Quick and concise, excellent message. Short enough to capture a teenager's attention. All you Moms out there, share this with your kids. I'm posting it on my kids' Facebooks!

Good, but I believe he missed one key element: You have to have the audacity to believe you just might succeed. You have to have at least a hint of the idea that you have whatever it takes, which I believe everyone does; but YOU have to have the faith that YOU have it.

I thought this was self-evident, but hey.

YOU NEED HARD WORK, PERSISTENCE AND SO ON TO SUCCEED. CALL THE PRESSES, WE NEED TO GET THIS OUT TO THE WORLD.

Nah, I kid, it's good advice. Just... obvious advise.
