(DA) Fear, Failure and Accomplishment

I just watched 60 seconds of Jim Carrey's commencement address to a graduating class. I have no idea who is graduating, what school it is, or in which country he is speaking, but his 60 Seconds are wonderful. 

He reminds us that our decisions are made from fear or love (or fear disguised as practicality). He said one of the lessons he learned from his dad: his dad didn't believe he could make a living as a comedian, so he took a 'safe' job as an accountant. Then he lost that 'safe' job. 

Jim Carrey said, you can still fail at the 'safe' thing, so why not try, and maybe fail at the thing you LOVE!

Wise words Jim. Thanks for the reminder.
