Obama: Never stop adding to your body of work
May 17th, 2009
Obama’s speech at ASU made the perfect statement about the controversy surrounding this honorary degree crap. He noted that we should not become complacent with our previous achievements, but instead keep pushing to work harder in your life.
Most importantly, Obama stressed the importance of thankless work that often goes underappreciated. A label such as an honorary degree is an example of something that should not be valued as much as the spirit and drive of a person truly making an effort to improve our world.
Watch his speech here. It was fantastic.
- I had an obstructed view, but it was definitely him!
