Big Ben's Commencement Speech

Ben Bernanke is a very smart, and more importantly, a very wise man. His commencement speech at Princeton this year is probably the first time Ben opened up and spoke honestly, as his current occupation doesn't allow him to make many unrehearsed public statements. He speaks about life, expectations and aspirations of the current college graduates, and addresses life's biggest questions and graciously offers his answers. I urge you to take 10 minutes to read what he had to say. Some of my favorite quotes:

"A career decision based only on money and not on love of the work or a desire to make a difference is a recipe for unhappiness." - Ben Bernanke

"If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction." - Ben Bernanke
