Tinted Chains



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.
