WEBVTT 00:00:14.718 --> 00:00:16.045 A few years ago, 00:00:16.045 --> 00:00:19.010 I ran into a colleague I hadn't seen for a long time, 00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:22.555 who said, "What are you working on now?" 00:00:22.555 --> 00:00:25.010 And I said - I was in that kind of mood - 00:00:25.010 --> 00:00:28.349 I said, "Oh, making the world a better place." 00:00:28.349 --> 00:00:32.092 And he said, "Could you pin that down just a little bit?" 00:00:32.092 --> 00:00:34.884 Well, I realized that what I actually do 00:00:34.884 --> 00:00:40.132 is I try to provide other people tools for making the world a better place 00:00:40.402 --> 00:00:43.727 by giving them leadership skills. 00:00:43.727 --> 00:00:45.642 So what's your goal? 00:00:45.942 --> 00:00:50.569 Do you simply want to get things done and maybe improve them a little? 00:00:50.569 --> 00:00:53.774 Do you want to start something, maybe a social venture? 00:00:53.774 --> 00:00:55.836 You can be any age to do that. 00:00:55.836 --> 00:00:59.512 I was amazed when Katie of Katie's Krops 00:00:59.512 --> 00:01:02.468 got an award from President Bill Clinton 00:01:02.468 --> 00:01:06.252 for a venture she started to feed the homeless 00:01:06.252 --> 00:01:08.896 when she was nine years old. 00:01:08.896 --> 00:01:10.477 So anybody can start something. 00:01:10.547 --> 00:01:12.216 Do you want to start something? 00:01:12.296 --> 00:01:13.736 Do you want to grow something? 00:01:13.736 --> 00:01:17.135 Do you want to start a business? Do you want to lead a big business? 00:01:17.135 --> 00:01:20.644 Or do you just want to make the world a better place? 00:01:20.644 --> 00:01:24.679 The leadership lessons for being effective at doing that 00:01:24.679 --> 00:01:26.498 are things that I have learned 00:01:26.498 --> 00:01:30.650 from working with tens of thousands of leaders 00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:34.340 in dozens and dozens of countries all over the world, 00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:39.829 and I'd like to boil them down to six positive things 00:01:40.169 --> 00:01:45.343 that help us keep things moving up 00:01:45.343 --> 00:01:49.257 or in a positive direction of progress. 00:01:49.257 --> 00:01:52.549 The first is the universal lesson of life, 00:01:52.549 --> 00:01:54.714 which is show up. 00:01:54.974 --> 00:01:58.143 If you don't show up, nothing really happens. 00:01:58.143 --> 00:02:03.045 I remember a Peter Sellers' movie of a number of years ago 00:02:03.045 --> 00:02:05.017 called "Being There." 00:02:05.017 --> 00:02:06.868 And it was a very instructive story 00:02:06.868 --> 00:02:11.905 because Peter Sellers played a fairly ignorant man, 00:02:11.905 --> 00:02:14.319 Chance, the gardener. 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.332 And he was just hanging around the place where he did gardening 00:02:18.332 --> 00:02:21.642 when a very important meeting was about to take place. 00:02:21.642 --> 00:02:24.557 As people arrived for the meeting, 00:02:24.557 --> 00:02:28.365 they didn't know that he was only helping at the house, 00:02:28.365 --> 00:02:29.721 so they said, "Who are you?" 00:02:29.721 --> 00:02:31.768 and he said, "Chance the gardener." 00:02:31.768 --> 00:02:36.077 And immediately, people misunderstood and called him Chauncey Gardiner, 00:02:36.077 --> 00:02:38.046 invited him into the meeting, 00:02:38.046 --> 00:02:40.893 and he ended up solving their problems. 00:02:40.893 --> 00:02:45.335 Well, it was a comedy, but I thought how real that is. 00:02:45.335 --> 00:02:48.729 The very fact of showing up, of making oneself available, 00:02:48.729 --> 00:02:52.674 of deciding that your presence makes a difference, 00:02:52.674 --> 00:02:54.878 is the first key to leadership. 00:02:54.878 --> 00:02:59.114 And I think about President Barack Obama of the United States. 