"First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." --Epictetus
The Story of a Passionate Life
In a recent TED talk, Ben Dunlap beautifully tells the story of Sandor Teszler, a Hungarian man he met at Wofford College. In telling Teszler's dramatic life story, which arcs from the Holocaust to the American Deep South of the 1950s, Dunlap shares some deep and, ultimately, moving lessons about justice -- and the power of lifelong learning. Ben Dunlap is a true polymath, whose talents span poetry, opera, ballet, literature and administration and is currently the president of South Carolina’s Wofford College. This moving, 20-minute video masterfully presents the story of a passionate life.
