Robert De Niro has recently given a commencement speech to young graduates, preparing them for the mean streets out there.
The two-time Academy Award winner, while addressing the masses of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, said that they have discovered a talent and developed an ambition and they aren't just following dreams but are reaching for their destiny, E! Online reported.

The high school drop-out added that the kids made their choice and their path is clear but it won't be easy and they will have to keep on working.