00:02:59.114 --> 00:03:00.763 He's been reelected, 00:03:00.763 --> 00:03:04.212 but he started out, basically, by showing up. 00:03:04.212 --> 00:03:08.936 He was a fairly obscure state senator from the State of Illinois 00:03:08.936 --> 00:03:13.974 when asked to give the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. 00:03:13.974 --> 00:03:18.697 He showed up, he gave the speech, and the rest is history. 00:03:19.017 --> 00:03:22.736 Being there makes a difference, but that's only the starting point, 00:03:22.736 --> 00:03:24.598 that you're in the situation. 00:03:24.598 --> 00:03:29.641 The second lesson that I've learned is that it's important to speak up, 00:03:29.641 --> 00:03:32.863 to use the power of voice. 00:03:32.863 --> 00:03:35.591 No one knows what we're thinking if we don't express it. 00:03:35.591 --> 00:03:39.574 I say this to my students at Harvard Business School all the time 00:03:39.574 --> 00:03:43.003 because people get graded on class participation, 00:03:43.003 --> 00:03:45.051 and you know, there are some people 00:03:45.051 --> 00:03:49.058 who think they're entitled to have all the air time, 00:03:49.058 --> 00:03:52.797 and so they often just talk and continue to talk 00:03:52.797 --> 00:03:56.266 until finally they hit upon something they really have to say. 00:03:56.266 --> 00:03:57.538 (Laughter) 00:03:57.538 --> 00:04:00.905 But there are others in the class, 00:04:00.905 --> 00:04:03.843 and sometimes it's the women that I have to encourage, 00:04:03.843 --> 00:04:06.534 that they can own that air space too. 00:04:06.534 --> 00:04:08.860 Sometimes I'll say, "Why aren't you speaking?" 00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:13.934 And they said, "I want to make sure that I really have something to say." 00:04:13.934 --> 00:04:17.417 And I point out to them that the men didn't feel that way - 00:04:17.417 --> 00:04:20.478 just do it, just talk. 00:04:20.478 --> 00:04:24.195 However, the power of voice is not simply words. 00:04:24.195 --> 00:04:27.631 The power of voice is shaping the agenda, 00:04:27.631 --> 00:04:29.714 framing issues for other people, 00:04:29.714 --> 00:04:33.356 helping them think about it in a different way. 00:04:33.356 --> 00:04:36.215 This is why thought leaders can be leaders, 00:04:36.215 --> 00:04:38.983 because they influence the thinking of other people. 00:04:38.983 --> 00:04:40.596 Have you gone to meetings 00:04:40.596 --> 00:04:44.146 where you've noticed that whoever is running the meeting, 00:04:44.146 --> 00:04:47.157 the person who ends up as the most influential, 00:04:47.157 --> 00:04:53.291 is the one who names the problem and gives people an idea for action, 00:04:53.291 --> 00:04:57.134 and that gets things moving, that gets things started. 00:04:57.134 --> 00:05:02.684 I think about a Brazilian I know whom I think the world of. 00:05:02.684 --> 00:05:06.679 He's a journalist, and yet as a journalist, 00:05:06.679 --> 00:05:08.241 he has managed - 00:05:08.241 --> 00:05:09.804 through his columns 00:05:09.804 --> 00:05:14.217 but also through suggesting to other people 00:05:14.487 --> 00:05:15.951 actions that they could take - 00:05:15.951 --> 00:05:20.923 he has managed to transform an entire neighborhood in Brazil 00:05:20.923 --> 00:05:25.018 into what he calls "the learning neighborhood," 00:05:25.018 --> 00:05:28.485 where kids now not only learn in school, 00:05:28.485 --> 00:05:32.508 the entire neighborhood is mobilized to help them learn. 00:05:32.508 --> 00:05:34.657 And that learning neighborhood 00:05:34.657 --> 00:05:40.095 has helped make this section of São Paulo considered an upscale section. 00:05:40.095 --> 00:05:43.475 I just saw it in an airline magazine, so it must be true. 00:05:43.475 --> 00:05:44.521 (Laughter) 00:05:44.521 --> 00:05:47.224 But my journalist friend 00:05:47.224 --> 00:05:51.287 did this entirely through encouraging many separate people. 00:05:51.287 --> 00:05:54.397 He didn't have power; he was just a writer. 