Commencement Speech: Emmanuel Faber – “Who is your Brother?”

I’ve just added another great Commencement speech to my youtube playlist: Commencement Speeches

Emmanuel Faber gave the commencement address at HEC this year, 2016.

The first half is in french, the last in english. Emmanuel tells a powerful personal story, describes 3 diseases, and asks us a question…

This is a powerful speech. You’ve got to watch the video to hear Emmanuel’s story…

Power – People who have power but do nothing with it, only protect their hold on power… Power makes sense only if you serve a purpose.
Money – You chase money, you become a prisoner of money. Remember why you chase the money.
Glory – Hall of fame is so that people can look at their own name. Don’t lose yourself just to see your name on a wall.

Who will you allow to ask you the important questions? (Who is your brother?)
