I'm confused what this comment means. Are you saying that anyone who is an "actual engineer" would be the perfect choice to give the MIT commencement speech? That's a pretty low bar honestly
@@ThisGuyDannyyy But I don't think it was really necessary to say "actual engineer" he could have just said "as a engineer" the "actual" part was uneccarary.
Hey Mark. I was one of the students in the crowd! Your speech really resonated with me, especially your advice regarding assuming kind intentions from the people close to you. I am someone who often struggles in social settings and overanalyzes all the interactions I have. These days whenever I feel anxious about how I am perceived I try to remind myself of your advice and it really helps :)
As one of the graduating students that experienced this in person, I will say that this is a speech that I will ALWAYS remember as Mark broke all the conventional rules and created a new bar for commencement speeches!
This speech is more to just the Graduating MIT Class of 2023, it’s to all kids, teens, college students, and adults. That’s what makes this so amazing.
It's easy to make it to MIT. I'm sure you'll get in. Have you tried the AMC 12? Take that. Then take the AIME. If you make it to the USAMO, you'll be basically guaranteed admission to MIT as long as you fill the application out perfectly with no spelling mistakes or obvious errors. @@lutimstrickshots9253
Mister Rodgers taught my generation empathy, understanding, kindness, and acceptance of others. My son has Mark Rober to teach him creativity, imagination, engineering, and the confidence to find solutions and change the world. Resources like Mr. Rodgers and Mark Rober are absolutely invaluable to kids born into families that lack in those areas. Thank you, Mr. Rober.
Quick question I feel like I don't know what to do. I'm in my 2nd year. I don't know what I would like to do. I don't understand how people come together and build something meaningful. Please tell me how I can get back on the path and do something or at least set out to do something meaningful or feel like I have a goal and wake up everyday to work towards it. Thanks.
Don't get me wrong, I think the speech was nice, but I bet you would find it more boring if it wasn't coming from a TH-camr you like (probably applies to me too).
Thank you so much Mark. This video helped me see the world in such a better light. The phrases about your mom got to my heart too, and that speaks volumes of your impact in the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is one of the best speeches I’ve listened to. Mark, you are an big inspiration to lots of people around the world, and theres no one better to give a commencement speech at MIT than you.
As a teacher and a parent, I am so grateful for what you do, Mark. You are inspiring the next generation(s) of engineers. Please keep persevering through hardship and putting your whole heart into what you do. It's working. You are making a tremendous positive impact.
As a university leader, I've attended many commencements and listened to an equal number of commencements speeches. You NAILED it! Very real, very grounded, very applicable, and very inspirational. Practice Naive Optimism. Frame Your Failures. Foster Relationships. Playful Anarchy!! Truly exceptional work, as always.
Hi Mark; that was a very playful yet the most beautiful commencement speech I've heard. I'll be getting my degree in 4 weeks so the information was super relatable. I'm so grateful to have stumbled on your youtube channel and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Cheers and lets change the world while maintaining that level of humour💜.
Ive sat through and watched a few commencement speeches but this was honestly the most empowering one. The advice isnt cheesy everyday advice but an actual tool for reaching your goals.
Mark, your speech was really well done. As someone who just graduated high school and is going on to an STEM engineering school in South Dakota. You’ve even given me hope and inspiration for my next steps in life. Your advice was really impactful and can be shown to not just graduates, but to anyone. Thank you for your words of Advice.

