#76 GRADUATION and BEYOND
Life is enjoyed most
When we complete big tasks,
And graduating from college
Often provides us with a thrill that lasts.

Saying goodbye to friends
that we may not see again,
gives way to our respective futures,
and career opportunities without end.

Of course, professors should be remembered too
But the things that are probably remembered
most,
Are the ideas discovered, and the problems solved,
Which were only achieved, thanks to our own great resolve.

Truly, what lies ahead may seem very
uncertain,
But life well go on, as we try to peek behind every curtain,
In many ways it's like Christmas again and again,
As we go through life's portals, always
trying to meet new friends.

And in the end when life is nearly through
And when we ask ourselves what more do we
need to do,
The answer that should come is that It was
all good,
And that we really did get done all the
things that we should.

"If you want to know the past, to know what has caused you, look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the past's effect. If you want to know your future, then look at yourself in the PRESENT, for that is the cause of the future."
--Majjhima Nikaya

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston
