1
00:00:02,468 --> 00:00:06,126
I want to discuss with you this afternoon

2
00:00:06,150 --> 00:00:08,588
why you're going to fail
to have a great career.

3
00:00:08,612 --> 00:00:09,987
(Laughter)

4
00:00:10,011 --> 00:00:12,205
I'm an economist.

5
00:00:12,706 --> 00:00:14,089
I do dismal.

6
00:00:14,823 --> 00:00:18,394
End of the day, it's ready
for dismal remarks.

7
00:00:19,204 --> 00:00:22,844
I only want to talk to those of you
who want a great career.

8
00:00:23,185 --> 00:00:26,907
I know some of you have already decided
you want a good career.

9
00:00:26,931 --> 00:00:28,321
You're going to fail, too.

10
00:00:28,345 --> 00:00:29,416
(Laughter)

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,049
Because -- goodness,
you're all cheery about failing.

12
00:00:32,073 --> 00:00:33,082
(Laughter)

13
00:00:33,106 --> 00:00:34,908
Canadian group, undoubtedly.

14
00:00:34,932 --> 00:00:38,058
(Laughter)

15
00:00:38,082 --> 00:00:40,900
Those trying to have good careers
are going to fail,

16
00:00:40,924 --> 00:00:43,844
because, really, good jobs
are now disappearing.

17
00:00:44,297 --> 00:00:47,634
There are great jobs and great careers,

18
00:00:47,658 --> 00:00:50,290
and then there are the high-workload,

19
00:00:50,314 --> 00:00:54,790
high-stress, bloodsucking,
soul-destroying kinds of jobs,

20
00:00:54,814 --> 00:00:56,515
and practically nothing in-between.

21
00:00:56,539 --> 00:00:58,940
So people looking for good jobs
are going to fail.

22
00:00:58,964 --> 00:01:02,146
I want to talk about those
looking for great jobs, great careers,

23
00:01:02,170 --> 00:01:05,026
and why you're going to fail.

24
00:01:05,937 --> 00:01:11,899
First reason is that no matter
how many times people tell you,

25
00:01:11,923 --> 00:01:15,153
"If you want a great career,
you have to pursue your passion,

26
00:01:15,177 --> 00:01:18,422
you have to pursue your dreams,
you have to pursue

27
00:01:18,446 --> 00:01:21,414
the greatest fascination in your life,"

28
00:01:21,438 --> 00:01:24,693
you hear it again and again,
and then you decide not to do it.

29
00:01:24,717 --> 00:01:28,041
It doesn't matter
how many times you download

30
00:01:28,065 --> 00:01:32,240
Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address,

31
00:01:32,264 --> 00:01:35,076
you still look at it
and decide not to do it.

32
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,790
I'm not quite sure
why you decide not to do it.

33
00:01:37,814 --> 00:01:39,891
You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard.

34
00:01:39,915 --> 00:01:42,782
You're afraid if you look
for your passion and don't find it,

35
00:01:42,806 --> 00:01:45,536
you'll feel like you're an idiot,
so then you make excuses

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,282
about why you're not going
to look for your passion.

37
00:01:48,306 --> 00:01:50,202
They are excuses, ladies and gentlemen.

38
00:01:50,226 --> 00:01:52,401
We're going to go through
a whole long list --

39
00:01:52,425 --> 00:01:56,691
your creativity in thinking of excuses
not to do what you really need to do

40
00:01:56,715 --> 00:01:58,937
if you want to have a great career.

41
00:01:58,961 --> 00:02:04,585
So, for example,
one of your great excuses is:

42
00:02:04,609 --> 00:02:05,966
(Sigh)

43
00:02:05,990 --> 00:02:09,745
"Well, great careers are
really and truly, for most people,

44
00:02:09,769 --> 00:02:11,896
just a matter of luck.

45
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,992
So I'm going to stand around,
I'm going to try to be lucky,

46
00:02:15,016 --> 00:02:17,262
and if I'm lucky,
I'll have a great career.

47
00:02:17,286 --> 00:02:18,896
If not, I'll have a good career."

48
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:22,523
But a good career is an impossibility,
so that's not going to work.

