Congratulations!
today is your day.
you`re off to Great Places!
You`re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
you`re on your own. and you know what you know.
and YOU are the guy who`ll decide where to go.
and you may not find any
you`ll want to go down.
in that case, of course,
you`ll head straight out of town.
Out there things can happen
...
and when things start to happen,
don`t worry. don`t stew.
just go right along.
you`ll start happening too.
OH! THE PLACES YOU`LL GO!
...
wherever you fly, you`ll be best of the best.
wherever you go, you`ll top all the rest.
except when you don`t.
because, sometimes, you won`t.
I`m sorry to say so
but, sadly, it`s true
that Bang-ups
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.
...
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they`re darked.
...
Do you dare to stay out? Do u dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...(or right-and-three-quarters?)
...
toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the phone to ring,
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
NO!
That`s not for you!
Somehow you`ll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You`ll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
Oh, the places you`ll go! there is fun to be done!
There are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You`ll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don`t.
because, sometimes, they won`t.
I`m afraid that some times
you`ll play lonely games too.
games u can`t win
`cause u`ll play against you.
All Alone!
And when you`re alone, there`s a very good chance
you`ll meet things that scare u right out of your pants.
...
On and on you will hike.
and I know you`ll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU`LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
...get on your way!
