I'm glad to be here today. Hell, I'm glad to be anywhere today. President Cohen asked me to come and give the charge to the graduates. I assure you it's nothing compared to the charge you have just given me
This is an incredible place. I've seen it through so many lenses. I saw it when I was a graduate student that didn't get admitted and then somebody invited me back and said "ok we'll our mind" and I saw it as a place that hired me back to be on the faculty many years later and then gave me the chance to do what anybody wants to do, which is follow their passion, follow their heart and do the things they're excited about.
And the great thing about this university unlike almost all the ones that I know of is that nobody gets in your way when you try to do it and that's just fantastic. And to the degree that a human being can love an institution, I love this place and I love all of the people and I'm very grateful to Jerry Cohen and everyone else for all the kindness that have been shown me
Last August, I was told that in all likelihood I had three to six months left to live. I'm on month nine now and I'm not gonna get down and do any push ups.
[applause]
But there will be a short pick up basketball game later. Somebody said to me in light of these numbers, "wow so you're really beating the grim reaper" and what I said without even thinking about is "we don't beat the reaper by living longer. we beat the reaper by living well and living fully for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up. Because when he shows up, it's too late to do all the things that you're always gonna kinda get around to." So I think the only advice I can give you on how to live your life well is, first off, remember, it's a cliche but I love cliches, it is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed, it is the things we do not. 'Cuz I assure you I've done a lot of really stupid things and none of them bother me. All the mistakes and all the dopey things and all the times I was embarrassed, they don't matter. What matters is that I can kinda look back and say "pretty much any time I got a chance to do anything cool, I tried to grab for it" and that's where my solace comes from.
The second thing that I would add to that and I didn't coordinate on the subject of the word but I think it's the right word that comes up, is passion. and you will need to find your passion. many of you have already done it, many of you will later, many of you may take till your 30's or 40's. but don't give up on finding it alright? Because then all you're doing is waiting for the reaper. find your passion and follow it and if there is anything I have learned in my life, you will not find that passion in things and you will not find that passion in money because the more things and the more money you have, the more you will just look around and use that as the metric and there will always be someone with more.
So your passion must come from the things that fuel you from the inside and honours and awards are nice things but only to the extent that they regard the real respect from your peers and to be thought well of by other people that you think even more highly of is a tremendous honour that I've been granted.
Find your passion and in my experience no matter what you do at work or what you do in official settings that passion will be grounded in people and it will be grounded in the relationships you have with people and what they think of you when your time comes
And if you can gain the respect of those around you and the passion and true love and I've said this before but I waited till 39 to get married because I had to wait that long to find someone where her happiness was more important than mine. And if nothing else, I hope that all of you can find that kind of passion and that kind of love in your life.
Thank you.