49
00:02:22,547 --> 00:02:24,198
Then, your other excuse is,

50
00:02:24,222 --> 00:02:28,784
"Yes, there are special people
who pursue their passions,

51
00:02:28,808 --> 00:02:30,142
but they are geniuses.

52
00:02:30,166 --> 00:02:31,720
They are Steven J.

53
00:02:31,744 --> 00:02:33,347
I'm not a genius.

54
00:02:33,371 --> 00:02:35,978
When I was five, I thought I was a genius,

55
00:02:36,002 --> 00:02:39,922
but my professors have beaten that idea
out of my head long since."

56
00:02:39,946 --> 00:02:41,301
(Laughter)

57
00:02:41,325 --> 00:02:45,817
"And now I know
I am completely competent."

58
00:02:45,841 --> 00:02:48,523
Now, you see, if this was 1950,

59
00:02:48,547 --> 00:02:51,563
being completely competent --

60
00:02:51,587 --> 00:02:53,629
that would have given you a great career.

61
00:02:53,653 --> 00:02:54,806
But guess what?

62
00:02:54,830 --> 00:02:58,551
This is almost 2012,
and saying to the world,

63
00:02:58,575 --> 00:03:01,890
"I am totally, completely competent,"

64
00:03:01,914 --> 00:03:05,995
is damning yourself
with the faintest of praise.

65
00:03:06,424 --> 00:03:08,392
And then, of course, another excuse:

66
00:03:08,416 --> 00:03:11,972
"Well, I would do this,
I would do this, but, but --

67
00:03:11,996 --> 00:03:15,503
well, after all, I'm not weird.

68
00:03:15,963 --> 00:03:18,653
Everybody knows that people
who pursue their passions

69
00:03:18,677 --> 00:03:20,080
are somewhat obsessive.

70
00:03:20,104 --> 00:03:21,573
A little strange.

71
00:03:21,597 --> 00:03:23,232
Hmm? Hmm? Okay?

72
00:03:23,256 --> 00:03:26,478
You know, a fine line
between madness and genius.

73
00:03:26,502 --> 00:03:30,787
"I'm not weird. I've read
Steven J.'s biography.

74
00:03:30,811 --> 00:03:34,670
Oh my goodness --
I'm not that person. I am nice.

75
00:03:34,694 --> 00:03:36,028
I am normal.

76
00:03:36,052 --> 00:03:39,850
I'm a nice, normal person,
and nice, normal people --

77
00:03:41,003 --> 00:03:42,550
don't have passion."

78
00:03:42,574 --> 00:03:43,598
(Laughter)

79
00:03:43,622 --> 00:03:46,123
"Ah, but I still want a great career.

80
00:03:46,147 --> 00:03:48,076
I'm not prepared to pursue my passion,

81
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:49,631
so I know what I'm going to do,

82
00:03:49,655 --> 00:03:51,519
because I have a solution.

83
00:03:51,543 --> 00:03:52,995
I have a strategy.

84
00:03:53,019 --> 00:03:55,433
It's the one Mommy
and Daddy told me about.

85
00:03:55,457 --> 00:03:58,512
Mommy and Daddy told me
that if I worked hard,

86
00:03:58,536 --> 00:04:00,290
I'd have a good career.

87
00:04:00,877 --> 00:04:03,615
So, if you work hard
and have a good career,

88
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:05,647
if you work really, really, really hard,

89
00:04:05,671 --> 00:04:06,992
you'll have a great career.

90
00:04:07,016 --> 00:04:09,432
Doesn't that, like,
mathematically make sense?"

91
00:04:09,456 --> 00:04:10,940
Hmm. Not.

92
00:04:10,964 --> 00:04:13,429
But you've managed
to talk yourself into that.

93
00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:15,529
You know what? Here's a little secret:

94
00:04:15,553 --> 00:04:18,623
You want to work? You want to work
really, really, really hard?

95
00:04:18,647 --> 00:04:20,100
You know what? You'll succeed.

96
00:04:20,124 --> 00:04:22,030
The world will give you the opportunity

97
00:04:22,054 --> 00:04:25,669
to work really, really,
really, really hard.

98
00:04:25,693 --> 00:04:28,633
But, are you so sure

99
00:04:28,657 --> 00:04:31,577
that that's going to give you
a great career,

100
00:04:31,601 --> 00:04:34,419
when all the evidence is to the contrary?

