"Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes."

———————-
When I went to intern for the Colbert Report I had the tiniest concern that Stephen might have some negative “talent” traits. I’ve worked in a lot of places and ruined the magic for many things for myself so it was a small concern.
Instead Stephen and the staff and crew of the Report renewed a sense of wonder in me. The work they put in, how much they care, and how sincere they all are. But I’ll always remember, after having asked him about didactic-ism and receiving a response involving quotes from Joyce that the next week he came to me and went “So I was thinking about didactic-ism over the weekend…”
Bitterness and cynicism are easy to fall into, I remind myself of that daily and try to keep that small flame in my heart alive. I owe it to everyone else and I have people like Stephen to thank for that.
