Please join me in welcoming Denzel Washington.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I am obviously the most unorganized.

Everybody else has nice boxes to bring their script up in.

I just kind of got it all messed up here and put it inside of a magazine.

So in fact, I don't even have it in the right order.

Wait a minute.

Let me get in the right order here

So if it starts like flying around the stage Just you know run around

and grab it for me and bring it back up here for me I'll keep going as I can

President Guttman Provost Price Board Chair Cohen Fellow honorees,

beautiful honorees and today's graduates.

I'm honored and grateful for the invitation today.

It's always been great to be on the Penn campus.

I've been here before a lot of times for basketball games my son played at the Palestra, played on the basketball team.

Yeah, that's right, played on the basketball team.

Coach didn't give enough playing time.

We'll talk about that later.

No, but I'm really pleased with the progress that Coach Allen has made.

No, I do.

I am.

I really am.

I hope I'm the best success in the future.

And you know, I always get a warm welcome when I come to Pennsylvania, when I come to Philadelphia.

Except on the few occasions where I wear my Yankee cap.

I mean, what's wrong with that?

I can't suddenly just switch up and wear a Philly cap.

I mean, it's like taking your life and your hands around here when you wear a Yankee cap.

I'm telling you.

I met a couple of guys and they were like, hey, we love you Denzel, but you know, you're walking around with that hat on, we don't care who you are.

So you'll be happy to see that I'm not wearing my Yankee cap today.

I'm wearing my Yankee socks, my Yankee t -shirt, my Yankee jock shorts, my Yankee underwear, my Yankee toe warmers,

but not my Yankee cap.

But still, I'll be honest with you, I'm a little nervous.

I'm not used to speaking at a graduation of this magnitude.

It's a little overwhelming.

It's out of my comfort zone.

You dress me up in Army fatigues or throw me on top of a moving train, as someone said, unstoppable, or ask me to play Malcolm X,

Reuben Hurricane Carter, or Alonzo from Training Day.

I can do that.

But a commencement speech, it's a very serious affair and it's a very different ball game.

There are literally thousands and thousands of people here.

And for those who say, well, you're a movie star, millions of people watch you and watch you speak all the time.

Well, that's two.

That's technically true.

But I'm not actually in the theater watching them watching me.

I think that makes sense.

I mean, I'm not there when they call for a fidget around

or pull out their iPhones or text their boyfriend

or scratch their behinds or whatever it is they're doing in a movie theater it.

But from up here, I can see every single one of you.

And that makes me uncomfortable.

So please, don't pull out your iPhones and your text.

Don't text your boyfriend until after I'm done.

Please.

If you have to scratch your behind, I mean, I understand.

Go ahead.

I was thinking about this speech, what I should say, I figured the best way to keep your attention would be to talk about something,

you know, really like juicy Hollywood stuff, like I thought I could talk about me and Russell Crowe getting in arguments on a set of American Gangster,

or but I said, no, no, no, you're a group of high -minded intellectuals, you're not interested in that, Or maybe not.

I thought about a private moment I had backstage with Angelina Jolie in a dressing room after the Oscars.

But I said, no, I don't think so.

This is an Ivy League school.

And I mean, Angelina Jolie half naked in a dressing room.

Who wants to hear about that?

No one, No one, no one, no one.

This is Penn.

That stuff would never go over well over here.

Maybe at Drexel, but not over here.

Whoo, I'm in trouble now.

So I was back to square one, feeling the pressure.

So now you're probably thinking, if it was going to be this difficult, this much pressure, why did I even accept today's invitation in the first place?

Well, you know, my son goes here.

That's number one.

That's a good reason.

And I always like to check to see how my money's being spent.

And I'm sure there's some parents out there who can relate to what I'm talking about.

Yeah.

Mmm.

To everybody upstairs.

And there were some other good reasons for me to show up.

Sure, I got an Academy Award, but I never had something called a magic meatball after waiting in line for half an hour at the food truck.

Yes, I talk face -to -face with President Obama,

but I never talk face -to -face with a guy named Queeter who sings bad songs over at Smokes on Tuesday night.

I've never been to Buys.

I've never been to Hemos.

Yes, I have played a detective who battles demons, but I've never been to a school in my life where the squirrel population has gone bananas.

I mean they're breaking in the dorm rooms, they're walking around campus.

I think I saw some carrying books on their way to class.

So I had to be here.

I had to come.

Even though I was afraid I might make a fool of myself.

In In fact, if you really want to know the truth, I had to come exactly because I might make a fool of myself.

What am I talking about?

Here it is.

I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.

Nothing.

Nelson Mandela said, there is no passion to be found playing small

100

and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living.

101

Now I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college

102

and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life, I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.

103

Make sure you've got something to fall back on, honey.

104

But I never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.

105

If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.

106

I want to fall forward.

