  1. Very inspiring video about achieving goals and always going forward "fall forward". I like that its about not being afraid of failure but about having goals to meet, to acheive your dream. Failure is not weakness its progress !

  2. I found this video very motivating and inspirational especially at the age of 17/18. I think everybody should get a self-confidence "boost" like this one. The fact that this video is focused on Denzel Washington's life is even more interesting and inspiring.
    One of the morals of this speech that we could retain is simply "never give up", which is clearly important in life.

  3. This young graduate of the University of Pennsylvania gives us a real lesson in life. He tells us first of all that we must always move forward in life and in our goals. Like when he helped his mother with her shop.
    To go forward you must not be afraid to fail and that on the contrary, to fail is a success because once you get over this failure you become stronger than ever, you must set goals in life and to achieve them you must take pleasure in it.

  4. You only live ones. What for?
    To make a diffence that’s the lesson that this man who just gratuated from university just taught all of us. In life you have ups and downs but you have to keep pushing and persevering to make the life of your dreams the actual life that you are going to live. Consistency and frequent reminders like this speech is teaching us to go forward and never look back, you can fail but get up if you do , get up even stronger then before.

  5. The actor show the path to all the students for succeed, based on his own experience.
    He gave them a life lesson, explaining than everyone has his own path based on : work, failures, manners, familial environment, meeting etc.
    Morality everyone has a key to success.
    In my opinion it's a speech who motivates the young generation and help them to project themselves into the futur to persevere until you get there.

  6. “Never give up” this very confident young graduate from the University of Pennsylvania is giving us a great moral lesson here that everyone should apply. Life is made up of many hard stages to overcome, but you always have to move forward in order to achieve your goals. Many teens for fear of failure don’t move forward, except that once it’s overcome, we become stronger to achieve our dreams. Belief in yourself is the key to success.

  7. In this video we can hear a black man speaking about his Life experiences during a graduation. He depicts an anecdote and give a Life lesson for all the people who are listenning to him.
    He advocates perseverence in work no matter haw many failures you crossed. His determination and insurance gives hope and strenght to those who listen to him. It’s a captiving speech which argues in favour willingness and pushes people to surpass themselves and overcome obstacles to succeed.
    I couldn’t be agree more with him on this point because if you want to achieve your goals you should always fight for what you want. To conclude this speech could be a help for many people who are about to drop and marks minds by his message:
    The perseverance always pay !

  8. At first, we see a man talking for a graduate day. Then during all this extract the man’s life appears as an exemple and with that there were others examples of lifes, goals, and dreams of people as celebrities like Serena Williams or not.
    I think this video intented to motivate us and showing that for grow successful we don’t need to succeed on everything we just have to define dreams, set some goals and learn from our fails.

  9. This young University graduate gives us a real lesson in life. First, he tells us that we must always move forward with our lives and our goals.
    To move forward, you must not fear failure and vice versa, you must set goals for yourself in the future life to be able to achieve them.

  10. For me , the real message in this video is "You have to fail". In life you have to fail to become better. If this men didn't have failed is study at first he may not would have do what he done. Failure is not bad, you just need to try again and never give up. His story is really inspiring and teach us that we need to be stronger and believe in our dreams. Don't follow what people tell you to do but do what you want to do.

  11. hi,
    this video was really hard for me to watch. It was very emotional which made me want to cry. I think it's really helpful, for us as students, to watch this. Since i was a child i always wanted to be in highschool to finally become an adult. Ironically, now that im almost 18 i want to go back to the 11 year old me. I feel like i closed my eyes one second and now i find myself in senior year ready to pass my final exams. This year is truly overwhelming for me, every adults i know told me i had no time left to choose my future job and the studies i want to do. But this video made me feel safe and realize that it's okay to fail because everybody fails at a moment of their life. So thank you for that.

  12. Hello,
    This man telling us the story of his successful life is really motivating, especially at this time of our life, when we need it the most: many of us don’t know what job or even what studies they want to do. People use to say that we can’t do what we want because we are not talented enough whereas this man tells us that everyone is talented to succeed. Moreover, he says that we have to be more self-confident and to have goals instead of having dreams so that we know what we are training for. Thus, he advises us to set ourself smaller or bigger goals in order to stay motivated. He reminds us that it’s not how much we have which determines our success but it’s what we do with what we have. Besides, he encourages us to do what we feel passionate about because we all have different talents and we just have to find which are ours. Finally, I find him very inspiring and outstanding, and I think that highschool teachers should show his students more motivating testimony such as this one.

  13. Hello, this man opens up to us while giving us advice in order to motivate young students like us. Indeed our future is all to be done and it is reassuring to hear this motivavating speech. He gives us sefl-confidence by explaining us it is normal to fail and we should never give up. Taking risks gives meaning to our life. We shouldn’t be afraid of doing new things and especially what we like because we only live once. He tells us to believe in ourselves and to not stop on our defeats.
    Thus I think it is important to motivate students because some of us might not understand that we are in a period in our lives when we have the possibilty to chosse our future.
    We have to keep going because « hardwork» always works like he said.

  14. First of all, this man gives a really interesting speech. I think it's important for everyone to listen to his advice. Indeed, whatever we do in life we all need motivation, and this man gives us a lot of it. I agree with him, because I really think that motivation is the key to success. We should not get discouraged easily at the slightest mistake we make. I think we should always remember the goals we want to achieve. So yes, the roads to reach them can be complicated, it can sometimes feel like it's all over, and that there's no reason to continue to work hard to get there. But it is by overcoming these thoughts that we can go far. I think that as humans, we really need to be positive, and always look on the bright side, even when it's not easy. Having negative thoughts, thinking that we should give up, that we will never achieve what we want, brings all these bad things into our lives. For example, all students should take this advice well. And as a student, I know that classes can be complicated, that when you don't get the grade your work deserves, you can often think that you won't be accepted in this or that university, that working is no longer useful, that you won't make the job you dream of. However, never giving up remains the key to success. Everyone fails at one time or another, and what makes us different from other people is that we always find the will within ourselves to go further.

  16. This motivational speech on a graduation day in the University of Pennsylvania is very inspiring because it encourages people to accept and learn from their failures, to take risks in life and to come out of their comfort zone in order to live their best life. It also insists on the concept of working hard with consistency, never giving up and especially never losing hope to become successful. So, it is necessary to dream big but on the same time it is really important to set goals to transform a dream into reality as well as to make a difference in the world.
