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.
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!
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 :)
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
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 RUclipsr 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!
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.
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.
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💜.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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.)
Mark, your MIT commencement speech was amazing! Your words of wisdom and inspiring message will have a lasting impact. Congratulations on a remarkable achievement!
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 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.
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).
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.
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.
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 ❤)
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.
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.

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! ❤ ❤ ❤
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.
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 :)
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!
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 🍾🎈🎉🎊
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! 🎉
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ;))
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 RUclips 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.
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.
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.
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 RUclips 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.
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.
Wonderful, thoughtful and emotional commencement speech Mark. Also to bring your mom into the picture, a lovely tribute. Well done! Bernie, Sydney Australia.
Hello Mark, you probably wont see this but im graduating from Highschool today. I've been waiting for this day since i entered the 9th grade and you and your videos have been with me since 8th grade. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such interesting and entertaining videos. I'm not trying to become an engineer but seeing your videos and the way you build things light up my natural curiosity. You're the best and thank you
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!
This was an amazing speech that everyone can take into consideration, no matter what age. You are genuinely so cool for doing this, and I’m sure all of the students think so too!

Perfection is only made when you can see the pureness of what his words really meant. Awesome job, Mark Rober.
Rober's speech is inspiring and motivating. It is a reminder that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.
it is made by gpt he said😂
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 :)
That was an AMAZING SPEECH
U didn’t speak on same stage as him lmao. Nice try
@@RobloxHacksForMacmy brother her speech is literally uploaded on her channel
@@RobloxHacksForMac cant wait to see this reply to a comment from a mark rober video in an emkay r/confidentlyincorrect video lmao
🎉 Mark thank you for being so humble, and posting this speech, it was uplifting 🎉
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!
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 🍾🎈🎉🎊
4:35 that gave me goose bumps. I can’t even express the beauty in that moment and the nostalgia that went through me.
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! 🎉
1:56 isnt it written by ai

@@sanyamshah9111 I’m pretty sure he’s joking hahahaha
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.
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.
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.
It’s so nice to see Mark getting the recognition he deserves!
We need teachers like you
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.
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.
The comments on your videos are always nothing but positivity. I absolute adore this. You are a genuine and amazing person.
This is great advise for anyone really not just people from MIT!

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)

No, it's actually not IA nor AI@@matheussilvaunknownperfil6334
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.
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!
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 Mark I loved it! As someone currently in college this really hit me and it was very inspirational.
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 ;))
That was incredible and the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard! Loved your values and encouragement! Thank you for spreading joy!
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 RUclips 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.
Amazing speech!!! Please, never lose that genuine authenticity
I couldn't think of a more deserving person to give this speech. Congratulations Mark!
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
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.
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 RUclips 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
Mark is ALWAYS so kind to people it’s nice having people like him around
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.
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.
Wonderful, thoughtful and emotional commencement speech Mark. Also to bring your mom into the picture, a lovely tribute. Well done!

Hello Mark, you probably wont see this but im graduating from Highschool today. I've been waiting for this day since i entered the 9th grade and you and your videos have been with me since 8th grade. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such interesting and entertaining videos. I'm not trying to become an engineer but seeing your videos and the way you build things light up my natural curiosity. You're the best and thank you
Congratulations! I hope your future is bright and full of joy and wonder!
This guy puts so much work into all his videos! He never fails to amaze me!
Greatest speech I ever heard❤
I’m 31. This speech still applies to me.
Thank you for inspiring everyone ❤

Absolutely brilliant. This guy is on track change the world. Hooray for Mark Rober!
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!
Listening to your speech was the most fun part of my day!!!
This was an amazing speech that everyone can take into consideration, no matter what age. You are genuinely so cool for doing this, and I’m sure all of the students think so too!
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 was amazing to watch from the audience. Thanks Mark for making the end of my undergrad experience special :)
Goosebumps With the Music 🎀
