“May all of you find great purpose in your life’s work. Some of you will work in agriculture. Some in other fields such as engineering and science. A few may venture into the scariest vocation of them all – politics. Some will become famous. Yet, it is not everyone’s fate to be well known. However, let it be the fate of everyone graduating here today that you be known to always do well,” he concluded.
