Kermit the frog drops 3 pieces of wisdom in the graduation speech
Kermit the Frog’s dream has always been to spread joy and happiness, and that is exactly what he did with a recent visit to a graduation ceremony.
The beloved green amphibian delivered a graduation speech to the 2025 class of the University of Maryland on Thursday, where he received rounding applause. Drappe in what Muppet himself described as “a small cap and gown,” delivered words of encouragement and inspiration, along with a prognosis with a “100% frog probability.”
“I feel honored to share some words of wisdom about three things that are close to my heart: find your people, make the jump and make connections,” Kermit said.

The green legend said that the creator of Muppets, Jim Henson, who died in 1990, attended the institution.
The school campus has a statue of man and frog sitting in a bank, apparently in an in -depth conversation.
Kermit said that Henson taught him about “finding your people” and taught him that “the only thing about you must always be shared.”
“There is no guarantee that the show is always good or that it goes without problems, or does not have its, UH, hecklers,” he said. “But the program must continue. And if you are with your people, then you will not have to do it alone, because life is not a solo act.”
Kermit then discussed the importance of friendship and community, and reminded the graduates that “they are always attentive to the old friends you just met.”

Then, the character got on his second theme: “Give the leap”, and continued offering more wisdom of wisdom to anyone who was willing to “take the advice of a frog.”

“Instead of jumping on someone to get what you want, consider reaching your hand and make the leap next to each other,” he advised. “Life is better when we jump together.”
Finally, Muppet talked about the importance of staying connected: for its people, their values and their purpose.
“If I know anything, it is important to stay connected to your loved ones, stay connected to your friends and, above all, stay connected to your dreams,” the amphibian concluded.
