After hearing a very poor graduation speech Wednesday, I read a very good one today. Two big messages:
"Some dreams are bad dreams."
Do not live each day as though it is your last.
The two things do go together. Lots of personal triumphs are the realization of dreams that hurt other people (financially, emotionally, or physically). Actions have consequences. If this is your last day then they don't. It may be worth turning that around and asking people to live as if each day was the last for another person, but probably not. It's a good speech. Go. Read.
