Conan O’Brien just finished his last episode of The Tonight Show. I have not been a long-time fan or follower of O’Brien, but the recent controversy surrounding NBC’s decision to shake up the late night line up had me tuning into his show regularly for the past couple of weeks.  I grew to enjoy his show and comedic delivery and felt the final episode tonight was the best one since I started watching.

The title of this post “If you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.” is one of the final things Conan O’Brien said at the end of his final Tonight Show episode and really struck a chord with me. During the episode, O’Brien had Tom Hanks on the show and they reminisced about the old days when he was a young red head kid trying to impress an accomplished actor with his raw comedic talent. O’Brien expressed his hatred of cynicism and encouraged the young viewers to be kind and work hard to get what they want in life.

I’m feeling extremely motivated and inspired by his words tonight and will be keenly following his career and working really hard on my own future, and being kind along the way.
