I think I first saw this on Tom Peter’s Blog.

Hall of Fame basketball player Larry Bird was once asked what he wanted his epitaph to be; surprisingly, he said that he wanted to have played as hard at practices where not a soul was in attendance as in Game 7 of a World Championship series. Nice.

That’s something I occasionally need to remind myself on weekend outings.

I wanted to make this video the first real post to my blog. It’s Sir Ken Robinson, a British creativity guru, talking at the TED conference in 2006.

Watch it, download it here, and tell other people about it. It’s fascinating and inspirational.
