回首2015年美国大学毕业典礼主题演讲精彩瞬间

回首2015年美国大学毕业典礼主题演讲精彩瞬间毕业典礼对于每一个毕业生来说都是走上新阶段的良言益语，饱含着母校和校友的殷切寄托。

并且，每个学校每年都会有重要嘉宾致辞，而这些话都是来自某个领域成功人士的人生告诫，可谓字字珠玑。

以下是《青年参考》特别选出的美国大学2015年毕业典礼主题演讲的精彩瞬间。

“价值观和行动力能改变世界”美国苹果公司CEO蒂姆库克在乔治华盛顿大学的毕业典礼上，讲到“要始终不渝地坚持你的价值观，这将会改变你的人生，并最终改变世界”。

“我们相信，有价值观和行动力的公司真能改变世界。

个人也做得到。

毕业生们，你们的价值观很重要，那是你们的北极星。

我们需要你们这代人中最优秀的，成为政府、商界、科学界、艺术界、新闻业和学术领域的领头人。

你们不需要在干好事和干得好之间选择，那是个假命题，今天尤其如此。

”“(乔布斯)让我相信，如果我们努力工作，制造好的产品，我们可以改变世界。

17年过去了，我从没改变信念。

”“无论你们接下来做什么，世界都需要你们的能量、激情，和进步的冲劲。

不要因为风险而退缩，也不要听那些愤世嫉俗和批评的声音。

历史很少由一个人创造，但不要忘记那真的可能发生。

那个人可以是你，应该是你，也必须是你。

”“不要痴迷于梦想，应把握现实”《蝙蝠侠》系列导演克里斯托弗诺兰在普林斯顿大学毕业演讲中，规劝毕业生不要执着于虚无的梦想，应把握现实。

“按照毕业典礼发言的传统，演讲人该说些‘追逐梦想’之类的话。

我不想那么做，我希望你们能追求现实。

人们总是将现实看做梦想的穷亲戚，在我看来，我们的梦想是虚拟的现实，我们喜爱的这种抽象的东西，不过是现实的子集。

”诺兰还说，进入社会后你会发现，你原本以为自己的知识储备如同可以前进的轮子，实际上不过是块四处是洞的瑞士奶酪。

“那些洞才是关键，你可能从前都不知道它们的存在。

你必须用经验去填补。

有些经验很美妙，有些则糟透了。

你必须一路学习。

”“你们在学校中学到的会帮助你完成这个过程。

这篇毕业演讲刷屏美国，一反鸡汤文，让人提神醒脑！

这篇毕业演讲刷屏美国，一反鸡汤文，让人提神醒脑！最近，朋友圈里不时被大学校长的毕业演讲刷屏，有谆谆教诲的，有殷切希望的，有祝福祝愿的。

被众多网友戏称，干了这碗鸡汤再上路！然而，在美国，也有一篇毕业演讲在各大社交媒体刷屏，唯一不同的是，这是碗反鸡汤。

读后真是让人耳目一新，提神醒脑！今年6月初，美国最高法院首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨（John Roberts）来到新罕布什尔州的卡迪根山中学（Cardigan Mountain School），参加儿子的初中毕业典礼，并发表演讲。

这篇演讲当时并没有引起轰动，但近日《华盛顿邮报》（Washington Post）把其中的金句挖掘了出来，竟引发美国媒体和社交网络的疯狂转发。

为什么呢？因为这番演讲和一般毕业典礼演讲嘉宾说的话太不一样了！他没有祝福毕业生们有个光明美好的未来，却祝愿他们遭遇各种不幸……From time to time in the years tocome, I hope you will be treated unfairly,so that you will come to know the value ofjustice.我希望在未来岁月中，你能时不时地遭遇不公，唯有如此，你才能懂得公正的价值。

I hope that you will suffer betrayal because that will teach you the importance of loyalty.我希望你尝到背叛的滋味，这样你才能领悟到忠诚之重要。

Sorry to say, but I hope you will be lonely from time to time so that you don’t take friends for granted.抱歉，我还希望你们时常感到孤独，唯有如此，你才不会视朋友为理所当然。

