DISCIPLINE IS EVERYTHING – Cristiano Ronaldo The Most Powerful Motivational Speech

I was feeling from the beginning that I was different than the other ones. Cristiano Ronaldo, what's the biggest key to your personal success? The discipline of Cristiano. The discipline is unbelievable. I never see this. Belief. I think you should believe in everything and of course the rest it's the dedication, the hard work. Well my best words is dedication and hard work. To achieve these kind of things you need to work hard and you know be a great professional, be serious in your job. We all have talent but talent without the work it's nothing. I think so yes. In my mind I'm always the best. I don't care what the people thinking, what they say. In my mind not just this year but always I'm always the best. Cristiano, you did it again. It's your job. It's my job yeah. Do you think what makes you different to the others, to the next rung on the ladder if you like, the very good players, is the dedication level that you put in? I think I'm good but I think my main strength it's my mind. Because everyone wants to be Cristiano but I give you the map, you think you will do it that? The discipline is in another level. I see professional football players and stuff like that but someone that's been there every single day and don't stop, that's Cristiano. I'm my own medic, my own doctor. I am a mental coach, my nutritionist, my doctor. If you do the right things you're going to be better than other persons. Listen Cristiano, let's go. Because pain you're going to have all the time uncertainty and constant work, constant work, constant work. Doesn't matter what's going to happen in your life, you have to continue. This is the way I see life. Believe in your capacities, work hard, dedicate yourself 100% and dream. So in my area I think I'm the best. All of us nobody's perfect. We failed too many times. We have so many uncertainty in our life that we have to be capable when we are down to stand up. It's part of the journey, it's part of the process, it's part of our education. In my case I learned the most when I'm down and it's good that these certain moments happen because when you are in the top of the wave you don't see under what's going on. I think it's my strongest point, it's my mind. Piers, the numbers they don't like. If you see during the last 15 years my level is always kind of the same. So effort, dedication, work hard because the talent is not enough anymore and if you're not dedicated 100% you're not gonna reach the level. The discipline is the difficult thing not only in the sport but in the life. I fight against that. It's the big challenge, it's when you're not willing to do something but you have to do it. This is the main point, this is why I say our mind it's a box of surprises and you have to challenge yourself to be consistent. Why we don't believe that we can do it better? We have to believe, we have to be positive. We're not gonna give up, you know. The only give up is the guy who is weak mentally. You have to implant that in your mind that we are capable to change things. Life continues. Past is past, it never comes again. The present it's the best gift that we have in our life. The present because you know you don't know that what's gonna happen tomorrow. You don't know. I don't know, he don't know. So live the present. You like to go to the gym every day. Of course not. It's not true. Nobody likes to go to the gym every day but you have to do it. Probably yes because your mental strength is coming from that. From that moment that in a hard moment you know you should do it. When you are younger you think you can, you're gonna live forever, you're gonna have power forever. You think you are unbreakable but by the age, I have a great example in the football because it's the football, it's the demands physically and physically and body it's a lot. Ourselves we manage by memories. Our lives is memories. So I have good, I have very very good memories. The best players always follow the best players. They want to be in the top of the game because they are the ones they are there. You know you cannot rest or sleep because the other one can pass you. Of course we fight with everyone and we fight you know to be the best. This is why it's my main point, it's my motivation. It's to be better than them, year after year. It's part of my sacrifice, my obsession to win, to have success. You know when I say success it's I work for that. Talent is not enough. I dedicate myself so much that this is part of me. Records is part of me. I don't follow the records. The records follow me which is different. Are you addicted to winning? Yes I am. I'm addicted to the success. All package you know. First of all it's the talent helps a lot of course. But of course the ethic of work. You have to put in your mind ethic of work when you are professional. I'm always a competitive player and not just in the games. I'm in the training. I'm like that in the home with my sister, my mom, with my nephews. I'm always trying to be competitive hard and try to win. I'm like that you know. I never change because I like this. I like what I do. I like my life. I'm a happy person. You have to do the balance. You know the life it's all about the balance. And with the age you start to understand that the most important thing it's you know 100% your body. But I think I still feel good, sharp, motivated because I think the main point is the mind. If you feel motivated it helps a lot. So I still feel motivated and I just want to carry on like that. I think the best advice, I'm not the kind of guy to like to give advice. I prefer to be as example because I'm an example. I'm there every morning. I do the same stuff. I'm probably the first ones to arrive and the last ones to go out. I think the details speak for themselves. But everything is hard. The both ways is hard right? Yeah. You say to be like me, maybe in your opinion or the opinion of the old people, even my friends say that I'm sick to live that life. For me it's not a big deal. I do it in a comfortable way, in a happy way. My kids gonna suffer, your kids gonna suffer because one moment of the life they're gonna have pain. You understand? And the pain, uncertainty and what they have to do. It's constant work because nobody gonna help them. They're gonna be themselves in a hard moment and they're gonna falling down. They have to stand, cry alone and keep going. But they have to say to be in my shoes is not easy. But I'm not complaining. I just want to say that I feel happy. All this happened because the reason. The reason is I'm unbelievable inside the pitch. This is why the people have so much interest in me.
