00:00.440 --> 00:03.960
I have a dream that one day

00:05.540 --> 00:07.960
this nation will rise up

00:09.410 --> 00:11.860
live out the true meaning of its creed .

00:12.240 --> 00:15.690
Mhm . The ultimate measure of a man is

00:15.690 --> 00:17.912
not where he stands in times of comfort

00:17.912 --> 00:20.023
and convenience , but where he stands

00:20.023 --> 00:22.246
in times of challenge and controversy .

00:22.246 --> 00:24.246
This means to me that being in your

00:24.246 --> 00:24.190
comfort zone never truly allows you to

00:24.190 --> 00:26.079
progress in life . It only breeds

00:26.079 --> 00:28.190
complacency . You truly know yourself

00:28.190 --> 00:30.246
and find yourself when you're limits

00:30.246 --> 00:32.357
are put to the test . I will continue

00:32.357 --> 00:34.468
to dream by instilling this mentality

00:34.468 --> 00:36.634
into my everyday life , along with the

00:36.634 --> 00:38.800
values that the Air Force's top . Let

00:38.800 --> 00:41.180
no man pull you so low as to hate them .

00:41.190 --> 00:43.080
Be sure to move with dignity ,

00:43.090 --> 00:45.600
discipline , and integrity . Using only

00:45.600 --> 00:48.110
the weapon of love . I will continue to

00:48.110 --> 00:50.610
dream . We have one life , one goal .

00:50.620 --> 00:53.600
One master the knowledge itself and

00:53.600 --> 00:55.822
this fruitful life that we live . There

00:55.822 --> 00:58.590
are those who test us , even those who

00:58.590 --> 01:01.200
try to pull us down so far to where we

01:01.200 --> 01:03.980
may hate them at that moment . They

01:03.980 --> 01:06.270
become the master . The master of your

01:06.270 --> 01:09.250
emotions . Be resilient , show your

01:09.250 --> 01:11.472
compassion . I will continue to drink .

01:12.540 --> 01:14.707
Do not let anyone take you out of your

01:14.707 --> 01:16.929
character . The time and energy used to

01:16.929 --> 01:18.873
hate someone just isn't worth it .

01:18.873 --> 01:21.300
Despite the situations we may be in or

01:21.300 --> 01:23.830
circumstances that we face stay true to

01:23.830 --> 01:25.886
yourself . I will continue the dream

01:28.940 --> 01:31.107
also the measure of a man is not where

01:31.107 --> 01:33.329
he stands in moments of convenience and

01:33.329 --> 01:35.496
comfort , but where he stands at times

01:35.496 --> 01:38.440
of challenge , controversial . This

01:38.440 --> 01:40.950
quote is very sentimental . It's very

01:40.950 --> 01:42.839
easy to display the best parts of

01:42.839 --> 01:45.250
yourself when there is no adversity .

01:45.640 --> 01:48.370
However , it is much more difficult to

01:48.370 --> 01:50.460
stand up and persevere in times of

01:50.460 --> 01:52.590
intense pressure . I will continue to

01:52.590 --> 01:55.280
dream by judging people by their moral

01:55.280 --> 01:57.280
compass rather than by the color of

01:57.280 --> 02:00.560
their skin . I will continue to drink .

02:02.540 --> 02:05.050
I will let no person pull me so low . I

02:05.050 --> 02:07.161
still hate them . I will continue the

02:07.161 --> 02:09.161
dream . I will continue to dream by

02:09.161 --> 02:11.328
looking at a person's character versus

02:11.328 --> 02:13.660
their color , their sexuality or their

02:13.660 --> 02:15.604
beliefs . I will continue to drink

02:18.070 --> 02:18.850
the dream .
