TRANSCRIPTION OF A TALK
During the last two decades, I've had a rare, and wonderful opportunity
to meet some of the most noble, and achieved people on earth. I've met the
heads of nations, people who create great art, great literature. I've met
people who run cooperation, and done it successfully. I've met some of the
best teachers America has, some of the greatest scientists. With every
famous, and celebrated person I've met, the most famous actors and actresses,
I've asked each one of them a question: when it's dark, and you are alone,
do you ever say to yourself, "what will I do, when they find out on me? "
I've never failed to get the nod with the question. Every one of them said
yes. What was it that I, and they, were afraid of this we discover? That I
am inferior, that I am vulnerable, that I deserve to be rejected. You see,
I've thought for years, that I was the only human being, who when it was
dark, and I was alone, worried that others would find out that I was not quite
good enough, that I could be hurt, that maybe, I didn't belong. I know now
that every same human being worries that others will find out that they are
inferior, they are vulnerable, they deserve to be rejected. Every one of us,
when it's dark, we're alone, says," what will I do when they find out on me?
" Over the course of my life, I've learned seven rules that would serve me
well. If you will, seven rules to live by. And the first and most important is
to know who is responsible. I am responsible. When we begin with those three
words, we can build a new life, even, a new world. The second is to believe in
something big. Believe in something big. Your life is worth a noble motive.
Three, practice tolerance. You'll like yourself a lot more, and so will others.
Fourth, be brave. And remember that courage is acting with fear, not without
it. It's a difference if you look between Rocky and Rambo. Rocky is courageous,
because Rocky continues on even though he's afraid. Rambo, on the other hand,
has no fear. He's a cycle path. That's not courage. Fifth, love someone,
because you should know joy. When we're children that need to be loved it's
phenomenal. When we are adult, the need of love is greater. Sixth, be
ambitious. No single effort will solve all of your problems, achieve all of
your dreams, or even be enough. And that's okay. To want to be more than we
are is real, and normal, and healthy. Finally, number seven, smile. Because no
one can do that for you
