You're stronger than you seem, you're braver than you believe, and you're smarter than you think.

L'histoire derrière cette citation
Carville shared a tender moment from his life as a father. While lying in bed preparing a speech for young people, he heard a scene from Winnie the Pooh where Christopher Robin reassures Pooh with these words. Carville told the graduates to carry this childhood wisdom with them into their adult lives — into job interviews, oral exams, legal arguments, and every moment where fear threatens to overwhelm them. He urged them to go back in their minds to the Hundred Acre Wood, take a deep breath, and remind themselves of this simple truth before stepping forward into whatever challenge awaits.
