Connan O’Brien’s Dartmouth College Commencement Address.
While Connan’s address is both hilarious and witty, he actually has a really humbling and provocative message. Most interestingly, I think I would never expect to find such a message here in Japan and this highlights the cultural differences brought about between a place like the States and Japan. One emphasizes a path of independence and a freedom to fail, the other emphasizes a path of relative stability and the comfort of knowing what’s to come. While neither is necessarily correct nor better, it makes me realize that what I have experienced has imparted upon me, in even the smallest way, an understanding of the difference between two very different places. This is something that, whether it be a mistake, a failure, or a success, is one that I shall never regret.
