{Learn from Maria Shriver - having the courage to press the PAUSE button}


  • For her 2012 Commencement speech to the USC (University of Southern California) Annenberg School of Communications, Maria Shriver used a GREAT SUBJECT! 
  • "Have the courage to press the PAUSE button!" Her message was a strong one and it is worthwhile to listen to her video tape. Also excerpts from the text, from Maria Shriver's address, can be read below video on the actual YouTube.
  • This is the Pause or Break button from my keyboard...
  • Maria Shriver delivering her power speech in video below:

  6. Liebe Mariette,
    eine wahrhaft große Rede. Pausen sind in unserem Leben
    sehr wichtig. Wir brauchen Pausen, um wieder zu uns selbst zu
    finden. Und sie weist uns darauf hin, was wir alles verloren
    haben in dieser verkabelten Welt.
    Einen schönen Abend wünscht
    Irmi
