It took me a while to get it, but the hardest-working people dont work hard because theyre disciplined. They work hard because working on an exciting problem is fun. So after today, its not about pushing yourself; its about finding your tennis ball, the thing that pulls you. It might take a while, but until you find it, keep listening for that little voice. One thing Ive learned is surrounding yourself with inspiring people is now just as important as being talented or working hard. Can you imagine if Michael Jordan hadn’t been in the NBA, if his circle of 5 had been a bunch of guys in Italy? Your circle pushes you to be better, just as Adam pushed me. The last trap you might fall into after school is getting ready. Dont get me wrong: learning is your top priority, but now the fastest way to learn is by doing. If you have a dream, you can spend a lifetime studying and planning and getting ready for it. What you should be doing is getting started. And today on your commencement, your first day of life in the real world, thats what I wish for you. Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward. Thank you. https://youtube/watch?v=6inri5ggyK4
