Actor Matthew McConaughey is such a captivating storyteller that he can make platitudes sound profound.

For example, instead of simply saying, "Do the right thing today so you don't suffer in the future," he says:

"You didn’t pay that guy back the money that you owed him and tonight you just saw him three rows behind you. Shit. You slept around on your spouse and you just found out that tomorrow she and the lady you’re having an affair with are going to be at the same PTA meeting. Shit again. These are the crumbs. They come in the form of regret, guilt and remorse. You leave crumbs today, they will cause you more stress tomorrow. And they disallow you from creating a customized future in which you do not have to look over your shoulder."
