Larry Ellison USC Commencement Speech | USC Commencement 2016

[@gntluvr]

One small lesson that can be taken from this is that he didn't start Oracle until he was almost 33, patience at its finest!!

[@xxyyxx9791]

Patience my ass This is 2019 Or when you wrote this 2018

[@William_Clinton_Muguai]

Well Mark Zuckerberg started FB at 19 in a Havard dorm room. "Everyone operates in their own time zone." you should say.

[@wrcturkey]

"deep inside of all of us there's a primal desire to do something important with our lives" yep, absolutely!

[@OneSeriousDude]

Hard to believe that hes 72 years old He looks like 50 years, and voice is more like 20-30

[@JohnDoe-ef3nv]

He must be sucking the juices out of human embryos.

[@patriciatagliabue5037]

his forehead doesn't even move lol plastic surgery yet great CEO

[@smartboon]

That is okay, build your self a good health routine like he did

[@231wildy]

And a very sharp mind too. Was watching his interview in 1998. He was a visionary to see the coming of cloud computing.

[@jayjawad3598]

Not only takes great care of himself, but he lives on the edge

[@gtboard]

I love commencment speeches from great entrepeneurs, so honest and so cut out of BS. Just a constructive and fasinating life journey.

[@wwlc-y4w]

true words.

[@tradrlarryone1827]

you are a piece of shit fuck you

[@paulburkart8907]

Have a rough day at school, Timmy?

[@GirishVenkatachalam]

Yes how they struck to their vision in face or naysayers and doubters

[@EinfachFredhaftGaming]

Wouldn't take him as too much of a role model since he's a Billionaire but still not happy because he isn't THE Billionaire. He doesn't know how to be proud of himself and that's very sad

[@joshturner_jt]

' keep searching for something that ignites your passions, and you never know you might just find one you love'

[@MrSuyashJoshi]

Common Theme with Steve Job's Graduation Speech at Stanford 'Keep looking and don't settle'. Thanks Larry for the reminder.

[@SS-pe4li]

MrSuyashJoshi Stay hungry Stay foolish!

[@vidhutripathi5368]

someone said to larry Ellison that he lacked ambition ...can't stop laughing

[@kaolid]

No one ever calls a college graduate crazy. Only college dropouts are called crazy, and some of those dropouts happen to be some of the most successful people in the world.

[@MisterAK103]

One of the best commencement speeches of all time

[@arj123sub]

One of the most honest speeches I have heard. Revealed a side of Larry that one does not know about

[@welissoncanto]

it's not about the job, it is about the adventure!

[@rajchavan9786]

Larry Ellison is worth $118 billion now, that makes him the 4th richest man on the planet.

[@William_Clinton_Muguai]

"What's an expert any way? Just some guy from out of town!" ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@William_Clinton_Muguai]

June, '23 still here enjoying.😍😍😍

[@R0cky0]

"After a certain point it can't be about the money... you can't spend it, no matter how hard you try. I know, I've tried hard, but it's impossible." - Very true, Larry, same here.

[@Kigoz4Life]

+Zen Chang stupid quote. u can buy 10 yachts for 3 billion easy.

[@bilawal]

Larry and Zen are talking about spending money... you're talking about burning it. Consider for a second... What after the 10 yachts? 10 more? How many homes can you own? How many homes can you sleep in? At some point material possessions aren't the answer, and what an excellent point that is.

[@Kigoz4Life]

***** yes. cocaine is the answer

[@GoytaDembiya]

Somebody calls me crazy. Now I feel good after watching this speech.

[@christopherarmstrong2710]

12:16 “When you start telling people that all the experts are wrong - at first they call you arrogant, and then they say you’re crazy.”

[@ANT6184]

Larry is the GOAT, so inspirational!! I share a passion for the outdoors, adventure and also despite my relative success relate to having people in your life like a spouse who doesn't share the vision and mocks the journey. Some people are in our lives for a reason or just a season but whether the experience is positive or negative they still provide value even if it's in the form of spiteful motivation or just to teach you who you should and shouldn't open you life up to.

[@riveravictor]

By far my favorite commencement speech.

[@mayummanusmatrbhulnepatr840]

Check out Steve Jobs' at Stanford

[@AnyFactor]

"When people start telling you that you're crazy, you just might be on to the most important innovation in your life....of course the other possibility is you are crazy"

[@ab687]

I guess all those crazy homeless around California are geniuses

[@louizteinluk]

everything he says, and the way he tells the story is just like Steve Jobs. lol

[@AozoraUltra2006]

Hmm...familiar attitude, but different delivery

[@mohsenalhadi850]

Of course because super successful ppl have the same mentality

[@jayramaswamy6908]

Long live Larry E the King! Great speech on how to zone in on your life's purpose and work at it.... forever!

