"The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is." Jim Carrey. Simple inspiring.

[@Destruct820]

Hello Chia Wildy. To that quote, I want to correct it a little with the following: The positive effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. The least valuable currency there is is therefore the negative effect you have on others.

[@monmaxwitnaojulgri6032]

@@Destruct820 I think Jim was right and tried to be unbiased because positive or negative effects sometimes depend on which sides you're on or which perspective you have. Whatever feels positive for me may not also be positive for you and vice versa.

Total bull

[@bluelotus9245]

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!

[@assmilkanalog]

"Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world." Insane. Thank you, Jim.

[@gracelondonian]

this is so true! since I decided to stand up, speak up, demand respect and be heard at work, trying to follow my dream and stopping bullying at same time I noticed a lot of enemies and opposition than when I just was trying to be accepted by others and get on pleasing everyone but me . I was invisible,yes. I am more visible now. I am still standing alone tho. I rather pick myself up believing there is an end to this than let them trying to keep me in the box they want.

[@M0RGue0Nslaught]

Everyone can be a person like him. You just have to let go of the fear. The fear of people's opinions, the fear of failure before even trying and the fear of never being enough. You are you and that's everything you need. Ever thought you would never get a work done but kept saying 'keep cool, it not impossible' and got it done? That's how easy your thoughts can effect your view on every situation in life, how difficult it may seem. It's so easy like it is not. We all fear leaving old habits behind because of the unknown, but if we stopped trying to walk over and over again as a child, we would still be there sitting on the floor, being angry at every walking person passing. Today it is difficult to seperate faith from religion but it's worth the try :) Edit: In the end it's not important to be like him or like anyone. Just be you ;)

"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.

[@emmajames5672]

I can’t see what the acceptance speech is for

[@gbobble]

@@emmajames5672 it looks like he was given an honorary degree from an Indian university. Honorary degrees are awarded to famous people, so the university can list them as alumnae (graduates.) The famous person is not required to have attended the lectures, because he/she is further ahead in the field of the degree than actual graduates and likely too famous to mix with the masses on a course plus no time as they work. The famous person is contacted towards the end of the course to see if they will « accept » the degree. So this is Jim C’s acceptance speech.

Yes, take a look at TM (dot) org . TM is easy to learn and practice. Can't be learned online or from a book--have to learn from a certified teacher at a TM Center. There is a course fee, but it is anon-profit organization and they try to make it available for all regardless of income. There are hundreds of scientific studies showing dramatic benefits. Also, take a look at David Lynch Foundation website. They are doing fabulous work teaching TM to kids in at-risk situations, Vets with PTSD, abused women and children, people with addictions, etc.

Me too, shame he got deceived by the Maharishi who is one of the most obvious fake Gurus on Planet and is a multi billion dollar marketing institution that has no other goal than to con money out of people using truth to deceive, just like Mephistopheles deceived Faust, and Lucifer always deceives with Truth, as Lucifer Morning Star never lies.. But Maharishi does. He is a Mara Demon, much like Thailand's Luang Phor Dhammajayo of the Dhammakaya money laundering Buddhist Cult. The Buddha spent 6 years practicing under a Rishi (maha Rishi means great Rishi/Ascetic hermit). In the end he left, because he saw they could not lead further than deep meditative states, but could not teach the path to the cessation of suffering and lasting bliss. Buddha found it. No Rishi ever did. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is not ascetic. Nor is he a Yogi. he is an orator and a deceiver, and a clever Indian man who devised a plan to take advantage of the gullible hippies who first started arriving in India with wide gaping eyes and easily impressed, to start his now massive and scary billionaire cult

Michael Muryn Comedians in general, I think, are smart. But I don't mean to make a comparison between comedic and dramatic actors. I think they each have their strengths and weaknesses. I do prefer, however, listening to the words of comedians because they strike me as people who always see the world in a different light. I can almost put them in the same league as the poets and philosophers. George Carlin, Louis C.K., and Woody Allen are some of the best examples that come to mind. Their thoughts are deep but they express it so cleverly that you're gonna laugh until the ideas behind them make you think, or sometimes, it's the other way around.

I've watched literally 10,000's of videos & docs on the subject of spirit and if there was just one I was allowed to share with others to help them on their journey, it would be this one.

[@fredericobarreto9364]

+Matt Pruitt I'ts because Jim walked the path of a common man with steps of wisdom.

“So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.” I've spent most of my working years that way. If you're younger than 31, take it from me and don't let fear guide your career path. If you're older than 31, it's not too late. Stop letting fear guide your career path. If you are 31, pick one and go with it.

[@sarahmayjohn]

Dude, I'm 31. What the heck?

[@Nedlop1]

I'm 31i I was ment to see this message.

