Advice Quote by David Corn
“The question I have is out of all these commencement speeches that are happening, what's the really worthwhile advice that a 21, 22 year old person will walk away from the speech and say, I can apply this maybe five years, 10 years later. How many speeches actually push the button like that, other than yours?”
