19 | “If This Isn’t Nice, What Is?: Advice to the Young” |
20 | “My Uncle Alex, who is up in Heaven now, one of the things he found objectionable about human beings was that they so rarely noticed it when times were sweet. We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, “If this isn’t nice, what is?” |
21 | So I hope that you will do the same for the rest of your lives. When things are going sweetly and peacefully, please pause a moment, and then say out loud, “If this isn’t nice, what is?” |
22 | If This Isn’t Nice, What Is?: Advice to the Young” |
23 | “That’s one favor I’ve asked of you. Now I ask for another one. I ask it not only of the graduates, but of everyone here, parents and teachers as well. I’ll want a show of hands after I ask this question. |
24 | How many of you have had a teacher at any level of your education who made you more excited to be alive, prouder to be alive, than you had previously believed possible? |
25 | Hold up your hands, please. |
26 | Now take down your hands and say the name of that teacher to someone else and tell them what that teacher did for you.” |
27 | “A cuc***ber is bitter. Throw it away. There are briars in the road. Turn aside from them. This is enough. Do not add, ‘And why were such things made in the world?’” |
