now we have to start all over
you almost feel like an outsider the
coaches are sympathetic but they still
have to coach and you're not there it's
a dark place
probably the darkest that's ever
you're saddened down and out and you ask
yourself why did this have to happen
it's in this moment that you find out
who you really are and what you're
really
most of us go through life without
plates on holding back not given all
that we have not sharing all of
ourselves most of us go to our graves
[Music]
rather than release
[Music]
because of past experience past defeats
past pain
we look back well it didn't work out
then
- probably won't work out
[Music]
but tonight we were exposed for what we
are right now it means that what I did
didn't work tonight and I've got to
separate what I do from Who I am I feel
like we all have two battles or two
enemies going on one with the man across
from Rhea the second is with the man
inside of you I think once you control
the one inside of you
the one across from here really doesn't
matter I think that's what we're all
trying to do you aren't handed anything
you earn everything every single day
over and over again you have to prove it
you can use off the ground just your
hands and feet there you go little bit
left
a good effort you coming
there you go it's a good start a little
bit left a little bit left
good strength
[Music]
that's it
you got morning in the man
the stigmas down the winters got nothing
left
[Music]
keep trying to candies
be private
that's it that's it that's it keep going
don't quit on the heat oh yeah keep
driving keep keep your knees on the
ground
that's your merriment no very best
a-prime b-prime
they no they don't
knees off the ground keep driving don't
quit till you got nothing left that's it
that's it that's it keep go
Mary keep
don't tell me I know I said by
Australian you negotiate with your
buddies the far more sleepy don't you
give up you keep going keep going come
on
[Applause]
it's in this moment that you find out
who you really are and what you're
really about
[Music]
take responsibility to make your life
happen don't accept things just as they
are don't follow the crowd you want to
be different what would the Thoreau said
you can't the man doesn't keep pace with
his companions perhaps he's listening to
the beat of a different drummer let him
dance to the music that he hears however
measured afar upon that if your friends
don't understand you it's okay you're
listening to the beat of a different
drummer you've decided that you're not
going to allow your circumstances to
define you you've decided that you're
not going to allow the events for things
the people life determine who you become
you decided that you're not going to go
through life being a whiner being a
complainer that you're going to take
responsibility for what it is that you
want to create the greatest ability that
God has given humankind above the
animals is the ability to choose a dog
can't be anything but a dog a cat can't
be anything but a cat a human being has
the power to choose we can choose so
what mr. Washington did was he he helped
me to look at myself and he helped me to
look into the future what do you see for
yourself in the future what do you mean
mr. Washington what do you see for you
mr. Brown at that time I hadn't gotten
clear about that I was thinking only in
the moment as most young people do and
I'm asking you what do you see in the
future for you what brought you here
today what caused you to get up to
invest your time your energy your money
what cost you to buy a plane ticket and
fly in here to be at this event what is
it that you're looking for I'll never
forget one gresham
a speaker out of New York one of the
most powerful speakers I've heard in the
National Speakers Association and he
talked about it appeared in his life
when he was going across Europe trying
to find him
just travelling around the world and one
particular country soldiers woke up the
sleeping passengers and asked them three
questions number one where have you been
number two why are you here and number
three where are you going and that's
what I asked you where have you been
with your life what is your life given
to you how do you feel about your life
is it working
have you given it all that you can give
and I asked the question how many of you
if you had your life to live over again
most of us if we're honest we will raise
our hands it's me o me o lord standing
in the need of prayer yes Lord it's me
no I know I came up in some rough times
yes it's true I was born on a floor in
an abandoned building with a twin
brother yes I don't know my mother and
father no I've I've never seen them yes
I was labeled educable mentally retarded
no I don't have a college education yes
I was raised poor but we didn't know
that we were poor we had a lot of love
mama did what she couldn't what she had
mama did day's work she worked in the
M&M cafeteria you could look at my life
and you could perhaps say that that my
life has been a failure but uh we had
happiness we we had each other
no I wasn't raised on Miami Beach no I I
don't I don't have
an exciting life like a lot of people
that you could look at me at different
stages of my development but here's what
I know that all of us can look at where
we want to go we look at where we've
been look at what brought us here and I
think that what brought you here would
cost you to show up is that you not only
want to make a difference in your life
but you want to make a difference in
somebody else's life I think that what
cost you to be here if you looked around
and and said hey if if by being here by
aligning myself with this organization
that's using television which is the
most powerful instrument we have on the
planet then we can touch some lives we
can change how people see themselves and
how they can reinvent themselves if this
will allow me to leave a legacy to make
a difference on on the consciousness of
young people and adults I'd like to be a
part of that it's a cause larger than
myself
Kenny Rogers said a good life is
something to do someone to love and
something to look forward to and when
you have something to do when you have
someone to love when you have something
to look forward to and you get up in the
morning see people who have something to
look forward to don't need an alarm
clock because they have a reason for
being nietzsche said if you know the why
for living you can endure almost any how
so when you look at yourself and you're
looking to the future what do you see
what do you see yourself doing
differently who will be with you who
will be around you will it be a life or
contribution a life would prevent your
life of excitement what will be
different about you see whatever you see
it's important that you take
responsibility to become the kind of
person that can produce those results
who you've become up to this point has
produced what you have your earning
power your lifestyle the relationships
that you have
