Speech

You can't do it alone. As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own.

When you feel scared, hold someone's hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same thing.

Take your risks now. As you grow older, you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally — I hurt my knee on the treadmill this week and it wasn't even on.

Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken. Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.

Think about not waiting your turn. Instead, think about getting together with friends that you admire, people you envy. Think about not waiting for a company to call you up.

In every career, your job is to make and tell stories. You will build a body of work, but you will also build a body of affection—the people you've helped and who've helped you back.

Just hold on and keep loving what you love. And you'll see, in the end, they will let you stay.

The world is run by those who show up, not those who wait to be asked.

Innovation comes from those who see things that others don't. Be persistent. Never give up.

It's your curiosity and enthusiasm that will get you noticed and make your life interesting—not your grade point average.

Fear is cheap. Fear is easy. Fear gets attention. Fear is spread as fast as gossip and is just as glamorous, juicy, and profitable. Fear twists facts into fictions that become indistinguishable from ignorance.

Fear or faith, which will be our master? Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror.
