"I Wish You Bad Luck"

How the Chief Supreme Court Justice, John Roberts, dropped the realest shit of 2018.

I'm not going to write much for this piece. I'd rather share some advice we all need to hear from Chief Supreme Court Justice, John Roberts, when he delivered a commencement speech for his son's 9th grade class.

First, let's pause and LOL at the fact that some school in America had a 9th grade commencement. LOL. Alright, now let's continue.

The speech he gave never ceases to make my arm hairs stand up and perhaps yours will too. In case you haven't read it yet, here it is:

"Now the commencement speakers will typically also wish you good luck and extend good wishes to you. I will not do that, and I’ll tell you why. From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly, so that you will come to know the value of justice. I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty. Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted. I wish you badluck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either. And when you lose, as you will from time to time, I hope every now and then, your opponent will gloat over your failure. It is a way for you to understand the importance of sportsmanship. I hope you’ll be ignored so you know the importance of listening to others, and I hope you will have just enough pain to learn compassion. Whether I wish these things or not, they’re going to happen. And whether you benefit from them or not will depend upon your ability to see the message in your misfortunes." - Supreme Chief Justice, John Roberts
