BE A GOOD STORY THAT YOU WILL BE TOLD TO PEOPLE

 

HUMAN LIFE IS A STORY, BE A GOOD STORY THAT YOU WILL BE TOLD TO PEOPLE”

My friends, today we gather to celebrate an incredible milestone. As you stand here, Masters in hand, I encourage you to reflect on the idea that your human life is, in essence, a story - one that you have the power to author.

From the moment we are born, we begin weaving together the tapestry of our experiences, relationships, and choices. Each day presents us with new plotlines, new characters, and new opportunities to shape the trajectory of our narrative. And just as any good story captivates its audience, we too have the ability to craft a life that resonates, inspires, and leaves a lasting impact.

So, what kind of story will you choose to tell? Will it be one of triumph over adversity? Of service to others? or of pursuing your wildest dreams with unapologetic passion? The options are endless, limited only by the bounds of your own imagination.

Perhaps most importantly, remember that you are not the only author of your story. The people you meet, the communities you build, the challenges you face - these all play a role in shaping the narrative. And it is up to you to ensure that you are a thoughtful, considerate, and empowering presence in the lives of those around you.

Be the kind of hero that others will want to follow, cheer for, and remember long after the final page has been turned. Demonstrate courage in the face of uncertainty, compassion in times of strife, and an unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the world.

For the true mark of a life well, lived is not found in praises or material possessions, but in the permanent imprint you leave on the hearts and minds of others. When your story is told, may it be one that uplifts, inspires, and reminds us all of the profound power of the human spirit.

My friends, the pen is in your hands. Now go forth and write your legacy.
