Larry Lucchino, then President and CEO of the Boston Red Sox and a two-time cancer survivor, delivered the commencement address at Boston University in 2008. His speech took the form of a personal 'Top Ten List' of life lessons learned through decades as a baseball executive. The climactic lesson — Number One — was about generosity. He quoted a Chinese proverb: 'If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. But if you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.' For Lucchino, whose own priorities had been shaped by surviving cancer twice, the message was deeply personal: find a cause you care about, involve yourself, and start early in life.
