Official Commencement Address Graduating Class of 2014 from Maharishi University of Management, May 24th, 2014 by Jim Carrey

Thank you Bevan, thank you all!

I brought one of my paintings to show you today.Hope you guys are gonna be able see it okay.It’s not one of my bigger pieces.You might wanna move down front — to get a good look at it.(kidding)

Faculty, Parents, Friends, Dignitaries...Graduating Class of 2014, and all the dead baseball players coming out of the corn to be with us today.(laughter)After the harvest there’s no place to hide — the fields are empty — there is no cover there!(laughter)

I am here to plant a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic hearts and a clear sense of wholeness.The question is, will that seed have a chance to take root, or will I be sued by Monsanto and forced to use their seed, which may not be totally “Ayurvedic.”(laughter)

Excuse me if I seem a little low energy tonight — today — whatever this is.I slept with my head to the North last night.(laughter)Oh man!Oh man!You know how that is, right kids? Woke up right in the middle of Pitta and couldn’t get back to sleep till Vata rolled around, but I didn’t freak out.I used that time to eat a large meal and connect with someone special on Tinder.(laughter)

Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.How do I know this? I don’t, but I’m making sound, and that’s the important thing.That’s what I’m here to do.Sometimes, I think that’s one of the only things that are important.Just letting each other know we’re here, reminding each other that we are part of a larger self.I used to think Jim Carrey is all that I was...Just a flickering light

A dancing shadow

The great nothing masquerading as something you can name

Dwelling in forts and castles made of witches – wishes!Sorry, a Freudian slip there

Seeking shelter in caves and foxholes, dug out hastily

An archer searching for his target in the mirror

Wounded only by my own arrows

Begging to be enslaved

Pleading for my chains

Blinded by longing and tripping over paradise – can I get an “Amen”?!(applause)

You didn’t think I could be serious did ya’? I don't think you understand who you're dealing with!I have no limits!I cannot be contained because I’m the container.You can’t contain the container, man!You can’t contain the container!(laughter)

I used to believe that who I was ended at the edge of my skin, that I had been given this little vehicle called a body from which to experience creation, and though I couldn’t have asked for a sportier model,(laughter)it was after all a loaner and would have to be returned.Then, I learned that everything outside the vehicle was a part of me, too, and now I drive a convertible.Top down wind in my hair!(laughter)

I am elated and truly, truly, truly excited to be present and fully connected to you at this important moment in your journey.I hope you’re ready to open the roof and take it all in?!(audience doesn’t react)Okay, four more years then!(laughter)

I want to thank the Trustees, Administrators and Faculty of MUM for creating an institution worthy of Maharishi’s ideals of education.A place that teaches the knowledge and experience necessary to be productive in life, as well as enabling the students, through Transcendental Meditation and ancient Vedic knowledge to slack off twice a day for an hour and a half！(laughter)— don’t think you’re fooling me！!—(applause)but, I guess it has some benefits.It does allow you to separate who you truly are and what’s real, from the stories that run through your head.You have given them the ability to walk behind the mind’s elaborate set decoration, and to see that there is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and an actual dog that’s going to eat you.(laughter)That may sound like no big deal, but many never learn that distinction and spend a great deal of their lives living in fight or flight response.I’d like to acknowledge all you wonderful parents — way to go for the fantastic job you’ve done — for your tireless dedication, your love, your support, and most of all, for the attention you’ve paid to your children.I have a saying, “Beware the unloved,” because they will eventually hurt themselves...or me!(laughter)

But when I look at this group here today, I feel really safe!I do!I’m just going to say it — my room is not locked!My room is not locked!(laughter)No doubt some of you will turn out to be crooks!But white-collar stuff — Wall St.ya’ know, that type of thing — crimes committed by people with self-esteem!Stuff a parent can still be proud of in a weird way.(laughter)

