--> 00:12:36,129 I learned that if I mention some doubt 581 00:12:36,129 --> 00:12:38,039 I learned that if I mention some doubt people might have before I ask the 582 00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:38,049 people might have before I ask the 583 00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:39,960 people might have before I ask the question people are getting their trust 584 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:39,970 question people are

Martin Luther King jr. why because in my 662 00:14:12,190 --> 00:14:12,200 Martin Luther King jr. why because in my 663 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,770 Martin Luther King jr. why because in my research I found the people who really 664 00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:14,780 research I found the people who really 665 00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:16,540 research I found the people who really change the world who change the way we 666 00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:16,550 change the world who change the way we 667 00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:18,910 change the world who change the way we live and with the way we think are the 668 00:14:18,910 --> 00:14:18,920 live and with the way we think are the 669 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,980 live and with the way we think are the people who were met with the initial and 670 00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:20,990 people who were met with the initial and 671 00:14:20,990 --> 00:14:23,260 people who were met with the initial and often violent rejections people like 672 00:14:23,260 --> 00:14:23,270 often violent rejections people like 673 00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:25,540 often violent rejections people like Martin Luther King jr. like Muhammad 674 00:14:25,540 --> 00:14:25,550 Martin Luther King jr. like Muhammad 675 00:14:25,550 --> 00:14:27,670 Martin Luther King jr. like Muhammad Gandhi Nelson Mandela or even Jesus 676 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:27,680 Gandhi Nelson Mandela or even Jesus 677 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,280 Gandhi Nelson Mandela or even Jesus Christ these people did not let 678 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:30,290 Christ these people did not let 679 00:14:30,290 --> 00:14:32,380 Christ these people did not let rejection define them they let their 680 00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:32,390 rejection define them they let their 681 00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:35,350 rejection define them they let their only reaction after rejection define 682 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:35,360 only reaction after rejection define 683 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,350 only reaction after rejection define themselves and they embrace rejection 684 00:14:38,350 --> 00:14:38,360 themselves and they embrace rejection 685 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,260 themselves and they embrace rejection and we don't have to be those people to 686 00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:41,270 and we don't have to be those people to 687 00:14:41,270 --> 00:14:43,320 and we don't have to be those people to learn about rejection and in my case 688 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:43,330 learn about rejection and in my case 689 00:14:43,330 --> 00:14:46,840 learn about rejection and in my case rejection was my curse was my boogeyman 690 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:46,850 rejection was my curse was my boogeyman 691 00:14:46,850 --> 00:14:49,750 rejection was my curse was my boogeyman it has bothered me my whole life because
