Natalie Portma 2015 Harvard Graduation Speech Review

Hot 4396 views. 2016-9-1 20:50 | review

Twelve years after graduation, Natalie Portma came back to Harvard and made the speech. In this speech, she said that she still insures about her worthiness, though she is so successful in other people's eyes.

When she got to Harvard, she fared people would have assumed that she got in just for famous and not worthy of intellectual rigor here. She also thought acting was too frivolous and not meaningful though she had already been acting for 7 years. She came from a family of academics and very concerned of being taken seriously. So she wanted to do something serious and meaningful in Harvard that would change the world. It's obvious that she didn't do well as good as she thought. When she was doing something 'great', friends around her were just writing papers about what they like. It stimulated her and made she aware that it's no need for seriousness for seriousness's sake. She started to seek what she loves. The answer is obvious -- acting. So she began to enjoy acting and try to try everything. After going through a lot of hardness, she felt immune to the worst things anyone could say or write about her.

As we get older, we get more realistic. And we are scared to be imperfect.When we are afraid, we go away. We always pay too much attention for what people think about, which hampers our steps to success

For society, we are newborn, and there are too many beautiful things waiting for us.

Focus on our own business and don’t be disturbed by other people's thoughts.That’s enough.

I totally agree with you, life is short,so does youth. We don't need to waste time on things we are not interested in. We should find out what we really like and chase them bravely
