[@Msjan1011]

This man has no ego.. What a wonderful encouraging speech!!!

[@AbirHasanDipu]

You sir just changed me...

[@zvonest4]

me too

[@SuperSheldore]

This guy is a delight, I could listen to him all day.

[@rafaelgpontes]

Wise words! This guy is a genius! I love his work.

[@johnpezza250]

This guy has done so much more than any of us could ever do, and he wants to do more. It's truly inspiring.

[@kpsthakkar]

Khan Academy is revolutionary.

[@itismetaphorical1016]

great speech! the world needs positivity👍

[@RexGalilae]

A revolutionary man indeed!!

[@krishisanti]

this is a kind of speech that i would love to listen a thousand times and not get bored

[@dreamydeb]

What an absolutely amazing man! He overwhelms me every time. SO inspiring. Thanks Salman Khan. Thanks Ann Doerr.

[@tangiblephoton]

OMG... That's my teacher!

[@jjboy555]

This man is so IMPACTING, so INSPIRING, and drastically GAME CHANGING. He deserves a Nobel or something.

[@TINAWHYTE]

I wish I could like this again.

[@jackfn1234]

With all the politicians messing up America's public education, it's so nice to real innovators like Khan actually DOING something to make a positive difference. The future of education is like Khan Academy, and I greatly look forward to the day when all students take advantage of it. Thank you Sal.

[@Mephistopheles019]

Great speech. If Sal keeps going at the rate he is, Khan Academy will go down in history as one of the greatest gifts to mankind.

[@TballaJones]

Probably the most genuine human to exist on this giant rock we're stuck on. Well done, sir. Your work has been appreciated, and will continue to be. Keep your intuition lucid, my friend.

[@drip2836]

Aww man wish he had spoken longer, I wanted to hear a little more from him, nonetheless Mr. Khan, you did well and I've enjoyed watching your Khan Academy videos in the past. Continue to spread positivity in this world and you are truly amazing! Thank you for your support and your commencement speech was incredible! Wish you the best of luck Mr.Khan! :D

[@croteauchris1]

Sal, you are a true hero. Not the kind of term we throw around for people who show great courage, but the kind that really means you are changing our world for the better. I cant thank you enough!

[@Malfestlima]

Salman Khan is amazing.

[@mbelkaid]

Steve job has done a lot for mobile and computers, You Mr Khan have given every human a chance to learn and your help is unmeasurable by any standard of measurement. Thank you so much May God bless you.

[@sarkarsweet]

Just amazing! The dedication and perseverance behind the free global education concept of Sal Khan is absolutely staggering. The focussed message to the 2012 graduating class at Rice is far greater for all thinking people, and even if a few do something, it is great change possibility.

[@DilrubaShowkat]

Just love the way you see life & thanks for mentioning " you need to tell people how much you love them, before its too late" . success is blessing, it should make one more human not what is called 'materialistic'. This world is still beautiful because of great person like you exist!!

[@sKHANcreative]

He so awesome , no one even the politician can give such a powerful speech , he is not just perfect in Teaching he is also has brilliant way of thinking . As far as i know a man like him will see a bad day .

[@derrsonn]

This is so profoundly captivating. This guy has my vote for whatever.

[@ComfortChef]

I'm about to head over to school to graduate from high school in 2 hours. Khan I've always watched your videos and they've helped me greatly, but I think this was the most empowering one yet. I was a bit scared to leave behind high school and head into college and the "real world" and I spent the greater part of today sleeping from pure anxiety. However, after I saw this video I felt confident again. Thank you for empowering me in life, I hope I can do the same for others in the future :]

[@MusicLegendIX]

Sal is one of my heroes. I just did a "Who is your hero" project on him and presented it to the class. He is just amazing.

[@TxFw]

Last paper I wrote in college over a year and a half ago was titled "Khan Academy & the Future of Education." Supporter then, supporter now. Good move on the book Sal. Hope it shakes things up!