And to the graduating class of 2017 — minus 3!You didn't let me finish!(laughter)— Congratulations!(applause)Yes, give yourselves a round of applause, please.You are the vanguard of knowledge and consciousness;a new wave in a vast ocean of possibilities.On the other side of that door, there is a world starving for new leadership, new ideas.I’ve been out there for 30 years!She’s a wild cat!(laughter)Oh, she’ll rub up against your leg and purr until you pick her up and start pettin’ her, and out of nowhere she’ll swat you in the face.Sure it’s rough sometimes but that’s OK, ‘cause they’ve got soft serve ice cream with sprinkles!(laughter)I guess that’s what I’m really here to say;sometimes it’s okay to eat your feelings!(laughter)

Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about your pathway to the future, but all there will ever be is what’s happening here, and the decisions we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear.So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.What we really want seems impossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it.I’m saying, I’m the proof that you can ask the universe for it — please!(applause)And if it doesn't happen for you right away, it’s only because the universe is so busy fulfilling my order.It’s party size!(laughter)

My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn’t believe that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice.Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant, and when I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we could to survive.I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.(applause)

That’s not the only thing he taught me though: I watched the affect my father’s love and humor had on the world around me, and I thought, “That’s something to do, that’s something worth my time.”

It wasn’t long before I started acting up.People would come over to my house and they would be greeted by a 7 year old throwing himself down a large flight of stairs.(laughter)They would say, “What happened?” And I would say, “I don't know — let’s check the replay.” And I would go back to the top of the stairs and come back down in slow motion.(Jim reenacts coming down the stairs in slow-mo)It was a very strange household.(laughter)

My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham — I was the whole pig.And he treated my talent as if it was his second chance.When I was about 28, after a decade as a professional comedian, I realized one night in LA that the purpose of my life had always been to free people from concern, like my dad.When I realized this, I dubbed my new devotion, “The Church of Freedom From Concern” — “The Church of FFC”— and I dedicated myself to that ministry.What’s yours? How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide? That’s all you have to figure out.As someone who has done what you are about to go do, I can tell you from experience, the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is.(applause)

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.My choosing to free people from concern got me to the top of a mountain.Look where I am — look what I get to do!Everywhere I go – and I’m going to get emotional because when I tap into this, it really is extraordinary to me — I did something that makes people present their best selves to me wherever I go.(applause)I am at the top of the mountain and the only one I hadn’t freed was myself and that’s when my search for identity deepened.I wondered who I’d be without my fame.Who would I be if I said things that people didn’t want to hear, or if I defied their expectations of me? What if I showed up to the party without my Mardi Gras mask and I refused to flash my breasts for a handful of beads?(laughter)I’ll give you a moment to wipe that image out of your mind.(laughter)

But you guys are way ahead of the game.You already know who you are and that peace, that peace that we’re after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others, beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself.You can join the game, fight the wars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall.Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world.Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form.Risk being seen in all of your glory.(A sheet drops and reveals Jim’s painting.Applause.)

(Re: the painting)It’s not big enough!(kidding)This painting is big for a reason.This painting is called “High Visibility.”(laughter)It’s about picking up the light and daring to be seen.Here’s the tricky part.Everyone is attracted to the light.The party host up in the corner(refers to painting)who thinks unconsciousness is bliss and is always offering a drink from the bottles that empty you;Misery, below her, who despises the light — can’t stand when you’re doing well — and wishes you nothing but the worst;The Queen of Diamonds who needs a King to build her house of cards;And the Hollow One, who clings to your leg and begs, “Please don’t leave me behind for I have abandoned myself.”

