盘点国际政坛上五花八门的马拉松式演讲
盘点国际政坛上五花八门的马拉松式演讲美国共和党籍国会参议员兰德·保罗6日利用议事程序，演讲将近13个小时，直至7日凌晨，迫使参议院推迟对总统奥巴马提名国土安全及反恐事务顾问布伦南出任中央情报局局长的确认投票。
冗长发言得到共和党同僚“声援”。
保罗等人抗议司法部长霍尔德拒绝排除在美国本土动用无人机攻击美国籍恐怖嫌疑人的可能性。
莎士比亚都“搬”出来了保罗于美国东部时间6日中午11时47分开始演讲，围绕联邦政府不排除在本土动用无人机攻击美国公民，试图阻止参议院投票决定是否批准布伦南出任中情局长。
他声称会一直说到嗓子哑了为止，要求奥巴马政府“交代”无人机秘密计划。
以冗长发言阻挠议事的策略由来已久。
依照参议院议事程序，参议员可以发表长时间演讲，直到他无法继续。
保罗可能无法阻止参议院对布伦南的确认投票。
不过，这一策略至少保证参议院当天没有时间就此投票。
通过布伦南出任中情局长只需要简单多数的51票，而民主党人在参议院占55席，一些共和党籍参议员同样支持布伦南出任中情局长。
参议院多数党、即民主党领袖哈里·里德在辩论6个多小时后上台要求在90分钟内结束辩论，遭保罗拒绝。
保罗当时说：“大家应该为明天做打算……”里德先前打算6日推动参议院就是否同意布伦南出任中情局长投票，因保罗长时间演讲而无法实施。
而且，如果里德要求停止辩论，需要一些共和党籍参议员支持，缘由是依据参议院规定，100名参议员中60人赞成才能停止一项辩论。
犹他州参议员迈克·李、得克萨斯州参议员特德·克鲁兹和佛罗里达州参议员马尔科·鲁比奥等12名参院共和党人陆续上台发言助力保罗，甚至念莎士比亚诗句消磨时间，以便他下台喝水并吃点东西。
不能坐下不能上厕所马拉松演讲不容易阻挠议事Filibuster，源自西班牙语，原意是指海盗劫持船只向船东勒索获得赎金。
而在美国政治中，它被引申为少数派利用拖延战术来阻止议案通过的企图。

超经典的被认为是纳米技术源头的费曼演讲：TheresPlentyofRoomattheBottom
超经典的被认为是纳米技术源头的费曼演讲：TheresPlentyofRoomattheBottom1959年在加州理工学院的物理年会上所作。
非常欣赏费曼这个人，这篇演讲中他对纳米技术的许多预言在今天都变成了现实。
There's Plenty of Room at the BottomAn Invitation to Enter a New Field of Physicsby Richard P. FeynmanI imagine experimental physicists must often look with envy at men like Kamerlingh Onnes, who discovered a field like low temperature, which seems to be bottomless and in which one can go down and down. Such a man is then a leader and has some temporary monopoly in a scientific adventure. Percy Bridgman, in designing a way to obtain higher pressures, opened up another new field and was able to move into it and to lead us all along. The development of ever higher vacuum was a continuing development of the same kind. I would like to describe a field, in which little has been done, but in which an enormous amount can be done in principle. This field is not quite the same as the others in that it will not tell us much of fundamental physics (in the sense of, ``What are the strange particles?'') but it is more like solid-state physics in the sense that it might tell us much of great interest about the strange phenomena that occur in complex situations. Furthermore, a point that is most important is that it would have an enormous number of technical applications.What I want to talk about is the problem of manipulating andcontrolling things on a small scale.As soon as I mention this, people tell me about miniaturization, and how far it has progressed today. They tell me about electric motors that are the size of the nail on your small finger. And there is a device on the market, they tell me, by which you can write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. But that's nothing; that's the most primitive, halting step in the direction I intend to discuss. It is a staggeringly small world that is below. In the year 2000, when they look back at this age, they will wonder why it was not until the year 1960 that anybody began seriously to move in this direction.Why cannot we write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica on the head of a pin?Let's see what would be involved. The head of a pin is a sixteenth of an inch across. If you magnify it by 25,000 diameters, the area of the head of the pin is then equal to the area of all the pages of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica. Therefore, all it is necessary to do is to reduce in size allthe writing in the Encyclopaedia by 25,000 times. Is that possible? The resolving power of the eye is about 1/120 of an inch---that is roughly the diameter of one of the little dots on the fine half-tone reproductions in the Encyclopaedia. This, when you demagnify it by 25,000 times, is still 80 angstroms in diameter---32 atoms across, in an ordinary metal. In other words, one of those dots still would contain in its area 1,000 atoms. So, each dot can easily be adjusted in size as required by the photoengraving, and there is no question that there is enoughroom on the head of a pin to put all of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.Furthermore, it can be read if it is so written. Let's imagine that it is written in raised letters of metal; that is, where the black is in the Encyclopedia, we have raised letters of metal that are actually 1/25,000 of their ordinary size. How would we read it?If we had something written in such a way, we could read it using techniques in common use today. (They will undoubtedly find a better way when we do actually have it written, but to make my point conservatively I shall just take techniques we know today.) We would press the metal into a plastic material and make a mold of it, then peel the plastic off very carefully, evaporate silica into the plastic to get a very thin film, then shadow it by evaporating gold at an angle against the silica so that all the little letters will appear clearly, dissolve the plastic away from the silica film, and then look through