Just in these two minutes, THIS THE MOST I EVER BEEN INSPIRED! THANK YOU DENZEL!
.
.
.
“I am particularly proud and happy about the young FILMMAKERS, ACTORS, singers, WRITERS, PRODUCERS that are coming up behind my generation, in particular Barry Jenkins @bandrybarry, “Young people understand, this young man made 10, 15, 20 short films before he got the opportunity to make #Moonlight so never give up."
.
.
"Without commitment you'll never start, but more importantly without consistency you'll never finish."
.
"It's not easy. If it were easy, there'd be no Kerry Washington @kerrywashington. If it were easy, there'd be no Taraji Henson @tarajiphenson. If it were easy, there'd be no Octavia Spencer @therealoctaviaspencer. But not only that, if it were easy, there'd be no Viola Davis @violadavis. If it were easy, there'd be no Mykelti T. Williamson @mykeltiwmson. No Stephen McKinley Henderson @stephenmckinleyhenderson. No Russell Hornsby #RussellHornsby. If it were easy, there'd be no Denzel Washington #DenzelWashington. .
.
So, keep working. Keep striving. Never give up.
Fall down seven times, get up eight.
Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship.
So, keep moving, keep growing, keep learning. See you at work."
.
If it were easy, there'd be no ERIK MCKAY #stoRAGE

You know when a speech moves you, when you are slumped laying in bed watching the speech on the phone and you are just in the laziest of position but yet you are compelled to clap as if you are wide awake alert and sitting in that audience. When something is so moving you involuntarily do as if physically encouraged.

He just slapped me with his speech. I run a blog with a friend and we have difficulties finding people to work with us and even photographers we know don't respond when we contact them. We are learning our biggest lesson now : DO AND CREATE YOUR VISION BY YOURSELF ! Don't wait for people to help you create it, because they will never help you when you start from scratch. We won't give up Mr. Washington .

This man says it, in under 2 minutes and a half he says what people need to hear, what I need to hear. I can't belive this, it must be shown to people who gave up. it must be shown again and again at people who choose the easy way (the wrong way). This is a good stuff. Denzel I'll never forget that, Thanks You.