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.我祝你们偶尔运气不佳，这样你才会意识到机遇在人生中扮演的角色，从而明白你的成功并非天经地义，而他人的失败也不是命中注定。

按照惯例，各界名流都会受邀到各大名校去做煽动人心的励志演讲。

通过这些演讲，我们或许能够窥见美国人是如何激励他们的年轻一代的。

根据某网站的评选，以下是近年美国最有影响的十大毕业典礼演讲：1.史蒂芬·乔布斯苹果电脑ceoXX年，斯坦福大学记着你总会死去，是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。

赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心。

你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间花在过别人的生活上。

不要被教条所困——让自己的生活成为他人想法的结果。

不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。

最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的本心与直觉。

它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。

其他的，都是次要的。

保持饥饿。

保持愚蠢。

2.杰瑞·朱克导演、电影制片人XX年，威斯康辛大学如果你一生都在睡觉，你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了。

问你自己一个问题：如果我不是必须做得完美，那我还努力什么呢？没有人会像你自己那样对自己的失败那么在意。

你是唯一沉湎于你自己的重要性的人。

对于其他所有人来说，你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。

所以，只管前行吧。

3.马克·刘易斯教授、临床心理学家XX年，德克萨斯大学有时候你会干得很漂亮，有时候你会失败。

但二者都不是成功的量度。

成功的量度是你自己对你的所为怎么看。

让我换一句话说：让自己幸福的办法是喜欢你自己，喜欢你自己的办法是只做让你自己感到骄傲的事情。

有一个老的笑话，不是很好笑，它是这么说的：“无论你去到哪里，你总是你。

”这是真的。

你一生中跟你在一起最多的人是你自己，如果你不喜欢你自己，那你就会总是跟你不喜欢的人在一起。

4.大卫·福斯特·华莱士小说家XX年，肯尼恩学院有两条小鱼在一起游泳，一天他们碰巧遇到了一条老鱼。

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。

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。

耶鲁大学校长毕业典礼震撼演讲：别让狭隘的朋友圈毁掉你的人生Robert Dahl是一位曾在耶鲁大学任教四十年之久的政治学教授。

励志英语：Move Ever Forward 永远向前(附中文)

汤姆·汉克斯（Tom Hanks，1956年7月9日—），是美国电影男演员，以演技精湛而著称，曾参演多部不同类型电影，饰演角色包括易受攻击的《阿甘正传》、以灵感主演的《费城故事》、温馨喜剧的漂亮男人在《西雅图不眠夜》中。

他曾于1994,1995年获得奥斯卡最佳男主角奖，他是当今好莱坞最具影响力的电影明星之一。

耶鲁大学（Yale University）是一所坐落于美国康涅狄格州纽黑文市的私立大学，始创于1701年，初名“大学学院”（Collegiate School）。

耶鲁大学是美国历史上建立的第三所大学，今为常青藤联盟的成员之一。

2011年5月23日，耶鲁大学举行第310届毕业典礼。

汤姆·汉克斯（Tom Hanks）当天受邀发表了一段演讲，约22分钟。

在演讲中，汤姆·汉克斯鼓励即将毕业的耶鲁人积极投入到救助那些因参加伊拉克和阿富汗战争而饱受恐惧困扰的退伍老兵的工作中，汤姆·汉克斯号召他们"take the fears head on"，直面恐惧，永远向前！I know many of you were convinced the last night about six o' clock local time, the world was going to come to an end, just because it hasn't does not mean that is not near by, because my appearing today at Yale University is surely one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But listen, t oday is your day!我猜很多人一定曾经相信，昨天（五月二十一日）晚上，当地时间六点钟，就将是世界末日了。

耶鲁大学校长2022毕业典礼演讲：论思想上的谦逊（附中文译文）

耶鲁大学校长2022毕业典礼演讲：论思想上的谦逊（附中文译文）Yale 321st Commencement CeremonyYale Class of 2022美东时间5月23日，纽黑文的阳光格外温暖，耶鲁大学2022届毕业生聚集在Cross Campus的草坪上，与同一届的同学们站在一起，有灿烂的笑容，也有一些湿润的双眼，这是他们本科生涯的最后时刻。

