Some Wisdom for Moving Forward
It’s that time of year when graduates pop out of their cozy educational wombs like slippery watermelon seeds. Typically they get a graduation speech from some suit. I just came across a different kind of commencement address from which we all could benefit. Hope you enjoy it.

Here are a few chestnuts from the speech:
Worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra problem by chewing bubblegum.
Do one thing a day that terrifies you.
Keep your love letters and throw away your bank statements.
Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.
Don’t read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Since my last post got a little religiousy, I thought I’d change it up with this one.
