GEOFF BENNETT: Over the past month, college seniors have been donning their caps and gowns to mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.

They're facing a daunting future, entering a rapidly transforming job market, thanks to artificial intelligence, global unrest, and a host of other factors.

AMNA NAWAZ: It was against this backdrop that graduation speakers took to the stage to provide their best advice with honesty, passion, and humility.

Here now are some notable speeches you might have missed.

QUEEN LATIFAH, Musician: I was thinking about what I would say to you today, what advice I would give you in terms of life advice, career advice, what I would say to myself if I were your age or if it were my son graduating.

And I would probably tell you, it's scary out there!

(LAUGHTER) TOM BRADY, Former NFL Quarterback: Overcoming fear and doubt in the face of those challenges is where you're going to gain the confidence to make your best choices when things aren't going the way you want.

You may only get one chance to impress your boss or land a promotion, or to close a deal or not.

So what then?

You better have prepared yourself in advance to deal with the adversity you're going to face in order to give yourself the best chance to succeed.

HODA KOTB, "The Today Show": Your trip's not someone else's trip.

Don't worry about who's next to you.

Don't worry about if they get promoted before you.

Don't worry about if they get a house first.

You run your race, OK?

All of my blessings happened after 50.

I know it sounds weird, all of them.

I got the job of my dreams at "The Today Show."

I got the family I have dreamt of.

I have two kids now.

Your blessings come when they come, and they come right on time.

ERIC CHURCH, Musician: Your generation faces a temptation no generation before has ever faced, the temptation to perform for everyone and belong to no one, to be globally visible and locally invisible, to have thousands of followers and no one knows actually where you live.

Resist this.

Plant yourself somewhere.

Put down roots with the full intention of growing there.

HILARY DUFF, Actress: Redirecting your energy in one area can mean sprinting in another.

The key is that I was choosing where my energy went, instead of letting others choose for me.

A wonderful part of giving yourself that space is you can look back and see the distance you have traveled.

(CHEERING) ANDY COHEN, Executive Producer, Bravo TV: Success is building a community and keeping that community close.

Cherish your community.

It will become the fabric of your life.

Nurture your friends and acquaintances.

Stay in touch.

Be kind.

Reach out.

Check in.

Be the person that's there for others.

Show up.

CONAN O'BRIEN, Former Host, "Late Night With Conan O'Brien": I honestly believe that community, spontaneity, and a real commitment to humility has helped me build a rich life that means much more to me than any diploma.

And, believe me, I'm not saying the goal is to renounce accomplishments, but rather to metabolize them.

If you carry your victories lightly, other qualities, kindness, originality, courage, humor, and humanity, have room to emerge.
