Let me take a moment to address my dear students who graduated tonight:
Teaching you over the past two years has been a joy and an inspiration. It hasn’t always been easy or pleasant; it never is. But on balance, you have proven to be hardworking, funny, resourceful, creative, and smart. Best of all, willing to see yourselves as changing and growing, rather than stubbornly, steadfastly resisting new ideas and possibilities.
As Conan O’Brien said in his farewell speech on The Tonight Show, “Nobody in life gets exactly what they want. But if you work hard, and be kind, amazing things will happen.”
Work hard. Be kind. And keep in touch.
If you haven’t seen it, here’s J.K. Rowling’s commencement speech at Harvard. Enjoy.
Part Two, after the jump.
