10 years ago around this time my life changed... forever.

To all my graduates...know this....

That piece of paper that you will hang up against your wall, or, your shelf, or wherever....is a great conversation starter. BUT..... what you do with that piece of paper is an even BETTER conversation...finisher. 💯

Moral of the story: It's not what you know, it's what you do with what you know to make this world a better place that REALLY counts. 💯
