Harrison Ford at Arizona State University commencement “Don’t wait. When opportunity presents, recognize it. This is your time. Own it. Enjoy every second of it. Because what could be worse than getting to the end of your life and realizing that you haven’t fully lived it?” (May 11, 2026)
I feel like I’ve heard this speech before. It can’t be original, can it?

I feel insane saying this but I feel like he took the Shrinking role and like finally just loves acting and what’s going on with him at the moment

I rolled my eyes at this initially but I graduated during the pandemic and all the speeches were about how it was our job to unfuck the world, so I guess follow your dreams is not so bad a speech