伴随着击鼓声、欢庆的音乐和祝福者的欢呼，毕业生们排着长队开始步行前往耶鲁老校区，在那里他们的父母、家人和朋友们正在等候着他们，等待着耶鲁大学第321届毕业典礼开启。

这场令人激动的庆典是三年来毕业生们第一次能够齐聚校园，参加耶鲁传统的毕业典礼。

新冠肺炎疫情暴发时，他们还是大二的学生，转眼他们克服了困难与挑战，迎来了人生中最重要的篇章。

耶鲁大学校长苏必德（Peter Salovey）、耶鲁本科学院院长Marvin Chun及其它学院院长悉数出席了今年的毕业典礼。

苏必德还在前一天（美东时间5月22日）发表了致耶鲁本科学院2022届毕业生的毕业演讲，主题为“论思想上的谦逊”（On Intellectual Humility）。

在这样一个让毕业生们充满成就感的时刻，苏必德校长寄语毕业生们，要认识到保持思想上谦逊的重要性。

“与那些持有不同视角的人互动交流，并不会让我们背弃自己的信仰，反而会扩大它。

倾听我们可能不认同的观点，并不是一种妥协，而是对真理的忠诚。

承认我们的错误并不是失败的标志，而是走向博学的必要过程。

伟大教育的标志不仅在于我们对于新知识的探索抵达到了多远，还在于我们对现有观点有多少重新的思考。

”告别母校，2022届毕业生们将带着耶鲁带给他们的成长和期许，坚定地走向下一段人生之旅。

以下为耶鲁大学校长苏必德2022毕业典礼演讲中文翻译：“如果你不曾改变自己，你永远不可能对社会产生影响......伟大的和平缔造者都是正直、真诚而又谦逊的人。

”——纳尔逊·曼德拉诸位2022届毕业生们、家长们和朋友们：今天大家在这里共聚一堂，我感到十分荣幸，这一天也因为我们可以亲自来到校园为毕业庆贺而更加意义非凡。

布什毕业典礼演讲

布什总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲/lvle/archive/2008/07/04/1090436.aspx 在毕业典礼现场有他当年的同窗、耶鲁大学某学院院长brodhead。

布什总统说，当时他俩常泡图书馆，因为那里有很舒适的沙发。

他们俩还有个君子协定，brodhead不大声朗读，他不打呼噜。

we both put a lot of time in at the sterling library, in the readingroom, where they have those big leather couches. (laughter.) we had a mutualunderstanding -- dick wouldnt read aloud, and i wouldnt snore. (laughter.)篇二：布什总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲the president: president levin, thank you very much. dean brodhead, fellows ofthe yale corporation, fellow yale parents, families, and graduates: its a specialprivilege to receive this honorary degree. i was proud 33 years ago to receive myfirst yale degree. im even prouder that in your eyes ive earned this one.i congratulate my fellow honorees. im pleased to share this honor with such adistinguished group. im particularly pleased to be here with my friend, the formerof mexico. senor presidente, usted es un verdadero lider, y un gran amigo. (applause.)i congratulate all the parents who are here. its a glorious day when your childgraduates from college. its a great day for you; its a great day for your wallet.(laughter.)this is my first time back here in quite a while. im sure that each of you willmake your own journey back at least a few times in your life. if youre like me, youwont 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. our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academicdiscovery. dick was an english major, and loved the classics. i loved history, andpursued a diversified course of study. i like to think of it as the academic roadless traveled. (laughter.)for example, i took a class that studied japanese haiku. haiku, for theuninitiated, is a 15th century form of poetry, each poem having 17 syllables. haiku is fully understood only by the zen masters. as i recall, oneof my academic advisers was 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 dont realize i dont make verbal gaffes. im speaking inthe perfect forms and rhythms of ancient haiku. (applause.)i did take english here, and i took a class called the history and practice ofamerican 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 yorktimes interviewed john morton blum because the record showed i had taken one of hiscourses. casting his minds eye over the parade of young faces down through the years,professor blum said, and i quote, i dont have the foggiest recollection of him.(laughter.)in my time, they spoke of the yale man. i was really never sure what that was.but i do think that im 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 measuretaken in wealth or in titles. what matters most are the standards you live by, theconsideration you show others, and the way you use the gifts you are given. 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 markyour life with meaning.today i visit not only my alma mater, but the city of my birth. my life beganjust a few blocks from here, but i was raised in west texas. from there, yale alwaysseemed a world away, maybe a part of my future. now its part of my past, and yalefor me is a source of great pride.布什总统在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲一直对布什总统了解甚少,只是随大流地认为由于他缺乏水准没能把美利坚共和国治理好,直到偶然读到他在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的演讲。

