TED, 99%, commencement speeches
There are so many great messages out there -- so many people that have something to teach and pass on.
I recently stumbled upon a newer site (to me) - Creative Mornings: a global, monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types. If you only have an hour to spare today, check out this talk from designer Aaron James Draplin of Draplin Design Co. He gives an insightful view into his personal journey, hands out hilarious life lessons, and tells it like it is.
One thing that stuck out is right around 32:50 in the video where Draplin talks about Knowing What Really Matters in the End. For him, it meant finding the time to help out a friend. He touches on this more than once in his lecture and reminds us to leave room for the free stuff -- not just the things you're going to get paid for. Passion projects aren't always money makers...but often times, they become the projects that you're most proud of.
