  • 🇪🇸 Cosas que (quizás) me hubiese gustado oír al acabar la carrera
    June 8, 2012
    🔗

    Graduation speech for the students of graduating in 2012 in Computer Engineering in my university, Santiago de Compostela. After graduating in 2007 and having started a company since then, I got the chance to participate in the graduation ceremomy with a speech.

    Maybe the best thing is that I thought that the “inspirational quote” that I used to close the speech was from Steve Jobs - as I had seen attributed in Wikiquote. But it turned to be a joke added to the page - where the quote itself is from a Digimon son 🤷 (Butter-Fly, in particular).
