This speech has to be one of the most cogent graduation speeches written. It shows the complexity of Hilary's thought processes and why Hilary is a very effective role model who should be emulated. The world needs more people like Hilary.
Recently I got lost in life. I've been doubting myself and everything. I never expect to see Hilary talking deeply about attitude, life decisions... like this. Her speech helped me so much in ways that no words can describe. Thanks a lot for sharing! Now I'll go and ask myself questions and answer them as she suggested...
That is crap. Childhood shapes you forever and you cant just make up for it later. Nothing against her or her childhood but that statement is not true.
Completely agree with the previous reply. Childhood can never be revisited.... it has to be fully lived then.... if we miss something, we will be looking for it the whole life...
Just from this short clip it seems you other commenters are taking it much too simply and missing her point. She started off by saying the kind of person she was, lended her much more naturally to dedication to music than to anything else. She said she does not feel like she missed out on anything, and if she ever does, she can go and do it. Her focus in the discussion was on life lessons you learn in childhood and that she learned those through the lessons she took with various teachers.
@@rebekahwebster3104 I wasnt reffering to her and her childhood specifically, but rather to the comment that you can just revisit your childhood. Becuase thats a dangerous way of thinking when it comes to your own child.
Pretty sure I was in that audience in the very first clip, San Francisco at Amoeba music, so lucky to just have seen the poster stapled to a telephone pole! Maybe early 2000's? After the very generous presentation she went to Davies hall to concertize and then after that somewhere downtown SF to play electric violin with a punk band!
this video contains various clips spanning over a decade or so. she just turned 41 last month. ay the beginning of this video i'd say she was in her early 20s.
Please try to have a life outside of music Hilary. What I have noticed dating someone serious about music and having a roommate also serious about music. - They totally neglect exercise. - They neglect exercising the mind outside of music. - Their knowledge outside of music is negligible.
she did mention she looks after her health and doesnt get sick often, and that she did ballet when she was younger. ballet, like all forms of dance, is exhausting. i think shes doing fine as she is right now, even at 41
I believe that’s just those two people... I’m incredibly serious about music, and plan on doing it more in the future, but I still participate in my karate classes, I learn atomic physics and mathematical physics, and I keep care of my mind to make sure I keep it healthy. I’m pretty sure most musicians feel the same, and I, like them, am completely dedicated to music. I can’t see myself doing anything else.
@@idroppedmychicken - a musician with an interest in physics and math. you should give a lecture at Juliart. The students have world knowledge about a 5th grader and they couldn't solve a puzzle requiring logic if their life depended on it. Their world is music and only music.
@@lancelotxavier9084 many musicians are gifted and have potential outside of music. I believe they just choose music because they’re genuinely passionate in it. Music isn’t a choice because they’re not good at anything else. Music is a choice because it’s what people enjoy. I don’t mean to be rude, but I believe that most musicians have a great understanding of physics (including projection, which is a part of acoustic physics) and math, and possibly more. Music is their job and a secret talent would be their ability to do math, as it is vice versa for mathematicians and physicists. Take Einstein as an example!! My point is, even the most gifted in math take up music as a profession because they’re passionate in it. Not because they’re too dumb for anything else.
Listening to Hilary Hahn play or speak feels like she’s living her second life. Like she already got a chance to live and make mistakes, and now she’s already learned from those and now she can be herself so freely!
queen makes soup/hot pot in a rice cooker in her dressing room 🥺
She’s a freaking icon
She's extremely beautiful, but I wouldn't even see her as beautiful, because when she starts playing, I close my eyes
Brett and Eddie watch this before bedtime as a treat
What a treasure for humanity she is, and what a great positive she is to my life. Thank you Ms Hahn!!
She seems so hopeful & optimistic. I need that on my life
8:42 she was practicing for the future...
Karin yeah
No wonder she did it so well🤣

“You can always revisit childhood later” this so important!!!
Edit: nvm her whole speech was as impressive and important
Ughhhh her brainnnn

@@jessemoog5310 anything can be taken too far, that’s true enough