it with an electron microscope!There is no question that if the thing were reduced by 25,000 times in the form of raised letters on the pin, it would be easy for us to read it today. Furthermore; there is no question that we would find it easy to make copies of the master; we would just need to press the same metal plate again into plastic and we would have another copy.How do we write small?The next question is: How do we write it? We have no standard technique to do this now. But let me argue that it is not as difficult as it first appears to be. We can reverse the lenses ofthe electron microscope in order to demagnify as well as magnify.A source of ions, sent through the microscope lenses in reverse, could be focused to a very small spot. We could write with that spot like we write in a TV cathode ray oscilloscope, by going across in lines, and having an adjustment which determines the amount of material which is going to be deposited as we scan in lines.This method might be very slow because of space charge limitations. There will be more rapid methods. We could first make, perhaps by some photo process, a screen which has holes in it in the form of the letters. Then we would strike an arc behind the holes and draw metallic ions through the holes; then we could again use our system of lenses and make a small image in the form of ions, which would deposit the metal on the pin.A simpler way might be this (though I am not sure it would work): We take light and, through an optical microscope running backwards, we focus it onto a very small photoelectric screen. Then electrons come away from the screen where the light is shining. These electrons are focused down in size by the electron microscope lenses to impinge directly upon the surface of the metal. Will such a beam etch away the metal if it is run long enough? I don't know. If it doesn't work for a metal surface, it must be possible to find some surface with which to coat the original pin so that, where the electrons bombard, a change is made which we could recognize later.There is no intensity problem in these devices---not what you are used to in magnification, where you have to take a few electrons and spread them over a bigger and bigger screen; it isjust the opposite. The light which we get from a page is concentrated onto a very small area so it is veryintense. The few electrons which come from the photoelectric screen are demagnified down to a very tiny area so that, again, they are very intense. I don't know why this hasn't been done yet!That's the Encyclopaedia Brittanica on the head of a pin, but let's consider all the books in the world. The Library of Congress has approximately 9 million volumes; the British Museum Library has 5 million volumes; there are also 5 million volumes in the National Library in France. Undoubtedly there are duplications, so let us say that there are some 24 million volumes of interest in the world.What would happen if I print all this down at the scale we have been discussing? How much space would it take? It would take, of course, the area of about a million pinheads because, instead of there being just the 24 volumes of the Encyclopaedia, there are 24 million volumes. The million pinheads can be put in a square of a thousand pins on a side, or an area of about 3 square yards. That is to say, the silica replica with the paper-thin backing of plastic, with which we have made the copies, with all this information, is on an area of approximately the size of 35 pages of the Encyclopaedia. That is about half as many pages as there are in this magazine. All of the information which all of mankind has every recorded in books can be carried around in a pamphlet in your hand---and not written in code, but a simple reproduction of the original pictures, engravings, and everything else on a small scale without loss of resolution.What would our librarian at Caltech say, as she runs all over from one building to another, if I tell her that, ten years from now, all of the information that she is struggling to keep track of--- 120,000 volumes, stacked from the floor to the ceiling, drawers full of cards, storage rooms full of the older books---can be kept on just one library card! When the University of Brazil, for example, finds that their library is burned, we can send them a copy of every book in our library by striking off a copy from the master plate in a few hours and mailing it in an envelope no bigger or heavier than any other ordinary air mail letter.Now, the name of this talk is ``There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom''---not just ``There is Room at the Bottom.'' What I have demonstrated is that there is room---that you can decrease the size of things in a practical way. I now want to show that there is plenty of room. I will not