Graduation

If you really want to shock the world, unleash your kindness.

The most sophisticated and intelligent people I know are the ones willing to challenge their thinking and admit there's more to learn.

When someone you trust sees your potential and says they believe you can be that person, it opens up a path and inspires you to become that version of yourself.

Use your fear. Harness it. Let them underestimate you. In the end, don't vanquish your critics — prove them wrong.

Life will absolutely not be what you think it will be. It will be hard and wonderful and messy and rewarding, with more versions of you than you think possible.

Don't miss your life on the way to work.

The real questions are: Am I getting better as a person? And is what I'm doing bringing me and the ones around me happiness?

You don't have to win to be part of something truly magical.

I learned not to be disillusioned by failure, not to be burdened by perfection, and not to be intimidated by greatness.

Measure your success by how much you evolve, not necessarily how much you win.

Pick what you think is the best path and just move forward.

If you want to cross the river of life, you're gonna get wet. And that's not a bug — that's a feature.
