Are you scared of change? – Motivational video [Feat Peter Dinklage]
Ever tried, Ever failed..
No matter, try again, fail again, fail better
I had so many dream of where I wanted to go, who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do
You have your own story to tell?
Feeder companies, I wanted to start with classmates
Movies I wanted to be in, directors I wanted to work with, stories I
needed to tell
you
I packed the life that I knew with socks and toothbrush
into my backpack
And I slept on couch after couch after couch after couch at friend’s apartment in New York
Until I wore out the rent paid-maintenance welcome
I didn’t want a day job. I was an actor. I was a writer. I had to get a day job
I dusted piano piano store on Buzz’s Street for five months
I worked on the property of a shakespearean scholar for a year plane weeds and removing Visa. [I]
went on unemployment
Once but for not for long I coudnt handle the guilt
Eventually [I] was able to pay rent for a spot on the floor of an apartment on the other side
But my roommate had to break down and [disappear]
I helped hanging paintings at [galleries] paintings that inspire inspire you to think I could do that
and then
finally
After two years job and couch surfing [I] got a job
In application process
As a data enter, [err] at a place called professional examination services
And I stayed for six years six years
From the age of 23 to 29 while they loved me there I was funny I
Smoked in the loading docks with the guys from the mailroom, and we shared how hungover we all were.
Called them sick almost every Friday because I was that late the night before I hated that job and I clung to that job
Because of that job I could afford my own place
My dream of running a theater company with my friend and fellow, Bennington Graduate Ian Bell had died
I had only the one window I
Myself could not look out the window. It was it was quite high no occasion
when I was 29
I told myself the next acting job I get. No matter what it came. I will go on
for better or worse
Be working actor
but something good happened, [I]
Got a low-paying theater job in a play called imperfect love
Which led [to] a film called 13 moons with the same writer?
Which led to other roles which led to other roles, and I’ve worked as an actor ever since I?
Didn’t know that would happen
at 29 walking away from Data processing [I]
was terrified
Ten years in a place without [he] six years of a job some stuff him, maybe I was afraid of change
Are you?
But this made me very hungry literally
I couldn’t be lazy
I couldn’t be
and
So a 29 in a very long last I was in the company of the actors and [writers] and directors
[I] thought of that first year
That first day
after school I
Was I by their stuff raise the rest of your life to meet you?
Don’t search for defining moment because they will never come
The moment that define you have already happened, and they will already happen again
And passes so quickly, so please bring each other along with you
You you just get a bit derailed
But soon something starts to happen trust me the rhythm sets in
Just try not to wait until [like] me. You’re 29 before you find it
And if you are that’s fine, too some of us never find it
But you will I promise you you are already here
You’ll find your rhythm or continue the one you have already found
Don’t wait until they tell you you [are] ready get in there
The world might say you are not allowed to yet, I?
Waited a long [time] out in the world before [I] gave myself permission to [fail]
Please don’t even bother asking
Don’t bother telling the world you are ready show it do it
What it Beckett say?
ever tried ever failed
No matter try again
fail again
fail better
We burn very brightly please don’t ever stop
The World is yours
Treat everyone Kindly and light up the night
Maybe I was afraid of change are you?
you
