A keynote speech by Kenny Chapman arguing that life outcomes are the result of personal choices and that time—equally allotted to everyone—is the critical resource for pursuing dreams. The speaker challenges the common "I don't have time" excuse and aims to encourage converting available time into productive, goal-directed action.
Why do we hear it from some and not from others? Because it's about choices that you make. Ladies and gentlemen, today, right now, as you sit in your chairs in this room, your life, as you look at it, is a sum total of the decisions you've made to this point in your life. That's it. That's it. And we make the time argument. Well, I don't have enough time to go after my dreams. That takes a lot of energy. That takes a lot of effort. I don't have time, really, because I'm pretty sure that time is the only resource that we all share. 100% inequality. Now, what do you mean by that? Well, we come from different backgrounds, different education, different financial situations, different races, different neighborhoods, different demographics, but we all have the same amount of time. What are we doing with that time? That's what I want to know today. And what I want to do is help us move that time into productive time.
