Jon Lovett’s commencement speech for the 2013 graduating class of Pitzer College isn’t your typical commencement, but it’s exactly how they all should be. Funny, insightful, hopeful and brutally honest. Here are my favourite quotes:
‘One of the greatest threats we face is, simply, bullshit.’
‘There is a lot that you don’t know that you don’t know’
‘Sometimes you’re going to be inexperienced, naive, untested and totally right’
’ All you have to do is avoid BS’ing yourself, whatever you do’ - Jon Lovett
Steve Jobs was okay but this is the finest commencement speech out there. Will Ferrell!
We have come to love accolades more than genuine achievement
David McCullough gives the best commencement speech I’ve yet heard. It was entitled ‘You Are Not Special’. Magic
