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.
1:03:03
Thank you, Mr Dalton.
You just illustrated the point.

1:03:06
Swim against the stream.
1:03:19
Todd?
1:03:22
- Hey.
- Hey.

1:03:24
- What's going on?
- Nothing.

1:03:29
- Today's my birthday.
- Is today your birthday?

1:03:32
- Happy birthday.
- Thanks.

1:03:34
- What'd you get?
- My parents gave me this.

1:03:38
- Isn't this the same desk set...
- Yeah. Yeah. They gave me
the same thing as last year.

1:03:44
- Oh.
- Oh.

1:03:48
Maybe they thought
you needed another one.

1:03:51
Maybe they weren't thinkin'
about anything at all.

1:03:57
Uh, the funny thing is about this is
l, I didn't even like it the first time.
