What I will take from that speech is not to settle. Most of my life so far I have went with the flow so I wouldnt cause problems. I have done many things that I didn't want to do or things that didn't interest me, but for the sake of whoever wanted me to do it, I did it anyway. Don't settle on anything. That is what I am taking with me in my current stage of life. With jobs, school, relationships etc. It has become an important part of my life and saying that I want to live by. I don't want to settle for anything that is the right thing to do. I want to do what I want and what is important in my morals, values, and goals.
I also took from his speech to never give up. He didn't graduate from college, was fired from his job, has cancer and was still successful in his life. This to me is inspirational. I now know that nothing can bring me down or take me of my course to success but myself. Giving up is the only thing that will cause me to be unsuccessful. Looking at his life and comparing it to mine, I don't see myself having anything durastic happen like his did, but I can still use it for the little things like sports games, a career, or finishing university.
