I graduated first in my high school class, but only because
they lined us up in order of height. The fellow at the other end of the line went
on to play in the NFL for thirteen seasons and is a familiar face on ESPN. But
I digress. I wasn’t asked to speak at my own graduation, and no one is ever
likely to ask me to speak at theirs. But if they did I’d say, “The most
important decisions you’re ever likely to make involve your family. Think hard
about who you choose to marry. When you’ve made your choice, put your whole
heart and soul into that relationship. If you have a great marriage and a
miserable career, you’ll be happy. If you have a successful career and a
miserable marriage, you’ll always be miserable.” It’s short and sweet, which
puts it ahead of most of the commencement speeches I’ve heard.
