2018 Drexel Commencement - M Night Shyamalan Speech

[@charmainemcfarlane7815]

I was there for my daughter's graduation, and it was truly an inspiring speech

[@rafaeljimenez8022]

Charmaine McFarlane sure he's a writer! What a speech!

[@lafayette2957]

I felt his pain during this speech. This man deserves the highest respect. He is a risk-taker and is not afraid to lose. He is a genius

@@rpaul4197 Ok yes I agree that movie wasn't great at all. However, it had good directing. And I respect him for being resilient with his stories following The Last Airbender and showing the world that his stories could work. After failure after failure, he finally struck gold with The Visit, Split, and Glass

@@rpaul4197 Yes, I did watch the original cartoon for a short while and I quite enjoyed it. You made some great points which I agree with now

He's so inspiring. Beautiful speech said in a relatable words and experience.

I've watched this 2 times. Definitely a great use of 1hr of my life. So powerful!

holy moly that's a speech

@Lord Shyamalan Shit, you really him !

[@humanSpirit84]

This man is a gift to humanity.

[@lorimarchetti4425]

I could watch this again and again. I decided to send this to all the young folks in my family.

[@Okulele-d4t]

Empowering speech. His core value and beliefs seen throughout his movies is palpable in this one too. Love this guy.

[@edwingoh4094]

I'm really glad i found this speech at this moment of time in my life. Not just motivating but powerful enough to plant a seed of revival and resilience in me to do better after going through a failure. The universe is fundamentally good and is always on your side, and for as long as you surrender the things that are out of your control and work on the things you can, you will see great things happen in your life. Thank you M. Night Shyamalan. I'm sure Glass will do well.

[@Thedudeyea]

The best graduation speech in a long time for a long time, this man may fail a lot of times but he has vision and he will make great movies again!

[@bealivingmiracle]

Inspiring. Epictetus was a Stoic who wrote The Handbook, which Shyamalan attributes to his success. Epictetus' philosophy is based on a Universe that is fundamentally benevolent and good. Shyamalan emphasizes to control what you have power over, especially your thoughts. Create your art with all your energy, effort, and focus. Don't worry about how what you create will be received by others. Your positive efforts will be rewarded. The rise, fall, and rise again of Shyamalan is a great story of perseverance, self-motivation, and commitment to creating your own art.

[@sharmilaprasad6947]

A profound speech....has unravelled the mysteries of the Universe......strange coincidences happen all the time in our lives which are often not acknowledged .If your intent and purpose are clearly defined, the universe will be benevolent and help you achieve that. Well done Manoj .Stay rooted always

This man is amazing. I love this speech. After this speech I feel like I can do anything.

[@Pyro-Moloch]

I teared up

[@PolarisCastillo]

Me too!!

[@jayaychyremo2332]

I thought his carrier was over, then he came with the movie " the visit" its a low budget movie watching the trailer it blown me away.and made millions worldwide. And then he made split which also a low budget movie and made millions worldwide. It really surprised me.thats what a true filmmaker looks like.he just grabs the attention with his trailer and brings the audience to his films. That's really inspiring.

[@PolarisCastillo]

And he never gives up. Ever. Even when in doubt. That's why i fucking love him.

[@llamasarus1]

He's not one of the greatest directors of all time (not terrible either), but he has the most fascinating career arc ever, that's for sure.

[@weho_brian]

plot twist at the end, he takes off his mask and is revealed to be the alien from Signs

[@IIGoofyII]

Just as great as his movies!

[@edrewnaelewis8907]

Awesome‼️ Powerful ‼️

[@sanitycheck8607]

Basic crux of his talk is simply a famous quote in the bhagwad geeta, Do your duty faithfully without thinking of the outcome.
