Matthew McConaughey performs a great commencement speech about his 13 truths of life that we all can apply to our lives now to start living the best life possible. This is especially valuable for those starting off their independent life!
1.) Life’s not easy. Life’s not fair. Do not feel like a victim … and more. 2.) Unbelievable is the stupidest word in the dictionary. We shouldn’t be surprised. 3.) Happiness is the response to an outcome. Joy is constant if we do what we are fashioned to do, regardless of the outcome. 4.) Define success for yourself. 5.) Process of elimination is the first step to our identity. Define yourself as to “who you are not.” 6.) Don’t leave crumbs … regret, guilt or remorse. It’s about delayed gratification. 7.) Dissect your successes and the reciprocity of gratitude. 8.) Make voluntary obligations. He gives five more practical words of advise at 21:15 min.