101
00:04:34,443 --> 00:04:39,946
So let's deal with those of you
who are trying to find your passion.

102
00:04:39,970 --> 00:04:42,643
You actually understand
that you really had better do it,

103
00:04:42,667 --> 00:04:43,993
never mind the excuses.

104
00:04:44,017 --> 00:04:46,005
You're trying to find your passion --

105
00:04:46,658 --> 00:04:47,659
(Sigh)

106
00:04:47,683 --> 00:04:49,063
and you're so happy.

107
00:04:49,842 --> 00:04:52,101
You found something you're interested in.

108
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:54,166
"I have an interest! I have an interest!"

109
00:04:54,190 --> 00:04:55,348
You tell me.

110
00:04:55,372 --> 00:04:58,395
You say, "I have an interest!"
I say, "That's wonderful!

111
00:04:58,419 --> 00:05:00,666
And what are you trying to tell me?"

112
00:05:00,690 --> 00:05:02,205
"Well, I have an interest."

113
00:05:02,229 --> 00:05:03,789
I say, "Do you have passion?"

114
00:05:03,813 --> 00:05:05,432
"I have an interest," you say.

115
00:05:06,022 --> 00:05:07,744
"Your interest is compared to what?"

116
00:05:07,768 --> 00:05:09,670
"Well, I'm interested in this."

117
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,977
"And what about the rest
of humanity's activities?"

118
00:05:14,001 --> 00:05:15,796
"I'm not interested in them."

119
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:17,923
"You've looked at them all, have you?"

120
00:05:17,947 --> 00:05:20,050
"No. Not exactly."

121
00:05:20,693 --> 00:05:22,732
Passion is your greatest love.

122
00:05:23,327 --> 00:05:25,581
Passion is the thing

123
00:05:25,605 --> 00:05:30,625
that will help you create
the highest expression of your talent.

124
00:05:30,649 --> 00:05:33,220
Passion, interest --
it's not the same thing.

125
00:05:33,244 --> 00:05:35,775
Are you really going to go
to your sweetie and say,

126
00:05:35,799 --> 00:05:38,658
"Marry me! You're interesting."

127
00:05:38,682 --> 00:05:41,792
(Laughter)

128
00:05:41,816 --> 00:05:43,752
Won't happen.

129
00:05:43,776 --> 00:05:45,870
Won't happen, and you will die alone.

130
00:05:45,894 --> 00:05:47,236
(Laughter)

131
00:05:47,260 --> 00:05:48,545
What you want,

132
00:05:48,569 --> 00:05:51,077
what you want, what you want,

133
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:52,489
is passion.

134
00:05:52,513 --> 00:05:54,323
It is beyond interest.

135
00:05:54,347 --> 00:05:57,973
You need 20 interests,
and then one of them,

136
00:05:57,997 --> 00:05:59,743
one of them might grab you,

137
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:02,347
one of them might engage you
more than anything else,

138
00:06:02,371 --> 00:06:04,965
and then you may have found
your greatest love,

139
00:06:04,989 --> 00:06:09,180
in comparison to all the other things
that interest you,

140
00:06:09,204 --> 00:06:10,921
and that's what passion is.

141
00:06:10,945 --> 00:06:13,976
I have a friend, proposed to his sweetie.

142
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,839
He was an economically rational person.

143
00:06:17,315 --> 00:06:19,909
He said to his sweetie, "Let us marry.

144
00:06:21,355 --> 00:06:23,601
Let us merge our interests."

145
00:06:23,625 --> 00:06:25,497
(Laughter)

146
00:06:25,521 --> 00:06:26,672
Yes, he did.

147
00:06:27,259 --> 00:06:30,990
"I love you truly," he said.
"I love you deeply.

148
00:06:31,014 --> 00:06:35,290
I love you more than any other woman
I've ever encountered.

149
00:06:35,314 --> 00:06:39,867
I love you more than Mary,
Jane, Susie, Penelope,

150
00:06:39,891 --> 00:06:41,907
Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel --

151
00:06:41,931 --> 00:06:44,383
I was on a German exchange program then.

152
00:06:44,407 --> 00:06:47,446
I love you more than --"

153
00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:49,019
All right.

