Drawing on Sigmund Freud's definition of mental health — 'to work, to love, and to play well' — Lucchino reminded the graduates that unlike baseball, one for three isn't a good enough batting average when it comes to living a full life. A Yale professor of his era had once preached that 'everything before age thirty was the preface,' and Lucchino urged the BU graduates to take that to heart: widen your gaze, take off the blinders, and recognize that the world is open and full of opportunities that won't be visible if you narrow your focus too early.