哈佛校长给本科毕业生的演讲：在醒着的时间里，追求你认为最有意义的事

哈佛校长给本科毕业生的演讲：在醒着的时间里，追求你认为最有意义的事哈佛校长给本科毕业生的演讲：在醒着的时间里，追求你认为最有意义的事通向有意义、幸福生活的必由之路是让自己为之努力奋斗，不要停歇，要随时准备着改变方向，就算觉得它们不可能实现，也要记住，它们至关重要，是自己人生的北极星，会指引你到达对自己和世界都有意义的彼岸。

你生活的意义要由自己创造。

下面是店铺收集整理的励志文章，希望大家喜欢。

在醒着的时间里，追求你认为最有意义的事——哈佛校长Drew Gilpin Faust给2008年本科毕业生的演讲记住我们对你们寄予的厚望，就算你们觉得它们不可能实现，也要记住，它们至关重要，是你们人生的北极星，会指引你们到达对自己和世界都有意义的彼岸。

你们生活的意义要由你们自己创造。

这所备受尊崇的学校历来好学求知，所以你们期待我的演讲能传授永恒的智慧。

我站在这个讲坛上，穿得像个清教徒牧师——这身打扮也许会把很多我的前任吓坏，还可能会让其中一些人重新投身于消灭女巫的事业中去，让英克利斯和考特恩父子出现在如今的“泡沫派对”上。

但现在，我在台上，你们在底下，这是一个属于真理、追求真理的时刻。

你们已经求学四年，而我当校长还不到一年;你们认识三任校长，我只认识一个班的大四学生。

所以，智慧从何谈起呢?也许你们才是应该传授智慧的人。

或许我们可以互换一下角色，用哈佛法学院教授们随机点名提问的方式，让我在接下来的一个小时里回答你们的问题。

让我们把这个毕业典礼想象成一个问答式环节，你们是提问者。

“福斯特校长，生活的意义是什么?我们在哈佛苦读四年是为了什么?福斯特校长，从你四十年前大学毕业到现在，你肯定学到了不少东西吧?”可以这么说，在过去的一年里，你们一直在提出问题让我回答，只不过你们把提问范围限定得比较小。

我也一直在思考应该怎样回答，还有你们提问的动机，这是我更感兴趣的。

其实，从我与校委会见面时起，就一直被问到这些问题，当时是2007年冬天，我的任命才宣布不久。

美国大学毕业季演讲 “撒鸡汤”也是有历史的

美国大学毕业季演讲“撒鸡汤”也是有历史的每到毕业季，美国高校就开始接二连三的给毕业生们罐鸡汤。

史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)、JK·罗琳(JK Rowling)、汤姆·汉克斯(Tom Hanks)、奥普拉·温弗瑞(Oprah Winfrey)和比利·乔尔(Billy Joel)等都曾手持汤勺。

他们在高校毕业典礼上饱含深情的回忆自己的当年勇，把几十年的人生阅历浓缩成十几分钟的谆谆教导，以过来人的姿态给学子们灌溉血槽，以抵抗即将步入社会时可能遭遇的各种“意想不到”。

