Stop comparing yourself to other people.
2
You're only on this planet to be you, not someone else's imitation of you.
3
There really is a solution.
4
And the solution is each and every one of you.
5
Because you will become the new editorial gatekeepers,
6
an ambitious army of truth seekers who will arm yourselves with the intelligence,
7
with the insight and the facts necessary to strike down deceit.
8
You're in a position to keep all of those who now disparage real news, you all are the ones who are going to keep those people in check.
9
Why?
10
Because you can push back and you can answer false narratives with real information and you can set the record straight.
11
And you also have the ability and the power to give voice, as Dean Bae was saying,
12
to people who desperately now need to tell their stories and have their stories told.
13
And this is what I do know for sure because I've been doing it a long time.
14
If you can capture the humanity of people, if you could just capture the humanity of the people, the stories that you're telling,
15
you then get that much closer to your own humanity.
16
And you can confront your bias and you can build your credibility and hone your instincts and compound your compassion.

20
That is how you overcome hysteria.
21
That is how you overcome the sniping at one another, the trolling, the mean-spirited partisanship on both sides of the aisle,
22
the divisiveness, the injustices, and the out-and-out hatred.
23
You use it.
24
Use this moment to encourage you,
25
to embolden you, and to literally push you into the rising of your life.
26
And to borrow a phrase from my beloved mentor Maya Angelou, just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides,
27
just like the hopes springing high, you will rise.
28
You make the choice every day, every single day to exemplify honesty because the truth,
29
let me tell you something about the truth, the truth exonerates and it convicts.
30
It disinfects and it galvanizes.
31
The truth has always been and will always be our shield against corruption, our shield against greed and despair.
32
The truth is our saving grace.
33
The question is, what are you willing to stand for?
34
That question is going to follow you throughout your life.
35
And here's how you answer it.
36
You put your honor where your mouth is.
37
Put your honor where your mouth is.
38
When you give your word, keep it.
39
Show up.
40
Do the work.
41
Get your hands dirty.
42
And then you'll begin to draw strength from the understanding, the true knowing that history is still being written.

The will's still in spin.

And what you do or what you don't do will be a part of it.

A couple other thoughts before I go.

Ask for help when you need it.

And put your phone away at the dinner table.
56
Just sit on it.
57
Really.
58
And know that what you tweet
59
and post in Instagram today might be asked about in a job interview tomorrow or 20 years from tomorrow.
60
Be nice to little kids.
61
Be nice to your elders.
62
Be nice to animals and know that it's better to be interested than interesting.

Invest in a quality mattress.
64
I'm telling you Your back will thank you later.

And don't cheap out on your shoes.

- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: imitation /ɪmɪˈteɪ̯ʃən/, exemplify /ɛɡˈzɛmplɪfaɪ/, exonerate /ɪɡˈzɑnəˌɹeɪt/, illuminate /ɪˈl(j)umɪneɪt/, partisanship /ˌpɑːtɪˈzænʃɪp/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
