Denzel Washington had a 1.8 GPA when his university asked him to leave. Years later he stood at a podium and told 5,000 Ivy League graduates: "If you don't fail, you're not even trying."
March 1975. He'd switched majors three times at Fordham: pre-med, pre-law, journalism. Cardiac morphogenesis was the course that broke him. He couldn't pronounce it. He couldn't pass it.
He was 20 years old, sitting in his mother's beauty shop in Mount Vernon, when an elderly woman under a hair dryer pointed at him and said he was going to travel the world and speak to millions of people.
He went back to Fordham and switched majors a fourth time. Theater.
Two years later he played Othello as a senior. Graduated 1977. American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Film debut 1981. Best Supporting Actor for Glory in 1989. Best Actor for Training Day in 2001. Tony in 2010. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2025.
In 2011, Penn picked him as commencement speaker. The Oscars and the Tony made him eligible. His son Malcolm, a sophomore studying film, made him the actual pick. The university secretary called him their first choice, no debate.
The speech itself is about failure. He told the graduates he once had a 1.8 GPA. He failed an audition for a musical because he couldn't sing. He delivered it all in the cadence his father used in the pulpit. Reggie Jackson's 2,600 strikeouts. Edison's 1,000 failed experiments. The "fall forward" refrain ran the entire 22 minutes.
A single YouTube upload of the speech has crossed 35 million views. Every motivational compilation runs it. Every business school plays it.
The woman in the beauty shop said millions. She was off by two orders of magnitude.

Not Argentina - the Western Hemisphere block led by the US.
All sea routes will be blocked to Yuan based traffic.

A man bet on a record high temperature in Paris on Polymarket then walked up to the official thermometer at Charles de Gaulle Airport with a blowdryer.
Once the thermometer hit 21°C he cashed out his bet winning almost $37,000.
Plan accordingly....
