Ashton Kutcher hits a home
run
Now, I must admit, I am not an Ashton Kutcher fan. I didn’t watch “That 70’s Show”. I don’t particularly care for his run on “Two
and a half Men”. But, with that said, I
hope you caught some of the information about his speech at the Teen Choice
Awards because his speech has gone viral.
If you missed it, here is a link to the You Tube posting; http://youtu.be/FNXwKGZHmDc
Just a word of caution, you will have to get over the screaming of young females throughout the speech. I had to listen to it twice to get past all the screams.

Why is this speech so memorable? Because it’s not your typical
Entertainer/Actor babble about what is wrong with our society or some special
interest. It is spoken from the heart
about value and responsibilities.
Here are some of the highlights;
“I believe that opportunity looks a lot like work,”
“I never had a job
in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. Every
job I had was a stepping stone to my next job and I never quit my job before I
had my next job.”
“The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really
smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap,”
“I promise you. It’s
just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t
buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.”
“Steve Jobs said when you grow up you tend to get told that
world is the way that it is.” Kutcher said that’s not the way to go through
life.
“Everything around us that we call life was made up of
people that are no smarter than you,”
“And you can build
your own things and you can build your own life that other people can live in.
So build a life, don’t live one, find your opportunities and always be sexy.”
Yes, I’m now a fan, a BIG FAN.
