Neil deGrasse Tyson's Life Advice Will Leave You SPEECHLESS - One of the Most Eye Opening Interviews

I will never be tired of listening to him. He's a great gift to humanity. Very intelligent.

The man's a legend. Humble, respectful and genuinely interesting.

“By whatever powers I have available to me, have I lessened the suffering of others” Very powerful line.

I wish I had him for a teacher in any year of school. He's brilliant

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” ― Henry Thomas Buckle

As an educator, I can confidently say that this speech should be included in any Ed degree classes. What a great teacher.

I broke down into tears watching this, and wish I could have seen it 40 years ago.

Whenever I hear NdG speak, my respect for him always goes up significantly. If only there were heaps more people like him on our planet!

Why can't anyone get a teacher like him, a legitimate, REAL teacher?

He's really gifted in expressing his thoughts. A natural teacher.

This man is at his core a pure teacher and I love him for it

"If I can do it better than anybody else then it would be irresponsible not to". What a compelling person Neil deGrasse Tyson is. He's so articulate with his words. His curiosity and childlike wonder to keep learning is a trait we should all keep. To see that puddle and jump in it. To not let any obstacle stand in the way of an experiment and if so find solutions on how to overcome it. What is the meaning of life? First of all, you have to ask yourself what meaning means to you. You have the power to give life meaning. We are in effect the universe manifested in consciousness. However you choose to walk that path in life, live it the way you want to.

"What is an adult scientist but a kid who has not lost their curiosity" WOW!

“You don’t look for the meaning in life, you create it.” Incredible!

We need teachers like him teaching our kids. Such a rarity in today's world, especially in the teacher circles. I had a great World History teacher who told me I am giving you the tools, it's up to you to figure out how to use them and find your own way. Sounds simple, but to me in my sophomore year of high school, it was like a light bulb went off and I just became insatiable for knowledge. I found new ways to learn. I passed that onto my own kids. You're such an inspiration, Dr. Tyson!

This man is amazing and a gift to this world!

I have two boys that are constantly curious about things. It took this video for me to realize and look at their curiosity and nurture it rather than curtail it. Thanks Neil! You made me smarter today than I was yesterday.

“Drive and curiosity is not taught in school, school at a minimum preserves curiosity, so if you lost it, its there to put it back in you” Thank you Neil

My younger brother is a teacher in NYC and I've seen the impact that he has on his students and I have to admit, it's inspiring. He doesn't just teach his students, he educates them by appealing to what interests them.

0:00 Meaning/Purpose of your life 2:50 School's goal is to empower you 4:24 Inspiration from his dad 7:36 Carl Sagan's impact as he joined college 9:20 Kids education to preserve curiosity 11:40 Internet, social interactions with diverse people 12:52 Living in a world with toxic people 14:56 Grades 15:14 Process to learning/teaching TL;DR: be curious, help others ; not helping humanity to improve when you have some power over it would be irresponsible.
