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.

It's so grateful that I learned English and could understand this wonderful speech with my own heart.

I’ve watched this speech multiple times as a lifeline while navigating grief. Thank you for your bravery, Sheryl.

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."

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.

it's 2021, and I am watching this video again and crying.

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 KZfaq.

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.

She breaks down and gets back, and again breaks down, and gets back stronger. those little courages that you have to call PRICELESS.

Every time I feel down, I come across such emotionally strong people & get a breath. Nothing to complain, I'm complete.

(May 14, 2016) 5:33 When life kicks you under, you can kick against the bottom and find the surface and breathe again 5:55 You can choose joy and meaning 6:26 Hope, strength, and light within us that won't be extinguished 8:26 What you do next (after adversity) is what matters 9:40 Sometimes we have to live with option B (our 2nd choice) 10:25 Personalization is when we think things are our fault 11:30 Don't take failures personally 11:35 Pervasiveness is when we think a failure will affect other areas of our life 12:25 Think of other things in your life that AREN'T awful (think of good) 13:29 Permanence is when we think sorrow will last forever 13:57 Accept your feelings, and know they won't last forever 15:06 You're not terrible at everything just because you're terrible at something 15:39 Sometimes it's not you. It's them 16:41 Think about how WORSE things could be (if you think things are really bad) 17:30 Find gratitude and appreciation 18:50 How would you live if you had 11 days left? 19:16 Realize how precious every day would be 20:56 I celebrate always 21:08 Instead of focusing on what I did wrong, I focus on the day's joy 21:37 Find gratitude 22:26 Live each day with joy and meaning 22:45 You have the ability to learn and grow 23:00 Figure out who you are and become the best YOU 23:26 Build resilience.

When you see things are broken, fix them 25:00 Be there for your community, family, and friends 25:10 Lift each other up and celebrate every moment of joy

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.

Honestly, I love her speech. It was heartfelt.

I watched this video the day my high school results were announced and it really helps.

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

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.

Brilliant message about the importance and value of practicing daily gratitude and cultivating resiliency to prepare for life's inevitable adversities and losses.

My son will be the first to graduate from Berkeley university may 2022 I am so proud of him 😭🙏

Our loved one who have passed, teach us to live .. The last leasson they leave for us .

she gave both the uc berkeley and harvard commencement speeches #respect

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 :)

"Done is better than perfect." --Sheryl Sandberg

I need to hear this at least twice. Really inspirational.

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?😅

One of the best speeches I listened to, great inspiration. Thanks.

Great Speech! Lift each other up Help each other kick the shit out of option B And celebrate every moment of joy

This was exactly what we needed to hear.

Great speech.I believe this beautiful idea will bring up all of the people ‘s resilience.Thank you from my heart.

AMAZING!!! Watched it 3 times in the past 2 weeks! INSPIRING!!!

love this lady. she is always so amazing .. love from South Africa

This was life changing for me & I needed it so very much right now. Thank you!

Thank you Sheryl ! I am truly grateful for your very heartfelt speech! I begin the gratitude exercise. It really changes my focus.

I love Sheryl Sandberg, she never disappoints. She's honest, heartfelt and connects with people. Funny too!!

Thank you for sharing this personal life story... it was so touching and inspiring!

Thank you Sheryl ❤️ I wasn't at the graduation back then but much ❤️ from China today

I dont understand how can there be a single thumbsdown on this video ?

Felicidades querido sobrino Fernando Cossio Káiser, a seguir adelante desde Santa Cruz de la Sierra Bolivia

Beautifully Human! Thank you Sheryl Sandberg

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

Excellent! Worth taking the time to listen to this. Unusual and so moving.

Very profound and inspirational speech.

She is truly a fantastic woman.. It is just difficult emotionally to watch this speech...

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

Great speech! It literally brought me to tears. But I just couldn't stop looking at the guy in the back. There must be lots of emotions going on inside of him as well.

that was really beautiful.

THANK YOU Sheryl Sandberg! You are truly 'wonder woman'.

Such an inspiring speech, such an inspiring woman

If you are on headphones get ready for that audio echo ;)

best speech i've ever heard, i respect her

Moving speech. Thanks for sharing.

When life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, find the surface and breath again!

straight to my heart. amazing!

This is a great and inspirational speech

Excellent speech Wonderful experience

Beautiful and empowering

amazing!

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

Sad but beautiful & inspirational 😘😘

I like this video!

Sherlyn Sandburg is my inspiration from now.

Awww Sheryl 🤣😂 your grandmother scrubbed floors 😅🤣you are a riot you really are.

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

Inspiring speech

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.

Amazing Sheryl. May Allah bless you and your family.

Hey ! Nice !

To the people who so quickly left "thumb downs": while you have every right for descent, you just completely missed the boat!

well thought out

inspirational speech.

+Legendary status😜😙💝

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.

Resilience

”…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

Beautiful 👍

WHAT A REMARKABLE WOMEN!

Personalization. Pervasiveness. Permanence. Roll on you Bears!

8:40 Wondering if she's talking about those riots....?

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.

Did the people who disliked the speech study at UC Berkeley's School of Resurrection and Other Hogwarts Curiosities?

That was one of the most poignant speeches I've ever heard and it will help me forever. Thank you, Sheryl.

dope

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.
