Marty's Minute

I was watching a movie recently called The Renaissance Man. In the movie, Danny DeVito gets a gig teaching English at an army base. His character is tasked with teaching a group of underachieving students from poor backgrounds who seem apathetic about their education. He becomes frustrated but finally turns the class around when he begins discussing Hamlet. The students learn a valuable lesson on achievement surrounding the phrase, “To thine own self be true,” and it made me think about what this means for us.
