耶鲁校长毕业演讲

耶鲁校长毕业演讲尊敬的各位教职员工、亲爱的同学们:大家好!首先,我要对同学们的顽强拼搏和艰苦付出表示由衷的敬意与祝贺。

我们即将舍弃熟悉的校园,迎接更加广阔的人生舞台,今天,我想和大家分享一些关于人生的思考。

人生犹如一条长长的旅程,有时充满阳光与欢乐,有时又阴云密布,甚至黑暗无边。

但无论何时,我们都要勇往直前,积极面对。

毕业并不是终点,而是一个新的起点。

在人生的道路上,我们会遇到各种各样的挑战,但正是这些挑战使得人生更加有意义。

首先,我们要有梦想。

梦想是人生的指南针,是我们前行的动力。

耶鲁大学的校训“Lux et veritas”即“光明与真理”,为我们指明了前进的方向。

我们要有志向,追求光明,追求真理。

无论是成为一名科学家、艺术家还是社会活动家,我们都要坚持自己的梦想,不断追求进步和创新。

同时,我们要保持好奇心。

好奇心是人类进步的源泉,它驱使我们不断地思考、探索和学习。

苹果掉在牛顿头上,爱因斯坦发现相对论,这些都是好奇心的驱动下发生的伟大发现。

人生中的每一次机遇都是一扇大门,我们要敢于推开它,去发现新的世界,去实现自己的梦想。

同样重要的是,我们要保持坚持不懈的努力。

人生没有捷径可走,只有不断地付出和努力,才能取得成功。

当我们面临困难和挫折时,我们要学会坚持,不轻易放弃。

只有在坚持中,我们才能克服困难,取得真正的成长和进步。

最后,我们要珍惜友谊。

在耶鲁的时光里,我们结交了一生中的朋友,他们陪伴我们一起成长、一起学习,给予我们爱与支持。

这些友谊将伴随我们一生,无论何时何地,我们都要珍惜友谊,彼此支持、鼓励和帮助。

在这个喜悦而忧伤的日子里,我想对你们说:无论将来的道路如何曲折,无论前方的困难如何丛生,你们都不要害怕,勇敢地面对它们。

你们是耶鲁的骄傲,你们有着无尽的潜力和创造力。

相信自己,相信自己的能力,我相信,你们一定会取得辉煌的成就。

最后,我祝愿每一位毕业生都能在人生的旅途中找到属于自己的光明与真理,创造出属于自己的更加辉煌的未来。

Remarks by the Vice President at Yale University Class Day Yale UniversityNew Haven, Connecticut2:55 P.M. EDTTHE VICE PRESIDENT: Hello, Yale! (Applause.) Great to see you all. (Applause.) Thank you very, very much.Jeremy and Kiki, the entire Class of 2019, congratulations and thank you for inviting me to be part of this speci al day. You’re talented. You’ve worked hard, and you’ve earned this day.Mr. President, faculty, staff, it’s an honor to be here with all of you.My wife teaches full-time. I want you to know that -- at a community college, and has attended 8,640 commencements and/or the similar versions of Class Day, and I know they can hardly wait for the speaker to finish. (Laughter.) But I’ll do my best as quickly as I can.To the parents, grandparents, siblings, family members, the Class of 2019 —- congratulations. I know how proud you must be. But, the Class of 2019, before I speak to you —- please stand and applaud the ones who loved you no matter what you’re wearing on your head and who really made this day happen. (Laughter and applause.) I promise you all this is a bigger day for them than it is for you. (Laughter.)When President Obama asked me to be his Vice President, I said I only had two conditions: One, I wouldn’t wear any funnyhats, even on Class Day. (Laughter.) And two, I wouldn’t change my brand. (Applause.)Now, look, I realize no one ever doubts I mean what I say, the problem occasionally is I say all that I mean. (Laughter.) I have a bad reputation for being straight. Sometimes an inappropriate times. (Laughter.) So here it goes. Let’s get a couple thin gs straight right off the bat: Corvettes are better than Porsches; they're quicker and they corner as well. (Laughter and applause.) And sorry, guys, a cappella is not better than rock and roll. (Laughter and applause.) And your pundits are better than Was hington pundits, although I’ve noticed neither has any shame at all. (Laughter and applause.) And all roads lead to Toads? Give me a break. (Laughter and applause.) You ever tried it on Monday night? (Laughter.) Look, it’s tough to end a great men’s basket ball and football season. One touchdown away from beating Harvard this year for the first time since 2019 -—so close to something you’ve wanted for eight years. I can only imagine how you feel. (Laughter.) I can only imagine. (Applause.) So close. So close.But I got to be honest with you, when the invitation came, I was flattered, but it caused a little bit of a problem in my extended family. It forced me to face some hard truths. My son, Beau, the attorney general of Delaware, my daughter, Ashley Biden, runs a nonprofit for criminal justice in the state, they both went to Penn. My two nieces graduated from Harvard, one an all-American. All of them think my being here was a very bad idea. (Laughter.)On the other hand, my other son, Hunter, who heads the World Food Program USA, graduated from Yale Law School. (Applause.) Now, he thought it’s a great idea. But then again,law graduates always think all of their ideas are great ideas. (Laughter.)By the way, I’ve had a lot of law graduates from Yale work for me. That's not too far from the truth. But anyway, look, the truth of the matter is that I have a lot of staff that are Yale graduates, several are with me today. They thought it was a great idea that I speak here.As a matter of fact, my former national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, who is teaching here at Yale Law School, trained in international relations at Yale College, edited the Yale Daily News, and graduated from Harvard -- excuse me, Freudian slip -- Yale Law School. (Laughter.) You’re lucky to have him. He’s a brilliant and decent and honorable man. And I miss him. And we miss him as my national security advisor.But he’s not the only one. My deputy national security advisor, Jeff Prescott, started and ran the China Law Center at Yale Law School. My Middle East policy advisor and foreign policy speechwriter, Dan Benaim, who is with me, took Daily Themes -— got a B. (Laughter.) Now you know why I go off script so much. (Laughter and applause.)Look, at a Gridiron Dinner not long ago, the President said, I -- the President -- “I am learning to speak without a teleprompter, Joe is learning to speak with one.” (Laughter.) But if you looked at my speechwriters, you know why.And the granddaughter of one of my dearest friends in life -— a former Holocaust survivor, a former foreign policy advisor, a former Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Congressman Tom Lantos -—is graduating today. Mercina, congratulations, kiddo. (Applause.) Where are you? You are the sixth -- she’s the sixth sibling in her immediate family tograduate from Yale. Six out of 11, that's not a bad batting average. (Laughter.) I believe it’s a modern day record for the number of kids who went to Y ale from a single family.And, Mercina, I know that your mom, Little Annette is here. I don't know where you are, Annette. But Annette was part of the first class of freshman women admitted to Yale University. (Applause.)And her grandmother, Annette, is also a Holocaust survivor, an amazing woman; and both I’m sure wherev er they are, beaming today. And I know one more thing, Mercina, your father and grandfather are looking down, cheering you on.I’m so happy to be here on your day and all of your day. It’s good to know there’s one Yalie who is happy I’m being here -- be he re, at least one. (Laughter.) On “Overheard at Yale,” on the page, one student reported another student saying: I had a dream that I was Vice President and was with the President, and we did the disco funk dance to convince the Congress to restart the government. (Laughter.)Another student commented, Y’all know Biden would be hilarious, get funky. (Laughter.)Well, my granddaughter, Finnegan Biden, whose dad went here, is with me today. When she saw that on the speech, I was on the plane, Air Force Two coming up, she said, Pop, it would take a lot more than you and the President doing the disco funk dance. The Tea Party doesn't even know what it is. (Laughter.) Look, I don't know about that. But I’m just glad there’s someone -- just someone -- who dreams of being Vice President. (Laughter and applause.) Just somebody. I never had that dream. (Laughter.) For the press out there, that's a joke.Actually, being Vice President to Barack Obama has beentruly a great honor. We both enjoy getting out of the White House to talk to folks in the real America -— the kind who know what it means to struggle, to work hard, to shop at Kiko Milano. (Laughter and applause.) Great choice. (Laughter.)I just hope to hell the same people responsible for Kiko’s aren’t in charge of naming the two new residential colleges. (Laughter and applause.)Now, look, folks, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I should day to you today, but the more I thought about it, I thought that any Class Day speech is likely to be redundant. You already heard from Jessie J at Spring Fling. (Laughter.) So what in the hell could I possibly say. (Laughter.)Look, I’m deeply honored that Jeremy and Kiki selected me.I don't know how the hell you trusted them to do that. (Laughter.)I hope you agree with their choice. Actually I hope by the end of this speech, they agree with their choice. (Laughter.)In their flattering invitation letter, they asked me to bring along a sense of humor, speak about my commitment to public service and family, talk about resiliency, compassion, and leadership in a changing world. Petty tall order. (Laughter.) I probably already flunked the first part of the test.But with the rest let me say upfront, and I mean this sincerely, there’s nothing particularly unique about me. W ith regard to resilience and compassion, there are countless thousands of people, maybe some in the audience, who’ve suffered through personal losses similar to mine or much worse with much less support to help them get through it and much less reason to want to get through it.It’s not that all that difficult, folks, to be compassionate when you’ve been the beneficiary of compassion in your lowestmoments not only from your family, but from your friends and total strangers. Because when you know how much it meant to you, you know how much it mattered. It’s not hard to be compassionate.I was raised by a tough, compassionate Irish lady named Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden. And she taught all of her children that, but for the grace of God, there go you -- but for the grace of God, there go you.And a father who lived his motto