Dr. Seuss - Empowerment Uninhibited
"Be who you are, and say what you feel, because those that mind don’t matter and those that matter don’t mind."
- Theodor Geisel (Dr. Suess)
The thing we have to learn from Dr Seuss is never to give up the creative magic that leads us through life, because in every person there is an internal impulse that unfortunately is not always realized.
Conan O'Brien's Dartmouth College Commencement Address
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 be a catalyst for profound re-invention. In 2000, I told graduates to not be afraid to fail, and I still believe that. But today I tell you that whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come.
The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality.
