Good intentions are not enough. Being a good person begins with being a wise person. Then, when you follow your conscience,you will be headed in the right direction. In short, it is your responsibility, men and women of the class of 2010, not just to be zealous in the pursuit of your ideals, but to be sure that your ideals are the right ones. That is perhaps the hardest part of being a good human being.