that, family was the beginning, the middle, and the end. And like many of you and your parents, I was fortunate. I learned early on what I wanted to do, what fulfilled me the most, what made me happy -—my family, my faith, and being engaged in the public affairs that gripped my generation and being inspired by a young President named Kennedy -- civil rights, the environment, trying to end an incredibly useless and divisive war, Vietnam.The truth is, though, that neither I, nor anyone else, can tell you what will make you happy, help you find success.You each have different comfort levels. Everyone has different goals and aspirations. But one thing I’ve observed, one thing I know, an expression my dad would use often, is real. He used to say, it’s a lucky man or woman gets up in the morning -- and I mean this sincerely. It was one of his expressions. It’s a lucky man or woman gets up in the morning, puts both feet on the floor, knows wh at they’re about to do, and thinks it still matters.I’ve been lucky. And my wish for all of you is that not only tomorrow, but 20 and 40 and 50 years from now, you’ve found that sweet spot, that thing that allows you to get up in the morning, put both feet on the floor, go out and pursue what youlove, and think it still matters.Some of you will go to Silicon Valley and make great contributions to empower individuals and societies and maybe even design a life-changing app, like how to unsubscribe to Obama for America email list -- (laughter) -- the biggest “pan-list” of all times.Some of you will go to Wall Street and big Wall Street law firms, government and activism, Peace Corps, Teach for America. You’ll become doctors, researchers, journalists, artist s, actors, musicians. Two of you -— one of whom was one of my former interns in the White House, Sam Cohen, and Andrew Heymann —- will be commissioned in the United States Navy. Congratulations, gentlemen. We're proud of you. (Applause.) But all of you have one thing in common you will all seek to find that sweet spot that satisfies your ambition and success and happiness.I’ve met an awful lot of people in my career. And I’ve noticed one thing, those who are the most successful and the happiest -- whether they’re working on Wall Street or Main Street, as a doctor or nurse, or as a lawyer, or a social worker, I’ve made certain basic observation about the ones who from my observation wherever they were in the world were able to find that sweet spot between success and happiness. Those who balance life and career, who find purpose and fulfillment, and where ambition leads them.There’s no silver bullet, no single formula, no reductive list. But they all seem to understand that happiness and success result from an accumulation of thousands of little things built on character, all of which have certain common features in my observation.First, the most successful and happiest people I’ve known understand that a good life at its core is about being personal. It’s about being engaged. It’s about being there for a friend or a colleague when they're injured or in an accident, remembering the birthdays, congratulating them on their marriage, celebrating the birth of their child. It’s about being available to them when t hey're going through personal loss. It’s about loving someone more than yourself, as one of your speakers have already mentioned. It all seems to get down to being personal.That's the stuff that fosters relationships. It’s the only way to breed trust in everything you do in your life.Let me give you an example. After only four months in the United States Senate, as a 30-year-old kid, I was walking through the Senate floor to go to a meeting with Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. And I witnessed another newly elected senator, the extremely conservative Jesse Helms, excoriating Ted Kennedy and Bob Dole for promoting the precursor of the Americans with Disabilities Act. But I had to see the Leader, so I kept walking.When I walked into Mansfield’s office, I mu st have looked as angry as I was. He was in his late ‘70s, lived to be 100. And he looked at me, he said, what’s bothering you, Joe?I said, that guy, Helms, he has no social redeeming value. He doesn't care -- I really mean it -- I was angry. He doesn't care about people in need. He has a disregard for the disabled.Majority Leader Mansfield then proceeded to tell me that three years earlier, Jesse and Dot Helms, sitting in their living room in early December before Christmas, reading an ad in the Raleigh Observer, the picture of a young man, 14-years-old with braces on his legs up to both hips, saying, all I want is someone to love me and adopt me. He looked at me and he said, and theyadopted him, Joe.I felt like a fool. He then went on to say, Joe, it’s always appropriate to question another man’s judgment, but never appropriate to question his motives because you simply don't know his motives.It happened early in my career fortunately. From that moment on, I tried to look past the caricatures of my colleagues and try to see the whole person. Never once have I questioned another man’s or woman’s motive. And something started to change. If you notice, every time there’s a crisis in the Congress the last eight years, I get sent to the Hill to deal with it. It’s because every one of those men and women up there -- whether they like me or not -- know that I don't judge them for what I think they're thinking.Because when you question a man’s motive, when you say they're acting out of greed, they're in the pocket of an interest group, et cetera, it’s awful hard to reach consensus. It’s awful hard having to reach across the table and shake hands. No matter how bitterly you disagree, though, it is always possible if you question judgment and not motive.Senator Helms and I continued to have profound political differences, but early on we both became the most powerful members of the Senate running the Foreign Relations Committee, as Chairmen and Ranking Members. But something happened, the mutual defensiveness began to dissipate. And as a result, we began to be able to work together in the interests of the country. And as Chairman and Ranking Member, we passed some of the most significant legislation passed in the last 40 years.All of which he opposed -- from paying tens of millions of dollars in arrearages to an institution, he despised, the UnitedNations -- he was part of the so-called “black helicopter” crowd; to passing the chemical weapons treaty, constantly referring to, “we’ve never lost a war, and we’ve nev er won a treaty,” which he vehemently opposed. But we were able to do these things not because he changed his mind, but because in this new relationship to maintain it is required to play fair, to be straight. The cheap shots ended. And the chicanery to keep from having to being able to vote ended -- even though he knew I had the votes.After that, we went on as he began to look at the other side of things and do some great things together that he supported like PEPFAR -— which by the way, George W. Bush deserves an overwhelming amount of credit for, by the way, which provided treatment and prevention HIV/AIDS in Africa and around the world, literally saving millions of lives.So one piece of advice is try to look beyond the caricature of the person with whom you have to work. Resist the temptation to ascribe motive, because you really don’t know -— and it gets in the way of being able to reach a consensus on things that matter to you and to many other people.Resist the temptation of your generation to let “network” become a verb that saps the personal away, that blinds you to the person right in front of you, blinds you to their hopes, their fears, and their burdens.Build real relationships -— even with people with whom you vehemently disagree. You’ll not o nly be happier. You will be more successful.The second thing I’ve noticed is that although you know no one is better than you, every other persons is equal to you and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.I’ve worked with eight Presidents, hund reds of Senators. I’ve met every major world leader literally in the last 40 years. And I’ve had scores of talented people work for me. And here’s what I’ve observed: Regardless of their academic or social backgrounds, those who had the most success and who were most respected and therefore able to get the most done were the ones who never confused academic credentials and societal sophistication with gravitas and judgment.Don’t forget about what doesn’t come from this prestigious diploma -- the heart to k now what’s meaningful and what’s ephemeral; and the head to know the difference between knowledge and judgment.But even if you get these things right, I’ve observed that most people who are successful and happy remembered a third thing: Reality has a way of intruding.I got elected in a very improbable year. Richard Nixon won my state overwhelmingly. George McGovern was at the top of the ticket. I got elected as the second-youngest man in the history of the United States to be elected, the stuff that provides and fuels raw ambition. And if you’re not careful, it fuels a sense of inevitability that seeps in. But be careful. Things can change in a heartbeat. I know. And so do many of your parents.Six weeks after my election, my whole world was altered forever. While I was in Washington hiring staff, I got a phone call. My wife and three children were Christmas