1. constantly improves himself, if you don't make progress every day, it is a waste of life;
2. chooses the right partner The true partner not only likes the present you, but also sees your potential and falls in love with the future of you;
3. children, our children will also promote the development of our own potential and creativity;
4. close friend, like true love, will tell you the truth of the matter;
5. chooses one A meaningful career, your career must have a purpose, otherwise it will be a waste of time.

below is the full text of Iman's speech:
your respected Dean, old teacher, parents, and classmates, everybody:
American movies and TV shows when I was little, misled me about the definition of success. My idol at that time was the image of a popular culture that pursues meaningless, material, superficial and self centred. When I know these so-called heroes are in fact unhappy for many times, I feel very confused and do not know what is the most important. At that time, I felt that the American dream was to get a college diploma, find a decent job, enjoy life, earn a lot of money, and think about how ridiculous it is. But it was all I knew at the time, and then I started studying at Baruch College for the first two years, when I spent more time at a party than I used to study. My major is Entrepreneurship and the market. The best way to learn from my tutor system is to practice. So I tried to persuade every bodyguard to let me into the club, persuade the organizers to give me a free drink and chase every girl in the city. Maybe everyone would feel like that life is very happy, but it will soon feel tired, every morning to wake up, my stomach is particularly uncomfortable, I can not help asking myself, I did all, why still not happy, when will the arrival of happiness?
Adam Newman.
