Based on the graduation speech by Rik Mayall after he was awarded his honorary doctorate at Exeter University in 2008.

RIP Rik Mayall.

He will always be one of my favourite comedy actors — both Tassia and I love him in Bottom, Young Ones and Man Down — we actually have these mantras framed in our house, right by the front door, to keep us motivated.

They’re inspirational words to live by, for people from all walks of life.

I thoroughly recommend watching the video whenever you need a bit of a push.

Key takeaway:
Never forget: love is the answer.
