My sister, Jenny, graduated from BYU this past Thursday!! The commencement speaker was Elder Richard G. Scott of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He was pretty funny and gave some good advice. I'm going to quickly re-cap.
He told us a secret - if you want to wake up with a smile on your face each and EVERY morning, go to sleep with a coat hanger in your mouth :-)
He gave us a list of 10 things that will help us lead a happy/better life:
1. establish a set of principles that will guide your whole life
2. don't make exceptions to your standards/principles
3. be loyal
4. live so the Lord can guide you to where He wants you to serve
5. serve others
6. smile
7. don't complain
8. always have a church assignment (always offer your services to your presiding authority)
9. go to the temple
10. use the Savior, Jesus Christ, as your example to life
His whole address was amazing and this was just the last part. If you have time, I suggest you read it.
