If you’re in a creative field, give this speech by Neil Gaiman a listen

I don’t care what you do — this commencement address by Neil Gaiman, given yesterday at the University of Arts in Philadelphia, is well worth hearing. First off, the man can really write a speech. But secondly, it’s measured and good-humored advice from someone who started off like every other one of us.

(Neil Gaiman, in case you’re unfamiliar with the man, is one of two or three “Great Modern Creatives with Whom I Disagree Philosophically But for Whose Talent and Abilities I Have Nothing But the Highest Respect.” I call them the GMCWIDPBWTAIHNBHR, and they are a rarefied crowd.)
