“Apple stands at the intersection of liberal arts and technology, and we’re proud to have many outstanding MIT graduates on our team,” Cook said in a statement. “We believe deeply that technology can be a powerful force for good, and I’m looking forward to speaking to the Class of 2017 as they look ahead to making their own mark on the world.”
“Mr. Cook’s brilliance as a business leader, his genuineness as a human being, and his passion for issues that matter to our community make his voice one that I know will resonate deeply with our graduates,” MIT President L. Rafael Reif said.

[@shashankm14]

Speech starts at 07:08. You're welcome! :)

[@Roguechan]

Thank you kindly! :)

[@Trolls971]

[@podrouzk]

Amazing speech! Tim Cook is a man of values.

[@woodjeff6238]

@sugar daddy We thought about it thats why we disagree with you. Being gay does not mean that one is evil or is a pedophile. Since when did your Jesus ever talk about gayness? All he talked about was love. Something your followers are not showing. Might want to re-read your bible and stick with what Jesus actually said and not what you think he should have meant.

[@rafadydkiemmacha7543]

sugar daddy what does being gay have to do with having values? You live in medieval or something? Do you know single gay human personally?

[@davein310]

Hey sugar daddy, there's no shame in being a power bottom. Accept it and be rid of all that self-hate. You'll be much happier. Your therapist can help.

[@spectregaudi1242]

Yea, yea :) And nobody noticed how many ppl left after hes amazing speech hm? Well 22:30. You guys are totally brainwashed at its very best.

[@tarkovskybresson4581]

They left for professional duty. MIT students are very busy. The end of a speech is the best moment to leave. It is a matter of respect. Those are outliers, the core distribution is still there. If the hate for Tim was statistically significant, he would not be be doing a speech at MIT in the first place.

[@DonJon200]

Pretty much enjoyed it because no politics involved! That's the spirit!

[@koyatanabe1640]

His speech was so moving and makes me do hard work. I had felt that Jobs' speech was the best one, but today, this is added to my great speech list.

[@JJANGGU.]

where are you from

[@jimhuguet2699]

TERRIFIC SPEECH!! I really liked Jobs' speech at Stanford, and I am a big fan of "think different," but this took graduation speeches to a new level. Tim's a great CEO, but an even greater humanitarian.

[@mataytayahmed4950]

Jim Huguet couldn’t have said it better myself

[@fleXcope]

Skip to 7:00 if you'd want to see Tim rising up to the speech

[@wthilmi]

now i know why Steve Jobs choose him

[@runegodly34]

Didn't look at a script once. And his speech was very insightful.

[@TheMysticHours]

Where in the video do you see a teleprompter?

[@roblesvideos]

You can see them at 20:48

[@alekhya615]

13:35.

[@josethemacho]

There are 2 teleprompters in front of him, left and right...

[@TheRevivngGamer]

17:12 the girl in the middle like "wtf, I'm just tryna graduate bruh"

[@mike961990]

Experimented with windows PC 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 holy Jesus Christ Tim I fell off he chair

[@hungtrinh5193]

really great, ilove this speech

[@arpitpandey777]

his speech reminded me of steve jobs speech at stanford in 2005

[@bee1445]

Tim's speech was great but Steve Jobs speech was legendary. We had to study his Stanford speech in my speech class. It's already taking it's place in history.

[@ANF4LYFE]

Coming from someone with the user name 'Sugar Daddy'....

[@myt613]

TERRIFIC SPEECH Wow !!! Tim is a man of values.

[@vicentcarro]

MYT but he ruined the speech by himself putting placements, good for Apple..suck at last

[@unlokia]

Tim: _"Thennnnk youuu"_ :) nice man!

[@charliefreij3574]

TIM COOK , you are GREAT .

[@tzukit4727]

"Use your hands and minds to build something greater than yourself" (Mens et Menus)

[@xbraac]

Tzu Kit 21:15 "Use your minds and hands and your hearts to build something bigger than yourselves. Always remember there is no idea bigger than this." Lol he said it right as I was reading this comment

[@AnkitKumar-gg6de]

One of the best speech I have ever heard,I reached to some of stage of your speech Tim Cook...

[@avarelab]

That is why Apple is so big, its people has clear what is really important for the humanity, thanks for this inspiring video!

[@jaiskreno]

I died at "windows pc" ahahahhahaha

[@wthilmi]

great speech with some marketing of products

[@tarkovskybresson4581]

Great people talk about ideas (i.e. Tim Cook) small people talk about other people (i.e. Apple haters) This is the idea I wanted to talk to you about.

[@liz1236414]

why is no one talking about the guy with the weird hat in the beginning?

[@unlokia]

You are!

[@123Batka]

That hat is Mongolian national Hat

[@TanChoonHong]

Awesome! A soul stirring speech. Go forth and serve humanity. I'm with you.