[@nooneinparticular8383]

But i dont have much choice

[@valeriew8153]

I'm also 31. I currently have an excellent high paying professional job that I love. I got to it through a huge leap of faith and by working hard in the same industry+grad school. I'm currently engaged in another leap of faith that's important to me, and it too is going well. I know many younger people don't fully grasp the potential of a positive mental attitude combined with hard work to get what you want in life. To them it sounds something like "be sure to realign your chi to hack the matrix!"... but if you truly have faith and a vision, you will get to where you want to be.

[@NiranjanRavikumar7]

@@valeriew8153 Happy for you, brother. Keep chasing it. Love the process.

[@hufflebuffben]

I really wish these speeches were given to kids entering high school. College graduates are locked in, they've completed their degrees. High school students have the time to think about it and plan accordingly.

[@robinheil]

When Jim Carrey revealed that painting, I broke down in tears. It took that for me to realize that I am not this shell, but an ineffable life force running through everything. So often I say to myself, "I am depressed", "I am lost." If only I knew how powerful these words can be, that I can fool myself into thinking that I really am these things. I have realized this stuff over and over with no real change, so much that I don't know where to begin anymore. But I'm always beginning. All I have is what I have now, and it's a lot.

[@fullthrottlealways]

Bravo buddy! Go for it!

[@Ellebangs]

Jim Carrey is one brilliant man!! Loved this!!!

[@Kaneem]

Agreed! This really shows a deeper side to this man. How fantastic for those graduates to have been in his audience.

Stop what you are doing right now and bookmark/favorite this video, as I have. I solemnly believe that you have just discovered the User's Manual for LIFE with maximum fulfilment, success, and most importantly, happiness. One of the most important videos ever posted on KZbin or anywhere else.

Every joke in this seems to have a deeper meaning when you really pay attention. Really inspiring

[@tcapixel1809]

Best quote I've ever heard in my entire life "How tricky can this ego be, by tempting us with a promise for something we already possess." Apply it to love, happiness and peace. Life is amazing, and it all begins by you, seeing it that way

[@spiritualawakening9652]

Quite true. It reminded me of the poem from Hafez, the Iranian poet: "For years and years I was looking for the magic crystall ball. Now I realize that I always had it in my heart". I love this poem and hearing the same truth from Jim Carry...wow.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

he is so kind and humble, a simple man

[@MARTINTVGOVEGANAMORYMAS]

Yeah :)

[@mr.koolkarni4357]

Those attributes are a key to being successful in life

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

yes, agree

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

I didn't mean simple as "ordinary" or "naive", but as humble, friendly, person who opens up to people and doesn't act self-complacently or superior. that's what I meant so I don't see any reason for you to correct me

[@LeeLee1985Official]

Jim clearly experiences life further than most ppl can. He sees so far outside the box that ppl call him crazy but he makes perfect sense... His speech really hits home for me. There is so much out here for us as humans to experience. To not get stuck in a rut in this life. He saying, to keep moving towards what you love. Even if it seems like its out of reach for you. Keep trying. Push forward. You can effect so many others. In an amazing way. There is so much more to life than work and bills.

[@prolificzee8771]

I graduated today with a Bachelor of Arts degree.Thank you to God 😇🙏I've been watching this video from 4 years ago and it hasn't been an easy journey, I'm thankful for never giving up but having perseverance and faith in myself.Good things do happen and everyone Is limitless.

[@YouNicIceYNI]

it was this speech from Jim that makes me take a chance to pursuit my dream..which is make money from playing video games, some might say its a cliche dream, but a dream nonetheless to me, since i enjoy video game.. why shouldn't i try to turn passion into profit.. a dream that was plant in me since boyhood and continues to haunt me till now and i think it will continue to haunt me till the day i die if i don't do something about it.. so for the first time in my life, i'm taking a chance at something.. "you could fail at what you don't want, you might as well take a chance and do what you love" right Jim?

[@abhishekchoudharykhatkar4886]

Great man. Wish you Luck :D Just don't quit. We know your niche has a hell lot of competition. So do something to Stand out. Write down 10 ideas every morning for how can you stand out. I am sure one day you will get one :)

[@synesthesia251]

One of the MOST ENLIGHTENED speeches I have ever heard. This speech can be studied at all levels... at a joke level, at those graduates level, as a spiritual seeker, and as an Enlightened being.. Pure Perfection.... i just dont get who would thumbs this down.... man oh man

[@KharizmaKreations]

+Arnold Nagy I agree I found this to be epically moving and amazing and I love the comedy side mixed in with the deep wisdom it contains. Regarding the thumbs down I don't get it but all videos have this no matter how good they are. " I cannot be contained because I am the container!" LOVE THIS :)

[@edenchambers6590]

so WOKE. He KNOWS. haha Delightful and Divine Truth

[@caroleehubbard8380]

I know this is 2 years old...but "Conservative Christians" hate Jim Carey...they call him possessed by Satan. That's who would give a thumbs down. Sad!

