I like this commencement speech by Denzel Washington (University of Pennsylvania, 2011). He seems sincere, humble, honest. The speech is sweet, funny, a little clumsy, but ultimately, quite moving.
I like his emphasis on faith, on persistence (even after failure), on trying things you don't feel comfortable doing (like speaking at commencement ceremonies). I like that he himself didn't quit, even when he almost flunked out of college.
I like that he's a man of faith. Thank you, Lord, for this man, for this speech. It's a good message for this generation.
