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.
The only thing that ever sat its way to success was a hen.
The best advice I can give anybody about going out into the world is this: Don’t do it. I have been out there. It is a mess.
My dear terrified graduates, you are about to enter the most uncertain and thrilling period of your lives.
Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path then by all means you should follow that.
Graduation: A ritual event where they award you a diploma, in the hope that you have learned enough to be able to read it.
Struggling to decide what to do after graduation is, and always will be, a sort of rite of passage to the next phase of your life.
Don’t ever rob a bank. Enjoy life. Have fun. Choose to be happy now; don’t wait until you’re ‘successful.’
Now that you’ve graduated, just remember: Bosses don’t usually accept notes from your mother.
When they hand you your diploma, keep moving. Just in case they try to take it back.
It is clear the future holds great opportunities. It also holds pitfalls. The trick will be to avoid the pitfalls, seize the opportunities, and get back home by six o’clock.
I can’t wait to hear your name horribly mispronounced at the graduation ceremony.
If at first you don’t succeed, find out if the loser gets anything.
Dance like nobody’s watching, because they are not, they are all checking their phones.
Congratulations on getting through the easiest part of life.
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking spaces.
All that stands between a graduate and the top of the ladder is the ladder.
Well, I’m not usually one for speeches. So, goodbye.
You know that point at your graduation ceremony where everyone tosses up their caps? Isn’t it great that we all celebrate how smart we are by throwing sharp pointy objects in the air?
Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.
As you set off into the world, don’t be afraid to question your leaders. But don’t ask too many questions at one time or that are too hard because your leaders get tired and/or cranky.
So long as your desire to explore is greater than your desire to not screw up, you’re on the right track.
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
The tassel was worth the hassle!
So, what’s it like in the real world? Well, the food is better, but beyond that, I don’t recommend it.
Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors!
The Lord gave us two ends: One to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.
I learned law so well, the day I graduated I sued the college, won the case, and got my tuition back.
Remember, when it comes to applying for jobs, books are judged by their cover!
