Commencement speeches. Most are full of platitudes, “Change the world!” or “Do what you’re passionate about!” For these kinds of speeches, I recommend doing what I did at my own commencement - sleep through it. A few tell you what life is really about. Intrinsic motivation. Human psychology. Perspective and humility. Serendipity and conviction. Most importantly, holding these values even if they go against social norms.
