The
article by Wallace was very interesting to me and revealed many truths that are
frequently overlooked. He brought up a
good point that sometimes the most obvious and important realties are the ones
that are looked over the most. I also
agreed that a college education does in fact teach you how to think or at least
think in a different way. College
education and life experiences teach you to look at life from other’s
perspectives and realize that you are not the center of the universe. I liked when he talked about his trip to the
grocery store after work and mentioned how one could have an entirely different
perspective on the situation by simply realizing the experiences of others and
how it may be determining their behaviors. He also touches upon how people tend
to over think abstract things or get lost in things that really have no
significance. I agree that instead it is important to pay attention to things
that are going on right in front of you-things you would normally overlook.
I think
that this speech may have been a little lengthy for a graduation speech and I
am not sure how much of it would be internalized after hearing it verbally. It
is a good and meaningful speech and something that everyone should really think
about. Having it written down, I think
made it more meaningful.