shopping, a tractor trailer broadsided them and killed my wife and killed my daughter. And they weren’t sure that my sons would live.Many people have gone through things like that. But because I had the incredible good fortune of an extended family, grounded in love and loyalty, imbued with a sense of obligationimparted to each of us, I not only got help. But by focusing on my sons, I found my redemption.I can remember my mother -- a sweet lady -- looking at me, after we left the hospital, and saying, Joey, out of everything terrible that happens to you, something good will come if you look hard enough for it. She was right.The incredible bond I have with my children is the gift I’m not sure I would have had, had I not been through what I went through. Who knows whether I would have been able to appreciate at that moment in my life, the heady moment in my life, what my first obligation was.So I began to commute -- never intending to stay in Washington. And that's the God’s truth. I was supposed to be sworn in with everyone else that year in ’73, but I wouldn’t go down. So Mansfield thought I’d change my mind and not come, and he sent up the secretary of the Senate to swear me in, in the hospital room with my children.And I began to commute thinking I was only going to stay a little while -- four hours a day, every day -- from Washington to Wilmington, which I’ve done for over 37 years. I did it because I wanted to be able to kiss them goodnight and kiss them in the morning the next day. No, “Ozzie and Harriet” breakfast or great familial thing, just climb in bed with them. Because I came to realize that a child can hold an important thought, something they want to say to their mom and dad, maybe for 12 or 24 hours, and then it’s gone. And when it’s gone, it’s gone. And it all adds up.But looking back on it, the truth be told, the real reason I went home every night was that I needed my children more than they needed me. Some at the time wrote and suggested thatBiden can't be a serious national figure. If he was, he’d stay in Washington more, attend to more important events. It’s obvious he’s not serious. He goes home after the last vote.But I realized I didn’t miss a thing. Ambition is really important. You need it. And I certainly have never lacked in having ambition. But ambition without perspective can be a killer.I know a lot of you already understand this. Some of you really had to struggle to get here. And some of you have had to struggle to stay here. And some of your families made enormous sacrifices for this great privilege. And many of you faced your own crises, some unimaginable.But the truth is all of you will go through something like this. You’ll wrestle with these kinds of choices every day. But I’m here to tell you, you can find the balance between ambition and happiness, what will make you really feel fulfilled. And along the way, it helps a great deal if you can resist the temptation to rationalize.My chief of staff for over 25 years, one of the finest men I’ve ever known, even though he graduated from Penn, and subsequently became a senator from the state of Delaware, Senator Ted Kaufman, every new hire, that we’d hire, the last t hing he’d tell them was, and remember never underestimate the ability of the human mind to rationalize. Never underestimate the ability of the human mind to rationalize -- her birthday really doesn’t matter that much to her, and this business trip is just a great opportunity; this won’t be his last game, and besides, I’d have to take the redeye to get back. We can always take this family vacation another time. There’s plenty of time.For your generation, there’s an incredible amount of pressure on all of you to succeed, particularly now that you haveaccomplished so much. You’re whole generation faces this pressure. I see it in my grandchildren who are honors students at other Ivy universities right now. You race to do what others think is right in high school. You raced through the bloodsport of college admissions. You raced through Yale for the next big thing. And all along, some of you compare yourself to the success of your peers on , , Linked-In, Twitter.Today, some of you may have found that you slipped into the self-referential bubble that validates certain choices. And the bubble expands once you leave this campus, the pressures and anxiousness, as well -- take this job, make that much money, live in this place, hang out with people like you, take no real risks and have no real impact, while getting paid for the false sense of both.But resist that temptation to rationalize what others view is the right choice for you -— instead of what you feel in your gut is the right choice —- that’s your North Star. Trust it. Follow it. You're an incredible group of young women and men. And that's not hyperbole. You're an incredible group.Let me conclude with this. I’m not going to moralize about to whom much is given, much is expected, because most of you have mad e of yourself much more than what you’ve been given. But now you are in a privileged position. You’re part of an exceptional generation and doors will open to you that will not open to others. My Yale Law School grad son graduated very well from Yale Law School. My other son out of loyalty to his deceased mother decided to go to Syracuse Law School from Penn. They're a year and a day apart in their age. The one who graduated from Yale had doors open to him, the lowest salary offered back in the early ‘90s w as $50,000 more than a federal judge made. My other son, it was a struggle -- equally as bright, went on to beelected one of the youngest attorney generals in the history of the state of Delaware, the most popular public official in my state. Big headline after the 2019 election, “Biden Most Popular Man in Delaware -- Beau.” (Laughter.)And as your parents will understand, my dad’s definition of success is when you look at your son and daughter and realize they turned out better than you, and they did. But you’ll have opportunities. Make the most of them and follow your heart. You have the intellectual horsepower to make things better in the world around you.You’re also part of the most tolerant generation in history.I got roundly criticized because I could not remain quiet anymore about gay marriage. The one thing I was certain of is all of your generation was way beyond that point. (Applause.)Here’s something else I observed -- intellectual horsepower and tolerance alone does not make a generation great: unless you can break out of the bubble of your own making -—technologically, geographically, racially, and socioeconomically -— to truly connect with the world around you. Because it matters.No matter what your material success or personal circumstance, it matters. You can't breathe fresh air or protect your children from a changing climate no matter what you make. If your sister is the victim of domestic violence, you are violated. If your brother can’t marry the man he loves, you are lessened. And if your best friend has to worry about being racially profiled, you live in a circumstance not worthy of us. (Applause.) It matters.So be successful. I sincerely hope some of you become millionaires and billionaires. I mean that. But engage the world around you because you will be more successful and happier. And you can absolutely succeed in life without sacrificing yourideals or your commitments to others and family. I’m confident that you can do that, and I’m confident that this generation will do it more than any other.Look to your left, as they say, and look to your right. And remember how foolish the people next to you look -- (laughter) -- in those ridiculous hats. (Laughter.) That’s what I want you to remember. I mean this. Because it means you’ve le arned something from a great tradition.It means you’re willing to look foolish, you’re willing to run the risk of looking foolish in the service of what matters to you. And if you remember that, because some of the things your heart will tell you to do, will make you among your peers look foolish, or not smart, or not sophisticated. But we’ll all be better for people of your consequence to do it.That’s what I want you to most remember. Not who spoke at the day you all assembled on this mall. You’re a rema rkable class. I sure don't remember who the hell was my commencement speaker. (Laughter.) I know this is not officially commencement. But ask your parents when you leave here, who spoke at your commencement? It’s a commencement speaker aversion of a commen cement speaker’s fate to be forgotten. The question is only how quickly. But you’re the best in your generation. And that is not hyperbole. And you're part of a remarkable generation.And, you -- you’re on the cusp of some of the most astonishing breakthroughs in the history of mankind -—scientific, technological, socially —- that’s going to change the way you live and the whole world works. But it will be up to you in this changing world to translate those unprecedented capabilities into a greater measure of happiness and meaning -— not just for yourself, but for the world around you.And I feel more confident for my children and grandchildren knowing that the men and women who graduate here today, here and across the country, will be in their midst. That’s the honest truth. That's the God’s truth. That's my word as a Biden.Congratulations, Class of 2019. And may God bless you and may God protect our troops. Thank you.END。

