00:00 Hey bartender, you assume that I cannot drink a margarita, so you don't serve me a margarita,
00:05 so I don't drink a margarita. Your assumption becomes reality. And parents, you assume that
00:12 I cannot live on my own, so you don't encourage me to live on my own, so I don't live on my own.
00:17 Coach, you assume that I cannot hit harder, so you don't train me to hit harder, so I don't hit
00:24 harder. And teacher, you assume that I cannot learn Shakespeare, so you don't teach me Shakespeare,
00:30 Old MacDonald had a farm, so I don't learn Shakespeare. But hey, if all your assumptions
00:38 become reality, then assume that I can drink a margarita, you serve me a margarita, so I drink
00:47 a margarita. Assume that I can live on my own, so I live on my own. Assume that I can hit harder,
00:55 so I hit harder. Assume that I can learn Shakespeare, so what fool would these mortals be?
01:03 I learned f***ing Shakespeare. You assume I can't swear, right? Assume that I can do that job,

01:16 So maybe I will.
01:18 I will.
