Congratulations, graduates! You have made it through school! And now, as your reward, you must remain seated while total strangers with absolutely no credentials give you unsolicited advice on how to live the rest of your life! You're welcome!
---------------------
Be suspicious of people who justify making other people's lives miserable by saying it is God's will. Be equally suspicious of politicians who quack about morality. Do not be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. Be wary of ideologues. The issues that you will face in the coming years will almost never be black and white, but rather some shade of gray. Learn all you can about something before forming an opinion.
Don't assume that someone in authority is deserving of your trust simply because he or she is in authority. People who say they have your best interests at heart sometimes don't. If an investment deal sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. Black socks and sandals are never a wise fashion combination.
