Does any one else feel like these speeches should be given to students BEFORE they spend four years earning a degree in a field that never really interested them?
-
Imagine if Jim Carrey was your teacher. I'd never miss a class.
-
"You can fail at what you don't want. You might as well take a chance on doing what you love." Damn, that one hit. That one hit hard.
-
Of all the quotes people pull out, almost no one pulls out: "Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and faith leaps over it."
-
"You might fail at something you don't like so you might as well take a chance at doing what you love" wow Jim just made one of the most inspirational quotes ever.
-
"The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." Jim Carrey. Simple inspiring.
-
No notes to refer to, no break whatsoever.. continuous flow of energy and a marvelous story telling.. that you wouldn't want him to stop!! What an experience that was!!!

I saw this speech just before I was about to not apply for a space tech high school. I wanted to go there but was terrified of leaving my parents, friends and home town and moving about 1000 miles away from home. Not to mention that I was certain I was going to be the dumbest pupil at that school if I did get in. Then I heard this speech and realised that at least I had to try, so I applied. Now about 6 years later I think that's the best decision I've made so far in my life, and I would have missed it all if it wasn't for what Jim Carrey says in this video. Incredibly thankful i heard this!

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world." Insane. Thank you, Jim.
-
Thank god people like him exist.
-
I wonder if he knows just how poignant the line at 19:47 is; for people like me, with a disability .. "my soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul" I'm going to try and remember that every day, from now on 💛

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" -- This still hits me till this day, even after watching this speech for like 10 times whenever I feel low or off track. I used to think that acceptance is all you need when I was a child, probably upto college. I found this video around my 2nd year, and it changed me in such ways I can't explain. This is to the guy, whom I have never met and only watched in screens, thank you Jim! He inspires youth to be conscious, which is rare from an actor of his scale.
-
One of the best speeches ever, thanks!
-
Jim Carrey is a wonderful human being. Years ago my friend was dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's) disease. Somebody wrote a message about it to Jim. He responded with an autographed picture that said 'Spank you very much.' He was buried holding it.
-
This speech will go in history as one of the greatest motivational speech of all times. Till, mankind lives on this planet, this speech shall remain immortal. Very powerful, deeply resonated!
-
Rarely see this side of Jim and I am so much more proud of him now❤️
-
That ladies and gentlemen is what an enlightened person looks like. wow he can't even contain the joy, I love this.
-
The only way I can thank this guy is...by actually following what he said...

Some interesting metaphors / similes & personal quotes, 3:41 "life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you." 7:24 "there's a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that is going to eat you." 8:09 "beware the unloved because they will eventually hurt themselves" 11:41 "you can fail at what you don't want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love." 13:51 "the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." 19:49 "My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul." 22:00 "How tricky is this (our) ego that it would tempt us with the promised of something we already possess." 24:08 "When I say, life doesn't happen to you, or happens for you, I really don't know if that's true.I am just making a conscious choice to perceive challenges as something beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way."

I'm convinced that Jim Carrey is an angel in disguise sent by God. He's such a beautiful soul! 💖✨
