Video Transcript
Today, we bring you an insightful keynote speech by Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of the Grameen Bank.
Known as the banker to the poor, Yunus pioneered the microfinance movement that offers small loans and financial services to individuals living in poverty.
In this speech at UC San Diego's 2016 commencement, he highlights the power of social business,
the importance of sustainable development,
Congratulations to all the UC San Diego graduates.
parents and the friends who are attending this memorable occasion this morning.
I came here all the way from Bangladesh, so I have to give you the greetings from the
other side of the planet.
So I come almost halfway, coming here.
And it's worth it.
You are graduating from UC San Diego.
This is a special privilege.
You remember how many young people in the world don't have a chance to go to school.
How many of them can't make it to college.
And those who get to college never make it to finish it.
And your privilege, not only you went to college, you went to UC San Diego, one of the most
dominant universities, top universities in the world.
You just heard from the chancellor.
So this privilege that you have, you have to remember,
and you have to ask yourself, what use you're
going to make of it.
That's the important thing.
Preparing for life is one part.
And using that preparation is another part.
So that's the question I'll be raising with you, and probably
you'll be raising with yourself, from the beginning
today, to making sure you make good use of it.
And my journey began in the campus of another university,
back in Bangladesh, in Chittagong University.
And Bangladesh is full of problems, as you can imagine.
And when I went back after finishing my PhD here, it was
extreme kind of problems in the country.
And I felt that I'm a lucky person, that I'm from
Bangladesh, I was born in Bangladesh.
It has so many problems.
If you lift a finger, you can touch hundreds of problems
right around you.
And that's exciting for a young person to look at those
problems and see what I can do about it.
There are so many of them, I can do something about it.
And I wonder, if I was born in a country where there's no problem, what would happen to me?
Every time I think about it, I feel I'll be bored to death.
I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
There's no problem.
So this is how I reacted to it, and I didn't wait for any pre-packaged solutions.
I always try to do in my own way. I look at a problem. I try to figure out the solution on my own in my own way.
I didn't wait for anybody else to help me. When I saw the problem in the village about the loan sharking,
it's a kind of age-old problem everywhere in the region, everywhere in the world.
But nobody seemed to do anything about it. And I see face to face in a village next door to the university campus.
Suddenly it occurred to me I can do something about it.
