中国学生哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲The Spider's Bite(中英对照)
The Spider’s BiteWhen I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help—but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire.After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth,and ignited the cotton.在我上中学的时候,一只有毒蜘蛛咬伤了我的右手,我去找母亲帮忙,但是她没有找医生,却把我的手放在火上面。
她用酒浸过的棉纱绕着我的手缠了好几层之后,在我的嘴里放了一根筷子,然后点燃了棉纱。
【语言点解析】Poisonous表示有毒的;恶毒的;讨厌的。
例句:A lot of poisonous waste water comes from that chemical factory. 那个化工厂排出大量有毒的废水。
Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The searing pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn - one minute, then two minutes –until mom put out the fire.棉纱上的温度很快上来了,我的手也开始发烫。
这股灼痛让我想要大叫,不过我嘴里含着的筷子让我叫不出来。
我唯一能做的就是看着我的手骨,一分钟过去了,两分钟过去了,直到母亲熄灭火。

[哈佛校长的演讲]Goodbyeandgoodluck Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president。
As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years。
Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us。
今天,我将以校长的身份,最后一次在这个讲台上演讲。
即将离任前,我要感谢诸位学生、教师、校友和员工,而且非常荣幸在过去的5年里能与你们共事。
我们中的一些人意见不尽相同,但是,我知道,我们的共识远远超越分歧。
Some things look different to me than they did five years ago。
The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered。
在我看来,现在于5年前不同了。
今天的哈佛毕业生正在进入的世界和管理人员当年所进入的世界相比已是大相径庭了。
It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read,or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and thepixel; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions,computer platforms, political viewpoints。
奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲中英文
oh my goodness! im at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carlthat was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson,harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend dr. henry lewis gates. all of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteenmillion dollars.and to you, members of the harvard class of 2013! hello! decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find newterritory, break new ground. so i ended the show and launched own, the oprah winfreynetwork. the initials just worked out for me. so one year later after launching ownnearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. not justa flop but a big bold flop they call it. i can still remember the day i opened upusa today and read the headline oprah, not quite standing on her own. i mean really,usa today? now thats the nice newspaper! it really was this time last year the worstperiod in my professional life. i was stressed and i was frustrated and quite franklyi was actually i was embarrassed. and it was all because i wanted to do it by the time i got to speak to you allso thank you so much. you dont know what motivation you were for me, thank you. imevenwhere is he or she? bring them in. its an impressive calling card that can leadto even and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers do what you can wherever youare, from wherever you sit in life. give me your time or your talent your money ifyou have it. and they did. extend yourself in kindness to other human beings whereveryou can. and together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes rita and katrina. so the angel network i have been on the air for a long time, but it was the angelnetwork that actually focused my internal g.p.s. it helped me to decide that i wasntgoing to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, added this, you simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesnt agree withyou, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do thatany longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darknesscan be banished with light. in our political system and in the media we often seethereflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and isself-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are betterthan the cynicism and thepessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable newscycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of peoplein thisand we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are peoplefrom both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should haveaccess to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of securityand opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really whatare you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you dont.maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, classof 2013, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving ingovernment. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simplywant to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the pointis your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politichas thus far made impervious to change. each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school. you now have a chance to betteryour life, the lives of your neighbors and also the life of our country. when youdo that let me tell you what i know for sure. thats when your story gets really good.maya angelou always says when you learn, teach. when you get, give. that my friendsis what gives your story purpose and meaning. so you all have the power in your ownway to develop your own angel network and in doing so your class will be armed withmore tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history. i didit in an analog world. i was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly20,000,000 viewers a day. now here in a world of twitter and facebook and youtubeand tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. youre the generation thatrejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up tovote in record numbers in 2008. and when the pundits said they said they talked aboutyou, they said youd be toodisappointed, youd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. thats whoyou are. this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar forb.s. can you say b.s. at harvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastinessthatthat youll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of viewand help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesnt causeus to lose our ability to stand in somebody elses shoes and recognize all that weshare as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our successas a nation. there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light,says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary friday in december.so whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is i knowthis, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very humanbeingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned longago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i first started because i hadbarbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbaraand then one night i was on the news reading the news and i called canada can-a-da,and that was the end of me being barbara. i cracked myself up on tv. couldnt stoplaughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be amuch better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara.奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲:人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己 oh my goodness! im athaaaaaarvard! thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard universitygraduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way. winfrey also received anhonorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium.温弗瑞演讲中4条最励志的语录谈失败的好处there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in anotherdirection.世间并不存在“失败”,那不过是生活想让我们换个方向走走罢了。
Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿
Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿再大的失败总会翻页“奥普拉秀”在同一时间段的电视节目中连续21年排名第一,我必须说我对于这个成功非常的满足。
但是几年前,我觉得,在人生的某一时刻,你必须重新来过,找到新的领域,实现新的突破。
所以我离开了奥普拉秀,以我的名字命名推出了我自己的电视网络“奥普拉•温福瑞电视网”,缩写正好是“own(自己的)”。
在奥普拉•温福瑞电视网推出一年后,几乎所有的媒体都认为我的新项目是失败的。
他们称之为一个“大写的失败”。
我还记得有一天我打开《今日美国报》时看到头条说“奥普拉搞不定‘自己的’电视网”……这正是去年我职业生涯最低谷的时刻。
说实话,我压力大到近乎崩溃,感到羞愧。
就在那个时候,faust校长打电话邀请我到哈佛做毕业演讲。
我心想:“让我给哈佛的毕业生演讲?我能跟这些世界上最成功的毕业生说什么?我已经不再成功了啊。
”挂了校长的电话后我去洗了个澡。
那个澡,我洗了很长时间,洗澡时我突然想到一首古老赞美诗中的话:“终于,清晨来临”,之后我就想,我的黎明也许要来了。
我又想到那首赞美诗中的另一句话:“困难只是暂时的,都会过去...”当我走出浴室时,我想:我遇到的麻烦,同样会有结束的一天,我会把这一页翻过去,会好起来的。
等我做到了,我就去哈佛,把这个真实的故事告诉大家!今天我来了,并且想告诉你们,我已经把own带上正轨了。
像这样可以吗?我不得不坦言,在我25年的访谈历程中,我所学到的最重要的,我们的人生有一个共同的公分母。
我可以告诉你的是,我们中的大多数人并不愿意被分割。
我在每次访谈中发现我们的“公分母”、我们想要的,就是——我们想要被证实、被认可。
我们渴望被理解。
我的职业生涯中进行了大约35000个访谈,每每关闭摄像机后,几乎所有人都不可避免地转向我,用他们各自的方式,询问着同一个问题:像这样可以吗?布什总统这样问,奥巴马总统也这样问,我在英雄口中听到过这个疑问,同样也在家庭主妇口中听过这句话。
奥普拉演讲译文
奥普拉演讲译文给毕业生的三个经验奥普拉在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(1954)欧普拉·温弗里[1] 这个世界将会教会你们很多。
我认为这个世界,这个地球,就像一个学校,而我们的人生就像教室。
有时这些课程会是弯路和障碍。
有时会充满危机。
我所学的应付这一切的秘密就是去勇于面对这些来自于这座最宏大的大学的课程,即来自于宇宙本身的课程。
[2] 今天我想和大家分享我人生的三个经验,这三个经验对我的人生产生了很大影响,它们必然和感情,失败和追求幸福相关。
感觉就像人生的导航系统[3] 当我离开大学一年后,在巴尔的摩我得到了一个共同主持6点新闻的机会。
当时我正靠近的媒体界的最大目标就是获得更大的市场,而巴尔的摩是一个比纳什维尔大得多的市场,因此在22岁时得到这个机会对我来说非常重要。
它那时对我来说它仿佛是世界上最重要的事。
[4] 我非常自豪,因为我终于有机会去效法芭芭拉·沃尔特斯。
而她正是我从业以来一直效法的对象。
那时我22岁,每年挣22,000美元。
我遇到了在电视台做实习生的盖丽,我最好的朋友。
我们成为好朋友后,曾说:“我的天啊,真难以置信。
你在22岁时挣每年能挣22,000美元。
想象一下吧,当你40岁时你每年就会挣40,000美元”[5] 当我真的40岁时,我很高兴这并没有成真。
[6] 这就是我,22岁时每年挣22,000美元,然而,这种感觉并不好。
正如亨尼斯校长所说,先是他们试图让我改名字。
那时导演对我说:“没人会记住奥普拉这个名字。
因此我们想让你改名字。
我们已经为你想了一个大家都会记住和喜欢的名字—苏茜。
”[7] 苏茜,一个很友善的名字。
你不会厌恶苏茜。
记住苏茜吧。
但是我的名字不是苏茜。
你们可以看到,自小我就不怎么喜欢我的名字。
因为当你在午餐箱和号牌处寻找你的名字时,你永远也不会找到奥普拉。
[8] 我从小就不怎么喜欢我的名字,但是当我被告知去改名字时,我想,好吧,那是我的名字,但是苏茜真的适合我吗?因此我想,它并不适合我。

"there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction."oprah winfrey, talk show host and media entrepreneur, addresses graduates at harvard's 362nd commencement on may 30, XX.oh my goodness! i'm at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephaniewilson, harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend dr. henry lewis gates.all of you alumni with a special bow to the class of '88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.and to you, members of the harvard class of XX! hello!i thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the commencement of your next chapter. to say that i'm honored doesn't even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really accompanies an honorary doctorate from harvard. not too many little girls from rural mississippi have made it all the way here to cambridge. and i can tell you that i consider today as i sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, i consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey. my one hope today is that i can be a source of some inspiration. i'm going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad.actually i was so honored i wanted to do somethingreally special for you. i wanted to be able to have you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but i see you got that covered already. i will be honest with you. i felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that i could share with you that you hadn't heard before because after all you all went to harvard, i did not. but then i realized that you don't have to necessarily go to harvard to have a driven obsessive type a personality. but it helps. and while i may not have graduated from here i admit that my personality is about as harvard as they come. you know my television career began unexpectedly. as you heard this morning i was in the miss fire prevention contest. that was when i was 16 years old in nashville, tennessee and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that i entered. so they were doing the question and answer period because i knew i wasn't going to win under the swimsuit competition. so during the question and answer period the question came "why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?" and by the time they got to me all the good answers weregone. so i had seen barbara walters on the today show that morning so i answered "i would like to be a journalist. i would like to tell other people's stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world." and as those words were coming out of my mouth i went whoa! this is pretty good! i would like to be a journalist. i want to make a difference. well i was on television by the time i was 19 years old. and in 1986 i launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first. i was nervous about the competition and then i became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as i knew. sound familiar to anybody here? eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years.the oprah winfrey show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and i have to tell you i became pretty comfortable with that level of success. but a few years ago i decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground. so i ended the show and launched own, the oprah winfrey network. the initials just worked out for me.so one year later after launching own nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it. i can still remember the day i opened up usa today and read the headline "oprah, not quite standing on her own."i mean really, usa today? now that's the nice newspaper! it really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life. i was stressed and i was frustrated and quite frankly i was actually i was embarrassed. it was right around that time that president faust called and asked me to speak here and i thought you want me to speak to harvard graduates? what could i possibly say to harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when i had stopped succeeding? so i got off the phone with president faust and i went to the shower. it was either that or a bag of oreos. so i chose the shower. and i was in the shower a long time and as i was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me. you may not know it. it's "by and by, when the morning comes." and i started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time i thought i was stuckin a hole. and the words came to me "trouble don't last always" from that hymn, "this too shall pass." and i thought as i got out of the shower i am going to turn this thing around and i will be better for it. and when i do, i'm going to go to harvard and i'm going to speak the truth of it! so i'm here today to tell you i have turned that network around!and it was all because i wanted to do it by the time i got to speak to you all so thank you so much. you don't know what motivation you were for me, thank you. i'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned even as graduates of harvard unless you studied the ancient greek hero with professor nagy. professor nagy as we were coming in this morning said "please ms. winfrey, walk decisively."i shall walk decisively. this is what i want to share. it doesn't matter how far you might rise. at some point you are bound to stumble because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. if you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the myth of icarus predicts that you will at some point fall. and when you do i want youto know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. now when you're down there in the hole, it looks like failure. so this past year i had to spoon feed those words to myself. and when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes, it's really okay to feel bad for a little while. give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here's