Thank you. I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.谢谢大家。

很荣幸能和你们,来自世界最好大学之一的毕业生们,一块儿参加毕业典礼。

老实说,我大学没有毕业,今天恐怕是我一生中离大学毕业最近的一次了。

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.今天我想告诉大家来自我生活的三个故事。

没什么大不了的,只是三个故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.第一个故事,如何串连生命中的点滴。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife, except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We've got an unexpected baby boy. Do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.我在里得大学读了六个月就退学了,但是在18个月之后--我真正退学之前,我还常去学校。

随着中国的快速发展和中美合作的不断拓展,越来越多的美国人也把目光投向中国,更加关注中国的发展进步。

了解是信任的基础。

今天,我愿从中华文明历史流变和现实发展的角度,谈谈当代中国的发展战略和前进方向,希望有助于美国人民更全面、更深入地了解中国。

在5000多年的历史长河中,中华民族为人类文明进步作出了巨大贡献,同时也走过了曲折艰辛的道路。

特别是从1840年鸦片战争以来的160多年间,中国人民为摆脱积贫积弱的境遇,实现民族复兴,前仆后继,顽强斗争,使中华民族的命运发生了深刻变化。

95年前,中国人民通过辛亥革命推翻了统治中国几千年的君主专制制度,为中国的进步打开了闸门。

57年前,中国人民经过长期浴血奋斗实现了民族独立和人民解放,建立了人民当家作主的新中国。

28年前,中国人民开始了改革开放和现代化建设的伟大历史进程,经过艰苦创业取得了举世瞩目的巨大成就,从1978年到2005年,中国国内生产总值从1473亿美元增长到22257亿美元,进出口总额从206亿美元增长到14221亿美元,国家外汇储备从1.67亿美元增加到8189亿美元,农村贫困人口由2.5亿人减少到2300多万人。

2018年耶鲁大学校长毕业典礼演讲稿

2018年耶鲁大学校长毕业典礼演讲稿2018届的毕业生们,家长们和朋友们,很高兴与大家共同见证这个特别的日子。

今天是喜悦的一天,未来则充满希望。

现在,我将履行耶鲁大学光荣的传统:请在座的所有家长和朋友们起立,向我们2018届优秀的毕业生们致意;也请在座的2018届学子们起立,向所有成就你们达成今日里程碑的人们致敬。

谢谢大家!耶鲁大学校长毕业典礼震撼演讲:别让狭隘的朋友圈毁掉你的人生人们总是倾向于制定大量的计划。

有些是实用性的计划,比如订航班,租房子,思考毕业后在哪里生活、工作或学习。

还有一些是远大的抱负,展望未来的生活,以及未来几年筹划构筑的事业等。

我想分享的是Pauli Murray在1945年所写的关于她的志向。

那时,她还是一位年轻的律师和民权活动家。

“我要通过积极和包容的方式打破隔离,”Murray写道。

“当我的兄弟们试图画一个圈把我排除在外时,我会画一个更大的圈来包容他们。

他们为小团体的特权发言,而我为全人类争取权利。

”所以今天我想问你们:你会画多大的圈呢?你会画一个兼容并包、充满活力的圈?还是拉帮结派的团团伙伙?要实现兼容并包很难,但未来的回报巨大。

当你们即将离开校园时,我建议你们可以仿照Pauli Murray以及其他许多耶鲁毕业生的例子。

首先,要确保你画的圈足够大。

如今的世界,你可以在Twitter上拥有700位粉丝,也可以在Facebook上交1000位好友。

看起来拥有一个很大的圈并不是一件难事。

但如果你所谓的“朋友”都在分享相同的故事、类似的观点,那么你的世界可能很窄。

然而,一场与现实生活中6个朋友的谈话可能会获得更加丰富的想法和观点。

耶鲁大学校长毕业典礼震撼演讲:别让狭隘的朋友圈毁掉你的人生我在耶鲁大学的这些年,我很荣幸能够认识世界上最聪明的头脑。

我也了解到最伟大的学者们所画出的那些很大的圈。

他们博览群书,也对自己研究范围之外的想法颇感兴趣。

耶鲁大学毕业典礼演讲稿:突破人生的桎梏

耶鲁大学毕业典礼演讲稿:突破人生的桎梏

耶鲁大学毕业典礼演讲稿:突破人生的桎梏:我想向每一位耶鲁大学的毕业生表示祝贺。

你们完成了一段充满挑战的学习旅程,开始了人生新的篇章。

今天,我想与你们分享一些我的人生经验,和如何突破人生的桎梏。

我们每个人都有自己的人生规划。

无论是事业上的机会,还是日常生活中的选择,我们都面临着各种各样的选择和决策。

但是,有时候,我们似乎发现自己被一个又一个的桎梏绑住了。

这些桎梏可能是来自内心深处的恐惧,也可能是来自周围人的期待。

真正的自由需要我们去突破这些桎梏。

突破第一个桎梏:想要的职业毕业生们往往会感到迷茫,因为他们面临着选择自己未来职业的问题。

我们可能会被各种声音所困扰:亲友的期许、社会前景和自身兴趣点等等。

但是,如果你真正想要的不是这些遮住了你内心的声音,那么你永远也不会成为真正的自己。

在我大学时,我并没有想要走软件化学工程师这条职业路线。

但是,我的教练告诉我,这是我最好的选择。

那时我年轻,很难保持自己原本的热情。

我仍然在过去10年里为一个不是我内心所想做的职业而工作。

我一直没有尝试去追求自己真正的热情。

但是,我们必须要意识到,我们的人生是属于我们自己的。

我们需要勇敢地追求自己的热情,不断探索和发现,直到我们找到真正适合自己的事业方向。

突破第二个桎梏:舒适区每个人都有自己的舒适区,那些让我们感到安心、放心的地方,我们习惯于在这些地方徘徊,无法摆脱。

但是,这种习惯也让我们失去了机会去突破舒适区。

突破舒适区意味着我们需要尝试新的事物,挑战自己的极限和能力。

这些机会不仅可以带来新的成就和经验,更能让我们变得更加自信和坚强。

我曾经在一个从未接触过的领域里工作,这是一个完全陌生的环境,我需要学习大量的新知识和技能。

但是,这个机会也带来了很多机遇和奖励。

这让我突破了自己的舒适区,也实现了自己对未来的期许。

突破第三个桎梏:恐惧恐惧是一个普遍存在于人们心中的感觉。

我们害怕未来不稳定,害怕自己不够强大,害怕未来的挑战会让我们无法承受。

和平:中国传统政治文化之取向【内容提要】纵观中国几千年政治文化史,和平主义始终是贯穿其中的命脉与价值取向。

这亦可从马克斯·韦伯和罗素等西方大家的论著中窥见一斑。

这一取向是自然环境和社会环境因素共同培育与形塑的结果。

【关键词】传统政治和平文化环境我国著名散文家余秋雨先生,在对世界四大文明的发祥地考察后曾表达过这样一个观点:中华文明为什么没有像古埃及文明、古巴比伦文明那样,在时间和空间的无限中销声匿迹而绵延不绝、延展至今?其原因之一是整个社会没有形成一种远征的力量。

[1]近年来,随着中国国际地位的日益提高,海外出现了一种“中国威胁论”论调。

《大国的兴衰》一书的作者保罗·肯尼迪撰文,称全球化将使中国受益,反过来威胁美国的地位,“美国现在拥有不可撼动的世界霸主地位”,但“不能在本世纪续写荣耀”,理由是中国可能赶上来。

耶鲁大学商学院院长杰弗礼·加腾(Jeffrey Garten)在《商业周刊》上撰文指出:世界经济对中国这个“世界工厂”的依赖,已经到了危险的地步。

一旦中国经济受到战争、恐怖袭击、社会动乱、自然灾害的打击,美国经济的“生命线”就可能被掐断。

针对这一论点,一些中国学者也纷纷撰文指出:中国“是一个爱好和平的民族”,中国国势日盛,对他国的土地与资源并无染指之心,所想的只是维护本国的合法权益。

而且回顾历史,中国式的战略文化和战略思维,一直是指向和平的。

“亲邻善友,国之宝也。

”[2]和平主义精神便显而易见。

不过,这种和平主义的宣讲也招致了许多学者的反驳。

纵观整个中国历史,崇尚和平的事实固然很多,可相反的事实也不胜枚举。

许多研究中国文化的海外学者和西方学者,可以赞扬中国人的深刻、广阔、单纯、恬静、勤俭等美德,似乎还很少承认中国是一个和平之邦。

[3](P34)特别近代以来,中西双方的接触常常是通过战争形态表现出来的。

义和团运动之后,中国文化在西方所得的一点“好感”,被一扫而空,很多西方学者都认为中国是一个“野蛮”、“残忍”的民族。

新学期新开始,耶鲁大学迎来了新一届本科生,8月27日,校长彼得·沙洛维发表了演讲,用狐狸和刺猬的经典故事,向新生们分享了自己对于学习的理解,发人深省。

>>如何丰富多彩的度过你的留学生活?
演讲内容:
前序
各位同事、各位家长,尤其是2021届的本科新生们,大家早上好!欢迎你们!特别是马文(Marvin Chun),今年将正式担任本科生院院长一职。

