1. Anna Quindlen: Villanova University, 2000

Never get confused between these two things - your life and your work. Remember the second one is only a part of the first one.

2. Jon Bon Jovi: Monmouth University, 2001

Nothing can be more important than a strong desire to do something. No matter what you want to be in life or what you want to do, you must have a lot of willpower.

The world doesn't need more gray, and on the other hand, we don't get much color. The desire to be able to do something from a middle position can be one's goal. Remember one thing, desire+persistence = possibility.

3. Steve Jobs: Stanford University, 2005

You can never connect the dots looking ahead. Of course, you have to look back and you have to believe that these points will somehow connect your future with success. You have to believe in everything. Your life, karma, destiny everything. And this belief will lead you to your desired future.

4. Frank McCourt: Syracuse University, 2007

Last year a woman in San Francisco asked me if I had any advice that she was going to become a teacher.

At that moment I could only think of one thing. I told her, to find what you love to do and do it. If you do what you don't love, you will become lifeless. Getting insurance because it's something you don't love doing is equal to death.

5. J.K. Rowling: Harvard University, 2008

Failure is letting go of unnecessary things. I stopped thinking that I was who I really am. And I became more focused on the things that matter most to me. Have I really succeeded in anything? The determination to succeed cannot be found in one place, from where I truly find my place.

And so I set myself free, for I had found the place of my greatest fear. And I was alive, I had a daughter, whom I loved the most, and I had a big dream. And such rocky mountain roads formed a solid foundation from which I could rebuild myself.

6. Ellen DeGeneres: Tulane University, 2009

The definition of success has changed. Success is living with integrity and not giving importance to anything that is not for you. Be honest with yourself, and don't always follow the path shown by others, or you risk losing yourself.

7. Denzel Washington: University of Pennsylvania, 2011

There is nothing more worthy in life if you're able to take the risk. Every risk failure is a step towards success. You have to take risks. You may fail in some areas in life, accept that. You will lose, and fall into embarrassing situations, and in some cases, you may face very bad situations.

No doubt you will face these situations in the path of life so don't discourage yourself. Don't look back. Whenever you fail in life, whenever you fall down, get up and move forward.

8. Maria Shriver: USC Annenberg School of Communication, 2012

I hope that if you can learn anything today, you will actually learn it and remember it. Realize the power of taking a break. A break will teach you to breathe in life, to take a step forward.

Where everyone is running non-stop I say you take a break. Do the opposite of what everyone else is doing. Remember that only taking a break will allow you to reflect on your talents.

9. Tim Minchin: University of Western Australia, 2013

America's talent shows always talk about their dreams. I had no big dreams. And so I was much more motivated and hardworking to accomplish my small goals. Be a little ambitious. Keep your head down and proudly do what's in front of you.

You don't know where these small actions will lead you in the end. Just be aware that your valuable tasks remain within your scope. Because you have to be aware of long-term dreams as well. If you're always looking too far away, you won't be able to see the bright things right around you.

10. Joss Whedon: Wesleyan University, 2013

In today's world, the debate has moved away from the issue and has been replaced by shouting and pitching battles.

The best wisdom is not to debate, but to lose the debate. Losing means you can learn something new and build a new position for yourself.

The best way to know your position is to understand the other side. Knowing the other party is necessary because you are involved with them in some way. You can never run away from this.

11. Shonda Rhimes: Dartmouth, 2014

Do you want to be a writer? A writer writes every day. If you want to become a writer, start writing. Don't you have a job? Find any job.

Don't sit at home and wait for a magical opportunity. who are you, Prince William? No, find any job, go to work. Keep doing something until you can do something else.
