9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The Silicon Valley and the internet[br]gave me superpowers. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Tools to go to battle with, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 a suit to take bullets with 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and a giant signal in the sky[br]that told me when it was time to fight. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now, I can't actually prove any of this. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I am not "scientist," 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I don't have "facts." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In fact, my Rotten Tomato score[br]is running around 50 percent right now, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I'm not sure why they let me in. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But if we're talking about[br]colliding with a power 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that's bigger than us, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 then I'm in the right place, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because this last year, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I had an interesting year with a movie[br]called "Crazy Rich Asians" that I did -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause and cheers) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thank you. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And if we're talking about connection[br]specifically today, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 then I know my story is only possible 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because of a collection of connections[br]that happened throughout my life, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so hopefully by telling[br]a little bit of my story, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it will help someone else find their path[br]a little sooner than I did. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 My story begins when I opened[br]the holy book for the first time ... 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the holy book of gadgets, of course, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 "Sharper Image." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Yes, those who know. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was a magical magazine of dreams 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and had things in there that you knew[br]could not possibly exist, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but it was right there -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you could order it -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 come in the mail. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And some things that probably[br]should have never existed, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 like "Gregory," a lifelike,[br]portable mannequin 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who deters crime by his strong,[br]masculine appearance. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is a real thing, by the way. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But my eyes were set[br]on the Video Edit Sima II. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was so cool at the age of 10. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 You could connect[br]all your VHS players together 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and cut something together, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I called my parents[br]and convinced them to buy this for me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But before I get into that, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 let me give you a little rundown[br]about my parents. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They came to the United States[br]when they were young, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they're from Taiwan in China 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and they settled[br]in Los Altos, California -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the Silicon Valley[br]before the Silicon Valley -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and they started a restaurant[br]called Chef Chu's. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 50 years later, today, they still[br]work at the restaurant, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they're still there, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I grew up there. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And it was great. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Talk about connection -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 this place was a hub of connection. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 People coming there to celebrate[br]birthdays, anniversaries, business deals, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 eating, drinking -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 connection, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I got to grow up in that environment. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And my parents always said, "America[br]is the greatest place in the world." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 If you love anything, you can work hard[br]and accomplish anything you want. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So, they raised five all-American kids. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I am the youngest -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you can see I'm the one[br]with the eyes closed there -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and they named actually my sister and I,[br]Jennifer and Jonathan, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 after Jennifer and Jonathan Hart[br]from that TV show "Hart to Hart." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So that's how much[br]they loved America, apparently. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And they thought[br]that we were The Kennedys -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 my mom specifically -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so she dressed us up[br]all the time like each other 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and she put us in etiquette classes, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 ballroom dance classes, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 made sure that we had[br]the right dental plan -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is a real picture of me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That is not fake. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thank God for that one. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I was in charge of the video camera[br]every time we went on vacations, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I would collect all these videos[br]and nothing to do with it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thus, the Sima Video Edit 2. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I convinced them to get it for me, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I spent all night trying to wrangle 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all the VCRs from my brother's[br]and sister's room, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 tangled in wires, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and now I had something to show them. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I brought them[br]into the living room one night, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it was probably 1991, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 somewhere around there, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I sit them down in the living room, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 my heart was pounding, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 my breaths were deep -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 sort of like right now -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I pressed play 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and something extraordinary[br]happened actually. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They cried. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And cried. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They cried not because it was[br]the most amazing home video edit ever, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 although it was pretty good, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but because they saw our family[br]as a normal family that fit in 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and belonged on the screen[br]in front of them, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 just like the movies that they worshipped[br]and the TV shows that they named us after. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I remember as the youngest[br]of these five kids 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 feeling heard for the first time. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 There was this place where[br]all these things in my head 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 could go into the great, electric[br]somewhere-out-there 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and exist in escape, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I knew from this moment on, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I wanted to do this[br]for the rest of my life, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 whether I was going[br]to get paid for it or not. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And so I had this passion[br]and now I needed some tools, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and my dad went to work. