Graduation is a wonderful time of year. Not only do our tech comm students graduate, but college, university and high school students all over are moving on to the next phase of their lives.

Please take these words of wisdom with you into the future:

1. Keep learning. Those who continue to learn will be able to keep up with the changes in the world.

2. Find wise mentors -- people you meet or work with, writers of books, or even persons from history. Honor the wisdom of those who have gone before.

3. Trust yourself. Let your inner light guide your way. It will keep you on a good path.

I wish you all the best in the future!


So, for a few friends who requested it, and for everyone else, here is the Graduation Laugh.

Laugh every day. Laugh for no reason. Laugh your stress away.

The Famous Green Laugh

Do you ever have those moments when your mind just goes blank? Obviously, I do! The main point of the Green Laugh is not so much that green is a delightful colour, which of course it is, but that we are all human and therefore eminently fallible. In such a situation, the only thing to do is laugh! Hence the Green Laugh. Laugh every day. Laugh for no reason. Laugh your stress away!
