中文翻译在后面也贴出了,但不太精确。

Speech at Y ale Graduation presented by Tom HanksMay 10, 2011I now many of you were convinced that last night about 6 o'clock local time, the world was going to come to an end. Just because it hasn't doesn't mean that it's not nearby, because my appearing today at Y ale University is surely one of the four horseman of the apocalypse. But listen, today is your day. Please do not turn off your electronic devices, leave your IPhones, your Ipads, your sidekicks, your Droids, your blackberries powered up, recording, photographing, texting out all that emerges from this stage over the next few minute. By the way I'm supporting the hat, it ain't coming off. Y ou know later on today you can compare your tweets, and Facebook comments with those of others to figure out if anything memorable went down, hey you know what tweet that last sentence I just said. It will give you something to do, let your friends know where you are today. Okay take this speech set it to music, then maybe insert some crazy kooky graphics. Star in that video yourself, post it on the web, then if it becomes a viral sensation, you will be equal to any cat playing with a paper bag, any set of twin toddlers talking gibberish to each other, as popular as a cute girl that sings about Fridays, hey you could be the next Sam Tsui. Such are just one of the possibilities in our grave new world, the world you now inherit whether you like it or not, the jig is up, the clock is run out, and the future, with a capital F, now rest with all of you and your goofy hats, and all because you went to Y ale. Y ou are now the anointed, the charge holders, the best and the brightest; each of you is shining hope for our nation and the world. Y ou are the new wizards who can finally make since of all the delta vectors, and the square roots, and the divided byes in the theorem, we call the human race. The generations before you came of age, took on the job, now it's your turn, welcome.Y ou know I once had a friend, who had a rich uncle, who promised to pay for his college, as long as my friend wished to stay in school. "Y ou should stay in school, as long as you can," the rich uncle said "Because when you get out of college, you got to work for every day for the rest of you life". And you all will come to understand, what that rich uncle meant, just as surely you will someday wonder where the hell you put your reading glasses, and to yell at your own kids to turn the damn music down. On spring days, like today, it's traditional for us to ponder the state of the world and implore you all to help make it a better place, which implies that things are somehow worse today than when we up here are where you are sitting right now. I'm not so sure that planet earth is in worse shape than it was 30, no 18, no 4 years ago. But that's not to say it's in better shape either, refraining from waxing nostalgic and comparing our then to your now, and avoiding the any talk of you kids these days with your rap and your hip hop and your snoopy dog daddy with the ditty pops, with your fifty cents, and quarter cents. A sober looks shows that just have the world gotten to be a better place after all; it is also grown a bit worse at the exact same rate.; a one step up, a one step back sort of cosmic balance between forward progress, and cultural retreat, that puts man kind on a bell curve of existence, that shows a small segment of joy, ease, and comfort, while equal proportions struggle on, while with little hope in the fortunes with the remainder either on the rise or on the wane that this confounding tide of so many damn things that we grow oblivious the shifts in the quality of our lives. Graduation day is a proper occasion to put a toe inthe global waters and I think the mercury shows that things are much as they always have been.Ten years ago, we busied ourselves with trivial stuff imbued with the importance of in came, 911, in 1991 riches were created in new businesses that never existed, then that economic balloon burst. In 81, I had a great job on TV, and in 82, Bosom Buddies was canceled. In 71, color TV in more living rooms that ever showed young Americans still fighting in combat in Vietnam. In 61, satellites beamed live images around the world for the very first time, but those images were of the building of the Berlin Wall. Now this ten year grid shows this same "yin-yang thang", and I'm trying to copyright that; yin-yang thang- copyright Tom Hanks. This shows this same yin-yang thang on graduation day 2011. Y ou know we all have these devices that can make a permanent record of revolutionary change on the other side of the globe, as well as hate filled diet tribes from across town. Fewer and fewer in our country go to bed hungry but did you know see how obesity now affects about half our population. No matter how many bargains we find at the local U-Mart, many of us still struggle to pay the rent and the utilities. Our country is no longer at physical or even ideological war with our enemies for most of the last century, but in the eleven and a half years of the third millennium, our armed forces have been fighting in the field for nine of them. Purchasing intellectual property and the work of artists we admire is as simple as clicking a mouse and paying less than a few bucks, which means you may find that there's no guarantee in making a living at your chosen discipline. Now some advantages particular to this age, are not to be denied; boredom has seemed to have been vanquished, there is always something to do, but hasn't this translated into a perpetual distraction in our lives. In the bathroom, at the dinner table, in the backseat, at a wedding, at a brisk, at a graduation day; there's always something to check, something to tweet, something to watch, something to download, something to play, something to share, something to buy, someone on a voicemail, something to yank at our attention span and it's all in the palm of our hand for a small monthly service fee. That same technology, has allowed for a surplus of celebrities, and that is nothing to cheer about. Anyone, although that Sam Tsui he rocks, anyone can enjoy the perks of notoriety now and the duration of fame has been lengthened from Andy Warhal's brief 15 minutes, to a good 15 months, if you're willing to do certain things on camera. Though our Willian language is often the vocabulary of official news speak is boogeyman that is the all seen "big brother", has never emerged, unless you live in North Korea, or run a red light in Beverly Hills, or shop online, or have done something stupid in the wrong place or the wrong time in front of someone with a camera in their cell phone, and that is everybody. So pardon my junior college Latin, the vulgestpopuli has become the all seeing state and if you cross it Google Search will forever display you screw up, so actually there is a big brother, but he's not in the level of fiction, he's actually all of us, but he lives in our search engines. So no matter how many times I do the calculations, I come up with a social draw, the positives balance the negatives, the x's equal the y's, and our hopes weigh as much as our fears, but I hesitate on that last one because, fear, good lord, fear is a powerful physiological force in 2011. We here up in the stands, and surrounding you of this graduating class look to you as we do every year, hoping you will now somehow through your labors, free us from what we have come to fear, and we have come to fear many things, fear has become the commodity that sell as certainly as sex. Fear is cheap, fear is easy, fear gets attention, fear is spread as fast as gossip and just as glamorous, juicy, and profitable. Fear twists facts into fiction that becomes indistinguishable from ignorance. Fear is a profit churning go to with a home market being your whole family.Y ou know sitting in the house one day, watching the game on TV not long ago, along came this promo for the local nightly news "Are our schools poisoning our children? That story and our summers hottest bikinis tonight at 11" In that I had that school age kids at the time, I fear that they might be being poisoned, and summer was still a few weeks away. I tooned in to get the scoop, and the actual news stories of that news broadcast was this, a certain supply of hamburger was found to have a bit to much of a particular bacteria in it and for safeties sake, was being taken off the market. That same hamburger was slated for sale to an out of state school system for its cafeterias, but it was recalled in time. So answering that news program's own question then, no, our schools were not poisoning our children, but yes, that summer there would be some very hot bikinis at the beach.Now the early American naval commander, John Paul Jones said "If fear is cultivated, it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery" and this is why I am a big fan of history, because observations of the American colonies over 200 years ago by a compatriot of Nathan Hale, who lived in that building right over there, translates word for word of the United States in 2011 For I take that fear to be fear in a large scale, fear itself intimidating and constant. And I take faith to be, what we hold in ourselves, our American ideal of self-determination. Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror. The former forever snaps at our heels and our synapsis and delays our course, the later could spur our boot heels to be wonderment, stimulate our creativity, and continue to drive us forward. Fear or faith, which will be our master?Three men found that they could no longer sleep because of their deep seeded fears, this is a story I'm telling. Their lives were in the state of stasis because of their constant worries. So they set out on a pilgrimage to find a wise man, who lived high in the mountains, so high above the tree line, that no vegetation grew, no animals lived, not even insects could be found so high up in the mountains in that thin air. When they reached his cave, the first of the three said "help me wise man, for my fear has crippled me""What is your fear?" asked the wise man"I fear death" said the pilgrim "I wonder when it is going to come for me""Ah, death" said the wise man "Let me take away this fear my friend. Death will not come to call until you are ready for its embrace. Know that and your fear will go away"Well this calmed that pilgrim's mind and he feared death no longer.The wise man turned to the second pilgrim and said "What is it you fear my friend?""I fear my new neighbors" said the second pilgrim "They are strangers, who observe holy days different than mine. They have way to many kids. They play music that sounds like noise""Ah strangers" said the wise man "I will take away this fear my friend. Return to your home and make a cake for your new neighbors. Bring toys to their children. Join them in their songs, and learn their ways, and you will become familiar with these neighbors, and your fear will go away."The second man saw the wisdom in these simple instructions, and knew he would no longer fear the family who were his neighbors. There in the cave so high in the mountains that nothing could live, the wise man turned to the last pilgrim and asked of his fear."Oh wise man, I fear spiders. When I try to sleep at night, I imagine spiders dropping from the ceiling, and crawling upon my flesh, and I cannot rest""Ah, spiders" said the wise man "No shit, why do you think I live way up here?"Fear will get the worst of the best of us, and peddlers of influence count on that. Throughout our nation's constant struggle to create a more perfect union, establish justice, and ensure our domestic tranquility, we battle fear from outside our borders to within our own hearts every day of our history. Our nation came to be despite fear of retribution for treason from a kingdom across the sea. America was made strong and diverse because here people could live free from the fears that made us their daily lives in whatever land they called the old country. Our history books tell of conflicts taken up to free people from fear. Those kept in slavery in our own states, and deliberate home nation from the rule of tyrants and theologies rooted in fear. The American cause at its best has been the cultivation of the faith that declares we will all live in peace, when we are all free to worship as we choose, when we are free to express our hearts, and when we all seek a place free from fear, but we live in a world where to many of us are to ready to believe and fear things that do not exist, conspiracies abound, divisions are constructed, and the differences between us are not celebrated for making us stronger but calculated and programed to set us against each other. Our faith is tested by unpredictable providence, and threatened when common sense in corrupted by specific interests.Speaking from 54 years of experience, the work towards a more perfect union is a never ending concern that involves each and every one of us. Evidence that our nation is becoming a better place is everywhere, but each new day, fear is as the Jersey poet says "lurking in the darkness on the edge of town".Y our rising from bed every morning will give fear its chance to grow stronger just as it will afford faith its chance to blossom. Y ou will make the choice to react to one or create the other, and because you are smart enough to earn you place on this college day at Y ale University, you will sense the moment, and you will know what to do.In the meantime ponder this front in the struggle against ceaseless fear and its ceaseless flow. In the coming months and years veterans of war in Iraq and Afghanistan will finally come home for good. After so many tours, and we know this, some after many tours on the body and soul have spilled a great portion of their lives. For all of them after a long time has spent far away in the harsh realm of war, and they return different from what they were when they left. Surely their faithin themselves is shadowed by a fear of not knowing what is expected of them next. Now no matter what your view of those wars over there, you can affect the future of our nation right here by taking their fears head on. Y ou can imprint the very next pages of the history of our troubled world by reinforcing the faith of those returning veterans, allowing them to rest, aiding in their recovery, if possible their complete recovery. So let those of us who watch the debate of their long deployments serve them now as they served as they were asked and as they were ordered. Let's provide them a place free of fear, by educating them if they can learn, by employing them as they transition from soldier back to citizen, and by empathizing with the new journey they are starting even though we will never fully understand the journey they just completed. We all will define the true nature of our American identity, not by the parades and the welcome home parties, but now we match their time in the service with service of our own. Give it four years, as many years as you just spent here at Y ale, in acts both proactive and spontaneous, and do the things that you can to free veterans of the new uncertainty that awaits them, from the mysterious fear they will face the day after they come home. Cultivate in them the faith to carry on and they will do the rest.So commencements day arrives, your work begins, work that will not always be joyful to you, labor that might not always fulfill you, and days that will seem like one damn thing after the other. It's true, you will now work every day for the rest of your lives. That full time job, your career as human beings, and as Americans, and as graduates of Y ale, is to stand on the fulcrum of fear and faith. Fear at your back, faith in front of you. Which way will you lead? Which way will you move? Move forward, move ever forward, and tweet out the picture of your results. It may make you as famous as Sam Tsui.Transcription on Chinese汤姆·汉克斯2011年耶鲁大学毕业生演讲我知道,在座很多人相信昨晚(2011年5月21日)六点是世界末日(笑声)(掌声)。

耶鲁校长毕业演讲

耶鲁校长毕业演讲

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

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

人生犹如一条长长的旅程,有时充满阳光与欢乐,有时又阴云密布,甚至黑暗无边。

但无论何时,我们都要勇往直前,积极面对。

毕业并不是终点,而是一个新的起点。

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

首先,我们要有梦想。

梦想是人生的指南针,是我们前行的动力。

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

我们要有志向,追求光明,追求真理。

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

同时,我们要保持好奇心。

好奇心是人类进步的源泉,它驱使我们不断地思考、探索和学习。

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

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

同样重要的是,我们要保持坚持不懈的努力。

人生没有捷径可走,只有不断地付出和努力,才能取得成功。

当我们面临困难和挫折时,我们要学会坚持,不轻易放弃。

只有在坚持中,我们才能克服困难,取得真正的成长和进步。

最后,我们要珍惜友谊。

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

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

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

你们是耶鲁的骄傲,你们有着无尽的潜力和创造力。

相信自己,相信自己的能力,我相信,你们一定会取得辉煌的成就。

拉里埃里森在耶鲁大学2000届毕业典礼上的惊人演讲(中英文)

拉里埃里森在耶鲁大学2000届毕业典礼上的演讲耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉--如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。

我想请你们为我做一件事。

请你---好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。

请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。

而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。

失败的经历。

失败的优等生。

说实话,今天我站在这里,并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。

我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者,我只看到了一千个失败者。

你们感到沮丧,这是可以理解的。

为什么,我,埃里森,一个退学生,竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。

因为,我,埃里森,这个行星上第二富有的人,是个退学生,而你不是。

因为比尔盖茨,这个行星上最富有的人---就目前而言---是个退学生,而你不是。

因为艾伦,这个行星上第三富有的人,也退了学,而你没有。

再来一点证据吧,因为戴尔,这个行星上第九富有的人---他的排位还在不断上升,也是个退学生。

而你,不是。

……你们非常沮丧,这是可以理解的。

你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。

你将来需要这种"治疗"。

你需要它们,因为你没辍学,所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。

哦,当然,你可以,也许,以你的方式进步到第10位,第11位,就像Steve。

但,我没有告诉你他在为谁工作,是吧?根据记载,他是研究生时辍的学,开化得稍晚了些。

现在,我猜想你们中间很多人,也许是绝大多数人,正在琢磨,"我能做什么?我究竟有没有前途?"当然没有。

太晚了,你们已经吸收了太多东西,以为自己懂得太多。

你们再也不是19岁了。

你们有了"内置"的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。

嗯……你们已经非常沮丧啦。

这是可以理解的。

所以,现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦---绝不是为了你们,2000年毕业生。

耶鲁大学著名演讲稿(3篇)

第1篇---大家好。

今天,我站在这里,很荣幸能和你们一起庆祝这个特别的日子。

我非常感谢耶鲁大学给我这个机会。

我的人生充满偶然。

我出生在一个非常偶然的时刻,一个在我父母年轻时选择离开印第安纳州,前往加利福尼亚州寻找新生活的时刻。

他们从未计划过要孩子,但我就是出现了。

我出生时,我的母亲在旧金山的一所天主教医院工作,而我的父亲则在俄勒冈州一家电子公司工作。

他们决定让我在硅谷长大,一个他们当时认为充满机遇的地方。

然而,我的父母很快就离婚了。

我的母亲独自抚养我,她是一个非常坚强的女性。

她当时在一家爱心之家工作,那里收养了许多孤儿。

我小时候,她每天晚上都要工作很晚,所以我通常都是自己回家。

我的家庭生活并不富裕,但我从来没有意识到这一点。

我的母亲总是尽其所能给我最好的。

她给我买了许多玩具,带我去公园,让我享受生活。

我知道,尽管生活并不容易,但她一直爱我,支持我。

然而,在我十二岁那年,我的母亲生病了。

她被诊断出患有卵巢癌。

她经历了多次手术,但最终病情恶化。

在我十三岁那年,她去世了。

这是我人生中第一次面对失去亲人的痛苦。

我感到非常孤独和无助。

我的母亲是我最亲密的人,她的离去让我感到空虚。

在母亲去世后的几个月里,我感到非常迷茫。

我不知道自己的人生要走向何方。

我开始怀疑自己的价值观,不知道自己真正想要的是什么。

这时,我遇到了我的朋友沃兹尼亚克。

他是一个天才级的工程师,我们很快就成为了好朋友。

我们一起做实验,一起解决问题,一起梦想着创造一些伟大的东西。

在高中毕业后,我决定去里德学院学习。

但我在那里只待了六个月,就退学了。

我意识到,我不能再浪费时间了。

我想要追求我的梦想,而我的梦想是创立一家自己的公司。

于是,我离开了里德学院,开始了一段充满挑战的旅程。

我和沃兹尼亚克一起创立了苹果公司。

我们经历了许多困难,但我们从未放弃。

我们相信,只要我们坚持下去,我们就能成功。

最终,我们成功了。

苹果公司成为了一家伟大的公司,改变了整个世界。

耶鲁大学演讲稿英文

耶鲁大学演讲稿英文

Ladies and Gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud alumni, and most importantly, the incredible Class of [Year],Good evening. It is an honor and a privilege to stand before you today at this momentous occasion, as you embark on what will undoubtedly be one of the most transformative journeys of your lives. I am here to share with you a story, a story of exploration, of learning, and of embracing the unknown – a story that mirrors the essence of Yale University itself.As you sit here today, many of you may be feeling a mix of excitement, anxiety, and perhaps a touch of uncertainty. These emotions areperfectly natural, as you step into a new chapter filled with limitless possibilities. Yale University, with its storied history and vibrant community, has been a beacon of knowledge, innovation, and excellencefor over three centuries. It is a place where ideas are not just exchanged but challenged, where minds are not just educated but ignited, and where spirits are not just nurtured but empowered.Let us journey back to the founding of Yale College in 1701, when a group of scholars, led by the Reverend Ezra Stiles, sought to establish a place where "learning might be propagated, virtue maintained, and religion promoted." Over the years, Yale has grown from a small seminary to a world-renowned institution that boasts a diverse and inclusive community of scholars, artists, and leaders.As you enter this great institution, you are not just joining a community; you are becoming part of a legacy. A legacy that has produced Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and leaders in every field imaginable. A legacy that has fostered a spirit of intellectualcuriosity and a commitment to social justice. A legacy that has taught us that knowledge is not just an end in itself but a tool for making the world a better place.But what does it mean to truly embrace the unknown? It means being open to new experiences, to stepping outside your comfort zone, and to facing challenges with courage and determination. It means being willing to askquestions, to seek answers, and to understand that the pursuit of knowledge is a lifelong journey.At Yale, you will find yourself surrounded by an incredible array of resources and opportunities. You will have access to some of the world's most distinguished faculty, who are not just scholars but mentors and guides. You will have the chance to engage with students from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds, learning from their perspectives and enriching your own.But perhaps the most valuable resource you will find at Yale is the opportunity to explore. To explore not just the depths of your chosen field of study, but also the vastness of human knowledge and the breadth of human experience. You will have the chance to delve into the humanities, to understand the complexities of the natural sciences, to engage with the arts, and to explore the social sciences.As you embark on this journey, remember that learning is not confined to the classroom. It happens in the laboratory, in the library, in the studio, and in the conversation with a fellow student over coffee. It happens in the dorm rooms, in the dining halls, and in the quad. It happens when you step outside your comfort zone and into the unknown.One of the greatest lessons I have learned at Yale is that the unknown is not something to be feared, but something to be embraced. It is in the unknown that we find growth, that we find discovery, that we find ourselves. It is in the unknown that we are challenged to think critically, to question assumptions, and to push the boundaries of our understanding.Consider the story of Dr. Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-American biochemist who, along with Dr. Drew Weissman, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2020 for their pioneering work on mRNA technology. Their discovery was not the result of a single moment of inspiration but rather a series of bold experiments, each one pushing the boundaries of what was known. It was a journey into the unknown, one that required courage, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks.As you sit here today, you may be wondering what your own journey will look like. Will you pursue a career in science, or perhaps in the arts? Will you become an entrepreneur, or a public servant? The answer lies within you, and it is a journey that you will embark on with the support of this community.In closing, I want to leave you with a few words of advice. First, be curious. Always seek to learn, to understand, and to explore. Second, be open. Open to new ideas, to new experiences, and to the people you will meet along the way. Third, be resilient. Embrace challenges, learn from failures, and never give up.Yale University is not just a place where you will receive an education; it is a place where you will find yourself. A place where you will grow, where you will discover, and where you will make a difference in the world.Congratulations, Class of [Year]. Welcome to Yale. Welcome to the journey of a lifetime.Thank you.。

第1篇大家好!今天,我非常荣幸能够站在这里,与大家分享我的耶鲁大学求学经历和感悟。

首先,我要感谢耶鲁大学为我们提供了一个世界级的学术平台,让我们在这里共同成长、追求卓越。

回想起刚踏入耶鲁大学的那一刻,我内心充满了激动和期待。

这里的学术氛围浓厚,同学们才华横溢,让我深感自己肩负着无限的责任和使命。

在接下来的四年里,我努力学习、积极参与社会实践,不断挑战自我,收获了许多宝贵的经验和感悟。

一、学术追求在耶鲁大学,我深刻体会到了学术的魅力。

这里的教授们不仅学识渊博,更注重培养学生的批判性思维和创新能力。

在他们的指导下,我学会了如何独立思考、分析问题,并在此基础上提出自己的见解。

在学术研究中,我选择了自己感兴趣的领域——经济学。

通过学习,我了解了经济学的基本原理和理论,并尝试将其应用于实际生活中。

在这个过程中,我结识了许多志同道合的朋友,共同探讨学术问题,共同进步。

二、社会实践在耶鲁大学,我不仅注重学术研究,更积极参与社会实践。

我认为,理论知识只有与实践相结合,才能真正发挥其价值。

我曾参与过多个社会实践活动,如支教、环保等。

在这些活动中,我深刻体会到了社会责任的重要性,也锻炼了自己的团队协作能力和沟通能力。

同时,这些经历也让我更加关注社会问题,激发了我为社会贡献力量的决心。

三、国际视野耶鲁大学是一个国际化程度极高的学府,这里汇聚了来自世界各地的优秀人才。

在这里,我不仅学到了知识,更拓宽了国际视野。

我曾参加过多次国际交流活动,与来自不同国家的同学们共同探讨学术问题、分享生活经验。

这些经历让我深刻认识到,在全球化的今天,我们需要具备跨文化沟通能力和国际视野,才能更好地适应时代的发展。

四、人生感悟在耶鲁大学的求学过程中,我收获了许多人生感悟。

首先,自信是成功的关键。

在耶鲁大学,我看到了许多优秀的同学,他们不仅在学术上取得了骄人的成绩,更在人生道路上取得了辉煌的成就。

这些成功人士的共同点就是自信。

自信让我们勇敢地面对挑战,不断突破自我。

THE PRESIDENT: President Levin, thank you very much. Dean Brodhead, fellows of the Yale Corporation, fellow Yale parents, families, and graduates: It's a special privilege to receive this honorary degree. I was proud 33 years ago to receive my first Yale degree. I'm even prouder that in your eyes I've earned this one.I congratulate my fellow honorees. I'm pleased to share this honor with such a distinguished group. I'm particularly pleased to be here with my friend, the former of Mexico. Senor Presidente, usted es un verdadero lider, y un gran amigo. (Applause.)I congratulate all the parents who are here. It's a glorious day when your child graduates from college. It's a great day for you; it's a great day for your wallet. (Laughter.)Most important, congratulations to the class of 2001. (Applause.) To those of you who received honors, awards, and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students -- (applause) -- I say, you, too, can be President of the United States. (Laughter and applause.) A Yale degree is worth a lot, as I often remind Dick Cheney -- (laughter) -- who studied here, but left a little early. So now we know -- if you graduate from Yale, you become President. If you drop out, you get to be Vice President. (Laughter.)I appreciate so very much the chance to say a few words on this occasion. I know Yale has a tradition of having no commencement speaker. I also know that you've carved out a single exception. Most people think that to speak at Yale's commencement, you have to be President. But over the years, the specifications have become far more demanding. Now you have to be a Yale graduate, you have to be President, and you have had to have lost the Yale vote to Ralph Nader. (Applause.)This is my first time back here in quite a while. I'm sure that each of you will make your own journey back at least a few times in your life. If you're like me, you won't remember everything you did here. (Laughter.) That can be a good thing. (Laughter.) But there will be some people, and some moments, you will never forget.Take, for example, my old classmate, Dick Brodhead, the accomplished dean of this great university. (Applause.) I remember him as a young scholar, a bright lad -- (laughter) -- a hard worker. We both put a lot of time in at the Sterling Library, in the reading room, where they have those big leather couches. (Laughter.) We had a mutual understanding -- Dick wouldn't read aloud, and I wouldn't snore. (Laughter.) Our course selections were different, as we followed our own path to academic discovery. Dick was an English major, and loved the classics. I loved history, and pursued a diversified course of study. I like to think of it as the academic road less traveled. (Laughter.)For example, I took a class that studied Japanese Haiku. Haiku, for the uninitiated, is a 15th century form of poetry, each poem having 17 syllables. Haiku is fully understood only by the Zen masters. As I recall, one of my academic advisers was worried about my selection of such a specialized course. He said I should focus on English. (Laughter.) I still hear that quite often. (Laughter.) But my critics don't realize I don't make verbal gaffes. I'm speaking in the perfect forms and rhythms of ancient Haiku. (Applause.)I did take English here, and I took a class called "The History and Practice of American Oratory," taught by Rollin G. Osterweis. (Applause.) And, President Levin,I want to give credit where credit is due. I want the entire world to know this -- everything I know about the spoken word, I learned right here at Yale. (Laughter.)As a student, I tried to keep a low profile. It worked. Last year the New York Times interviewed John Morton Blum because the record showed I had taken one of his courses. Casting his mind's eye over the parade of young faces down through the years, Professor Blum said, and I quote, "I don't have the foggiest recollection of him." (Laughter.)But I remember Professor Blum. And I still recall his dedication and high standards of learning. In my time there were many great professors at Yale. And there still are. They're the ones who keep Yale going after the commencements, after we have all gone our separate ways. I'm not sure I remembered to thank them the last time I was here, but now that I have a second chance, I thank the professors of Yale University. (Applause.)That's how I've come to feel about the Yale experience -- grateful. I studied hard, I played hard, and I made a lot of lifelong friends. What stays with you from college is the part of your education you hardly ever notice at the time. It's the expectations and examples around you, the ideals you believe in, and the friends you make.In my time, they spoke of the "Yale man." I was really never sure what that was. But I do think that I'm a better man because of Yale. All universities, at their best, teach that degrees and honors are far from the full measure of life. Nor is that measure taken in wealth or in titles. What matters most are the standards you live by, the consideration you show others, and the way you use the gifts you are given.Now you leave Yale behind, carrying the written proof of your success here, at a college older than America. When I left here, I didn't have much in the way of a life plan. I knew some people who thought they did. But it turned out that we were all in for ups and downs, most of them unexpected. Life takes its own turns, makes its own demands, writes its own story. And along the way, we start to realize we are not the author.We begin to understand that life is ours to live, but not to waste, and that the greatest rewards are found in the commitments we make with our whole hearts -- to the people we love and to the causes that earn our sacrifice. I hope that each of you will know these rewards. I hope you will find them in your own way and your own time.For some, that might mean some time in public service. And if you hear that calling, I hope you answer. Each of you has unique gifts and you were given them for a reason. Use them and share them. Public service is one way -- an honorable way -- to mark your life with meaning.Today I visit not only my alma mater, but the city of my birth. My life began just a few blocks from here, but I was raised in West Texas. From there, Yale always seemed a world away, maybe a part of my future. Now it's part of my past, and Yale for me is a source of great pride.I hope that there will come a time for you to return to Yale to say that, and feel as I do today. And I hope you won't wait as long. Congratulations and God bless. (Applause.)。

美国国务卿克里在耶鲁大学毕业活动日上英语演讲稿

美国国务卿克里在耶鲁大学毕业活动日上英语演讲稿Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think Winston Churchill said the only reason people give a standing ovation is they desperately seek an excuse to shift their underwear. (Laughter.) So certainly before I’ve opened my mouth, that’s true. (Laughter.)Anyway, President Salovey and faculty members, parents, siblings who came here under thefalse impression there would be free food (laughter); Handsome Dan, wherever you are,probably at some fire hydrant somewhere (laughter); members of the 2019 NCAA championmen’s ice hockey team (cheers and applause); distinguished guests and graduates,graduates of the Class of 2019, I really am privileged to be able to be here and share thecelebration of this day with you, especially 48 years after standing up right here as a veryintimidated senior wondering what I was going to say.You are graduating today as the most diverse class in Yale’s long history. Or as they call it inthe NBA, Donald Sterling’s worst nightmare. (Laughter and applause.)Nia and Josh: Thank you for such a generous introduction. What Josh didn’t mention is that heinterned for me at the State Department last summer. (Cheers and applause.) Well, hold on aminute now. (Laughter.) I learned that he’s not afraid to talk truth to power, or semi-truth. (Laughter.) On his last day he walked up to me at the State Department and he was brutallyhonest. He said, “Mr. Secretary, JE sucks.” (Laughter and cheers.) No, actually, on the last day at the State Department, he asked if I would come here today anddeliver a message his classmatesreally needed to hear. So here it goes: Jarred Phillips, you stillowe Josh money from that road trip last fall. (Laughter and applause.)I have to tell you, it is really fun for me to be back here on the Old Campus. I’m accompaniedby a classmate of mine. We were on the soccer team together. We had a lot of fun. He served asambassador to Italy recently, David Thorne. And my daughter Vanessa graduated in the Classof 1999, so I know what a proud moment this is for your parents. But my friends, the test willbe if they still feel this way next May if you live at home. (Laughter.)Now, I’m really happy you made it back from Myrtle Beach. (Cheers and applause.) As if youhadn’t already logged enough keg time at “Woads”. (Cheers.) Just remember, just remember: 4.0 is a really good GPA, but it’s a lousy blood-alcohol level. (Laughter.)I love the hats. We didn’t have the hats when I was here. I love the hats. They are outrageous.They’re spectacular. This may well be the only event that Pharrell could crash and gounnoticed. (Laughter and applause.)I’ve been looking around. I’ve seen a couple of Red Sox, a few Red Sox hats out there. (Cheers.)I’ve also seen a few of those dreaded interlocking N’s and Y’s. (Cheers.) But that’s okay: I saiddiversity is important. (Laughter.) It’s also an easy way for me to tell who roots for theYankees and who’s graduating with distinction. (Laughter and cheers.)So here’s the deal, here’s the deal: I went online and I learned in the Yale Daily comments thatI wasn’t everyone’s first choiceto be up here. (Laughter.)When Yale announced that I’d be speaking, someone actually wrote, “I hope they give outFive-Hour Energy to help everyone stay awake.”(Laughter.) Well don’t worry folks: I promisenot to be one minute over four hours. (Laughter.)Someone else wrote I haven’t “screwed up badly as Secretary of State ... yet.” (Laughter.)Well, all I can say is, stay tuned. (Laughter.)But my favorite comment was this: “I’m really proud that a Yalie is Secretary of State.” Ishould have stopped reading right there because he or she went on to write, “but he is buttugly.”(Laughter.) So there go my dreams of being on “Yale’s 50 most beautiful” list. (Cheersand applause.)It really is a privilege for me to share this celebration with you, though I’m forewarned that noone remembers who delivers their graduation speech. All I really remember about our speakerin 1966 is that he was eloquent, insightful, really good looking. (Laughter.) Anyway, onething I promise you, one thing I promise you: I will stay away from the tired cliches ofcommencement, things like “be yourself,”“do what makes you happy,”“don’t use the laundryroom in Saybrook”. (Cheers and applause.) That’s about all I’ll say about that. (Laughter.)So right after we graduated, Time Magazine came out with its famous “Man of the Year” issue.But for 1966, Timedidn’t pick one man or one woman. They picked our entire generation.And Time expressed a lot of high hopes for us. It not only predicted that we’d cure thecommon cold, but that we’d cure cancer, too. It predicted that we’d build smog-free cities andthat we’d end poverty and war once and for all. I know what you’re thinking – we reallycrushed it. (Laughter.)So fair question: Did my generation get lost? Well, that’s actually a conversation for anothertime. But let me put one theory to rest: It’s not true that everyone in my generationexperimented with drugs. Although between Flomax, Lipitor and Viagra, now we do. (Laughterand applause.)Now, I did have some pretty creative classmates back then. One of my good friends, very closefriends in JE – (cheers) – I’m going to set it right for you guys right now. (Laughter.) One of mygood friends in JE had at least two hair-brained ideas. The first was a little start-up built on thenotion that if people had a choice, they’d pay a little more to mail a package and have it arrivethe very next day. Crazy, right? Today that start-up is called FedEx. And by the way, it wascreated in JE, which therefore means JE rules. (Cheers and applause.)Now, his other nutty idea was to restart something called the Yale Flying Club. And admittedly,this was more of a scheme to get us out of class and off the campus. So I basically spent mysenior year majoring in flying, practicing take-offs and landings out at Tweed Airport.Responsible? No. But I wouldn’t have missed it.And one of the best lessons I learned here is that Mark Twain was absolutely right: Never letschool get in the way of an education.Now, I didn’t know it at the time, but Yale also taught me to finish what you start. And that’sone thing that clearlyseparates us from Harvard. (Laughter.) After all, a lot of those guys don’teven graduate. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Matt Damon – what the hell have they everamounted to? (Laughter.) For all I ever learned at Yale, I have to tell you truthfully the best piece of advice I ever got wasactually one word from my 89-year-old mother. I’ll never forget sitting by her bedside andtelling her I had decided to run for President. And she squeezed my hand and she said: “Integrity, John. Integrity. Just remember always, integrity.” And maybe that tells you a lotabout what she thought about politics.But you should know: In a complicated world full of complicated decisions and close calls thatcould go either way, what keeps you awake at night isn’t so much whether or not you got thedecision right or wrong. It’s whether you made your decision for the right reasons: Integrity.And the single best piece of advice I ever received about diplomacy didn’t come from myinternational relations class, but it came from my father, who served in the Foreign Service. Hetold me that diplomacy was really about being able to see the world through the eyes ofsomeone else, to understand their aspirations and assumptions.And perhaps that’s just another word for empathy. But whatever it is, I will tell you sittinghere on one of the most gorgeous afternoons in New Haven as you graduate: Listening makes adifference, not just in foreign ministries but on the streets and in the souks and on the socialmedia network the world over.So Class of 2019, as corny as it may sound, remember that your parents aren’t just here todayas spectators. They’re also hereas teachers – and even if counter-intuitive, it’s not a badidea to stay enrolled in their course as long as you can.Now for my part, I am grateful to Yale because I did learn a lot here in all of the ways that agreat university can teach. But there is one phrase from one class above all that for somereason was indelibly stamped into my consciousness. Perhaps it’s because I spent almost 30years in the United States Senate seeing it applied again and again.One morning in the Law School Auditorium, my Professor, John Morton Blum, said simply: “Allpolitics is a reaction to felt needs.”What I thought he meant is that things only get done inpublic life when the people who want something demand nothing less and the people who makeit happen decide tht they can do nothing less.Those “felt needs” have driven every movement and decision that I’ve witnessed in politicssince – from South Africa a couple of decades ago to the Arab Spring a few years ago to ourown communities, where same-sex couples refuse to be told by their government who they canlove.In 1963, I remember walking out of Dwight Hall one evening after an activist named AllardLowenstein gave the impassioned and eloquent plea that I had ever heard. He compelled usto feel the need to engage in the struggle for civil rights right here in our own country.And that’s why, just steps from here, right over there on High Street, we lined up buses thatdrove students from Yale andelsewhere south to be part of the Mississippi Voter RegistrationDrive and help break the back of Jim Crow. Ultimately we forced Washington to ensure throughthe law that our values were not mere words. We saw Congress respond to this “felt need” andpass the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, and life in America did change.Not only did landmark civil rights advances grow out of the sit-ins and marches, but we sawthe EPA and the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act and allof it come out of Earth Day in 1970. We saw women refusing to take a back-seat, forceinstitutions to respond, producing Title IX and a Yale University that quickly transformedfrom a male bastion of 1966. Citizens, including veterans of the war, spoke up and brought ourtroops home from Vietnam.The fact is that what leaps out at me now is the contrast between those heady days and today.Right or wrong, and like it or not –and certainly some people certainly didn’t like it – back theninstitutions were hard pressed to avoid addressing the felt needs of our country.Indeed, none of what I’ve talked about happened overnight. The pace of change was differentfrom today. The same fall that my class walked in as freshmen, Nelson Mandela walked intoprison. It wasn’t until 30 years later, when my daughter walked through these gates for thefirst