Mr. Holland had a profound influence on my life and on a lot of lives I know. But I have a feeling that he considers a great part of his own life misspent. Rumor had it he was always working on this symphony of his. And this was going to make him famous, rich, probably both. But Mr. Holland isn't rich and he isn't famous, at least not outside of our little town. So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure. But he would be wrong, because I think that he's achieved a success far beyond riches and fame. Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony Mr. Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. We are the music of your life

Mr Holland had a profound influence on my life
00:00:05.862 --> 00:00:07.847
On a lot of lives I know
00:00:07.872 --> 00:00:09.854
And yet I get the feeling
00:00:09.875 --> 00:00:15.999
that he considers a great part of his own life misspent
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:19.211
Rumor had it he was always working on this symphony of his
00:00:19.212 --> 00:00:22.177
and this was going to make him famous rich
00:00:22.178 --> 00:00:24.656
Probably both
00:00:24.657 --> 00:00:26.709
But Mr Holland isn't rich
00:00:26.071 --> 00:00:30.999
and he isn't famous
00:00:30.029 --> 00:00:33.398
at least not outside of our little town
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.155
So it might be easy for him to think himself a failure
00:00:38.156 --> 00:00:41.705
And he would be wrong
00:00:41.706 --> 00:00:46.012
because I think he's achieved a success far beyond riches and fame
00:00:47.003 --> 00:00:49.998
Look around you
00:00:49.003 --> 00:00:55.997
There is not a life in this room that you have not touched
00:00:55.001 --> 00:01:00.622
And each one of us is a better person because of you
00:01:00.623 --> 00:01:03.066
We are your symphony Mr Holland
00:01:03.661 --> 00:01:07.479
We are the melodies and the notes of your opus
00:01:07.048 --> 00:01:10.137
And we are the music of your life
