This speech is the perfect blend of humor and sound advice:

"I’m here to tell you this. Forget about your life expectancy.

After all, it’s calculated based on an average. And you never, ever want to expect being average."

I actually take issue with this line. Unless given evidence to the contrary, don't you have to expect being average at any particular thing?

Of course I'm nitpicking though. His point is that you shouldn't aspire to averageness, and overall it's a great speech.
