In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. 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.
We made this video, built around an abridged version of the original audio recording, with the hopes that the core message of the speech could reach a wider audience who might not have otherwise been interested. However, we encourage everyone to seek out the full speech (because, in this case, the book is definitely better than the movie).

Dove Real Beauty Sketches Ad
Famous for its use of real women posing confidently, wearing nothing but white underwear and big toothy grins, Dove’s ‘Real Beauty’ campaign has continued to reinvent female-focused marketing since its launch over a decade ago.
Now, Real Beauty Sketches, the campaign’s latest instalment, is taking the internet by storm by revealing that women really are their own harshest critics.
In the video above, forensic artist Gil Zamora (who sketches a handful of women from description alone) notes the disparity between the way women describe their own appearance and the way they are described by others.
