Jerry Seinfeld Commencement Speech, Duke University #seinfeld

Jerry Seinfeld's "controversial" speech on privilege at Duke University.

The more I hear this guy, the more I respect him, and the more fearful I am for our future, seeing kids, most of whom have never experienced life think they possess more wisdom than Mr. Seinfeld.

When I graduated college I was 50. I'd had a military career, gone through the death of a parent and most all of my aunts and uncles, a divorce, rejection on a massive scale and when I talked to other students who were less than half my age I reminded them--career is a tool, but not an end. I HAD a career already! It was nice, but it ended and I had to deal with me, with the people I associated with. That never changed, but the career ended.
