Conan O'Brien's 2011 Dartmouth Commencement Speech

Nice quote:

"It is our failure to become our perceived ideal, that ultimately defines us, and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune, and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for reinvention."

as I watch this, I need to point out the amazing Harvard commencement speech from Conan in 2000

edit: watched it. The harvard one was much better, imo. highly recommended.

and also Conan's commencement speech to Stuyvesant High School in 2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi4-1d9DB9Q

I enjoyed this greatly when I found it on Reddit.

Flagged.