00:05:54.397 --> 00:05:55.874 He is just a writer. 00:05:55.874 --> 00:05:58.862 What he did was encourage many different people 00:05:58.862 --> 00:06:00.870 through the power of his voice: 00:06:00.870 --> 00:06:03.025 "Why don't you do this? Why don't you do that? 00:06:03.025 --> 00:06:05.570 We have a problem. Let's fix education." 00:06:05.570 --> 00:06:07.282 The power of voice is big, 00:06:07.282 --> 00:06:09.953 and I'm thinking about another journalist I know, 00:06:09.953 --> 00:06:13.120 using the power of voice in a very powerful way. 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:14.459 It's Ellen Goodman, 00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:18.148 whom many people know, in the United States in particular, 00:06:18.148 --> 00:06:21.175 as a former syndicated columnist, 00:06:21.175 --> 00:06:24.899 who went through some things with her own family 00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:31.347 and decided that it's time to have end-of-life conversations. 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:35.839 And as an individual using her power of voice, 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.647 she has created something called the Conversation Project, 00:06:39.647 --> 00:06:43.554 which now has as a media partner ABC, 00:06:43.554 --> 00:06:45.624 and they are spreading the idea 00:06:45.624 --> 00:06:49.775 that one should just talk about preferences for end of life 00:06:49.775 --> 00:06:54.567 so that people can have a humane ending of the kind they want. 00:06:54.567 --> 00:06:57.349 But it's entirely the power of voice. 00:06:57.349 --> 00:07:00.642 So speaking up is the second attribute of leadership. 00:07:00.642 --> 00:07:03.184 The third is to look up. 00:07:03.184 --> 00:07:07.261 Look up at some higher principle, 00:07:07.261 --> 00:07:09.990 bigger issue, bigger vision, 00:07:09.990 --> 00:07:11.339 values. 00:07:11.669 --> 00:07:15.648 Without vision and values, leadership is hollow. 00:07:15.648 --> 00:07:18.070 No matter what it is that you want to achieve, 00:07:18.070 --> 00:07:21.511 it's always important to remember the principles. 00:07:21.511 --> 00:07:23.953 And when I say "higher principles" and "looking up," 00:07:23.953 --> 00:07:26.471 I'm not thinking about spiritual matters, 00:07:26.471 --> 00:07:29.209 but for some people, they would take it that way. 00:07:29.209 --> 00:07:32.909 I'm simply thinking about how important it is 00:07:32.909 --> 00:07:36.532 for any leader to know what they stand for 00:07:36.532 --> 00:07:42.233 and to be able to elevate people's eyes from everyday problems, 00:07:42.233 --> 00:07:44.652 which bog us down, 00:07:44.652 --> 00:07:46.062 in the weeds, 00:07:46.062 --> 00:07:47.590 difficult to deal with. 00:07:47.590 --> 00:07:51.121 And we're in troubled times now, in the world, 00:07:51.121 --> 00:07:55.762 and what we need is leaders who help us get above that, 00:07:55.762 --> 00:07:58.505 to gain a sense of hope 00:07:58.895 --> 00:08:03.819 but also to remember what's truly fundamental in our values, 00:08:03.819 --> 00:08:05.237 and the best leaders do that. 00:08:05.237 --> 00:08:08.719 In fact, one of my most recent books is about great companies. 00:08:08.719 --> 00:08:10.748 I realize I say that advisedly, 00:08:10.748 --> 00:08:14.024 that many people wonder if there are any great companies. 00:08:14.024 --> 00:08:16.396 But there are some truly great companies: 00:08:16.396 --> 00:08:18.627 IBM, for example, Procter & Gamble, 00:08:18.627 --> 00:08:21.140 a bank in Brazil, a bank in Korea - 00:08:21.140 --> 00:08:23.610 amazing that there can be good banks - 00:08:23.610 --> 00:08:25.607 companies that I've seen all over the world 00:08:25.607 --> 00:08:27.819 that stand for vision and values. 00:08:27.819 --> 00:08:30.138 When their leaders lead, 00:08:30.138 --> 00:08:35.855 they're constantly reminding people of a nobler purpose. 