    What a lovely, thoughtful, and inspiring speech. "This is your time and it feels normal to you, but really there is no normal. There is only change, and resistance to it, and more change."

    it's up to all of us to take what we can from this... she gave the speech at one location but it is here for all of us to learn from... if this had taken place 10yrs ago not one of us would be able to see or hear the advice she offers but the fact that we live in the age.. yet that we are the first to live in an age where we are fortified the opportunity to witness this profound speach is a gift to all of us.. in short count your blessings, be grateful and have empathy..

    Well was directed here through Udemy to understand what's clarity. And I am so overwhelmed to find one of the best commencement speeches I have ever seen. Where she has perfectly portrayed the minute details of her life with true clarity.

    @rogerstoryteller 8 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    What a great speech - heartfelt and insightful, and revealing along the way how an actor crafts her life experience. She's obviously thought very carefully about what she could possibly offer these graduates, apart from a brush with glamour, and taken a long look at what her experience has to offer them.

    There are those who cannot see; there are those who WILL not see; there are those who see and understand. Meryl Streep always seems to me to be a human being who happens to be a movie star. I think she's the coolest.

    Being an actor requires one to be fairly intelligent for you must remember your lines while pretending you’re someone else! It’s it’s an amazing ability when you accomplish it well -and that’s how I feel about Meryl Streep

    I've received three different degrees. In the first one the governor of Kansas gave the address. In the second one a rising politician who had an appointed position in state government and the Secretary of Commerce spoke at the third. Where the hell was Meryl Streep when I needed her. I would go back to school and get another degree if I was assured she would be the speaker. She is beautiful, witty, clever and a national treasure. These women were lucky.
