Oh and this speech may work when talking to a group of (relatively and predominantly) privileged white people in the U.S.A. However, there are thousands of people across the U.S.A. whose high school graduation is exceptional. That is why some families cheer so loudly because they never thought their children would make it through high school--many people in their communities do not.
The point that I took from this speech (that many people have lost) is that the experience of learning is a lifelong experience. We keep learning and keep trying even when we will often NOT be #1. That point is what we should take to heart in order to avoid spoiled children and annoying aspirants/PNMs who think they cannot be told NO.
