9. He Gives Motivational Speeches All Over The World
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMbMF0_1ylU Andrew W.K. is a very positive person. Take one look at his Twitter feed, and youll soon realise that something like PARTY TIP: Theres absolutely no reason why today cant be the greatest day weve ever had is pretty representative of what he likes to tweet on a daily basis. What you may not have realised is that hes taken this zeal, refined it and become one of the most sought-after motivational speakers out there. Hes spoken to Bronies, academics and even given keynotes at both CMJ Music Festival and SXSW. It all started in 2005, when he went on a US university tour, doling out advice and tips to students all across the US, with some events lasting over six hours. Two years later his non-musical output was featured in the New York Times, and in 2008 he was invited onto Late Night with Conan OBrien to discuss his self-help work. In 2012 he spoke at the My Little Pony Convention, as part of a panel called In The Flesh: What Would Pinkie Pie Do?
In it he talked about how to give yourself a DIY tattoo, shot confetti from a party cannon, and even told the audience they were a forward-thinking, advanced movement that is ahead of the curve." Then last year, he was announced as a guest lecturer at Oxford University, delivering a speech titled Andrew W.K. and The Philosophy of Partying, which was received very well indeed. Its one thing being confident that everything in life has the power to be amazing. Its quite another to take that energy and turn it into something which can have such a life-affirming effect on people, but somehow Andrew W.K. has achieved just that.
