3. 0:10Gomez. There are days when your dreams
4. 0:13haven't come true or you're upset by the
5. 0:16things you can't do. If you've lost or
6. 0:19failed or cried just a bit, you're tired
7. 0:22of waiting, ready to
8. 0:26quit. like that shiny new bike you
9. 0:29couldn't ride. And it didn't matter how
10. 0:31hard you tried. You couldn't pedal and
11. 0:34you couldn't steer and you couldn't get
12. 0:36that bike into gear. Then when you
13. 0:39thought you were on the right track, you
14. 0:41popped a wheelie and fell on your
15. 0:46back. And now you won't ride. No way.
16. 0:49Not never. No riding for you. You'll
17. 0:53walk forever.
18. 0:55Don't give up now. There's a major game
19. 0:59changer, a most amazing thought
20. 1:03rearranger. Someone to show you how good
21. 1:05you can get. Now,
22. 1:08introducing the magical
23. 1:16yet. With this yet's magic, you can
24. 1:19begin to see that you're going beyond
25. 1:22where you've been. There are so many
26. 1:25things that you've learned to do when
27. 1:27you didn't know the yet was with you.
28. 1:30Like when you babbled before you could
29. 1:31talk, or how you crawled before you
30. 1:34could
31. 1:34walk. Yet's a dreamer, a schemer, a
32. 1:38hoper, a tryer, a maker, a doer, a got
33. 1:43to fly
34. 1:44higher. This yet finds a way even when
35. 1:47you don't. And yet knows you will when
36. 1:50you think you won't.
37. 1:53Like that shiny new bike that you
38. 1:55couldn't ride. Hop right back on with
39. 1:58the Yet by your
40. 1:59side. Yet doesn't mind warm-ups, fixes,
41. 2:03and flops, doovers, redos, stumbles, and
42. 2:07stops. Yet knows there's mistakes, some
43. 2:10big and some small. With yet, you're
44. 2:13sure to get over them
45. 2:15all. Play the kazoo or play the bassoon.
46. 2:18Jam with the yet, and you'll soon be in
47. 2:21tune.
48. 2:27[Music]
49. 2:41Try skateboarding tricks like the Olly
50. 2:43heel flip. This yet can get to the
51. 2:46championship.
52. 2:48Tongue twisters twisted your tongue in a
53. 2:50knot. Yet says, "Keep trying and
54. 2:54practice a
55. 2:55lot." Six slippery snails slid
56. 3:02slowly. A big bug bit the beetle a
57. 3:05little
58. 3:07bit. Be patient. You can't do it all
59. 3:11overnight. Some things take days,
60. 3:14months, or years to get right.
61. 3:19But if you keep leaping, dreaming,
62. 3:22wishing, waiting, learning, trying,
63. 3:27missing, with the yet as your guide
64. 3:29along the way, you'll do all the things
65. 3:32you can't do today.
66. 3:35[Music]
67. 3:42Now you're bolder, braver, starting to
68. 3:44see with yet you can get where you want
69. 3:47to
70. 3:48be. You finally did it, yet knew you
71. 3:52could. You're not just writing. You're
72. 3:54getting quite
73. 3:56good. But don't stop now. You've got so
74. 3:59much to do. The good news is this yet
75. 4:02grows with
76. 4:03you. So no matter how big or old you may
77. 4:07get, you'll never outgrow. You'll never
78. 4:10forget. You can always believe in the
79. 4:13magic of
80. 4:18yet. The end. Thanks for watching.
