The 43-year-old actor delivered his virtual speech with humor, of course. Kitsilano Secondary School graduates had learned the some life lessons like the value of compassion as told by the Hollywood actor.

“Whether it’s for youself, for someone else – especially for someone else – is good,” Ryan said.

For Ryan, virtues like empathy and compassion will allow a person to fully understand how life works. “To my surprise, this has made me money, friends, priceless memories. It has allowed me to fully accept and provide love. It’s helped me recognize mistakes that I’ve made and learn from them. Above all, it made me happy,” he added.
