When you talk or write or film, you work with the music inside you, the music that formed you. [...] So for this age, for your time, I want you to just think about this: Think about NOT waiting your turn.
Later on…
If you can… fall in love, with the work, with people you work with, with your dreams and their dreams. Whatever it was that got you to this school, don’t let it go. Whatever kept you here, don’t let that go. [...]
And don’t stop. Just hold on… and keep loving what you love…
- Robert Krulwich, Commencement Speech at Berkeley May 7, 2011
Read the full, very worthwhile speech here.
It’s about journalism, but his wisdom applies to all fields (oh! how the working world has changed!) Read and be inspired… And enlightened!
