So be gallant, be great, be gracious, and be grateful for the opportunities that you have. The opportunity to learn from the men who have walked before you and those who walk beside you.
My challenge to each of you, and to myself, is to continue to grow and to develop for the better.
The future is truly in our hands. Forget about long-term dreams. Let's be passionately dedicated to the pursuit of short-term goals. Micro-ambitious.
Work with passion and pride on what is in front of us. We don't know where we might end up. Or when it might end up.
Some of us will not cross paths again. Some of us will likely be seen on TV. Others in print. Some of us in prison.
But I've thoroughly enjoyed growing up with each and every one of you.
I don't know where it goes from here for any of us - for me, for you. But I wish you the very best in your journey, and I thank you all for being part of mine.
Wherever we go and whatever we do, may we always be friends when we meet again."
