About this Site
Garry Trudeau once said that “commencement speeches were invented largely in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated.” The speeches and quotes on Best Graduation Speeches are the exception to this rule.
My name is Carlo Scomparin, and I am just a humble Internet scavenger and archivist.
The wonderful Cristina Negrut created this website in 2006, and mantained it for more than a decade. I discovered it by chance, and I used to visit every once in a while.
When she moved on to other projects, the site went offline. I saved it and decided to publish it again, because the lessons and advice of these speeches can inspire others as they have inspired me.
Cristina have given her blessing to the use of her work, so here we are.
If you want to drop me a line, or something, you can write me at: carlo.scomparin@gmail.com
I would love to hear from you!
P.S. I use this space to shamelessly promote my wonderful wife and her creations: Alessia Casarin is a talented creator of clothes and accessories.

- Meant to help boost your confidence, inspire, motivate, uplift the spirits, empower, etc.
- Notes and positive statements that you can read, repeat and reinforce in order to eventually replace the bad, negative thoughts.
- The commencement address you never had or you wish you had.