154
00:06:49,043 --> 00:06:50,424
She left the room

155
00:06:50,448 --> 00:06:55,016
halfway through his enumeration
of his love for her.

156
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:59,952
After he got over his surprise
at being, you know, turned down,

157
00:06:59,976 --> 00:07:03,721
he concluded he'd had a narrow escape

158
00:07:03,745 --> 00:07:07,036
from marrying an irrational person.

159
00:07:07,512 --> 00:07:10,901
Although, he did make a note to himself
that the next time he proposed,

160
00:07:10,925 --> 00:07:12,584
it was perhaps not necessary

161
00:07:12,608 --> 00:07:17,767
to enumerate all of the women
he had auditioned for the part.

162
00:07:17,791 --> 00:07:19,882
(Laughter)

163
00:07:19,906 --> 00:07:21,346
But the point stands.

164
00:07:21,370 --> 00:07:25,011
You must look for alternatives
so that you find your destiny,

165
00:07:25,035 --> 00:07:27,670
or are you afraid of the word "destiny"?

166
00:07:27,694 --> 00:07:30,530
Does the word "destiny" scare you?

167
00:07:30,554 --> 00:07:32,116
That's what we're talking about.

168
00:07:32,140 --> 00:07:35,085
And if you don't find
the highest expression of your talent,

169
00:07:35,109 --> 00:07:38,283
if you settle for "interesting,"
what the hell ever that means,

170
00:07:38,307 --> 00:07:41,466
do you know what will happen
at the end of your long life?

171
00:07:41,490 --> 00:07:44,704
Your friends and family will be
gathered in the cemetery,

172
00:07:44,728 --> 00:07:48,220
and there beside your gravesite
will be a tombstone,

173
00:07:48,244 --> 00:07:49,846
and inscribed on that tombstone

174
00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:53,721
it will say, "Here lies
a distinguished engineer,

175
00:07:53,745 --> 00:07:55,545
who invented Velcro."

176
00:07:58,505 --> 00:08:02,474
But what that tombstone should have said,

177
00:08:02,498 --> 00:08:05,172
in an alternative lifetime,

178
00:08:05,196 --> 00:08:09,648
what it should have said if it was
your highest expression of talent,

179
00:08:09,672 --> 00:08:14,224
was, "Here lies the last
Nobel Laureate in Physics,

180
00:08:14,248 --> 00:08:17,589
who formulated
the Grand Unified Field Theory

181
00:08:17,613 --> 00:08:21,016
and demonstrated
the practicality of warp drive."

182
00:08:21,602 --> 00:08:23,781
(Laughter)

183
00:08:23,805 --> 00:08:25,552
Velcro, indeed!

184
00:08:25,576 --> 00:08:27,061
(Laughter)

185
00:08:28,686 --> 00:08:30,519
One was a great career.

186
00:08:31,694 --> 00:08:35,046
One was a missed opportunity.

187
00:08:35,652 --> 00:08:38,042
But then, there are some of you who,

188
00:08:38,066 --> 00:08:41,422
in spite of all these
excuses, you will find,

189
00:08:41,446 --> 00:08:43,461
you will find your passion.

190
00:08:44,997 --> 00:08:47,009
And you'll still fail.

191
00:08:48,176 --> 00:08:51,043
You're going to fail, because --

192
00:08:52,041 --> 00:08:54,619
because you're not going to do it,

193
00:08:54,643 --> 00:08:58,627
because you will have
invented a new excuse,

194
00:08:58,651 --> 00:09:02,428
any excuse to fail to take action,

195
00:09:02,452 --> 00:09:06,546
and this excuse, I've heard so many times:

196
00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:13,472
"Yes, I would pursue a great career,

197
00:09:13,496 --> 00:09:20,233
but, I value human relationships --

198
00:09:20,257 --> 00:09:21,258
(Laughter)

199
00:09:21,282 --> 00:09:22,790
more than accomplishment.

200
00:09:23,394 --> 00:09:25,752
I want to be a great friend.

201
00:09:25,776 --> 00:09:28,020
I want to be a great spouse.

202
00:09:28,044 --> 00:09:29,893
I want to be a great parent,

203
00:09:29,917 --> 00:09:32,036
and I will not sacrifice them

204
00:09:32,060 --> 00:09:35,050
on the altar of great accomplishment."

