Canadian filmmaker Sean Menard recently uncovered nearly 100 reels of film chronicling Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope in 1980. This previously unseen footage is coming out later this year in a documentary titled “Run Terry Run”. It looks incredible.

All of this! "Take your work seriously, but yourself less so. Hard work often looks suspiciously like play."
Recently I’ve gotten a lot of inbound from new grads asking for career advice, so I wrote down a list of things I wish I’d internalized sooner. The key thing: being precocious has an expiration date. Threading the note in its entirety:
