1
ever, ever, ever before it's going to be.
2
As you embark on this great adventure,
3
let me share some of the biggest lessons I've learned from a lifetime spent building dreams and beating the odds.
4
I beat a lot of odds.
5
A lot of odds.
6
A lot of people said, I don't know.
7
But it worked out okay.
8
Where are we?
9
Oh, gee, I'm President.
10
How did that happen?
11
Now, you're going to be in the same position,
12
but some of the things — would you like to hear some of the ideas,
13
or should I just skip over that part, huh?
14
That's going to be more interesting than all the other stuff which was slightly political, right?
15
I'm going to give it to you,
16
though, just as I see it and as I've learned it,
17
the hard way and the easy way.
18
First, if you're here today and think that you're too young to do something great,
19
let me tell you that you are wrong.
20
You're not too young and have great success at a very young age.
21
You're all very young.
22
In America, with drive and ambition,
23
young people can do anything.
24
I was 28 when I took my first big gamble to develop a hotel in Midtown Manhattan,
25
the Grand Hyatt, and it worked out incredibly well.
26
But I was very young at the time.
27
I was like a very young person in sort of an old person business.
28
Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple.
29
Walt Disney was 21 when he founded Disney.
30
James Madison, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson.
31
They were no older than 25 when they began the journeys that etched their names into the history books for all time.
32
So to everyone here today, don't waste your youth.
33
Go out and fight right from the beginning,
34
from the day you leave this incredible university.
35
Go out and fight, fight tough, fight fair.
36
But go out and fight.
37
You're going to be very successful because now is the time to work harder than you have ever worked before.
38
Push yourself further than you have ever pushed yourself before.
39
Find your limits and then smash through everything.
40
Go and smash through.
41
You've watched that football team smash through.
42
You're going to do the same thing.
43
You're at the age when you have the time
44
and vitality to do really incredible things
45
if you give just give it your all you'll look back
46
and a decade from now you'll be astounded by what you've achieved you'll remember this day you remember
47
when the guy named trump was giving the commencement address
48
and he said i could do it
49
and guess what i did i think you're going to remember that very fondly i hope so Second of all,
50
and very importantly, you have to love what you do.
51
Okay?
52
You have to.
53
I rarely see somebody that's successful that doesn't love what he or she does.
54
That's way really, like, work like work isn't work.
55
It's fun.
56
I find it fun.
57
I work all the time and I find it fun.
58
If I didn't find it fun,
59
I wouldn't be successful, whether it was real estate or in showbiz.
60
I had a lot of different careers,
61
but I loved real estate so much and I was very successful in real estate because I loved it.
62
I learned a lot from my father because I watched him work.
63
He was a workaholic.
64
He worked.
65
He loved to work.
66
He's a good man.
67
He was a tough guy.
68
Tough as hell, actually.
69
Now that I think back,
70
I don't know if you could even get away with that nowadays.
71
He was tough, but he was a good man, I'll tell you.
72
And he worked seven days a week.
73
He worked Saturdays, Sundays.
74
It didn't matter.
75
And I learned by watching him, he loved his life.
76
He loved what he was doing.
77
He had a great long-term marriage,
78
a long, long, many, many, many years.
79
He beat me on that one.
80
Now, I've minded very successful,
81
but they haven't lasted quite as long.
82
It was close to 70 years.
83
That was a long time.
84
I said, Pop, you beat me on that one.
85
But you know what I learned from him?
86
That he just loved life,
87
and all he did was work.
88
I see people that don't work hard, and they're miserable.
89
So go out and find.
90
But he loved what he was doing.
91
And you have to find something that you love.
92
And you have to follow your own instincts.
93
Listen to your parents.
94
They're very wise.
95
But you have to follow your instincts and your heart, your soul.
96
And you want to be the very,
97
very best you can be.
98
Treat every day like a home game against Auburn.
99
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.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
