Humorous

Hold on to your old friends. Kiss your Mama. Admit what your dreams are. Don't beat yourself up if you don't know what you're gonna do tomorrow. But work hard and don't be lazy.

Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that it often has very little to do with you.

From now on, you will be your own teacher, your own guide, your own critic. From now on, you fill out your own report card. Be an easy grader. Score yourself on a curve.

Get ready for my generation to tell you everything that can't be done. They should know — they can't be done. After all, we're the ones who didn't do them.

Take a minute and just enjoy life. Sniff those roses, you guys. Sniff deep. Don't just rush into life's next chapter. You just climbed a mountain — twelve years of nose to the grindstone.

I don't know jack diddly squat about nothing. I'm just a really good-looking rocker that stumbled into a tremendous acting career.

Don't go to college. It's super expensive and super hard. Seriously, don't waste your time and money unless you want to be a doctor, then I totally get it. No one's going to let you take out their spleen unless you have a degree. The rest of you, go read some books.

You are millennials, which is the biggest generation of the United States. I thought it was hard for me to find a job. It's going to be like The Hunger Games out there for you guys.

How many times do we label someone with our first impressions only to be proven wrong? The tattooed motorcycle guy who turns out to be a teddy bear, the buttoned-up co-worker who actually knows how to party.

I look at all of you and see America's future — attorneys, corporate lawyers, public prosecutors, judges, politicians, maybe even the President. Those are all positions of such great influence. Understand that one day, you will have the power to make a difference. So use it well.

Learn to trust yourself. That's very vital. Just stand with yourself. Remember, in his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only two paintings. I personally sold even fewer.

A sense of humor will be your life preserver in what could definitely be a veil of tears. Relish it. Cultivate it. It is vital to your existence.