107

I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.

108

Fall forward.

109

This is what I mean.

110

Reggie Jackson struck out 2 ,600 times in his career, the most in the history of baseball.

111

But you don't hear about the strikeouts people remember the home runs.

112

Fall forward.

113

Thomas Edison conducted 1 ,000 failed experiments.

114

Did you know that?

115

I didn't know that.

116

Because the 1 ,001st was the light bulb.

117

Fall forward.

118

Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.

119

You've got to take risks, and I'm sure you've You've probably heard that before, but I want to talk to you about why that's so important.

120

I got three reasons, and then you can pick up your iPhones.

121

First, you will fail at some point in your life.

122

Accept it.

123

You will lose.

124

You will embarrass yourself.

125

You will suck at something.

126

There's no doubt about it.

127

And I know that's probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony, but hey, I'm telling you.

128

Embrace it.

129

Because it's inevitable.

130

And I should know.

131

In the acting business you fail all the time.

132

Early on in my career I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical.

133

Perfect role for me I thought.

134

Except for the fact that I can't sing.

135

So I'm in the wings.

136

I'm about to go on stage but the guy in front of me he's singing like Pavarotti.

137

He's just going on and on and on, and I'm just shrinking.

138

I'm getting smaller and smaller.

139

So they say, oh, thank you very much, thank you very much, and you'll be hearing from us.

140

So I come out with my little sheet music, and it was just my imagination by the Temptations.

141

That's what I came up with.

142

So I hand it to the accompanist, and she looks at it and looks at me and looks out at the director, and it was like...

143

So I start, you know, I'm going to sing, I'm like,

144

it's just my imagination once again and then coming away with me.

145

And I'm not saying anything, so I'm thinking I'm getting better, so I start getting into it.

146

It was just my imagination.

147

Thank you, thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Washington, thank you.

148

So I assumed I didn't get the job, but the next part of the audition, he called me back.

149

The next part of the audition is the acting part of the audition.

150

So I'm like, hey, okay, maybe I can't sing, but I know I can act.

151

So they pair me with this guy, and again, I didn't know about musical theater, and musical theater is big, so they can reach everyone all the way in the back of the stadium.

152

And I'm more from a realistic, naturalistic kind of acting where you, you know, you actually talk to the person next to you.

153

So I don't know what my line was.

154

My line was, well, hand me the cup.

155

And his line was, well, I will hand you the cup, my dear.

156

The cup will be there to be handed to you.

157

I said okay well should I give you the cup back oh yes you should give it back to me

158

because you know that is my cup and it should be given back to me I

159

didn't get the job but here's the thing I didn't quit

160

I didn't fall back I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition

161

and the next audition and the next audition I prayed I prayed

162

and I prayed but I continued to fail and fail

163

and fail but it didn't matter

164

because you know what there's an old saying you hang around the barbershop long enough sooner

165

or you're going to get a haircut.

166

So you will catch a break, and I did catch a break.

167

Last year, I did a play called Fences on Broadway.

168

Someone talked about it.

169

Won the Tony Award.

170

And I didn't have to sing, by the way. But here's the kicker.

171

It was at the Court Theater.

172

It was at the same theater that I failed that first audition 30 years prior.

173

The point is, and I'll pick up the pace, the point is every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed.

174

But do you have the guts to fail?

175

Here's my second point about failure it.

176

If you don't fail, you're not even trying.

177

I'll say it again.

178

If you don't fail, you're not even trying.

179

My wife told me this great expression.

180

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

181

Les Brown's a motivational speaker.

182

He made an analogy about this.

183

He says, imagine you're on your deathbed and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential,

184

the ghosts of the ideas you never acted on, the ghosts of the talents you didn't use,

185

and they're standing around your bed angry, disappointed, and upset.

186

They say, we came to you because you could have brought us to life, they say, and now we have to go to the grave together.

187

So I ask you today, how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes?

188

You've invested a lot in your education and people have invested in you.

189

And let me tell you, the world needs your talents, man does it ever.

190

I just got back from Africa like two days ago, so if I'm rambling on it's because I'm jet -lagged.

191

I just got back from South Africa.

192

It's a beautiful country, but there are places there with terrible poverty that need help.

193

And Africa is just the tip of the iceberg.

194

The Middle East needs your help.

195

Japan needs your help.

196

Alabama needs your help.

197

Tennessee needs your help.

198

Louisiana needs your help.

199

Philadelphia needs your help.

200

The world needs a lot, and we need it from you.

201

We really do.

202

We need it from you young people.

203

I mean, I'm not speaking for the rest of us up here, but I know I'm getting a little grayer.

204

We need it from you, the young people, because remember this.

205

So you got to get out there.

206

You got to give it everything you got, whether it's your time.

207

your talent, your prayers, or your treasures.

