Matthew McConaughey’s Amazing College Commencement Address [VIDEO]

Matthew McConaughey is not a man to shy away from a little controversy. If you think he is, just listen to him thanking God in his Oscar acceptance speech, right there in the bowels of heathen Hollywood. And just a few days ago, having been asked to give the commencement address to the graduates at University of Houston, ol' Matthew did what he does best...get folks attention.

McConaughey on success:

"Whatever your answer is, dont choose anything that will jeapordize your soul, prioritize who you are, who you want to be, and don't spend time with anything that antagozizes your character. Don't drink the Kool-Aid! It tastes sweet today but it will give you cavities tomorrow. Life is not a popularity contest. Be brave, take the hill but first, answer the question, 'What is my hill?'”

On honesty:

"An honest man’s pillow is his peace of mind, and when you lay down on the pillow at night, no matter who’s in our bed we ALL sleep alone. — These are your personal jiminy crickets. And there are not enough cops in the entire world to police them — It’s on you!"

And on success:

"You know these No Fear t-shirts? I don’t get em. Hell, I try to scare myself at least once a day. I get butterflies every morning before I go to work. I was nervous before I got here to speak tonight. I think fear is a good thing. Why? Because it increases our need to overcome that fear."
