During the last two decades, I 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 created great art, great literature. I've met people who've run corporations and done it successfully. I met some of the best teachers in America hand and some of the great scientists. With every famous and celebrated person I've met, most famous actors and actress, I've asked each 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 that on me." I've never failed to get a nod with the question. Every one of them said yes. What was it that I and they were afraid of this 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 are alone, says, "What will I do when they find that 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 I 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. Four, be brave and remember the 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. Ramble, on the other hand, has no fear. It's a cycle path. That's not courage. Fifth, love someone because you
should know joy. When we're children, the need to be loved is phenomenal. When we're 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 else can do that for you.
