Three years before his death, author David Foster Wallace gave a commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. In that speech, titled "This is Water," Wallace explained to the bright-eyed grads what real adult lives are like, and in the process, gave them an invaluable advice on life and a simple yet elegant explanation of the real value of education.
YouTube user The Glossary showcased Wallace's speech in the most interesting 10 minute video clip you'll see today: Link

The fact that his audience keeps laughing shows that they think he's joking. They'll learn. Great video.
