A Fortune Cookie for the Class of 2013

I would ask this year's graduating class to please take note of the following timely fortune cookie:

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."

Also, the Class of 2013 should feel free to be further inspired by these YouTube videos.

Elgar - Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1
("Land of Hope and Glory")
(Last Night of the Proms 2012)

Fountains of Wayne
"Prom Theme"

July 21, 2013 Update:  The fortune cookie quotation apparently has been around for a while, but I hadn't seen it before. I learned that it is often attributed to Gandhi, but this is what Brian Morton had to say in the New York Times of August 29, 2011:

Starting from the fourth paragraph:

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/opinion/falser-words-were-never-spoken.html?_r=0

So I apologize to the Class of 2013 for dispensing hackneyed advice from a bumper sticker. In my defense, I thought it came from a fortune cookie.

Elgar, Delius, Holst

Illustrator Eric Fraser (1902-1983) drew portraits of composers Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius, and Gustav Holst for the radio broadcast of a 1959 concert commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their deaths. The full illustration of the trio was published in Radio Times, and the individual portraits of Delius and Holst were reused on several occasions. The original illustration was sold by the Chris Beetles Gallery in London.
