Conan O’Brien said something very profound on his last night hosting the Tonight Show. Working at NBC for almost 20 years, he had an iron clad agreement with the company to be the successor once Jay Leno would step aside from the show. After hosting the show for only seven months, Conan was forced to abandon the Tonight Show, a dream he had held his entire life.
"Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
In his closing remarks he said: “To all the people watching, I can never thank you enough for your kindness to me and I'll think about it for the rest of my life. All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism – it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
So no matter how bad it gets, please don’t ever give into cynicism, negativity, and doubt. We may feel beaten down by life and by our circumstances. We may feel like we can’t go on for one moment longer, but we owe it to ourselves to bounce back and give it another chance.
