Lessons Learned
- If You Don't Know It's Impossible, It's Easier To Do - Author Neil Gaiman's Commencement Speech to Philadelphia's University of Arts 2012 graduating class. He talks about his life as a freelancer. And the best advice that took him 15 years before he followed it (from Steven King, no less). (Vimeo.com via LifeHacker.com)
- 2012's Best Commencement Speeches - A roundup. I suggest reading the synopsis of each speech as the writer solidly sums them up and may not necessarily be worth your time. Don't miss the Aaron Sorkin speech or Jane Lynch's. (guardian.co.uk)
- What's Your Story? - X-Men Producer Ralph Winters deconstructs the making of a great story en route to urging everyone to discover their story. He's speaking at Oral Roberts University, in case you're offended by strong religious references... mixed in with references to Darth Vader, Indiana Jones and James Bond. (YouTube.com)
