My mother is constantly sending me things that she believes will help to inspire me and find some direction in my life. She emailed and/or printed out Steve Jobs' Stanford University commencement speech no less than three times for me to read. I still haven't read it.
A couple months ago, she forwarded me yet another inspirational email. 80% of the time I really do open them up and at least take a look. This was one of those times. I noticed that the length of the attachment was quite long, which usually means a quick scan and delete, but this one had pictures, so I was intrigued.
For all of my artsy friends and followers out there, I really liked a lot of what this guy had to say. And did I mention there were pictures? So here I am, passing it on to you. I hope that you enjoy it, but if you feel the need to email me inspiration, just send me a Starbucks card instead.

And yes, I realized that by passing this on, it makes me even more like my mother than I already am. Please refrain from further comments regarding this.
Enjoy.