00:08:35.855 --> 00:08:37.270 It isn't just making money; 00:08:37.270 --> 00:08:39.610 we're trying to achieve something for the world. 00:08:39.610 --> 00:08:42.308 That's what we get from looking up. 00:08:42.308 --> 00:08:47.057 I've learned this in my own work in a project I manage at Harvard. 00:08:47.057 --> 00:08:49.183 We can get bogged down in the details - 00:08:49.183 --> 00:08:52.249 believe me, academic politics aren't fun. 00:08:52.249 --> 00:08:54.971 There are always things that we have to work on. 00:08:54.971 --> 00:08:57.540 It can really drag you down. 00:08:57.540 --> 00:08:59.250 And a wise person, 00:08:59.250 --> 00:09:02.838 who was one of the first people to work on this project with me, 00:09:02.838 --> 00:09:05.185 said, "You know, we should remember 00:09:05.185 --> 00:09:10.762 to start every meeting by reminding ourselves of our mission, 00:09:10.762 --> 00:09:13.724 reminding ourselves of what we stand for." 00:09:13.724 --> 00:09:17.639 And you know, that lifts the spirits like nothing else. 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.978 There's a purpose; there's a reason that we're doing this, 00:09:21.978 --> 00:09:26.462 and that's going to stand us in good stead when I get a few skills down. 00:09:26.462 --> 00:09:28.257 But the fourth skill - 00:09:28.257 --> 00:09:31.505 and why vision and values matter, in part - 00:09:31.505 --> 00:09:33.861 the fourth skill is team up. NOTE Paragraph 00:09:34.511 --> 00:09:35.927 Team up. 00:09:36.217 --> 00:09:39.458 Everything goes better with partners. 00:09:39.898 --> 00:09:44.293 Nearly anything worth doing is very difficult to do alone, 00:09:44.663 --> 00:09:49.548 and the best enterprises, the best projects, the best ventures 00:09:49.548 --> 00:09:54.761 are one where there's a sense of partnership from the beginning. 00:09:54.761 --> 00:09:59.161 I did a study with a colleague about technology start-ups, 00:09:59.161 --> 00:10:01.061 some of them very famous, 00:10:01.061 --> 00:10:06.474 and in recent years, which ones came to dominant the industry? 00:10:06.474 --> 00:10:09.652 Like Google in search, not AltaVista. 00:10:09.772 --> 00:10:12.619 Like Facebook rather than Myspace. 00:10:12.619 --> 00:10:14.945 And one of the things we discovered, 00:10:14.945 --> 00:10:18.017 besides having a good value proposition, 00:10:18.017 --> 00:10:23.148 was that they had more and better partners faster. 00:10:23.148 --> 00:10:24.678 Partners matter. 00:10:24.678 --> 00:10:28.431 For the best social enterprises that I see around the world 00:10:28.431 --> 00:10:30.311 including one I'm very proud of - 00:10:30.311 --> 00:10:33.678 I happen to be on the national board of this forever. 00:10:33.678 --> 00:10:37.546 It's an international national service organization 00:10:37.546 --> 00:10:39.174 called City Year. 00:10:39.174 --> 00:10:42.999 And City Year was founded by four partners. 00:10:42.999 --> 00:10:46.965 Two of the co-founders continue to build it and grow it, 00:10:46.965 --> 00:10:50.380 and there was a sense of teaming from the beginning. 00:10:50.380 --> 00:10:54.055 Finding partners who believe is essential. 00:10:54.055 --> 00:10:56.254 And when you find partners, 00:10:56.624 --> 00:10:59.552 then you can do incredible things in the world. 00:10:59.552 --> 00:11:02.369 Here's something that many people may not know 00:11:02.369 --> 00:11:05.977 about Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. 00:11:06.447 --> 00:11:10.581 Hillary Clinton is very interested in solving problems of the world 00:11:10.581 --> 00:11:13.679 from her position at the State Department, 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.930 which has development, social progress on its agenda 00:11:18.930 --> 00:11:21.549 and not only international diplomacy. 00:11:21.549 --> 00:11:25.393 But she sees development as a part of diplomacy, 00:11:25.393 --> 00:11:30.083 and she also wants to solve problems that disproportionately affect women. 