Colin Powell 2012 commencement speech

[@ChevyTheChevmentz92]

“It ain’t where you start in life. It’s where you end and what you did along the way.” This speech was very inspiring. I needed some reassurance that getting on the honour roll has nothing to do with how successful you'll be in life. Because I've tried and tried for the past 3.5 years but to no avail, but that disappointment never deterred me from working hard, because I've always been a determined hard worker and I will continue to be.

Amazingly positive words from a man who just ended his tour of duty on this earth. RIP, Colin Powel, American hero and role model. Excellent advice for all.

[@ORLANDOARIASORLANDO]

One of the few honest Republicans in this world. A man who really returned to the right track after supporting the diplomatic thaws that Obama did with Cuba and Iran. And he did it as a way to free himself from the heavy load that he carried for over 10 years after being blackmailed by Cheney's lies.

This is a terrific speech. Many thanks to General and former Secretary of State Powell for this inspiration.

Every University should be giving this guy honorary degrees cause what he knows and accomplished, there isn't a course or program that can teach what he does.

[@trentcarr7247]

RIP Colin Powell

[@ORLANDOARIASORLANDO]

He was the only member of the infamous Bush administration who really had the guts to support the diplomatic thaws that Obama did with Cuba and Iran.

[@bigbub5219]

It makes me so sad that he will never run for president... /sigh, I can only dream, right?

[@lucasadam65]

what the fuck is wrong with you consciously deceived the world in 2003 you ignorent doup

[@ORLANDOARIASORLANDO]

@@lucasadam65 Powell didn't wanted to do it originally, However because of Cheney and Bush's evil ambitions we ended up knowing the rest of the whole story. And the reason that why Powell supported the diplomatic thaws that Obama did with Cuba and Iran it's because he did it as a way to free himself from the heavy load that he carried for over 10 years after being blackmailed by Cheney's lies.
