It’s fun Friday at Brown is the New Pink! Check out the pictures and links below if you need to smile or laugh.
To kick things off, I want to share an excerpt from John Legend’s graduation speech at the University of Pennsylvania’s commencement ceremony:
Professor Cornel West gives us a word for what this kind of love looks like in public. That word is justice. If you’re committed to loving in public, it requires you opening your eyes to injustice, to see the world through the eyes of another. This is not a passive activity. You have to read. You have to travel to other neighborhoods, other parts of the world. You may have to get your hands dirty. You have to allow people to love you, and you have to love them back
If you have time, the full speech is definitely worth reading.
Have you ever struggled with making an important decision in your love life? Perhaps you can relate to the kiddo in the video below. He is adorable. 🙂
Here’s another cool story from Humans of New York. It shows that just 15 seconds of courage can change your life.
“We’ve been married 31 years.”
“How’d you meet?”
“I saw her on a bus, put my watch in my pocket, sat down next to her, and asked her for the time.”
Finally, Jimmy Fallon– er, I mean Gary Frick’s advertisement for dog treats was cute and funny. What a sweet dog!
Have a great weekend!