Even those who are closest to you and most in love with you;the people you love most in the world can find clarity confronting at times.This painting took me thousands of hours to complete and —(applause)thank you — yes, thousands of hours that I’ll never get back, I’ll never get them back(kidding)— I worked on this for so long, for weeks and weeks, like a mad man alone on a scaffolding — and when I was finished one of my friends said, “This would be a cool black light painting.”(laughter)

So I started over.(All the lights go off in the Dome and the painting is showered with black light.)Whooooo!Welcome to Burning Man!(applause)Some pretty crazy characters right? Better up there than in here.(points to head)Painting is one of the ways I free myself from concern, a way to stop the world through total mental, spiritual and physical involvement.But even with that, comes a feeling of divine dissatisfaction.Because ultimately, we’re not the avatars we create.We’re not the pictures on the film stock.We are the light that shines through it.All else is just smoke and mirrors.Distracting, but not truly compelling.I’ve often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion.Like many of you, I was concerned about going out in the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself!(laughter)My soul is not contained within the limits of my body.My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul — one unified field of nothing dancing for no particular reason, except maybe to comfort and entertain itself.(applause)As that shift happens in you, you won’t be feeling the world you’ll be felt by it — you will be embraced by it.Now, I’m always at the beginning.I have a reset button called presence and I ride that button constantly.Once that button is functional in your life, there’s no story the mind could create that will be as compelling.The imagination is always manufacturing scenarios — both good and bad — and the ego tries to keep you trapped in the multiplex of the mind.Our eyes are not only viewers, but also projectors that are running a second story over the picture we see in front of us all the time.Fear is writing that script and the working title is, ‘I’ll never be enough.’

You look at a person like me and say,(kidding)“How could we ever hope to reach those kinds of heights, Jim? How can I make a painting that's too big for any reasonable home? How do you fly so high without a special breathing apparatus?”(laughter)

This is the voice of your ego.If you listen to it, there will always be someone who seems to be doing better than you.No matter what you gain, ego will not let you rest.It will tell you that you cannot stop until you’ve left an indelible mark on the earth, until you’ve achieved immortality.How tricky is the ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something we already possess.So I just want you to relax—that’s my job—relax and dream up a good life!(applause)I had a substitute teacher from Ireland in the second grade that told my class during Morning Prayer that when she wants something, anything at all, she prays for it, and promises something in return and she always gets it.I’m sitting at the back of the classroom, thinking that my family can’t afford a bike, so I went home and I prayed for one, and promised I would recite the rosary every night in exchange.Broke it—broke that promise.(laughter)

Two weeks later, I got home from school to find a brand new mustang bike with a banana seat and easy rider handlebars — from fool to cool!My family informed me that I had won the bike in a raffle that a friend of mine had entered my name in, without my knowledge.That type of thing has been happening ever since, and as far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and working toward it while letting go of how it might come to pass.(applause)

Your job is not to figure out how it’s going to happen for you, but to open the door in your head and when the doors open in real life, just walk through it.Don’t worry if you miss your cue.There will always be another door opening.They keep opening.And when I say, “l(fā)ife doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.” I really don’t know if that’s true.I’m just making a conscious choice to perceive challenges as something beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way.You’ll come up with your own style, that’s part of the fun!

Oh, and why not take a chance on faith as well? Take a chance on faith — not religion, but faith.Not hope, but faith.I don’t believe in hope.Hope is a beggar.Hope walks through the fire.Faith leaps over it.You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world and after you walk through those doors today, you will only ever have two choices: love or fear.Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.Thank you.Jai Guru Dev.I’m so honored.Thank you.

第二篇：珍惜所愛

珍 惜 所 愛

推開臥室的窗戶，初春的陽光灑滿房間，我迫不及待地向陽臺走去，想看一看那盆海棠，想象它們發(fā)出嫩芽生機(jī)勃勃的樣子?？墒茄矍暗囊磺辛钗殷@呆了——海棠的枝葉像霜打的茄子一樣，往日翠綠的葉子變成了青紫色，籠上了一層死亡的云霧。

