~ You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world. ~
~ In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins: cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later. ~
~ The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. ~
~ There is a good reason they call these ceremonies "commencement exercises." Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning. ~
~ All that stands between the graduate and the top of the ladder is the ladder. ~
~ The man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after. ~
~ Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. ~
~ Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~
~ Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ~
~ Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college. ~
~ The trouble with learning from experience is that you never graduate. ~
