Let's humble down, shall we?
Some of us who grind in the real world may be unwilling to take the lessons from High School Graduation Speeches by Students seriously. What can these kids possibly teach us? After all, they have little experience to offer great lessons with.If we think deeper though: these speeches aren't just for bright-eyed kids, but for weathered adults too. They remind us that, when life gets tough, we can still push through. Whether we are struggling at our jobs, getting weary at school, or experiencing difficulties balancing career and family, their simple advice and brave actions give us a shot of inspiration.
They remind us that: when we were young and had little experience, the choices that we made later on that led to the lives that we have now, are exactly what we wanted way back when.