205
00:09:36,586 --> 00:09:37,703
(Laughter)

206
00:09:37,727 --> 00:09:39,227
What do you want me to say?

207
00:09:39,251 --> 00:09:42,013
Now, do you really want
me to say now, tell you,

208
00:09:42,037 --> 00:09:44,536
"Really, I swear I don't kick children."

209
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:46,513
(Laughter)

210
00:09:47,227 --> 00:09:49,989
Look at the worldview
you've given yourself.

211
00:09:50,013 --> 00:09:52,074
You're a hero no matter what.

212
00:09:53,420 --> 00:09:56,222
And I, by suggesting ever so delicately

213
00:09:56,246 --> 00:09:59,420
that you might want a great career,
must hate children.

214
00:09:59,444 --> 00:10:01,453
I don't hate children. I don't kick them.

215
00:10:01,477 --> 00:10:04,372
Yes, there was a little kid
wandering through this building

216
00:10:04,396 --> 00:10:06,820
when I came here, and no,
I didn't kick him.

217
00:10:06,844 --> 00:10:08,287
(Laughter)

218
00:10:08,311 --> 00:10:11,423
Course, I had to tell him
the building was for adults only,

219
00:10:11,447 --> 00:10:13,049
and to get out.

220
00:10:13,073 --> 00:10:14,969
He mumbled something about his mother,

221
00:10:14,993 --> 00:10:18,517
and I told him she'd probably
find him outside anyway.

222
00:10:18,541 --> 00:10:21,225
Last time I saw him,
he was on the stairs crying.

223
00:10:21,249 --> 00:10:22,337
(Laughter)

224
00:10:22,361 --> 00:10:23,518
What a wimp.

225
00:10:23,542 --> 00:10:24,549
(Laughter)

226
00:10:24,573 --> 00:10:27,165
But what do you mean?
That's what you expect me to say.

227
00:10:27,189 --> 00:10:29,166
Do you really think it's appropriate

228
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:35,803
that you should actually take
children and use them as a shield?

229
00:10:35,827 --> 00:10:38,041
You know what will happen someday,

230
00:10:38,065 --> 00:10:41,064
you ideal parent, you?

231
00:10:42,071 --> 00:10:45,088
The kid will come to you someday and say,

232
00:10:45,112 --> 00:10:47,524
"I know what I want to be.

233
00:10:47,548 --> 00:10:49,563
I know what I'm going to do with my life."

234
00:10:49,587 --> 00:10:50,762
You are so happy.

235
00:10:50,786 --> 00:10:53,008
It's the conversation
a parent wants to hear,

236
00:10:53,032 --> 00:10:54,889
because your kid's good in math,

237
00:10:54,913 --> 00:10:57,706
and you know you're going to like
what comes next.

238
00:10:57,730 --> 00:10:59,188
Says your kid,

239
00:10:59,212 --> 00:11:02,615
"I have decided I want to be a magician.

240
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:05,760
I want to perform
magic tricks on the stage."

241
00:11:07,322 --> 00:11:08,759
(Laughter)

242
00:11:08,783 --> 00:11:10,347
And what do you say?

243
00:11:11,156 --> 00:11:13,631
You say, you say,

244
00:11:13,655 --> 00:11:16,978
"That's risky, kid.

245
00:11:17,002 --> 00:11:19,801
Might fail, kid. Don't make
a lot of money at that, kid.

246
00:11:19,825 --> 00:11:22,793
I don't know, kid, you should
think about that again, kid.

247
00:11:22,817 --> 00:11:24,792
You're so good at math, why don't you --"

248
00:11:24,816 --> 00:11:26,350
The kid interrupts you and says,

249
00:11:26,374 --> 00:11:29,722
"But it is my dream.
It is my dream to do this."

250
00:11:30,286 --> 00:11:32,311
And what are you going to say?

251
00:11:32,335 --> 00:11:33,977
You know what you're going to say?

252
00:11:34,001 --> 00:11:36,507
"Look kid. I had a dream once, too, but --

253
00:11:38,595 --> 00:11:39,769
But --"

254
00:11:39,793 --> 00:11:42,693
So how are you going to finish
the sentence with your "but"?

255
00:11:42,717 --> 00:11:47,998
"But. I had a dream too, once,
kid, but I was afraid to pursue it."

