Outside your money hours or during a well-earned break…
The opening segment from Dead Poet’s Society (1989) where Mr. Keating introduces himself (and the importance of living in the present and being valuable) to his students (5 minutes). In a rush? Start at 1:10.
If you’ve not seen the whole thing, it’s worth your time.
Carpe diem comes from the Roman poet Horace’s Ode XI.

This movie, and this scene in particular, inspired me in 1989 to leave Wall Street to teach economics and history to boarding school students.

Carpe Diem magnifies wiith unity only..never forget! No unity, no extraordinary but only chaos of inevitable dust..
Great movie, one of my favorites of all time!