最后收获粉丝注目礼、名人光环，以及五分钟啪啪不断的掌声。

今年当然也不例外。

蒂姆·库克在杜克大学鼓励毕业生要突破世俗认知，做一个无所畏惧、勇于改变现状的吃蟹人;加拿大的网红总理特鲁多跑到纽约大学刷了一把存在感，勉励毕业生包容看待世界，反对种族主义;与总统位置失之交臂的希拉里回到母校耶鲁大学找宽慰，希望2018级的学子们支持真相和逻辑，用更坚韧的态度对待越发分裂的新时代……。

总之，无论学校名气如何，学生质量怎样，只要有名人站台，喝完鸡汤的学子立马变身史上最有希望，满满活力的有为青年。

“撒鸡汤”也是有历史的实际上，如果将哈佛大学第一次举行毕业典礼(1642年)视作历史开端，很容易发现这样一个事实：大学们的毕业演讲并不是从一开始就走“鸡汤”范儿。

最早的听众仅限于本校学生，甚至大多数演讲嘉宾也是学生们自己。

据说，当年毕业生们的发言内容都是用希腊语或拉丁语演讲，主题是一些哲学问题，颇有些学术辩论的氛围。

普林斯顿大学一位历史学教授Anthony Grafton认为，毕业演讲是一种非常古老的习俗，因为演讲就是学生们习得技能的一种方式，甚至是技能本身。

所以，上台发言者几乎都是学者，他们会就某一有争议的学术议题发表意见。

这听起来有些枯燥乏味，学了四年，临走前还得忍住脾气听教诲也是有点惨。

不过当年哈佛毕业生仅9位，估计学校也没心思讲究排场大不大，内容够不够有趣的问题。

美国十大毕业典礼励志演讲

美国十大毕业典礼励志演讲美国十大毕业典礼励志演讲;;; 5月，是美国大学举行毕业典礼的季节。

按照惯例，各界名流都会受邀到各大名校去做煽动人心的励志演讲。

通过这些演讲，我们或许能够窥见美国人是如何激励他们的年轻一代的。

根据某网站的评选，以下是近年美国最有影响的十大毕业典礼演讲：;;; 1.史蒂芬乔布斯;;; 苹果电脑CEO;;; 2006年，斯坦福大学;;; 记着你总会死去，是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。

赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心。

;;; 你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间花在过别人的生活上。

不要被教条所困让自己的生活成为他人想法的结果。

不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。

最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的本心与直觉。

它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。

其他的，都是次要的。

;;; 保持饥饿。

保持愚蠢。

;;; 2.杰瑞朱克;;; 导演、电影制片人;;; 2003年，威斯康辛大学;;; 如果你一生都在睡觉，你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了。

;;; 问你自己一个问题：如果我不是必须做得完美，那我还努力什么呢？;;; 没有人会像你自己那样对自己的失败那么在意。

你是唯一沉湎于你自己的重要性的人。

对于其他所有人来说，你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。

所以，只管前行吧。

;;; 3.马克刘易斯;;; 教授、临床心理学家;;; 2000年，德克萨斯大学;;; 有时候你会干得很漂亮，有时候你会失败。

但二者都不是成功的量度。

成功的量度是你自己对你的所为怎么看。

让我换一句话说：让自己幸福的办法是喜欢你自己，喜欢你自己的办法是只做让你自己感到骄傲的事情。

;;; 有一个老的笑话，不是很好笑，它是这么说的：“无论你去到哪里，你总是你。

这是真的。

你一生中跟你在一起最多的人是你自己，如果你不喜欢你自己，那你就会总是跟你不喜欢的人在一起。

;;; 4.大卫福斯特华莱士;;; 小说家;;; 2005年，肯尼恩学院;;; 有两条小鱼在一起游泳，一天他们碰巧遇到了一条老鱼。

汤姆·汉克斯在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上的励志演讲稿我知道，在座很多人相信昨晚六点是世界末日。

就算没发生，并不表示它远在天边。

因为我今天在耶鲁现身，简直跟天启四骑士(代表瘟疫、战争、饥荒、死亡)降临差不多。

但听着，今天是你们的大日子，拜托千万不要关掉手中的电子装置。

请把你们的iphone、ipad、sidekicks(滑盖式键盘手机)、droids(motorola手机)和黑莓机全都打开，请录音、拍照、传简讯，大力放送我接下来在台上的所有演出。

