Say "Yes"


34 seconds



“Yes” is a good word; actually it is a great word.

Yes opens doors.
     Yes causes things to grow.
          Yes teaches us new skills.

Is “yes” sometimes painful?

Yes. 

And look at what we learn from those experiences. 

Does “yes” sometimes lead to foolish things?

Yes. 

And look how we grow in spite of the foolishness.

Stephen Colbert gave a commencement address at Knox College in 2006.  In that speech he added this.

“As long as you have the strength, say ‘yes’.”

Cynics say no.

People of action say “Yes”.

And you get to decide all of the “yeses” in your life.
