Motivational Video #5: Uncle Hub's Speech.
"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in." -Uncle Hub in Secondhand Lions.
Motivational Video #4: You are not special.
"You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap." -David McCullough Jr
Some real-life, down-to-earth statistics to make us reflect on how we can really make a difference. Delivered as a Wellesley High School (Massachusetts) Graduation Speech in 2012.
