A special word to my friends graduating Baylor University, Carnegie Mellon University and my new friend from Tarleton State University.

Congratulations, you have achieved what many haven`t.

All your life you will hear people speak but will discover that few actually have something to say.

Meaning the words they use most of the time may be polite and kind but will lack anything of value.

I have something of value to say to you.

Do you know what the enemy of your potential is?

Its your last success.

Why, because it tempts you to stop achieving.

Think about it, 90 - 95 percent of the students who graduate this year, will say I have succeeded.

They will say I have achieved and will stop, there by limiting thier potential because they have set out to do what they have strived for.

Steve jobs created an iphone and many said wow your the man, you have achieved, his reply I have something called an Ipad.

While many did not debate him publicly, it is known there was internal debate at apple on the size.

Steve Jobs reply: folks were going to do this and it became one of the most common and widely used successful items in the world.

One of the things that made Steve Jobs an incredible inventor is his ability to move from success to succes.

He never let his last success tempt him to stop achieving his potential.

I encourage you to move from success to success, never let your last success stop or limit your potential.

R.W. Fraga Presiding Prelate and your friend