256
00:11:48,781 --> 00:11:51,360
Or are you going to tell him this:

257
00:11:51,384 --> 00:11:53,036
"I had a dream once, kid.

258
00:11:55,161 --> 00:11:56,703
But then, you were born."

259
00:11:56,727 --> 00:11:59,037
(Laughter)

260
00:11:59,061 --> 00:12:01,703
(Applause)

261
00:12:01,727 --> 00:12:06,774
Do you really want to use your family,

262
00:12:06,798 --> 00:12:11,345
do you really ever want to look
at your spouse and your kid,

263
00:12:11,369 --> 00:12:12,918
and see your jailers?

264
00:12:14,601 --> 00:12:18,212
There was something
you could have said to your kid,

265
00:12:18,236 --> 00:12:20,926
when he or she said, "I have a dream."

266
00:12:22,012 --> 00:12:23,948
You could have said --

267
00:12:23,972 --> 00:12:27,993
looked the kid in the face and said,

268
00:12:28,017 --> 00:12:29,799
"Go for it, kid!

269
00:12:31,162 --> 00:12:32,866
Just like I did."

270
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:37,151
But you won't be able to say that,

271
00:12:37,175 --> 00:12:38,833
because you didn't.

272
00:12:38,857 --> 00:12:40,432
So you can't.

273
00:12:40,456 --> 00:12:42,421
(Laughter)

274
00:12:45,086 --> 00:12:48,253
And so the sins of the parents

275
00:12:48,277 --> 00:12:50,404
are visited on the poor children.

276
00:12:52,277 --> 00:12:57,800
Why will you seek refuge
in human relationships

277
00:12:57,824 --> 00:13:03,753
as your excuse not to find
and pursue your passion?

278
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:05,815
You know why.

279
00:13:06,363 --> 00:13:08,879
In your heart of hearts, you know why,

280
00:13:08,903 --> 00:13:11,125
and I'm being deadly serious.

281
00:13:11,149 --> 00:13:13,837
You know why you would get
all warm and fuzzy

282
00:13:13,861 --> 00:13:16,756
and wrap yourself
up in human relationships.

283
00:13:17,543 --> 00:13:19,527
It is because you are --

284
00:13:20,969 --> 00:13:22,302
you know what you are.

285
00:13:22,761 --> 00:13:25,702
You're afraid to pursue your passion.

286
00:13:26,180 --> 00:13:28,212
You're afraid to look ridiculous.

287
00:13:28,236 --> 00:13:29,744
You're afraid to try.

288
00:13:29,768 --> 00:13:31,575
You're afraid you may fail.

289
00:13:35,043 --> 00:13:41,218
Great friend, great spouse,
great parent, great career.

290
00:13:42,083 --> 00:13:45,232
Is that not a package?
Is that not who you are?

291
00:13:46,253 --> 00:13:48,122
How can you be one without the other?

292
00:13:49,412 --> 00:13:51,031
But you're afraid.

293
00:13:52,166 --> 00:13:57,020
And that's why you're not
going to have a great career.

294
00:13:59,401 --> 00:14:01,768
Unless --

295
00:14:01,792 --> 00:14:06,979
"unless," that most evocative
of all English words --

296
00:14:07,003 --> 00:14:08,466
"unless."

297
00:14:09,371 --> 00:14:13,804
But the "unless" word is also attached

298
00:14:13,828 --> 00:14:18,780
to that other, most terrifying phrase,

299
00:14:18,804 --> 00:14:20,693
"If only I had ..."

300
00:14:21,463 --> 00:14:24,167
"If only I had ..."

301
00:14:24,191 --> 00:14:29,437
If you ever have that thought
ricocheting in your brain,

302
00:14:29,461 --> 00:14:31,818
it will hurt a lot.

303
00:14:33,007 --> 00:14:35,635
So, those are the many reasons

304
00:14:35,659 --> 00:14:37,635
why you are going to fail

305
00:14:37,659 --> 00:14:39,301
to have a great career.

306
00:14:41,198 --> 00:14:42,590
Unless --

307
00:14:46,698 --> 00:14:47,857
Unless.

308
00:14:49,912 --> 00:14:51,064
Thank you.

309
00:14:51,088 --> 00:14:54,025
(Applause)
