Inspiration

I know that 90% of the world has seen this already.  But if you have not - check it out.  You will not be dissapointed.  There is truth to every joke.  Sometimes more truth than humor :)

Conan O'Brien's Dartmouth Commencement Speech - June 12, 2011

A few of the snippets that inspired me today:
"There are few things more liberating in this life than having your worst fear realized."

"It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right - your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound reinvention."

"Whether you fear it or not, dissapointment will come. The beauty is that through dissapointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes true originality."

"Work hard, be kind, and amazing things will happen."

Here is a full transcript, too.
