Justice, youve got to make sure that youre also taking advantage of the opportunities that you currently have. But that brings me to one last piece of advice for young people, and that is, think about more than just yourself. [applause] think about how you can have an impact beyond yourself. The people who i know who are really happy and successful as they get older, its because they have an impact on something other than just their own situation. Theyre not just thinking about how do i get mine. [applause] theyre thinking about how does everybody get their fair share.

Eternal god, we give you thanks for giving us another day. The house has come to the close of an eventful week and we approach a weekend during which many members of this assembly will gather to remember a historic event in selma, alabama. 50 years ago, brave men and women americans of all races, colors and faiths walked together to help guarantee freedoms that were still denied men and women in alabama.
