Some of my Favorite Quotes for Graduation

 
It's graduation season, and I was honored to attend my younger brother Greg's graduation from USC last week. I was so inspired by all the good works, brilliance, determination, and giving spirit I witnessed in the graduates I met. The energy in the air was contagious, and I left feeling inspired to dream bigger, reach higher, give more and do more every day to make this world a better place.