几年前,我帮1982届耶鲁大学的一个朋友上了一门名叫“伟大的思想”的课(实际上是研讨会)。

每周,研讨会上的学生都会学习不同领域的知识,从不同领域理解何为“伟大的思想”。

学生的家庭作业就是观看不同专家的视频讲座,并读取主源资料。

然后,他们又聚集在一起,就“伟大的思想”进行新一轮的探讨。

到课程结束时,他们已经能非常熟悉艺术史、政治哲学、进化生物学等领域的主要内容与问题了。

我的朋友将这门课程所带来的教育影响,形容为“涉猎广泛但浅尝辄止。

”那年整个夏天我都在思考着“伟大的思想”,反思其课程目标,这让我想起了狐狸与刺猬的故事。

狐狸和刺猬的故事
公元前七世纪,希腊诗人阿尔奇洛克斯(Archilochus)提出,“狐狸知道很多的事,刺猬则只知道一件大事。


当受到威胁时,狐狸表现得非常灵活,它想到一个聪明的办法,能够灵活巧妙地去应对这件事情。

然而,当刺猬受到威胁时,它永远只会以一种方法来对应:卷成一个球。

狐狸机巧百出、通晓百科,而刺猬一计防御、见解深刻。

耶鲁大学校长彼得·苏必德寄语2020毕业生的演讲

 耶鲁大学校长彼得·苏必德寄语2020毕业生的演讲

Graduates of the Class of 2020, family members, and friends:It is a privilege to be able to speak with you, even in this unusual way.I know you would rather be on campus -- and I wish you could be herebut I am glad we can all do our part to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and stay healthy.Over the past several months, the novel coronavirus has spread around the globe, infecting millions and claiming far too many lives.It has come to nearly every community; it has come here, to Yale's doorstep. This crisis has been a wake-up call for all of us.It has stretched health care systems to the breaking point.It has threatened economies, both household and global.And, like many tragedies, it has exposed the vast gulf between the most fortunate and the most vulnerable.Long after the pandemic itself has subsided, we will need to commit ourselves to finding new and creative solutions to these long-term problems.It may be too early to say what we have learned from all of this.But at the least, we see more sharply than before our interdependence as a human community.Our deep levels of connection and need for one another are a weakness that infectious diseases exploit.But our interdependence is also a source of strength and vitality in uncertain times -- indeed, all the time.Many of us have found inspiration in the sacrifices of frontline hospital and health care workers; in the commitment of essential staff;and in the contributions of public health experts and legions of volunteers.All around us, we have seen ordinary people transformed into heroes.What does it mean to be called to heroism, to step out of your normal life and do something extraordinary?How do we know if we will respond to such a call?Perhaps the most famous story of this kind is the Parable of the Good Samaritan.You are probably familiar with it:A man is traveling along a road when he is attacked by robbers, who leave him for dead.Three men pass by: the first two, who are men of high standing, ignore the injured man.The third man -- a Samaritan, a social outcast -- stops to help.He tends to the dying man's wounds, puts him on his own donkey, and takes him to an inn, where he pays for his stay.He even tells the innkeeper he will come back and pay for anything else the man needs.The Samaritan is a true neighbor to the dying man, and he is the unexpected hero of the parable.One of the classic studies from my field of social psychology takes the Good Samaritan as its jumping off point.In the 1970s, two psychologists conducted an experiment to understand why people help -- or don't.They chose a group of seminary students who were studying to be ministers. The students were told they needed to go to a nearby building to prepare sermons on -- what else? -- the parable of the Good Samaritan.Then they were divided into three groups.The first group was told they had plenty of time before they needed to be at the other building.The second group was told they needed to hurry, or they would be late.The third group was told they were already late and really needed to hurry. So, we have all these different students on their way to work on their sermons, presumably with the Good Samaritan on their minds.But as they are walking between buildings, each encounters someone needing help -- actors, of course, but pretending to be very ill or hurt.In some cases, the actor was lying on the sidewalk, and the seminary students had to physically step around him in order to get by.The researchers wanted to know, who would stop to help?Well, not many. Although two thirds of the people who thought they were early stopped to help,fewer than half of those who were told they were just on time did so.Worst of all, only 10 percent of the seminary students who thought they were late took the time to check on the hurt person.That means 90 percent of those students thought it was more important to rush to work on their sermons -- about the Good Samaritanthan to take care of someone who was sick or hurt and alone.Maybe this was the real lesson of the parable.As the researchers pointed out, perhaps the first two men were not bad people; they just had busier schedules!2020届全体毕业生及其家人和朋友们:非常荣幸能在此给大家讲话,尽管方式不同于以往。

重要演讲:拜登副总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的讲稿

重要演讲:拜登副总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的讲稿

重要演讲:拜登副总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的讲稿2021年5月23日,美国副总统乔·拜登在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上发表了一场备受瞩目的演讲。

这场演讲不仅是对毕业生们的祝福和鼓舞,更是在这个充满挑战和变革的时代,对全世界的一个重要发声。

以下就是本文对这场演讲的分析和探讨。

演讲的内容围绕着“命运”,“自由”和“责任”这三个主题展开。

在一开始的部分,拜登副总统引用了美国前总统富兰克林·罗斯福的话来勉励毕业生们要勇敢地面对未来的挑战。

他说,“生活中有两种选择,一是追逐命运,二是捍卫自。

”毕业生们应该要有一个远大的目标和自信,勇敢面对未来的挑战;同时也不能忘记自己的使命,要保持独立思考的能力,勇敢表达自己的看法。

此外,拜登副总统还着重强调了“责任”的重要性。

他说,拥有自由是一种特权,而行使这种特权需要承担相应的责任。

他呼吁年轻人要担负起社会责任,为改变和进步而努力。

同时,他还提到了克服平凡和自身局限性的重要性。

他说,“可能你们中有些人后天不是最聪明的,也不是最有天赋的,但有一件事你们可以做到,那就是克服自己的平凡,成为努力的人。

”除此之外,拜登副总统还谈到了当前的一些热点问题。

他将目光投向了气候变化问题,呼吁大家要共同应对,他说,“我们可以将气候危机转变为一个巨大的机遇,但这需要全球各国的合作。

”他还提到了种族歧视和分裂的问题,呼吁大家要摒弃一切偏见和种族主义,以更加公正和平等的态度面对不同的文化和社会群体。

总之,这场演讲是一场关于人生担当和社会责任的呼吁,也是关于年轻人面临重重挑战时的鼓舞。

拜登副总统强调了“自由”、“责任”和“命运”,这三者缺一不可,都是推动社会前进和个人成长的重要因素。

我们应该要珍惜自由,肩负起自己的责任,朝着理想和使命奋斗。

在这个充满机遇和变革的时代,每个人都可以成为改变世界的力量。

耶鲁大学JeffreyEGarten主题演讲

耶鲁大学JeffreyEGarten主题演讲新浪科技讯 3月16日上午9时,主题为“龙腾盛世,成就卓著”的“IBM论坛2005”在北京召开。

根据介绍,此次论坛上,耶鲁大学管理学院院长Jeffrey E. Garten将应邀协同IBM大中华地区董事长兼首席执行总裁周伟焜与多家著名中国企业领导人、与近千位来自各行各业的企业决策者共同探讨与解读企业迎接当前挑战、拥抱机遇、成就卓著的未来之路。

