Why didn’t they have commencement speeches like this when I was growing up?
In the past couple of years, it seems like more and more amazingly powerful commencement speeches have been making their way online. The Steve Jobs one still gets its fair share of million of views each and every year (watch it here: Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement Speech 2005). This week, Julien Smith (author of The Flinch and co-author of Trust Agents with Chris Brogan), directed me over to this beautiful twenty minute speech by famed comic book artist, author and renaissance man, Neil Gaiman.

The University of the Arts made the right choice in having Gaiman speak to their graduates. I’m usually the first one to cringe at anybody standing at a lectern and reading a speech, but Gaiman is one of the very few who can pull it off in a human way. Beyond his personable performance, the gold lies in his content. I hope you extrapolate the same two key messages from his presentation that I did:
