Short monologue urging personal discipline: finish what you start, commit to tasks instead of postponing them, and accept hard work as a choice. The speaker frames long hours and intense effort as a deliberate ‘pick your hard’ strategy to avoid financial problems and expects personal principles to evolve over time.
Finish what you start. So when I was young, I would start a lot of stuff, never finish it. So I was like, nope, you need to be committed. Second. I would tell myself, hey, I'm going to do this tonight. And when it's tonight, I'm like, I'll do it tomorrow. Yeah, if it's 3:00am I need to do something. Well, listen, this is what I signed up for. It needs to get done. Get it done. I need to understand that. Same thing with the hard aspect. Everything is hard. Pick your hard. I'd rather pick the heart of me working 70 hours and working extreme and struggling with that, opposed to having financial problems. Don't want to have financial problems. I want to avoid that as much as possible for the rest of my life. Those things just kind of cultivate as time goes on and whatever principles I have now, if you look at it in five years from now, things may be added, things may be taken off. Things that are there now flip, maybe they become my norm.