顺带一提，我会好好戴着这顶帽子，绝不让它掉下。

你们知道，毕业典礼后，你们可以比较自己和他人twitter和facebook上的贴文，看看我是否说了什么发人深省的话。

嘿，不如这样，立刻把我刚刚说的话贴上twitter。

给你们一个点子，帮你们找点事做，让朋友知道你们现在在哪里。

好，然后——好，把这场演讲配上音乐，也许加上几张搞笑图片，让自己成为影片主角，放上网络。

如果这部影片爆红，你就会像那只玩纸袋的猫，或用达达语对话的双胞胎兄弟，或唱“星期五”的可爱女孩一样受欢迎。

嘿，搞不好你会成为下一个samtsui(耶鲁亚裔学生，拍摄过爆红影片)。

这只是我们美好新世界当中的一个可能性，这个你们即将接手的世界，无论你们是否愿意。

好日子已经结束，时机已到，我们的未来正等着戴着怪帽子的你们开创。

这都是因为——你们是耶鲁毕业生。

你们是被选定的一群，担负重责大任;你们是最杰出、最聪明的人才;在座每个人都是美国和世界的希望之光。

你们是新世代的天才，将在三角向量、方根、除法之后，赋予“人类”这个种族最终定义。

你们长大成人之前，各个世代肩上背负的重担，现在轮到你们接手。

欢迎共襄盛举。

我有个朋友，他有位富有的叔叔，答应替他付大学学费，无论他打算在学校里待多久。

“你应该设法在学校里待越久越好，”那位富有的叔叔说。

“因为一旦你踏出校门，余生将日复一日地在工作中打转。

”(笑声)总有一天，你们会明白那位富有叔叔的意思。

就像总有一天，你们会想不起该死的眼镜放在哪里，或对孩子大吼“把那该死的音乐转小声点”。

在像今天这样的场合中，通常我们会反思世界的整体情况，勉励大家贡献心力，让世界得更好;这似乎暗示着这个世界每况愈下。

我不确定世界是否真的变得更糟;比起三十年前，不，比起十八年前，不，比起四年前)。

但这也不代表世界变得更好。

若不以缅怀过往的方式来比较上一代和这一代的差异，也不提你们这一代像史奴比狗狗(饶舌歌手)那种说话方式和腔调，或不管是像五角(饶舌歌手)还是美分。

以客观角度来看，这个世界确实变得更好，但同时也变得更糟。

前进一步，又倒退一步，彷佛宇宙在科技进步和文化倒退间达成平衡，使人类的进展呈钟形曲线。

其中一小部分显示了进步带来的喜悦和安逸，但也显示了相同比例的困境。

对于起伏不定的经济和种种混乱局势的不乐观，使我们逐渐忽略生活质量的变化。

毕业典礼是一个谈论全球水资源危机的适当场合，我认为汞污染的情况显示——水资源危机一如往常。

十年前，当我们汲汲营营地为生活打拼时，发生了九一一事件;一九九一年，当各种新兴行业创造出巨大财富时，美国陷入经济危机;一九八一年，当我准备在电视界大展身手时，一九八二年，《bosom buddies》惨遭停播。

一九七一年，当彩色电视逐渐普及时，播出的总是美国青年在越战中出生入死的消息;一九六一年，当卫星首次将实时影像传送到世界各地时，播出的却是柏林围墙开始建造的影像。

这十年当中，世事呈现相同的yin-yang thang(阴阳相生);我打算为这个说法申请版权。

在20xx年毕业典礼上也显示了相同的阴阳相生，谢谢。

我们拥有各种科技设备，能永久记录地球另一端的种种变革，但同时也记录了我国各种充满仇恨的族群。

三餐不继的美国人愈来愈少，但你们是否知道，肥胖问题对本国一半的人口造成多大影响?无论我们在本地商场中能找到多少特价品，许多人仍被房租和日常生活开销压得喘不过气来。

