This was requested of me yesterday out of the blue. This middle aged man saw me and recalled my words from last spring. He shared with me he wanted a copy of it for his patients to read before they enter the operating Room. Below is the commencement address I delivered to the high school graduating class of 2010. As I re-read this, I was blown away by the connecting 'rule' in all of it. Enjoy, as we are all graduating something right here and right now.
