"There are few things more inspiring than seeing Jennifer Lee, first female director of an animated film at Disney (ever!), have such massive success, and for one of the best movies ever, Frozen! So it makes complete sense that she would give the commencement speech at her alma mater, the University of New Hampshire. And her words you definitely want to hear: &amp;quot;When you are free from self-doubt, you fail better. You accept criticism and listen,&amp;quot; Lee told grads. &amp;quot;If I learned one thing, it is that self-doubt is one of the most destructive forces. It makes you defensive instead of open, reactive instead of active. Self-doubt is consuming and cruel and my hope today is that we can all collectively agree to ban it.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If the first draft of Frozen was the one we made, if I had been too defensive to listen to the notes and criticisms and wasted my time trying to prove that I was good enough instead of doing what the film needed, it wouldn&amp;#039;t be Frozen and I wouldn&amp;#039;t be standing here today,&amp;quot; she continued.  &amp;quot;If you can learn to not take it personally, you&amp;#039;ll be able to listen to constructive criticism and find it inspiring. It might motivate you and show you that you are capable of far more than you ever imagined.&amp;quot; Ending the speech on a powerful note, Lee added, &amp;quot;Please know, from here on out, you are enough and, dare I say, more than enough.&amp;quot; If we aren&amp;#039;t already jealous enough that this incredibly talented director spoke to the graduates at UNH, the entire crowd was also led to sing their own adaptation of Frozen&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Let It Go&amp;quot; before Lee began her speech. Hello, coolest commencement service EVER! Watch Lee&amp;#039;s entire speech in the video below!
