Dr. Berra’s 1996 Commencement speech advice to the graduates and answers to the quiz: “First; Never give up, because it ain’t over ‘til it’s over. Second; During the years ahead, when you come to a fork in the road, take it. Third; Don’t always follow the crowd, because no one goes there anymore. It’s too crowded. Fourth; Stay alert – you can observe a lot by watching. Fifth and last; Remember that whatever you do in life, 90 percent of the game is half mental. In closing, I want to quote myself again: Thank you, Montclair State University, for making this day necessary.”
