Neil Gaiman - The Best Commencement Speech You May Ever Hear

A fantastic commencement speech by Neil Gaiman(English author of short fiction, novels, comic books, graphic novels, audio theatre and films.) that inspired me, and hopefully everyone in that room. Tidbits that stood out to me include: "The old rules are crumbling and nobody knows what the new rules are. So make up your own rules." and "If your don't know it's impossible, it's easier to do it." This will take about 20 minutes of your time, but I honestly feel that the wisdom instilled are priceless. Enjoy.

Rowing the Atlantic

One hell-of-an Adventure by these fellas... “We wanted to discovery what we were capable of. We wanted to have fun and have an adventure, a vagrant gypsy’s life. We wanted to face and enjoy and endure the scale, the brutal power, and the pristine beauty of the ocean. We wanted to do some difficult and dangerous, daring and different, and fill a void, if only for awhile, in our cotton-wool-wrapped comfortable, conforming, normal lives.” http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/
