read this after friend tweeted about it. it will make you feel (just a tad) useless if you don't go to MIT, but it's brilliant.

One of my roommates when I was two years out of college, who had formerly been a bit of a track star at MIT, and I had finished watching Chariots of Fire one night at 2 a.m. I told him that it made me feel like running. He simply told me “Don’t waste inspiration.” I reminded him that it is 2 a.m. He said “so what; don’t waste inspiration.” I looked at him for a few seconds and realized that he was dead serious. I jumped off the couch, threw on my running shoes and took to the streets.

someone on FB: "I'm at my UCLA Economics graduation ceremony, and the keynote speaker is basically saying that our graduating class will enter a bleak economy, and we'll have a shitty life."

I absolutely loved it.

Lesson #7, graduates: Hopes, dreams, and aspirations - they are distributed evenly throughout the entire world, but what is not is justice, opportunity, and working systems. There is still too much injustice in the world, graduates, and I think we all need to spend more time thinking about it, addressing it the best we can, and feeling compelled to act.