上世纪大半期间，美国已不再发动实质、或甚至意识形态战争，但迈入千禧年后十一年半的今天，我国军队仍在其中九个战场参战。

无论是购买智慧产权物品或我们喜爱的艺术作品，只要点一下鼠标，花点钱就能获得。

这意味着你们或许会发现，并不一定能靠自己选择的专业谋生。

这个时代也有其独特的优点，这是无法否认的，例如“无聊”似乎已被击溃。

人们总是有事可忙，但这不代表总是心不在焉地度日无伤大雅。

不论在厕所中、餐桌上、汽车后座、婚礼上，割礼上、毕业典礼上，总是有人检视讯息、在twitter 贴文、上网、下载、玩游戏、分享、购物、听语音留言，手中这些每个月仅需付少许服务费的装置占据了我们的注意力。

同样的科技也造成名人泛滥现象;这不是什么值得高兴的事。

任何人——虽然我不得不承认，sam tsui确实红得要命——现在，任何人都能享受众所瞩目的滋味，而成名期间，从安迪.沃荷所说的短短十五分钟延长到十五个月，只要你愿意在镜头前做某些事。

虽然我们演艺人员的消息通常由电视上说着正式新闻用语、看起来像“自私者”的恐怖家伙发布，但这不会造成广大影响;除非我住在北韩，或在比佛利山闯红灯，或上网购物被发现，或在不合宜的时间、地点做些蠢事，刚好被某人的手机拍下。

在座每个人都有机会这么做。

忍耐一下我专科程度的拉丁文-舆论在网络上一览无遗，即使你将它删除，搜寻引擎依然能使你做过的蠢事无所遁形。

所以，确实有个自私者，但他不是小说中的虚构人物;事实上，他代表使用搜寻引擎的每一个人。

所以，无论我怎么计算，结果总是不分胜负。

正面和负面的发展达成平衡;x 和 y相等;希望和恐惧比例相当。

但后者的发展令我忧心，因为恐惧-天哪!恐惧已成为20xx年一股强大的势力。

看台上围绕着各位毕业生的我们，对每一届毕业生都有相同的期待，希望你们能尽一己之力，使我们免于恐惧。

我们面临许多恐惧，恐惧成了轻易就能售出的商品，就像性一样。

恐惧廉价、容易取得;恐惧引人注目、如八卦般传播迅速，也如八卦般耸动、吸引人、有利可图。

恐惧能扭曲事实，令人变得无知。

恐惧彷佛国内混乱的经济，逐渐波及到所有家庭。

不久前某天，我坐在家里观赏电视球赛转播，看见一则夜间新闻预告：“学校毒害我们的孩子?本专题和夏日最火辣比基尼特辑将于今晚十一点播出。

”当时我家刚好有学龄孩童，我担心他们可能会在学校里遭到毒害，而夏天还要好几周才会来临，所以——我转到新闻台，看看是怎么回事。

这则新闻的实际内容是，某家厂商供应的汉堡被验出某种细菌含量偏高，为了安全起见，这批汉堡将全面停售。

这批汉堡原本预定出售给它州学校餐厅，所幸及时回收。

所以，这则新闻所质疑的问题，答案是——不，学校并没有毒害学生。

但没错，那年夏天海边确实出现一些超辣的比基尼。

美国前海军指挥官john paul jones曾说，“恐惧经过培养将会变得更强大;信念经过培养将会更坚定不移。

”这就是历史吸引我的原因。

因为观察200多年前nathanhale 在美国独立战争中的事迹-他曾经住过那栋大楼——逐一对照20xx年的美国;在我看来，恐惧本身就是一个令人恐惧的存在，恐惧本身充满威胁、阴魂不散。

