I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks, nothing.

Gerund

Nelson Mandela said, there is no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living.

Now I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life, I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.

Make sure you got something to fall back on, honey.

But I never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.

If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.

I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.

Without consistency, you'll never finish.

There's an old IQ test was nine dots and you had to draw five lines with a pencil within these nine dots without lifting the pencil.

The only way to do it was to go outside the box.

So don't be afraid to go outside the box.

Don't be afraid to think outside the box.

Don't be afraid to fail big, to dream big.

But remember, dreams without goals are just dreams.

Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his career, the most in the history of baseball.

Thomas Edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments.

Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.

And I'm sure you've probably heard that before.

But I want to talk to you about why that's so important.

You will fail at some point in your life.

And I know that's probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony, but hey, I'm telling you, embrace it.

In the acting business, you fail all the time.

Early on in my career, I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical.

Perfect role for me, I thought, except for the fact that I can't sing.

I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition, and the next audition, and the next audition.

But it didn't matter, because you know what?

You hang around the barbershop long enough, sooner or later you're going to get a haircut.

So you will catch a break, and I did catch a break.

Last year, I did a play called Fences on Broadway.

It was at the same theater that I failed that first audition 30 years prior.

The point is, every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed.

If you don't fail, you're not even trying.

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

You've got to give it everything you've got, whether it's your time, your talent, your prayers, or your treasures.

What are you going to do with what you have?

Some of you are theologians, nurses, sociologists.

Some of you have the gift of long-suffering.

Whatever it is, whatever your gift is, what are you going to do with what you have?

Sometimes it's the best way to figure out where you're going.

I began at Fordham University as a pre-med student.

I took a course called cardiac morphogenesis.

So then I decided to go into pre-law, then journalism.

And with no academic focus, my grades took off in their own direction.

And the university very politely suggested that it might be better to take some time off.

And then one day, and I remember the exact day, March 27, 1975, I was helping my mother in her beauty shop.

My mother owned a beauty shop up in Mount Vernon.

And there was this older woman who was considered one of the elders in the town.

And I didn't know her personally, but I was looking in the mirror.

And every time I looked in the mirror, I could see her behind me.
