  • Not one of my typical vids, but something I've been wanting to say.
    I've always gotten a lot of requests to speak at high school and college graduations but have always declined... I don't expect to be getting many more requests after this.

      ikr, especially the part where "don't let the societies definition of success defines your goals and dream" . . . And so on... like for real man, we study, goes to school, we stressed a lot cuz of assignments and projects especially in high school.... and their are dick teachers also, and then when we graduate it feels like you're not satisfied cuz you gotta find a job to secure your self and your future then the cycle repeats for itself... life sucks... this whole school system sucks.... and you'll be even more stressed in your job.... wakes up early.... never gets a good sleep, went home miserable....
      Life is a beautiful lie
      When I die that's the time I will be happy.... death is just a hurtful truth.

This is why I still watch you after all of these years. Stay awesome Ryan!

      You'll never know what you really want to be doing, or what will really make you happy until you're stuck doing what you really hate. For me I use to think music would always be a hobby, until I was stuck at my shit show of a job (making decent money) and every waking second I spent there all I could think about was music production, it all became clear where my time should be spent.

    • @rockrulezkid123
      @rockrulezkid123 6 лет назад +5

      The real question is what if nothing in your life makes you happy, no "game" that really sucks your attention. This video got me in real deep thought as well, I'm just restarting my journey of schooling and I question myself everyday whether or not this is what I want to dedicate my life doing. Maybe I'm too deep of thought, curious to hear replies.

  • @newta5208
    @newta5208 4 года назад +653

    I doubt he will ever see this but I first dicovered Ryan when I was about 11 and he's really shaped my teenage years and growing up so far, and I think will go on to influence my later life. I've never related to someone as much, I love how he is realistic and honest to the point where he's putting himself "in danger" of being seen as offensive. His videos have such high quality with so many detailed jokes everywhere that leave me wheezing even the fifteenth tlme I'm watching a video. I honestly feel so much better when I watch his videos and as I've grown up the last few years I've realised he's my role model. I want someone like him in my life, someone with humor and passion for his work and who's realistic without being depressing. The quality, comedic genius and honest lessons and ideas he's showed me have actually helped me put things into perspective a lot of times as well as act as an instant mood lifter. I'm so grateful that I can come home from school and his videos will be waiting for me. His videos feel like home to me. A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart to Ryan and the whole RHPC (!!!!!!), I don't think there's a word meaningful enough to describe what you've done for me.

  • @feelslikeflying23
    @feelslikeflying23 6 лет назад +1958

    Can we all just appreciate the amount of effort and thinking Ryan puts in his videos, and how he acts like he doesn’t care or he’s not good with something at the end of each one and humbling himself 😭 This video itself is truly touching as I’m about to graduate and I have all these ideals and standards in my head and sometimes I just forget to sit back and think about my happiness in the future. Thank you, Ryan!

      That's because Ryan is always trying to make original content, and he's okay with being himself. Not too many people are doing that, so his channel attracts a lot of followers because it's the only one of its kind.

    Looking back at this video. Ryan, basically, says the meaning is to be happy on the journey. If you see Ryan’s behind the scenes videos, Ryan and his team are always laughing and having fun when they record. They tend to have more fun recording the shoots then when they are finished with it. When he finishes the video, he doesn’t get that many views compared to what he deserves, but it doesn’t bother him because he is having fun recording and going to shoots with his friends. Like he said, you shouldn’t beat a video game because you just want to win, you play a game to enjoy the journey of it. He keeps recording because he has fun making his videos and it doesn’t matter how well it does.

    That was, honestly, the greatest speech I have ever known. Some may be inspirational, but yours is VERY different, they keep saying to reach your goals, and dreams, while you would say that we can always fail, and we would keep trying. But once we keep trying, we would get stressed, and our happiness won't remain in our life. I really enjoyed this, thank you for that.

      MySpecialShack Exacrly, But the end goal/point is when your on your deathbed about to die. And if you kept living life thinking “oh with the next thing I’ll be happier” and “oh I’m just not there yet” you’ll be missing out on all the moments where you could have been doing things you enjoy. Where you could have allowed yourself to be happy. So when you die, instead of being happy & content with your life, you’ll have regrets. “Why didn’t I do this or that?” And “Why am I still not happy?” And that’s the message. And it’s super fricking true & very beautiful.

    *Some of us don't have nuts*
    We can't all be astronauts. Someone has to make the fries. And someone else has to grown the potatoes.
    That's how the world works.
    Ryan Higa is the first person I've ever heard encourage young ppl to figure out what their purpose in life is without trying to TELL them what it should be.

      No. No show. All RUclipsrs that venture off into tv, become less popular and more dumb and I hate it. Ryan will stay king yt because I grew up watching this channel for 9 years and it is a solid part of my life. No show.

    That was better than any “actual” grad speech. This taught us the meaning of life, how to enjoy yourself, and not to achieve goals just because you think you’ll be happy when they’ve been achieved. While using similes we understand. Instead of that garbage about “aCheivE yoUr DreAms! thANkS For COMInG!”