而我认为，信念深植于我们心中，蕴含在我们独立自主的美国理想中。

恐惧无时无刻地在我们耳边窃窃私语、在我们眼前高声呐喊;而信念必须由你们每天在镜中看到的自己培养。

前者总是紧追在我们身后、纠缠不休、令我们停滞不前;后者则激励我们、带给我们惊喜、刺激我们的创造力、驱使我们不断地前进。

恐惧或信念，何者将成为我们的主宰?有三个人，某天发现他们再也无法安然入眠，因为他们怀着极深的恐惧——这是我要说的故事。

他们的人生因为无时无刻的担忧而停滞不前，于是他们展开一趟朝圣之旅，寻访一位住在深山里的智者。

那座山高耸入云，草木不生，没有任何动物的踪迹。

在如此高耸的深山中，甚至连昆虫也无法生存。

当他们抵达智者所住的洞穴时，第一个人说，“请帮助我，智者，我的恐惧令我寝食难安。

”“你的恐惧是什么?”智者问道。

“我恐惧死亡，”朝圣者说，“我不知道死神何时会将我带走。

”“啊，死亡，”智者说。

“让我替你消除恐惧吧，朋友。

除非你准备投入死亡的怀抱，它才会来找你。

只要明白这个道理，你的恐惧就会消失无踪。

”这段话令朝圣者放下心来，他从此不再恐惧死亡。

智者转向第二位朝圣者说，“你恐惧的是什么，朋友?”“我恐惧我的新邻居，”第二位朝圣者说。

“他们是外地人，过着跟我不同的宗教节日;他们的孩子太多，老是演奏一些听起来像噪音的音乐。

”“啊，外地人，”智者说。

“我会替你消除恐惧，朋友。

回家之后，替你的新邻居烤个蛋糕，送他们孩子一些玩具，加入他们欢唱的行列，了解他们的习俗，这样你就能跟邻居打成一片，恐惧会因此而消失无踪。

”第二位朝圣者领悟到这些简单指示中蕴含的智慧，知道他再也不必对邻居感到恐惧。

这个洞穴位于高耸入云的深山中，没有任何生物能在此生存。

智者转向最后一位朝圣者，询问他的恐惧是什么。

“喔，智者，我害怕蜘蛛。

每当我准备入睡时，总会想象蜘蛛从天花板垂下，爬上我的身体，令我难以入眠。

”“啊，蜘蛛，”智者说。

“该死的，你认为我干嘛要住在这种鬼地方?”恐惧会引发我们内心最脆弱的一面，并将这个影响传播出去。

美国藉由不屈不挠地奋斗，创造一个更完美的联邦;维护正义、确保国家安宁。

历史上的每一天，我们都不断地与外在和内在的恐惧抗争。

美国不畏对岸帝国(英国)以扫除叛乱之名进行报复;美国强大、兼容并蓄。

因为在这里，人民能免于所谓“祖国”(英国)赋予他们的恐惧煎熬。

我们的历史典籍记载了为使人民免于恐惧而引发的种种抗争，例如对抗主张蓄奴制度者，及蓄意使国家陷入扎根于恐惧的暴政和神学政权统治中的人。

美国用所有努力培养出一个信念：当所有人都能自由地选择宗教信仰;当所有人都能自由地表达心中想法;当所有人都能居住在免于恐惧的地方时，我们将生活在和平中。

但我们生活的这个世界，太多人宁可相信及恐惧不存在的事物。

阴谋论盛行;分化对立日益严重;族群间的差异并没有使我们变得更强大，反而被有心人利用，造成彼此对立的情况。

我们的信念面临无法预知的考验，利益挂帅的现象扭曲了大众认知，使信念遭受威胁。

我以五十四年的人生经验告诉大家，建立一个更完美的联邦需要不懈的努力，这是每个人的责任。

美国正逐渐成为更好的国家，证据随处可见。

但日复一日地恐惧就像某位泽西诗人(指著名歌手bruce springsteen)所说的，“潜伏在城市的黑暗角落。

”每当新的一天开始，恐惧都有机会成长茁壮，信念也一样有机会开花结果。

你们将面临屈服于恐惧或建立信念的抉择。

因为你们拥有足以为自己在耶鲁毕业典礼上取得一席之地的智慧，你们将意识到这个抉择时刻，到时你们将明白该怎么做。

在这个时刻来临之前，请深思如何与无止尽的恐惧和它无孔不入的影响力抗争。
