Talented
singer Beyonce admonished the new graduates to ignore naysayers and not allow
failure to discourage them from trying again.
Beyoncé
Knowles-Carter also known as Beyonce offered some words of wisdom during a
candid commencement speech she delivered to 2020 graduates.
In a video
shared online, Beyonce highlighted the need for 2020 graduates to be self-aware
and to be dogged in the pursuit of their goals.
In her
inspirational speech, the formation singer recounted that she has won 24 Grammy
but not everyone is aware she was nominated and lost the Academy Award 46
times.
“Not enough
Black women had a seat at the table, so I had to chop down that wood and build
my own table. Then I had to invite the best there was to have a seat. That
meant hiring women, men, outsiders, underdogs. And I’ve been very proud to
provide them with a place at my table.”
“Put in that
work,” was quoted saying is her secret to success.
“There may be
more failures than victories. Please don’t ever feel entitled to win!
“I have been
blessed to win 24 Grammys but I lost 46 times that meant rejection 46 times.
Surrender to the cards you are dealt! Losing can be the biggest motivator to
get you even bigger wins.”
