Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey's 2014 commencement speech at the Maharishi University of Management mixes physical comedy with a story about his father, a talented musician who took a safe accounting job and was laid off anyway. His conclusion, that you can fail at what you don't want so you might as well take a chance on what you love, is widely quoted. The setting and his spiritual asides will not suit everyone, but the central story is unforgettable.
