Words to Live By -- From Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton gave a commencement speech at the University of Tennessee's graduation. And I wish I'd been there. I don't even remember who gave the speeches at my college graduation, so I think I will take as much of Parton's advice as I can. Specifically, these bits of wisdom:
* "What has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push-up bras. High heel shoes, five-inch high heel shoes. All I gotta say, take my advice. Some of you boys out there may find yourself on a little different career path than you might have planned."
* "Did you ever notice that there are a whole lot of people that do things just well enough to get by? But caring is about striving for perfection."
* "Do not confuse dreams with wishes. There is a difference. Dreams are where you visualize yourself being successful at what's important to you to accomplish. Now, dreams build convictions."
