DailyDirt: Some Inspiring Graduation Speeches...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
It's graduation time for a lot of students, and there are a lot of different commencement addresses being given in lot of different venues. Here are a few memorable ones, preserved by YouTube, for your enjoyment.- Steve Jobs gave a pretty popular graduation speech a few years ago. Stay hungry... [insert your own inappropriate joke about Jobs' physical appearance here] [url]
- Denzel Washington advises grads to "fall forward"... But having something to "fall back on" doesn't seem like bad advice, either, though. [url]
- JK Rowling recounts her own failures and the inevitability of failure. Gay wizard joke, FTW. [url]
- To discover more stuff for possible self-improvement, check out what's currently floating around on StumbleUpon. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
