Dear Dr. Brown,
Thank you for your morning motivation. The part where you said ‘fail forward’ really resonated with me because usually I feel like failure is the end of the world but now I am thinking about it in a new light. Failure is just an opportunity to get better. So thank you for saying that. – Nasrin Ali
 
Dear Dr. Brown,
Thank you for your encouraging and motivational speeches, that there is always room for growth but that room should never be taken for granted.

Dear Dr. Brown,
I love your speeches. Your speeches really motivate me to start moving each and every day, to always use time WISELY and to strive to do my very BEST. When I heard your announcement from today, one phrase really stood out to me. That phrase is, “Don’t envy people, emulate them.” This relates to how I am at times because I always seem to want to be able to succeed this or that and the 3rd. But, what I really need to do is be better, get up, stop being lazy. GET UP!!! – Awungcha Khumbah
