In 1995 I auditioned to be a speaker at my high school graduation. I wasn’t valedictorian or student body president. I was an almost-all-As student who thought I had something to say.

It’s been 25 years — a quarter of a century — and I thought it might be wise to revisit my words of wisdom and see if they were extremely off base or timelessly witty. You can be the judge and take what works for you.
