As one half of the all-star cast from Dumb and Dumber you wouldn’t exactly expect comedian Jim Carrey to be full of academic wisdom.

However this beautifully simple speech about chasing your dreams and never giving up, puts corny inspirational quotes, every Hallmark card ever written and quite possibly Oprah, to shame.

Jim Carrey moves his audience in the way that only a great performer can. And he absolutely nails it.

If there is someone in your life who is giving up the crazy big wondrous creative dream for a safer, practical career – send them this. Immediately.
