You've invested a lot in your education, and people have invested in you, and let me tell you, the world needs your talents and does it ever.

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 need it from you, the young people.

Because remember this. So you got to get out there, you got to give it everything you got, whether it's your time, your talent, your prayers, or your treasures.

Because remember this. You will never see a you-hole behind a hearse. I'll say it again.

You will never see a you-hole behind a hearse. You can't take it with you. The Egyptians tried it, and all they got was robbed.

So the question is, 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 patience, some of you have kindness, some of you have love, some of you have the gift of long suffering, whatever it is, whatever your gift is.

What are you going to do with what you have?

Fail big. That's right. Fail big. Today's the beginning of the rest of your life, and it can be very frightening.

The new world out there, it's a mean world out there, and you only live once. So do what you feel passionate about.

Passionate about. Take chances professionally. Don't be afraid to fail. This in all IQ tests was 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. So 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 were already done, and consistency every day, not just on Tuesday and miss a few days.

You have to work at it every day. You have to plan every day. You've heard the saying, we don't plan to fail. We fail to plan.

Hard work works. Working really hard is what successful people do. And in this text, tweet, twerk world that you've grown up in.

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, yeah, because you can run in place all the time and never get anywhere. So continue to strive and continue to have goals, continue to progress.

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.