I am not MIT. I am a highschooler on another continent. But i was motivated. Thank you Mark, I know what i must do to achieve my dreams. Trully, you have succeeded in inspiring the young. Godspeed
Confirmed. My father has never forgotten when JFK spoke at his high school graduation. (His event had preempted Dad's graduation ceremony reservation, so JFK stopped by.)
i just listened every words every gestures that you delivered. I have never ever seen such speech with the synchronization of such a convincing words and that level of confidence. Really loved it.
Mark, your MIT commencement speech was amazing! Your words of wisdom and inspiring message will have a lasting impact. Congratulations on a remarkable achievement!
I always felt like something was missing from my academic experience when my school cancelled our commencement ceremony for my undergrad class back in Tehran, Iran, because we were told “art schools don’t deserve a real graduation ceremony”. Now I am a year away from graduating from my 3 year MFA program in the US, and keep feeling like I don’t deserve a future, and I might never have one. After watching this video, I am adopting this speech and ceremony as mine and choose to reimagine my graduation in this beautiful context. Thank you for sharing this video for all the rest of who weren’t MIT class of 2023 to see and be inspired by. Big.. tears.. coming.. in.. oh boy ❤🎉
In my opinion that's unfair that you don't get a graduation for an Art School. Why does society get to decide how important an interest/hobby/achievement is to each individual... So what if they think an Art School is not as important to them, but it is to you and presumably every other student in the same boat as you and since it is important to you why can't they celebrate that you achieved something? Just seems unfair and narcissistic
As an MFA graduate from several decades ago, I offer you this advice: Create your own destiny. No one else can make you feel that you deserve -- or do not deserve -- anything but you. If you feel unworthy, ask yourself what it would take for you to feel worthy. Then DO IT. No one will ever show up on your doorstep and hand you your dreams. You need to define them for yourself and take action to make them a reality. (Spoken with ❤)
I watched this again 2 months later and your words still resonate. Even though I am 70 years of age, there are still challenges in life that bring reward. Great speech mate.
Congrats to them, but I don't need more reminders that I should have graduated this semester. The education system is very broken when it comes to students with disabilities (especially those with multiple disabilities).
Mark, since I just started college it's been a challenge and with this speech of yours it's made me realize no matter what happens in my career in college I will evolve and learn how to combat different challenges. Thank you so much.
Hello mark, I was that one confused pet in that comment speech at MIT. I was very confused but the speech you gave was very inspiring. I bet that the entirety of Gen Z or any other generation might have picked up a thing or two from that amazing speech. Thank you for inspiring our childhoods and us confused pets.
Amazing speech Mark! Such great advise and wisdom and the delivery was perfect. It was real and heartfelt and most importantly it was YOU. Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉🎊
Amazing speech Mark! I hope someday I’ll be among students at MIT as well. I’ve always looked up to you as an idol. Creative, smart, kind, and willing to embrace the unknown. Congratulations on your speech! ❤ ❤ ❤
such a privilege to have spoken on the same stage as you- really appreciate your inspiring words and wow what a hard act to follow!! thank you for sending our class off in style :)
can I just say I think the most inspirational part of this for me is listening to you mess up words the same way I do all the time and just keep going. Thank you so much for not being perfect.
Hey Mark! I was the faculty member you had a chat with in the cafeteria! You are such an amazing person on and off camera. I cant believe it when they said you where gonna come here and give a speech. I rushed to the cafeteria to see you and sign a magazine. Thank you so much. You’re such an inspiration!
That doesn't sound wrong at all. I completely understand. To have raised her a child, into the adult that Mark is today, she had to be a pretty amazing woman!
Mrs Rober sounds like she was among the vaunted company of being an _Ultimate W Mom,_ I personally think my own mom could be counted among them but that might be personal bias, but Mrs Rober objectively sounds like she's a true OG Ultimate W Mom, especially what with her positive influence still continuing forward even a decade later.
this is the best speech I've ever heard! It is a perfect example of how to structure any speech and deliver it. Mark, thank you! you're such an inspiration!
If there’s an award for most inspiring individual you deserve it, Mark, through all of your work whether intentional or not you instill curiosity and a passion for impacting the world into everyone who watches and listens to you.
That speech was amazing! Witty, insightful, empathetic, and entertaining. Also, mad respect for challenging yourself to step outside your comfort zone with public speaking :) A beautifully written and performed speech! 🎉
