Gerund

a Zai sat where you said just about to get my degree and having the dream of wanting to open my own production company.

Future simple

I had the question of how How am I gonna get where I am to where I truly want to be When the path is not clear?

To-infinitive

How I know so many of you are wondering and asking the question how I have the degree You may even have the job, but the job necessarily isn't taking you exactly where you want to be.

So many of you are wondering how do you maximize what you've been given?

The degree cannot quantify the power of who you really are.

Don't find your identity in the four years of what you've done here, you are who you are.

No matter what it says on your diploma, I need you to know that you have what it takes to make it.

You have the creativity, you have the power and you have the purpose.

But the question of how still remains how you're going to do it.

Here are four tips to be successful in business.

You have to be absolutely crazy that you're gonna achieve a dream that no one in this earth has ever achieved.

I sat where you sat 19 years ago and I had a crazy dream to become a producer in Hollywood with my own deal And people said, Divine, it's not possible.

You're you're African American, your Christian.

I said, Listen, don't put what hasn't happened in your life on me.

Do not exchange what makes you different from what makes you common.

The path of your destiny is built on how unique and authentic you are.

There is a tendency to get out of this place and to say, Oh, well, I graduated from Marshall.

I'm just like every other graduate No, you're not.

Marshall has never seen what's on the inside of you.

Neither has the world of business, so Oh, your difference.

Just fit into a company's limited idea of who you are and what you can do.

It's your destiny on and I stand before you.

You know, when I when I was graduating Marshall, I had I did an emphasis and entrepreneurship and for my entrepreneurship program Thesis project, I did a business plan for my production company that I wanted to start when I was 22.

Or do I still own my difference and commit to the process?

Do you know it took 16 years after graduating out of this institution toe Finally get the production company.

Do you know the third Tiki in order to be successful is you must carry a crown before you wear one.

The crown was getting my own production company.

Even though in 22 I wanted the company, I was not ready.

How was I able to finally get the dream to manifest through service so you can serve your way to the top when you make your boss's life easier?

I guarantee you, you may have periods of unemployment, but you will never be without a job.

You may not have the job you want, but treated like it is the job you want.

And I guarantee you you will never see people say no.

You gotta help somebody else carry their crown before you are fit.

I don't know who I'm talking to, but somebody got to get the message of service today.

Many of you while you're happy you're putting on a smiling face.

The reality is this your really aren't sure.

And underneath the smile underneath the yes, I'm excited.

There's a bit of emptiness I've been there.

See our entire lives up into this point has been broken down into quarters.

Midterm semesters, finals report cards in GPS and summer breaks.

Yet for the first time, for some of you, you will no longer have these parameters, and it's scary to think about what the next phase of life will hold.

Even the power and the prestige of this great institution is not enough to insulate you from the fear that some of you have about your future and the quiet questions that persist in your heart.

Will I achieve the success I dream about?

This millennial generation, You want a microwave?

When was the last time you had a good microwave meal?

If you become successful quickly, you will lose it quickly.

I want that good in the oven baked success for you.

But when it comes out, it's gonna smell like preparation.
