A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning.

Openness isn't the end. It's the beginning.
Those who matter don't mind, and those who mind don't matter.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined...

Do not follow where the path may lead.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.
If you can dream it, you can achieve it.
