Inspirational Video

This is a video of Tim Minchin, a comedian who gave a speech at a graduation of an Australian University. I remember watching this video months ago and I always go back to re-watch it and remind myself of it. I think it's full of wonderful advice for everyone.

I appreciate it is a long video (well it's only 10 minutes but our attention spans have become so limited that 10 minutes is considered 'long'!) but if you can watch it all the way through then do so.

He gives all sorts of advice but he does specifically mention teaching at 7.58 and I just love what he says -  please be a teacher.

"Even if you are not a teacher, be a teacher. Share your ideas, don't take for granted your education, rejoice in what you learn and spray it."
