Imagine this, you live in the 2000s and you don't need to make a physical invention, discovery or produce something new to make yourself stand out, you review the product and upload videos to TH-cam and people find you successful.
It’s extremely common that successful alumni come back to give a speech and receive an honorary PhD? I feel like a lot of the time the people chosen are less famous than MKBHD.
Congrats to you Marques and all the best to you. Great speech. Time does fly very quickly. It’s funny - I worked in engineering and IT for 25 years and then became a professor of engineering for 15. I recently retired. In some ways, it seemed as though certain things in life took FOREVER to happen, yet looking back, it feels like such a short short time. When. I was getting my Masters I nearly quit because it was taking too long and taking up too much time. I went to the Dean and told him I was going to drop out. He reached under his desk and brought out a very large stack of paper. I asked him what that was. He told me that these were students who started but dropped out. He told me that 5 years from now you’ll look back at now and realize that 5 years has passed whether or not you do your degree. You can decide now to continue and in 5 years you’ll be glad you did. I stuck with it and later went on to get my PhD. It was a lot of work but it allowed me to do things in life that would not have been possible had I not kept going. To all those who are graduating in 2024 - congrats! To those struggling or thinking of stopping - remember that in 5 years you’ll be 5 years older independent of your choice. Time does fly when you look back at life. Marques is right, too about passion. I worked in electrical and computer engineering, starting when personal computers were just getting started. (I am the same age as Bill Gates and the same age that Steve Jobs would have been). I was always passionate about computers and technology. It was and is my hobby. I also made it my career. It’s much easier to make a career out of something you deeply care about. Find your passion.
As a Stevens student who graduated yesterday and saw the speech live, you killed it man. And as a fellow Stevens Ultimate Frisbee alum, it was awesome to see the highlights in your intro video. Ducks fly together 🦆
Funny enough my physics professor did a speech an he did not hold back he straight used chatgpt and said he used chatgpt 😂. It went like "im to lazy to write a speech so here something chatgpt wrote"
In a world where LLM is widely used, it reminds them of something. I love that part when I ask ChatGPT about MK income. hahahahahahahahaha "As a Large Language Model, I can't provide MK income " hahahah
@@imaginesagiLOL I was a small kid when College Droupout and Late Registration released and I still listen to them sometimes. I also play my old PS1 games every once in a while even though I was a toddler when the console was discontinued around 2004~2005
I genuinely thought he’ll start the speech with,” hey guys MKBHD here… I have been daily driving this degree program from last 2 weeks. Let me tell you all about it “ 😂
I just graduated from the school of engineering. You were one of the reasons that i chose Stevens years ago and 4 years later you gave my commencement speech. Everything really come full circle. Thanks for being the launchpad into my career of computer engineering!
Having Marques as my commencement speaker was really amazing, the speech felt relevant and inspiring. Now I have my graduation memorialized on his channel. Go Ducks!
I'm proud of you, big dog. I've been watching you since you were a young bright eyed young man and now to see you as a grown man making a change? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Absolutely proud.
well said, I love how he was himself the whole time, not acting supper wise, or supper educated. He got his point across like a pro while telling everyone that he isn't one. Remarkable!
I am a current Stevens senior and grew up watching your videos. I saw your speech yesterday at the graduation and to say you are an inspiration for me and millions of others is an understatement. You did a great job on the speech and inspire me to do much more after I graduate next year. Thank you MKBHD, and congrats on the honorary doctorate! P.S. I loved the ChatGPT joke!
@@thomasthetrain2224 Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and try to make friends as best as you can! Everyone says clubs are the best way, but they didn’t really work out for me since I never really went thru with them and the clubs are pretty small at Stevens, but def try to join some because you never know. I met one of my best friends at Stevens by just coming up to him and asking him for help on some calculus homework since I remember he was in my class, and we’ve been great friends since. Other than that, enjoy your college experience, don’t go too hard on yourself, qnd prioritize studying but also going out with friends and doing things you enjoy. You will have a lot of free time and you’re only young once, so make sure you try new things to discover what you really like and dislike :)
Magnificent speech Marques. I love your authenticity, which something that everyone can identify and appreciate more than anything else. That is what made you successful and what transferred to the graduates, and your viewers. You will have to change your channel to MKBPhD.
"You graduate many times as a person..." Love this so much! Especially coming from someone who actually graduated like a lifetime ago. Very inspirational. Thank you and Congrats Doc!