[@ferdousadnan5814]

And vice versa the samurai of silicon valley had an influence on him too.

[@muzikology1018]

He is older than Steve Jobs

[@YEDxFILMS]

muzikology 101 his age is why you could learn from him. A 23 year old with a company like that

[@jaggis4914]

This guy is such an inspiration.

[@qncsc]

excellent, excellent, excellent speech! what a great speaker! he truly knows how to speak in an engaging way that has you listening intently for each and every second!

[@vimalcurio]

But why he is reading all things it his own life right? So he could without seeing that 🤔what do you think

[@fidelsule4181]

[@yawarqasim3354]

[@ruchk3872]

Great speech by American internet entrepreneur

[@theoneed2051]

I wouldn't call Larry an internet entrepreneur though. Most of his tech resides as the back-end of applications, where some of those apps. do face the internet, but again not Oracle's tech directly..

[@aaron___6014]

It was his work on relational databases that really revolutionized things.

[@dr.nafesingh6719]

You are great sir

Hello Larry Ellison how are you

[@ErickOberholtzer]

Jason Genova sickening

[@codewizard5327]

Yes you are accomplished and inspirational. I agree. But one gotcha! Even being so close to Steve, did you ever learn anything about Spirituality?

[@carmelopatane2855]

Mr Larry Ellison , i 'm very happy if i know you as soon as possible , please can you make to me this gift??

[@corm1000]

Explain to me why universities, bring in people who dropped out of College to give these speeches. "You just got a degree so now here Is a man who did not get one, who made billions". Why not have a liberal arts major, who became successful, come in and share his or her story. More of these grads could relate to that kind of thing. Do not get me wrong, I liked Ellison's speech, but one does not need college to be an entrepreneur. Do you see how this is kind of counter intuitive? This speech, should be given to kids who do not want to go to college, so they can learn they can have a chance through entrepreneurship. These kids just got degrees so why do they need to hear about the success of a man who did not get a degree.

[@shokhrukhbeksulkhonov3119]

This point is that, which I expected....

[@jwm66]

Excellent point

[@Ahonghekiaaksisj]

I think, it's because Ellison's resilience and experience. As you can see from the video above, the story of how he made a succesful company from scratch, what difficulties he faced. So, the universities think the world outside college is harder and this kind of people were invited to give these speeches, so the graduate students could learn from his experiences. The universities don't always invite the one who did get degree, who made billions to give commencement speech.(e.g : Barrack Obama, Sherly Sandberg and etc) Correct me if i'm wrong.

[@pcappabianca83]

He eventually got a PhD. Note the regalia he is wearing.

[@kassymkhan_kapparov]

Speech is to/for the contribution to the endowment 😉

[@tradrlarryone1827]

These guys do what makes them happy not what makes others happy it's tough because people in this world are fucken assholes don't listen to them. do what you love and don't listen to others opinions only listen to yourself only you your self knows what makes you happy and do it regardless what others say, people will always try to bring you down don't let them the choice is yours.... do what you love period if its out of the norm who cares you only live once go for it.

[@gtboard]

True.

[@rara200284]

Is this a commencement speech to UC Berkley or USC? I can't tell!

[@aaron___6014]

I USC is different from UC Berkeley, so based on the podium's seal it is most likely USC. USC is in Los Angeles and Berkeley is in Berkeley. Hope this helps.

+Steven Urke i did not want to comment on that speech. i am not sure what to do ...it was ugly but i did not want to add to the ugliness of the speech with an ugly aggressive counter-position. it really feels like society is going off the rails that such speech is accepted. and more, the speech just sounded infantile and not intelligent and not capable. what a mess! embarrassing, actually.

[@aashimabeaulieu5350]

+Marcus Aurelius To paraphrase you, "Marcus Aurelius", waste no more time arguing about what a good speech should be. At least appreciate the fact that the speech sparked discussion. Recognize that she is fresh out of college and was looking for a way to connect with the audience on a variety of levels. She should be lauded for her efforts to shed light on relevant issues of our time. Granted, it seems like you and Steven Urke were offended by some of the things she said (why?), but rather than simply criticizing her speech, why don't you describe what you found to be so offensive? Also, how can a speech be ugly? Please make your namesake proud and present a sound, logical argument that backs up your claims. I was honestly quite proud to see a young woman of color show such confidence and finesse in her speaking. Rather than finding everything to be wrong, try to recognize both sides of the coin and admit that there were at least some merits to her speech.

[@aashimabeaulieu5350]

+Steven Urke I realized that I replied only to Marcus Aurelius and not to you, so I would like you to read my comment above. You seem to be quite bigoted, yourself, seeing as you took the time to comment not only on the Valedictorian's speech, but also on Larry Ellison's speech. This a classic example of a pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Urke, I urge you to reconsider your thoughts, because, after all, your logic clearly fails.
