A short film by The Glossary of the late writer David Foster Wallace‘s inspirational 2005 speech to the graduation class of Kenyon College Ohio. The Glossary sez:

It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.
