Before you officially step foot in the real world， let me leave with you just a few thoughts that I"ve collected over the years.
Number one—be you. Find the genius that is uniquely your own.Nurture it.It is your passion.Don"t let anyone drown out your inner voice.Take that leap of faith and trust your instincts.Your uniqueness can change the world.Don"t stand in front of the mirror and try to look like everybody else.Be you.
Number two—remember others. The greatest exercise for the human heart isn"t jogging or aerobics or weight lifting—it"s reaching down and lifting another up.Find a cause larger than yourself， then speak out and take action.ANever let it be said that you were too timid or too weak to stand by your cause.Learn what it feels like to give 100 percent to others.It"ll change your life.
Number three—embrace failure. Some of you probably have not landed the job you wanted.I"m sure many of you have faced hardships， I sure have.Failure only hurts if you can"t turn it into a learning experience that makes you stronger and wiser.Sometimes that momentary setback， that failure seems like the end of the world.BMy heart has broken more than once when friends of my kids， in moments of despair have taken their own lives.Please remember， when you encounter an obstacle in life， four of the most powerful words in the English language are“this too shall pass.”
Number four—find somebody to love. You see， it"s life"s most powerful emotion.I first saw my wife across the courtyard in high school.I tried to get her attention by running for class president， I lost.It didn"t work.But， when we unexpectedly found ourselves working together at Marie Callendar"s pie shop， I had a little more luck.CThis dishwasher caught the eye of the salad girl.
Fifth and finally， give back. As much as you"re able.Work to keep America great.Serve her， if asked.I was， by a president of a different political party.But in the end， while we might not all be of one party， we are all part of one nation， a nation that needs your generational gift of energy and confidence.

ALet"s take a moment to pause and reflect on what makes some people successful while others， with similar or greater talent and resources， founder.
Over my career， I have had the privilege to work with some astounding people. People like Paul Keating who left school at barely 15 years of age， yet went to become one of Australia"s most visionary and far-sighted prime ministers.As an executive coach， I am working with highly motivated， successful corporate leaders.Yet often I find myself helping them to work out what is missing in their lives and what to do about it.
So what exactly is a successful life？How do you define it？Does being successful require you to amass material possessions or to wield great power？Must you be famous， or even become a celebrity？Perhaps it"s more about being devoted to serving others less fortunate than you or enjoying a life with family and friends， or living sustainably and leaving a legacy， such as world peace.
Trying to answer this question drew me to the innovative TED website earlier this year. BTED（standing for technology， entertainment and design）is a small nonprofit organization devoted to ideas worth spreading.They do this through their website and annual US and UK conferences where they bring together the world"s most fascinating thinkers and doers.
CThis is where I found a very appealing definition of success， which was used by a well known American basketball coach called John Wooden. He defines true success as peace of mind through knowing that you have made the effort to do the best of which you are capable.This is appealing because it means that anyone from anywhere can live a successful life with a bit of hard work and self-belief.He also argues that you should never let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.And that is a great piece of advice.