我才驀然想起，這個冬天我都悶在屋里，陽臺上竟沒有去過一次，因為屋子里有空調(diào)、腳爐整天開著，像春天一樣愜意。而海棠卻獨自在寒冬中立著，不知道它有沒有哭泣？我不知道它度過了多少寒冷的冬夜，我甚至沒有給我最愛的這盆花澆過一次水，我只是自私地欣賞花開帶來的愜意，卻又在寒冬里獨自享受著溫暖。

海棠的死去，是在春季即將到來的時節(jié)！生活中這樣的憾事經(jīng)常發(fā)生著。

小學(xué)時候的我，個頭幾乎只有同齡人的四分之三，而且是一個喜歡惡作劇的調(diào)皮人，我的七十七個同學(xué)都受過我的作弄，但也從沒有同學(xué)因為這個跟我翻臉過，我理所當(dāng)然的享受著這種待遇——他們都是善良人。

轉(zhuǎn)眼已是初二，隨著課業(yè)的加重，我漸漸忘記了以前的同學(xué)，我的眼睛里只有課本、成績。直到那天我在公交車上看見我的小學(xué)同學(xué)。她是個高高的女生，戴著眼鏡，跟父母站在一起，背著行李包，像要出遠(yuǎn)門的樣子。她沖我揮揮手，我不知所措地把手舉起來，半晌才從記憶中搜尋出她的名字，隨即想起她的善良與友好。我從窗戶向外望去時，車開走了，她的身影慢慢化成一個小點。我的心里一陣惆悵，之前我就聽說，她要去外地上學(xué)了，但我沒當(dāng)回事，竟沒有跟她道個別。

此時的一別，也許是今生最后的相見。直到此時，才感到了友情的可貴！

還有我小學(xué)時的語文老師，她現(xiàn)已退休，我們是她的最后一屆學(xué)生，所以幾年來，她將所有對學(xué)生的愛都集中在我們身上。五年級時她退休了，跟加拿大的女兒一起生活。臨出國前，她給我們看她寫的文章，給我們她的博客和博客的密碼，給我們?nèi)嗤瑢W(xué)留言。

可我，竟將記著博客及密碼的紙弄丟了，老師成了我的回憶。那天偶然想起老師，我的淚水流了下來，因為我五年級時似乎沒有以前認(rèn)真，作為她最喜歡的學(xué)生，我的作文也大不如前，我是直到初一才開始醒悟。歲月帶走了過去，留下的只有回憶，只有回憶……

珍惜生命中所愛的——同學(xué)、老師、父母，向?qū)Υ患囆g(shù)品，小心地將他們珍藏。

珍惜生命中正擁有的，別讓未來留下遺憾！

第三篇：《一生所愛》讀后感

第一次看這篇文章，是在他的博客中，《一生所愛》讀后感。當(dāng)時，覺得這是一篇很有深度的文章，第一次對他另眼相待，第一次覺得原來他還有這么深刻的感悟。所以，有時候，我覺得，我們兩人的緣分是從這篇文章開始的。。。

從小就不愛看周星馳，但是，唯有《大話西游》這部電影，每每我完整看完后，都會忍不住流淚。心中的那種難過，那種酸楚，難以言表，但是，《一生所愛》這篇文章將我難以言表的感情描繪得深刻，描繪了透徹。那一句：愛情是一個宿命，一切源于上蒼。讓我相信宿命。

后來，才知道。這篇文章不過是他轉(zhuǎn)載的文章。這是他喜歡的時寒冰的博客。但是，因為這篇文章，我偶爾會關(guān)注他的博客。

剛剛跟他在一起的時候，我或許還不是真的喜歡他，我總愛在朋友面前挑剔他，抱怨他。我總是對他有很多的不滿意。我總覺得我的意中人也應(yīng)該是個蓋世英雄。不是他這樣的平庸，這樣的平凡。

他總愛與我開玩笑，所以我有時不知道他哪句話是真哪句是假。他說他對我是一見鐘情，他說我是他夢中的女孩，其實我當(dāng)時不信。因為我從來就不相信人世間會有一見鐘情。