下列为其演讲全文:Jeffrey E. Garten:非常感谢,首先我想说,今天我非常高兴来到中国,每次我到中国来,人们总是问我是不是第一次到中国。

我非常高兴地告诉大家,事实上八十年代中期我就来中国了。

我想我已经来过中国30多次了,每次我到中国都被这里所发生的变化,所取得的进步,与所表现出的一种力量感到惊奇。

在我看来,中国已经走上了一个不可逆转的事业,而且这个事业在世界上是非常令人敬佩的。

我总是感受每次到中国都是非常荣幸,而且受到了激励。

在下午的45分钟时间里,我要紧是要讲一下中国企业成为全球领导者的一些潜力。

毫无疑问地是,中国作为一个国家,在全球事物的方方面面正在发挥着很大的潜力,而且产生着巨大的影响,而且这种趋势将会继续进展下去。

我认为,中国的企业也不仅仅要在中国的市场上竞争取得胜利,同时,他们也要走向世界,在世界的市场上成功。

我们现在已经看到了这种趋势的开始,当然这仅仅是一个开端,这将是一个长远的历程,在这个历程当中也会遇到很多挑战。

我想讲一下,我想对领导这些企业走上这一阶段的企业的领导者们讲几句话。

首先,我想给大家讲一下这些企业真正具有竞争性,真正具有全球化的含义与背景。

首先,我们要看一下全球经济的进展情况,与全球化的深入。

我们现在已经都能够看到这一点。

我们经常使用“全球化”这个词,但是,目前的事实是,我们面临着很多的壁垒,包含贸易壁垒、信息壁垒、文化壁垒,这些壁垒从历史上把这些国家的分离开来,而这些壁垒正在不断消失,随着这些壁垒的消失我们才能实现全球化。

布什在耶鲁大学英语演讲稿:人人都可能当总统三篇

布什在耶鲁大学英语演讲稿:人人都可能当总统三篇布什在耶鲁大学英语演讲稿:人人都可能当总统尊敬的耶鲁大学校长、教授、学生和各位来宾:很荣幸能够站在耶鲁大学这个充满智慧和潜力的讲台上,与大家分享我的一些想法和经验。

作为前美国总统,我深知总统这个职位的重要性和责任。

但我也要告诉大家,人人都有可能成为总统。

首先,我想强调的是,总统不仅仅是一个职位,而是一种精神。

总统的责任是为国家和人民谋福利,为国家的繁荣和安全而努力。

这种精神不仅仅是出于职责,更是出于对人民的热爱和对国家的责任感。

因此,每个人都有可能成为总统,只要你愿意为国家和人民做出贡献,愿意承担起责任和压力。

其次,成为总统需要一定的素质和能力。

首先,一个好的总统需要有坚定的原则和价值观。

这些原则和价值观应该是为人民谋福利、维护公正和自由的。

其次,总统应该具备领导力和决策能力。

领导力是指能够鼓舞人心、激励团队并引领国家走向繁荣的能力。

决策能力则是指在复杂的国内外环境下做出明智的决策和抉择。

最后,总统还应该具备良好的沟通能力和人际关系。

一个好的总统应该能够与各方利益相关者进行有效的沟通和合作,以实现国家的目标和利益。

然而,成为总统并不是一件容易的事情。

这需要长期的努力和准备。

作为一名学生,你们应该珍惜大学时光,努力学习知识和技能。

同时,你们也应该培养自己的领导力和决策能力,参与学生组织和社会实践活动,锻炼自己的能力和经验。

最后,我想告诉大家,人人都有可能成为总统,但并不是每个人都适合成为总统。

成为总统需要经历艰苦的竞选过程和巨大的压力。

而且,一个好的总统需要有信念和勇气去面对挑战和困难。

因此,我希望大家在选择自己的人生道路时,要根据自己的兴趣和能力做出明智的选择,并为之努力奋斗。

在这个充满机遇和挑战的时代,我们需要更多有能力、有担当、有智慧的人才来领导国家。

我相信,只要我们努力学习和成长,每个人都有可能成为总统,为国家和人民做出贡献。

谢谢大家!布什在耶鲁大学英语演讲稿:人人都可能当总统尊敬的耶鲁大学师生们,大家好!我非常荣幸能够站在这个充满智慧和潜力的讲台上,与大家分享一些关于总统职位的想法。

耶鲁大学校长莱文在清华百年校庆大会上的讲话[合集]

耶鲁大学校长莱文在清华百年校庆大会上的讲话[合集]第一篇:耶鲁大学校长莱文在清华百年校庆大会上的讲话耶鲁大学校长莱文在清华百年校庆大会上的讲话胡锦涛主席、顾秉林校长、各位嘉宾、老师们,同学们、校友们、朋友们:我很荣幸代表今天出席大会的各国大学带来对清华百年庆典的祝贺,更有幸的是今天将和中国国家领导人一起见证世界高校对清华的高度认可。

100年来,清华大学在中国的发展历程中扮演了不可或缺的角色。

在清华17万毕业生中,许多人成为了各行各业的领军人物,这其中有中国国家领导人,首获诺贝尔奖的两位华人杨振宁和李政道先生也曾在清华学习,清华培养的钱学森、朱光亚、钱三强等著名学者为中国的科学事业发展作出了突出贡献。

耶鲁引以为荣的是,在清华大学建校初期,我们两校就有了紧密联系,清华的前五任校长中有四位都曾在耶鲁学习过。

任何到访清华的人都会对清华的快速发展留下深刻印象。

清华在理学、工程、环境和可持续设计方面世界闻名,获得国家科技成果奖的数量一直位居中国高校榜首,其在培养商界和公共政策领袖人物方面的创业努力也令人钦佩。

清华大学也积极与世界各个国家和地区高校建立合作关系,目前有27个与海外大学建立的联合研究中心。

此外,清华还与丰田、联合技术公司和波音公司等30多家跨国企业建立了联合研究中心。

很幸运,耶鲁也是清华一些重要领域的合作伙伴。

耶鲁与清华合作推出中国女性医疗管理领导力培训项目和环境与可持续发展高级干部培训项目。

世界各国的大学非常钦佩清华在学生海外培养和留学生教育方面所做的努力。

每年清华有超过2500名学生赴海外学习,同时有近2000名学位留学生和800多名访问学生来清华学习。

正是这样的交流,使世界加深了对中国的了解,而中国也加深了对世界的了解。

今天在座的各国大学校长都以极大的兴趣关注着中国大学的崛起,而清华正是中国大学飞速发展的一个象征。

随着社会经济的不断发展,中国正在越来越多地获取推进大学向更高层次发展所需的人力、物力和信息资源。

耶鲁大学毕业典礼英语演讲稿

耶鲁大学毕业典礼英语演讲稿

耶鲁大学毕业典礼英语演讲稿Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a ood look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude."In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers."You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I,Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not."Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not."Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not."And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not."Hmm . . . you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy."You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who hereally works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer."Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads."Hmm... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago."Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up."For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)【中文译文】:耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。

这可以理解。

与苏格兰长达300年的统一可能永远不会破裂。

即使破裂,苏格兰政府可能也会提供税收优惠,安抚紧张的公司。

不管怎样,现在就公布偏好是不利的。

然而,苏格兰选举严重突显出一个大企业领袖必须解决的问题:公司挂哪面国旗是否重要?如果是的话,为什么?荷兰皇家壳牌(Royal Dutch Shell)的彼得•沃瑟(Peter Voser)表示:“在行业中,国籍真的并不重要。

”他是一位瑞士人,管理着一家英荷跨国公司,由芬兰籍董事长乔马•奥利拉(Jorma Ollila)领导,因此他的回答反映了壳牌的现实。

但沃瑟补充了一句微妙的话:“拥有荷英传统非常有帮助。

它让我们在全球获得了与众不同的地位。

我们不只有一个国籍,因此,比如说,我们不会被视为美国企业,这有助于我们被视作一家相当国际化的公司。

”10多年前,很多大公司都渴望变得“无国界”。

事实证明,这基本上只是一个梦想。

1988年缔造了ABB的合并交易,成为将瑞士和瑞典国籍合归入一个全球新整体的典范。

但本世纪初,在该集团增加了太多管理层,让管理变得过于错综复杂之后,这一梦想破灭了。

即便如此,英国工程集团Amec首席执行官、像沃瑟一样曾任ABB高管的萨米尔•布里科(Samir Brikho)仍表示,该集团在一定程度上实现了两种文化的融合,例如,管理层在决定新厂厂址时,可以将国家忠诚度置之一旁。

但Iese商学院全球战略教授潘卡基•格玛沃特(Pankaj Ghemawat)表示,更近距离地观察一下就会发现,很多跨国公司并没有表面上那么国际化。

And to the C students—I say, you, too, can be President of the United States. 对于那些表现杰出、获得各种奖项和荣誉的同学,我要说,你们真棒!对于那些C等生,我要说,你们将来也可以当美国总统!Remarks by the President in Commencement Address Yale University New Haven, Connecticut Listen to the President's RemarksTHE PRESIDENT: President Levin, thank you very much. Dean Brodhead, fellows of the Yale Corporation, fellow Yale parents, families, and graduates: It's a special privilege to receive this honorary degree. I was proud 33 years ago to receive my first Yale degree. I'm even prouder that in your eyes I've earned this one.I congratulate my fellow honorees. I'm pleased to share this honor with such a distinguished group. I'm particularly pleased to be here with my friend, the former of Mexico. SenorPresidente, usted es un verdadero lider, y un gran amigo. (Applause.)I congratulate all the parents who are here. It's a glorious day when your child graduates from college. It's a great day for you; it's a great day for your wallet. (Laughter.) Most important, congratulations to the class of 20XX. (Applause.) To those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students -- (applause) -- I say, you, too, can be President of the United States. (Laughter and applause.) A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney -- (laughter) -- who studied here, but left a little early. So now we know -- if you graduate from Yale, you become President. If you drop out, you get to be Vice President. (Laughter.)I appreciate so very much the chance to say a few words on this occasion. I know Yale has a tradition of having no commencement speaker. I also know that you've carved out a single exception. Most people think that to speak at Yale's commencement, you have to be President. But over the years, the specifications have become far more demanding. Now you have to be a Yale graduate, you have to be President, and you have had to have lost the Yale vote to Ralph Nader. ( Applause.)This is my first time back here in quite a while. I'm sure that each of you will make your own journey back at least a few times in your life. If you're like me, you won't remember everything you did here. (Laughter.) That can be a good thing. (Laughter.) But there will be some people, and some moments, you will never forget.Take, for example, my old classmate, Dick Brodhead, the accomplished dean of this great university. (Applause.) I remember him as a young scholar, a bright lad -- (laughter) -- a hard worker. We both put a lot of time in at the Sterling Library, in the reading room, where they have those big leather couches. (Laughter.) We had a mutual understanding -- Dick wouldn't read aloud, and I wouldn't snore. (Laughter.) Our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academic discovery. Dick was an English major, and loved the classics. I loved history, and pursued a diversified course of study. I like to think of it as the academic road less traveled. (Laughter.)For example, I took a class that studied Japanese Haiku. Haiku, for the uninitiated, is a 15th century form of poetry, each poem having 17 syllables. Haiku is fully understood only by the Zen masters. As I recall, one of my academic adviserswas worried about my selection of such a specialized course. He said I should focus on English. (Laughter.) I still hear that quite often. ( Laughter.) But my critics don't realize I don't make verbal gaffes. I'm speaking in the perfect forms and rhythms of ancient Haiku. (Applause.)I did take English here, and I took a class called "The History and Practice of American Oratory," taught by Rollin G. Osterweis. (Applause.) And, President Levin, I want to give credit where credit is due. I want the entire world to know this -- everything I know about the spoken word, I learned right here at Yale. (Laughter.)As a student, I tried to keep a low profile. It worked. Last year the New York Times interviewed John Morton Blum because the record showed I had taken one of his courses. Casting his mind's eye over the parade of young faces down through the years, Professor Blum said, and I quote, "I don't have the foggiest recollection of him." (Laughter.)But I remember Professor Blum. And I still recall his dedication and high standards of learning. In my time there were many great professors at Yale. And there still are. They're the ones who keep Yale going after the commencements, after we have all gone our separate ways. I'm not sure I remembered to thankthem the last time I was here, but now that I have a second chance, I thank the professors of Yale University. (Applause.)That's how I've come to feel about the Yale experience -- grateful. I studied hard, I played hard, and I made a lot of lifelong friends. What stays with you from college is the part of your education you hardly ever notice at the time. It's the expectations and examples around you, the ideals you believe in, and the friends you make.In my time, they spoke of the "Yale man." I was really never sure what that was. But I do think that I'm a better man because of Yale. All universities, at their best, teach that degrees and honors are far from the full measure of life. Nor is that measure taken in wealth or in titles. What matters most are the standards you live by, the consideration you show others, and the way you use the gifts you are given.Now you leave Yale behind, carrying the written proof of your success here, at a college older than America. When I left here, I didn't have much in the way of a life plan. I knew some people who thought they did. But it turned out that we were all in for ups and downs, most of them unexpected. Life takes its own turns, makes its own demands, writes its own story. And along the way, we start to realize we are not the author.We begin to understand that life is ours to live, but not to waste, and that the greatest rewards are found in the commitments we make with our whole hearts -- to the people we love and to the causes that earn our sacrifice. I hope that each of you will know these rewards. I hope you will find them in your own way and your own time.For some, that might mean some time in public service. And if you hear that calling, I hope you answer. Each of you has unique gifts and you were given them for a reason. Use them and share them. Public service is one way -- an honorable way -- to mark your life with meaning.Today I visit not only my alma mater, but the city of my birth. My life began just a few blocks from here, but I was raised in West Texas. From there, Yale always seemed a world away, maybe a part of my future. Now it's part of my past, and Yale for me is a source of great pride.I hope that there will come a time for you to return to Yale to say that, and feel as I do today. And I hope you won't wait as long. Congratulations and God bless. (Applause.) END人人都可能当总统——布什在耶鲁大学的演讲我很荣幸能在这个场合发表演讲。

点击此处查看全部科技图片新浪科技讯 3月16日上午9时,主题为“龙腾盛世,成就卓越”的“IBM论坛2005”在北京召开。

根据介绍,此次论坛上,耶鲁大学管理学院院长Jeffrey E. Garten将应邀协同IBM大中华地区董事长兼首席执行总裁周伟焜和多家著名中国企业领导人、以及近千位来自各行各业的企业决策者共同探讨和解读企业迎接当前挑战、拥抱机遇、成就卓越的未来之路。

以下为其演讲全文:Jeffrey E. Garten:非常感谢,首先我想说,今天我非常高兴来到中国,每次我到中国来,人们总是问我是不是第一次到中国。

我非常高兴地告诉大家,其实八十年代中期我就来中国了。

我想我已经来过中国30多次了,每次我到中国都被这里所发生的变化,所取得的进步,以及所表现出的一种力量感到惊奇。

在我看来,中国已经走上了一个不可逆转的事业,而且这个事业在世界上是非常令人敬佩的。

我总是感觉每次到中国都是非常荣幸,而且受到了激励。

在下午的45分钟时间里,我主要是要讲一下中国企业成为全球领导者的一些潜力。

毫无疑问地是,中国作为一个国家,在全球事物的方方面面正在发挥着很大的潜力,而且产生着巨大的影响,而且这种趋势将会继续发展下去。

我认为,中国的企业也不仅仅要在中国的市场上竞争取得胜利,同时,他们也要走向世界,在世界的市场上成功。

我们现在已经看到了这种趋势的开始,当然这仅仅是一个开端,这将是一个长远的历程,在这个历程当中也会遇到很多挑战。

我想讲一下,我想对领导这些企业走上这一阶段的企业的领导者们讲几句话。

首先,我想给大家讲一下这些企业真正具有竞争性,真正具有全球化的含义和背景。

首先,我们要看一下全球经济的发展情况,以及全球化的深入。

我们现在已经都能够看到这一点。

我们经常使用“全球化”这个词,但是,目前的事实是,我们面临着很多的壁垒,包括贸易壁垒、信息壁垒、文化壁垒,这些壁垒从历史上把这些国家的分离开来,而这些壁垒正在不断消失,随着这些壁垒的消失我们才能实现全球化。

如果实现全球化,距离这个概念就会变得不太重要了。

无论你处在什么地方,你可以在全球范围内做你想做的事情,因此,无论你在什么地方,其他人也能和你竞争。

最后,全球化也意味着巨大的混乱,一个国家的条件和状况很容易感染到其他国家,也就是说,当你运行一个公司的时候,从定义上来说,你就是要经历着很多的浮动和变化。

有一些是金融上的浮动和变化,而有一些可能是政治上的浮动和变化。

另一方面,我们要考虑的问题是商业环境。

商业环境变得越来越具有竞争性,这是这是有史以来从来没有过的。

这种竞争不仅仅是由于我们没有那么多的壁垒了,同时,也是因为在世界上有了越来越多的市场行为。

它影响到各个行业,无论是汽车行业还是银行、电信行业。

在每个行业当中我们都看到都有过多的生产,过多的容量,这就是说,很难让企业像过去那样提价。

同时,这也意味着企业将运行在有更多的竞争对手的环境当中,而这些竞争对手,来自于各个方向,你能够升价和降价的灵活性越来越有限了。

我还要增加一个方面的提法,这个方面没有写在投影片上。

刚才大家也听到了这一点,就是领导者的重要性,以及领导者个人魅力的重要性。

今天我要给大家留下最重要的一条信息就是在领导一个全球化的企业过程中,最重要的一点不是技术,也不是策略,不是你的产品,是你的企业当中的人员,是人员的素质,是这些人员的交流方式,是这些人员应对不同情形和对不同情形作出反映的方式。

所以作为一个企业的领导者,他必须有一定的个人魅力。

我的这些想法来自很多的来源,八十年代,我也领导了一个全球的公司,我负责这个公司在亚洲的业务,另外,我在耶鲁大学也教课,几年之前,我写了一本书《CEO的心理》,在这本书当中,我采访了全球50家著名企业的CEO,而我现在也是把这份经验和经历总结成为十项挑战。

在我讲这十项挑战之前,我想谈非常重要的一点,也就是说一个领导者和一个经理的区别或者说管理者的区别。

成为一个重要的管理者是非常重要的,这一点我毫不怀疑,有的时候,其实你必须先成为一个好的管理者,才能成为一个好的领导者。

但是,重要的是你必须要认识到,当你在领导一个全球公司的时候,你要区别出来,一个领导者和管理者是不同的,领导意味着引导变革,领导意味着你要产生巨大的影响,不是说要保持现状,不是说有效地保持现状,而是要有促进,有响应,必须能够应对危机,而且使公司的状况比以往更好。

所以,我下面要讲的就是一个领导者的重要性,我现在要讲十项挑战。

我会很快地过一下这十项挑战,因为过后我会回答大家一些问题。

第一个挑战,作为一个领导者,你必须明确方向,能够找到北。

拿过指南针的人知道,真北是什么意思,你要明确自己的方向,一个有效的领导者能够掌握一个全球的企业的话,必须有方向干,必须了解自我。

他要对手下的人员有一种信任,因为你要在一个全球范围内运作,加入说,你是一个中国企业,你要想走向世界,那么你要知道,这个环境是非常恶劣的,你要领导这个企业,领导这些人员的话,必须要了解自己,同时,你必须要保持一致性。

即使环境发生了变化,也要保持这种一致性,我想给大家举一些例子来说明这个问题,当然这方面的例子是很多的,一个叫Virgin的人,领导的这个公司,他有方向感,知道公司的方向,他知道在领导公司的时候,最重要的一点就是要有对你的员工的满意感。

当然,有人的方向感可能会表现在这个方面,有的人是更注重客户,但是他的理论说,员工要首先受到鼓舞,如果他们喜欢自己的工作,如果他们紧密合作,他们一定会提供非常优秀的服务,这些服务会使客户感到满意,由此给企业带来更多的价值。

另外一个例子,就是John Browne先生,他是英国石油公司的首席执行官,他非常注重建立关系,所有和他打交道的人知道,当有一个重要的决策和困难的决策要做的时候,他总是知道怎么能够摆脱困境,因为他可以和所有与他打交道的人建立非常好的关系,另外Jack Welch先生刚刚从通用电气退休,他把握的方向就是不能远离客户。

我举这些例子,只是要说明一个领导者要保持一致性,要让员工知道即使他们遇到困境,他们确信他们的领导者一定能够找到正确的方向,怎样摆脱困境。

第二个挑战,在运行国际企业的时候,就是要有一个强有力的远景观念。

有了这个远景观念,就会使全公司上下受到鼓舞。

他们会奔着一个宏伟的目标去奋斗,这个目标不仅使他们感到骄傲和自豪,同时也使他们的心中有一个目标,知道企业的奋斗方向。

我可以举联邦快递的例子,大家知道,联邦快递公司是快速投递邮件和包裹的公司,联邦快递的远景不仅仅是提供邮件或邮寄邮件,他们的关键在于知道管理库存。

邮寄邮件和快件,对他们来说并不很重要,他们要能够很好地管理全球的库存,使客户知道自己的邮件处在什么位置,而且永远都知道。

对于联邦快递来说,它给客户提供了一种信任感,让客户知道他们的邮件永远是安全的,永远能够跟踪,与此同时,你对联邦快递公司充满信任。

沃尔玛的特点是每天向客户提供低价格的产品,作为沃尔玛的客户,你知道你一定会以很低的价格获得相对不错的产品,如果要扩大你的公司,如果要大家跟随你的发展,你必须有一个很好的远景。

第三个挑战,就是必须要有一个非常一致的战略,必须知道你的优势所在。

你是有创造力呢,还是在执行方面具有很多的优势?没有两家公司在竞争优势方面是完全一样的,所以你必须要明确,你并不是由CEO或者是几个领导人来决定自己的优势,而是要召集公司的方方面面人员坐在一起决定你的竞争优势,因此,确定明确的发展战略,你必须要知道,在全球市场来说,你能给客户带来什么东西,而其他企业却无法带来这些东西。

这对于中国企业来说是非常重要的。

我相信,十年、二十年后,中国公司、中国企业将遍布世界各个市场。

但是我的感觉是,真正的资产是你们对发展中国家的了解,中国是世界上发展最快的地方,中国的经济发展速度令人惊奇,中国的企业领导者有很多的经验,你们在这方面的经验要超越发达国家领导者的经验。

换句话说,中国企业在收购其他企业方面并没有很多经验。

所以,中国企业可以带来的资产是有序的增长,而不是追求更多的收购和并购。

当然,在制定战略的时候,要考虑很多方面,一方面要考虑平衡风险和回报,另外还要考虑到响应性战略还是自主战略,我举一个Intel的例子,他们需要两方面的策略,一方面它在销售现有产品的时候还要考虑未来的方向,另一方面,它还要有更高层面的策略,就是说,要在响应性战略和自主性战略之间达成一个平衡。

这是非常重要的。

在这种不确定性很高的世界当中,有双方面的策略是非常重要的。

第四个挑战,是执行。

我的一个朋友是一个企业的CEO,他告诉我说你必须有远景,与此同时还要有很好的执行。

仅仅有远景,没有执行,那远景只是梦想。

很多CEO说,其实,执行更重要,无论是从质量方面,还是从靠近客户方面,还是说怎么样采取下一个步骤方面都是非常重要的。

要收购一个公司呢,还是决定结成战略联盟?无论你做什么,只有良好的执行,否则你可能就会犯错误,或者是太慢了,或者太快了。

在执行过程中,我要讲的一点就是决策规则。

当你运行在一个竞争的环境当中,你不可能观察一切,你作为一个领导者必须制定规则指导人们的行动。

通用电气公司有这样一条规则,他说,无论你做什么业务,或者是在这个行业当中做第一,或做第二,否则你就别再做这个业务,另外一家公司,有这样一个规则,除非这个产品能够销售到十个以上的国家,否则就不要开发这个产品。

如果这个产品只对一个国家合适的话,那么你就不可能把自己的企业创办成国际企业。

当然还有很多决策规则,这些规则你们可以自己制定,总之,在执行过程中,人们必须知道边界所在。

第五个挑战,就是怎么样在人才方面,靠人才致胜。

大家都知道,我想再强调一下。

管理一个全球的公司,一定要找到各种人才,不仅是招来,把他们保留在公司是跨国公司最大的一个因素,你雇了一个人,很快又走了,这是最大的威胁。

我们怎么样保留人才?这是一个巨大的问题。

但有一点是肯定的。

人们如果认为他能够学习,能够发展才会在一个地方呆下去。

因此一个跨国公司必须有一个内部的计划,让大家觉得他们的技能能够在公司中得到巨大的提升。

如果能够靠人才致胜,其中一部分还要应对各种复杂性和多样性。

我想给大家举一个例子,有一点是公平的,多数的公司,甚至是一些非常伟大的公司,他们都在为这个问题而伤脑筋。

你怎么样管理你的劳动大军?因为他们有不同的文化,来自不同的国家,有不同的背景,你怎么样才能得到最佳的因素?这就是内部的文化背景怎么样获得最佳的结果?有很多不同的方式能够实现,但是从理论上讲,很多的公司还在为这个问题进行尝试和实验。
