"Graduation is only a concept. In real life every day you graduate. Graduation is a never ending process which you will experience for the rest of your life. If you can grasp that, you'll make a difference." Arie Pencovici

What I take from this beautiful quote is that every single day of your life is of importance. Graduating from one stage to another stage is something that occurs everyday. One day a big event happens such as graduation and other days smaller things. Every day you are growing and changing as a human being. With those daily lessons learnt you are constantly graduating to higher levels. Savor these moments and be happy about them everyday.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain

I love this quote; this is definitely one of Mark Twain's gems. To me this quote tells me that when it all comes down to it in 20 30 40 years from now. At the end of your life when you think back the regrets will come about from all the stuff you held back on and didn't try to do rather than all the things you tried even if you made mistakes. Regardless of whether you make mistakes in the trying it's the element of trying and giving it a go that makes all the difference. You will not live a life full of regret of what could have been had you just done something. Try as many things as you want don't hold back, in the future you will be happy with your life.

"Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these." Susan B. Anthony

Life as we know it is made up of all sorts of events most of us are always on the look out for the big events, the big celebrations such as graduations or weddings and we forget about the little things that happen more often than the bigger events. It's the so called daily mundane things that make up most of our lives, the loud laughter here, and the funny joke from a friend, the chat with your loved one. It is all these little daily occurrences that matter the most and are the sum of a life well lived.

You are graduating and embarking on this exciting journey. Do not forget the wisdom of these quotes keep them close with you always. These words if you listen to them can inspire you to a life fully and happily lived. I hope you found inspiration from these three graduation quotes like I do.
