good morning. itsquo;s a privilege to be here with you today. commencement is a time of beginnings and endings; of looking to the future with hope while saying farewell with both joy and, perhaps, nostalgia. it is a jumble of emotions for all of us – and a field-day for a psychologist! enjoy all those feelings: itsquo;s hard to imagine yousquo;ll have an experience quite like this again.

so, there is a wonderful yale tradition that i would like to honor right now:

so, may i ask all of the families and friends here who are today to rise and recognize the outstanding – and graduating – members of the class of 20xx?

and now, may i ask the class of 20xx to consider all those who have supported your arrival at this milestone, and to please rise and recognize them?

thank you!

i encourage you to look up the scene on youtube – but not right now – because itsquo;s still a very funny piece. and itsquo;s funny because itsquo;s ridiculous, but also because it contains a kernel of truth. and the truth applies not only to college presidents, but to all of us.

how many times have we decided wesquo;re against an idea before wesquo;ve even heard it? how guilty are we of deciding isquo;m against it without even knowing what it is?

many times, we know what wesquo;re against based on who is saying it. if an idea comes from a certain public figure, politician, or media outlet, we already know how we feel. partly this is because our public discourse has become so predictable. wesquo;ve lost the capacity for surprise, for revelation.

speaking of predictable, here is the moment where an ambassador of an older generation – that would be me – tells millennials – most of you – about the evils of social media! but hear me out…

obviously, social media has transformed our lives and our relationships. it obviously has many advantages, allowing us to share news and information quickly with people around the world. but it also heightens our sense of outrage and speeds up arguments, depriving us of the time and space for careful reflection.

bombarded with notifications, pressured to respond before the media cycle turns over, we tap out our position – our opposition – in seconds. itsquo;s easy to be against something in fewer than 280 characters. itsquo;s far more difficult to articulate what you are for – and to do it at warp speed.

as i said, my grandfather was a pastor for 50 plus years, leading the civil rights movement and marches, desegregating the public transit system and helping the first african-american policemen secure steady jobs. my father was a physician, one of only 100 black doctors in atlanta when he started his practice, and my mother was a civic leader who co-founded a coalition of neighborhoods across segregated communities.

following in the tradition of my elders, i pursued a role in public service as president of the city council and you heard that i served for six years. as the leader of the legislative branch of municipal government, i learned all the mechanics and the operations of the city. and when it was time for my next step, i threw my hat in the ring and ran for mayor.

i entered as the front runner with the highest name recognition. i raised a ton of money, i knocked on tens of thousands of doors. that said, there were issues along the way; my parents became ill – my father with the ravages of diabetes and two amputated legs and my mother diagnosed with the early onset of dementia – and i decided i needed to withdraw from the race to look after them.

but my father, he wasnsquo;t having it. he told me i need to step up! that i should return to the race and try to get elected and give back to the city that had given us so much. but by then, my campaignsquo;s momentum was gone. i lost the race and i was absolutely devastated. every question you can possibly image went through my head. had the people of atlanta forgotten me? had they forgotten all the work that i had done? did they lose faith in me? were they disappointing [disappointed]?

so, isquo;m not just asking you, isquo;m advising you to anticipate defeat, strongly advising it. donsquo;t be surprised when it comes your way. acknowledge it. engage with inquisitive abandon and leave indelible fingerprints wherever you may go. search for environments that may give you grief but they may also help you to grow.

now, no one taught me the importance of that existential exploration better than my parents. and it was my father who showed me that in fact, it is in discomfort that we find our most defining moments.

my dad became a doctor because he knew the circumstances were not the same for everybody, that some people were not as fortunate as our family was. and as he put it, he wanted to eliminate dis-ease. are you with me, graduates? dis-ease. thatsquo;s exactly how he said it to me.

when i was a little girl, i would go on house calls with him. the patients all knew and loved him and i saw how much he prided himself on being a caretaker, someone who did his very best to reverse their compromised positions of his patients – to put their mind and bodies at ease.

but there was one house call i remember in particular. itsquo;s seared in the back of my brain as if it happened yesterday. his diabetic patient was having a hypoglycemic attack. he told me to get the orange juice. i did, and i watched him save a womansquo;s life that day.

looking around me today, i think of the generations of yale graduates who have come before you. individuals who have been for something.

there are many names we know and others that would be less familiar – presidents and world leaders, artists and business executives, scholars and scientists.

like them, i know you will heed the call to leadership and service and leave your mark on every realm of human endeavor.

that is yalesquo;s mission – that is what yale is for.

as members of the yale community, what do we believe?

we believe that facts and expertise, applied with creativity and wisdom, can transform the world.

we believe that education and research save lives and make life more meaningful.

we believe that diversity of thought and diversity indeed are essential to human progress.

we believe, most of all, in the boundless potential of human ingenuity; that together, we can solve great challenges and bring light and truth to a world in great need of it.

someone said we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite. i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.we are young. how to spend the youth? it is a meaningfulquestion. to answer it, first i have to ask what do you understand by the word youth? youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind. it?s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness of the deep spring of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage overtimidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .
