This woman is a national treasure. She had it rough growing up. We need more people like her. Always been faithful to her roots and the area she grew up in. God bless you Dolly.
You treasure Whores? I WISH TH-cam WOULD STOP RECOMMENDING HER VIDEOS TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1Ti 2:9
Boy when we lose Dolly it's going to be one hell of a day here in East Tennessee. We worship her here for so many reasons. She has done so much for us and we love her. But I have a feeling this woman is going to go on for a LONG LONG time!
I thought I were the only one who noticed that. I listened to the speech again and again and in 2016 while I was in college I listed to again and assessed whether or not I was mixing up my dreams with my wishes
Although she never went to college, she is one of the wisest and most intelligent people ever! What an inspiration! She is truly an angel on earth! Love you Dolly!!
Dolly is the most awesome celebrity EVER!!! SHe delivers always! SHe makes me more proud to be a southerner than anything or anyone else in the south! I love you, Dolly!
She may not have gone to college, but she is a wise, quick witted, intelligent woman. Now I know that is repeating some of what others have said already, but I feel the need to relay it again. She is a fantastic business woman.
I've been to many concerts in my life but the one that always remains as one of the best was to see Dolly. She was so sweet and interactive with her audience throughout her performance, you could tell she was giving everything she had to entertain us and to show her love for her fans. There is only one Dolly Parton, a treasure to our earth! Love you Dolly :)
Ms Dolly, sounding and looking as wonderful and stunning as always. What a dear she is, so "normal" and still on the ground, with a outstanding big heart and soul. 🌻
Awarded: All Time Best Commencement Speech Ever: Dolly Parton Please never retire, when she goes to heaven 100 angels will come to earth for her. Dolly the most perfect rainbow.
FANTASTIC SPEECH!!! DOLLY, YOU'RE THE GREATEST - the smartest, most talented, insightful, heartfelt, and determined woman of the 21st century. What an example for women and humanity.
What a great and special speech. I didn't go to my college graduation. I was on a plane headed for Europe, but if Dolly had been speaking, I would have attended!
I can never get tired of watching this. I laugh and smile at all the same parts as if I was listening for the first time. I constantly qoute Dolly from her speech and songs regularly. This is simply brilliant and so true in so many ways. Her delivery is on point!!! she not only intrigues me she inspires me and gives me hope. Dolly for president 2020!!!
I think her speach is inspirational, I especially like what she sais about the difference between dreams and wishes. Dolly had the courage to dream big dreams and they have come true for her.
What can be said: She is a national treasure; as good inside as outside. Kindness beyond belief and genuine, humble intelligence that is over the top! She is a wonderful role model. God be with you Dolly!
Dolly is a great great person and she has my utmost admiration. Simple advice and true to her heart and that is what she is. No BS and just the good Dolly herself - rare in today biz world..
This lady is inspiring. Dolly takes education very seriously. That's a great thing. I wonder how many of these kids climbed the mountain without fear. I like her.
I like her songs. Lots of wisdom in this speech, like "I can give you information but not advice, because the things that worked for me may not work for you" Everybody has good things.
What a wonderful privilege for these students now graduated to have Dolly Pardon to speak to them! She is wonderful and so intelligent, wise and gifted! Great talent and a real success story! ❤️
"I have but one favor to ask of you. It's that you care more. Did you ever notice that there are a whole lot of people that do things just well enough to get by? But, caring is about striving for perfection. It's about how you look. It's about how you prepare and how you keep your commitments." ~ Dolly Parton
Yes, Melissa2087, that one really stuck with me. One of my best friends and I were talking about family drama stuff and how "some people should have been spayed and neutered before becoming parents" and it's true, those who get out of that slime have done those 4 things. College or no college it can still work.
Dolly never went to College but has more smarts then the ones who went to college with Dolly she used her heart and country smarts growing up and her love for God..Dolly was always real in life loving others and no schools cant teach you that but always go to school!!
A lot of those straight-laced P.C. academic types don't quite know how to deal with her sense of humor ("If I fell on my face, it would take forever to get me up!") -- but that's their problem, not hers!
I will always LOVE Dolly! Ever since I was a child I’ve thought of her as a living, breathing Tinker Belle. Her speech was great! Hope they’ve kept learning, caring, and being kind💕🌹
Words spoken by Dolly are truly from the heart. "Care More". The impact of those words shall & will drive most of these people on to become more than ever before.
