debunking YOLO;

From the Wellesley High School Commencement Speech;

"Let me point out the illogic of that statement as you can and should live not merely once but everyday of your life. Rather than "You Only Live Once" it should be "You Live Only Once". But because YLOO doesn't have the same ring you shrug and decide it doesn't matter. None of the day seizing - this YLOO should be interpreted for self indulgence. Like accolades ought to be a fulfilled life as a consequence, gratifying byproduct, it's what happens when you're thinking about more important things in life."
