I feel it takes hard work and time to truly becoming successful. Perhaps we do agree on that. Maybe we just interpreted the speech in different ways. I didn't interpret much negativity or uninspiring moments.

It wasn't negative, but I felt confused and pessimistic after watching this video. Perhaps it could be cause I had pre-conceived notions on what this should be, and I did read comments in this thread first, but I did not feel as though this was a good graduation speech at all. In another occasion, probably.
Yasa - hm I got that towards the last portion... perhaps it was cause I was still fretting over some of the first half of the speech. Who knows. JMO anyways, I'm probably wrong since some think this is a great speech.
