Speaking to High School Graduates

Hi to my brethren on SI!

I was wondering what some of you would say if you had an opportunity to speak to a group of high school graduates. So here is a chance, if you would like to post some things that you believe they need to hear.

I want to thank you in advance for all your contributions, but please think of them as one of your darling children that you really love so much and want the best for them.
