Conan O'Brien's 2011 Dartmouth Commencement Speech
- mikeleeorg 15y agoNice 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."
- arn 15y agoas I watch this, I need to point out the amazing Harvard commencement speech from Conan in 2000 Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cFY0-IFcwc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cFY0-IFcwc Transcript: http://www.allowe.com/Humor/book/COBspeech2k.htm http://www.allowe.com/Humor/book/COBspeech2k.htm edit: watched it. The harvard one was much better, imo. highly recommended.
