Conan O'Brien: Gold Nuggets from Dartmouth 2011

Learned these profound truths from Conan's commencement address:


"...There are few things more liberating in this life than having your worst fear realized"


"The point is this: It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines and makes us unique" 


"It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right, your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention" 


"Whether you fear it or not, disappointment will come.  The beauty is that through disappointment you can gain clarity, and with clarity comes conviction and true originality"
