A história por trás desta citação
Streep, then a two-time Oscar winner and Vassar alumna, told the graduates that what she valued most from her education was a taste for excellence that wouldn't diminish. She admitted being tempted by illiterate scripts with enormous paychecks, but said experience had taught her that choosing challenging work was always the better bet. This was not about nobility — it was simply smarter, because engaged work led to an engaged life.
