Wonderful | Dream Big | Motivational Written Text Speech in English for Students Success in Life
I Found That Nothing in Life
Isworthwhile
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’msure in Your Experiences in School
and Applying to College
and
Picking Yourmajor
and Deciding What You Want to Do with Life
I’m Sure People That Told You
to Make Sure You Have Something to Fallback on
Make Sure You’ve Got Somethingto 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 Leastthis Way
I’ll See What I’m Going to Hit
Without Consistency
You’ll Never Finish
So Do What You Feel Passionate About
Passionate About
Take Chances
Don’t Be Afraid to Fail
There’s an Old Iq Test
There’s an Old Iq Test Nine Dots
and You Had to
Draw Five Lines with a Pencil
Within These Nine Dots
Without Lifting the Pencil
the Only Way to Do It Was 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
Reggie Jackson Struck Out
26 Hundred Times in His Career
the Most
in the History of Baseball
but You Don’t Hear About the Strikeouts
People Remember the Homeruns
Fall Forward
Thomas Edison Conducted
1,000 Failed Experiments
Did You Know That I Didn’t Know That
Because the
1,001st Was the Light Bulb
Fall Forward
Every Failed Experiment
Is One Step Closer to Success
You’ve Got to Take Risks
and I’m Sure You Probably Heard That Before
but I Want to Talk to You About
Why That’s Important
You Will Fail
at Some Point in Your Life
Accept It ,You Will Lose
You Will Embarrass Yourself
You Will Suck at Something
There’s No Doubt About It
and I Know That’s Probably
Not a Traditional Message for a Graduation Ceremony Today
I’m Telling You Embrace
It Because It’s Inevitable
in the Acting Business You Fail All the Time
Early on in My Career
I Auditioned for a Part in a Broadway Musical
Perfect Role for Me I Thought
Except for the Fact That I Can’t Sing
I Didn’t Get the Job
but Here’s the Thing
I Didn’t Quit
I Didn’t Fall Back
I Walked Out of There to Prepare
for the Next Audition
and the Next Audition and the Next Audition
I Prayed I Prayed and I Prayed
but I Continue to Fail and Fail and Fail
but It Didn’t Matter Because You Know What
There’s an Old Saying
“You Hang Around the Barbershop Long Enough Sooner or Later
You’re Going to Get a Haircut”
So You Will Catch a Break
and I Did Catch a Break
Last Year
I Did a Play Called Fences on Broadway
but Here’s the Kicker
It Was at the Court Theatre
It Was at the Same Theatre
That I Failed at First Audition
30 Years Prior
the Point Is
Every Graduate Here Today Has the Training
and the Talent to Succeed
but Do You Have the Guts to Fail
If You Don’t Fail
You’re Not Even Trying
I’ll Say It Again
If You Don’t Fail You’re Not Even Trying to Get Something
You Never Had You Have to Do Something You Never Did
Imagine You’re on Your Deathbed
and Standing Around Your Deathbed
Are the Ghosts Representing Your Unfulfilled Potential
the Ghosts of the Ideas You Never Acted on
The Ghosts of the Talents You Didn’t Use
and They’re Standing Around Your Bed
Angry
Disappointed
and Upset
They Say We Came to You
Because You Could Have Brought Us to Life
They Say
and Now We Have to Go to the Grave Together
So I Ask You Today
How Many Ghosts Are Going to Be
Around Your Bed When Your Time Comes
I Just Got Back from South Africa
Its Beautiful Country
but There Are Places There with Terrible Parvat Poverty
That
Need Help When Africa’s Just the Tip of the Iceberg
the Middle East Needs Your Help
Japan Needs Your Help
Alabama Needs Your Help
Tennessee Needs Your Help
Louisiana Needs Your Help
Philadelphia Needs Your Help
the World Needs a Lot
and We Need It from You
We Really Do We Need It from You Young People
I Mean I’m Not Speaking for the Rest of Us Up Here
but I Know I’m Getting a Little Grayer
We Needed from You the Young People
Because Remember
This
but You Got to Get Out There
You Got to Give It Everything
You Got
Whether It’s Your Time
Your Your Your Talent
Your Prayers or Your Treasures
What Are You Going to Do with What You Have
I’m Not Talking About How Much You Have
Some of You Are Business Majors
Some of You Are Theologians Nurses Sociologists
Some of You Have Money
Some of You Have Patients
Some of You Have Kindness
Some of You Have Loved
Some of You Have a Gift of Long-Suffering
Whatever It Is Whatever Your Gift Is
What Are You Going to Do with What You Have
Alright Now Here’s My Last Point About Failure
Sometimes
It’s the Best Way to Figure Out Where You’re Going
Your Life Will Never Be a Straight Path
I Began at Fordham University as a Pre-Med Student
I Took a Course Called That
Cardiac Morphogenesis I Couldn’t Read It
I Couldn’t Say It That Sure Couldn’t
Pass It
So Then I Decided to Go into
Pre-Law Then Journalism and with No
Academic Focus
My Grades Took Off in Their Own Direction
I Was a 1.8 Gpa
and the University Very Politely Suggested
That It Might Be Better to Take Some Time Off
I Was 20 Years Old
I Was at My Lowest Point and Then One Day and I
Remember the Exact Day March 27 1975
I Was Helping My Mother and Her Beauty Shop
My Mother Owned a Beauty Shop Up in
My Vernon and There’s There Was This
Older Woman Who Was Considered One of
the Elders in the Town and I Didn’t Know
Her Personally
but I Was Looking in the
Mirror and Every Time I Looked Through
the Mirror I Could See Her Behind Me and
She Was Staring at Him She Just Kept
Looking at Me Every Time I Looked at It
She Kept Giving Me These Strange Looks
So She Finally Took the Dryer Off Her
Head and Says to Some She Said Something
I’ll Never Forget
She Said Young Boy I Have a Prophecy a
Spiritual Prophecy
She Said You Are Going to Travel the
World and Speak to Millions of People
and in the Years That Follow Just as
That Woman Prophesize I Have Traveled
the World and I Have Spoken as Demands
of People Through My Movies Millions Who
Up Til This Day Couldn’t See Me I Wound
Up Till This Day I Couldn’t See While I
Was Talking to Them and They Couldn’t
See Me That Only See the Movie It
Couldn’t See the Real Me
but I See You Today
and I’m Encouraged by What I See and I’m
Strengthened by What I See
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 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
Never Be Discouraged Never Hold Back
Give Everything You’ve Got and When You
Fall Through Out Light Remember This
Fall Forward
