Georgia Tech Freshman Convocation - Epic Sophomore Welcome Speech - Full Version

[@elhigh]

What rocks: being the guy that conceives of and delivers a speech like this. What sucks: being the poor bastard that has to speak after him.

Yes. He has filed for patent. After that it will be available for sale on Amazon, Walmart. It has female version too.

[@elhigh]

As entertaining a speech as this is, I strongly recommend everyone watch it for style points. Forget the speech, observe Nick's skills and instincts as a speaker. His face is open, his delivery is measured and very confident. This is one of the best non-political public speakers I have ever seen.

[@fizzed87]

[@Rose052003]

Congratulations to him! He graduated this year. Hope he's doing well. As a mechanical engineering student, I love his speech.

[@hal9000xxl]

Oh boy I think he is on the road for a huge disappointment. As a mechanical engineer to another I hate to tell him that we do not build Iron Man suits and most of us don't work on fancy projects just solve everyday problems huh...

[@deerslayer625]

This guy is the living definition of "like a boss"

[@ZedlocProductions]

[@karenfreund8292]

What strikes me is his professionalism. His delivery was perfect! Each of his points was clearly articulated, he had well-timed pauses, and even the section of his speech with the music was so well-memorized that he hit the script at the proper times to create impact with the music's highlights, building the audience's confidence in his testimonial. Excellent example of "it's not what you say, but how you say it."

[@VuLuka7]

thats how speaches should be, nothing like all congratulations and do your best shit... listen to that man! though probably 90% of us wont follow his advices...

[@JULIETTEsays]

gosh... I'd hate to be the person to follow that

[@skp2myLoo]

I was that person. Wanting to do the impossible. I got in one of the best polymer engineering schools and was heading to my dream. What I missed is that I was running myself through a factory and running hard as I could. Until, my health deteriorated and I almost died. I didn't realize I had soo many underlying medical difficulties and syndromes. I now have taken a step back and realized I forgot my passion. How can I achieve my dreams if I'm dead? Stop, learn, enjoy your new experience, and NEVER rush yourself.....because you will not learn and be inspired because you will be in the ER most of the time. I will change the world, but when my time comes. I will do the impossible when it is my time and I will live to see it. That is my knowledge to all freshman. Don't pile over max hours taking classes during breakfast lunch and summer just because you want a phd at 25. I realized I have taken myself outside of this world so much for a good resume that I almost died. Knowledge is not just sitting in class, but experiences. I might not become world famous but I will have made a difference. To The Top.

[@Dynamic_78]

Quite the inspiring speech indeed. I am currently enrolled in high school, and shortly after I watched this video about two months ago, I decided that I wanted to be a structural engineer. After all, I've always had a knack for designing and building things. Anyway, I've been madly searching for a school to look forward to attending for such an occupation. I've always wanted to be in a public university, for personal reasons. I've looked at several schools that either had a good architecture or civil engineering program; it's come down to five. But guess who's at the top of the list? None other than the Georgia Institute of Technology. Nick Selby, props to you for making such an inspiring speech. When people say it takes guts to say what you said, they are nowhere short of 100% correct. Your speech not only inspired the ones sitting in the audience on the day of your speech, but for many future engineers. I'm setting my sights on Atlanta, and I cannot wait to be a Ramblin' Wreck.