00:11:30.083 --> 00:11:32.330 And there's been a problem in the world, 00:11:32.330 --> 00:11:34.391 known for a long time. 00:11:34.391 --> 00:11:39.715 It's the problem of women cooking on open fires. 00:11:40.365 --> 00:11:45.206 In fact, more women die from cooking on open fires 00:11:45.206 --> 00:11:49.098 than from major diseases in the developing world. 00:11:49.098 --> 00:11:50.816 That was something I didn't know 00:11:50.816 --> 00:11:54.015 until I learned about the Clean Cookstove Project. 00:11:54.015 --> 00:11:58.159 So Secretary Clinton and her office of global partnerships 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.459 picked this up and created a massive teaming up 00:12:02.459 --> 00:12:07.218 of governments and businesses and NGOs all over the world, 00:12:07.218 --> 00:12:09.012 and finally, 00:12:09.012 --> 00:12:12.428 the Alliance for Clean Cookstoves is beginning to make progress 00:12:12.428 --> 00:12:16.897 in building an industry in which households, women, 00:12:16.897 --> 00:12:20.154 can have affordable access to clean cookstoves, 00:12:20.154 --> 00:12:23.710 which means, by the way, no air pollution. 00:12:23.710 --> 00:12:28.372 It means they can cook in their home without worrying about it burning up. 00:12:28.372 --> 00:12:31.618 Otherwise, they had the cookstoves at a distance from the home. 00:12:31.618 --> 00:12:34.229 A massive example of teaming up, 00:12:34.229 --> 00:12:37.844 and that's how we're going to solve the problems of the world in the future, 00:12:37.844 --> 00:12:40.410 by the way - make the world a better place - 00:12:40.410 --> 00:12:43.506 is because we take lots of separate efforts 00:12:43.506 --> 00:12:45.179 and we bring them together, 00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:48.406 aligned in one big team. 00:12:48.406 --> 00:12:52.380 So now I've had four skills, and I want to get to the fifth, 00:12:52.380 --> 00:12:55.110 which is never give up - 00:12:55.550 --> 00:12:59.930 because of something that I coined a while ago, 00:12:59.930 --> 00:13:03.135 I call it Kanter's Law; I hope you do too. 00:13:03.135 --> 00:13:09.513 Kanter's Law is that everything can look like a failure in the middle. 00:13:10.683 --> 00:13:13.374 There's almost nothing we start 00:13:13.374 --> 00:13:17.015 that doesn't hit an obstacle, a road block. 00:13:17.305 --> 00:13:22.183 It takes longer than we imagined because we'd never done it before. 00:13:22.183 --> 00:13:24.927 It may take longer just to convene the first meeting. 00:13:24.927 --> 00:13:28.266 I sometimes have my MBA students do an action plan, 00:13:28.266 --> 00:13:32.124 and they say, "Week One - change the strategy. 00:13:32.124 --> 00:13:34.655 Week Two - implement." 00:13:34.655 --> 00:13:36.950 Well, you know, that's not realistic. 00:13:36.950 --> 00:13:39.582 I mean, middles are very, very difficult. 00:13:39.582 --> 00:13:42.075 You hit a bump in the road you didn't know was there, 00:13:42.075 --> 00:13:44.585 because you've never gone down the path before. 00:13:44.585 --> 00:13:47.310 The critics surface; they start attacking. 00:13:47.310 --> 00:13:49.869 It doesn't work the way it was envisioned - 00:13:49.869 --> 00:13:52.234 true of all kinds of technology - 00:13:52.234 --> 00:13:54.772 you have to go back to the drawing board. 00:13:54.772 --> 00:13:57.183 And so never give up. 00:13:57.183 --> 00:14:02.977 Because if you give up, by definition, it's a failure. 00:14:02.977 --> 00:14:06.016 You've stopped prematurely. 00:14:06.016 --> 00:14:08.978 If you keep going, persist and persevere, 00:14:08.978 --> 00:14:10.989 find a way around the obstacles, 00:14:10.999 --> 00:14:13.122 flexibly redesign, 00:14:13.302 --> 00:14:15.561 often you can produce a success. 00:14:15.561 --> 00:14:18.801 Sometimes it's not the success you first imagined. 00:14:18.801 --> 00:14:19.995 A lot of technology 00:14:19.995 --> 00:14:25.676 turns out to be applied in ways we had never thought of in the beginning. 