Jimmy Kimmel started out wanting to make people laugh. He hosted game shows, did stand-up comedy, produced content, and appeared in films. Further, he’s been a voice in animated films; basically been everywhere in entertainment, doing comedy in every format you can think of. The artist has spent over two decades behind the desk of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, making millions of people laugh every single night.With every project, every passing year, he gained both experience and wisdom. It sometimes reflects in the quotes he said. For instance, once, Jimmy Kimmel stood in front of future doctors and said the one thing every person in that room needed to hear: “Some people, of course, you won’t be able to save, but every day you can actively and specifically make this world a better place”.
Quote of the day by Jimmy Kimmel
“Some people, of course, you won’t be able to save, but every day you can actively and specifically make this world a better place.”Kimmel shared these words in a speech directed at future doctors, people about to enter a profession dedicated to helping others. He gave this speech at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in May 2019. He wasn’t trying to be funny. He was being direct about what he’s learned. That you can’t fix everything. You can’t save everyone. But that doesn’t mean you do nothing. Every single day, you have a choice about whether you’re going to try to make things better or not.
What does it actually mean?
It is a release from the pressure of perfection. The idea that you have to fix everything, save everyone, and leave no problem unsolved is one of the heaviest things a person can carry. And for people who go into medicine, into care, into any profession built around helping others, that pressure can become the thing that quietly breaks them.What Jimmy Kimmel is saying is that you cannot save everyone. But you can do something specific and real every single day that makes things better than they were. That is not a consolation. That is the actual job. And done consistently, with intention, it adds up to something that matters far more than any single heroic moment ever could.