now discuss how we are going to do it, but only what is possible in principle---in other words, what is possible according to the laws of physics. I am not inventing anti-gravity, which is possible someday only if the laws are not what we think. I am telling you what could be done if the laws are what we think; we are not doing it simply because we haven't yet gotten around to it.Information on a small scaleSuppose that, instead of trying to reproduce the pictures and all the information directly in its present form, we write only the information content in a code of dots and dashes, or something like that, to represent the various letters. Each letter representssix or seven ``bits'' of information; that is, you need only about six or seven dots or dashes for each letter. Now, instead of writing everything, as I did before, on the surface of the head of a pin, I am going to use the interior of the material as well. Let us represent a dot by a small spot of one metal, the next dash, by an adjacent spot of another metal, and so on. Suppose, to be conservative, that a bit of information is going to require a little cube of atoms 5 times 5 times 5---that is 125 atoms. Perhaps we need a hundred and some odd atoms to make sure that the information is not lost through diffusion, or through some other process.I have estimated how many letters there are in the Encyclopaedia, and I have assumed that each of my 24 million books is as big as an Encyclopaedia volume, and have calculated, then, how many bits of information there are (10^15). For each bit I allow 100 atoms. And it turns out that all of the information that man has carefully accumulated in all the books in the world can be written in this form in a cube of material one two-hundredth of an inch wide--- which is the barest piece of dust that can be made out by the human eye. So there is plenty of room at the bottom! Don't tell me about microfilm!This fact---that enormous amounts of information can be carried in an exceedingly small space---is, of course, well known to the biologists, and resolves the mystery which existed before we understood all this clearly, of how it could be that, in the tiniest cell, all of the information for the organization of a complex creature such as ourselves can be stored. All this information---whether we have brown eyes, or whether we thinkat all, or that in the embryo the jawbone should first develop with a little hole in the side so that later a nerve can grow through it---all this information is contained in a very tiny fraction of the cell in the form of long-chain DNA molecules in which approximately 50 atoms are used for one bit of information about the cell.Better electron microscopes返回小木虫查看更多。

励志故事演讲稿12篇
励志故事演讲稿12篇励志故事演讲稿篇1 路，在一个瘫痪姑娘的脚下延伸……张海迪1955年出生在山东半岛文登县的一个知识分子家庭里。
5岁的时候，胸部以下完全失去了知觉，生活不能自理。
医生们一致认为，象这种高位截瘫病人，一般很难活过27岁。
在死神的威胁下，张海迪意识到自己的生命也许不会长久了，她为没有更多的时间工作而难过，更加珍惜自己的分分秒秒，用勤奋的学习和工作去延长生命。
她在日记中写到：“我不能碌碌无为地活着，活着就要学习，就要多为群众做些事情。
既然是颗流星，就要把光留给人间，把一切奉献给人民。
”1970年，她随带领知识青年下乡的父母到莘县尚楼大队插队落户，看到当地群众缺医少药带来的痛苦，便萌生了学习医术解除群众病痛的念头。
她用自己的零用钱买来了医学书籍、体温表、听诊器、人体模型和药物，努力研读了《针灸学》、《人体解剖学》、《内科学》、《实用儿科学》等书。
为了认清内脏，她把小动物的心肺肝肾切开观察，为了熟悉针灸穴位，她在自己身上画上了红红蓝蓝的点儿，在自己的身上练针体会针感。
功夫不负有心人，她终于掌握了一定的医术，能够治疗一些常见病和多发病，在十几年中，为群众治病达1万多人次。
后来，她随父母迁到县城居住，一度没有安排工作。
她从保尔·柯察金和吴运铎的事迹中受到鼓舞，从高玉宝写书的经历中得到启示，决定走文学创作的路子，用自己的笔去塑造美好的形象，去启迪人们的心灵。
她读了许多中外名著，写日记、读小说、背诗歌、抄录华章警句，还在读书写作之余练素描、学写生、临摹名画、学会了识简谱和五线谱，并能用手风琴、琵琶、吉他等乐器弹奏歌曲。
现在她已是山东省文联的专业创作人员，她的作品《轮椅上的梦》问世，又一次在社会上引起了强烈反响。
认准了目标，不管面前横隔着多少艰难险阻，都要跨越过去，到达成功的彼岸，这便是张海迪的性格。
有一次，一位老同志拿来一瓶进口药，请她帮助翻译文字说明，看着这位同志失望地走了，张海迪便决心学习英语，掌握更多的知识。

篮球励志演讲稿
篮球励志演讲稿篇一：大一新生的励志演讲稿大一新生的励志演讲稿各位同学：大家晚上好，在开始我的演讲之前，我来给大家讲一个小故事，这个故事讲的是：“曾经有三位同寝室的大学生，一位非常喜欢打篮球，一位非常喜欢打网络游戏，还有一位非常的喜欢读书，就这样日复一日，年复一年爱打篮球的最终得了一个总冠军，爱打网络游戏的同学最终开发处了一款完美的网络游戏，爱学习的同学最终考上了自己理想的大学攻读研究生”，好！故事到此就结束了，今天我要演讲的题目是《条条大道通罗马》。
也许你还在为高考的不正常发挥而苦恼，也许你还在为没填好志愿而后悔，也许你还在为学校没有好的授课老师而愤怒，也许你还在环境部好而终日抱怨。
此时的你可能h还生活在迷茫中，对大学从满无比的失望，也许曾经的你也梦想过在大学取得一番成就，想找到心仪的女孩，想一毕业就找到一份好的工作，但当你真正的踏入大学之门，发现一切与你之前所想是如此般的不同，自己的激情也会逐渐的消退，目标不在哪么坚定，整日优哉游哉，无所事事，不知道自己在做什么？甚至发问：“大学到底读的是什么”？眼看大学已经过去一年，我们该如何去改变这样一种现状，改变这样一种生活你，使自己重新获得刚进校时的激情呢！接下来我就从三个方面给大家作简要的讲述，或许这三点能使我们改变这样的现状。
第一，寻找自己感兴趣的事。
兴趣是最好的老师，我们做自己感兴趣的事才会觉得累，才会以最快的速度重获激情，从而找回动力，相信李开复对大家来说并不陌生，纵览李开复先生的人生经历，可知李开复祖籍四川，出生台湾，在哥伦比亚0大学本科毕业，在卡内基梅隆大学研究生毕业，李开复本科攻读的是法律专业，但是在读研究生的时候却是计算机专业，其原因是李开复在读本科的时候发现自己对计算机专业特别感兴趣。
于是李开复就充分的利用自己的课余时间专研计算机知识，最终在读研时进入自己真正喜欢的专业，并且最终以开发“语音识别”这一软件成就辉煌，在人类历史册上留下印记。

美联储主席耶伦演讲
美联储主席耶伦演讲：让我们终生受益的品质Sexton校长，非常感谢您让我代表荣誉博士的获得者们，表达我们对纽约大学的感激和对2014届的同学们及你们的家人们的祝贺。
今天是特别的一天。
我们在今天，庆祝你们的成就、展望你们的未来。
我希望纽约大学不仅仅为你们提供了基础知识，还给你们带来了对知识的热爱之心和持久的好奇心。
人生是一个不断探索的旅程，如果将你们求知的火焰点燃，那它的熊熊烈火将点亮你们的人生道路。
在纽约大学的学习中，正是这样的好奇心，带领着埃里克·坎德尔达到了他人生的最高成就——他发现了人类记忆的化学机制的和细胞基础。
在他毕业后的几年，他首先用猫来作为研究对象。
但他有个想法：为什么不去关注那些有着更简单、更基本的大脑的动物，例如加州海蜗牛呢？他的同事们起初都嘲笑他的想法。
他们自以为知道，研究这种低等的海蜗牛对理解人类记忆是无关紧要的。
更雪上加霜的是，坎德尔的有着丰富解剖经验的重要合作者也离开了他。
