You are not special

We have lived through a generation of being nice because anything else might result in the need for psychological counselling or lawyers or both.

Check out this video on YouTube.  It is a speech to graduating high school students in the USA.  A speech where we would expect to be told how special, wonderful and privileged we (they) are:

Then listen to this speech by Mike Lazaridi.  The man who started Blacberry among other things.  A tribute to his education and the inspiration of his teachers and mentors in his childhood.
