We think the following excerpts from this incredible young man's speech are absolutely inspiring, and that all parents should share these words of wisdom with their children:
"Forget about having long-term dreams. Let's be passionately dedicated to the pursuit of short-term goals. Micro-ambitious. Work with pride on what is in front of us. We don't know where we might end up. Or when it might end up.
"None of us get out of life alive so be gallant, be great, be gracious, be grateful for the opportunities you have."
