Something pretty brilliant happened today

Just a little while ago, I came back to my flat after having seen Aung San Suu Kyi receive her honorary DPhil from the University of Oxford. I think it's safe to say that my life has been made. I don't want to relay the sentiments, hopes and requests she expressed in her address to her audience, because I know I wouldn't be able to do them justice. What I do want to say, however, is that it really is a wonderful thing to be faced with someone who is willing to sacrifice so much of themselves to help a cause  far bigger than any of us. 

If you've got some free time, give her speech a listen. I can tell you now that you will find it a worthwhile and humbling experience.
