說好的未來呢？那些騙了我們的畢業演講

Commencement speeches are inspiring. They're filled with goosebump inducing anecdotes, brilliant metaphors and words of wisdom and advice that make you want to run out the door and chase your dreams down the block.
畢業演講往往鼓舞人心。這些演講中充滿了讓你起雞皮疙瘩的小故事，絕妙的修辭，充滿智慧的箴言和勸諫，讓你躍躍欲試，恨不得立刻衝出門去，追夢而行。
