You must read this commencement address he gave. I can only think of one other piece of prose, by Dave Eggers on the topic of selling out, that spoke to me this way.
It's one of those pieces I print out and keep close to me because it connected with me on a personal level, just the way my favorite lyrics do. It tapped into something inside me that makes me want to be better, to live with intention, and to act in accordance with the ideals that these words awakened in me. Every. Single. Day.
It's also one of those pieces I have an evangelical need to share with my friends.
It's one of those pieces that I can't wait to share with my kids when they get older.
It's that good. It reminds me of the power of the written word to move people and affect how they look at the world.
Please read it.
I'm sure we'll have a lot to talk about.
