are god's gift to us as men we have to cherish that not abuse it i prayed this morning to be a better listener it didn't work so well it's we're human you get back up yes i've been high up on the mountain i've been blessed [Music] but that's a slippery slope yeah and it's lonely up there you know people don't know that side of it we did not come this far to just break down and lose now i'm a winner i'm going to win true desire in the heart that itch that you have whatever it is you want to do that thing that you want to do to help others and to to grow and to make money that desire that it's that's god's proof to you sit beforehand already to indicate that it's yours aspire to make a difference you are what you are in this world that's either one or two things either you're somebody or you're nobody never give up without commitment you'll never start but more importantly without consistency you'll never finish it's not easy if we're easy to be no denzel washington so keep working keep striving never give up fall down seven times get up eight ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship so keep moving keep growing keep learning see you at work well it may be frightening it will also be rewarding so you got to get out there you got to give it everything you got whether it's your time [Music] your talent your prayers or your treasures because taking risk is not just about going for a job it's also about knowing what you know and what you don't know it's about being open to people and to ideas [Music] to get something you never had you have to do something you never did [Music] because the chances you take the people you meet the people you love the faith that you have that's what's going to define you [Music] i found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks nothing nelson mandela said there is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living now i'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life i'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on make sure you got something to fall back on honey but i never understood that concept having something to fall back on if i'm going to fall i don't want to fall back on anything i want to fall forward i figure at least this way i'll see what i'm going to hit fall forward this is what i mean reggie jackson struck out 2600 times in his career the most in the history of baseball but you don't hear about the strikeouts people remember the home runs [Music] fall forward thomas edison conducted one thousand failed experiments did you know that i didn't know that because the one thousand and first was the light bulb fall forward [Music] fail big today's the beginning of the rest of your life and it can be it's gonna be very frightening it's a new world out there it's a mean world out there and you only live once so do what you feel passionate about take chances professionally don't be afraid to go outside the box don't be afraid to think outside the box don't be afraid to fail big to dream big but remember dreams without goals are just dreams and they ultimately fuel disappointment so have dreams but have goals life goals yearly goals monthly goals daily goals i try to give myself a goal every day sometimes just to not curse somebody out simple goals but have goals and understand that to achieve these goals you must apply discipline and consistency in order to achieve your goals you must apply discipline which you've already done and consistency every day not just on tuesday and miss a few days you have to work at it hard work works you'll never see a u-haul behind a hearse i don't care how much money you make you can't take it with you the egyptians tried it they got robbed that's all they got you can't take it with you and it's not how much you have it's what you do with what you have we all have different talents some of you will be doctors some lawyers some scientists some educators some nurses some preachers the most selfish thing you can do in this world is help someone else why is it selfish because the gratification the goodness that comes to you the good feeling the good feeling that i get from helping others nothing's better than that well one or two things but nothing's better than that not not jewelry not big house i have not the cars but the it's the joy that's where the joy is in helping others that's where the success is and anything you want good you can have so claim it work hard to get it when you get it reach back pull someone else up each one teach one [Applause] remember just because you're doing a lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done remember that just because you're doing a lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done don't confuse movement with progress my mother told me she said yeah cause you can run in place all the time and never get anywhere so continue to strive continue to have goals continue to progress [Music] [Music] you.
