Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This

"All graduands, you may now proceed to the robing room to get your robes," This message repeated at least 5 times everyday, accompanying the No-I-am-not-irritated-by-it Commencement Official Song as it boomed loud and soft in the closed confines of the University Cultural Centre.

Yes, Mr Black is helping out at the UCC this and last week during Commencement 2006. This once-in-an-academic-year event marks the end of an undergraduate's path in the university. Be it a degree, an honors in whatever class, a masters, or a doctor in philosophy (PHD) conferred to any student, this event means, rather crudely, that he or she is about to leave school and start working (most likely) in the society. You can tell, by the look in their eyes, if they are ready to do precisely that. Of course, some lucky dudes and gals will no doubt have their jobs secured even before they mounted the stage to collect their long-awaited qualifications, but for most others, it's time for another round of competition.

Except that this time, it's not all about academic qualifications.

Mr Black has always stood by a stand. His stand: The papers are merely stepping stones for you to greater heights. To put it crudely again (I got this bad habit huh?), a degree or masters or p.h.d. is like a ticket that entitles you to an interview with your prospective boss. What happens in the interview has nothing to do with the papers; just like what happens in "Pirates of the Carribeans" has nothing to do with the ticket to the movie once you get pass the booth.

It's you. You. Yourself. Alone.

It's you that ultimately has to bear the brunt of the glare and the questions, and perform under such circumstances. Convince, not confuse. You can't based everything on your qualifications; right there they are just like ticket stubs.

To all graduates that have made it thus far, good luck and may you find the right movie to star in. The ticket to stardom, freedom and wealth doesn't come cheap nor easy, but now you have it in your hands. Well done.
