"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." I would not know a better advice for someone, being young, being old. Great speech.

This speech changed my life. I went back to school.. twice! I’m a preschool teacher in an in-demand field and-soon- I will be able to call myself an archaeologist. I wouldn’t have done it without hearing this, first.

He's trying so hard to make things that are so sad, funny. Attempting to mask the difficulties he had to face as a outsider with jokes and self-deprecating lines. Really glad he came out on top today.

@@u.v.s.5583 Ah but wait - Tyrion, by his own account, is 135 cm tall, and by an informal measurement based on shoe size that corresponds to about 6.5 Tyrion feet. A Tyrion foot then is 135/6.5 = 20,7 cm. Let's deduct 3 cm of leather shoe and assume a vanity space of 2 cm. That puts us at 15.7 cm for a Tyrion foot. I find this to be a fairly conservative estimate. Now multiply by ten. By most accounts, that's still a fairly sizeable cock. Still - advertising is everything ...

Another, edited version of this popped up in my recommendations in 2022. After watching it for a few minutes and realizing, the audience was edited out (and there was some music and stock footage edited to what he said) I immediately searched for the original, which I find so much better than the edited stuff. Just raw, unfiltered Peter Dinklage where the connection with the audience is so noticeable and for me that's an integral part of the speech.

But what differs in the end is what you do to make an impact on others to the better. Make a difference from something lower to something higher". Make this world a better place for all.

And people are making comments as far as it not being funny and he's trying to be serious at times and people should not be laughing at everything he is says. It sounds as though everybody is laughing in this video at everything he is saying? Did they have a laugh track? Did they put sound effects into his video you were there. Peace and love hope you will get back to me.

Don't worry it will. Just pay attention to your inner voice. The one that tells you avoid this take that! Even though job 1 has more money & job 2 would be something you love. Believe me, plenty of time for the boring soul sucking job later... Love what you do and it's not working. Point 2, don't get married because it's the "next" step Literally look at your best friend and use that as a template for the marriage. Best friends get past the really bar stuff because it's not as important as the best friend. Hope you're Soaring...

Not only is he a fantastic actor, he's a captivating orator with very poignant things to say.

"You got me..." "Just me, my words" That speech was entertaining, motivational, and real. Former writer's still got it.

I am a 63 year old retired female whose life he is warning against. I never found my rythm. I was always so full of the fear of failing. Much respect to you, Peter Dinklage. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

He's got a great voice.

Interesting part of this for me is that he was afraid to give this speech. Yet he, with the help of friends started. Little by little he put in the time. Kept going. More and more. Didn't stop. No doubt made mistakes, made changes but kept going. Finally found a story he wanted to tell. Made it his own and and had a great time sharing for us all to enjoy and learn from. Thanks Peter. That was a class act.

I’m transferring into Bennington this semester, this speech helps me know I chose the right school. At my old school, finding the resources to do what I loved was an uphill battle. I had the drive, but no support. I’m so glad to be joining this little 750-student community that values collaboration and creativity above all else❤️

"These are the shiny more important people." Respect. "Fail better." That's not a joke.

I'm so touched by this speech. Peter knows what he's talking about, cuz he learned it the hard way.

I used to teach.. whenever I heard someone say "I don't think I can do it", my answer was "If you don't try it at least once, then you will never know if you could". Success and respect are not given, you have to earn them.

How can you not love this guy? (and this speech is almost 10 years old? man)

I often come back to this speech for inspiration whenever I feel like I am not going anywhere in my music career.

I am huge fan of his damn good voice.

I so love Peter. He's a phenomenal actor and so funny! :)

"If a Freshman wanted to write, direct, and star in her own musical, the lights would already be hung for her." The audience didn't react to that - but that one quote says SO MUCH. So very much. "Don't dream it, be it."

"Don't wait for them to tell you that you are ready...get in there!"

I was there! I was a junior at the time (graduated this past June), and Dinklage is awesomely funny in person.

Peter is amazing, he is funny and charming and confident! I also think he is hot, his wife is a lucky woman! He is one of the greatest actors of our time

It gets better every time I watch it.

My favourite of all the commencement speeches online. I have watched/listened to this countless times. It brings me great comfort. Thank you

Thank you for your speech

Thank you for this.

Did not think I would watch that - but I couldn't stop once I started listening.

Afraid for change maybe. That hit home... i learned a lot from this.

just ♥ and kisses peter.. such a great speech!!!

He is truly an amazing speaker!! Worth seeing the entire 28 minutes!

One of the most heartfelt commencement speeches I've ever heard.

This is so so damn true and so beautiful.

Great speech but I kinda wish the gigglers would shut up. This wasn't Stand Up on HBO night. He's lucky to have found his way at 29. Some don't get there until 40's or 50's. Some change direction several times. It's all a journey, nothing wrong with that. I think the worst thing a 20 something can do is to go out in the world thinking they've got it figured out. College isn't life. Too many are going out completely unprepared.

Awesome! Worth every minute!

What a fantastic guy !! What a fantastic human being !! What a fantastic actor !! Thank you for uploading this briliant speech !!

Great speech! Very down to earth.

Beautiful, thank you for sharing = ) 💕

Treat everyone kindly... And light up the night!

Respect Peter !!!!!

An inspiring and motivational speech along with mention of bitter realities, and keeping it all so capturing n entertaining from beginning to end. _PERFECT_

Brilliant speech, and so well delivered!

I love his acting but I love hearing him speak about life, struggles, what matters more. Amazing person ❤️

Very Impressive.. I take his speech to heart.

One of the best actors to ever grace my TV with his presence. This guy is a class act, funny, and has so much talent.

This man is a legend, love him so much.

best commencement i've heard. listened all the way through

Excellent actor, tremendous wit, great raconteur and all-round Epic Genius.

Awesome words by awesome actor. Specially the last line.

I remember him at Bennington @1988 he was in a play they did, he played a writer with his typewriter. I bumped into him in SOHO @ 5-6 years later hey you went to Bennington! he said yes, he knew the girl I was dating there at the time....hes come a long way since congrats Peter! cheers

This is my favourite of all the commencement speeches. I have listened to this at least 50 times by now. I put it on when I need calming down, or when I think nothing is ever going to work out. He is incredibly comforting. Thank you so much Peter Dinklage. A great credit to the school as well. Raise the rest of your life to meet you. Don't tell the world you're ready - Show it.

voice of peter so commanding. his words are true. he never be a burden to his family. that is attitude one has to learn from him. From India

So awesome! Very inspiring.

I have an incredible amount of respect for this man. I bet he has had serious serious struggles to get where he is today. All I can do is to take to heart what he says and learn.
