Admiral McRaven knocked this speech out of the park in less than 20 minutes.  I think he captured a lot of what MU and all other universities should be building into their curriculum and what parents should be preaching at home.

Here is the transcript if you don't want to watch it.

I saw this the other day.
The Steve Jobs speech is included.  The Amy Poehler line had me laughing.

As long as we are on the subject, the commencement speaker at this year's Marquette graduation was great.  Much better than the self-serving performance by Bill Cosby last year. 

And did I mention he gives name-checks Real Chili?

Solid advice from a great American. Accountability is woefully lacking in contemporary society. Fortunately, in McRaven's world it is a foundational tenet.

That was great, and it doesn't surprise me in the least.  Cosby was decent.  But James Martin, is a funny, but incredibly thoughtful individual.
