No grades at stake, gentlemen.
Just take a stroll.

1:01:12
There it is.
1:01:23
- I don't know but I've been told
- I don't know but I've been told

1:01:27
- Doin'poetry is old
- Doin'poetry is old

1:01:30
Left, left,
left-right-left.

1:01:33
Left, left,
left-right-left.

1:01:37
Left, halt!
1:01:39
Thank you, gentlemen.
1:01:42
If you noticed, everyone started off
with their own stride, their own pace.

1:01:46
Mr Pitts, taking his time.
He knew he'll get there one day.

1:01:50
Mr Cameron. You could see him thinking,
"Is this right?

1:01:52
It might be right. It might be right.
I know that... Maybe not. I don't know."

1:01:55
Mr Overstreet,
driven by a deeper force.

1:01:59
Yes. We know that. All right.
1:02:02
Now, I didn't bring them up here
to ridicule them.

1:02:04
I brought them up here to illustrate
the point of conformity:

1:02:06
the difficulty in maintaining
your own beliefs in the face of others.

1:02:10
Now, those of you...
I see the look in your eyes like
"I would've walked differently."

1:02:14
Well, ask yourselves
why you were clapping.

1:02:18
Now, we all have a great need
for acceptance.

1:02:20
But you must trust that your beliefs
are unique, your own...

1:02:23
even though others may think them odd
or unpopular.

1:02:25
Even though the herd may go,
"That's bad."

1:02:30
Robert Frost said,
"Two roads diverged in a wood...

1:02:32
and l, I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference."

1:02:37
Now, I want you to find
your own walk right now.

1:02:40
Your own way of striding, pacing.
Any direction. Anything you want.

1:02:44
Whether it's proud,
whether it's silly, anything.

1:02:46
Gentlemen, the courtyard is yours.
1:02:51
You don't have to perform.
Just make it for yourself.

1:02:56
Mr Dalton? You be joining us?
1:02:59
Exercising the right not to walk.
