"This is Water", a commencement speech by David Foster Wallace. Whenever I'm overwhelmed with life, stressed about work or relationships or whatever, I read this. I keep it in the kindle app on my phone specifically for that purpose. https://www.docdroid.net/n9UgjO3/this-is-water.pdf

This speech made a very strong impact on me as well.

I find listening to the speech even more chilling: https://youtu.be/8CrOL-ydFMI