嫁給他，是我今生最幸福的選擇，讀后感《《一生所愛》讀后感》。雖然他不夠浪漫，雖然他不夠富裕，雖然他不夠英俊，雖然他不夠。。。

他總在我最需要的時候，守候在我身邊。曾經(jīng)我遇到過一個人，我原本以為我可以托付終生，但是，我錯了。那個人只不過喜歡開朗，快樂的我，在我不省人事的時候，那個人不過躲得遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)的。但是，我并不責(zé)怪那個人，畢竟我們都曾有過逃避生命，拒絕成長的時候。

在別人眼里我不可理喻的時候，只有他，依然把我當(dāng)作他的天使，他的公主。我生病的時候，他愿意在身旁照顧我，伺候我，愿意幫我煎藥，幫我倒水。在我想不通的時候，只有他，不厭其煩地逗我開心。

故事里的事，有時說是就是，不是也是；故事里的事，有時說不是就不是，是也不是。所以，我愿意相信我們故事里所有美麗的部分。

讓我們將《一生所愛》中的悲劇改寫。我們將會譜寫我們的幸福故事。五月，我將成為你美麗的新娘。

相信我也將成為你今生最幸福的選擇。

I LOVE YOU , DUANDUAN.Kathy.G

第四篇：(原創(chuàng))選擇我所愛的,愛我所選擇的——學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)發(fā)展觀的心得體會

（原創(chuàng)）選擇我所愛的，愛我所選擇的——學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)發(fā)展觀的心得體會

天堂之地，水鄉(xiāng)之里，自從選擇你作為我準(zhǔn)備傾其一生學(xué)習(xí)和生活的地方，我便一直堅定我的選擇。不懈的拼搏之后，是春華秋實的回報，我終于如愿以償，來到了這座歷史悠久的文化名城——蘇州；邁進(jìn)了這所溫馨和諧的家園學(xué)?！K州旅游與財經(jīng)高等職業(yè)技術(shù)學(xué)校，開始了一段充實而有意義的教學(xué)生涯。

置身其中，我喜歡聆聽經(jīng)驗豐富、學(xué)識淵博的教師發(fā)表自己深邃的見解；喜歡翻閱厚厚的古籍時散發(fā)出來的淡淡的書香；也喜歡坐在圖書館的角落徜徉在知識的海洋；還喜歡組織學(xué)生參與多姿多彩靈動活現(xiàn)課外活動；更喜歡享受漫步校園，聽到一聲聲“老師早”、“老師好”、“老師再見”時的那種滿足。作為蘇州旅游財經(jīng)高職校的一份子，我樂在其中，并深深的喜歡上了這份教書育人的工作。這份深深的喜歡成了我在思想、學(xué)習(xí)和工作上積極進(jìn)取源源不竭的動力。在專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)中，我力求把知識學(xué)得扎實、明白、透徹，并不斷思索、探究；在認(rèn)真學(xué)好專業(yè)課的同時，廣泛涉獵文學(xué)、哲學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、地理學(xué)、旅游管理方面的書籍來開拓自己的視野，并時時關(guān)注社會熱點和國際動態(tài)。在思想上，我積極要求進(jìn)步，多次參加學(xué)校組織的深入學(xué)習(xí)“科學(xué)發(fā)展觀”活動。也正是在這一過程中，讓我深刻地認(rèn)識到：既然選擇了這份太陽底下最光輝的職業(yè)，我必須具備這樣的精神和素質(zhì)——終身學(xué)習(xí)，不斷提升自身素質(zhì)；淡泊名利，做好在平凡的崗位上奉獻(xiàn)一生的準(zhǔn)備；飽含激情，盡力教育好每一位學(xué)生。在工作中的我深知“路漫漫其修遠(yuǎn)兮，吾將上下而求索?！碧ど辖虒W(xué)崗位，我不敢有絲毫的放松和倦怠，深知必須以一絲不茍的態(tài)度來對待在學(xué)校的每一天，一步一個腳印，因為它不僅記錄著我整個工作歷程，也記錄著我自身的成長和進(jìn)步。雖然來到旅游財經(jīng)高職校只有短短幾個月，但是通過學(xué)校多次組織的學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)發(fā)展觀的活動，我對這一先進(jìn)理論、思想有了更深刻的認(rèn)識?？茖W(xué)發(fā)展觀，第一要義是發(fā)展，核心是以人為本。教育的第一要義也是發(fā)展，為學(xué)生的終身發(fā)展奠基，為學(xué)生的未來生活打上幸福的底色。教育中同時也要讓我們的老師有職業(yè)的幸福感。教師陪伴著學(xué)生成長，收獲的是喜悅和成熟，是人生沉甸甸的回報。教育過程中的以人為本，是要以學(xué)生的發(fā)展為根本。做到了以人為本，師生間才會有友好的人際關(guān)系，“親其師，信其道”，受益的不僅師學(xué)生，收獲的可是雙贏！我們老師，要目中有人，眼里有愛，行動上有尊重、愛護(hù)和指引。

