After reading both articles, I came to an conclusion that both authors were trying to give out kinda the same message out to the people that's listening. The world we live in gives off a way how to live sometimes, how to do things in a way and what not. David Wallace intends to say that no mater what the outcome that is being processed in your head of all the bad feelings and what not, that just to remind you that "its just water,its just water". Also one the ways you can compare these two is that Morison said this story about a blind women when he won the Nobel Prize, it was a great speech that hopefully inspires the  future of our generation.In the speech one part that gets me is when it states the kids holding the bird. It is basically impelling that we control our own language and what to say with it. That we hold to the key to the future. Wallace is just trying to get a message out saying that if we living like HOW WE ARE SUPPOSE to live; then we are not really living. He is basically saying that to live life with no regret. Sometimes you have to break the rules to get stuff you want to achieve in your life.
