The best and most honest commencement speech I've ever listened to was David Foster Wallace's to the Kenyon College graduating class of 2005 that has since been published as a short book. It's called "This is Water." There's a heavy liberal arts slant, but it's a great speech.

- nbouscal 13y agoI've listened to and read quite a few commencement speeches, and DFW's is the only one that made an actual impact on my life. I think to myself "this is water" at least once every day or two and it helps me to realign my perspective.
