Just finished watching the inspirational and incredibly touching commencement speech delivered by Larry Page, one of the Google cofounders, at U of Michigan. By the end of it I was so touch I almost started crying... and now I really miss my dad :) You must watch it:

A few of my favorite quotes from Larry's address:
"A healthy disregard for the impossible"
" What is the one sentence summary of how you change the world? Always work hard on something uncomfortably exciting!"
"On a day like today, you might feel exhilarated — like you've just been shot out of a cannon at the circus -- and even invincible. Don't ever forget that incredible feeling. But also: always remember that the moments we have with friends and family, the chances we have to do things that might make a big difference in the world, or even to make a small difference to someone you love — all those wonderful chances that life gives us, life also takes away. It can happen fast, and a whole lot sooner than you think."
There's a little glitch in the video, but the full transcript is here:

I am so incredibly moved by his speech... I always was a big Google fan, but I am an even bigger fan now if that is possible. Let me know what you think after you watch it.
