But regardless of how rough our seas, how unsure our navigation, how unclear our horizons, we must not base our lives our upon our worst fears, but rather upon our greatest journeys hopes. For when we plan for failure, we are literally as good as sunk. Many segments of our global society view our generation as overly and impractically idealistic. However, I see a generation that is visionary in its destinations with a standard of excellence, always searching for a challenge j GraduationSummer 2009 University Journal Page B2 worthy of our crew. We are a generation that will celebrate our differences, extend a helping hand to those who may fall overboard, and envision the potential for great good in others much as a sailor anticipates voyages unseen in a new main sail. I entreat all of us to move forward upon the water with unflinching hope, facing fearlessly our storms, for storms there will be. We are no longer the leaders of tomorrow; we are now the inheritors of today. We must now, at this very moment, accept the role of mariners of vision, captains of strong ideals and standards, and set a firm rudder to navigate a purposeful course into uncharted waters of unfathomable opportunities. My friends, my shipmates, I wish you all a fond bon voyage in the adventure we will take together. May you be greeted by 4 calm seas, fair winds and a clear sight of your horizon. Let us stand united against the storm ahead, each shipmate doing his or her part to move us forward to our next port. But please, please, do not forget to take time to breathe the ocean air, enjoy the sheer beauty of each sunrise and sunset, and revel in the distant rolling thunder. This is the part of our journey we have long prepared for. Believe in your divine purpose, believe in the captain, but most importantly, believe in yourself! I hope we take the words of poet William Ernest Henley as a personal motto: I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul, because we truly are.
