Conan O’Brien’s comments about cynicism
Sunday, 24 January 2010
“To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I’ll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.” Conan O’Brien

This comment nearly made me cry when he said it, and it still does now. So simple, so sincere, and so wise. From a comedian… who’d have thought? Bless Conan for setting such a powerfully good example, and caring enough to actually take the time to say this to his audience. And thank you Julia, for sharing it here as well.
