I don't usually care for graduation speeches. The general air of forced cheerfulness and optimism can be a bit depressing. However, Author Neil Gaiman's recent speech at a University of the Arts graduation ceremony is very entertaining, and includes some nuggets of wisdom, including the value of lying on your resume, the problems of failure and the problems of success, and the importance of making good art even when things aren't going well ( husband runs off with a politician, the cat explodes, etc.):
I loved watching this speech too - some real gems in there!
