Rainn Wilson, co-star of the hit American TV show THE OFFICE (based on the original U.K. version), and one of my favorite recent films, THE LAST MIMZY, gives an inspiring talk to Baha'i Youth at the NEBY 2008 conference (Feb. 15-18, 2008).

You can view the video of his humorous and inspiring talk here: http://www.neby.org/video/

The inspiring quotes, should you want to take his advice to gather and save good quotes are below for your convenience:

"The Blessed Beauty often remarked: 'These are four qualities which I love to see manifested in people: First, enthusiasm and courage.  Second, a face wreathed in smiles and a radiant countenance. Third, that they see all things with their own eyes and not through the eyes of others, Fourth, the ability to carry a task, once begun, through to it's end."  --Memories of Bahá'u'lláh, compiled by Mr. Furutan
"Where there is love, nothing is too much trouble and there is always time." --'Abdu'l-Bahá
"The first teaching of Bahá'u'lláh is the duty incumbent upon all to investigate reality. What does it mean to investigate reality? It means that man must forget all hearsay and examine truth himself,..." --'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 62)
"The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and to serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one of the great spiritual laws of life." (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 18, 1954) --Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 114
"I rejoice to hear that thou takest pains with thine art, for in this wonderful new age, art is worship. The more thou strivest to perfect it, the closer wilt thou come to God. What bestowal could be greater than this, that one's art should be even as the act of worshipping the Lord? That is to say, when thy fingers grasp the paintbrush, it is as if thou wert at prayer in the Temple." --'Abdu'l-Bahá, # 12, The Importance of the Arts in Promoting the Faith
"Observe My commandments, for the love of My beauty." --Bahá'u'lláh, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 20)
"Think not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of laws. Nay, rather, We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power." --Bahá'u'lláh, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 20)
"The great thing is to 'Live the Life' -- to have our lives so saturated with the Divine teaching and the Bahá'í Spirit that people cannot fail to see a joy, a power, a love, a purity, a radiance, an efficiency in our character and work that will distinguish us from worldly-minded people and make people wonder what is the secret of this new life in us. We must become entirely selfless and devoted to God so that every day and every moment we seek to do only what God would have us do and in the way He would have us do it. If we do this sincerely then we shall have perfect unity & harmony with each other. ..." (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, February 2, 1925) --Lights of Guidance, p. 111
