Simple Awareness

Out of all the books I have read and speakers that I have heard this comes closest to what I hope is the way that I try look at life and people and situations- the link below is about a nine minute video, I hope that you can find the time to view it.

In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.
We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested.
