Yes is a tiny word that can do big things.
Say it often.
There’s a second thing I want you to do: Do not be afraid to fail. And DO NOT be afraid to succeed.
There’s an old Italian phrase I like, it’s used to describe especially daring circus performers–they do the salto mortale. It means they do a somersault, on a tightrope, without a net.
Graduates, do to do this. Be brave. Work without a net. I promise you, you will land on your feet.
