To Daniel Timbs - this kid is doing a speech to inspire the incoming freshman and having them be glad to be at GA Tech. Those same students have parents there PAYING for this education. This was engaging, charming, full of insight beyond most 19-year-olds and brilliantly done. I wish he were my son. And, I'm guessing, Gwyneth Paltrow is really, really flattered.

I saw a bit of this on the morning news today and wanted to follow it up here. I enjoyed it! What amazed me was the number of nonplussed reactions there were to it. Passion and spirit are something to exalt not denigrate. When I looked into the eyes of Ayrton Senna I saw intensity. What I saw in Pat Tillman's eyes was focused energy. When I heard Nick Selby's speech he reminded me of them.

In high school we were challenged to present a speech to inspire. Nick did it! Did you see the smile on the guy over his left shoulder (the one who might be a significant part of the upper echelon on the university)? Did you notice that he did not stand behind the podium using cue cards? Did you notice that he made eye contact all over the place? Did you notice that he moved and put the mic in both hands and used gestures? Did you notice he used humor? Care if he graduates? He'll do well!

There are people that make things happen, people that watch things happen and there are people that wonder what happened. Those who make negative comments are in the special group that wont make anything happen because they are unwilling to take chances themselves so they make themselves feel better by commenting on those that make things happen. They can however change and make things happen!

The theme was written as the introduction to a much longer work, which was inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophical treatise of the same name. However, even after all its use in everything from epic meditations on the future of humanity to the introduction of new commercial products; it still carries quite an impact.
