As someone who is right now sitting in bed, unable to graduate so far because of anxiety, depression, lack of money, family problems, etc. this commencement actually speaks to me on a deeper level.
People from all over the world would like to support you spiritually or in other ways. You may post your depression ,unhappiness on Quora or Facebook, so people can help you.
wow! "It is the greatest irony of my life that losing my husband helped me find deeper gratitude - gratitude for the kindness of my friends, the love of my family, the laughter of my children. My hope for you is that you can find that gratitude - not just on the good days, like today, but on the hard ones, when you will really need it.... Build resilience in yourselves. When tragedy or disappointment strike, know that you have the ability to get through absolutely anything. I promise you do."
Ms. Sandberg has a purpose beyond mother, executive. I am suffering with the loss of my wife. Her words of wisdom bring me some relief. I am sure she is touching many people thanks to UA-cam.

I really love the part of when her friend told her about the conception of things could've been worse, then she realized that she still have healthy children, family and caring friends. And unlike other single mothers or fathers, she's more than capable of dealing with potential financial problem. Always be grateful, and knowing that you're lucky every single night when you sleep in a cozy bed.
Brilliant message about the importance and value of practicing daily gratitude and cultivating resiliency to prepare for life's inevitable adversities and losses.
it's such an unique and different speech from what i've heard yet, it doesn't only tell you about how to solve problems it also expresses the severity of the problems and gives a frank countenance of how hard things can be. i love her. All the love :)
More than ever, I realize the importance of seizing every single moment to tell those you love with all of your heart that you do, cherishing time spent, and showing them love everyday......sending all my love to the small group of cherished people in my life xoox
Beautiful and inspirational speech from an incredibly strong woman that reminds me how important it is to tell the treasured people in your life how much you love them when you have the opportunity ....and that nothing else in life is more important.... I am trusting this is known...xoox
I've watched this twice now and found it to be very heartfelt and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your lessons learned and I hope that you will find many moments of joy going forward!
I am an applicant who's just received lots of waitlists and rejections, this was a dramatically inspiring address that make me realize what 's the most important in my life.
Can't agree more, she only talked about her own story over and over like a little girl. What Steve cared is always about all human race. Not at the same level.
Lynn J Yes I am, maybe you are, too. But the person who speaks in the Berkeley commencement should not be. That is why I tell the difference between between Steve and her.
I love her! She bled for that audience, and was so open and vulnerable. She has always been who I channel when I’m having a difficult time, especially at work… I ask myself what would Sheryl Sandberg do?😅
Sherly you are adorable ! Spectacular Speech , I am delighted to know about 3 P' s and certainly going to adopt it. It's true, Gratitude change our Life . Thank you !!
Ma'am you're amazing....and you really inspire....I heard your commencement speech at Howard and Berkeley side by side....they correspond to two entirely different moments of your life...still you inspire the same...your approach towards life may have changed...but you're strong at that time and you'll always remain strong....you're genuinely a very beautiful person
”…And yet, they are so happy because the last Eid, they were under occupation and suffering. And this Eid, they have nothing but they are free.” -Angelina Jolie
Be grateful every day. Very good. When one is grateful, it's usually in relation to another person, no? She is grateful to her family and friends and rabbi for their support and love. Who is she grateful to that her husband didn't have a cardiac arrhythmia while driving her kids in the car? Who is she grateful to for each breath she takes each moment of every day? You can't be grateful to chance for all the gifts of this life. That doesn't make sense.
1:8-1:10 Could you please tell me, what is meaning of 'with all the hair', 'Man buns'. She said : Back then, people used to say with all the hair, " How do we even tell the men from the women?" Today we know the answer. Man buns. In the dictionary, a bun is kind of hair style, but it doesn't make sense. and 'with all the hair' is that meaning of a lot of hair? I'm studying English from this beautiful and moving commencement speech.
She was attempting to make a joke about how some men with long hair now put their hair up in a little back of head bun which some people think does not look so good. This contrast with males who had long hair in the sixties when other people at that time did not think men should have long hair like females because, as they joked at the time "how can you tell them apart". Thus, five decades later society still opines on appearances. Berkeley has the well-deserved reputation of being open-minded vs. old fashion. I guess I might know, I was there then. I hope this wasn't a confusing explanation for you i.e., "clear as mud". As a side note, it seems during the Free Speech Movement of the sixties the left was protesting because they felt the right was obstructing their 1st Amendment rights. Now the left has flipped it by Antifa preventing the right's right to free speech. How hypocritical, pathetic, ironic, and dangerously sad. The tormented have become the tormentors. And this at Berkeley. Mario Salvio would not approve and is rolling over in his grave. Good luck with your English.
6:45 Everyone who's made it through Cal has already experieced some disappointment. =what is 'cal'?My Rabbi of all people actually told me, and this is a quote, that I should "lean into the suck?"= what is 'lean into the suck'?18:3 Although maybe before you go to kip's and don't remember what they ar.=what is kip's? Please let me know what that mean.
I haven't "studied" Ms. Sandberg but I think it means take on challenges and overcome any adversity in life. Kip's is a popular restaurant for celebration, I believe. I liked Larry Blake's and Top Dog back in the day.
That is an outstanding and monumental speech. Great advice and preparation for young people except when you're young you don't realize how important these lessons are. Live everyday like a gift, the three P's and kick the shit out of option B! Awesome.
No offense. Her speech technique is wonderful, appropriate pauses when messages want to be sent. But can someone explain to me what she talked about besides her husband's death? I try to extract the theme to be "survive is more important than success". But in this society full of welfare and assistant from government, the efforts to survive I don't imagine it to be very high when compared to success...
Help from the outside world is necessary but it is the hope you build up from within that can carry you on and help you find true meaning in life. I think the reason that you can't resonate with Sheryl Sandberg is that you've never been through something like that. Sheryl is changing the world by planting the seed of resilience in us. She is one of the greatest person in our time.
Think about it in a way of hitting "rock bottom." Losing her husband was hitting rock bottom. Getting over it, you can only go up. Main theme was being resilient. That's the shit we need. We don't need some speech saying, you'll be doing this and achieving that. We needed a speech that helps prepare us when things don't go the way we planned.
Missed my own graduation at Cal due to my father's death, but will take this commencement speech as a message meant for me 40 years ago.
love you bro.
You OG bro
It's so grateful that I learned English and could understand this wonderful speech with my own heart.
As someone who is right now sitting in bed, unable to graduate so far because of anxiety, depression, lack of money, family problems, etc. this commencement actually speaks to me on a deeper level.
Stay strong and cheer up.Best wishes from a Chinese.
best wishes from an Indian. I would love to help you. connect with me.
People from all over the world would like to support you spiritually or in other ways. You may post your depression ,unhappiness on Quora or Facebook, so people can help you.
Cheer up! Do not lose your passion. One nice blessing from Germany
wang wang You never ever tell a person suffering from depression to 'cheer up'. It shows you never knew or never went through it yourself.
wow!
"It is the greatest irony of my life that losing my husband helped me find deeper gratitude - gratitude for the kindness of my friends, the love of my family, the laughter of my children. My hope for you is that you can find that gratitude - not just on the good days, like today, but on the hard ones, when you will really need it....
Build resilience in yourselves. When tragedy or disappointment strike, know that you have the ability to get through absolutely anything. I promise you do."
Yes
She breaks down and gets back, and again breaks down, and gets back stronger. those little courages that you have to call PRICELESS.
That's beautiful !❤
Ms. Sandberg has a purpose beyond mother, executive. I am suffering with the loss of my wife. Her words of wisdom bring me some relief. I am sure she is touching many people thanks to UA-cam.
Well Said! ... I lost my daughter who was 13 in 2014 and I too use to celebrate sometimes now I celebrate always and I make sure every day has value.

