Don't Buy the Lie: Senator Ben Sasse on Real Happiness
Dr. Allison D. Garrett, president of Emporia State University, was the featured speaker at spring commencement. Dr. Garrett asked graduates to consider five things that would make a difference in their lifelong pursuits. •
Continue to develop good communication skills. Write well. Be able to speak to others and explain complicated things in easy-tounderstand language.
•
Be timely and dependable. Respond quickly and follow through.
•
Do hard things. “It’s a great opportunity for you to shine… to grow… to demonstrate that you are a great team player.”
•
Be kind. “You never know at what point what kind act or kind word you do or say today may come back in the future.”
•
Focus on what’s important. “You are about to become very, very busy with your lives so focus on what’s important—on your faith, on your friends, and on your family.”
