00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:06.840
DANIEL PINK: I need to make a
confession at the outset here.

00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:12.679
Um, little over 20 years ago
I did something that I regret,

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:16.449
something that I am not
particularly proud of, something

00:00:16.449 --> 00:00:20.153
that in many ways I wish no one
would ever know but that here

00:00:20.153 --> 00:00:22.155
I feel kind of obliged to reveal.

00:00:22.155 --> 00:00:23.022
[ Light laughter ]

00:00:23.022 --> 00:00:29.362
Um, late 1980's in a moment
of youthful indiscretion.

JULY 2009 OXFORD ENGLAND
RECORDED AT TEDGLOBAL

00:00:30.363 --> 00:00:31.531

00:00:32.365 --> 00:00:33.366

HUMOR

STEVE JOBS: I am honored
to be with you today for

00:00:37.137 --> 00:00:39.439
your commencement from one of
the finest universities in

00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:40.440
the world.

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:43.710
[ Cheers ]

00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:46.546
Truth be told.

00:00:46.546 --> 00:00:51.284
I never graduated from college
and this is the closest

00:00:51.284 --> 00:00:53.219
I have ever gotten to
a college graduation.

00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:54.053

March 18, 2008
Philadelphia, PA

00:00:55.889 --> 00:00:59.559
OBAMA: We the People, in
order to form a more perfect

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:06.699
union, 221 years ago in a hall
that still stands across

00:01:06.699 --> 00:01:09.602
the street a group of men
gathered and with

00:01:09.602 --> 00:01:11.971
these simple words
launched America's

00:01:11.971 --> 00:01:15.975
improbable experiment
in democracy.

00:01:15.975 --> 00:01:20.346
Farmers and scholars, statesman
and patriots, who had traveled

00:01:20.346 --> 00:01:22.348
across the ocean
to escape tyranny in...

[ Applause ]

00:01:24.584 --> 00:01:27.253
SPEAKER: I cannot,
I cannot thank you guys for

00:01:27.253 --> 00:01:28.688
the opportunity.

00:01:28.688 --> 00:01:30.623
Let me tell you something.

00:01:30.623 --> 00:01:35.595
If tomorrow was not promised,
what would you give for today?

00:01:35.595 --> 00:01:40.200
Forget everything else, forget
everything else, forget that

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.969
there was any sunlight left.

00:01:42.969 --> 00:01:45.705
What would you spend today?

00:01:45.705 --> 00:01:51.044
Thinking about, yourself or
the man that is beside you?

00:01:51.044 --> 00:01:51.711
RHETORICAL QUESTION

00:01:51.711 --> 00:01:55.849
OBAMA: When I spoke here
last winter this nation was

00:01:55.849 --> 00:02:00.653
facing the worst economic crisis
since the Great Depression.

00:02:00.653 --> 00:02:06.493
We were losing an average of
700,000 jobs per month,

00:02:06.493 --> 00:02:09.795
credit was frozen, and
our financial system was on

00:02:09.795 --> 00:02:12.765
the verge of collapse.

00:02:12.765 --> 00:02:16.236
As any American who is still
looking for work or a way to pay

00:02:16.236 --> 00:02:19.072
their bills will tell you,
we are by no means

00:02:19.072 --> 00:02:21.174
out of the woods.

00:02:21.174 --> 00:02:27.680
A full and vibrant recovery is
still many months away, and

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.684
I will not let up until those
Americans who seek jobs

00:02:31.684 --> 00:02:33.019
can find them.

00:02:33.019 --> 00:02:36.122
Striking Statement
Thank you all for listening!