[@philippweber999]

Very inspiring speech Mr.Cook

[@TheRevivngGamer]

17:12 girl with the red head has finally found purpose. It is all but of Tim Cook. Thank you

[@henrytang6483]

I was there, It was a wonderful speech.

[@liamthorpe425]

I love this speech. #empowerment

[@pandaengine]

"Thank you Tim that was terrific" Yeah it was :D

[@chx2636]

I really admire Apple‘s responsibility for the environment

[@arnoldpraesent174]

This one of the best speech i have seen. Great!

[@bethmcguire9131]

Thank you, Tim! Both insightful and inspiring!

[@VinayKumar-db4qz]

Awesome speech.

[@cardcode8345]

Tim Apple

[@Bob-gd4uu]

Really understand why Apple is under his leadership. Obviously there are some things that have to improve but Steve Jobs chose THIS MAN, and for good reason it really seems, in my honest opinion, but hey, whatever. Haters can hate if they want, don't be trolls

[@ma82durga]

Wow. Great speech on technology to build and innovate for human values Tim!

[@viswamurthy007]

Brilliant speech

[@ramamohanreddy9080]

Wow...... Great Speach

[@shankarbhattacharya5887]

Apple is a knowledge that helps to understand what is the mission of man !

[@unlokia]

The guy at the start looks like he'd blend in well in "Mork and Mindy"

[@lizchaniotakis]

oh wow really big thoughtful ideas

[@favio1415]

Go Tim! Go Duke!

[@EncinasPro]

That wouldve been cool if he said "free iPads for everyone !"

[@adnanmukhtar3137]

Tim's speech is better than Steve Job's at Stanford. Both great personalities with greater visions.

[@giangonzalez4631]

Can someone explain the hat of the first speaker?

[@unlokia]

Yes, he's from _"Mork and Mindy"_ No, being truthful, the guy's name is Casey NiceHat.

[@batkaB]

Yeah He is wearing Mongolian hat and I don't know why he is wearing it

[@jeffschlarb4965]

Nanoo Nanoo?

[@brianmickelson4642]

That is a tudor bonnet, signifying that the wearer has achieved a doctoral degree. EDIT: Whoa, wrong hat... just saw the first guy. With that... I am clueless...

[@benw9949]

What on Earth is that hat? It looks like someone glued a chess piece to a propeller beanie. I hope that's not some traditional scholastic hat. (I'm guessing it's not actually any ethnic hat.) Wow, and I thought wearing a square board on top of a beanie (usual graduate cap) looked silly. That thing is just... Wow! (OK, now to the speech after the comic relief.)

[@lorenzoviolone]

WOW

[@denariuswright8284]

Very pleasant speech

[@bikramsiwakoti9787]

I'm from indian n i think im the first one who watched this vedio

[@muthukumarb6223]

I like his speaking style. he taught us always to look purpose to achieve anything that we keep as new fresh man forever. so that everyone follow your own purpose.

[@magnolia8626]

This was Epic!!

[@kanishkaralasi7408]

Great Speech!!!

[@cesar.jimenez]

Inspiring...

[@user-yf7rg4xm6x]

I admire that red tassel very much!

[@ahmedarafat2519]

Good time

[@FerOtero]

"and for God's sake don't become one [a troll]" but 8 minutes before he trolled windows...

[@friidryce1150]

tim apple

[@wilzenbermoy8674]

May i know the name of the person who did the opening prayer?

[@phlinhng3375]

social media become anti-social

[@edrage8679]

Damn i become a troll

[@theotherguys4381]

I was hating Tim Cook After when he take over the CEO position of Apple But, But Now my Prospect Has changed and I have faith that Apple is On Right Hand. Respect you and love your Thoughts, Tim. and Miss you Steve Jobs

[@nancylee9185]

Who is the speaker in the beginning

[@sandaraibis8043]

[@sundayseance]

first dude looks like a character from civilization games. he also looks like a lion. and a combination of donald sutherland and larry ellison

[@ahhoaky1430]

Ba oi đến bao giờ chúa mới thương ba...!?

[@AndrewXiaFilmography]

product placement at its finest

[@rizkyfarizanfiqri7920]

Do Tim cook, cooking his food so properly ?

[@brucedavid8735]

NO MORE ROCKETS USE LARGE AIRCRAFT THAT CAN FLY INTO SPACE TRANSITION TO A SPACECRAFT FROM A PLANE

[@IrishGal690]

Great speech, but Apple for the people. serve? Ha if you can afford one of their computers..or phones. SO lets revamp, they serve the well-off.

[@Eliot451]

If the Pope is truly a compassionate man concerned about combating poverty as you state at 14:18 he should allow the use of contraceptives and grant women control over their own bodies. Is that so difficult?

[@copypastecopypaste]

So what about making affordable computers for people with low income?

[@Bob-gd4uu]

What about making some money and quit bitching? Buy a used Mac if you don't have enough, that's what I did

[@vicentcarro]

copypastecopypaste I like your thinking, good, good

[@proustleo6839]

funny cap

[@The5starSTUNNNA]

Dafuq is on his head

[@RS-wo9wy]

Ad.

