Truly, I wouldn't want the job if it was given to me, and they've got so much of this talk about creating new jobs. I'm going to talk about TSA, the Transportation Security Administration.

I'm in the airport and I see these people, like bees or ants—they just swarm over, and they've got all these useless agents and there are people sitting there bored, and there are people chit-chatting.

I think, "Man, at this time of crisis in the U.S., we're not creating jobs! We're making jobs." Which is the President's plan, but they're worthless pieces of crap! These people are not productive, they're not going anywhere in their life, and they think that they're getting benefits from the government.

Now, I know you would never be so foolish as to think that you're getting a gift from your government. No, they always take more than they give. And that's the whole point of this thing: evaluate. Just because people are swarming to these jobs, it's because they don't have a higher vision. They're not in motion accomplishing their own dreams.

Let this be a warning to you, let this be a reminder to you, of the reasons why you have such a much more fulfilling life. One of them is that you're doing something because instead of just sitting there being bored, occasionally telling a person, "You can't go that way," or "If you go that way, you're going to have to go through security again."

You're not a person who is running those little tubs back and forth all day, thinking they're mighty, mighty important…or even worse a supervisory person one level up, who really thinks they're mighty important, because when they come around other people talk to them.

Again, it's the old J. Paul Getty thing—whose train are you on? Are you treading water, or are you getting ahead? And there's so much opportunity for you to tread water.

I’m talking about something quite different than the normal, run-of-the-mill style of life.

Those who have money and those who have the ability to create money at will, those who understand the real secrets behind the manifest reality—when they see something they want, they don't say, "I can't afford it." First of all, "I can't" is a dis-empowering emotion, a statement or affirmation that they would never open up to.

What they do instead of saying "I can't afford it" is, they find out what the price is, and go about finding a way to make it happen. That's the difference—accepting apparent limitations, or being in a spot where you know that you create the reality, and where you decide to just go make it happen.

That's one of the reasons why we talk about plans, why we talk about determination, why we talk about faith, not questioning—just go make it happen.

That's what the millionaires do.

The Pro Code says that if you take a job, if you make a commitment, if you make a promise, you'll do it. The Pro Code says you'll do whatever it takes.

The Pro Code is not what you've been trained in if you went through the conventional school system—because you were taught that, yeah, there's always a way to get out. You can make an excuse.

And the Pro Code is what very few people subscribe to. If you are a pro, you know what I'm talking about.

And if you are a pro, it'll drive you crazy when people want to talk about "Well, yes, I tried the key and it didn't work," or, "But I was in a hurry, and what you said you wanted…"

An excuse is an excuse is an excuse.

Pros don't take and pros don't make excuses. They don't have that luxury. They have stepped into a higher level of living and achievement—and I invite you to join us in the Pros Club, following the Pro Code.

It's really simple. It says that if you make a promise, keep it. If you take a job, do it on time.

I'm sure as a thinking human being, like myself, you've often thought about these random acts of maliciousness.  Aye—crowd shootings, crowd drivings, school shootings, shooting from the top of a university tower.

And then—I'll stop right there. What is it? You know, the situation is probably so far from you that you can't even comprehend it, yet, at the state where you're at right now. And yet I'm begging you to make a leap—not so that it will taint you or make you worse, but so it will give you some kind of understanding of what's out there.

And that's the yin and the yang, the day and the night, the up and the down, the heavens and the hells. It's all there, always there. So, the random acts of maliciousness—of course I know, friend, that's actually a twist on "random acts of kindness", isn't it?  "Random acts of kindness" is a phrase I'd like to give credit for to the person who created it, if I knew who he or she was.

But I first remember it in the 1990s. Hey—if you can have random acts of kindness, if you can do that, at least you're doing something proactive. Because you can't stop a drive-by shooting in LA, and you can't stop a robbery of a mini-mart on 5th Avenue in New York, either, now can you?

No, but you can recognize and you can do whatever it is you can do. Certainly, live a good, solid, productive life. And why don't you throw in a few random acts of kindness?