the key, learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. and then figure out what is the next right move. and the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional that can tell you which way to go. because now and forever more when you google yourself your search results will read "harvard, XX". and in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because i can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when i see "harvard" i sit up a little straighter and say "where is he or she? bring them in." it's an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, ,scientist, physicist, winners of nobel and pulitzer prizes or late night talk show host. but the challenge of life i have found is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be but it's a story about who you want to be. it's a resume that doesn't just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why. a story that's not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that's really about your purpose. because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole that is the story that will get you out. what is your true calling? what is your dharma? what is your purpose? for me that discovery came in 1994 when i interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need. she raised a thousand dollars all by herself and i thought well if that little 9 year old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that i wonder what i could do? so i asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month just from pennies and nickels and dimes we raised more than three million dollars that we used to send one student from every state in the united states to college. that wasthe beginning of the angel network.and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers "do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life. give me your time or your talent your money if you have it." and they did. extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can. and together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes rita and katrina. so the angel network i have been on the air for a long time, but it was the angel network that actually focused my internal it helped me to decide that i wasn't going to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, my interviews, my business, my philanthropy all of it, whatever ventures i might pursue would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me. because what had become clear to me and i want you to know it isn't always clear in the beginning because as i said i had been on television since i was 19 years old. but around '94 i got really clear. so don't expect the clarity to come all at once to know your purpose right away, but whatbecame clear to me was that i was here on earth to use television and not be used by it; to use television to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels. so this angel network, it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped, but the lives of those who also did the helping. it reminded us that no matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe it is both possible and more importantly it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort. i saw something on the bill moore show recently that so reminded me of this point. it was an interview with david and francine wheeler. they lost their 7 year old son, ben in the sandy hook tragedy. and even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks had just been voted down in congress at the time that they were doing this interview they talked about how they refused to be discouraged. francine said this, she said "our hearts are broken but our spirits are not. i'm going to tell them what it's like to find a conversation about change that is love, and i'm going to do that without fighting them." and then her husband david added this, "you simply cannot demonize or vilifysomeone who doesn't agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do that any longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light." in our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the second amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children. they don't have to be incompatible.and we understand that most americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it's possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the statue of liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to ourshores. we can do both.and we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really what are you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you don't. maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of XX, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simply want to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change. each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school. you now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the lifeof our country. when you do that let me tell you what i know for sure. that's when your story gets really good. maya angelou always says "when you learn, teach. when you get, give. that my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning." so you all have the power in your own way to develop your own angel network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.i did it in an analog world. i was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day. now here in a world of twitter and facebook and youtube and tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. you're the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in XX. and when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you'd be too disappointed, you'd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in XX election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. that's who you are.this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar for can you say "" atharvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate.i know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic- an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy. i have to say that the single most important lesson i learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. most of us i tell you we don't want to be divided. what we want, the common denominator that i found in every single interview, is we want to be validated. we want to be understood. i have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question "was that okay?" i heard it from president bush, i heard it from president obama. i've heard it from heroes and from housewives. i've heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes. i even heard it from beyonce and all of her beyonceness. she finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says "was that okay?" friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchangei will tell you they all want to know one thing: was that okay? did you hear me? do you see me? did what i say mean anything to you? and even though this is a college where facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.that you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation. "there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light," says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary friday in december. so whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is i know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i firststarted because i had barbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbara and then one night i was on the news reading the news and i called canada can-a-da, and that was the end of me being barbara. i cracked myself up on tv. couldn't stop laughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be a much better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara.i know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those harvard credentials to the test. but no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. you want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you. theologian howard thurman said it best. he said "don't ask yourself what the world needs. ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who have comealive." the world needs-people like michael stolzenberg from fort lauderdale. when michael was just 8 years old michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet. and in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever. but in losing who he once was michael discovered who he wanted to be. he refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again. he joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the boston marathon bombing would become new amputees michael decided to banish that darkness with light. michael and his brother harris created to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees. by the time harris runs the XX boston marathon. more than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this boston community the way their community came together to support michael. and when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this "first they willbe sad. they're losing something they will never get back and that's scary. i was scared. but they'll be okay. they just don't know that yet." we might not always know it. we might not always see it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but i have faith that no matter what class of XX you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay. i have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change. i have faith because of david and francine wheeler, i have faith because of michael and harris stolzenberg and i have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today. one of them kadija williams who came to harvard four years ago. kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, wal-mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn't smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the harvard class of XX.from time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path but i know this,if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still small voice that is the within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay. you will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world. congratulations class of XX, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening. was that okay?相关推荐:珍藏记忆,给力未来—尚钢书记在毕业典礼上的讲话在高三毕业典礼上的致辞在国培通用技术毕业典礼上的发言在幼儿园大班毕业典礼上的园长致词警院老师毕业典礼上的发言在初三毕业典礼上的发言校长在中学XX届学生毕业典礼上的讲话学员代表在党校毕业典礼上的发言父亲在幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言在儿子幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言稿在毕业典礼上的发言比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿毕业生毕业典礼上的讲话在党校毕业典礼上的发言:在党性锻炼中升华人生价值青春万岁_在毕业典礼上的致辞。
哈佛大学校长的告别演讲(中英对照)
Good bye and good luck!by Lawrence H. Summers, President of Harvard University再见,好运!哈佛大学校长劳伦斯萨默斯Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president. As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years. Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us.I leave with a full heart, grateful for the opportunity I have had to lead this remarkable institution.今天,我将以校长的身份,最后一次在这个讲台上演讲。
即将离任前,我要感谢诸位学生、教师、校友和员工,而且非常荣幸在过去的5年里能与你们共事。
我们中的一些人意见不尽相同,但是,我知道,我们的共识远远超越分歧。
我心满意足的离开哈佛,感激你们给我机会领导这所杰出的学府。
Since I delivered my inaugural address, 56 months ago, I have learned an enormous amount—about higher education, about leadership, and also about myself. Some things look different to me than they did five years ago. The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered.自从56个月前我发表上任讲话以来,我学到了很多——关于高等教育,关于领导艺术,也关于自我完善。

I did not.毕竟你们都进了哈佛深造而我却没有but then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go to Harvard但后来我意识到并不一定要来哈佛to have the driven obsessive type A personality才能塑造出A型强迫症人格的But it helps.但来这还是有用的and Well, I may not have graduated from here,虽然我没从这里毕业I admit that my personality is about this Harvard as they come.我得承认我的个性与哈佛学子的不谋而合You know, my television career began unexpectedly.其实我的电视生涯是在不经意中开始的as you've heard this morning,各位在今天早上已经听说了I was in a Miss Fire Prevention Contest.我参加了防火小姐比赛That was when I was sixteen years old, in Nashville, Tennessee,那还是我16岁的时候当时在田纳西州的纳什维尔and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win,要想赢得比赛就得将头发染红up until the year that I entered.直到我参赛的那年都是如此So they were redoing the "question-and-answer" period,他们沿用了问答的环节because I knew I wasn't going to win in this swimsuit competition.因为我知道我赢不了泳装比赛So, doing the question-and-answer period, the question came:在问答环节中问题是这样的Why, young lady? What would you like to be when you will grow up?小姐长大以后你希望做什么?"And by the time they've got to me all the good answers were gone.轮到我的时候所有的好答案都被别人用光了So, I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning.那天早上我看过了芭芭拉·沃尔特斯的今日秀So I answered: "I would like to be a journalist.于是我就回答说我想成为一名新闻工作者I would like to tell other people stories我想给人们讲述故事in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world."从而影响人们的生活改变整个世界"And as those words were coming out of my mouth,当那些话从我嘴里说出来的时候I went: "Whoa! this is pretty good!"我感觉"哇! 这职业蛮不错的嘛!"I would like to be a journalist. I want to make a difference我要成为一名新闻工作者我要改变世界Well, I was on television by the time I was 19 years old.于是我在19岁那年上了电视and in 1984, I launched my own television show在1984年我推出了自己的电视栏目with a relentless determination to succeed.而这靠的是自己追求成功的坚定决心At first, I was nervous about the competition,起初我害怕与人竞争and then I became my own competition.后来我的竞争对手变成了自己raising the bar every year,每年都为自己设定更高的目标pushing pushing pushing myself as hard as I knew,逼迫自己竭尽所能sound familiar to anybody here.这些是众所周知的了Eventually, we did make it to the top,最终我们终于攀上了巅峰and we stayed there for 25 years.并且保持了25年之久The Oprah Winfrey show奥普拉·温弗瑞的栏目was number one in our time slot for twenty one years.21年来都保持同时段收视冠军的位置And I have to tell you,我得承认I became pretty comfortable with that level of success.这样的成功让我感觉非常好But a few years ago, I decided,但在若干年前我做出了决定as you will, at some point,各位将来也会和我一样that it was time to recalculate,会在某一时刻认为自己要重新开始find new territory, break new ground.寻找新版图开辟新天地So ended the show,于是我停掉了栏目and launched OWN,推出了OWNthe Oprah Winfrey Network.也就是"奥普拉·温弗瑞有线电视网"Initials just worked out for me.我很喜欢缩写词So, one year later after launching on,在推出一年之后nearly every media outlet had proclaimed几乎所有的媒体都宣布that my new venture with a flop,我的新事业失败了not just a flop, but the big bold flop, they call it.不仅是失败用他们的话说是"一败涂地"I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today我至今依然记得那天当我翻开《今日美国》时and read the headline "Oprah - Not Quite Standing On Her 'OWN'".一个大标题映入眼帘"奥普拉-自难成事"I mean, really, USA Today, that's the nice newspaper.我就纳闷了《今日美国》这样的好报纸居然也这样It really was, this time last year,的确去年的这个时侯the worst period in my professional life.是我职业生涯的低谷I was stressed, and I was frustrated.压力感与挫败感油然而生And quite frankly, I was... actually, I was embarrassed.说实话当时感觉身陷窘境it was right around that time, the President Faust called.就在那个节骨眼上福斯特校长给我打电话and asked me to speak here.邀请我来这里做演讲And I thought: "You want me to speak to Harvard graduates?当时我想"您让我来给哈佛毕业生们做演讲?What I... What can I possibly say to Harvard graduates,我能对他们说些什么呢some of the most successful graduates in the world,他们可是世界上最前途无量的一群人啊in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding?而且恰逢我事业失利的时候?So I got off the phone with President Faust,于是我挂断了福斯特校长的电话and I went to the shower.