Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 

Who else is back here again for another dose of encouragement?

I probably loop back to rewatch this at least once per year. I have a transcription of it in my "commonplace book." Decades of being a writer, and I still need this message often.

This is the most inspirational speech I've ever heard addressing young artists. Thank you so much to Neil Gaiman for his advice and the attitude with which he expressed it!

I was there for this and will never forget it!

I originally only watched this video because it was a part of my English assignment, but watching this video was so inspirational and touching (especially as an artist myself). Neil Gaiman has a way with his words really!

I think that's the best thing I've ever heard in my life. 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

One of the most under-watched and under-valued videos on RU-vid.

I've heard and read this speech many times. Today is the first time I've listened.

I LOVE Neil Gaiman. What a treat to hear him on this subject. What's better than someone awesome encouraging more people to be their own uniques awesomeness?!

This incredibly encouraged me during this difficult time, thanks so much Neil !!! Appreciate your voice.

When Neil talked about the transitioning and future, who knew AI would impact jobs in the creative field first. This world continues to surprise me and not for the better.

Ah man, back again and such good advice. Gotta enjoy the ride

Saving this to remember whenever I get discouraged

I literally am watching this video solely because I have to answer questions about it on my English exam tomorrow. It is 3 am right now. I should stop procrastinating..

What a fantastic address. Really enjoyed this!

Thank you!

Excellent !!!

As an aspiring author especially, this is a really, *really* good talk to listen to. It's even more directly applicable to a creator than Steve Jobs's commencement address at Stanford. Wow! :D

Thank you for sharing, attractet,🎉 immediatelyt m
