Let's go ahead and get this party started. We want to start this by letting you know that from day one, at the end of the day, it's all about purpose. Ms. Marcello tells a story about Jesse Farrow Bend from Hawthorne, Nevada, and a former servant. She said, you crawled around for a while when you were coming along, but you's an Eagle now. You need to fly with us, boy. Get over it. But what the coach to coach moment was is get over yourself. And where you come from is nice, but where you're going is even better. Life is life. Live it. When should we live that life? Tomorrow? Next week? Or now? When? I didn't hear you. When she would live that life. Will you tell our graduates when they should live that life? We want them to do it when. Thank you. All of your best gifts and talents from God are all wrapped up in your purpose to get what you want in life. Team. It's about doing the work. Perfection is not something that we have to go for in life, whether you believe in it or you not. But excellence is something that we're all capable of. You folks are 100% unique, just like you are. The thing that really brings us more value than anything else is see each and every one of you guys succeed and do extremely well with your lives. That's why we're all here. And that's the whole point of it all. Discover your life now and discover your purpose and do it anyway, whatever it takes. And let that thought in this one guide you through each day. The only things you ever keep are the things you give away.