但坎德尔坚持住了。
为了加快对海蜗牛的研究，他去了国外学习。
在2000年，他的好奇心使他赢得诺贝尔奖。
你一定已经猜到了，他的海蜗牛的研究为我们揭示了人类记忆的化学机制。
我相信，坎德尔的人生，为我们展示了即使路上有巨大困难的阻拦，持续的好奇心可以帮助我们达到看似不可能的雄心壮志。
第二个让我们终身受益的品质是倾听他人的意愿。
如今，科学技术让我们可以用一个宽广的视角去看世界，但它也可以让我们缩小范围去倾听那些我们觉得最愉悦的声音。
倾听他人的声音，尤其是那些与我们有分歧的声音，能检验我们自己的理念和信仰。
这让我们意识到，谦卑的心态，让真理不会被任何人垄断。
洋基球场教给我们另外一个道理：你不会一直成功。
甚至连露丝、格里克和迪马吉奥这样的棒球巨星站在球场上的大多数时间里都会以失败告终。
在寻找真理的人生道路中，往往会涉及一些失误。
当我们努力去解决威胁到全球经济的金融和经济危机时，我的我美联储的同事们都共同经历了这样或那样的挫折。
艾玛沃特森在联合国的演讲稿
艾玛沃特森在联合国的演讲稿尊敬的各位来宾：大家好！我很荣幸能够站在这里，与诸位探讨一个至关重要的话题——性别平等。
在我们生活的这个世界，性别不平等的现象依然广泛存在。
女性在许多方面面临着不公平的待遇，这种不公平不仅仅体现在工作机会、薪酬待遇上，更体现在社会观念和文化传统中。
我们常常听到这样的声音，认为女性应该将家庭放在首位，而事业则是次要的。
这种观念束缚了女性追求自我价值实现的权利。
女性同样拥有聪明才智和无限潜力，她们应该有权利去选择自己想要的生活方式，无论是成为职业女性还是选择专注于家庭。
然而，现实是，当女性追求事业成功时，她们往往会受到各种质疑和阻碍。
教育领域也是性别不平等的一个重灾区。
在一些地区，女孩接受教育的机会远远少于男孩。
她们被剥夺了获取知识的权利，仅仅因为她们的性别。
这是多么荒谬和不公！教育是打开未来之门的钥匙，每个人都应该平等地拥有这把钥匙。
一个接受过良好教育的女性，不仅能够改变自己的命运，还能够为家庭和社会带来积极的影响。
在就业市场上，女性面临着职业晋升的“玻璃天花板”。
尽管她们拥有相同的能力和业绩，却难以获得与男性同等的晋升机会和薪酬待遇。
这种现象不仅损害了女性的个人利益，也阻碍了整个社会的发展进步。
因为当大量优秀的女性人才被忽视和埋没时，社会就失去了一部分创新和发展的动力。
性别不平等还体现在社会对女性身体和形象的过度关注和苛刻要求上。
媒体和广告常常塑造出一种单一、狭隘的女性美标准，导致许多女性为了迎合这种标准而承受巨大的心理压力，甚至采取不健康的方式来改变自己的外貌和身材。
我们必须认识到，性别平等不是一个遥不可及的梦想，而是一个可以通过我们的努力实现的目标。
每个人都应该从自身做起，摒弃那些陈旧的性别观念。
男性应该成为性别平等的倡导者和支持者，与女性共同努力，创造一个更加公平、和谐的社会。
政府和社会组织也应当发挥重要作用。
制定和执行相关的法律法规，保障女性的权益。

英语演讲稿经典名人英语演讲稿68：做真正的自己（2009年美国脱口秀节目主持人艾伦杜兰大学演讲）mp368. Stay True to Yourself68. 做真正的自己And really when I look back on it, I wouldn’t change a thing. I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. Ultimately, that’s what’s gotten me to this place. I don’t live in fear, I’free, I have no secrets. And I know I’ll always be OK, because no matter what, I know who I am. So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was “boobies”, by the way? It’s not, it’s “groupies”.当我回首这些往事的时候，我还会做相同的决定。
杨澜TED英语演讲稿：全球化时代下的文化交流与理解
杨澜TED英语演讲稿：全球化时代下的文化交流与理解Yang Lan's TED Talk: Cultural Exchange and Understanding in the Globalization EraIn the age of globalization, cultural exchange and understanding have become more important than ever. People from different backgrounds and cultures are now more connected than ever before, thanks to the rapid development of technology and communication. However, with this increased interconnectivity comes a variety of challenges that we must face in order to foster a truly global community.This is where Yang Lan's TED Talk comes in. In her talk, she highlights the importance of cultural exchange and collaboration in the modern world. As a well-respected journalist and television personality, Yang Lan brings a unique perspective to the table that is both insightful and relatable.Throughout her talk, Yang Lan emphasizes the need for greater cultural understanding and empathy. She argues that it is only by truly engaging with and appreciating different cultures that we can build strong relationships and overcomethe barriers that so often divide us. She suggests that this can be achieved through a variety of methods, including travel, language learning, and simply listening to thestories of others.One of the key themes that runs throughout Yang Lan'stalk is the notion of "cultural courage." She argues that in order to build meaningful connections with people from different cultures, we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones and embrace new experiences. This means embracing the unknown, taking risks, and being open to the perspectives of others.Yang Lan's talk also touches on the role of technology in promoting cultural exchange. While she acknowledges that technological advancements have undoubtedly made it easierfor people to connect across the globe, she also cautions against relying too heavily on technology as a substitute for true human interaction. Instead, she suggests that we must be intentional about using technology to facilitate meaningful conversations and foster genuine connections with others.Overall, Yang Lan's TED Talk serves as a powerful reminder of the role that cultural exchange and understandingplay in our increasingly interconnected world. By emphasizing the importance of empathy, cultural courage, and intentional engagement, she offers a powerful vision for how we can build a more just and harmonious global community.。

励志演讲稿-勇于梦想,只争朝夕
——可口可乐前总裁唐纳德·基奥在埃默里大学毕业典礼的演讲（节选）我不是说你们真的去选课，而是把世界当作课堂。
整个世界有着无数精彩的课程，你们可以从中继续吸收新的、令你们充实的生活甘露。
我感到非常荣幸、骄傲和高兴，来参加埃默里大学第148届毕业典礼。
在吉姆·兰妮的领导下，埃默里一跃成为全球教育机构第一梯队的一员。
你们知道，根据《美国新闻与世界报导》的排行榜，埃默里名列美国最好的25所研究型大学——这是一项了不起的成就。
我祝贺你，兰妮博士，有如此杰出的教职员工。
我刚刚卸任可口可乐总裁，目前失业，正在找工作。
我猜你们中有很多人和我一样。
那么，听着，我和你们在一条船上。
我的建议是，不要慌。
我读大学时主修哲学。
40多年来我看了无数招聘广告，从没有看到过哪则广告上写着“招聘哲学家，薪水丰厚，福利从优”。
但我知道，毕业典礼致辞人的作用是非常清楚的，他应该给出建议。
我非常适合这个角色，因为我有6个业已成年的孩子。
他们中有3个今天也在这里，其中两位也是埃默里的毕业生。
多年来我一直在给他们建议，多年来他们的母亲也在给他们建议，她建议他们彻底忽略我的建议。
有人说，在像今天这样可喜可贺的日子里，毕业典礼致辞人有点儿像爱尔兰守灵（1）仪式上的遗体。
人们认为你有必要在场，但只是例行程序，不希望你太罗嗦。
我会注意的。
那么，我要对一群背景各异的毕业生说什么呢？你们有些人才19岁，我知道还有一个65岁的，你们年龄跨度极大。
