No idol, just a human who persevered, had the confidence even through his failures and trials might have made him think twice about himself ❤

Mark Rober is awesome. Thanks Mark's mom for raising someone able to use his knowledge to make the world a better place 🙏

AMAZING, Mark! Congrats to you and the grads!!

It’s so nice to see Mark getting the recognition he deserves!

[@DrShauryaGarg]

You had my full attention for entirety of this video. As a genZ kid who has been raised in an era of short-form-content this should be enough to tell you how great your speech was for MIT 2023.

This was a fantastic speech, it really resonated with me and I gotta say it did may me teary eyed

I love attending graduations! Would have loved to witness this one at MITs. Congratulations to all the graduates.

[@natebrawl]

It’s funny how this graduation speech is 10x more entertaining than my graduation speech at my school.

Im officially starting college in about two months. You've been the main reason I'm going into mechanical engineering. I'm going to The Ohio State University, and its been a dream of mine for years now. This speech has made the fear of college more manageable. Thank you for always being an inspiration

My Condolences for you attending such a bottom feeder school.....

[@MeesterFishy]

Congrats dude! Learn from me, Professor Leonard on KZbin is incredible for learning calculus, Jeff Hanson is incredible for Statics courses, and Libgen for textbooks. Get involved in clubs, internships and extracurriculars because they are more valuable than grades for work opportunities, and don't give up! This degree is more a matter of persistence and discipline than sheer intelligence.

[@audreycarlisle5205]

This is great advise for anyone really not just people from MIT!

[@banditosrister22]

As someone who graduated 2 years ago... I think this is the best advise I've ever heard and from the prospective of my early career I completely agree.

[@BigBadWorf]

Well done, Mark. Having worked at a major University for almost 30 years I've been to hundreds of graduations. This is one of the best I've ever heard.

[@hollosteph]

This was epic. And your mother’s influence may have started as ripples but has developed in to tidal waves. This brought back so many memories of my university graduation with a not so spirit boosting speech. My husband and I love your channel and now my daughter loves it thanks to the Adley colab.

[@johnnytruckingoutdoors]

Such a awesome speech!!!

BEST COMMENCEMENT SPEECH IVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! Definitely resonant!!