What's incredible to me about Mark is his confidence to give this speech. He teased himself, famous people, and MIT at several points throughout. The amount of allusions in this speech ensured that everyone would resonate with it in at least one way. The humility he showed and down to earthness(Is that a word?) showed his human side which is really cool to see. That is true confidence in my opinion, and I hope the MIT graduates and everyone listening to it can bring some of this confidence into their lives to make the world a better, non-judgmental place.
Mark: You, an experienced engineer who drew inspiration from your Mom's life experience and encouragement, have now received a standing O from some of our best future engineers; and that is the cherry on top. Congratulations, Class of 23, and this retired engineer can confirm that Mr. Rober's three points will enhance your life.
DEI exists, they're not our best and brightest. Turns out the best and brightest ended up at Hillsdale or Liberty U where they give admissions by merit. @@DanielleSnyder
Outstanding, Mark! I did not do well at your third piece of advice. I was diagnosed this year, at 42, with ADHD. One aspect of this neurodivergence is "object permanence." In the case of my college friends, my brain basically forgets that they exist. Now that I am aware of this, I can engineer solutions and course correct.
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.
Great speech. As I was watching I remembered my day of graduation and imagined you as our speaker and I got goosebumps with that thought. Thank you for this inspiring message.
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.
You crushed the speech in the best possible way and it was truly inspiring as is so many things you do are. My son loves watching all your videos (as do I!), has been a CrunchLabs subscriber since it was announced, excitedly looking forward to S2 and camp CrunchLabs, and also has aspirations to one day go to MIT when he's older. To be able to share this with him was amazing. Thank you for all that you do!
MIT class of ‘24 here- never have I been so jealous of my seniors. thanks for the amazing speech and i’ve got my fingers crossed that maybe you can include a couple of us younger generations in the back of your mind ;))
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.
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
Congrats dude! Learn from me, Professor Leonard on TH-cam 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.
Mark, that speech was amazing and I am so grateful as a non MIT grad, I was still able to learn and be inspired by you! I will definitely be using your advice! Thank you
I have just now finished my Freshman year of high school, and for nearly two years I have had my sights set on one single goal. I want to be where those students sit. I have planned my high school career down to the minute, and I am working tirelessly to stand out among the thousands of students just like me. I feel as if I want it just as much as anyone, yet I cannot help but feel out of place, imposter syndrome, as it may be. Your speech was a rally cry to me, as well as everyone out there. I know I cannot directly relate to everyone who actually sat in those chairs, but it is so amazing that you shared this experience with the rest of us, and I cannot thank you enough for what you do.
Sr. manager / software architect here... 22yrs experience in the industry..... the imposter syndrome never goes away. But spending some time to accurately reflect on your efforts, your accomplishments, and your professional relationships DOES help to assuage the guilty feelings of "I'm not sure I belong here"
I’ve never related to a TH-cam comment as much this one, I’m also struggling through this weird era of highschool and it’s hard to keep my head above water. Just know no matter what anyone tells you, nobody has it figured it. We’re all just following what our little our brains and hearts have to give us. But feel comforted by the fact that you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. In this generation, we have amazing role models like Mark that have paved the path for us to do amazing things. Keep going strong, follow your gut.
Wonderful, thoughtful and emotional commencement speech Mark. Also to bring your mom into the picture, a lovely tribute. Well done! Bernie, Sydney Australia.
I watched this a few days ago, and I have to say that I found your speech funny, but also unexpectedly wise and worthy of repeated viewings. This was a brilliant speech.
I've never watched a video with this much immersion only to realise that I just watched a stranger giving speech at MIT for a whole 20mins, absolutely great speech!
I've been struggling to graduate this year in HS and this speech has definitely helped me to review my position and continue on. Thank you Mark for that and all the amazing content you make for millions of people.
Ngl, this is a really touching speach. I finished school last year, and after this gap year a have no idea what I want to study, there are just too much possibilities. After this speech I will just take the leap of faith and see what comes at me. Thank you Mark Rober, I always enjoyed your Videos and I will definitely keep you advice in mind.
Totally worthy! The irony is, I went to my daughter's graduation ceremony last night and listened to another speaker's advice for achieving success after that 'Cap'. There are so many ways to get there... and make a difference. Thanks for sharing yours. 👍❗
As an actual engineer, Mark is the perfect choice to give a comment speech at MIT. Well deserved.

