"If you aren't happy in your heart, nothing else matters." YES. Incredibly proud of you Phil! What an honor!

"take your time, but don'y waste your time" Great quote.

Phil's speech is a lot like his shorts: very relatable, very real, with a sprinkle of humor and a lot of heart.

Thank you all for the kind words and positive feedback. I'm so glad to hear that the simple things I had to share can have an impact. No matter what age you are out there, learn how to be passionate in whatever you do, and learn how to be the best you can be when it comes to relationships!

"The economy is great" -Philip Wang (2016)

"The 20s is when you start to humanize your parents." Getting choked up with him as he talks about his parents. This is so true..

aweee the parents part ...='(

I make terrible speeches, good thing I wasn't there, what I would say would be; "People are like potatoes, when you eat them, they die"

the reason people go to UCSD is Wongfu lol

"I didn't chase my passion, but I became passionate about what I chased." great speech Phil

"take your time but don't waste your time" needed to hear this. thank you.

I cried when he mentioned he parents- dear god why

I graduated recently but didn't get a cool speaker like Phil. Soooo I'm gonna pretend I'm reliving my commencement ceremony but with Phil. :D Also with chips and a hopefully good sandwich.

I was sitting in the audience as a graduate that day Phil came to speak at UCSD. Never has a speech been more memorable, relatable, and touching than Phil's, especially that part where he almost teared up when he mentioned his family (I almost teared up with him) ❤️ Congrats UCSD class of 2016!

I saw this great speech live but it's somehow even better here! How is that possible? Usually recordings are never as good! It's almost as if Phil planned it...AAAAAAHHH 😏

"Emotions are what gives your life meaning". I've started to think this too. What we're really here for is experiencing the world, the good AND the bad. Live life to its fullest, have a good time, help other people, love other people. I really liked this speech c:

What if this ends up on a buzzfeed video 😂

Never clicked a video so quickly before! :D

That parents part man... Almost made me tear up yooo

The speech was so Phil. SO. PHIL. and I loved it.

it would have been cool to receive a speech like this when i graduated. he's said so many things i needed to hear at the time: such as expecting to try different jobs.. don't expect to follow a single path... being kind of lost, scared about the future is normal. it's great to hear that stuff. everyone made it seem back then we'd all be doing great & glamorous things after graduation. i had an image of what i expected to happen and what i would be doing. when those things didn't happen i became so depressed & felt so worthless. it still hasn't been that long since my graduation and i'm still not where i want to be.. but i know i'm not the only one and that's comforting. it makes me feel like i'm not the weird alien. it's normal. i'll get there someday. i'll be ok. we'll be ok.

Pomp and Circumstance triggers me because I'm in the orchestra at my high school and I have to play it for 15 minutes straight every year at graduation.

"I didn't chase my passion but I became passionate about what I chased." - Philip Wang

WWOOP WOOP GO PHILL!!! That was a beautiPHIL and wonderPHIL commencement address;D

One of the best speeches I've ever heard, period.

"take your time but don't waste your time." so deep yet so true.

" Take your time, but don't waste your time " words to live by. Thanks Phil

“Love your family” hit home. Thank you for this speech.

"I didn't chase my passion, I became passionate about what I chased" damn that was good

So proud of you Phil! You deserve everything good that comes your way!

AHH IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO. YUSSSSS

i have been watching your channel for 4-5 years. you guys are such a huge inspiration to many people including me. congratulations phil i am v happy for you being able to do this

gawd... I think I just cried for the first time ever. Thanks for being such an inspiration to young (and old people alike) across the world, Wong Fu Productions!!

Congrats, Phil. And thank you, even though I'm wiping tears from my face. You have a way with words, through your work and through this speech, that I love. I'm always excited to hear what you have to say.

obtained alot of wisdom and PHIL-osophy from this video

Thank you Wongfu, words can't describe how much of an inspiration ya'll are. Its such an honour to even witness yall journeys through your work. I really needed this Phil, this was definitely touching and beautiful. before such positivity comes struggle. Thank you

So adorable!! I'm so proud of you and happy for you! You did a great job.

I was there when you gave the speech and now I am here to hear it again, you truly inspired me. Thank you.

Absolutely love how real and genuine this all was. Thank you, Phil. No reason to be so nervous - you always share great wisdom (and humor) from your heart and are hugely respected for that!

Poped up in my recommendation after 3 years. KZfaq knows what I need in my life. This video is so right on time.

"take your time, but don't waste it" loved this line phil- i seriously think ill keep this thought with me for a long long time ahaha

I am in my mid-twenties. Everything that Phil said is SPOT ON, from jobs to relationships. Early twenties you feel you can take on the world, but by mid you're lost an confused. The struggle is real, but it won't last forever. As long as you believe in yourself and surround yourself with supportive people, you will be fine.

Finally! Been waiting for this video! Already knew the speech would be amazing!

Too bad i just found out this now. One of the most wholesome speeches I’ve heard. Thank you mr. philip!

I WAS THERE

Congrats!! What an amazing speech & honor. So proud to see KZfaq creators reaching lives & impacting the world on a larger scale.

bless up, been with this channel for awhile now. glad to see this happen for Philip

Wow, loving the family really hit home. Teared up a bit. Thankful for coming across this, thanks Philip!

Thank You Phil! That speech was amazing! I'm already in my 30's and I was still moved and inspired

I smiled through this entire video. You go Phil!!

Watching this video 3 years after posting, and gotta say that it's still very touching, relatable, and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your insight.

