the best advice ever for graduates
TRANSCRIPT
Hats off to graduates! Whether you are earning a diploma, a program certificate, a degree or even a cool new professional title,
your hard work deserves some warm, thoughtful words of encouragement.
The future lies before you like a field of driven snow.
Be careful how you tread it, for every step will show.
Your schooling may be over, butremember that your education
still continues.
What lies behind you and what lies before you are tiny matters
compared to what lies within you.
Don’t judge each day by theharvest you reap, but by the
seeds that you plant.
You cannot help but learn more as you take the world into
your hands. Take it up reverently,
for it is an old piece of clay, with millions of thumbprints
on it.
It takes courage to go out into the world and become who
you really are.
Wise are those who learn that the
bottom line doesn’t always have
to be their top priority.
What you are is God’s gift to you. What
you become is your gift to God.
Graduation marks the beginning of a
new chapter in your life.
It marks the first day of your future, and
where you will take the lessons
you have learned and apply them to a whole new
phase in your life.
May your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to
the windows of your opportunities, and to the most
special places your heart has ever known.
You are educated.Your certification is in your degree. You may
think of it as the ticket
to the good life,but think of it as your
ticket to change the world.
If you can imagine it,
you can achieve it. If you can dream
it, you can become it.
Take courage to follow your heart and intuition.
They somehow already know what you truly
want to become.
Everything else is secondary.
Don't let anyone else take the measure
of your worth and capabilities.
Always stand proud in who you are!
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather,
always bring your own sunshine.
When the day is overand you have done your best,
wait the results in peace.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at
the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."
The horizon leans forward, offering you
space to place new steps of
change.
As you face the future,
always remember…A
positive attitude is a
powerful force.... it can't be
stopped!
Courageous risks help you grow, allow you to
face your fears, and make you better than
you think you are.
Each day offers the promise of new possibilities.
Rise confidently and embrace them wholeheartedly.
They hold great power.
The winds of grace are always blowing,
but it is you that must
raise your sails!
Integrity comes when character is tested; keep true
and never be afraid of doing what is right.
Congratulations and best wishes for a successful
future.