Mrs Rober sounds like she was among the vaunted company of being an _Ultimate W Mom,_ I personally think my own mom could be counted among them but that might be personal bias, but Mrs Rober objectively sounds like she's a true OG Ultimate W Mom, especially what with her positive influence still continuing forward even a decade later.
this is the best speech I've ever heard! It is a perfect example of how to structure any speech and deliver it. Mark, thank you! you're such an inspiration!
If there’s an award for most inspiring individual you deserve it, Mark, through all of your work whether intentional or not you instill curiosity and a passion for impacting the world into everyone who watches and listens to you.
That speech was amazing! Witty, insightful, empathetic, and entertaining. Also, mad respect for challenging yourself to step outside your comfort zone with public speaking :) A beautifully written and performed speech! 🎉

What's incredible to me about Mark is his confidence to give this speech. He teased himself, famous people, and MIT at several points throughout. The amount of allusions in this speech ensured that everyone would resonate with it in at least one way. The humility he showed and down to earthness(Is that a word?) showed his human side which is really cool to see. That is true confidence in my opinion, and I hope the MIT graduates and everyone listening to it can bring some of this confidence into their lives to make the world a better, non-judgmental place.
Thumbs up for you!
The word you're looking for might be pragmatism.
Keep rocking.
Mark: You, an experienced engineer who drew inspiration from your Mom's life experience and encouragement, have now received a standing O from some of our best future engineers; and that is the cherry on top. Congratulations, Class of 23, and this retired engineer can confirm that Mr. Rober's three points will enhance your life.
Aww this comment is so inspiring. Thank you.
DEI exists, they're not our best and brightest. Turns out the best and brightest ended up at Hillsdale or Liberty U where they give admissions by merit. @@DanielleSnyder

Outstanding, Mark! I did not do well at your third piece of advice. I was diagnosed this year, at 42, with ADHD.
One aspect of this neurodivergence is "object permanence." In the case of my college friends, my brain basically forgets that they exist. Now that I am aware of this, I can engineer solutions and course correct.
well done, chat gpt

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.
Great speech. As I was watching I remembered my day of graduation and imagined you as our speaker and I got goosebumps with that thought. Thank you for this inspiring message.
That was incredible and the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard! Loved your values and encouragement! Thank you for spreading joy!
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.

