The Maharishi University School of Management located in Fairfield, Iowa had a special treat during their commencement ceremony this weekend.

Comedian/actor Jim Carrey surprised graduates as a commencement speaker during the ceremony.  The 52 year old had a fun filled speech including jokes but also some serious points as well.

One story in particular Carrey talked about was about his father.  He spoke about how his father didn’t let him take the risk in becoming a comedian and to tap into his greatest potential he had. Carrey told the Graduates, “So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality,” he said.  “I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
