“If you ignore the odds against you…and as you are taught here at this magnificent institution – never, ever quit. Think of David and Goliath. Look at me.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY
"As an athlete, I become agitated when I do not improve in terms of speed, style, and stamina. I keep pushing myself beyond my limits. I apply the same principles in' public service. As a lifelong learner, I must keep improving myself and I must not stop learning. That way, I remain relevant to my people and the world who deserve the best of Manny Pacquiao, inside and outside the ring.
For as long as I exist, I will keep showing up for life. I will continue to be a learner and always strive to be a teacher by imparting my hard-earned lessons to others.
Each one of you in this room can change the world. Have faith, persevere. Find your passion and heed your calling. I urge you, as the Roman poet Horace did: Carpe Diem -- seize the day.
And above all, FIGHT."
