Do Work Son Last Speech: Be The Best you you can be Everyone in this room has the potential for greatness. Whether or not one chooses to unlock that potential is up to them. Anyone can tell you to “do your best” or “reach for the stars”‚ but just being told to do something doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to do it.
