We may have many honors in life but at times, the greatest honor we can have is to give a speech. Aside from the fact that many people have a problem with standing in front of others and with public speaking, there are sometimes opportunities that are just too good to ignore.
This is often seen in graduation speeches at colleges and universities. Guest speakers are invited to come in and sometimes, they may wait an entire lifetime in order to stand in front of the graduates and give their speech.
Michael Keaton is somebody who had this opportunity in 2018. He gave a graduation speech at Kent State University, and it had everything that was necessary to be a good public talk.
When you watch the speech, keep in mind that it lasts about 18 minutes but the final two words are what most people tend to recognize and remember. You have the opportunity to watch the entire speech below, however, and it is well worth hanging with every word.
In his graduation speech, he spoke about why he failed to graduate from college. He wanted to pursue his acting career so he dropped out of Kent State University and he was successful.
He also spoke about the need to be true to yourself and live up to your potential. There is a lot of life advice that is well worth considering, but those final two words say it all.