然后去洗了个澡It was either that or a bag of Oreos.要么淋浴要么就去吃一袋奥利奥饼干So I chose a shower.于是我选择去冲个澡and I was in the shower along time.在我淋浴的时候And as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me,一首古老的赞美诗闪过脑海you may not know it. It's "By and By... when the morning comes".你们可能没听过这个"耐心等待曙光终将到来"And I started thinking about when the morning might come.我开始思考自己的曙光何时到来Because when the time I thought I was stuck in a hole因为当我感到身陷困境时and the words came to me:想起了这些诗词Trouble. trouble don't last always from that hymn.困难困难终会过去这也是出自那首赞美诗This too shall pass.它也终会过去And I thought, as I got out of that shower,从浴室出来以后我开始思索I, I'm going to turn this thing around,我要扭转这种局面and I would be better for it.我会变得更好And when I do, I'm going to go to Harvard,一旦我做到了我会去哈佛大学I'm going to speak the truth of it.说出心里话So I'm here today to tell you:所以今天我要跟各位说I have turned that network around!我已让电视网重获新生!And it was all because I wanted to do it而来这里为你们做演讲by the time I got to speak to you or so.就是我唯一的动力Thank you so much!非常感谢你们!You don't know what motivation you are for me. Thank you!你们不知道这给了我多大的动力谢谢了!I'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth同时我要更自豪地分享一件事that you might not have learned, even as graduate of Harvard,尽管你们是哈佛毕业生可能也不知道这个unless you studied the ancient Greek role with professor Nagy,除非你攻读的是纳吉教授的古希腊角色professor Nagy, as we were coming in this morning said:我们今天早上来的时候纳吉教授对我说:Please, Ms. Winfrey, walk decisively.温弗瑞女士请自信地走起来吧!I shall walk decisively.我的确要自信地走起来This is what I want to share.这就是我要分享的事情了It doesn't matter how far you might rise.无论你有多么成功At some point, you are bound to stumble.难免会遇到失意之时Because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar,因为如果你们像我们这样不断提升目标if you are constantly pushing yourself higher, higher,如果你们不断为自己设定更高的目标the Law of averages, not to mention the myth of Icarus,根据常规我指的不是伊卡洛斯神话哦predicts that you will at some point fall.你们会在某时失意And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this:届时我希望各位可以记住一点请记住:There is no such thing as failure.世上没有失败Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.失败只不过是命运试图将我们推向另一个方向罢了Now, when you down in a hole, it looks like failure.当你身处困境时这只是看似一种失败而已So, this past year, I had to spoon-feed those words to myself.在过去的一年中我时刻提醒自己牢记这一点And when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes,当你深陷困境时在那个时刻到来之时it's really okay to feel bad for a little while.暂时的难过是正常的Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost.给自己一点时间去哀叹失去的一切But then here's the key:然后就是关键所在Learn from every mistake.从每次的失误中汲取经验教训Because every experience encounter, and particularly your mistakes,因为所有的经验尤其是你的失误are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.都会让你学到东西促使你找回自我And then figure out what is in the next right move.然后确定下一步该何去何从And the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional GPS命运的关键在于培育出一个内在的道德情感导航仪that can tell you which way to go.使其能够为你指明方向Because now and forevermore, when you Google yourself,因为从今以后当你用谷歌搜索自己的时候your search results will read: Harvard, 2013.搜索结果中会提到哈佛大学2013 and in a very competitive world, that really is a calling card,在这个充满竞争的世界那的确是一张抢眼的名片cause I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people,就我个人而言我曾招聘过很多人when I see Harvard,当我看到哈佛大学的字眼时I sit a little bit straighter and say,我总是会坐直一些然后说Where if he or she? Bring them in.他们在哪? 把他们统统带过来It's an impressive calling card正是这张抢眼的名片that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead.可以成就你们的未来之路Lawyer, senator,你们可能成为律师参议员CEO, scientist, physicist,首席执行官科学家物理学家winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes,诺贝尔奖及普利策奖得主or late night talk show host.乃至深夜谈话节目主持人But the challenge of life I found is to build a resume但我发现命运的挑战在于创建一份履历that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be,其中不仅应陈述你所期望的职位but it's a story about who you want to be.也应明确你要成就怎样的自我It's a resume that doesn't just tell a story这份履历不仅要陈述about what you want to accomplish, but why.你想成就一番怎样的事业也要明确动机A story that's not just a collection of titles and positions,不仅要陈述心中的头衔与职位but a story that is really about your purpose.也要说出做出这些目标的因由because when you inadvertently stumble,因为当你不慎绊倒and find yourself stuck in a hole,发现自己深陷困境之时that is the story that will get you out.这种动机可以让你从中摆脱What is your true calling? What is your dogma?你的原始动机是什么?你的信仰是什么?What is your purpose?你的意图是又什么?For me, that discovery came in 1994,我是在1994年认识到这一点的when I interviewed a little girl当时我采访了一位小女孩who had decided to collect pocket change,她决定积攒零钱in order to help other people in need.帮助其他有需要的人She raised a thousand dollars all by herself,她凭一己之力积攒了一千美元and I thought:当时我想Well, what that little nine-year old girl,一个九岁大的小女孩with a bucket and a big heart, could do that,仅凭一个存钱罐与雄心壮志就能做到这样and I wondered what I could do?那么我可以做些什么呢?So, I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection,于是我号召我的观众们捐出他们的零钱and in one month, just from pennies, and nickels and dimes,在一个月内仅仅是那些面值极小的零钱we raised more than three million dollars我们就募到了三百多万美元that we used to send one student我们用这笔钱将每个州的一位学子from every state in the United States to college.送入了大学的殿堂That was the beginning of the Angel Network.天使网络便从那时开始运作了And so, what I did was I simply ask our viewers,我所做的仅仅是号召我们的观众do what you can, wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life,尽己所能无论地域与地位giving your time, your talent, your money if you have it,如果可能请拿出你们的时间智慧与财力and they did,他们也的确鼎力相助extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can.无论你在哪里请为他人送去自己的仁爱之心And, together, we built 55 schools in 12 different countries,与此同时我们在12个州成立了55所学校and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated修缮了300栋曾被飓风丽塔by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.与飓风卡特里娜摧毁的民宅So, the Angel Network, I've been on the air for a long time.天使网络的想法在我心中萦绕已久But it was the Angel Network that actually focused my internal GPS.正是天使网络让我确定了心中的那个导航仪It helped me to decide that I wasn't just going to be on TV every day,它使我决定不再单一地从事电视事业but that the goal of my shows, my interviews,还要关注我的栏目目标我的采访my business, my philanthropy, all of it,我的业务我的慈善事业等等whatever ventures I might pursue无论我追求的是什么我都会明确would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming将我们团结在一起的信念终将and compelling than anything that separates me.远远胜过拆散我们的一切事物Because what has become clear to me, and I want you to know因为希望各位明白我所认清的道理it isn't always clear in the beginning.起初通常是不够明确的Because as I said, I've been on television since I was 19 years old.因为我曾说过我在19岁那年初登荧屏But around '94, I got really clear.但到了1994年我才明白这些道理So, don't expect the clarity to come all at once因此不要指望能即可明晰所有的事to know your purpose right away,不要指望能即刻认清自身的志向所在but what became clear to me was但当时我清楚地知道that I was here on earth to use television我在利用电视and not be used by it,而不是被电视所利用to use television利用电视媒体to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels.彰显我们更好的天使的超凡力量So, this Angel Network,因此对于天使网络而言it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped,它并不只会改变那些得到帮助的人but the lives of those who also did the helping.也会改变那些施予帮助的人It reminded us that no matter who we are or what we looked like,它提醒我们无论是谁外表怎样or what we may believe, it is both possible.心存何种信念都有可能实现目标And more importantly, it becomes powerful to come together更重要的是凭借共同的目的与共同的努力in common purpose and common effort.它将变得更为强大I saw something on the Bill Moyers show, recently,最近我在比尔莫耶斯访谈节目中看到的一些事情that so reminded me of this point.使我更加明确了这一点It was an interview with David and Francine Wheeler.当时的访谈对象是大卫与法兰欣·威勒夫妇They lost their seven-year-old son, Ben, in the Sandy Hook tragedy.在桑迪岬惨案中他们失去了年仅七岁的儿子本And even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks然而就在他们接受采访的同时has been voted down in congress at the time they were doing this interview.加强背景调查的枪支安全法遭到了国会的投票否决They talked about how they refused to be discouraged.他们说自己绝不会气馁Francine said this.