Amazing speech Mark. You are truely an inspiration.
Every minecraft update ever
Amazing Speech Mark I loved it! As someone currently in college this really hit me and it was very inspirational.
You crushed the speech in the best possible way and it was truly inspiring as is so many things you do are. My son loves watching all your videos (as do I!), has been a CrunchLabs subscriber since it was announced, excitedly looking forward to S2 and camp CrunchLabs, and also has aspirations to one day go to MIT when he's older. To be able to share this with him was amazing. Thank you for all that you do!
It’s so nice to see Mark getting the recognition he deserves!
The comments on your videos are always nothing but positivity. I absolute adore this. You are a genuine and amazing person.
Как я рад, что платишь человеку который переводит твои ролики и мы их смотрим. Спасибо, Марк Робер и актёру дубляжа!
Кстати я его начал смотреть так как моё имя тоже Марк. Меня это заинтересовало и посмотрел его видео ролик и в итоге я теперь смотрю их постоянно.
Озвучка отличная)
It's IA
No, it's actually not IA nor AI@@matheussilvaunknownperfil6334
Mark is ALWAYS so kind to people it’s nice having people like him around
MIT class of ‘24 here- never have I been so jealous of my seniors. thanks for the amazing speech and i’ve got my fingers crossed that maybe you can include a couple of us younger generations in the back of your mind ;))
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.
This is great advise for anyone really not just people from MIT!
I couldn't think of a more deserving person to give this speech. Congratulations Mark!
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
Best of luck!
@@alch8485 thank you
You’re going to love tOSU! Go Bucks!!! :)
My Condolences
for you attending such a bottom feeder school.....
Congrats dude! Learn from me, Professor Leonard on TH-cam 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.
Lets take a moment to appreciate this man's
dedication and perseverance towards his channel💖👍
truly inspiring Mark!!!
Mark, that speech was amazing and I am so grateful as a non MIT grad, I was still able to learn and be inspired by you! I will definitely be using your advice! Thank you
I have just now finished my Freshman year of high school, and for nearly two years I have had my sights set on one single goal. I want to be where those students sit. I have planned my high school career down to the minute, and I am working tirelessly to stand out among the thousands of students just like me. I feel as if I want it just as much as anyone, yet I cannot help but feel out of place, imposter syndrome, as it may be. Your speech was a rally cry to me, as well as everyone out there. I know I cannot directly relate to everyone who actually sat in those chairs, but it is so amazing that you shared this experience with the rest of us, and I cannot thank you enough for what you do.
Sr. manager / software architect here... 22yrs experience in the industry..... the imposter syndrome never goes away. But spending some time to accurately reflect on your efforts, your accomplishments, and your professional relationships DOES help to assuage the guilty feelings of "I'm not sure I belong here"
I’ve never related to a TH-cam comment as much this one, I’m also struggling through this weird era of highschool and it’s hard to keep my head above water. Just know no matter what anyone tells you, nobody has it figured it. We’re all just following what our little our brains and hearts have to give us. But feel comforted by the fact that you don’t have to re-invent the wheel. In this generation, we have amazing role models like Mark that have paved the path for us to do amazing things. Keep going strong, follow your gut.
Honestly same here after 10 years experience in the video making field, but I convinced myself to become more confident.
I heard one Asian Kid got hired by Google after all University refuse to let him in ... he just saved 4 years of white hairs
Wonderful, thoughtful and emotional commencement speech Mark. Also to bring your mom into the picture, a lovely tribute. Well done!

Your content is so great. Pure, fun, clever, genuine and stimulating. Well done as always Mark!
Always yes
love how this comment was made 2 minutes ago and the video was made 3 minutes ago
Amazing speech!!! Please, never lose that genuine authenticity
I watched this a few days ago, and I have to say that I found your speech funny, but also unexpectedly wise and worthy of repeated viewings. This was a brilliant speech.
That was FANTASTIC. Great advice and one heck of a fun ending. You were rock solid and your presentation was spot on. Congrats
Absolutely brilliant. This guy is on track change the world. Hooray for Mark Rober!
Love it that you break rule, and traditions! I love your speech. Congrats all MIT grads!
I teared up when you told the personal story about your mother. You've done well Mark. Beautiful speech.
I've never watched a video with this much immersion only to realise that I just watched a stranger giving speech at MIT for a whole 20mins, absolutely great speech!
I've been struggling to graduate this year in HS and this speech has definitely helped me to review my position and continue on. Thank you Mark for that and all the amazing content you make for millions of people.
You got this
This is genuinely Impactful.
Naive Optimism is the reason I am still here today.
Thank you Mark.

Saw your speech on MIT's page and I gotta say you've inspired so many people to push past the difficulties of life and get through. Thanks Mark!
This is a powerful speech. You literally gave them a great advise about life after their university.
Looking forward to that update in 30 years. That will be wild to look back and remember that I watched this video.
Ngl, this is a really touching speach. I finished school last year, and after this gap year a have no idea what I want to study, there are just too much possibilities. After this speech I will just take the leap of faith and see what comes at me.
Thank you Mark Rober, I always enjoyed your Videos and I will definitely keep you advice in mind.
This guy puts so much work into all his videos! He never fails to amaze me!
We were able to stream this live. Legendary moment, something I will never forget. Mark is the perfect person to give the commencement speech at MIT.

Totally worthy! The irony is, I went to my daughter's graduation ceremony last night and listened to another speaker's advice for achieving success after that 'Cap'. There are so many ways to get there... and make a difference. Thanks for sharing yours. 👍❗
Congratulations Mark! Watched your entire speech... absolutely phenomenal
This was a fantastic speech, it really resonated with me and I gotta say it did may me teary eyed
