All right, so what is today's talk about then? It's about my childhood dreams and how I have achieved them. I've been very fortunate that way. How I believe I've been able to enable the dreams of others, and to some degree, lessons learned.

And as you get older, you may find that "enabling the dreams of others" thing is even more fun.
