I always tell people if you try to connect the dots of your career, if you mess it up you’re going to wind up on a very limited path. If I decided what I was going to do in college—when there was no Internet, no Google, no Facebook … I don’t want to make that mistake. The reason I don’t have a plan is because if I have a plan I’m limited to today’s options.”

-Sheryl Sandberg

Extraordinary speech by Conan O’Brien: his commencement address to the Dartmouth Class of 2011. Inspiring and ever the comedic genius.
