Conchita Razon's "My Chair Rocks," shared the US Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.'s "most unconventional speech at his son's middle school graduation.":
"From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice.
I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.
Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don't take friends for granted.
I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time, so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure., a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship.
I hope you will be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion."
Amen!
