He shared that he had considered several topics for his speech but settled with something that is very important to him, <b>kindness<\/b>. After which he told the audience to \u201cplease just shut up and listen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Steve Carell&amp;apos;s Commencement Address to the Northwestern Class of 2025\" width=\"1366\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UgUntNCldAY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Carell forewarned the audience that <b>anything he was about to say was \u201cvery likely conjecture, falsehoods, or simply made up.\u201d<\/b> Like his character Greg Russo from the <i>\u2018Rooster\u2019<\/i>, he explained that he\u2019s not an academic, \u201cnot that smart nor gifted in any way,\u201d that his \u201cgrasp of human knowledge is weak at best\u201d and he isn\u2019t that good of a speaker. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cBut even with all of these intellectual setbacks, I understand the importance of kindness,\u201d he said. \u201cI am kind. Or at least that seems to be a common misconception about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The actor and comedian then gave <b>\u201ca few tips to being pretty nice and\/or kind.\u201d <\/b>These included donating time or money to a worthy cause. Putting your shopping cart back when in the parking lot, and <b>even taking the time to return a stray shopping cart. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cAn act like this will not only help others, but it will fill your heart and spread great joy throughout the parking lot, humanity\u2019s parking lot,\u201d he reflected. <b>\u201cAnd remember to wash your hands because some gross person probably touched that cart before you.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><b>\u201cRemember that kindness isn\u2019t a weakness. It is a very potent strength,\u201d<\/b> he noted.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">The enemies of kindness<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Next, he talked about Envy. <b>\u201cEnvy is an enemy of kindness,\u201d<\/b> Carell said. He used the example of his own envy of friend and fellow Second City comedy club alum Stephen Colbert. \u201cEnvy comes from the ignorance and lack of belief in your own gifts. <b>And frankly, what are you envious of? A fa\u00e7ade that another human being, say Stephen Colbert, creates for themselves.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cTurn your jealousy into admiration and use it to fuel your ambition in a positive way.<b> In all honesty, I am not jealous of Stephen Colbert. He is in fact a dear friend and for a shell of a man, he is a great guy<\/b>,\u201d Carell quipped in a perfectly choregraphed deadpan voice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Carell also warned against holding a grudge as it is \u201canother stumbling block to kindness.\u201d He shared that he had held a grudge against an actress, who he did not name, for 18 years after she was extremely mean to him at the Academy Awards. Last year, he ran into her again and she was horrible to him again. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI was right the first time,\u201d he said to much laughter. <b>\u201cSo, I guess what I\u2019m saying is that in 99% of the cases, grudge-holding is completely a waste of time. But the other 1% can be extremely satisfying and perfectly valid.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">The art of listening<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">While he didn\u2019t took university classes at Northwestern, it was there that he attended a <b>Summer High School Institute for Theater<\/b>. That gave him his first introduction to improvisation when some students from the university gave him a masterclass in the art and inspired him to follow a career in it and move to Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The comedian shared that when he began at Second City, he had a wonderful teacher named <b>Don Depollo<\/b>, who stressed the importance of listening. \u201cAn improv scene goes nowhere unless everyone listens to each other,\u201d Carell told the audience. <b>\u201cDon taught us about listening and a bunch of other stuff.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cShould have paid attention, but I did learn this from Don,\u201d he continued. <b>\u201cThe best way to see and understand another human being is to listen to them,\u201d<\/b> Carell pointed out. <b>\u201cTo listen is to show respect.