This is Water
I love a good dose of inspiration, and I found it today with David Foster Wallace’s This is Water commencement speech. I came across the link, thanks to it being the tenth anniversary of the speech. It’s well-known, but I had never read it. You can also listen to it on YouTube.
My favorite line?
