Realize that the reason most people fail isn’t because of the competition but because of the limits they place upon themselves, allowing defeat to take over. Take responsibility for your destiny.

A very important stage of your life came to an end. There were a lot of obstacles and failures that you overcame successfully. But they were only a repetition given you in order to get stronger and prepare for a new stage in life. Good luck!

-

Young people strive to be educated and learn a trade. Someone wants to become a good programmer, the other wants to be a famous musician. But I believe that the only truly significant purpose of our life is to become a great man. Remember it.

-

Today the future lies before all of you just like a field of driven snow, be cautious about how you are going to tread it.

-

You get to decide about things that have meaning and things that doesn’t. Only you have to decide what to worship.

-

Make up your own rules and be your own boss. All the old rules are falling to pieces and no one knows what new rules are.

-

Today is the day of your graduation, but first of all I want to congratulate you on your growing up. Maybe it sounds a little bit sad, but being a grown up isn’t that bad

- actually it’s the best opportunity to know life and yourself. Good luck!

You graduated! I’m so proud of you! Don’t forget to thank the Internet, Google, Wikipedia and every program that helped you, because without them you would be doomed! Good luck with your next step in life!

-

Today it the day when you get your professional degree. It may seem that your education is over, but that’s not exactly true. The truth is that your whole life is a continuous process of education and self-development. Good luck!

-

Although you’re a grown-up already I want to wish you to take a little part of your childhood everywhere you go. Be a kid somewhere in your heart and never let the adult world to let you down.

-

Graduation is the day, when you think you’re all grown up, independent, and just think you can do anything! The day after graduation… well let’s just say you have no idea what you’re doing with your life…

-

Graduation is not the end

- this is just the beginning. It’s a new start that will change your life completely and bring much experience. Live your life wisely and don’t waste it in vain. Good luck!

Graduation doesn’t mean being a grown up and mature person. Although you have some experience already, you’ll find out that the world holds even more things to explore and learn within it. Be brave and curious

- and you’ll conquer it all!

So, graduation day is finally here! All of us are wishing you good luck in the future! We’re so proud of you, honey!

-

Today is your graduation

- the event that will change your life forever. There so many possibilities and chances, so many roads to choose. And I really wish you that among all these ways you would choose your own way. Congratulations!

How one knows that he’s doing something right? It feels so. Feelings are your truest GPS system for life. When you are meant to do something or not, your emotional guidance system lets you know.

-

I can’t believe I graduated, I’m so proud of myself! I wanted to thank my computer for always being there, for my printer that failed me several times, but still gave me hope, and most importantly my family, thank you all!

-

I know it wasn’t easy to graduate with such success. But you did it. There is no such word as impossible for you, and that’s what makes you so special. Wishing you the best of luck in the future, congratulations!

-

I wish you from the bottom of my heart to have only great things on your way: loyal friends, true love, understanding and close-knit family, a profession that will bring you money and satisfaction. Good luck, wishing you a successful career ahead!

-

Even though many roads you travel, I hope and wish that you choose not to be a viscount. I wish you find ways to break the rules and make yourself successful.

-

May this day be very special for you. May the Sun be warmer than ever and may the stars shine brighter. May this wonderful day be the start of your adult life where all your hopes and dreams will immediately come true. Congratulations!

-

I always said to myself

- never give up, because if your future self didn’t use a time machine to stop you from doing it, It isn’t that bad… But, I was so wrong, because time machines are not even invented yet…

You’ve coped with sleepless nights and biggest disappointments, but in the end, you’ve reached the top. Congratulations on your graduation, dear! I’m so endlessly proud to call someone this smart my friend.

-

Leaving school means leaving childhood… It’s very, very sad, but on the other hand it’s a very bright and promising event, because it is a springboard into new life. Wish you good luck and resilience!

-

Imagine a perfect life the way you see it. Imagine that everything is possible. All you have to do is to be hard-working and resilient. Congratulations on the graduation!

-

So graduation is here, school is over, let’s face it, you hated it when it started, but tomorrow, when you wake up, you will miss all of those faces you used to see every day, all the teachers and especially all the memories!

-

Don’t obtain society’s definition and meaning of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s only working for individuals who make pharmaceuticals for high blood pressure, stress and so on.

-

I can’t believe I won’t hear you complaining about your grades anymore. Such a relief! Just kidding. I’m so proud of you, mate. You did outstanding, and I know that it is just the beginning of something even more amazing.

-

For you the sky is not the limit, buddy. You are the most ambitious and smart human being I know, and I’m so happy that now you can finally start changing the world. Congratulations on your graduation, mate!

-

There’s only one thing I want to wish you this day: follow your dreams. May your lucky star show you the way of happiness and well-being! Good luck!

-

I finally made it! Although I made very bad decisions through school, but look at me! I’m here, and I’m going to do great in life! Or that’s what I think at least… ?

-

A completely new stage in your life starts today. Open the door to it confidently and greet new life with a big smile on your face. Don’t be afraid of the unknown, I’m sure everything will be fine.

-

Remember, dreams can change at any point in your life. If we’d all be stuck with our first dream, the whole world would be invaded by cowboys. So, just remember whatever you dream, if you didn’t achieve it, you haven’t failed and are not a looser.

-

Life is not easy, but you shouldn’t be afraid of it. It will bring you a lot more pleasure if you learn to love and enjoy it. And your youth is the best time to get a taste for life. Congratulations on your graduation, my friend! May you always fly high!

-

Now you’ll have to make some severe decisions that will influence your job, career, surroundings and even your future in general. You’ll receive a lot of pieces of advice from your family and friends, but the only person you have to listen to is you. Good luck!

-

One must do almost everything in life including travel, lead, innovate, fall in love, get rich and famous. But, it must be done to an extent that you should be right in the direction of kindness.

-

You finally finished high school! Congratulations! I wish you good luck in the future, good luck finding a job that truly fits you and your personality, and just play luck in your own life, because let’s face it, you are all grown up!

-

You’re young, intelligent and ambitious person. What else do you need to succeed in life? I’ll tell you. You need love and friendship

- without them wealth and professional success mean nothing. Good luck!

Happy graduation! You can be proud of yourself! I wish that every step that you take is successful. Good luck to you!

-

Leaving the school/the University behind doesn’t mean leaving the past behind. You spent the best years of your life there and many pleasant feelings are relevant to it. Remember your past, but continue to move on. Good luck!

-

Graduation is one of the most unforgettable events in our life. It’s filled with joyful memories, ambitions and hopes for a better future. Wishing you the best of luck in all your endeavors! Congratulations!

-

Graduation morning… you wake up, you feel fresh, new, energised. Then comes the day, you feel ready to do anything, you know you got this, finally you graduate… And in the evening comes the party… But then the next morning, you wake up lost, and don’t know what to do with your life.

-

Never forget where you come from. Never forget your friends, teachers and bright moments shared with them. Your future and your past are inextricably linked, that’s why you should appreciate your roots. Wish you good luck!

-

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that individuality is the key to success.

- Robert Orben

The very purpose of our life is happiness, which is sustained by hope…. Hope means keeping going, thinking, ‘I can do this.’ It brings inner strength, self-confidence, the ability to do what you do honestly, truthfully, and transparently.

-

Don’t buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it’s not working for men, it’s not working for polar bears, it’s not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us. It’s only truly working for those who make pharmaceuticals for stress, diabetes, heart disease, sleeplessness, and high blood pressure.

- Arianna Huffington

Your parents, proudly here today, and their parents before them, perhaps proudly here today, understood a simple equation for success: your children would do better than you had.

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hands.