這份愛不僅連接著我與每一位學(xué)生，也連接著我與旅游財經(jīng)高職校。作為旅游財經(jīng)高職校的一份子，我與學(xué)校之間都有著一份相依相偎的親密和默契?！耙驗橛辛嗽频臐嵃祝觳棚@得更蔚藍(lán)，因為有了天的高遠(yuǎn)，云才顯得更飄逸！因為有了草的嬌小，樹才顯得更挺拔，因為有了樹的奔放，草才顯得更溫婉！因為有了葉的濃綠，花才顯得艷麗，因為有了花的傲然，葉才顯得更高尚！”這是因為——白云和藍(lán)天相依相偎，小草和大樹相依相偎，綠葉和紅花相依相偎！所以學(xué)校的發(fā)展，與我們每一位教師息息相關(guān)。我們說個人命運與祖國命運息息相關(guān)，同樣的道理，我們與學(xué)校同命運，共榮辱。所以作為一名旅游財經(jīng)高職校的一份子，我在不斷汲取營養(yǎng)，充實自我的同時，也以最大的熱情和努力來回報著這份“海闊憑魚躍，天高任鳥飛”的恩情，畢竟是旅游財經(jīng)高職校為我設(shè)立了一個可以施展抱負(fù)的平臺。

作為一名學(xué)子，自記事那天起，就背負(fù)著父輩沉沉的希冀和自己美麗夢想跋涉在求學(xué)路上，而今終于可以撐起風(fēng)帆去開啟人生的另一條航線。作為一名光榮的人民教師，我也有責(zé)任有義務(wù)，幫助每一位學(xué)生都能擁有揚帆起航的能力。選擇蘇州旅游財經(jīng)高等職業(yè)學(xué)校，選擇了一方理想的工作之地；選擇教師，選擇了一段最美好的人生旅程。我選擇了自己所愛，并愛著自己的選擇。

MOTHER

It doesn't sound insane at all, Truman.I see him ten times a week, in a hundred

different faces.You know I almost hugged a

perfect stranger in the salon last Thursday.TRUMAN

It was dad.I swear!Dressed like a homeless man!And you know what else was strange? A

business man and a woman with a little dog came

out of nowhere and forced him onto a bus.MOTHER

Well!It's about time they cleaned up the trash

downtown before we become just like the rest

of the country.TRUMAN

They never found Dad's body.Maybe somehow...MOTHER

Oh no...!

TRUMAN

I'm telling you, if it wasn't him, it was

his twin.Did dad have a bother?

MOTHER

Truman, you know perfectly well that your

father was an only child, just like you.No sweetie, you're just feeling bad because

of what happened.You, sailing off into

that storm....But I never blamed you, Truman.And I don't blame you now.Truman's Basement