That was a great speech, Phil! One year into post-grad (from UCSD as well!) and I so badly needed to hear these words. Thanks for being real :)

Revisiting this speech in 2022. Thank you, Phil, for your honest and heartfelt message! 🙏🏼❤

That's a fantastic speech, Phil. Thanks for sharing with us.

This actually made me cry. Your speech really inspired me!

I still come back to this every year or so. It really gets to me

this made me a little teary eyed, seeing you back at UCSD after graduating ten years ago and also hearing your speech made me feel so many feels!

Congratulations Phil! You deserve all the praise. Your company has grown so much and we love you. Wong Fun For Lyfe!

great job Phil! the part about loving your parents brought me to tears.

Man, that part about parent's. Phil got me with that. Good stuff Phillip. Very pragmatic words.

YES MAN PHIL!!!!!! fabulous..just absolutely fabulous... wong fu's speeches - just fab

Thank you for the second half of your speech. It came at the right time during this difficult time of my life. Thank you Phil

wow what a wonderful speech! Congratulations on this great honor

Phil, I love your speech. Especially the part about the parents. Thanks for reminding me about it.

even a few years removed from undergrad and Phil's insight definitely resonates. thank you

This was truly motivational.I've been a fan of Wonfu Productions since 1million sub. Wonfu for life!!

I just rewatched Accumulated and I cried and then I watched this and now I'm crying again...thanks Phil ❤️

Thank you so much for uploading this video on here so people who weren't sitting out there like me can watch it. And thank you so much Philip for being real with the speech which made it truly inspiring. I'm proud of you and will keep the 2 things in mind to build a better version of me. :)

this made me tear up :') so proud of you phil! go wong fu!

Congratulations on such an amazing speech! It was real, funny and touching (I cried at the end). WFP is truly an inspiration to millions of people around the world.

Any time I need to refocus and hear words of wisdom, I revisit this and get choked up at the exact. same. time. Philip does...

thank you phil for your authentic, heart-felt delivery and it really makes my day! A lot of the words message are simple yet profound. I can see you are very nervous when you get back to the seat after you finished the speech, i am sure it must be an overwhelming feeling for you, but guess what, you did it your way!

i remember watching this for the first time when it first came out, right after i graduated high school (class of 2016), and thinking that it was super good even though it wasn't entirely applicable to me yet because frankly, i was still a young naive teenager. now, rewatching 4 years later, after graduating college (c/o 2020), i can say it's just as good but means so much more now because i actually understand everything in the speech because they are all things that i have experienced them myself. especially learning to humanize your parents, and how career and relationships are like the #1 things in your life right now. wonderful speech, phil, thank you so much for everything throughout the years :')

Thank you, Phil, for another great inspirational dosis. You make me cry, in a good way, of course! I'm really feeling lost right now, I'm trying to discover my real passion and I'm afraid of my decisions. I totally feel this speech was something that I needed. Thank you again!! :D

very real, Phil! I've been floating with post college for a year now. So real!

this made me cry just a little bit. and it made me feel ok that even "a whole year after" graduation I don't know my passions yet. But I like to be passionate about what I'm doing. Thanks Phil for the awesome speech. And congrats to everyone!

Such a great speech! I was smiling throughout the video and ended with me in tears when you started talking about parents. Thank you for this Phil :)!

Such a great job by Phil! These are the kind of speeches I think every 20 something should revisit when they're feeling lost. I'm certainly still in that stage at age 24.

What an honor! I definitely would have appreciated to hear this speech on my commencement day. Great job Phil!

Totally bookmarked this video as my motivational video! Thanks, Phil!

Man, this is some real stuff right here. Much respect.

One of the greatest speeches I've heard!! I think what makes it great is because you're relatable to them, just old enough where it's like an older brother giving advice to his siblings 😊

Great speech, Phil. I can tell that this truly came from your heart and experience. So much wisdom! Thanks for sharing!

I cried. Thank you Phil, this means a lot

That was amazing Phil, you stayed true to your storytelling, your learnings and I am proud to share an alma mater with you. :)

Thank you Phil for sharing your thoughts and encouraging and inspiring us, your speech meant so much to me that it brought me to tears. Thank you again.

Been counting days to this video before Phil gave his speech. Although the whole WF team might know this already, but once again the contents that you guys have produced have truly helped a lot of us through our lives. Thank you :) And awwww thanks Phil for coming through all these years ;') Be a happier sadness ok

When he was done Them:claps Me:claps in my room by myself

What he said in this speech, was something I, and many others really needed to hear. :) Thank you thank you!

Wow what an incredible speech! I have seen a lot of them, yet this one is my favorite.

I loved this speech.

lol that sounds like Taylor laughing behind the camera. This was an awesome speech I'm not even graduating and I'm inspired!

Love the fact that you made it so comfortable for everyone!

Phil, you are so amazing. That speech was amazing, and I appreciated the relationship portion and to reminder to you love your family. It's so easy to lose yourself in a relationship, and think that you are nothing without them. It is so important to take care of yourself, treat yourself right, and that's often forgotten. Your speech was very down to earth. Short and sweet.

Awh phil! that was amazing. Thank You so much for such a well thought out and delivered speech. i loved it!

Congratulations Phil and the Wong Fu Productions!!! You are amazing.

I throughly enjoyed this! GREAT JOB PHIL!

Great speech Phil. Totally agree with everything you said. I have grown to love and respect my parents more so than I ever did in this time. Thank you for sharing.

Phil you are an inspiration, great speech, brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my lips.

loved it Phil💜💜 thank you for your words, will keep in mind and apply it, graduating college next year..desperately needed this.
