Let me give you the list.

Here's number one.

Develop the ability to absorb.

Part of your challenge being here today is try to absorb it all, try to drink it all in, try to take it all in, both the scene, the tapestry of the scene, the situation, what's happening here as well, the ideas that are coming forth.

Here's what you must learn to do, absorb the whole drama, because when you wanna relate it later, you need both the emotion and the idea, not just the idea without the emotion, but you need the emotion, the power, the vitality,

what happened here as well as what you heard here.

That's what's important, so soak it all up.

What we're involved in right now is what we call group dynamics.

You only had to bring one person, which was yourself, and yet you got to carry away the spirit and the vitality and the power of the whole audience.

What a deal that is, a contribution of one, you get to carry away all the rest, almost more than you can carry emotionally.

powerful, learn to absorb it.

Don't miss the occasion.

I've looked at this room now dozens of times already because I want this room and the group here and the people that sat before me today, I want this firmly registered in my brain.

I want it burned on my consciousness.

I want to be able to recall this event as the years unfold.

I want the tapestry of all that happened here to be part of myself, my intellect, my spirit, my heart, my soul.

I want to soak it all up so that later I can recall and make it useful for someone else.

I was there.

I was there.

I used to come here.