00:14:25.676 --> 00:14:32.051 But that ability to hang in there and not give up is a hallmark of leaders. 00:14:32.051 --> 00:14:36.419 I mean, I think about a friend and colleague in my own area, 00:14:36.419 --> 00:14:43.090 Dr. Donald Berwick, who was recently the chief administrator for Medicare, 00:14:43.090 --> 00:14:46.102 the biggest health program in the United States. 00:14:46.102 --> 00:14:48.972 Well, for 20 or more years, 00:14:48.972 --> 00:14:53.278 he has been pursuing the idea of quality in healthcare, 00:14:53.278 --> 00:14:55.425 he's been pursuing the idea 00:14:55.425 --> 00:14:59.023 of innovation to raise quality and reduce costs. 00:14:59.023 --> 00:15:02.837 And do you know that it sometimes takes 17 years 00:15:03.217 --> 00:15:06.021 to get an innovation in healthcare 00:15:06.361 --> 00:15:11.572 from the mind of those who dream it up into use? 00:15:11.572 --> 00:15:15.371 That's an amazingly long time, but he never gave up. 00:15:15.371 --> 00:15:21.516 And my iconic example of a leader that we should all aspire to emulate 00:15:21.516 --> 00:15:23.322 is Nelson Mandela, 00:15:23.602 --> 00:15:27.809 the first democratically elected president of South Africa. 00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:32.112 He was in prison for 27 years 00:15:32.652 --> 00:15:34.595 and didn't give up. 00:15:34.975 --> 00:15:39.013 Finally, emerged from prison to be elected president, 00:15:39.013 --> 00:15:42.016 first democratically elected president. 00:15:42.016 --> 00:15:46.520 You know, sometimes my students say, "27 years in prison." 00:15:46.520 --> 00:15:51.516 And he emerged without a feeling of revenge. 00:15:51.516 --> 00:15:55.977 He emerged ready to get on with it, just interrupted in the middle - 00:15:55.977 --> 00:15:57.711 get on with it and build a country. 00:15:57.711 --> 00:16:03.112 They say, "I could never do that. I could never feel that much forgiveness." 00:16:03.832 --> 00:16:08.195 Well, I think, we hope, that you're not in prison for 27 years, 00:16:08.195 --> 00:16:12.458 we hope that your middles are shorter and sweeter, 00:16:12.458 --> 00:16:15.291 but find your inner Mandela. 00:16:15.291 --> 00:16:17.844 Find the strength to persist 00:16:17.844 --> 00:16:21.402 even against the naysayers, the critics and the obstacles 00:16:21.402 --> 00:16:25.492 because that's what makes a difference between success and failure. 00:16:25.492 --> 00:16:27.795 And then when you get to the point 00:16:27.795 --> 00:16:30.631 where it looks like what you're doing is working, 00:16:30.631 --> 00:16:33.484 it's taking hold, you have the first pilot, 00:16:33.484 --> 00:16:35.719 you have a little more support, 00:16:35.719 --> 00:16:40.245 you do the sixth thing, which is lift others up. 00:16:41.235 --> 00:16:42.936 Share success, 00:16:43.346 --> 00:16:45.976 the credit, the recognition, 00:16:46.316 --> 00:16:50.961 the idea of giving back once you have a success 00:16:50.961 --> 00:16:55.407 because that's what creates an environment in which you can do it again, 00:16:55.407 --> 00:16:56.840 you can do it the next time. 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:00.226 You build support rather than lose support. 00:17:01.116 --> 00:17:05.319 You must feel positively about the achievement 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:11.056 but make sure other people feel elevated by what you do as well. 00:17:11.056 --> 00:17:15.015 So that, quickly, are six secrets of success 00:17:15.015 --> 00:17:18.220 if you want things to continue to be up: 00:17:19.070 --> 00:17:20.402 Show up. 00:17:20.852 --> 00:17:22.371 Speak up. 00:17:23.181 --> 00:17:24.456 Look up. 00:17:25.476 --> 00:17:26.839 Team up. 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.463 Never give up. 00:17:29.893 --> 00:17:31.984 And lift others up. 00:17:32.284 --> 00:17:33.496 Thank you. 00:17:33.496 --> 00:17:34.924 (Applause)
