Commencement speeches are significant opportunities for influential figures such as Presidents, celebrities, and CEOs to inspire graduates with their insights and life lessons. Historical speeches, like John F. Kennedy's 1963 address advocating for peace, exemplify how these speeches can convey important values. Renowned figures like Atul Gawande have shifted the focus from simply advising graduates to take risks, to stressing the importance of mastering the art of recovery from failures, underlining that success involves not just avoiding failures, but effectively navigating and overcoming them.
The difference between triumph and defeat, you'll find, isn't about willingness to take risks - it's about mastery of rescue.
What matters isn't just that you take risks; it's how you take them.
A failure often does not have to be a failure at all. However, you have to be ready for it.
They didn't fail less. They rescued more.
