I observed that nothing in life is 


beneficial except if you face challenges 


nothing Nelson Mandela said there is no 


energy to be tracked down playing little and 


agreeing to a life that is not exactly the 


one you're equipped for living currently I'm 


sure in your encounters in school and 


applying to school and picking your 


major and concluding what you need to do 


with life I'm certain individuals that told you 


to ensure you have something to fall 


back on ensure you have something 


to swear by honey yet I never 


perceived that idea having something 


to swear by in case I will fall I 


try not to need to count on anything I 


need to fall forward I figure at any rate 


this way I'll perceive what I will hit 


without consistency you'll never wrap up 


what do as well you have an energetic outlook on 


energetic with regards to take risks 


try not to be hesitant to come up short there's a no 


like you test was nine dabs and you had 


to define five boundaries with a pencil inside 


these nine spots without lifting the 


pencil the best way to do it was to go 


fresh don't be hesitant to think 


fresh don't be hesitant to fizzle 


huge to think beyond practical boundaries yet recollect dreams 


without objectives 


my simply dreams Reggie Jackson struck out 


26 hundred times in his vocation the most 


throughout the entire existence of baseball however you don't 


find out about the strikeouts individuals 


recall the grand slams 


fall forward Thomas Edison led 


1,000 bombed tests did you know 


that I didn't realize that in light of the fact that the 


1,000 and first was the light fall 


forward each bombed test is one 


step nearer to progress you must 


face challenges and I'm certain you most likely 


heard that previously yet I need to converse with 


you concerning for what reason that is significant you will 


flop sooner or later in your life acknowledge 


it you will lose you will humiliate 


yourself you will suck at something 


there's not even a shadow of a doubt 


furthermore, I realize that is most likely not a 


customary directive for a graduation 


service today I'm letting you know embrace 


it 


since it's inescapable in the acting 


business you bomb constantly right off the bat 


in my profession I tried out for a section in 


a Broadway melodic ideal job for me I 


thought aside from the way that I can't 


sing I didn't land the position 


be that as it may, here's what I didn't stop I 


didn't fall back I left there 


to plan for the following tryout and the 


next tryout and the following tryout I 


asked I asked and I supplicated 


yet, I proceed to fizzle and fall flat and come up short 


yet, it didn't make any difference since you know 


what there's a familiar adage you hang 


around the barbershop long sufficient sooner 


or on the other hand later you will get a hair style 


so you will get a break and I did 


get a break last year I did a play 


called wall on Broadway however here's the 


kicker he was at the Court Theater it 


was at the very auditorium that I fizzled at 


first tryout 30 years earlier 


the fact of the matter is each graduate here today 


has the preparation and the ability to 


succeed yet do you have the guts to fall flat 


in the event that you don't bomb you're not in any event, attempting 


I'll say it again if you don't fizzle 


you're not in any event, attempting to get something 


you never had you need to accomplish something 


you never did its envision you're on your 


deathbed and waiting around your 


deathbed are the apparitions addressing 


your unfulfilled expected the apparitions of 


the thoughts you never followed up on the apparitions 


of the gifts you didn't utilize and 


they're waiting around your bed irate 


frustrated and upset they say we came 


to you since you might have brought us 


to life they say 


furthermore, presently we need to go to the grave 


together so I ask you today the number of 


apparitions will be around your bed 


at the point when your opportunity arrives 


I just returned from South Africa's 


lovely nation however there are places 


there with horrible parvat neediness that 


need assistance when Africa's simply the tip of 


the ice shelf the Middle East necessities your 


help 


Japan needs your assistance Alabama needs your 


help Tennessee necessities your assistance 


Louisiana needs your assistance Philadelphia 


needs your assistance the world requirements a ton 


what's more, we want it from you we truly do we 


need it from you youngsters I mean I'm 


not representing most of us up here 


be that as it may, I realize I'm getting a little grayer 


we wanted from you the youngsters 


since recall this however you got to get 


out there you got to give it everything 


you got 


regardless of whether it's your time your your 


ability your supplications or your fortunes 


how are you going to manage what you 


have I'm not discussing the amount you 


have some of you are business majors 


some of you are scholars medical caretakers 


sociologists some of you have cash a few 


of you have patients some of you have 


thoughtfulness some of you have cherished some of 


you have an endowment of forbearing 


whatever it is whatever your gift is 


how are you going to manage what you 


have 


okay currently here's my last point about 


disappointment in some cases it's the most ideal approach to 


sort out where you're going your life 


won't ever be a straight way I started at 


Fordham University as a pre-prescription understudy 


I took a course called that 


cardiovascular morphogenesis I was unable to understand it 


I was unable to say it that sure proved unable 


pass it so then, at that point, I chose to go into 


pre-law then reporting and with no 


scholastic center my grades took off in 


their own heading I was a 1.8 GPA and 


the college courteously proposed 


that it very well may be smarter to take a few 


time off I was 20 years of age I was at my 


absolute bottom and afterward one day and I 


recollect the specific day March 27 1975 I 


was helping my mom and her excellence 


shop my mom possessed a stunner shop up in 


my Vernon and's there was this 


more established lady who was viewed as one of 


the older folks in the town and I didn't have the foggiest idea 


her by and by however I was examining the 


reflect and each time I glanced through 


the mirror I could see her behind me and 


she was gazing at him she recently kept 


seeing me each time I took a gander at it 


she continued to give me these bizarre looks 


so she at long last took the dryer off her 


head and says to some she said something 


I'll always remember 


she said little youngster I have a prescience a 


profound prediction 


she said you will venture to every part of the 


world and address a great many individuals 


furthermore, in the years that follow similarly as 


that lady prophesize I have voyaged 


the world and I have spoken as requests 


of individuals through my motion pictures millions who 


up until this day couldn't see me I wound 


up till this day I was unable to see while I 


was conversing with them and they proved unable 


see me that main see the film it 


couldn't see the genuine me 


however, I see you today 


also, I'm empowered by what I see and I'm 


reinforced by what I see 


since facing challenge isn't just about 


going for a task it's likewise about knowing 


what you know and what you don't have the foggiest idea 


it's tied in with being available to individuals and to 


thoughts the possibilities you take individuals 


you meet your loved ones 


the confidence that you have that is the thing that's 


going to characterize you 


never be debilitate never keep down 


give all that you have and when you 


fall all through light recollect this 


fall forward.