time, that Mandela was his country’s president.When I was a senior, the debate over the growing war in Vietnam was becoming allconsuming. But it took another seven years before combat ended for our country, and morethan 25,000 lives. And it wasn’t until the year 2019 that we finally made peace andnormalizedrelations. Now, amazingly, we have more Vietnamese studying in America – including some inyour class – than from almost any other country in the world.What’s notable is this daring journey of progress played out over years, decades, and evengenerations. But today, the felt needs are growing at a faster pace than ever before, piling upon top of each other, while the response in legislatures or foreign capitals seems nonexistentor frozen.It’s not that the needs aren’t felt. It’s that people around the world seem to have grown used toseeing systems or institutions failing to respond. And the result is an obvious deepeningfrustration if not exasperation with institutional governance.The problem is today’s institutions are simply not keeping up or even catching up to the feltneeds of our time. Right before our eyes, difficult decisions are deferred or avoided altogether.Some people even give up before they try because they just don’t believe that they can make adifference. And the sum total of all of this inaction is stealing the future from all of us.Just a few examples, from little to big: a train between Washington and New York that can go150 miles-per-hour – but, lacking modern infrastructure, goes that fast for only 18 miles of thetrip; an outdated American energy grid which can’t sell energy from one end of the country tothe other; climate change growing more urgent by the day, with 97 percent of scientiststellingus for years of the imperative to act. The solution is staring us in the face: Make energypolicy choices that will allow America to lead a $6 trillion market. Yet still we remaingridlocked;immigration reform urgently needed to unleash the power – the full power of millions who livehere and make our laws in doing so both sensible and fair.And on the world stage, you will not escape it – even more urgency. We see huge, growingpopulations of young people in places that offer little education, little economic or politicalopportunity. In countries from North Africa to East Asia, you are older than half theirpopulation. Forty percent of their population is younger than Yale’s next incoming class.If we can’t galvanize action to recognize their felt needs –if we don’t do more to coordinatean attack on extreme poverty, provide education, opportunity, and jobs, we inviteinstability. And I promise you, radical extremism is all too ready to fill the vacuum leftbehind.What should be clear to everyone – and it’s perhaps what makes our current predicament,frankly, so frustrating – is that none of our problems are without solutions. None of them. Butneither will they solve themselves. So for all of us, it’s really a question of willpower, notcapacity. It’s a matter of refusing to fall prey to the cynicism and apathy that have alwaysbeen the mortal enemies of progress. And it requires keeping faith with the ability ofinstitutions – of America – to do big things when the moment demands it. Remember whatNelson Mandela said when confronted by pessimism in the long march to freedom: “It alwaysseems impossible until it is done.”One thing I know for sure – these and other felt needs will never be addressed if you, we fallvictim to the slow suffocation of conventional wisdom.On Tuesday I sat in the State Department with some young Foreign Service officers at theState Department, and one of them said something to me that I’ve been thinking about,frankly, all week. He wasn’t much older than any of you. He said: “We’ve gone from an erawhere power lived in hierarchies to an era where power lives in networks – and now we’rewrestling with the fact that those hierarchies are unsettled by the new power.”Every one of you and your parents have mobile devices here today. They represent a lot morethan your ability to put a picture on Fbook or Ins. They are one of the powerful newinstruments of change that makes hierarchies uncomfortable because you can communicatewith everybody, anywhere, all the time – and that’s how you beat conventional wisdom.That’s what makes me certain that felt needs are not just problems. They are opportunities.And I am convinced if you are willing to challenge the conventional wisdom, which youshould be after this education, you can avoid the dangerous byproducts of indifference,hopelessness, and my least favorite: cynicism.It is indifference that says our problems are so great, let’s not even try. We have to rejectthat. It’s hopelessness that says that our best days are behind us. I couldn’t disagree more.It’s cynicism that says we’re powerless to effect real change,and that the era of Americanleadership is over. I don’t believe that for a second, and neither does President Obama. Werefuse to limit our vision of the possibilities for our country, and so should you. Together wehave to all refuse to accept the downsizing of America’s role in a very complicated world.I happen to love T.S. Eliot’s "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,”one of my favorite poems. And Irespectfully challenge you to never wind up fretfully musing as Prufrock did: “Do I daredisturb the universe? In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute willreverse.” Class of 2019: Your job is to disturb the universe.You have to reject the notion that the problems are too big and too complicated so don’t wadein. You don’t have the luxury of just checking out. And it doesn’t matter what profession youwind up in, what community you live in, where you are, what you’re doing, you do not havethat luxury.One of the greatest rewards of being Secretary of State is getting to see with my own eyes howmuch good news there actually is in the world – how many good people there are out thereevery single day courageously fighting back. The truth is that everywhere I go I see or hearabout an extraordinary number of individual acts of courage and bravery, all of which defythe odds – all by people who simply refuse to give up, and who start with a lot lessopportunity than you do.You can see this in the lonely human rights activist who struggles against tyranny and againsta dictator until they are defeated. You see it in the democracy activist who goes to jail tryingto ensure an election is free and transparent. You see itin the civil rights lawyer who suffersscorn and isolation for standing against bigotry, racism, and intolerance.I am literally in awe of the courage that ordinary, anonymous people demonstrate in themost difficult circumstances imaginable – in a dank African jail, a North Korean gulag, aprison in Syria or Central Asia, facing the cruelest persecution and lonely isolation.Many of these people just quietly disappear. They lose their lives. They never become aninternational cause or a global hero. Courage is not a strong enough word for what they doevery day, and all of us need to think about that.What all these people have in common – and what I hope they have in common with you – isthat they refuse to be complacent and indifferent to what is going on around them or towhat should be going on around them.And that’s the most important lesson I hope you will take with you when you leave Yale. Thefact is that for those of you who have loans are not the only burden you graduate with today.You have had the privilege of a Yale education. No matter where you come from, no matterwhere you’re going next, the four years that you’ve spent here are an introduction toresponsibility. And your education requires something more of you than serving yourself. It callson you to give back, in whatever way you can. It requires you to serve the world around youand, yes, to make a difference. That is what has always set America apart: our generosity, ourhumanity, our idealism.Last year I walked through the devastation of the typhoon that hit the Philippines. The itary and USAID and regular volunteers got there before countries that lived a lot closer. Wewent there without being asked and without asking for anything in return. And today Americansare helping to bring that community back to life.In Nigeria, when Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of girls, the government didn’t turn to otherpowerful countries for help – and by the way, they’re not offering.As Josh and Nia mentioned, it was my privilege to stand here 48 years ago at Class Day.Before coming here, I did re-read that speech. A lot of it was about Vietnam, but one linejumped out at me. In 1966 I suggested, “an excess of isolation had led to an excess ofinterventionism.” Today we hear a different tune from some in Congress and even on somecampuses and we face the opposite concern. We cannot allow a hangover from the excessiveinterventionism of the last decade to lead now to an excess of isolationism in this decade.I can tell you for certain, most of the rest of the world doesn’t lie awake at night worryingabout America’s presence – they worry about what would happen in our absence.Without arrogance, without chauvinism, never forget that what makes America different fromother nations is not a common bloodline or a common religion or a common ideology or acommon heritage –what makes us different is that we are united by an uncommon idea: thatwe’re all created equal and all endowed with unalienable rights. America is not just a countrylike other countries. America is anidea and we – all of us, you – get to fill it out over time.Tomorrow, when President Salovey grants you those diplomas, listen to what he says. He won’tsay what is said at most schools – that your degree admits you to all its “rights and privileges.”At Yale, we say your degree admits you to all its “rights and responsibilities.” It means we needto renew that responsibility over and over again every day. It’s not a one-timedecision.Participation is the best antidote to pessimism and ultimately cynicism.So I ask you today on a celebratory afternoon as you think about the future: Remember whathappened when the Founding Fathers had finished their hard work at the ConstitutionalConvention in Philadelphia and Ben Franklin, tired, end of day, walked down at night, down thesteps of the hall. A woman called to him. She said, “Tell us Dr. Franklin: What do we have, amonarchy or a republic?”And he answered: “A republic, if you can keep it.”Class of 2019: We know what you have – a world-class education – if you will use it.Congratulations to you, good luck, and God bless. (Cheers and applause.)。