I respect and love Dolly a great deal and am working on something pretty big in my own way to show my appreciation for her, so if all goes well in maybe a year or two we'll see it. She truly is an amazing person.
Dolly is so sweet and always so humble by whatever she is ask to do or given. Money hasn't chnage her and she is as real as the air in the Tenneesee Mountains. As natraul as rain and the Tenneesee sun, she is simple the best and so real she tells no lies and say it as it is. how could we not like her for her honesty... Dolly may you live on to eb a hundred...
I've been watching a couple commencement speeches and hers if my favorite so far! It seems like she isn't showing off about her accomplishments or anything. Even Lisa Kudrow who was pretty good, got boring after awhile. Jk Rowling was pretty good too. I feel like she knows how to capture an audience and not make it boring while making it inspiring. Or maybe she seems very chill and comfortable and it makes it good? Does anyone have this feeling?
Dolly if you see this you are an inspiration to me. Your story has taught me a lot. I love we are from Tennessee. You are so humble and know where you come from. You are number one on people I would like to meet. Your faith, your strength,your kindness, and just being you. I love you! I don't say that to everyone.
First of all, people need to get a life and stop hating on Dolly Parton. If you don't like her then you don't need to watch her videos. It's as easy as that. I LOVE Dolly Parton! This speech is so inspirational and her new book Dream More that is based off of this commencement speech is by far the BEST book I've ever read! She is such a sweet person and so real! People really need to take a look at her beyong the makeup, hair, and boobs and see how genuine she is! Love you Dolly!
Dolly is an enlightened soul. I swear, her heart is so pure. Back before the patriarchy toppled matriarchal societies, those "trash" women were actually conduits to the divine, that was before THEY subjugated women into a negative thing which we all have suffered under. The fact that she saw the beauty in that as a little girl with the biggest heart is something beyond words. I can't think of another women in the spotlight who is this loved while carrying the trappings of "beauty" with humor, grace and humility. And her talent, forget about it..... wow..I just adore her.
What's makes Dolly a legend is her heart and being truthful Dolly might be the top at the best singers in the world..THE WORLD LOVED DOLLY SONGS AND HER SONG WRITTING WHATS SAD SHES talking at University the only thing behind her is high school and Dolly became a world hit on her singing and she never told singing in school but Dolly whats u in school and Dolly is the BEST!
Dolly started her library because her Daddy couldn't read. She wanted to encourage people to learn to read. They say that if a child is read to when they are very young that they will be better readers. How much difference in how many children do you think 20+ million books have made? She is a wonderful jewel in God's crown.
This woman is a national treasure. She had it rough growing up. We need more people like her. Always been faithful to her roots and the area she grew up in. God bless you Dolly.
Stymie S absolutely love Dolly Parton!!!

Boy when we lose Dolly it's going to be one hell of a day here in East Tennessee. We worship her here for so many reasons. She has done so much for us and we love her. But I have a feeling this woman is going to go on for a LONG LONG time!
Love how she defines dreams and wishes. She is such a beautiful person, one of the wisest women in country music.
I thought I were the only one who noticed that. I listened to the speech again and again and in 2016 while I was in college I listed to again and assessed whether or not I was mixing up my dreams with my wishes

This lady is inspiring. Dolly takes education very seriously. That's a great thing. I wonder how many of these kids climbed the mountain without fear. I like her.
Glad she mentioned her "Imagination Library" project -- certainly one of the crown jewels in her array of accomplishments.
also her laugh is so friggin cute omg
I like her songs.
Lots of wisdom in this speech, like "I can give you information but not advice, because the things that worked for me may not work for you"
Everybody has good things.
Nice
She’s a trooper. She’s nervous. God love her.
What a wonderful privilege for these students now graduated to have Dolly Pardon to speak to them! She is wonderful and so intelligent, wise and gifted! Great talent and a real success story! ❤️
Gotta love Dolly - brimming with humility and wisdom. A genuinely good soul.
Dolly is a kind, generous individual who has made it and shared her wealth. She is wonderful.
Definitely does share her wealth, she gave a Million Dollars in 2020 to help fight Covid
she is so bright, she said so many special and important things and she still did make people laugh. a true gift of hers. love her
What a great and humble person. I think it's great that she was encouraging the UT grads to learn to read.
