Jerry Seinfeld Delivers Commencement Address at Duke University: You Will Need Humor to Get Through the Human Experience

This week­finish, Jer­ry Sein­feld gave the com­mence­ment speech at Duke Uni­ver­si­ty and presented the grad­u­ates his 3 keys to existence: 1. bust your ass, 2. pay atten­tion, and three. fall in love. Then, 10 min­utes lat­er, he added essen­tial­ly a fourth key to existence: “Don’t lose your humorousness. You’ll be able to do not know at this level for your existence how a lot you’re going to want it to get thru. Now not sufficient of existence is smart for you in an effort to sur­vive it with­out humor.” “It’s well worth the sac­ri­fice of an occa­sion­al dis­com­castle to have some laughs. Don’t lose that.” “Humor is probably the most pow­er­ful, maximum sur­vival-essen­tial qual­i­ty you’ll ever have or wish to nav­i­gate in the course of the human expe­ri­ence.” Amen.
