I'm pretty sure I've heard this speech before, but it really strikes a chord in me. The late David Foster Wallace gave a commencement speech in 2005, and this video adds some imagery to the speech.

This talk by the late David Foster Wallace might just change the way you see the tiny, sometimes annoying, details of life. This simple unChristian talk might just blow your mind & Make You a Better Christian. This was the commencement speech he gave at Kenyon College in 2005.

Seems like something to go back to on a regular basis to me.
