ever, ever, ever before it's going to be.

As you embark on this great adventure,

let me share some of the biggest lessons I've learned from a lifetime spent building dreams and beating the odds.

I beat a lot of odds.

A lot of odds.

A lot of people said, I don't know.

But it worked out okay.

Where are we?

Oh, gee, I'm President.

How did that happen?

Now, you're going to be in the same position,

but some of the things — would you like to hear some of the ideas,

or should I just skip over that part, huh?

That's going to be more interesting than all the other stuff which was slightly political, right?

I'm going to give it to you,

though, just as I see it and as I've learned it,

the hard way and the easy way.

First, if you're here today and think that you're too young to do something great,

let me tell you that you are wrong.

You're not too young and have great success at a very young age.

You're all very young.

In America, with drive and ambition,

young people can do anything.

I was 28 when I took my first big gamble to develop a hotel in Midtown Manhattan,

the Grand Hyatt, and it worked out incredibly well.

But I was very young at the time.

I was like a very young person in sort of an old person business.

Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple.

Walt Disney was 21 when he founded Disney.

James Madison, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson.

They were no older than 25 when they began the journeys that etched their names into the history books for all time.

So to everyone here today, don't waste your youth.

Go out and fight right from the beginning,

from the day you leave this incredible university.

Go out and fight, fight tough, fight fair.

But go out and fight.

You're going to be very successful because now is the time to work harder than you have ever worked before.

Push yourself further than you have ever pushed yourself before.

Find your limits and then smash through everything.

Go and smash through.

You've watched that football team smash through.

You're going to do the same thing.

You're at the age when you have the time

and vitality to do really incredible things

if you give just give it your all you'll look back

and a decade from now you'll be astounded by what you've achieved you'll remember this day you remember

when the guy named trump was giving the commencement address

and he said i could do it

and guess what i did i think you're going to remember that very fondly i hope so Second of all,

and very importantly, you have to love what you do.

Okay?

You have to.

I rarely see somebody that's successful that doesn't love what he or she does.

That's way really, like, work like work isn't work.

It's fun.

I find it fun.

I work all the time and I find it fun.

If I didn't find it fun,

I wouldn't be successful, whether it was real estate or in showbiz.

I had a lot of different careers,

but I loved real estate so much and I was very successful in real estate because I loved it.

I learned a lot from my father because I watched him work.

He was a workaholic.

He worked.

He loved to work.

He's a good man.

He was a tough guy.

Tough as hell, actually.

Now that I think back,

I don't know if you could even get away with that nowadays.

He was tough, but he was a good man, I'll tell you.

And he worked seven days a week.

He worked Saturdays, Sundays.

It didn't matter.

And I learned by watching him, he loved his life.

He loved what he was doing.

He had a great long-term marriage,

a long, long, many, many, many years.

He beat me on that one.

Now, I've minded very successful,

but they haven't lasted quite as long.

It was close to 70 years.

That was a long time.

I said, Pop, you beat me on that one.

But you know what I learned from him?

That he just loved life,

and all he did was work.

I see people that don't work hard, and they're miserable.

So go out and find.

But he loved what he was doing.

And you have to find something that you love.

And you have to follow your own instincts.

Listen to your parents.

They're very wise.

But you have to follow your instincts and your heart, your soul.

And you want to be the very,

very best you can be.

Treat every day like a home game against Auburn.

Fight like hell and enjoy doing it.

100

And your coach can tell you all about that.

101

Third thing is to think big.

102

You know, you're going to do something,

103

you might as well think big.

104

Because it's just as tough.

105

You can think small.

106

I know a lot of people, they thought small.

107

They're very smart.

108

I know others that weren't nearly as smart,

109

but they had a better picture of the big picture,

110

because it's just as hard to solve a small problem as a big problem,

111

and it's just as much energy and everything else except the result is going to be a smaller one.

112

So love what you do,

113

but think big if it's possible.

114

Now, if it's not possible, that's okay, too.

115

You do something, you have to do something that you love.

116

You will have all the same headaches and challenges,

117

all the same delays and setbacks,

118

so you might as well do something that's just amazing.

119

America doesn't aim small.

120

Alabama doesn't aim small, and neither do you.

121

So think big when possible.

122

Think big.

123

Fourth is work hard.

124

Work hard.

125

Never, ever stop.

126

An example is a great athlete, actually, Gary Player, golfer.

127

Great, great golfer.

128

He wasn't as big as other men.

129

And he was actually on the small side.

130

Don't tell him that, friend of mine.

131

Don't tell him that because he doesn't understand that.

132

But he worked very, very hard.

133

He made up for it.

134

He never stopped.

135

He won 168 golf tournaments.

136

Think of that, 100.

137

I said, Gary, you're winning like every weekend.

138

Do you ever choke or anything?

139

I don't know what choke means.

140

And he made a statement years ago that I read,

141

and I thought it was sort of an incredible statement.

142

He said, it's funny, the harder I work, the luckier I get.

143

Right?

144

Think of that.

145

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

146

So you really have to work hard,

147

and you're going to be successful because you have the talent to get into this school is not easy.

148

To get through it is even more difficult.

149

You have a lot of talent.

