- Written by Adrian Tan, author of The Teenage Textbook (1988), was the guest-of-honour at a recent NTU convocation ceremony. This was his speech to the graduating class of 2008.

I really liked this speech, especially about being hated. Wish I could share at at a graduation.

I enjoyed it too. Especially this part:
