   Hi Eugene,
   Just saw the commencement speech video and loved your funny, relaxed delivery. You have wisdom there! I think you probably inspired those kids to find what they enjoy and do it for 10 years. At least it should reduce their anxiety.
   Following you on twitter now. No pressure. *wink

   Eugene, when you said “a backup plan is the first step toward failure,” I was 80% sure you were quoting either Ben Franklin or Napoleon Bonaparte. But you weren’t! Were you? Google said no.
