  1. Why is he bashing one of the most successful Americans ever. I find Trump to be inspirational even looking at his failures. His first wife stole a billion $ from him, and yet they remained friends and raised their children well. Then he hosted his ex wife’s wedding and he also married a much more attractive lady. Bashing Trump is pure envy and profoundly unprofessional considering the subject of his pontificating speech.

  2. I waa totally unimpressed with this speech. I only listened once, but what I took away was that this man is still giving his grown children money. Are they successful children. And, this man hasn't seen adversity like a handicapped child or the untimely death of a loved one. Although he did have a near death experience and a divorce or two, I found this very superficial.

  3. Marry a happy person sound a bit calculative to me. What happened to falling in love regardless of their situation. Healing a broken heart may also lead to happiness 🙏🏻 Life is just not that black and white where you can calculate your life to happiness.

  4. This lecture has lost none of its relevance. Time has only increased its potency. I listen to a lot of lectures in my free time (Engineering, statistics, mathematics, construction innovation etc…) Although, I enjoy learning, I’m typically coming from a place of anxiety. Attempting to fill gaps in my ignorance or, more than likely, to keep up with some fictitious peer or arbitrary measure. This was the simplest, yet, most eye opening lecture I’ve listened to in some time! Cheers, to your continued health, Sir! I will, along with many who watch this video, likely not have the opportunity to attend Harvard. Still, thank you for your educational contributions and long history of generosity!

  5. I stopped listening when the speaker said hedge fund. Why does everyone who graduates Harvard, Yale and business school have to go into finance? Also, it seems he immediately defined success in life as success in business. Not a guru for me.
