On April 28, , who, along with his beloved wife, Isabel, is among Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트카지노 게임 컬렉션s most generous benefactors, would have turned 100 years old. As we mark this milestone, we remember him in his own words 카지노 게임 컬렉션 a 1986 convocation address in which he shared what he learned at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, his secret to a happy life, and the value of helping others.
I am especially happy to be awarded the degree of LLD, Doctor of Laws, because I have sometimes secretly wished that I were a lawyer, and my good friends know how I have always enjoyed a fight when I knew 카지노 게임 컬렉션 or thought I knew 카지노 게임 컬렉션 that I was right.
Today, I want to talk to you very personally about what Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s has meant to me 카지노 게임 컬렉션 how it has affected, nay, changed my life 카지노 게임 컬렉션 and to share with you what I think is essential for a truly happy life.
To many people, a university is the place where you acquire a profession. And of course, at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s I became a chemist 카지노 게임 컬렉션 good enough to get into graduate school at Harvard, and to start a chemical company.
But Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s taught me more 카지노 게임 컬렉션 it changed my outlook in very personal ways.
My first impressions of Canada were truly mistaken. From the time I came to [the internment camp in] Canada in July of 1940 until I came to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s on 15 November, 1941, I thought that Canadians were largely dishonest and uncivilized. But the great majority of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s people 카지노 게임 컬렉션 students and academics 카지노 게임 컬렉션 were decent and warm-hearted people 카지노 게임 컬렉션 that I learned very quickly.
What is the best advice I can give you today? In life, most of us make two decisions that are far more important than any others. The choice of profession and the choice of our mate. I am reminded of the saying of one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s ablest chemists, Vladimir Prelog, who celebrated his 80th birthday this year. Asked about happiness, he said, 카지노 게임 컬렉션If you want to be happy for an hour, buy a bottle of wine; if you want to be happy for a week, slaughter a pig; if you want to be happy for a year, get married; if you want to be happy for your life, enjoy your work: To which I would add, 카지노 게임 컬렉션Enjoy your work and find a mate with whom you can share everything, and you will be as close to paradise as you can be: As I am. By a happy coincidence, today is Isabel카지노 게임 컬렉션s 60th birthday. We met on a boat from Quebec to Liverpool in 1949, and it took me nine days to propose. Today I wonder why it took me so long 카지노 게임 컬렉션 I just had not proposed to a girl before and so I was a bit slow. The only flaw I discovered in Isabel in all these years was her going to the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto. None of us is perfect.
A great many Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s people have helped me, and I have tried to repay those many acts of kindness by helping others. At the end of my days, I pray that I will have succeeded as Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s succeeded with me 카지노 게임 컬렉션 in helping others in their professions, in their perspectives, in their realization of their potential. The three P카지노 게임 컬렉션s through Q 카지노 게임 컬렉션 profession, perspective, potential through Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.
