The best graduation speech...


Those of you who have watched the movie “Eclipse” (twilight saga), will  never forget the graduation speech by Jessica (Anna Kendrick).
I think you  will agree with me when i say the speech is simple, perfect  and beautiful.:) 
well those of you who haven’t watched the movie will definitely agree with me, after reading the speechJ Here it is...

“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist.
But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how ’bout this: who the hell knows?!
This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy ’cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent.
So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
                          (thunderous applause J )
