    you could definitely write a speech around that. Let go of your mistakes, start anew and keeping moving forward

    I am giving a commencement speech for a graduating class of college studnets. I wanted to quote Pearl Jam / Eddie Vedder in my speech. My speech is about their success for their years of hard work, what it took to get there and to stay motivated.

    I wonder what type of achievement / signs of motivation quotes I could use?

    Thanks!

    In the words of Eddie Vedder,

    I know I was born and I know that I'll die....the in between is mine. I Am Mine. Go out and live the in between, be who you are, and enjoy your future.

    How about...

    Do you see the way that tree bends?
    Does it inspire?
    Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
    A lesson to be applied
    Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    You can take what ya want from this lyric. It means so much to me on every possible level. love it

    This thread popped into my brain yesterday, and this lyric was the one I thought of also. It's important to learn and grow with every life experience, good or bad. It's why history is so important for the future. "If you forget the past, you are destined to repeat it". Great stuff for a graduation. CONGRATS BY THE WAY!!
