It’s fairly safe to say that viewers don’t tune in to the Teen Choice Awards in hopes of hearing incredibly insightful advice about the importance hard work, perseverance and dreaming big — but that’s exactly what they got from Ashton Kutcher this year.
After receiving the “Ultimate Choice Award” at the 2013 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night, Kutcher began by revealing that his real first name is actually “Chris.” He then launched on a surprising diatribe about the three most important things he learned before he was known as Ashton.
“I believe that opportunity looks a lot like hard work,” Kutcher began with his first point. “When I was 13, I had my first job with my dad carrying shingles up to the roof, and then I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant, and then I got a job in a grocery store deli, and then I got a job at a factory sweeping Cheerio dust off the ground.”

can't stand this guy
"Be smart, be thoughtful and be generous.”
Wonder if he was thinking about that while he cheated on his older wife and benefiting from her previous success as he left her for a younger, "sexier" woman?
He's channeling steve jobs.

why you wanna insult Mr. Jobs like that? It's bad enough he gets to make pretend he is smart like Jobs was.
Ya'll will just attack anyone for not being up to your snuff. A lot of kids pay attention to him.
Even if he inspired just one kid, that's more than any of you are doing.
Steve Jobs had smarts,but he also had vision.George Orwell vision.
OK...first..don't see anything wrong with encouraging children to do more and sit in self pity less. Second... learned this morning on CBS that Miley Cyrus is pushing a drug known as "Molly" in her nasty music videos. As a parent and grandparent I urge all responsible adults to rally around something important like stopping all the worship of people like Miley Cyrus by out youth. He demographic is 8 - 15. If you have a child in that age bracket please stress that this is an example of a child gone wrong. Be afraid...be very afraid...but not of what someone did in the past but what is going on now.
