Burn the boats

It's fly or die, gentlemen

Sink or swim

We either take this island or we die

No surrendering, no retreating

The only way we go home is on our enemy's ships

It's easy to give up when you have a way out

Burn the boats

Burn your excuses

Burn your fears and insecurities

Burn your doubts and lack of confidence

Success is your only option

Failure's not

So many of you, I know this

I've gone through this as well, you're out there

You're trying, and you've got people who want you to fail

People you love who just want you to go back to normal life

They want you to live a normal life

And as you're trying to do things beyond yourself, people want you to fail

I think we understand this

This is something that's got me through so many times

It's not a bad thing to fail

It's a gift that we have to go fail, to learn, to grow

And if we keep doing it, we'll become who we need to be

When your back's against the wall, that's when you find out what you're really made of

It's in the dark moments when your light shines brightest

It's under enormous pressure that coal is turned into a diamond

It's insurmountable odds that cause men and women to rise to the challenge

The only person you were destined to become is the person you decide to be

What you do today matters

The actions you take every day matter

The path to success is not convenient

It's easy to stay in bed and watch TV

But there is no instant life for microwave dreams

Life is not some clickable link, and there's no such thing as an overnight success

Gold medals aren't really made of gold

They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts

And I think coming back to this understanding that gold medals are not made of gold

They're made of all the stuff you put in to earn it

So if you really want to get those things, you want the gold medals

You want the records, you want the prize, you want the money

You want the whatever you're driving forces

You understand that that's what's made of the blood, sweat, determination

Everyone starts somewhere

I started with zero followers

Subscribers, fans, and ideas

I spent five years honing my craft as a songwriter

Rejected, disappointed, show after show

Song after song, before I finally had any success

Which was halfway across the globe in Japan

It took another five years before I ever got recognized in my own country

So yeah, overnight success, ten years in the making

Championships aren't won in the ring with lights and a cheering crowd

They're won in solitude, training in the gym

Day after day, rep after rep when no one's looking

During a lot of times in my life where things have been down

And hard and I've been struggling

I turned to Churchill so many times

And this is one of my favorite quotes talking about the war

He said, we have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind

We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering

You ask, what is our policy?

I will say it's to wage war by sea

By land, by air, with all of our might

With all of our strength that God has given us

That is our policy

You ask, what is our aim?

I can answer in one word

Victory

Victory at all costs

Victory in spite of all terror

Victory however long and hard the road may be

I think for all of you guys who are out there who are trying to be successful

It's not going to be easy

You have many long months of struggle and suffering

What is your aim?

It's victory

Victory at all costs