Oprah(奥普拉)在斯坦福2008年毕业典礼上的演讲
Oprah,相信很多人都知道,美国一个非常有名的脱口秀主持人,她绝对是个非主流的主持人,首先她是个黑人,而且她长的还很胖,很难看,但就是这个又黑又丑的女人征服了无数美国观众,2008年她被邀请到Stanford做commencement speech,就是下面这个:这个演讲应该很容易听懂,不翻译了,实在听不懂看这里这个演讲延续了Oprah诙谐幽默的主持风格,将了3个方面的问题:感情,失败和最求幸福(feelings, failure and finding happiness.)1. feeling:When you're doing the work you're meant to do, it feels right and every day is a bonus, regardless of what you're getting paid.Every right decision I've made—every right decision I've ever made—has come from my gut. And every wrong decision I've ever made was a result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself.You want your work to be meaningful. Because meaning is what brings the real richness to your life. What you really want is to be surrounded by people you trust and treasure and by people who cherish you. That's when you're really rich.2. learn from the failure:I'd built that school from the outside in, when what really mattered was the inside out. What matters most is what's inside. What matters most is the sense of integrity, of quality and beauty.3.happiness:you have to live for the present. You have to be in the moment. Whatever has happened to you in your past has no power over this present moment, because life is now.Don't live for yourself alone. This is what I know for sure: In order to be truly happy, you must live along with and you have to stand for something larger than yourself. Because life is a reciprocal exchange. To move forward you have to give back. And to me, that is the greatest lesson of life. To be happy, you have to give something back.The lesson here is clear, and that is, if you're hurting, you need to help somebody ease their hurt. If you're in pain, help somebody else's pain. And when you're in a mess, you get yourself out of the mess helping somebody out of theirs.Not everybody can be famous. But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service。
【毕业典礼发言稿】Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿
三一文库()/演讲稿/毕业典礼发言稿〔Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿〕was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿再大的失败总会翻页“奥普拉秀”在同一时间段的电视节目中连续21年排名第一,我必须说我对于这个成功非常的满足。
但是几年前,我觉得,在人生的某一时刻,你必须重新来过,找到新的领域,实现新的突破。
所以我离开了奥普拉秀,以我的名字命名推出了我自己的电视网络“奥普拉温福瑞电视网”,缩写正好是“own(自己的)”。
在奥普拉温福瑞电视网推出一年后,几乎所有的媒体都认为我的新项目是失败的。
他们称之为一个“大写的失败”。
我还记得有一天我打开《今日美国报》时看到头条说“奥普拉搞不定自己的电视网”……这正是去年我职业生涯最低谷的时刻。
说实话,我压力大到近乎崩溃,感到羞愧。
就在那个时候,faust校长打电话邀请我到哈佛做毕业演讲。
我心想:“让我给哈佛的毕业生演讲?我能跟这些世界上最成功的毕业生说什么?我已经不再成功了啊。
”挂了校长的电话后我去洗了个澡。
那个澡,我洗了很长时间,洗澡时我突然想到一首古老赞美诗中的话:“终于,清晨来临”,之后我就想,我的黎明也许要来了。
我又想到那首赞美诗中的另一句话:“困难只是暂时的,都会过去...”当我走出浴室时,我想:我遇到的麻烦,同样会有结束的一天,我会把这一页翻过去,会好起来的。
等我做到了,我就去哈佛,把这个真实的故事告诉大家!今天我来了,并且想告诉你们,我已经把own带上正轨了。
像这样可以吗?我不得不坦言,在我25年的访谈历程中,我所学到的最重要的,我们的人生有一个共同的公分母。
我可以告诉你的是,我们中的大多数人并不愿意被分割。
我在每次访谈中发现我们的“公分母”、我们想要的,就是——我们想要被证实、被认可。
我们渴望被理解。
我的职业生涯中进行了大约35000个访谈,每每关闭摄像机后,几乎所有人都不可避免地转向我,用他们各自的方式,询问着同一个问题:像这样可以吗?布什总统这样问,奥巴马总统也这样问,我在英雄口中听到过这个疑问,同样也在家庭主妇口中听过这句话。
英文演讲稿:哈佛校长的毕业典礼演讲稿,让我们一起追求最有意义的人生
英文演讲稿:哈佛校长的毕业典礼演讲稿,让我们一起追求最有意义的人生Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty members, and distinguished graduates of Harvard University's class of 2021, it is an immense honor for me to be standing here before you on such a momentous occasion. Before I begin, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to each and every one of you for reaching this incredible milestone in your lives. Graduating from Harvard University is no small feat, and youall deserve to be immensely proud of yourselves.As I stand here today, I am filled with a deep sense of admiration and respect for all of you. Not only have you worked incredibly hard to earn your degrees, but you havealso persevered through one of the most challenging periodsin our history. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about unprecedented challenges, and the fact that you have managedto overcome them and achieve your goals is a testament toyour fortitude and resilience.However, as you embark on the next phase of your journey, I urge you to remember that your education at Harvard represents only a small fraction of what is yet to come. Theworld that lies ahead is full of uncertainties, and it is upto each one of you to carve your own path and create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling.In my own life, I have learned that true success is not measured by material wealth or professional accolades. Rather, it is defined by the impact that we have on the world and the people around us. As you set out on your own personal journeys, I encourage you to pursue your passions and dreams relentlessly, but always remember that the most rewarding experiences in life often stem from putting others before ourselves.In this regard, I believe that the most important aspectof your education at Harvard is not the knowledge that you have gained, but rather the character and values that youhave developed along the way. The most meaningful lives are those that are rooted in empathy, kindness, and selflessness, and it is my hope that you will continue to cultivate these qualities as you move forward in life.As graduates of Harvard University, you have been givenan incredible gift and an immense responsibility. You havethe power to shape the future and make a difference in thelives of countless individuals around the world. So go forth with courage and conviction, and always strive to pursue the most meaningful life that you can imagine.In closing, I would like to share a quote that has always inspired me in my own life: "The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors, and I have every confidence that you will go on to lead lives of purpose and significance. Congratulations again, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this momentous occasion.。
哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——成功的秘诀
哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——成功的秘诀Dear graduates and esteemed guests,It is an incredible honor to speak to you on this momentous day – the day of your Harvard graduation. Congratulations to the class of 2021 on your academic achievement and future potential. Today, I want to talk to you about the secrets of success and how to achieve your dreams.But first, let me be clear: success is not one singular thing that can simply be pursued and achieved. Success looks different to different people. So, it is important to define what success means to you and set goals that get you closerto that definition of success. Whether it is financial security, personal fulfillment, academic achievement, or anything else, your goals should motivate you to work hard and push yourself.One of the most important secrets to success is to have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, and the ability to take action towards achieving that vision. In other words,successful people know exactly what they want and they work hard to make their dreams a reality.But, how can you set and achieve your goals? The answer is simple: hard work and dedication. You can have all the talent in the world, but without hard work and perseverance, success is unattainable. Nothing worthwhile comes easy, but if you set yourself up for success through hard work and dedication, anything is possible.Another secret to success is to surround yourself with successful people. Studies have shown that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Therefore, it is essential that you choose your friends and acquaintances wisely. Surround yourself with people who are positive and supportive, and who push you towards your goals. People who believe in your potential and encourage you to keep going are essential to achieving success.Lastly, remember that failure is an essential part of success. Failure is scary and embarrassing, but it is also necessary for growth and improvement. Every successful person has failed at some point in their life, but they used their failures as teaching moments to help them improve and succeedin the future. So, don't shy away from failure. Embrace it and use it as a catalyst for growth.In conclusion, there is no one-size-fits-all secret to success, but there are common threads amongst successful people. They have a clear vision of what success means to them, they work hard and persevere, they surround themselves with successful people, and they view failure as a necessary part of the journey. I hope these tips will help you set and achieve your goals, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.Congratulations once again, class of 2021. The world is your oyster, and I can't wait to see what you do with it.。

As we celebrate your achievements and the beginning of a new chapter in your lives, I want to talk about the importance of working together to create a brighter future for all of us.We are living in challenging times, with many issues that require our attention and action. Climate change, social inequality, and political division are just some of the problems that threaten our well-being and the health of our planet. However, I firmly believe that by collaborating and embracing our diversity, we can overcome these challenges and achieve greatness.As graduates of one of the most prestigious universitiesin the world, you have been given a unique set of tools to succeed in your personal and professional life. However, itis not just about what you know, but how you use that knowledge to make a difference in the world.

哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——提升思维和创造力
哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——提升思维和创造力Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and most importantly, my fellow graduates of Harvard University. It is a great honor for me to stand here today and address you on such a significant occasion.As we gather here on the steps of this prestigious institution, we are all filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and satisfaction. But as we look forward to our future, we must remember that the path ahead is not always straight, and that it is up to us to chart our own course.One of the key skills we must develop is the ability to think critically and creatively. In today's fast-paced andever-changing world, it is essential that we are able to process information quickly, analyze it effectively, and come up with innovative solutions to the problems we face.To achieve this, we must first challenge the way we think. We must learn to question the status quo, challenge conventional wisdom, and think outside the box. We must be open to new perspectives and willing to embrace change.But simply having the ability to think creatively is not enough. We must also have the courage to act on our ideas and take risks. We must be willing to fail and learn from our mistakes.While we have been fortunate enough to receive an education from one of the most prestigious universities inthe world, we must also recognize that education does not end here. We must continue to learn and grow throughout our lives.We must seek out new experiences, embrace diversity, and engage with the world around us. We must remain curious, ask questions, and never be satisfied with the status quo.As we leave Harvard today, we have been given the toolswe need to succeed in life. But it is up to us to apply these tools and transform our knowledge into action.So, my fellow graduates, as we embark on this excitingnew chapter in our lives, I urge you to remember the importance of creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. I urge you to never give up on your dreams, to take risks, and to embrace the unknown.Together, we can create a better future for ourselves and for the world. Thank you, and congratulations to the Class of 2021.。

奥普拉温弗瑞哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿奥普拉2013哈佛大学毕业典礼英语演讲稿Oh my goodness I m at Harvard Wow To President Faust, my fellow honorands, Carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson, Harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend Dr. Henry Lewis Gates. All of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteen million dollars. And to you, members of the Harvard class of 2013 Hello I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the commencement of your next chapter. To say that I m honored doesn t even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really accompanies an honorary doctorate from Harvard. Not too many little girls from rural Mississippi have made it all the way here to Cambridge. And I can tell you that I consider today as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, I consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey. My one hope today is that I can be a source of some inspiration. I m going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad. Actually I was so honored I wanted to do something really special for you. I wanted to beable to have you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but I see you got that covered already.I will be honest with you. I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that I could share with you that you hadn t heard before because after all you all went to Harvard, I did not. But then I realized that you don t have to necessarily go to Harvard to have a driven obsessive Type A personality. But it helps. And while I may not have graduated from here I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they come. You know my television career began unexpectedly. As you heard this morning I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest. That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that I entered. So they were doing the question and answer period because I knew I wasn t going to win under the swimsuit competition. So during the question and answe r period the question came “Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up“ And by the time they got to me all the good answers were gone. So I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered “I would like to be a journal ist. I would like to tell other people s stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and theworld.“ And as those words were coming out of my mouth I went whoa This is pretty good I would like to be a journalist. I want to make a difference. Well I was on television by the time I was 19 years old. And in 1986 I launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first. I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew. Sound familiar to anybody here Eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years. The Oprah Winfrey Show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and I have to tell you I became pretty comfortable with that level of success. But a few years ago I decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground. So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network. The initials just worked out for me. So one year later after launching OWN nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. Not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it. I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today and read the headline “Oprah, not quite standing on her OWN.“ I mean really, USA Today Now that s the nice newspaper It really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life. I wasstressed and I was frustrated and quite frankly I was actually I was embarrassed. It was right around that time that President Faust called and asked me to speak here and I thought you want me to speak to Harvard graduates What could I possibly say to Harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding So I got off the phone with President Faust and I went to the shower. It was either that or a bag of Oreos. So I chose the shower. And I was in the shower a long time and as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me. You may not know it. It s “By and by, when the morning comes.“ And I started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time I thought I was stuck in a hole. And the words came to me “Trouble don t last always“ from that hymn, “this t oo shall pass.“ And I thought as I got out of the shower I am going to turn this thing around and I will be better for it. And when I do, I m going to go to Harvard and I m going to speak the truth of it So I m here today to tell you I have turned that network around And it was all because I wanted to do it by the time I got to speak to you all so thank you so much. You don t know what motivation you were for me, thank you. I m even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned evenas graduates of Harvard unless you studied the ancient Greek hero with Professor Nagy. Professor Nagy as we were coming in this morning said “Please Ms. Winfrey, walk decisively.“ I shall walk decisively. This is what I want to share. It doesn t matter how far you might rise. At some point you are bound to stumble because if you re constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. If you re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the Myth of Icarus predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do I want you to know this, remember this there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. Now when you re down there in the hole, it looks like failure. So this past year I had to spoon feed those words to myself. And when you re down in the hole, when that moment comes, it s really okay to feel bad for a little while. Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here s the key, learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. And then figure out what is the next right move. And the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional G.P.S. that can tell you which way to go. Because now and forever more when you Google yourself yoursearch results will read “Harvard, 2013“. And in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when I see “Harvard“ I sit up a little straighter and say “Where is he or she Bring them in.“ it s an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead lawyer, senator, C.E.O., scientist, physicist, winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes or late night talk show host. But the challenge of life I have found is to build a resume that doesn t simply tell a story about what you want to be but it s a story about who you want to be. It s a resume that doesn t just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why. A story that s not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that s really about your purpose. Because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole that is the story that will get you out. What is your true calling What is your dharma What is your purpose For me that discovery came in 1994 when I interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need. She raised a thousand dollars all by herself and I thought well if that little 9 year old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that I wonder what I could do So I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month just frompennies and nickels and dimes we raised more than three million dollars that we used to send one student from every state in the United States to college. That was the beginning of the Angel Network. And so what I did was I simply asked our viewers “Do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life. Give me your time or your talent your money if you have it.