And last but not least- here’s to thenauceias & naucefns grads. As you leave NAU, remember these words of wisdom from Commencement speaker thisisbillgates:

"The first thing is, your life isn’t a one-act play. 

You probably feel a lot of pressure right now to make the right decisions about your career.

It might feel like those decisions are permanent. They’re not.

What you do tomorrow—or for the next ten years—does not have to be what you do forever.

📍 I thought I knew everything I needed to know when I left college.

But the first step to learning something new is embracing what you don’t know, instead of focusing on what you do know.

📍At some point in your career, you will find yourself facing a problem you cannot solve on your own. When that happens, don’t panic.

Take a breath. Force yourself to think things through. And then find smart people to learn from.

 

Just about everything I have accomplished came because I sought out others who knew more.

People want to help you. The key is not to be afraid to ask."