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 He continued to brag[br]about my home video editing skills 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to the customers at Chef Chu's, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and luckily this is the Silicon Valley, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so they're working on stuff, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 hardware and software -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 these are all engineers -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and they offered to give me things[br]for digital video editing. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 This is like the mid-'90s, early '90's, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 where this stuff didn't exist[br]for kids like me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I'd get these beta software[br]and hardware from places like HP and Sun 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and Russel Brown at Adobe. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I had no manual, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so I'd figure it out and I fell in love[br]with it even more. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I went to USC School of Cinematic Arts[br]and started to go there, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and my mom and dad would always[br]call me randomly and remind me 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that I've got to do movies about[br]my Chinese heritage. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 That China was going to be a huge[br]market for movies one day -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I was like, "Yeah right, guys" -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Always listen to your parents. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I wanted to be Zemeckis,[br]Lucas and Spielberg. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The last thing I wanted to talk about[br]was my own cultural identity, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 my ethnicity. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And honestly, I had[br]no one else to talk -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 there was no one at school[br]that I could really open up to, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and even if I did, like,[br]what would I say? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I ignored it[br]and I moved on with my life. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Cut to 15 years later, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I made it in Hollywood. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I got discovered by Spielberg, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I worked with the Rock and Bruce Willis, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Justin Bieber -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I even came to the TED stage to present[br]my dance company LXD, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it was great. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And then a couple years ago, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I felt a little bit lost, creatively. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The engine was going down a little bit 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I got a sign -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I heard from voices from the sky -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 or more it was like, birds. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 OK, fine, it was Twitter. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And Twitter -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It was Constance Wu on Twitter, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it was Daniel Dae Kim, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it was Jenny Yang, who's here today, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it was Alan Yang -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all of these people who were writing[br]their frustrations 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 with representation in Hollywood. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And it really it me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I thought these things[br]but never really registered -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I was really focused on -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I felt lucky to be working, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and then I realized -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Yeah, what is wrong with Hollywood? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Why aren't they doing this? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And then I looked at myself in the mirror[br]and realized I am Hollywood. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I literally -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I popped my collar before I came out here, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that's how Hollywood I am. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Is it still up? Still up? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And for all these years I felt[br]like I had been given so much, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and what was I giving back to the film[br]business that I loved? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And I felt lucky to be here, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but at this moment, I realized[br]that I was not just lucky to be here, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I had the right to be here. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 No, I earned the right to be here. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All those sleepless nights, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all those parties I missed on Fridays, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 every friend and girlfriend I lost[br]because I was editing -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I earned the right to be here not just[br]to have a voice but to say something, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and say something important, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I had, actually, the power -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the superpower to change things[br]if I really, really wanted to. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All those -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you know, when you try[br]to tell stories about yourself 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and people who look like you[br]and look like your familiy, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it can be scary, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and all those feelings[br]of being alone came back. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But the internet is what told me -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 sent the sign that there was going[br]to be a whole army waiting for me 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to support me and to love me for it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And so I found Kevin Kwan's amazing[br]novel, "Crazy Rich Asians" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and we went to work. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 We put this movie together. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All-Asian cast -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the first all-Asian cast in 25 years[br]with a contemporary story -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When we started it was not[br]a guarantee at all. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 There was no comp for this kind of movie. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Every time we did surveys and stuff, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 the audiences weren't going to show up. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In fact, even in our test screenings[br]where you give free tickets to people 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to watch your movie, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we had a one to 25 ratio, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 meaning after 25 asked, only one[br]person said yes, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is super low[br]for these types of things. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Asian people who knew the book[br]didn't trust Hollywood at all, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Asian people who didn't know the book[br]thought the title was offensive, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and other people who weren't Asian[br]just didn't think it was for them. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So we were pretty screwed. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Luckily, Warner Brothers didn't[br]turn away from us. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 But then the electric[br]somewhere struck again. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And this army of Asian-American[br]writers, reporters, bloggers 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 who over the years had worked their way up[br]through their respective publications, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 went to work, unbeknownst to me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And they started to post things. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Also, some tech founders out here[br]started to post stuff on social media, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 write stuff about us in articles[br]in the "LA Times," 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in "The Hollywood Reporter"[br]and "Entertainment Weekly." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Grassroots uprising of making[br]ourselves news. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 One amazing thing to witness. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And the swell of support[br]turned into this conversation online 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 between all these Asian Americans[br]where we could actually debate and discuss 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what stories we wanted to tell, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which stories should be told or not, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what kind of -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 are we allowed to make fun of ourselves? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What about casting? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 What are we allowed to do? 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And we didn't agree -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and we still don't, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but that wasn't the point. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 The point was the conversation[br]was happening. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And this conversation stream[br]became an infrastructure. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It took all these different groups[br]who were trying to achieve the same thing 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and put it all together[br]in this connective tissue. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And again, not perfect, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but the start of how we determine[br]our own representation on the big screen. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It became more physical[br]when I went to the movie theater. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I'll never forget going opening weekend, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I went into the theater, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it's not just Asians -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all types of people -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and I go in and sit down, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and people laughed, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 people cried, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and when I went into the lobby, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 people stayed. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's like they didn't want to leave. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 They just hugged each other, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 high-fived each other, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 took selfies, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they debated it, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 they laughed about it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All these different things. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I had such an intimate[br]relationship with this movie, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but I didn't understand[br]when we were making it, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 what we were making[br]until it was happening, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 that it was the same thing that my parents[br]felt when we watched our family videos 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 in our living room that day. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Seeing ourselves on the screen[br]has a power to it, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and the only way I can[br]describe it is pride. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I have always understood[br]this word intellectually -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I've probably talked about this word, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but to actually feel pride -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and those of you who have felt it know -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it's like you just want to like,[br]touch everybody and grab and run around. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's like a very -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I can't explain -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 it's a very physical feeling, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 all because of a long[br]pattern of connection. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Film was a gift given to me, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and through the years[br]I've learned a lot of things. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 You can plan, you can write scripts,[br]you can do your story boards, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but at a certain point, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 your movie will speak back to you, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it's your job to listen. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 It's this living organism[br]and it sort of presents itself, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 so you better catch it before[br]it slips through your hands, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and that's the most exciting part[br]about making movies. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 When I look at life, it's not[br]that different actually. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I've been led through these sort of[br]breadcrumbs of connections 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through people, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through circumstances, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 through luck. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And it changed when I realized[br]that once you start listening 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 to the silent beats and the messy[br]noises around you, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you realize that there's this beautiful[br]symphony already written for you. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 A direct line to your destiny. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Your superpower. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Now, film was a gift given to me, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 sort of spurned on my parents[br]and supported by my community. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I got to be who I wanted to be[br]when I needed to be it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 My mom posted something[br]on Facebook the other day 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which is usually really bad[br]things to say out loud -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 scary, she should not[br]have a Facebook, but -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Laughter) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 she posted this thing, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it was a meme, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 you know, one of those funny things, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and it said, "You can't change[br]someone who doesn't want to change, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but never underestimate[br]the power of planting a seed." 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 And as I was doing the finishing[br]touches on this talk, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 I realized that all the powerful[br]connections in my life 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 were through generosity and kindness[br]and love and hope. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So when I think about my movies[br]"Crazy Rich Asians" and "In the Heights" 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 which I'm working on right now -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause and cheers) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 yes, it's a good one. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 All I want to do is show joy[br]and hope in them, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because I refuse to believe[br]that our best days are behind us, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 but in fact, around the corner. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Because you see love -- 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 love is the superpower[br]that was given to me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Love is the superpower[br]that was passed onto me. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Love is the only thing that can stop[br]a speeding bullet 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 before it even exits the chamber. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Love is the only thing that can[br]leap over a building 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and have a whole community[br]look up into the sky, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 join hands, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and have the courage to face something[br]that's impossibly bigger than themselves. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 So I have a challenge for myself[br]and for anyone here. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 As you're working on your thing, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 on your company, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and you're forging this thing into life, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 and you're making the impossible possible, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 let's just not forget[br]to be kind to each other, 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 because I believe that is the most[br]powerful form of connection 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 we can give to this planet. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 In fact, our future depends on it. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thank you. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause and cheers) 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 Thank you. 9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000 (Applause)