“ And they did. Extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can. And together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes Rita and Katrina. So the Angel Network I have been on the air for a long time, but it was the Angel Network that actually focused my internal G.P.S. It helped me to decide that I wasn t going to just be on TV every day but that the goal of my shows, my interviews, my business, my philanthropy all of it, whatever ventures I might pursue would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me. Because what had become clear to me and I want you to know it isn t always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old. But around 94 I got really clear. So don t expect the clarity to come all at once to know your purpose right away, but what became clear to me was that Iwas here on earth to use television and not be used by it; to use television to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels. So this Angel Network, it didn t just change the lives of those who were helped, but the lives of those who also did the helping. It reminded us that no matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe it is both possible and more importantly it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort. I saw something on the Bill Moore Show recently that so reminded me of this point. It was an interview with David and Francine Wheeler. They lost their 7 year old son, Ben in the Sandy Hook tragedy. And even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks had just been voted down in Congress at the time that they were doing this interview they talked about how they refused to be discouraged. Francine said this, she said “Our hearts are broken but our spirits are not. I m going to tell them what it s like to find a conversation about change that is love, and I m going to do that without fighting them.“ And then her husband David added this, “You simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesn t agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. And we cannot do that any longer. The problem is too enormous. There has to be some way that thisdarkness can be banished with light.“ In our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested. And yet, I know you know the truth. We all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout Washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle. Not my channel, by the way. We understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the Second Amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children. They don t have to be incompatible. And we understand that most Americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it s possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the Statue of Liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to our shores. We can do both. And we understand. I know you do because you went to Harvard. There are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity. So the questionis what are we going to do about it Really what are you going to do about it Maybe you agree with these beliefs. Maybe you don t. Maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of 2013, are passionate about. Maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government. Maybe you want to launch your own television show. Or maybe you simply want to collect some change. Your parents would appreciate that about now. The point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change. Each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school. You now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the life of our country. When you do that let me tell you what I know for sure. That s when your story gets really good. Maya Angelou always says “When you learn, teach. When you get, give. That my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning.“ So you all have the power in your own way to develop your own Angel Network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.I did it in an analog world. I was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day. Now here ina world of Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. You re the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in 2008. And when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you d be too disappointed, you d be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012 election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. That s who you are. This generation your generation I know has developed a finely honed radar for B.S. Can you say “B.S.“ at Harvard The spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate. I know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic- an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy. I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. Most of us I tell you we don t want to be divided. What we want, the common denominator that I found in every single interview, is we want to be validated. We want to be understood. I have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question “Was thatokay“ I heard it from President Bush, I heard it from President Obama. I ve heard it from heroes and from housewives. I ve heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes. I even heard it from Beyonce and all of her Beyonceness. She finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says “Was that okay“ Friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchange I will tell you they all want to know one thing was that okay Did you hear me Do you see me Did what I say mean anything to you And even though this is a college where Facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with. That you ll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn t cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else s shoes and recognize all that we share as a people. This is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation. “There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light,“ says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary Friday in December. So whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is I know this, there is a light inside each of you all of usthat illuminates your very human beingness if you let it. And as a young girl from rural Mississippi I learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be Barbara Walters. Although when I first started because I had Barbara in my head I would try to sit like Barbara, talk like Barbara, move like Barbara and then one night I was on the news reading the news and I called Canada Can-a-da, and that was the end of me being Barbara. I cracked myself up on TV. Couldn t stop laughing and my real personality came through and I figured out oh gee, I can be a much better Oprah than I could be a pretend Barbara. I know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those Harvard credentials to the test. But no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you. Theologian Howard Thurman said it best. He said “Don t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who havecome alive.“ The world needs- People like Michael Stolzenberg from Fort Lauderdale. When Michael was just 8 years old Michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet. And in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever. But in losing who he once was Michael discovered who he wanted to be. He refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again. He joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the Boston Marathon bombing would become new amputees Michael decided to banish that darkness with light. Michael and his brother Harris created to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees. By the time Harris runs the 2014 Boston Marathon. More than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this Boston community the way their community came together to support Michael. And when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this “First they will be sad. They re losing something they will never get back and that s scary. I was scared. But they ll be okay. They just don t know that yet.“ We might not always know it. We might not alwayssee it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but I have faith that no matter what class of 2013 you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay. I have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change. I have faith because of David and Francine Wheeler, I have faith because of Michael and Harris Stolzenberg and I have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today. One of them Kadija Williams who came to Harvard four years ago. Kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, Wal-Mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn t smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the Harvard class of 2013. From time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and yo。
