his young son. “My son was had to write a report for school,” Winkler remembers. “He couldn’t do it. It was smudgy. I said ev- erything to him that was said to me, ‘Oh, come on, you’re lazy. You’re so verbal. You’re so good with adults. Oh, come on. You’re just not living up to your potential.’ But he couldn’t do it. We had him tested, and everything they said about my son during his diagnosis was true about me. “I wasn’t a Dummer Hund. I wasn’t stupid. I wasn’t lazy. I had something with a name. I was dyslexic. Unbeliev- able. Now I knew. It had a name. Then I thought, ‘Okay, I’ve got it; I’ve got to learn how to live with it.’ And I wonder that if maybe I didn’t have the struggle of my personal learning challenge, maybe I wouldn’t be here today with you in this room.” Winkler’s entry into book writing came at the urging of a friend who thought the actor’s ability to overcome the many obstacles associated with his dyslexia would be uplifting and motivational for children. “We have to teach our children how they learn, not what we think they should learn,” said Winkler. “Because I go into classrooms and I say to children, ‘Anybody know what they’re great at?’ Every hand goes up from kinder- garten to 12th grade. One kid said to me, ‘I am great at breathing.’ One said, ‘I am great at logarithms. Every child knows what they’re great at, and we need every single thing that they are great at in order to keep our city, your city, our country great, our world great and free. It is so important. I say to every child I meet, ‘You have greatness inside you, and your job is to figure out what that is, dig it out, and give it to the world as a gift.’ “I am here to tell you this is what I’ve learned in my life,” said Winkler. “Every single one of you in this room is powerful. Some of you haven’t tasted your power. Some of you are afraid of your power. Some of you live very comfortably with your power. But I am here to tell you that if there is something that you need to do and you talk yourself out of it like I do, now is the time to try. Now is the time to try. Now is the time to just release that wonderful power in you, that wonderful imagination that you keep putting off. “I say this because you don’t know what you can ac- complish until you put one foot in front of the other,” he continued. “Here I was, dreaming about being on tele- vision. I then got to be the Fonz. I got 50,000 letters a week. After I’d left the show behind, I became the hon- orary chairman of the Special Arts Festival in Los Ange- les. I’m walking through these children. Some of them are blind, deaf. They are in wheelchairs. They’ve got crutches, but they are all artists. Every one of them is an artist. I’m walking through, hugging everyone, and I hear behind me, ‘Fonz’. I turn and say hello to this little girl, and her mom has now dissolved into tears. I said, ‘Can I help you?’
