George Saunder's Advice to Graduates
Sanders is arguing kindness and never to regret opportunities to be kind. He's effective by using his humor and his own personal experiences. For examples he says No, I don't regret. Skinny-dipping in a river in Sumatra, a little buzzed, and looking up and down into the river, there river in which was swimming with my mouth open, naked? and getting deathly ill afterwards,and staying sick from the next seven months Not so much. He's say live life to the fullest. The reason he's arguing persuing you to be kind he says But heres something I do regret: In the seventh grad he had this kid in his class and she was contstantly picked on but mr. Sanders never picked on her he actually would occasionally defend her and never said a unkind word to her. Then he instates that situation bothered him, He personally experienced some get picked on at that moment he realized that what he regret most in his life was " failures of kindness." George Saunders small story of his airplane experience inspire his speech. He had an almost death experience in that airplane I bet at that moment everything flashed before his eyes and made him realize after he survived that to never regret and live life to the fullest and to be kind because its better to do then to regret. In my opinion It's his testimoney and he shares it with everyone to inspire people and to teach lessons with his life experiences to touch his readers.
