I much prefer Stephen Colbert's Northwestern commencement speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6tiaooiIo0

And a transcript: https://www.northwestern.edu/newscenter/stories/2011/06/colb...

> But if we should serve others, and together serve some common goal or idea - for any one you, what is that idea? And who are those people?

> In my experience, you will truly serve only what you love, because, as the prophet says, service is love made visible.

> If you love friends, you will serve your friends.

> If you love community, you will serve your community.

> If you love money, you will serve your money.

> And if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself. And you will have only yourself. So no more winning. Instead, try to love others and serve others, and hopefully find those who love and serve you in return.

Interesting, there's a similar theme there, except with "love" instead of "worship".