Congratulations Dr. Brownlee! All your friends, aunties, uncles and associates out here in cyberland are thrilled. Your parents must be glowing. What an honor...you deserve it...well earned!!
Is this sarcasm? Honorary doctorates don't generally call themselves "dr". In fact, it's arguably unethical, because people think you actually completed a doctorate, which they didn't.
@@BadMannerKorea Not sarcasm at all. In my book he's as deserving as an honorary title even if it's not acceptable. He is much respected by millions. LOL you sound somewhat jealous...but that is understandable with your 27 subscribers vs. his 18.9 MILLION!! Just congratulate him..be a good sport and enjoy his success.
@@spoly8139 You called him doctor, and I corrected you. Honorary doctorates don’t generally call themselves doctor. Correcting you doesn’t have anything to do with jealousy, but I know you want it to be about that.
9 years ago what a number. Very inspirational and you did great! I’m proud to say that this year I am part of the class of 2024, and getting ready to graduate at the end of the month!
Great advice here. Purpose is one the best things that few people truly find. When one finds it something is unlocked and magic happens. thanks for sharing and congratulations MKPhD!
So true... Focus on your passion. Focus on what exites you. Sometimes "THE TRUE" passion can be overlooked as just something you like a lot. And as something that might be out of reach/impossible. Take note of those subtle things that excite you, cuz it's easy to get distracted when work (a job) begins to point you away with it's own shiny things.
Your delivery was so smooth, so genuine. I truly felt what you said came from your heart and not some speech that someone told you that you had to deliver. Impressive. Well done!
In the age of Teleprompters, Marques chose to read his speech off the Paper. This proves that he's the Greatest Tech Reviewer on the Planet. Congratulations MKBHD.
This is so cool I graduated today like I just submitted the Final Film Project and then my teachers said congrats boi its your big day you just graduated! :V felt nice! :D haven't felt like this in a very long time. Thank you, Marques. Those were some nice thoughts! :D Let's go!
1000% agree getting into something that excites you. I was a freelance photographer, doing music photography - touring with artists and I've photographed some amazing things and people. However, I got into astronomy and astrophotography.... and now 6 years later, I still stay up really late getting cold, however, that has now become my most successful career path because I truly love it. I feel really connected and in control of what I do, it's so much more enjoyable and that's how I've managed to keep it up. It's been the best decision I made... to follow the path that you enjoy and care about.
Congratulations! I feel like I just started watching your videos but it’s been years now. 2016. And you’re an inspiration to me and I know you are to a lot of other people. Keep doing you. And keep levelling up! MKPHD!
Congratulations! Proud of you, you have become a role model and inspiration for many many people around the world. Yui deserve the best. Amazing speech!
Pretty inspiring MKPHD! This is so relevant and timely for me, because I was invited to be a commencement speaker on my high school Alma Mater. It eased up the tension and anxiety I have been feeling for quite a time now. Thank you so much!
"You have all these tools, but purpose is also a tool. And to me i feel like it's the most powerful one" That hits hard man, if you would've told me that years ago i wouldn't be jobless rn
As your contemporary (also graduating 9 years ago) and watching you since then-while we were both in school haha-time eclipses us in the blink of an eye.... Despite all the chaos and negativity in the world, we become jaded and clouded by all the noise. In these trying times, this lived and tried advice to find your passion, is truly a beacon of light and offers hope in guiding others towards finding their place through passion. I too will continue to look forward to many graduations. Thank you, Marques!
Mkphd, that was truly inspirational my friend. You know you are successful when alma mater to come back to school and give a commencement speech. Congratulations Marquez, you are truly the man!!!!! 👍🏾😁👈🏾
Congratulations! I started watching your videos when you were still in college, filming out of your dorm. I was in high school and your review of the ATH-M50s got me to buy them. I still have them! I just graduated from a masters program, and what you say about having direction through purpose resonates with me. I hope you continue to graduate into a meaningful and exciting life. Every graduation is a new beginning, too!
Marques you'll probably never see this but im 33 with 6 and 4 year kids. I had lost my passion to work in tech after getting a degree at ITT Tech. I had felt like a failure not having a "real degree" after graduating 11 years ago. But you and my family inspired me to pick my head back up and get back in the game. I now can say i am cyber security network technician. Thank you Marques for the non stop grind. You touch more lives than you realize.

It's honorary bro. He cannot use the title Dr. , nor is he a doctor. It will only go in his CV as Extra award
Fair enough. Thanks for correction. All gud.