[@tarkovskybresson4581]

MIT understand the importance of Tim Cook, but Jobs Haters don't. I will choose MIT before any random Jobs Haters on KZbin AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@josethemacho]

Again, Tim is reading a script.... shame

[@ImagineImagesSVG]

Alex Listen to what the speech is saying instead of focusing on if he's reading it or not...😪

[@josethemacho]

The speech is made by someone else, someone who believes. Tim is just a shark money.

[@ravenshireful]

This guy is the epitome of entitlement, privilege and white-guilt.

[@khalidsheikh4699]

Steve Jobs and now Tim Cook... they make fun of Microsoft whenever they get a chance! Bill Gates has always been respectful towards everyone including Apple foul mouths! That shows the man's character! Gates has talked less about doing things for humanity but has already contributed billions for humanity! Tim cannot forget Microsoft and Windows even in his noble commencement speech--full of "What you can do for humanity"! That shows his obsession with Microsoft. By the way, even today more than 90% of PC users not just "experiment with" but actually USE Windows PCs to do most of the productive work done on this planet on devices that cost only a fraction of what one has to pay for Apple's beauty queens! Windows work horses, like Microsoft itself, have been derided as "Cheap Plastic Machines" by the Snobs while these cheap machines have silently been running the world! Finally, it was really nice to know that Apple introduced their exorbitantly priced iPods, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches with the sole purpose of serving humanity!!

[@hansbaum7272]

TRUE!

[@kusoge_enjoyer]

Khalid Sheikh You're totally right, exept on one little détail : it's an Apple Watch, not an iWatch : ^)

[@khalidsheikh4699]

Right, Thanks!

[@tarkovskybresson4581]

When will you understand that Apple glorify Microsoft? those guys are smart. They don't have any time for the ego. Competitor like Microsoft are national treasure because they drive Apple to create beyond expectation. Competition is the key to make the industry progress.

[@hansbaum7272]

I think you talk about Steve ballmer. Yes he did. But look at bill gates, satya or sundar. Tim cook is disrespectful.

[@themiddleman5886]

Baaaaa, I'm am apple sheep

[@sphinx333]

Yawn. A bunch of banalities. Trying hard to make a connection with Job's old speech. No offence but nothing and no one can top steve's speech at Stanford U.

[@DATHUNDERPOWOW]

Im not going to lie, whenever he plugged apple into his speech, I cringed.

[@wildreams]

Hater?

[@felipeacosta6356]

DA THUNDAPOWAZER Why? I mean he gives examples of what he knows. It's not like he is going to talk about all companies. Not all companies are the same. He just shares his personal experiences...

[@felipeacosta6356]

Dashcam Report Not necessarily. He is talking about deep things independent of any particular company when he refers about the graduates lives. Also, Apple is a very hard place to get a job on, and many, many Ivy League graduates don't get a job or get fired because they sometimes feel entitled. But still, he might want the best of them, and that is why he is sharing the experience of working at Apple as something good.

[@game______on]

apple is a large part of his life lol what do you expect

[@rogeh5687]

He has every reason to be able to plug Apple. He as a decision maker has helped change the world. He has helped make disability with technology so mainstream, that anyone can use it. He has made a commitment to pushing forward social values that didn't exist anywhere else and as an openly Gay man, Apple had enough faith in him to keep him at the helm during one of the most important times in history.

[@zackthebongripper7274]

Apple is the new Samsung. LOL. I CALLED IT THE DAY JOBS DIED. I said in ten years Apple will be just like another gadget company.

[@jmmacalalag]

Jobs pushed innovation... cooked simply took over a train that was already moving... Now the train seems to be running out of fuel... Mad respect for Jobs but he can't pick good CEO's, now we're stuck with apple crap... I used to be psyched with every apple product release.... now it's so boring with technology that Samsung already did...

[@sundayseance]

tim cook is so fake.... [put anything here]

[@Theyliedtoyou]

Good job? Great speech? He talks about serving humanity, but they have nets on their buildings to keep employees from jumping off the roof.

[@karthikchoubisa3156]

That's the problem of China. Tim Cook shouldn't be blamed for that.

[@Theyliedtoyou]

The incident I'm referring to is the one at Foxconn. They are a parts supplier to Apple, not a vendor for Apple. When someone talks about humanity, but they accept contracts from companies where employees at actively killing themselves due to dire working conditions, its hard not to make note on the hypocrisy. I do want Apple to take responsibility for monitoring and controlling conditions at their parts suppliers. Foxconn was probably the lowest bidder when bids were being taken, but that does not make it okay to use a company that works employees to death so that Apple may increase their bottom line. Conditions have improved at companies who have contracts with Apple. They have taken responsibility to improve conditions just above the point of suicide, but he is still the last person who should be talking about humanity.
