Response to Wallace "This Is Water"

This article is a commencement address by Wallace. In the speech, Wallace explains what is liberal arts education. Wallace believes students should not believe the degree they get will only help them to get a job. More important is the knowledge, world view  and human value they get from the school. Wallace also said that, as people have different background knowledge, they may  have different opinion toward same thing. There is absolute right answer for these questions. There is no right or wrong questions in our life, all the situation we met in our life are multiple choice questions. It is not matter "what to think" ,but matters "how to think". 

I love this speech, as it tells me what is real value of my college education and what I need to emphasize in my college life.
