wknecht Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's not directly related to investments but I thought this commencement speech by David Foster Wallace was wonderful so figured I'd post it here: I've only read a couple of Wallace's essays, but he strikes me as an incredibly intelligent and interesting person, so definitely worth looking into for those looking for some non-investment/business reading. Thanks to Frank Voisin, I found this on his site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnamstreet Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 For those of you not into video, you can find an adapted version of the talk: The speech was so popular, it was turned into a book: This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnamstreet Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The Glossary has released a remixed and shortened version of Wallace's talk. The film offers a simple and clear explanation of the value of education and, quite possibly, some of the best life advice you're likely to hear. http://www.farnamstreetblog.com/2013/05/david-foster-wallaces-commencement-speech-this-is-water-remixed-in-a-short-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
