Wrapping up

The last commencement speech I want to share today is the one that J.K. Rowling gave at Harvard in the spring of this year (click for full transcript).

I find it a particularly appropriate gift when we consider that the last Harry Potter book was published in 2007 and the last Harry Potter movie came out this year — the graduating dates for the class of 2011, from high school and university, respectively. (Assuming, of course, that the UBC class of 2011 took the traditional four years to graduate and not more…!)

as is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters

Have beautiful weekends, Fall graduates of 2011, and many more lovely days beyond.
