This was the most moving and truly the most inspirational speech I have heard in a very long time.I was privileged to be there for my daughter's graduation and the entire audience at Madison Square Garden erupted in several spontaneous standing ovations. Thank you Dr. Kraft for being a true role model for our Yeshiva University graduates.

I am not Jewish...I was raised catholic in New England...not that it matters but what a great speech! Your father sounds like he was an amazing human being and would be very proud of the man that you are. I love that last part about your father having you ask yourself, "Are the people you touch today richer and better for having known you?" Amen to that!

Bob Kraft you're a TRUE prince of a man! I met you when I was 16 at the King David Hotel around 1997. I will never forget what an extraordinary and rare individual you were! Now I am 38. We spoke for hours and you literally made my day. I have played this video 100's of times!! I kept playing it as I cheered for the Patriots when they Beat the Rams this year! I am a huge Jets fan but also a Patriot because of your story! My big dream is to meet you when my big dream comes true to of buying a sports franchise but I hope are paths cross before! God Bless your soul. Part of my luck has come from the belief that this video has given me!! I play it now almost each day in my head and I watch it almost each day too! Truly the most iconic words of belief I have ever heard! I always get a true sense of what it is to be grateful and appreciative from your belief! In addition, to always believe and to continue to believe because MIRACLES do happen! Thank You!!!

1:58 and 2:04 such a sweet moment! That's the key to his success. The relationship w his dad! 4:21 Didn't know he grew up poor. What an inspirational story & an extremely driven man. 4:39 A life of Jewish values should create a mensch. Somebody committed to the highest ethical standards. To his dad, this was infinitely more important than material wealth. 6:15 The power of will allows us to accomplish great things. 6:25 Story of him buying the Patriots. 8:43 Sometimes in life, you don't get a second chance. 9:46 and 9:51 Think big! Trust your gut! He is the fountain of wisdom for intrinsic motivation, being authentic and business success. 10:15 Don't just play it safe! 10:30 If you don't give up, you can make your dreams come true!

Very well done and really impactful...Robert Kraft is a class act.....it would have been nice if the man in the back row behind Robert Kraft, had shown some decorum and respect for the speaker and had perhaps even attempted to sit still and listen rather than moving all over the place, leaning over, leafing thru some print material and i won't even get into his nose.

+bruce201082 yes but not 100% captions. Some words are missing according to one friend. YU was kind enough to send me a transcript this morning. :-)

Beautiful, Thoughtful, and Inspiring. Thank You! It's a shame that the person behind him has a book in his face the whole time - It was rude & inappropriate, no matter what he was reading/studying.

I love this guy. Being Jewish it is not about being a DEM or GOP it is about saving lives. During the Holocaust they used to say if you save one life you save the world that is why I went into health care to save lives and help people live longer and have a better quality of life.