150

Fifth is don't lose your momentum.

151

You just want to keep it going.

152

And you have to know if you are losing it,

153

you have to know when you're losing it.

154

So maybe you stop and maybe it's time to stop.

155

Listen to the feedback.

156

Think through your plan very carefully and keep moving fast.

157

The word momentum is very important.

158

I mean, I'll just tell you a little story about a great real estate developer named William Levitt.

159

He built Levittown.

160

Some of you might live in a Levittown.

161

He was the biggest developer in the whole country in the 1940s and so.

162

And he built these jobs.

163

He started with one house,

164

then two houses, then 20 houses,

165

then thousands and thousands of houses.

166

And a company, Gulf and Western,

167

came along and they said,

168

we're going to make you an offer to buy your company.

169

And they offered him a lot of money,

170

a lot of money, more money than he ever thought he could make.

171

And he retired.

172

He lost his momentum.

173

He retired, and he led a beautiful life.

174

He had a wife, I must tell you.

175

It was his second wife.

176

It was a trophy wife.

177

What can I say?

178

I don't like telling you everything,

179

but we're all friends, right?

180

Can we talk?

181

We're all friends.

182

He had a trophy wife.

183

And he lived a different life.

184

He moved to the south of France.

185

He lived — it was a life of tremendous luxury.

186

He had so many millions of dollars,

187

he was given a fortune for the company.

188

And 10 years went by,

189

and then 15 years went by,

190

and he got a call from this big conglomerate,

191

Gulf and Western, and they said,

192

we're not doing well with the purchase,

193

because he used to pick up every nail,

194

every piece of sawdust, every piece of wood,

195

every chip, everything, and he'd sell it.

196

He'd make a couple of bucks.

197

He'd — everything was perfect.

198

They can't do that.

199

You know, these big companies, they don't do that.

200

You see it a lot when an entrepreneur sells to a big company

201

and then he ends up buying the company back for peanuts later on.

202

Happens a lot.

203

But he was the best at what he did.

204

But 15 years went by and he was so excited and they sold him back, his company.

205

And he started and he was going to tear apart the world because he got bored with a life of luxury.

206

And he started building and building and building.

207

And the markets turned on him.

208

And he went bad.

209

He lost everything.

210

And he went bankrupt.

211

Absolutely bankrupt.

212

And it was a sad story to read.

213

It was such an amazing story because he was so rich.

214

But he paid them.

215

And he bought it for the right price.

216

Bought it low.

217

But he went wild.

218

But he lost his momentum.

219

He wasn't good at it anymore.

220

And he was at a party on Fifth Avenue, I'll never forget.

221

And it was a party of a very,

222

very powerful man who was having the party in a magnificent apartment overlooking the park.

223

And I walked in, and there were 50 or so people.

224

I recognized most of them,

225

all the biggest business people in the world, actually.

226

Very glamorous.

227

I was doing well.

228

I was young and I was doing well.

229

And I was invited to parties like that.

230

And I looked in the corner and there was Mr. William Levitt sitting all by himself on a chair looking very glum.

231

Nobody was talking to him.

232

Because you'll find that when you're not successful,

233

you lose a lot of friends.

234

It's not a good situation.

235

But there was nobody talking to him.

236

But I wanted to talk to him because I was in the real estate business and he was.

237

And most of these people were in different businesses.

238

And I went over and talked to him and I said,

239

how are you, Mr. Lovett?

240

He goes, Donald?

241

He knew who I was.

242

Not well.

243

I'm not well.

244

I said, so can you come back?

245

He said, no, son.

246

I lost my momentum.

247

I shouldn't have done it.

248

I lost my momentum.

249

And I never forgot that expression.

250

He lost his momentum.

251

If he would have kept going,

252

instead of selling and relaxing and going into a different life

253

he probably would have been three times bigger than he was

254

but he lost his momentum and you have to know

255

when it's your time i mean there'll be a time

256

when you do lose you see it with fighters you see

257

it with a lot of people they have a great record

258

and they retire and then four years later say i'm going back i can beat

259

that guy and they get knocked to hell

260

and it's not good it's not good

261

so he lost his momentum you have to know when your momentum time is up i call it momentum time

262

But follow your momentum.

263

It's a very important word.

264

You don't hear it from too many, but I've seen it.

265

I've seen it a lot.

266

Number six, if you want to change the world,

267

you have to have the courage to be an outsider.

268

In other words, you have to take certain risks and do things a little bit differently.

269

Otherwise, if that weren't the case, everybody would be successful.

270

It doesn't work that way.

271

Progress never comes from those satisfied with the failures of a broken system system.

272

It comes from those who want to fix the broken system.

273

And you'll make the bigger money,

274

you'll make them more success by acting that way.

275

The other way may be more secure,

276

but if you want to go to the top,

277

you're just never going to do it unless you break the system.

278

Change is never easy.

279

And the closer you get to success,

280

the more ferociously those with a vested and interests in the past will resist you.

281

They want to resist.

282

So I just say, trust me on that,

283

because I know you really do.

284

You have to break the system a little bit and follow your own instincts.

285

But if your vision is right,

286

nothing will hold you down.

287

Nothing.

288

You have to have the right vision.
