The quotes are not new. As aspiring leaders, we've all heard some version of these words, many times before. No shortage of successful people with YouTube videos offering us advice on how to "make it", in life.

Even so, there's something about Denzel's story that's simply fascinating. Maybe it's the man's humility or his candor. Perhaps it's the simple way he shares he's story, without glorifying his setbacks or accomplishments.

"Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship. Without commitment, you'll never start, without consistency, you'll never finish".

"Dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment. So, have dreams but have goals. Life Goals, Yearly Goals, Monthly Goals, Yearly Goals".

"Don't confuse movement with progress. Just because you're doing a lot more, doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. To achieve your goals, you must apply discipline and consistency, Every day".

"Hard Work, Works. Working really hard is what successful people do. What are you going to do with what you have. I'm not talking about how much you have. Whatever your gift is, what are you going to do, with what you have. It's not how much you have, it's what you DO with what you have".

"The most selfish thing you can do in this world is help someone else. To be Selfless - to Serve Others. Because the gratification, the good feeling you get from helping somebody else - nothing can beat that".

"Don't just aspire to make a living - Aspire to make a difference".

It's a short clip - well worth watching.
