Now, I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college
6
and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life,
7
I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.
8
Make sure you got something to fall back on, honey.
9
But I never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.
10
If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.
11
I want to fall forward.
12
I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.
13

This is what I mean.

Fall forward.

30
and I should know in the acting business
31
you fail all the time early on in my career
32
I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical perfect role for me I thought except for the fact
33
that I can't sing so I'm in the wings I'm about to go on stage
34
but the guy in front of me he's singing like like like paparazzi just going on
35
and on and on and i'm just shrinking i'm getting smaller
36
and smaller so they say oh thank you very much thank you very much
37
and you will you'll be hearing from us
38
so i come out with my little sheet music
39
and it was it was a just my imagination by the temptations that's what i came up with
40
so i hand it to the the the accompanist
41
and uh she looks at it and looks at me and looks out at the director and was like, nice.
42
So I start, you know, I'm going to sing, I'm like,
43
this is my imagination, once again, coming away with me.
44
And they're not saying anything, so I'm thinking, I'm getting better, so I start getting into it.
45
Thank you.
46
Thank you.
47
Thank you very much, Mr. Washington.
48
Thank you.
49
So I assumed I didn't get the job.
50
But the next part of the audition, he called me back.
51
The next part of the audition is the acting part of the audition.
52
Now I'm like, hey, okay, maybe I can't sing, but I know I can act.
53
So they pair me with this guy.
54
And again, I didn't know about musical theater.
55
And musical theater is big
56
so they can reach everyone all the way in the back of the stadium
57
and I'm more from a realistic naturalistic kind of acting where you you know
58
you actually talk to the person next to you
59
so I don't know what my line was my line was well hand me the cup
60
and his line was well I will hand
61
you the cup my dear the cup will be there to
62
be handed to you I said okay well should I give you the cup back oh yes
63
you should give it back to me because you know
64
that is my cup and it should be given back to me I didn't get the job but here's the thing
65
I didn't quit I didn't fall back I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition
66
and the next audition and the next audition I prayed I prayed and I prayed,
67
but I continued to fail and fail and fail.
68
But it didn't matter because you know what?
69
There's an old saying, you hang around the barbershop long enough, sooner or later you're going to get a haircut.
70
So you will catch a break, and I did catch a break.
71
Last year, I did a play called Fences on Broadway way someone talked about it won the Tony award
72
and I didn't have to sing by the way
73
but here's the kicker it was at the court theater it was at the same theater
74
that I failed
75
that first audition 30 years prior the point is every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed
76
But do you have the guts to fail?
77
Here's my second point about failure.
78
If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
79
I'll say it again.
80
If you don't fail, you're not even trying.
81
My wife told me this great expression.
82
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
83
Les Brown's a motivational speaker he made an analogy about this says imagine you're on your deathbed
84
and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential the ghost of the ideas
85
you never acted on the ghost of the talents you didn't use
86
and they're standing around your bed angry disappointed
87
and upset they say we came to you
88
because you could have brought us to life they say
89
and now we have to go to the grave together
90
so I ask you today how many ghosts are going to be around your bed
91
when your time comes you have s you you've invested a lot in your education
92
and people have invested in you
93
and let me tell you the world needs your talents
94
and does it ever I just got back from Africa like two days ago
95
so if I'm rambling on it's because I'm jet -lagged I just got back from South Africa it's a beautiful country,
96
but there are places there with terrible poverty that need help.
97
And Africa is just the tip of the iceberg.
98
The Middle East needs your help.
99
Japan needs your help.
100
Alabama needs your help.
101
Tennessee needs your help.
102
Louisiana needs your help.
103
Philadelphia needs your help.
104
The world needs a lot, and we need it from you.
105
We really do.
106
We need it from you, young people.
107
I mean, I'm not speaking for the rest of us up here, but I know I'm getting a little grayer.
108
we need it from you the young people
109
so you got to get out there you got to give it everything
110
you got whether it's your time your talent your prayers or your treasures because remember this
111
you will never see a u -haul behind a hearse you will never see a u -haul behind a hearse
112
you can't take it with you the Egyptians tried it and all they got was robbed
113
so the question is what are you going to do with what you have I'm not talking about how much
114
you have some of you are business majors some of you
115
are theologians nurses sociologists some of you have money some of
116
you have patience some of you have kindness some of you
117
have love some of you have the gift of long -suffering whatever
118
it is whatever your gift is what are you going to do
119
with what you have all right now here's my last point about failure
120
sometimes it's the best way to figure out where you're going
121
your life will never be a straight path
122
i began at fordham university as a pre -med student
123
I took a course called the cardiac morphogenesis I couldn't read
124
it I couldn't say it I sure couldn't pass it
125
so then I decided to go into pre -law then journalism
126
and with no academic focus my grades took off in their own direction.
127
Yeah, down.
128
I was a 1 .8 GPA one semester, and the university very politely suggested that it might be better to take some time off.
129
I was 20 years old.
130
I was at my lowest point, and then one day, and I remember the exact day,
131
March 27, 1975, I was helping my mother in her beauty shop.
132
My mother owned a beauty shop up in Mount Vernon,
133
and there There was this older woman who was considered one of the elders in the town
134
and I didn't know her personally but I was looking in the mirror
135
and every time I looked in the mirror I could see her behind me and she was staring at me.
136
She just kept looking at me.
137
Every time I looked at her she kept giving me these strange looks.
138
So she finally took the dryer off her head and said something.
139
She said something I'll never forget
140
First of all, she said somebody give me a piece of paper.
141
Give me a piece of paper
142
She said young boy.
143
I have a prophecy a spiritual prophecy
144
She said you are going to travel the world
145
and speak to millions of people now mind you I'm 20 years old I'm flunked out of school.
146
In fact like a wiseass.
147
I'm thinking to myself maybe she's got something in that crystal ball about me getting back into school next fall
148
but maybe she was on to something because later that summer
149
while working as a counselor at a ymca camp in connecticut we put on a talent show for the campers
150
and after the show another counselor came up to me
151
and asked have you ever thought about acting you're good at that
152
so when i got back to fordham
153
that fall i got in i changed my major once again for the last time
154
and in the years that follow just as
155
that woman prophesies I have traveled the world
156
and I have spoken to millions of people through my movies millions who up till
157
this day couldn't see me I who up till this day I couldn't see
158
while I was talking to them
159
and they couldn't see me they could only see the movie they couldn't see the real me
160
but I see you today and I'm encouraged by what I see.
161
And I'm strengthened by what I see.
162
And I love what I see.
163
Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
