People who give books to graduates are probably the same
people who give underwear to children for Christmas. Let s be
honest. You didn t want a book. After all, you have just fin-
ished high school, and you have read about all the books you
will ever need to read, and you have learned about everything
you will ever need to know. Why would you want another
book?
I agree with you. If I could give you a gift, I would give you a
T-shirt instead of a book. But not just any T-shirt. I would give
you one of those T-shirts with your philosophy of life ~tten
across its front so the whole world can see exactly what you are
feeling, thinking, and believing just now.
I am a big fan of T-shirt wisdom. In fact, I am a fan of wis-
dom anywhere I can get it. I even enjoy locker-room wisdom,
the kind that comes printed on those posters that coaches
plaster around the locker room with huge globs of tape.
Where else would I have leamed such life-changing gems as,
"When the going gets tough, the tough get going" or "Only
the guy who hits the ball over the fence can loaf around the
bases"?
I also enjoy classroom bulletin-board wisdom--the kind
that enriches my horizons with such truths as, "Since your
mother isn t here, clean up your own mess" and "Time
passes; will you?" And then there s the ever popular, "If you
can read this, thank a teacher." But since teachers and
coaches don t change their billboards except once every de-
cade or two, I sometimes wonder if they ar~leally personally
committed to that message or are just using those things to
cover a crack in the wall.
