I am sorry that her admittedly awkward beginning put you off her speech. The message i heard was this is hard work but if you have a dream, keep at that work and don't get discouraged by the work or by naysayers and you too can be sitting her instead of at home but it is not going to come easily to you. No one is going to walk up to you on that sofa and hand you this. I do not think she was speaking to the audience of spectators but to those who have a dream.

She certainly had her share of naysayers. When she was in college, playing in piano bars and trying to get started, some of her classmates created a Facebook page, "You'll Never Be Famous, Stefani Germanotti"-- featuring cruel taunts, nasty comments, and photos of flyers advertising her gigs stomped on with dirty boots. I can't understand mindsets like that. I knew people in college and grad school that I didn't like and/or whose skills I questioned, but I kept my opinions private and would never publicly crush someone's dreams, no matter how much I disliked him or her.

Laura, gradually improving
