20. Timo Cruz's Speech
From Coach Carter (2005)
Delivered by Rick Gonzalez
Timo Cruz: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir, I just wanna say thank you. You saved my life.
(To be continued...)
A/N: I've heard of this film, but I don't think I've ever watched it... I really liked this speech, because it speaks to what we fear the most in an unconventional way that's quite awe-inspiring...
