Welcome to Day 278...
And some very good advice...
From Oscar winner Denzel Washington who shared 3 keys ideas for leading a successful life during a commencement address he gave at Dillard University...
Put. God. First:
"Put God first in everything you do. Everything that you think you see in me, everything that I’ve accomplished, everything that you think I have, and I have a few things, everything that I have is by the grace of God."
Go Ahead & Fail & Don't Be Afraid To Go Outside the Box:
"You only live once, so do what you feel passionate about, passionate about. Take chances, professionally. Don’t be afraid to fail.There’s an old I.Q. test with nine dots and you had to draw five lines with a pencil within these five 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."
At the End of Day...Stuff Never Mattered:
"You’ll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse. I don’t care how much money you make, you can’t take it with you. The Egyptians tried it. They got robbed. It’s not how much you have. It’s what you do with what you have."
