I'm still crying watching this..... I was homeless in New York City and I remember almost 1 year of people stepping over me. Then I decided I needed help and joined the United States Marine Corps, Now, I have a Masters Degree and I'm WORKING day and night....
Get it done. Dont cry, you can now look back smile and laugh at your haters. Dont hate though, love moves you to advancement, so love your enemies. You get even being successful :) Thank God for the guts to pick up your bed and walk. I'm proud of you. I too have an awesome story. Keep moving forward.
I listen to this speech every morning during my routine. My favorite speech ET has given & it hits EVERYTIME you listen. LEGENDARY‼️ "Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten"
"The worst thing in the world is not growing up in poverty,the worst thing in the world is growing up in poverty coming here getting worshipped and not taking advantage of this and you gotta go back to the hoods" Legend ET
"You better grow up and get to the point as a man that you better get beaten by somebody thats just purely more talented than you are. You better not ever be beaten by somebody because you beat yourself."
Lol I kind of giggled to myself when Eric said, "I'm going to say this last thing, then I'm about to head out", somewhere in those lines, I guess he felt that, that energy and motivation needed more space in that classroom. KEEP ON ERIC!!!! YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT BROTHER!!!
I didn't realize how good this one was until recently..always cropped pieces of this vid but never watched from beginning to end...all I have to say is WOW I'm pumped!
Amazingly deep video I love it. An my Motivational Speaking video's are growing so if anyone have time to watch check out my channel. It will be great thanks in Advance.
"Cuz real lions like to hunt, they love the *process* just as much as they love the prize, and some of y'all just wanna score, you don't like the process. You not *in love* with the process." Powerful stuff ‼️💯
I love he's in there working out just speaking. Could you imagine the energy he's sending out in the room. Giving it his all. That's some authenticity for you!
ET no words can Express on how ur thought process has guided me! Just how I have looked at every minute of every day, making it permanent. I'm out grinding the competition in every aspect of my life. Thank u soooo much big bro, everyone wants to be a beast until it's Time to DO WHAT BEASTS DO!!!! 💯
To all of us that have been grinding, day in & day out, night time, day time, week or weekend; “ a real man, in the dark, when nobody is watching, he puttin in work” really resonates with us.
Thanks ET for all the motivation and information... I listen to your speeches like it's the hottest hip hop song out right now... repeat....repeat... repeat... keep up the great work!
This was one of the first time I heard ET go all in like this! I’ve been rolling with ET for quite a while now his growth has really grew and even back then I didn’t think he could get any better but he just keeps getting greater! This is what a life looks like when you compound your skills over many years!
The reason 3:00 on rings so true for dude on the left is because that’s Jacoby Brissett and NC State was his last opportunity. Transferred from Florida after losing the starting job, now he is in the nfl. Get some.
My FRESHMEN year in highschool I got cut from the basketball team. I was so hurt that I went to find the coach in school, who is also a teacher and talked to him. I asked him why he cut me. The coach said i was too small and I have no handles and can't shoot the ball well and that there were other guards who were better than me. I was so hurt that I cried and was so embarrass that my friends who made the team knew I got cut, the school knew I got cut, my family knew I got cut. The next day I went to the park and started working out, working on my weaknesses, doing drills. I did this Air Alert program to increase my abilities in jumping, speed, explosiveness, etc. I would tell my dad to drop me off to the park everyday and leave me there for 3 to 4 hours in the morning. I watched a lot of nba games and observed and learned the game better. I played a lot of pick up games to work on my new moves and to see increase my IQ of the game. I played one on one with the best players in the park and older players and varsity players. I would lose but my game would get better that later on in months that I would beat them or have a really close game. SOPHOMORE year came and the coach who cut me now coaches JV. I tried out and I beasted! All the hard work I put in that one year showed that I was in a higher level than the people that tried out. I would average 20+ 8assist in games. Coach moved me to VARSITY in the second half of the season. I was the only sophomore in varsity but I barely got any play time and so the NEW MOTIVATION STARTED. I wanted to be starter! Worked my ass off for the following year and BECAME A STARTER my junior year. Brought the team to the first NCS championship ever but lost by 3 point. I was MVP in our lleague and hold a lot of records. Next year we WON THE NCS CHAMPIONSHIP and lost in the 2ND ROUND IN STATE. I PLAYED IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND GOT A SCHOLARSHIP TO WALDORF UNIVERSITY. BTW I'M 5'6 140LBS. BE THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON IN THE ROOM!!!!
MonStar115 see even this this is great motivation inspiration whatever but almost everyone wont take the time to read it as soon as they hit read more and see how long it is they move on also thanks for saying weight and height it adds alot to it cause like dang only 5,6 and 140 and yet i bet you were still beasting over 6,2-6,7 guys giod job bro way to work
I’m sitting in my office so pumped right now. Bout to head to the break room and use that line “you made it to the break room and now you wanna chill!!!!???”
I never thought I was gonna make it but I did from what he said,god gave me a chance to learn from my mistakes and turn them around I can't take back what I've done but I know I can do better once I keep telling myself that I'm trying my hardest an that I know who I am an know what I'm capable of doing.
WOW this a powerful speech, be phenomenal or be forgotten. You have to out grind, you will not out work me. You better grow up. You have to take advantage of an opportunity of a life time, in the life time of the opportunity. You have an opportunity right now that will not have 5 years from now. You to go out and get it guys ALL IN!!!!
Unfortunately these type of speeches are lost on 99% of the people in attendance, but if just one person in the room can become a better person then his job is complete. Each one teach one!
"You finally made it to the big league, and now you wanna chill?"
That’s a message in itself
Ahmed J came here to hear this again. Resonated so well with me
No i don't wanna chill I'll do what the beats do ❤️
That hit me hard today.
My favorite line of all time!!!
a real man in the dark, when nobody is watching, he put in work
+John Anthony Masagca My quote
John Anthony Masagca My motto 📚

