Create your own definition of success. Don't let it be judged or guided by someone else's measurements, by someone else's expectations or limitations.

这句语录背后的故事
Lange did not shy away from political commentary, telling the 2008 graduates they were inheriting a heavy burden from an administration that had waged an unnecessary war, established prison camps, condoned torture, and eliminated habeas corpus. But her call to action was not partisan — it was existential. She urged them to resist the commercial forces surrounding them: the constant assault of media, fashion, and entertainment; the celebration of mediocrity and false celebrity; a society placated by gadgets and soothed by consumerism. Against all of that, she said, 'You are our hope. Cherish this time in your life. Remember who you are.'
