John Krasinski’s strong speech to students

People ask me how I got into acting, and the truth is, I didn’t get into acting. I got into everything.

Actor John Krasinski returned to his graduation student college to deliver the commencement speech during the school's Class of 2019 graduation.

He kept the students entertained with a funny yet inspiring story, reports JustJared.com

“People ask me how I got into acting, and the truth is, I didn’t get into acting. I got into everything. For the next four years I wanted to be part of it all, I formed a new way of thinking. A new way to execute those thoughts. I left my comfort zone and then stayed there, and left again,” says Krasinski, who graduated in 2001 with a degree in theatre arts.

He went on to say, “Real change is organic. The only responsibility you all have is to hold fast to everything you have lived, right here. To not conform, to realize that when you’re out there, you’ve done all this before. Remember fondly the discomfort you felt when you were asked to push yourself farther than you were ever sure you could go. And the elation when you finally got there.”
