A Dose of Inspiration from Nora Ephron

In A Dose of Inspiration, For Dream Chasers, Learning from Legends

From Nora Ephron’s commencement address to the Wellesley graduating class of 1996…

“Maybe young women don’t wonder whether they can have it all any longer, but in case any of you are wondering, of course you can have it all. What are you going to do? Everything, is my guess. It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess. It will be complicated, but rejoice in the complications. It will not be anything like what you think it will be like, but surprises are good for you. And don’t be frightened: you can always change your mind. I know: I’ve had four careers and three husbands.”
