Ross is one of my favourite php conference speakers, and I think this talk gives a bit of insight into why he's so capable. Ross advises that we might well benefit from seeking advice, seeking to understand and apply that advice, and seek to advise to others; to consider what those around us have to offer and what they might benefit from. A great philosophy for lifelong learning as part of a technical community. This talk was delivered engagingly with Ross's signature wit and tone. A great start to a great conference.
I did expect the welcoming talk at a PHP conference to at least contain something about PHP, but this talk could have been given at any tech conference.
However, aside from that, it was a pretty good talk. He is obviously a good speaker, and got people thinking about giving/receiving advice throughout the rest of the conference.

Fantastic keynote. Inspiring both in content and presentation style. Impressive!
Really enjoyed this. A great topic to start off a conference. With an open mind.
What's with the fedora? Are you Indiana Jones in real life?
Great keynote. :)
Great talk, really enjoyed it and can definitely relate to pretty much everything in the talk (being old etc)
Very good opening keynote in terms of content and tone. Not too fast either!
This was great and I really enjoyed it - good delivery and even better message.
It was a really good keynote, I wish I had something constructive to give but I don't. Good job Ross! :-)
