There comes that special time once a year where you find yourself clueless and wondering. You are trying to buy a gift yet have no idea what to get. (No this isn't Christmas, a birthday, nor is it even a wedding gift.) It is the time for graduations. If you do indeed find yourself stuck and don't know what to give a graduating person, (because they can be from kindergarten all the way up to maybe even a promotion) a great book to give them would be Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss.
"Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!"
It is a great little story that reaches out to more than just a fun children's book. As funny as it may sound, if I were asked to speak at a gratuation, which I hope that I do, I would love to quote Dr. Seuss's story of Oh, the Places You'll Go!
I must say that I agree with your pick on this story being great for graduates! I actually received the same quote that you listed in one of my graduation cards and my sister received this book as a graduation present.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is a children's book, I think it is also more than that! I agree that if you get you asked to speak at graduation, that you should definitely quote this book!