Angel Vega everybody needs motivation ones in a while even 'real men'.
I listen to this speech every morning during my routine. My favorite speech ET has given & it hits EVERYTIME you listen. LEGENDARY‼️
"Be Phenomenal or Be Forgotten"
I listen to this anytime I'm up against self doubt
"You have to take advantage of an opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity." --ET
Powerful!
My best quote in the video!
you only get 1 to show, the rest is set, by that 1
"The worst thing in the world is not growing up in poverty,the worst thing in the world is growing up in poverty coming here getting worshipped and not taking advantage of this and you gotta go back to the hoods" Legend ET
I've watched for about 1000 times over the years.. still watching..
One of his greatest speeches ever. You can tell who’s engaged and who’s not
One of my favourite speeches by ET, So much passion.
"A real Man in the *DARK* while nobody's watching he's putting on work"... felt like it was about me 🙂
I've watched this video a million times probably and it motivates me everytime. ET got me through college, literally.
i love you bruh
I cant believe my tears comes out watching Eric so much passion. I feel him
I literally know this speech word for word. I love it.
I left my phone by the fish tank came back and it turned into shark tank. Holy crap!! So much passion!!
lol bruh!
Hahaha.
"You better grow up and get to the point as a man that you better get beaten by somebody thats just purely more talented than you are. You better not ever be beaten by somebody because you beat yourself."
it means that you cheated on yourself, like skipping practice or not going 100% during practice and stuff.
1:20 "You made it now. You made it now. You in the big leauges now. This is where you make it PERMANENT."
Spag Heddy - Permanent
"practice don't make perfect... Practice makes PERMANENT!" I felt that one E!! 🔥🔥💪💪
from the first day i heard this i was never the same
Lol I kind of giggled to myself when Eric said, "I'm going to say this last thing, then I'm about to head out", somewhere in those lines, I guess he felt that, that energy and motivation needed more space in that classroom. KEEP ON ERIC!!!! YOU HAVE MY FULL SUPPORT BROTHER!!!
I didn't realize how good this one was until recently..always cropped pieces of this vid but never watched from beginning to end...all I have to say is WOW I'm pumped!

Amazingly deep video I love it. An my Motivational Speaking video's are growing so if anyone have time to watch check out my channel. It will be great thanks in Advance.
I use to listen to music at the gym but now it’s ET motivational videos.
He has more passion than the entire team. They didn't sound jacked up after that talk during the chant at the end.
"Cuz real lions like to hunt, they love the *process* just as much as they love the prize, and some of y'all just wanna score, you don't like the process. You not *in love* with the process."
Powerful stuff ‼️💯
"Be phenomenal or be forgotten"
I love he's in there working out just speaking. Could you imagine the energy he's sending out in the room. Giving it his all. That's some authenticity for you!
One of my all time favorite ET talks!
I was in that room for this Speech and I still come back to watch it to this day
LUCKY how did he go to y’all’s school?
@@jonny1289 I think that we just paid him to come speak like anyone else would. Very cool experience
I just watched this like 20 times on repeat.
ET no words can Express on how ur thought process has guided me! Just how I have looked at every minute of every day, making it permanent. I'm out grinding the competition in every aspect of my life. Thank u soooo much big bro, everyone wants to be a beast until it's Time to DO WHAT BEASTS DO!!!! 💯
To all of us that have been grinding, day in & day out, night time, day time, week or weekend; “ a real man, in the dark, when nobody is watching, he puttin in work” really resonates with us.
Moral i learn in this session keep grinding even if you are successful when i look at this the words that i hear is be phenomenal or be forgotten.
Thanks ET for all the motivation and information... I listen to your speeches like it's the hottest hip hop song out right now... repeat....repeat... repeat... keep up the great work!
Anyone else here because of a dubstep song called permanent? This speech is beautiful, so much was put into this.
ET is an absolute legend.
Glad I watched this, this should easily have millions of views sad to say, but people want to be entertained, not informed...smh.
True
+Javan Cornelius That is absolutely true bro. I was just thinking the same thing!
Very, very well said and absolutely true. This frustrates me about people. ET is a legend.

The guy in the front row with a beard knows what's up. He's thinking about what he's saying. He can make it, anyone can, will you?
That's Jacoby Brisset, now on NEP.
Up at 2:30 am still working, listening to Eric Thomas. Everybody wants to be a BEAST...until it's time to do what beast do!
Devon Franklin SAME HERE AT WORK TAKEING THIS IN DEEP

This was one of the first time I heard ET go all in like this! I’ve been rolling with ET for quite a while now his growth has really grew and even back then I didn’t think he could get any better but he just keeps getting greater!

Trevor Osbourne don't be so quick to judge, he had his page filled with notes of what ET was saying
"THIS IS WHERE YOU MAKE IT PERMANENT" - original scenery

*This is where you make it Permanent!*
The reason 3:00 on rings so true for dude on the left is because that’s Jacoby Brissett and NC State was his last opportunity. Transferred from Florida after losing the starting job, now he is in the nfl. Get some.
And NOW HE IS TAKING OVER
Good observation.. maybe ET saved his life !
I love this guy! He's fucking real 👍
