The news is a public service. It's a way to inform people of what's going on in their world. And when you make it about ratings and make it about ad dollars, there's no incentive to inform people.

What I want to tell you today is not to move into that world where you're alone with yourself and your mantra and your fitness program or whatever it is that you might use to try to control the world by closing it out. I want to tell you just to live in the mess. Throw yourself out into the convulsions of the world.

Take chances, make your own work, take pride in it. Seize the moment.

Make that extra effort for every relationship. Whether it's with your parents, your children, your husband or your friends. It makes a difference to them.
