“College is something you complete. Life is something you experience. So don’t worry about your grade, or the results or success. Success is defined in myriad ways, and you will find it, and people will no longer be grading you, but it will come from your own internal sense of decency, which I imagine, after going through the program here, is quite strong. . . . Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. And let the chips fall where they may.”
Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show on Comedy Central, speaking at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Va.
