If your kids won’t listen when you tell them these things, maybe they’ll listen when they hear it from him.

This speech that Ashton Kutcher gave at the Teen Choice Awards recently is so good. Key points:

1. Opportunities look a lot like hard work.
2. Being smart, thoughtful and generous is sexy. Everything else is crap.
3. Everything in the world as we know it was built by people no smarter than you. Build a life, don’t live one.

You go, Chris!
