It's been 20 years since Jimmy V gave this iconic speech. Jimmy V week is this week so it seems appropriate to post about it now. If you don't know who he is, first of all, shame on you. Second, do 30 seconds of research on Google. Or don't... as long as you watch the speech. Yeah, it's 11 minutes long, but you have time. The first minutes 1:00-3:00 and from 7:00 to the end are the most important, so at least watch that.



The 3 biggest quotes from it (if you are really just that lazy not to watch it):
“To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.”
