Watch the video.  It’s worth 20 minutes of your time.

 

You are not special.  “Stop worrying about what gifts we came with and whether or not we’re special and worry a little more about what we’re doing with those gifts.”

We are all a little bit crazy.  “Crazy people make better leaders in times of crisis.”

A lot of what you believe is wrong.  “It’s easy to hate an idea.  It’s easy to hate a creed.  It’s a lot harder to hate a person with whom we break bread.”

You are not as safe as you think.  “So why not stop worrying and start living?”

Your ideas are not that original.  “Your ideas will be as good or bad as the books you read and the people with whom you interact.”

You are chasing the wrong dream.  “Ever more people today have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.”

The time will never be right.  “These excuses that we construct for ourselves end up becoming the shackles that keep us from pursuing our dreams.”
