You've got to dig deep and work like crazy, and that's when you'll find out what you're really made of during those hard times. But you can only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fail, and that's why so often failure is the key to success."
She used several examples of people -- including her husband, President Barack Obama, and Oprah Winfrey -- to illustrate that triumph is a natural byproduct of adversity.
See what Barack Obama, Toni Morrison and others had to say at this year's commencement ceremonies.

Tuesday, May 21, 8:10 a.m. EDT: Audio experts in George Zimmerman's second-degree-murder case in the death of Trayvon Martin disagree about the source of the screams for help captured on 911 calls, the Associated Press reports. One audio expert says in a report released today that the screams came from Trayvon, while another audio expert says the shouts were a mix of Trayvon and Zimmerman.
A Virginia family is understandably a little shaken up after the father, Joseph -- a white man who didn't want his last name revealed -- was suspected of kidnapping two biracial girls. They just happened to be his daughters. Oops.
According to the mom, Keana (whose presence at the store likely would have cleared things up and avoided the ordeal), it all started when a customer at the Walmart where dad and daughters were shopping became concerned that the family "didn't match up." A security guard was alerted, and next thing they knew, a police officer was at their door. From the Huffington Post:
... [T]hey were even more surprised by the reason for the cop's visit-- to question whether or not they were in fact their children's parents.