你们的兴趣也各不相同，从高科技到俳句都有。
一个66岁、刚刚结束33年职业生涯的无业老人，要对即将开始一段新的人生旅程的你们说些什么呢？回顾我的人生，以爱荷华州的一座农场为起点，直到亚特兰大一座高楼里的豪华办公室，我希望我能告诉你们那是一段痛苦的历程，苦难重重。
可惜不是。
除了仅有的几次失望和焦虑，基本上是一段快乐、刺激的人生经历。
你们会问我为什么？关于这一点，我想了很多。
几年前在威廉姆斯学院的毕业典礼上，剧作家尼尔？西蒙是致辞人，他说他在想对于他的生命主题的最佳概括是什么。
robert waldinger演讲总结
robert waldinger演讲总结Robert Waldinger的演讲主题是“人类的幸福秘诀：70年的哈佛研究”。
他是美国哈佛大学的心理学教授，也是一位著名的幸福研究专家。
在演讲中，他分享了他对哈佛研究的总结，以及他对人类幸福的见解。
演讲中，Waldinger提到了哈佛研究项目，这个项目从1938年开始，追踪了268名哈佛学院学生的生活。
他们中的一些人成为了成功的商人、政治家和科学家，而另一些人则生活在贫困和不幸中。
过去几十年来，他们的生活被记录了下来，研究人员根据他们的体验和情感状态进行了测量和分析。
Waldinger指出，经过多年的研究，他们发现了一个重要的结论：关系是人类幸福的关键。
那些有着稳定和亲密关系的人比那些孤单的人更加幸福和健康。
他强调了亲密关系的重要性，包括婚姻关系和朋友关系。
他解释说，与他人建立稳定和亲密的联系对于我们的身体和心理健康都是至关重要的。
此外，Waldinger还提到了另一个重要的发现：财富和地位并不是衡量幸福的关键因素。
虽然大多数人都认为成功和财富能够带来幸福，但实际上，与他人建立深层次的关系对于幸福更为重要。
他强调了我们应该将更多的时间和精力投入到与亲人和朋友的互动中，而不是只追求物质财富。
最后，Waldinger提醒我们要时刻关注自己的人际关系，并提醒我们要花更多的时间去建立和维持这些关系。
他鼓励我们要把关系放在首位，去体验和享受与他人的互动，这样才能真正获得幸福和满足感。
总的来说，Robert Waldinger的演讲可以归纳为一个简单而重要的观点：关系是人类幸福的关键。
他通过长期的研究证明了这一点，并呼吁我们在追求幸福时要将关系放在首位。
这个观点对于当今社会来说尤为重要，我们在忙碌和追求物质财富的同时，也要记得关注和建立真正有意义的人际关系。

Guess who was the performingguest?Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few wordsin Chinese. [Chinese]So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who lovessinging Western opera, but she didn't understand any English orFrench or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics withvegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So[as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious.So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successfulin the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stageto realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference.My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990,when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the salesdepartment of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?"I summoned my courage and poise and said,"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?"I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel.Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?"I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, andthen the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people.Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changedmy life," and I feel proud of that. But then we are also so fortunate to witness the transformation of the whole country. I was inBeijing's bidding for the Olympic Games. I was representing the Shanghai Expo. I saw China embracing the world and vice versa. But then sometimes I'm thinking, what are today's young generation up to? How are they different, and what are the differences they are goingto make to shape the future of China, or at large, the world?So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media. First of all, who are they? [What] do they look like? Well this is a girl called Guo Meimei -- 20 years old, beautiful. She showed off her expensive bags, clothes and car on her microblog,which is the Chinese version of Twitter. And she claimed to be the general manager of Red Cross at the Chamber of Commerce. She didn'trealize that she stepped on a sensitive nerve and aroused national questioning, almost a turmoil, against the credibility of Red Cross. The controversy was so heated that the Red Cross had to open a press conference to clarify it, and the investigation is going on.So far, as of today, we know that she herself made up that title -- probably because she feels proud to be associated with charity. All those expensive items were given to her as gifts by her boyfriend,who used to be a board member in a subdivision of Red Cross at Chamber of Commerce. It's very complicated to explain. But anyway, the public still doesn't buy it. It is still boiling. It shows us a general mistrust of government or government-backed institutions, which lacked transparency in the past. And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.Microblog boomed in the year of 201X, with visitors doubled and time spent on it tripled. , a major news portal, alone has more than 140 million microbloggers. On Tencent, 200 million.The most popular blogger -- it's not me -- it's a movie star, and she has more than 9.5 million followers, or fans. About 80 percent of those microbloggers are young people, under 30 years old. And because, as you know, the traditional media is still heavily controlled by the government,social media offers an opening to let the steam out alittle bit. But because you don't have many other openings, the heat coming out of this opening is sometimes very strong, active and even violent.So through microblogging, we are able to understand Chinese youth even better. So how are they different? First of all, most of them were bornin the 80s and 90s, under the one-child policy. And because of selected