Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you
I will not do that
And i'll tell you why from time to time in the years to come
I hope you will be treated unfairly
So that you will come to know the value of justice
I hope that you will suffer betrayal
Because that will teach you the importance of loyalty sorry to say
But i hope you will be lonely from time to time
So that you don't take friends for granted
I wish you bad luck again from time to time
So that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life
And understand that your success is not completely deserved
And that the failure of others is not completely deserved
Either i hope youwill be ignored
So you know the importance of listening to others
And i hope you will have just enough paying to learn compassion
Whether i wish these things or not they're going to happen
And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes
Now commencement speakers are also expected to give some advice
They give grand advice
And they give some useful tips
The most common grand device they give is for you to be yourself
It is an odd piece of advice to give people dresressed identically
But you should
You should be yourself
But you should understand what that means unless
You are perfect
It does not mean
Don't make any changes in certain sense
You should not be yourself
You should try to become something better
People say be yourself
Because they want you to resist the impulse to conform to what others want you to be
Which you can't be yourself
If you don't learn who you are
And you can't learn who you are unless
You think about it
The greek philosophher ccctities said
The unexamined life is not worth living
And while just do it maybe a good model for some things
It's not a good model
When it's trying to figure out how to live your life
That is before you in one important clue to living a good life
Is to not to try to live the good life
The best way to lose se the values
That are central to who you are is frankly not to think about them at all
So that's the deep advice
Now some tips as you get ready to go to your new school
Over the last couple of years
I've gotten to know many of you young men pretty well
And i know you are good guys
But you are also privileged young men
If you weren't privileged when you came here
Youpriprivilge ged
Because you have been here
My advice is don't act like it when you get to your new school walk up
And introduce yourself to the person who is raking the leas shovelling the snow or empty the trash
Learn their name and call them by their name during your time at the school
Another piece of advice when you passed by people
You don't recognize on the walks
Smile look them in the eye and say hello
The worst thing that will happen
Is that je'll become known as the young man who smiles and says hello
And that is not a bad thing to start with enough advice
I would like to end by reading some important lyrics
I cited the embicephphilosopher secrities earlier
These lyrics are from the great american philosophbob b
Ywen y're almost fifty years old
He wrote them for his son jessie who he was missing
While he was on tour at least
The hopes that a parent might have for a son and for a daughter
They're also good goals for a son and a dauuter
The wishes are beaubeautithey're timeless
They're universal
So these are lyrics from forever young
I've ve yelling
May god bless you and keep you always they wishes all come true
May you always do for others and let others do for you
And they you build a latter to the stars and climb on every wrong
And may you stay for every young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth and see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous stand upright and be strong
Or may you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation when the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be song
And may you stay for every young
Thank you
