I have to say, to be here now, speaking  with all of you — in Yankee Stadium,  

00:20

one of the greatest places in one of the greatest  cities on Earth — is more than a little humbling.  

00:30

My friends, you are now NYU graduates — the best  and the brightest. You have great potential and  

00:40

possibilities. And therefore, you have enormous  responsibility, too. So today, I’d like to talk  

00:49

about the nature of both those things, and I’d  like to offer you a challenge. One that I think is  

00:57

essential for your future success as individuals,  and as the leaders that you are becoming.

01:05

Among the many things I admire about NYU, is that  about a fifth of the students are international.  

01:19

And a similar proportion are the very  first in their families to go to college.  

01:31

This group is truly diverse in every possible  way. And I think that is an extraordinarily  

01:40

02:23

it forced me, really for the first time as an  adult, to meet, engage, befriend people whose  

02:30

views and experiences, ideas, values and  language were very different from my own.  

02:37

When a kid from Montreal meets a Korean  fisherman living in Mauritania, befriends  

02:44

a Russian veteran of their Afghan war, or a  shopkeeper and his family living in Danang,  

02:51

interesting conversations always happen.  Now, maybe some of you have talked about  

02:59

doing something like a great trip like that  after graduation. But I’d be willing to bet  

03:05

one of the first things you heard was a warning:  “You can’t do that in this day and age. It’s not  

03:12

safe!” But here’s my question: Is it really just  the issue of physical safety that makes our loved
