Sandra Oh Gets Graduates to “Dance It Out”

The award-winning actor encourages graduates to embrace discomfort to develop inner strength.

“Nothing has taught me more than being with discomfort. It can be our greatest learning opportunity. And it is also inevitable. So, if you can train yourself not to turn away, but to learn to be with your discomfort — and trust that it might be telling you something you don’t yet know.”
