I'm flunked out of school.

In fact, like a wise ass, I'm thinking to myself, maybe she's got something in that crystal ball about me getting back into school next fall.

But maybe she was on to something, because later that summer, while working as a counselor at a YMCA camp in Connecticut...

We put on a talent show for the campers.

And after the show, another counselor came up to me and asked, have you ever thought about acting?

You're good at that.

And in the years that followed, just as that woman prophesied, I have traveled the world, and I have spoken to millions of people through my movies.

Don't be afraid to fail.

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.

and they ultimately fuel disappointment.

So have dreams, but have goals.

Life goals, yearly goals, monthly goals, daily goals.