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cRespect can be an elusive concept,\u201d he said. \u201cSome say you must earn my respect. How about this? Instead of requiring people to earn your respect, start out by respecting them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><b>\u201cFight against the natural inclination to be cynical. Assume they are good people,\u201d<\/b> he advised. <b>\u201cI try to do this with Stephen Colbert and it doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">A few random final thoughts<\/h3>\n<p class=\"\">Among the last recommendations and words he had for the 2025 graduates at Northwestern, Carell encouraged them to <b>send a handwritten note<\/b> to someone, it \u201cwill shock and confuse them, but they will love it.\u201d He urged them to <b>\u201chold the door for people regardless of gender, age, or political affiliation,\u201d<\/b> and <b>\u201cbe wary of those who use ChatGPT for personal emails.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><b>\u201cNever pick your nose in your car at a stoplight,\u201d<\/b> he warned. \u201cSomeone is watching you and it\u2019s grossing them out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">He then wished the fathers of the graduates a happy Father\u2019s Day and apologized that the graduation celebration had ruined their own special day. <b>\u201cRemember that you are loved.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Carell finally shared that as a father of two children of similar age as those graduating, that <b>it\u2019s difficult for him to process and heartbreaking for him \u201cjust how much you\u2019ve all experienced in your young lives.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYou have already had to overcome a lifetime\u2019s worth of turmoil and uncertainty, and it doesn\u2019t seem fair,\u201d he said. He pointed out that there is a silver lining to this. \u201cKeep in mind that as badly as you feel about the state of the world, your parents probably feel worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cUse that. Take advantage of that.<b> Now is the perfect time to exploit your parents\u2019 guilt and to emotionally blackmail them,<\/b>\u201d Carell suggested tongue in cheek. \u201cThey might even let you live in the basement for an extra six months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">But in all seriousness, he shared the advice he and his wife give to their own children. \u201cRemember the little things like being kind and that you\u2019re not alone. Take care of one another. <b>Remember to laugh when you have the opportunity. And to cry when necessary.<\/b>\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"a_rel\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"a_rel_t\">\n<header class=\"a_rel_h\">\n<h2 class=\"a_rel_t\" id=\"a_rel_t\">Related stories<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"a_rel_b\">\n<div class=\"s\" data-tb-region-item=\"\">\n<figure class=\"s_m\"><span class=\"s_m_w\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"s\" data-tb-region-item=\"\">\n<figure class=\"s_m\"><span class=\"s_m_w\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.asmedia.epimg.net\/resizer\/v2\/ALDJZGR6JRF4LNP7L5KYIVYA2E.jpg?auth=46c6a943e39074cf9b6a24bd1494f3494dab9bdc9da4abd780b8a7ea9b1e3950&amp;width=240&amp;height=240&amp;smart=true\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\" sizes=\"auto,     (min-width: 1000px) 270px,    120px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.asmedia.epimg.net\/resizer\/v2\/ALDJZGR6JRF4LNP7L5KYIVYA2E.jpg?auth=46c6a943e39074cf9b6a24bd1494f3494dab9bdc9da4abd780b8a7ea9b1e3950&amp;width=120&amp;height=120&amp;smart=true 120w,https:\/\/img.asmedia.epimg.net\/resizer\/v2\/ALDJZGR6JRF4LNP7L5KYIVYA2E.jpg?auth=46c6a943e39074cf9b6a24bd1494f3494dab9bdc9da4abd780b8a7ea9b1e3950&amp;width=240&amp;height=240&amp;smart=true 240w,https:\/\/img.asmedia.epimg.net\/resizer\/v2\/ALDJZGR6JRF4LNP7L5KYIVYA2E.jpg?auth=46c6a943e39074cf9b6a24bd1494f3494dab9bdc9da4abd780b8a7ea9b1e3950&amp;width=270&amp;height=152&amp;smart=true 270w,https:\/\/img.asmedia.epimg.net\/resizer\/v2\/ALDJZGR6JRF4LNP7L5KYIVYA2E.jpg?auth=46c6a943e39074cf9b6a24bd1494f3494dab9bdc9da4abd780b8a7ea9b1e3950&amp;width=540&amp;height=304&amp;smart=true 540w\" loading=\"lazy\" data-tb-thumbnail=\"\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"\"><i>Get closer to the game!
