Tim Minchin (Thanks Simon) - Click here His advice to graduates on how "to be" is funny, inspiring, beautiful and real. To sum it up very very simply, he says: 1. You don't have to have a dream. 2. Don't seek happiness. 3. Remember, it's all luck. 4. Exercise. 5. Be hard on your opinions. 6. Be a teacher. 7. Define yourself by what you love. 8. Respect people with less power than you. 9.

One day, I decided to remove Facebook. My phone started to misbehave. I decided to remove it because I do not like the idea that they can log what I am browsing online through my device  (read carefully details when updating the app on your phone, you will be surprised).
