A lot of other folk will tell you that the sky is falling. I will not tell you that the sky is falling. I will say that those are pennies from heaven. Because I've seen this movie before and I know how it turns out.

L'histoire derrière cette citation
Gardner closed his speech with a message of defiant optimism aimed squarely at the fear and uncertainty of 2009. While others warned the graduates about a collapsing economy and vanishing job market, Gardner reframed the chaos as opportunity. Having personally gone from sleeping in subway stations to building a multimillion-dollar brokerage firm, he had indeed seen the movie before — he had lived it. His parting words urged the graduates to always pursue happiness and to start where they are, echoing the title and spirit of both his memoir and the film that brought his story to the world.
