[00:04.32]68. Stay True to Yourself
[00:07.94]And really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing. 
[00:12.29]I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, 
[00:19.42]is to be true to yourself. 
[00:22.18]Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. 
[00:25.48]I don't live in fear, I' free, I have no secrets. 
[00:29.77]And I know I'll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am. 
[00:35.24]So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. 
[00:41.44]I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. 
[00:44.59]I want to be a star. 
[00:47.51]I want to be in movies. 
[00:49.23]When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. 
[00:55.42]To quote the Pussycat Dolls. 
[00:57.72]How many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? It's not, it's "groupies". 
[01:03.48]But my idea of success is different today. 
[01:07.58]And as you grow, you'll realize the definition of success changes. 
[01:12.46]For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila.

[01:18.24]For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, 
[01:23.25]and not to give into peer pressure, 
[01:25.68]to try to be something that you're not. 
[01:28.22]To live your life as an honest and compassionate person; 
[01:31.71]to contribute in some way. 
[01:33.60]So to conclude my conclusion: 
[01:35.64]follow your passion, stay true to yourself. 
[01:38.66]Never follow anyone else's path, 
[01:44.79]unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, 
[01:48.39]and by all means you should follow that Don't give advice, 
[01:53.24]it will come back and bite you in the ass. 
[01:56.23]Don't take anyone's advice. 
[01:57.47]So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine. 
[02:02.73]And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, 
[02:06.50]but there's no need to worry. 
[02:08.64]The economy is booming. 
[02:09.91]the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. 
[02:14.38]It's gonna be great. 
[02:15.59]You've already survived a hurricane. 
[02:17.72]What else can happen to you? 
[02:19.51]And as I mentioned before, 
[02:21.28]some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. 
[02:26.38]And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. 
[02:30.26]Like, "Is it above sea level?" 
[02:33.00]So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, 
[02:37.32]in the common cement speech, 
[02:38.55]I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. 
[02:43.53]But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, 
[02:46.63]and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. 
[02:52.39]And you'll be drunk, most of the time. 
[02:56.00]So the Tulane class of 2009, I say congratulations and if you don't remember a thing I said today, 
[03:02.56]remember this: you're gonna be ok, dun-doom-doom-doom-doom, just dance.