208

Because remember this.

209

You will never see a U -Haul behind a hearse.

210

I'll say it again.

211

You will never see a U -Haul behind a hearse.

212

You can't take it with you the Egyptians tried it

213

and all they got was robbed

214

so the question is what are you going to do with

215

what you have I'm not talking about how much you have

216

some of you are business majors some of you are theologians

217

nurses sociologists some of you have money some of you have

218

patience some of you have kindness some of you have loved

219

some of you have the gift of long -suffering whatever it is whatever your gift is, what are you going to do with what you have?

220

All right, now here's my last point about failure.

221

Sometimes it's the best way to figure out where you're going.

222

Your life will never be a straight path.

223

I began at Fordham University as a pre -med student.

224

I took a course called the cardiac, I still can't say it.

225

Cardiac morphogenesis.

226

I couldn't read it.

227

I couldn't say it.

228

I sure couldn't pass it.

229

So then I decided to go into pre -law, then journalism.

230

And with no academic focus, my grades took off in their own direction.

231

Yeah, down.

232

I was a 1 .8 GPA one semester.

233

And the The university very politely suggested that it might be better to take some time off.

234

I was 20 years old.

235

I was at my lowest point.

236

And then one day, and I remember the exact day, March 27, 1975, I was helping my mother in her beauty shop.

237

My mother owned a beauty shop up in Mount Vernon.

238

And there was this older woman who was considered one of the elders in the town.

239

And I didn't know her personally, but I was looking in the mirror.

240

And every time I looked at the mirror, I could see her behind me, and she was staring at me.

241

She just kept looking at me.

242

Every time I looked at her, she kept giving me these strange looks.

243

So she finally took the dryer off her head and said something I'll never forget.

244

First of all, she said, somebody give me a piece of paper.

245

Give me a piece of paper.

246

She said, young boy, I have a prophecy, a spiritual prophecy.

247

She said, you are going to travel the world and speak to millions of people.

248

Now, mind you, I'm 20 years old, I'm flunked out of school.

249

In fact, like a wise ass, I'm thinking to myself, maybe she's got something in that crystal ball about me getting back into school next fall.

250

But maybe she was on to something, because later that summer, while working as a counselor at a YMCA camp in Connecticut, we put on a talent show for the campers.

251

And after the show, another counselor came up to me and asked, have you ever thought about acting?

252

You're good at that.

253

So when I got back to Fordham that fall, I got in and I changed my major once again for the last time.

254

And in the years that followed, just as that woman prophesied, I have traveled the world and I have spoken to millions of people through my movies.

255

Millions who up till this day couldn't see me, who up till this day I couldn't see while I was talking to them, and they couldn't see me.

256

They could only see the movie.

257

They couldn't see the real me.

258

But I see you today.

259

And I'm encouraged by what I see.

260

And I'm strengthened by what I see.

261

And I love what I see.

262

Thank you.

263

One more page and I'll shut up.

264

Let me conclude with this one final point

265

and actually the president kind of brought it up has to do with the movie Philadelphia.

266

She stole my material.

267

Many years ago I did this movie called Philadelphia.

268

We filmed some of the scenes right here on campus.

269

Philadelphia came out in 1993, most of you were probably still in diapers.

270

some of the professors too but that cracked me up

271

but it was a good movie rent it on what do

272

you call it Netflix it's good movie rent it I get 23 cents every time you rent it please up there, rent, rent, rent it.

273

Netflix, please.

274

Tell your friends too.

275

It's about a man played by Tom Hanks who's fired from his law firm because he has AIDS.

276

He wants to sue the firm, but no one's willing to represent him until a homophobic ambulance chaser, lawyer, played by yours, truly takes on the case.

277

In a way, if you watch the movie, you'll see everything I'm talking about today.

278

You'll see what I mean about taking risk or being willing to fail.

279

Because taking risk is not just about going for a job.

280

It's also about knowing what you know and what you don't know.

281

It's about being open to people and to ideas.

282

In the course of the film, the character I play begins to take small steps, small risks, he very, very,

283

very slowly begins to overcome his fears.

284

And I feel ultimately his heart becomes flooded with love.

285

And I can't think of a better message as we send you off today.

286

To not only take risks, but to be open to life, to accept new views, and And to be open to new opinions.

287

To be willing to speak at a commencement at one of the best universities in the country even though you're scared stiff.

288

While it may be frightening, it will also be rewarding.

289

Because the chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have, that's what's going to define you.

290

So members of the class of 2011, this is your mission.

291

When you leave the friendly confines of Philly, never be discouraged, never hold back, give everything you've got.

292

And when you fall throughout life, and maybe even tonight after a few mini glasses of champagne,

293

remember this, fall forward.

294

Congratulations.

295

I love you.

296

God bless you.

297

I respect you.

298

Thank you.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