abortion by families who favored boys to girls, now we have ended up with 30 million more young men than women. That could pose a potential danger to the society, but who knows; we're in a globalized world, so they can look for girlfriends from other countries. Most of them have fairly good education. The illiteracy rate in China among this generation is under one percent. In cities, 80 percent of kids go to college.But they are facing an aging China with a population above 65 years old coming up with seven-point-some percent this year, and about to be 15 percent by the year of 2030. And you know we have the tradition that younger generations support the elders financially, and taking care of them when they're sick. So it means young coupleswill have to support four parents who have a life expectancy of 73 years old.So making a living is not that easy for young people. College graduates are not in short supply.Inurban areas, college graduates find the starting salary is about 400 U.S. dollars a month, while the average rent is above $500. So what do they do? They have to share space -- squeezed in very limited space to save money -- and they call themselves "tribe of ants." And for those who are ready to get married and buy their apartment, they figured out they have to work for 30 to 40 years to afford theirfirst apartment. That ratio in Americawould only cost a couple five years to earn, but in China it's 30 to 40 years with the skyrocketing real estate price.Among the 200 million migrant workers, 60 percent of them are young people. They find themselves sort of sandwiched between the urban areas and the rural areas. Most of them don't want to go back to the countryside, but they don't have the sense of belonging. They workfor longer hours with less income, less social welfare. And they're more vulnerable to job losses, subject to inflation,tightening loans from banks, appreciation of the renminbi, or decline of demand from Europe or America for the products they produce. Last year, though, an appalling incident in a southern OEM manufacturing compound in China: 13 young workers in their late teens and early 20s committed suicide, just one by one like causing a contagious disease. But they died because of all different personal reasons. But this whole incident aroused a huge outcry from society about the isolation, both physical and mental, of these migrant workers.For those who do return back to the countryside,they find themselves very welcome locally,because with the knowledge, skills and networksthey have learned in the cities, with the assistance of the Internet, they're able to create more jobs,upgrade local agriculture and create new businessin the less developed market. So for the past few years, the coastal areas, they found themselves in a shortage of labor.These diagrams show a more general social background. The first oneis the Engels coefficient,which explains that the cost of daily necessitieshas dropped its percentage all through the past decade, in terms of family income, to about 37-some percent. But then in thelast two years, it goes up again to 39 percent, indicating a rising living cost. The Gini coefficient has already passed the dangerous line of 0.4. Now it's 0.5 -- even worse than that in America -- showing us the income inequality. And so you see this whole society getting frustrated about losing some of its mobility. And also, thebitterness and even resentment towards the rich and the powerful is quite widespread. So any accusations of corruptionor backdoor dealings between authorities or business would arouse a social outcry or even uest.So through some of the hottest topics on microblogging, we can see what young people care most about. Social justice and government accountability runs the first in what they demand.For the past decade or so, a massive urbanization and development have let us witness a lot of reports on the forced demolition of private property.And it has aroused huge anger and frustrationamong our young generation. Sometimes people get killed, and sometimes people set themselves on fire to protest. So when these incidents are reported more and more frequently on the Internet,people cry for the government to take actions to stop this.So the good news is that earlier this year, the state council passed a new regulation on house requisition and demolition and passed the right to order forced demolition from local governmentsto the court. Similarly, many other issues concerning public safetyis a hot topic on the Internet. We heard about polluted air, polluted water, poisoned food. And guess what, we have faked beef. They have sorts of ingredients that you brush on a piece of chicken or fish, and it turns it to look like beef.And then lately, people are very concerned about cooking oil, because