Thomas L. Friedman ...

Excerpts from Friedmans' commencement speech at Rensselaer. Check the below post.

First, What you learned in college really matters.
Second, what you learned to imagine in college matters even more.
Third, how you implement, how you implement what you imagine is going to matter most of all.

In the future, the most important competition is the one between you and your own imagination.

If it’s not happenin’, it’s because you’re not doin’ it.

“Always work like you don’t need the money, always fall in love like you’ve never been hurt, always sing like nobody’s listening and always, always live like it’s heaven on earth.”
- Mark Twain

“Tom, I know why you’re an optimist. It’s because you’re short and you can only see that part of the glass that’s half full.”
