Who is listening to this powerful message in 2024?

“If I’m going to fall, I don’t wanna fall back on anything… I want to fall forward. At least that way I’ll see what I’m going to hit.”

Brilliant

Thank you for sharing this video, here are my speech notes:
• dreams without goals are just dreams
• life goals yearly goals daily goals
• discipline and consistency
• plan everyday work everyday
• hard work works
• Just because you are going a lot more doesn’t mean you are getting a lot more done.
• don’t confuse movement with progress
• it’s about what you do with what you have, not about what you have
• say thank you every morning in advance, for what is already yours
• each one, teach one
• aspire to make a difference
• nothing in life is worth it if you don’t take risk
• you will lose, you will embarrass yourself, you'll suck.
• to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did
• the world needs a lot and we need it from you
• what are you going to do with what you have?
• small minds discuss other people, good minds discuss ideas
• care for one another, love one another
• what an opportunity we have
Thank you For Reading My Notes! Because of this video I have made my own yearly-, monthly- and weekly-goals, which I share on my own channel, for people who need a reference.

My favorite actor . Not only because he is one of the absolute best at his trade but because he is genuine . Always places the lord first and takes care of our soldiers .

[alphabah]

Why not these commencement speeches at the orientation day? Having them at the beginning would change lot things

Thank you Denzel. My daughter was in a terrible accident, revived a tbi, her brain shifted, she broke her back in five places, tore her vagina and anus open when she was ejected, and multiple other injuries. She was not expected to make it. She was in a coma and life support. Needless to say, her recovery was unbearable for me, and the hardest fight she ever fought for her. We had to re teach her everything. I never let her give up. I never let her fall back. She fell seven times and got up eight. Four years later, she is soaring again. With God, with perseverance, and taking risks many people couldn't survive. There is so much more to what I call Sierra's journey, but what you said, is exactly what I did to get my child back. Thank you for taking time out for everyday people. I just wanted you to know how you affect people

Here I am in 2024.. coming back to listen to this. Man is a legend . All day every day.

[amantes]

"if you are not failing means you are not even trying" powerful words... failure should encourage us not the other way round

[TheSuccessEngine]

Denzel's words served as a source of motivation, encouragement, and a reminder that each person has the power to shape their own destiny and contribute to a better world.

[nicolascage]

This is a great speech, by a man of God, a man of character, a man of wisdom. A man that knows Jesus.

[sandyworkman]

I've always admired Denzel. Not only a great actor, but a great human. He took care of and loved his wife and family, has great morals and great faith in God.

[jackiefoster]

With his wisdom he should run for President in 2024. We certainly need men like him to help clean up the mess in Washington.

[relaxinghideawaysmusic]

To all who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day. ❤️

[skubak]

I was 9 at this watching my cousin graduate from college, now I’m almost 20 and this is a core memory

[standndtimearound]

WOW!!! Denzel is brilliant and when he gets to 13:30 about Les Brown (Motivation Speaker) that resonated with me 1000% This is good even at my age of 56. I have learned something new today and I hope to have one less GHOST...

[lebohangmokoena]

Wow absolutely beautiful, I am still here in 2024 from South Africa .

[gopalsuri]

THIS IS IT... THIS IS NOT MOTIVATIONAL VIDEOS ITS AN JOURNEY THROUGH WORDS TO INSPIRE US!


THANKYOU, DENZEL WASHINGTON

[mooglie]

No other commencement speech will ever top this one. Denzel W is the best - human, down-to-earth, funny, but his message is clear. Well said and mighty encouraging for future generations. Penn's 255th commencement students and staff got a real treat.

[jennacassin]

Half of these graduates dont look impressed, or look bored to death! I'd be in complete awe and mesmerized throughout his speech!!
