Guy Kawasaki's Top Ten Tips for High School Graduates

Guy Kawasaki

We reached into the archives for Guy Kawasaki’s monumental speech to the graduates of Palo Alto High School — a speech he admits cost parents thousands of dollars. We think he’s being modest: We’re imagining costs to parents in the tens if not hundreds of thousands.

Guy Kawasaki’s Top Ten Tips for High School Graduates:

#10: Live off your parents as long as possible.

#9 Pursue joy, not happiness.

#8: Challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

#7: Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports.

#6: Continue to learn.

#5: Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself.

#4: Don’t get married too soon.

#3: Play to win and win to play.

#2: Obey the absolutes.

#1: Enjoy your family and friends before they are gone.

Kawasaki expands on the list in the text of the speech. Live and Learn and Enjoy.
