Jerry Zucker was a student at Unversity of Wisconsin. He claims that he was just an average student and that "not one teacher I ever had in grade school, high school or college would've believed that there was even the slightest chance that one day I would be asked to give the commencement address at a major university". Jerry many have been pretty average but he is very wise and had some very good points in his speech.
One thing that Jerry said was that "I work in a business where almost everyone is waiting for the next big thing. Sometimes it comes, and sometimes it doesn't. But it doesn't matter that your dream came true if you spent your whole life sleeping. So get out there and go for it, but don't be caught waiting". Jerry was trying to say that you shouldn't worry about the future and plan out your future. You need to worry about the present time and dream for the future, but make sure not to get too caught up in your dreams. Another thing that Jerry said was that "Don't do anything that 30 years from now you'll look back at and say, 'Oh, my God, why the hell did I do that?!' ". I think that is also a good point because you hear that on a daily basis. People are always worrying about the past and the misatkes you've made. I think that Jerry was very into the belief that you need to focus on now to live your life to the fullest. Not the past of the future. You need to move on.
Jerry also mentioned that  "If you're going to fail, fail big. If you don't, you're never going to make a difference." I think that is a good point. I think that Jerry believes that if you are going to do something, you should do it to the best of your ability and not do what others expect from you. Jerry had some very good points in his commencement speech.
Jerry is very famous for his saying " Ask yourself one question: If I didn't have to do it perfectly, what would I try?" Jerry's speech was second in the top commencement speeched list after Steve Jobs. I think that Jerry Zucker is a very wise man.
