"This is Water": A Message for New Graduates
David Foster Wallace was an award winning author who suffered from depression. He gave a commencement speech called "This is Water." This is a part of that speech. It's about first world problems graduates will encounter. This video runs about nine minutes, but is probably the best commencement address I've ever heard.
BTW: Wallace committed suicide by hanging himself three years later after giving this speech. He was 46 years old. |
