great speeches

a collection of wonderful speeches (many of them commencement speeches)

"Runnin' Down a Dream: How to Succeed and Thrive in a Career You Love"

Love this speech by Bill Gurley - one of the common things across top professionals like Bob Dylan, Danny Meyer, etc was that they studied everything they could find about their field, they were masterful students first.
