right on the coordinates
good morning here Elevens today’s
assembly is about the start of the
journey the start of the rest of your
lives in two years time all of you will
have been finishing your a-levels in
three years time you’ll be studying
across the world studying at the
University of your choice in five years
time you’d have started your careers
many of you will be in this room working
for the top institutions across the
globe you will then get married you then
may buy a house in ten years time your
life will be set for you in 15 years
you’ll be 30 and from then on your path
I’m sorry mr. headmaster let me tell you
why that approach may fail you
I know people who graduated at 21 and
didn’t get a job till they were 27
I know people who graduated late at 25
and they found work immediately
I know people who never went to
university but found what they loved at
18 I know people who have found a job
straight out of college making decent
money but hate what they do
I know people who took gap years and
found their purpose I know people who
are so sure about what they were going
to do at 16 and change their mind at 26
I know people who have children but a
single and I know people who are married
but have had to wait 8 to 10 years to
have children I know people in
relationships and love someone else
I know people who love each other but
aren’t together so my point is
everything in life happens according to
our time our clock you may look at some
of your friends and think that they’re
ahead of you maybe some of them you feel
her behind but everything happens at
their own pace they have their own time
and clock and so do you be patient at
age 25 Mark Cuban was a bartender in
Dallas it took till 32 for JK rowling to
be published for Harry Potter after
being rejected by 12 publishers ortega
lawn sora when he was 39 Jack mastered
at Alibaba when he was 35 Morgan Freeman
got his big break at 52
Steve Carell only got his break after 40
years old virgin was started by Richard
Branson at 34 getting your degree after
25 is still an achievement not being
married at 30 but still happy is
beautiful starting a family after 35 is
still possible and buying a house after
40 is still great
don’t let anyone
with their timelines because as Einstein
said not everything that counts can be
counted and not everything that’s
counted truly counts and this is the
most important thing I want you to be
able to create meaningful purposeful
fulfilling lives for yourselves and
learn how to use that to make an impact
and a difference in the lives of others that will be true