[@patsy5294]

The man is clearly a comic genius; but even more important, he is a genius in his consciousness as a human being, an enlightened spirit, a man with a heart for the human race and this planet that we call home. Who'd have thought that in addition to keeping us in stitches for decades, he would turn out to be such a beautiful sage at a time when we really need to be listening to him. Learn through laughter, because nothing is really all that serious here in this life we call our own. Lighten up, people. It's important to raise our vibration through any method available. Humor is one of them.

[@scottnolly3582]

Hear me out; one day when Jim will be very old he’s gonna make a film that will be so big and so acclaimed, one of the best ever. About a meaning of life where he will be the real himself

[@subtainfarooq]

'So many of us choose our paths out of fear, disguised as practicality' This hit me harder than anything i have ever heard.

[@stevenpoole7235]

Such a simple but undeniable truth for so many.

[@AvatarChrist]

This speech is so more profound than what it looks like, I really like how he transfers information. The funny and ironic thing about this not everybody understands what's he's referring to and just found the whole video "funny" when in reality he's trying to glitch your mind. Thank for sharing this!

[@whoever_81]

You are correct. Unless you have experienced what he is pointing to you cannot really get it. This speech is really phenomenal regardless of the watcher though. He is creating in you, laughter, joy, sadness, silence, awareness, space, bliss. Miraculous really.

[@Devatva]

Zen

[@MrDeltaRuler]

He gets it. He has had an ego-dealth trip or has gotten there with meditation. I would guess with meditation since he is so comfortable with the idea of it that he can discuss it like this. "A bird can never fly too high as long as it flies with its own wings"...

[@LawsonEnglish]

"He gets it. He has had an ego-dealth trip " TM is the exact opposite of "ego death." It is the only form of meditation that does NOT reduce the brain's mind-wandering "default mode network" which is where sense-of-self comes from.

[@T-W-B-Blood]

I have to admit that I was getting frustrated buy the people laughing but there were moments in this speech that I think hit home for everyone in that room. At first people were just expecting comedy and politely laughing. Once they actually started listening the whole room was inspired.

[@classicvStar7]

My nursing pinning ceremony was supposed to be today. I'm going on a spree listening to all kinds of Commencement Speeches & this by far is the best....

He currently IS the richest man in the world....he's sharing his wealth with us all.

Letting the universe know what you want while working toward it and letting go how it comes to pass This is the statement that hit me the most.

[@musaddiqali1]

I am glad that I stumbled upon this video.

[@1Scarecrow2]

[@godihatenames]

Honestly this speech made me cry because I myself realize that fear has ruled most of my life and stopped me from truly living. I'm going to be 30 and I have no job and live with my parents I feel and perceive my existence as being nothing more then trash and it because of that I developed a extreme fear against life itself. I really want to go to college and chase after my dream to try and become something I thought was impossible. I want to have faith that something bigger exist out there and that even if I have a tiny role, a role does exist for me. This speech was such an enlightenment to me personally because I really feel that if I just take that 1st step that 1 leap of faith whole new possibilities are waiting for me. I don't want to be a coward who scared to live I want to live to just finally be able to feel. Thank god I found this video, I really want to try not being afraid for once in my life.

[@sarahbutler8867]

great realization to have, hope you're doing well! :)

[@joonmoonbaboon]

I hope you made that leap.

I hope this finds you doing just that...flying like an eagle!!

[@gloryinme523]

I hope you cruised into your 30’s with a diploma/degree buddy.

[@eugeniakyrylenko8247]

That’s why he says that better to have that reset button, to be able to move forward at 20, 30 and 60. Doesn’t matter, coz it’s never enough. You can have a great career of acrobat all your life, then lose a leg and move to parents again. Life is divine in all shapes.

[@Jentzenfong]

This is what a life should mean. We're not a programmed robot who live in the way the others expect. We're human, we live our life, we create our live. Live doesn't happen to you, life happen for you.

[@ottomc560]

u got it!

[@TheSighphiguy]

Jim Carrey for President! dropped out of school in 8th grade(9th?) and is wiser and more intelligent than 90% of masters graduates. this speech was a wonder to behold. humorous, heartfelt, passionate and thoughtful. notice he had no speech written. no bullet points. no outline. he felt, and meant every word. a master of the spoken word. a true oracle of life. though he has spent decades making us laugh, he has also proven he can touch our souls with his wisdom. anyone that downvotes this video has only proven to themselves that they have no soul. this oration WAS a work of art and a pleasure to watch. bless you Jim Carrey! you have shown us the best of yourself, and it is more than enough.

[@saurabhsuresh5907]

Exactly my opinion! Well said.

[@visheshrao5629]

+Sigh PhiGuy just to mention there WAS a speech-screen up there! But anyway it was one of the most beautiful speech I have ever come across!

Well.... if YOU say so.
