The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, Why did I wear such unfortable shoes? 攀登英語(yǔ)網(wǎng) 提供 But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they39。ve managed to book highprofile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers39。 wise remarks.

Isn39。t that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to marriage is hard work? You know he39。s right。 you just don39。t want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can39。t really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing. That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life39。s greatest, saddest truths: that our most memorable occasions may elicit the fewest memories.
