Godin speaks so much truth today.
I sat in Camp Randall stadium today to watch the University of Wisconsin’s 2014 commencement. John Huntsman, the deans, the chancellor and the student speakers talked about the Wisconsin experience, the trials all the graduates faced throughout their time at university. What each speaker spoke around was one important concept: reflection.
Graduates were told to reflect on their experiences and who helped them along the way; to reflect on the adversity and celebrations of the last four years. What they didn’t come right out asking the graduates to do was reflect on the difficult parts of their experience. Were there any?
If there weren’t. Was it that much of an experience? Was there that much value? Was the degree, the debt, the stress worth it?
This doesn’t go for just graduates, it goes for everyone in the workplace, everyone in the freelance realm, everyone everywhere.
You can make accomplishments in life, but where’s the value of them come from? Where is the difficult part?
If you haven’t found it, you have some searching and stretching to do.
Stay Positive & Congratulations To Those Who Made It Difficult On Themselves, They’re The Real Graduates
