A MUST Watch for Anyone Seeking Inspiration in Their Work and Life - Neil Gaiman Commencement Address 

5/23/2012

0 Comments

 
This ranks as my second favorite Commencement Address (right behind Steve Jobs SEE BELOW).  Neil Gaiman is a creative writer and author of the 90's comic series Sandman.  He shares his tips, insights and best advice for pursuing a life and career as a creative individual.  Many many great lessons in this 20 minute video, well worth your time.  

My favorite line "Make mistakes...it means you are out there doing something."

Have a favorite inspiring commencement address of your own?  I would love to watch it, please share a link in the comments below, thanks!

As mentioned above, my favorite Commencement Address was delivered by Steve Jobs in 2005. In this speech, Steve shares many of the philosophies that he uses in his own life to motivate himself.  Steve's body of work speaks for itself and I consider his advice as some of the best I've come across.  Watch this video when you get a chance.

My favorite line: 
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ‘If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.’ It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."