thousands of people have been found [refining] cooking oil from restaurant slop. So all these things have aroused a huge outcry from the Internet. And fortunately, we have seen the government responding more timely and also more frequently to the public concerns.While young people seem to be very sure about their participation in public policy-making, but sometimes they're a little bit lost in terms of what they want for their personal life. China is soon to pass the U.S. as the number one market for luxury brands -- that's not including the Chinese expenditures in Europe and elsewhere. But you know what, half of those consumers are earning a salary below2,000 U.S. dollars. They're not rich at all. They're taking those bags and clothes as a sense of identity and social status. And thisis a girl explicitly saying on a TV dating show that she would rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle.But of course, we do have young people who would still prefer to smile, whether in a BMW or [on] a bicycle.So in the next picture, you see a very popular phenomenon called "naked" wedding, or "naked" marriage. It does not mean they will wear nothing in the wedding, but it shows that these young couples areready to get married without a house, without a car, without adiamond ring and without a wedding banquet, to show their commitmentto true love. And also, people are doing good through social media.And the first picture showed us that a truck caging 500 homeless and kidnapped dogsfor food processing was spotted and stopped on the highway with the whole country watchingthrough microblogging. People were donating money, dog food and offering volunteer work to stopthat truck. And after hours of negotiation, 500 dogs were rescued.And here also people are helping to find missing children. A father posted his son's picture onto the Internet. After thousands of [unclear], the child was found, and we witnessed the reunion of the family through microblogging.So happiness is the most popular word we have heard through the past two years. Happiness is not only related to personal experiences and personal values, but also, it's about the environment. People are thinking about the following questions: Are we going to sacrifice our environment further to produce higher GDP? How are we going toperform our social and political reform to keep pace with economic growth, to keep sustainability and stability? And also, how capableis the systemof self-correctness to keep more people contentwith all sorts of friction going on at the same time?I guess these are the questions people are going to answer. And our younger generation are going to transform this country while at the same time being transformed themselves.Thank you very much.杨澜TED演讲：重塑中国的一代中文演讲稿在来爱尔兰的前一晚，我应邀主持了中国达人秀在上海的体育场和八万现场观众。

Ellen DeGeneres Commencement Speech at Tulane UniversityThank you, President Cowan, Mrs. President Cowen;distinguished guests, undistinguished guests - you knowwho you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher.And thank you to all the graduating class of 2009, I realizemost of you are hungover and have splitting headaches andhaven't slept since Fat Tuesday, but you can't graduate'til I finish, so listen up.When I was asked to make the commencement speech, Iimmediately said yes. Then I went to look up whatcommencement meant. Which would have been easy if I hada dictionary, but most of the books in our house arePortia's, and they're all written in Australian. So I hadto break the word down myself, to find out the meaning.Commencement: common, and cement. Common cement. Youcommonly see cement on sidewalks. Sidewalks have cracks,and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back.So there's that. But I'm honored that you've asked me hereto speak at your common cement.I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus - alumini- aluminum - alumis - you had to graduate from this school.And I didn't go to college here, and I don't know ifPresident Cowan knows, I didn't go to any college at all.Any college. And I'm not saying you wasted your time, ormoney, but look at me, I"m a huge celebrity.Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks,our mascot was the knockers. I spent a lot of time heregrowing up. My mom worked at (?) and I would go there everytime I needed to steal something out of her purse. But whyam I here today? Clearly not to steal, you're too far awayand I'd never get away with it.I'm here because of you. Because I can't think of a moretenacious, more courageous graduating class. I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes. Usually when you're wearing a robe at 10 in the morning, it means you've given up. I'm here because I love New Orleans. I was born and raised here, I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living here I only did laundry six times. When I finished school, I was completely lost. And by school, I mean middle school, but I went ahead and finished high school anyway. And I - I really, I had no ambition, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I did everything from - I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vaccuum cleaners, I had no idea. And I thought I'd just finally settle in some job, and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have basic cable, maybe not, I didn't really have a plan, my point is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea. Like for example, when I was your age, I was dating men. So what I'm saying is, when you're older, most of you will be gay. Anyone writing this stuff down? Parents?Anyway, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, and the way I ended up on this path was from a very tragic event. I was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a car accident. And I passed the accident, and I didn't know it was her and I kept going, and I found out shortly after that, it was her. And I was living in a basement apartment, I had no money, I had no heat, no air, I had a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas. And I was soul-searching, I was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas here? I don't understand, there must be a purpose, and wouldn't it be so convenient if we could pick up the phone and call God, and ask these questions.And I started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with God, which was one-sided, and I finished writing it and I looked at it and I said to myself, and I hadn't even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town. I said, "I'm gonna do this on the Tonight Show With Johnny Carson"- at the time he was the king - "and I'm gonna be the first woman in the history of the show to be called over to sit down." And severalyears later, I was the first woman in the history of the show, and only woman in the history of the show to sit down, because of that phone conversation with God that I wrote. And I started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great, but it was hard, because I was trying to please everybody and I had this secret that I was keeping, that I was gay. And I thought if people found out they wouldn't like me, they wouldn't laugh at me.Then my career turned into - I got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another level of success. And I thought, what if they find out I'm gay, then they'll never watch, and this was a long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents - this was back, many years ago - and I finally decided that I was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that I just couldn't live that way anymore, and I decided to come out and make it creative. And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasn't to make a political statement, it wasn't to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying around, and I just wanted to be honest. And I thought, "What's the worst that could happen? I can lose my career". I did. I lost my career. The show was cancelled after six years, without even telling me, I read it in the paper. The phone didn't ring for three years.I had no offers. Nobody wanted to touch me at all. Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn't, because of what I did. And I realised that I had a purpose. And it wasn't just about me and it wasn't about celebrity, but I felt like I was being punished... it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talkshow. And the people that offered me the talkshow tried to sell it. And most stations didn't want to pick it up. Most people didn't want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me.Really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing.I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most important thing is, is to be true to yourself. Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place. I don't live in fear, I'm free, I have no secrets. and I know I'll always be ok, because no matter what, I know who I am. So In conclusion, when I was youngerI thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was "boobies", by the way? It's not, it's "groupies".But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure. to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. to contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine. It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane. What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sea level?" . So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time. So the Katrina class of 2009, I say congratulations and if you don't remember a thing I said today, remember this: you're gonna be ok, dum de dum dum dum, just dance.。
