Go for the long memo, stay for the sprezzatura.
This would make for an excellent college commencement address.

Holy fucking shit–there is a tremendous amount of accumulated life wisdom in this piece. E-mailed it to myself so I could re-read it, as well as follow up on his myriad links when I have more time (Susie Cagle’s story was the one link I read. Ouch. Makes me appreciate the ducats I derive from lawyering that much more: https://medium.com/p/110ee3276edf)
Actually, I think it would make a great address to a 5th or 10th-year college reunion group. Post-college life in the working world has to have a chance to kick your ass a bit before you’re open to these lessons.
