This week an old friend, Duke Professor of Economics George Tauchen, referred me to the 2005 Commencement Address from Kenyon College by David Foster Wallace.
David Foster Wallace suggests something stronger than a one-week exercise on attention and awareness. Read his speech HERE or listen to it on YouTube. For the version where I have highlighted my favorite parts, click HERE.
We are going to do this exercise for another week, because the blog wasn't working this past week. Besides, this is the first week of the rest of your life, and you can get a jump on all those others who wait until they graduate to start practicing the "unimaginably difficult" exercise of choosing what you think!
