Bruce Willis - Always Listen

 

Bruce Willis discusses how he overcame his childhood struggle with stuttering, and urges young people to be patient and never stop believing in themselves.

Transcript: 


"The hardest thing that I remember was being a kid stuttering. No plan, no help, just flailing wildly for a really long time, but, and by no plan of my own, a miracle happened to me. I had done a little bit of acting in school and at the YMCA, when I realized that when I was on stage my stutter disappeared. Be patient. Always listen. Offer encouragement. Give positive reinforcement always. A very wise woman named Eleanor Roosevelt once said that no one can ever make you feel bad about yourself without your permission, and my advice to the young people in this room is to never let anyone make you feel like an outcast, because you will never be an outcast."

A community is so much more than people sharing a space. It's a living, breathing network of connections and shared experiences. While it's usually defined as “a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common,” true community runs much deeper than that.
