Denzel Washington – Fall Forward

“I was 20 years old, I was at my lowest point, but here’s the thing, I didn’t quit. I didn’t fall back, but I continued to fail, and fail, and fail, but it didn’t matter, because you know what? There’s an old saying, ‘You hang around the barbershop long enough, sooner or later you’re going to get a haircut.’ So you will catch a break, and I did catch a break.

“Last year, I did a play called Fences, on Broadway. It was at the same theater that I’d failed at first audition 30 years prior. Thomas Edison conducted 1000 failed experiments. Did you know that? I didn’t know that, because the 1001st was the light bulb.

“Fall forward. Sometimes, it’s the best way to figure out where you’re going. Never be discouraged, never hold back, give everything you got, and when you fall throughout life remember this: fall forward.”