[@sunnyrockstheshow]

One of the few ppl in the world whom i wanna meet before i die ...Sal you are legend...

[@dobraOsoba]

oh, i'm about to cry. Thank you Sal. Thank you so much!

[@UtubeChrisJones]

one of the best endings to a speech I've ever heard! I love the fact that the Khan Academy is pioneering global free education and his big message is share the love and be happy...

[@911aggie]

Awesome speech. It is people like him that change the world.

[@mrahua]

Khan Academy is changing You. Khan Academy is changing history.

[@Skifuel91]

Watched this while procrastinating from my engineering exam study, have no regret. This man is a god.

[@baako0834]

You're halfway through to the 20 years,how you holding up?

[@GiangPham-zj3pv]

Thank you so much, Sir! I cannot express how much I appreciate Sal Khan...When I was in the pit of thinking of myself as stupid and dumb on not being able to solve some homework, Sal's words that no one is stupid but rather our knowledge is incomplete due to gap of more foundational knowledge has spoken to me, and I'll never forget that. Great talks as always and all kudos to Sal!

[@wojciechfornal3335]

wisdom, talent, passion, sense of humor...to name a few Khan, you're just amazin'

[@ShaheenShine123]

this man is changing the world!! thank you mr. khan

[@saadmarko]

Hope everyone in the world would be like this guy!

[@FelixSan85]

Sal you have made a difference in my life more then you can imagine. Your education videos have done wonders from me and was a main reason that helped my GPA go from 2.8 to 3.7. Thank you! Cheers

[@GabrielaaCOLOMBIANA]

What an extraordinary man. Thank you good sir, for sharing your exceptional wisdom with our humble generation. God Bless!

[@Jatin19902]

[@LSBFLondon]

An Amazing Speech by Salman Khan on Empowerment and Positivity helps students to understand these concepts and give back to the universe and the community!

[@kabascoolr]

Oh God, this is about the most empowering speech I've ever heard. Keep on the good work.

[@awaisakram6173]

[@catklyst]

This guy needs a nobel prize.

[@gangadharlahane6548]

Thank you Sal, for sharing your wisdom.

[@scottmark3892]

Yeah I am going to need you to re do the speech with a blackboard using different colours for each step of the speech...... You have been a massive life saver, Khan thankyou so much ( from Dunedin )

[@InWitheNew]

I would love to meet this guy some day. Such a genuine sounding message. I can dig that.

[@hehongfei1009]

This guy is amazing. The BEST teacher ever.

[@plastichoodluma2408]

Seriously the most useful speech I have EVER heard and I will make use of it. Wish more people watched this. Haha "you look like Ray Romano" is the top comment. We humans certainly look at things from all perspectives don't we.

[@ChizukGedarim]

LOVE YOU SAL!!!!!

[@nightmare4eVerr1]

Beautiful speech! I really loved Sal's perception, watched the whole video and was worth it! Even though Im not getting graduated :)

Great Job Salman! That's a great speech from the heart.

[@supernovia1st]

Can't wait to show this to my kids. Sal is their hero :)

[@maverick3k6]

Salman Khan is from Bangladesh. I'm proud of him as my fellow countryman. If you don't know where Bangladesh is you can Google it. It is not in India, as many people compare Bangladesh to India. In past many of the Bangladeshis have involved in many philanthropic works. Go Sal.

[@soogy12]

Great speech. Success never comes easily. There are always ups and downs.

[@TaxiDriver2591]

Best speech ever, from the best human ever!

In his head he conceived the idea of educating the world through video tutorials on social media when KZbin was just launched is in itself a million dollar idea.

[@RJinanS]

[@williampughiii5847]

no matter how much guts i have the world has showed me that certificates just make the world go round. life has processes. this needs too be followed. with out that there nothing that i can do myself. so i looked around and saw what my problems was. education. now time to get back to the basics with is sadly something that i was not give because of my situation. i am focused. to get what i was not allowed to notice in the foundation was a necessity. so am going to (get some) my foundation!education!
