I almost didn’t __1__ but a few days later I saw Ivan, a former teacher, and __2__ him about Cornell. He said, “If you get in, then you go. You can do it.” His words made all the __3__. I applied, and was accepted in Law.

Too often we think it’s our job to __4__ people from the pain of failure and defeat. We think we must __5__ how bad the economy is and how __6__ the job market is. I say there are enough pessimists in the world.

The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say “I believe in you.” “Follow your __9__ and live your purpose.” “The job market is not great __10__ I believe you’ll find the right job for you.” “We’ve hit a lot of __11__ but we’ll get the project finished.”

Today I want to encourage you to be a(an)__12__. So often the difference between success and failure is belief. And so often that belief is instilled(¹àÊä) in us by someone who __13__ us. Today decide to be that person who instills a positive belief in someone who needs to hear your __14__ words. Uplift(ʹ……¾«Éñ¸ßÕÇ) someone who is feeling down. Fuel your team with your positive energy. Remind others to focus on what is __15__ rather than what seems impossible.
