“Always aspire to act in a way that cancels out someone else’s cruel or stupid behavior.”
― Assume the Worst: The Graduation Speech You'll Never Hear
― Assume the Worst: The Graduation Speech You'll Never Hear
“To sum up:
Figure out what you're good at, and get better at it. Along the way, don't waste your time on people whose decency isn't apparent when you first meet for a cup of coffee. Be an astute judge of character, and learn to judge quickly.
Read the news. Pay attention. Always aspire to act in a way that cancels out someone else's cruel or stupid behavior.
Never stop worrying. Live each day as if your rent is due tomorrow.
And always, always be the one who sleeps near the campfire - the one who would make Darwin proud.”