I’ve watched this speech multiple times as a lifeline while navigating grief. Thank you for your bravery, Sheryl.
I really love the part of when her friend told her about the conception of things could've been worse, then she realized that she still have healthy children, family and caring friends. And unlike other single mothers or fathers, she's more than capable of dealing with potential financial problem. Always be grateful, and knowing that you're lucky every single night when you sleep in a cozy bed.
Brilliant message about the importance and value of practicing daily gratitude and cultivating resiliency to prepare for life's inevitable adversities and losses.
Honestly, I love her speech. It was heartfelt.
我也是
她为弗拉基米尔·普京和习近平联盟做了很多。 她是一位革命英雄！
it's such an unique and different speech from what i've heard yet, it doesn't only tell you about how to solve problems it also expresses the severity of the problems and gives
a frank countenance of how hard things can be. i love her. All the love :)
Every time I feel down, I come across such emotionally strong people & get a breath. Nothing to complain, I'm complete.
"Done is better than perfect."
--Sheryl Sandberg
When life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, find the surface and breath again!
Our loved one who have passed, teach us to live .. The last leasson they leave for us .
it's 2021, and I am watching this video again and crying.
Great Speech!
Lift each other up
Help each other kick the shit out of option B
And celebrate every moment of joy
Beautifully Human! Thank you Sheryl Sandberg
I need to hear this at least twice. Really inspirational.
More than ever, I realize the importance of seizing every single moment to tell those you love with all of your heart that you do, cherishing time spent, and showing them love everyday......sending all my love to the small group of cherished people in my life xoox

She is truly a fantastic woman.. It is just difficult emotionally to watch this speech...
I watched this video the day my high school results were announced and it really helps.
Such an inspiring speech, such an inspiring woman

"hardest by me for far" 13:35

Great speech. But no one came close to Steve's speech yet.

Can't agree more, she only talked about her own story over and over like a little girl. What Steve cared is always about all human race. Not at the same level.
+Nan Deng we are all littel human being
Lynn J Yes I am, maybe you are, too. But the person who speaks in the Berkeley commencement should not be. That is why I tell the difference between between Steve and her.
everyone is diff and their stories r diff...u cant compare the speeches of 2 completely diff yet powerful people

”…And yet, they are so happy because the last Eid, they were under occupation and suffering. And this Eid, they have nothing but they are free.” -Angelina Jolie
I love the fact that she stops in the middle of her speech and drinks her water. Like YES GURLLLL STAY HYDRATED!
My son will be the first to graduate from Berkeley university may 2022 I am so proud of him 😭🙏
Be grateful every day. Very good. When one is grateful, it's usually in relation to another person, no? She is grateful to her family and friends and rabbi for their support and love.

Thank you Sheryl ❤️ I wasn't at the graduation back then but much ❤️ from China today
Felicidades querido sobrino Fernando Cossio Káiser, a seguir adelante desde Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia
Excellent! Worth taking the time to listen to this. Unusual and so moving.
I like this video!
Amazing speech!
I like it very much! It could courage alot including myself.
This is so inspiring.
To the people who so quickly left "thumb downs": while you have every right for descent, you just completely missed the boat!
A Estes that's OK! go on spewing your pervasive hate! you're certainly entitled...
This is a great and inspirational speech
Julien Brun
This speech has some very good points but I am not 100 % sure it was very appropriate for the event. Too much about her and her grief.
Well, she sure is not lacking in ego and self-esteem.
1:8-1:10 Could you please tell me, what is meaning of 'with all the hair', 'Man buns'. She said : Back then, people used to say with all the hair, " How do we even tell the men from the women?"