毕业典礼演讲稿英文版毕业典礼演讲稿英文版毕业典礼演讲稿英文版一Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a ood look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude."In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers."You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not."Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not."Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not."And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not."Hmm . . . you're very upset. That's understandable. So let mestroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy."You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer."Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads."Hmm... you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago."Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up."For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ."(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)毕业典礼演讲稿英文版二you all are leaving your alma mater now. i have no gift to present you all except a piece of advice.what i would like to advise is that "don’t give up your study." most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will not be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will say, "after graduation and going into the society, we will meet with an urgent problem, that is, to make a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can we study further?"i would like to say that all those who wait to have a library will not study further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do experiments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on food and clothing.as for time, i should say it’s not a problem. you may know that every day he could do only an hour work, not much morethan that because darwin was ill for all his life. you must have read his achievements. every day you spend an hour in reading 10 useful pages, then you will read more than 3650 pages every year. in 30 years you will have read 110,000 pages.my fellow students, reading 110,000 pages will make you a scholar. but it will take you an hour to read three kinds of small-sized newspapers and it will take you an hour and a half to play four rounds of mahjian pieces. reading small-sized newspapers or playing mahjian pieces, or working hard to be a scholar? it’s up to you all.henrik ibsen said, "it is your greatest duty to make yourself out."studying is then as tool as casting. giving up studying will destroy yourself.i have to say goodbye to you all. your alma mater will open her eyes to see what you will be in 10 years. goodbye!。

耶鲁大学经典毕业演讲稿(3篇)

第1篇大家好!今天,我非常荣幸能站在这里,与大家共同见证耶鲁大学这个辉煌的时刻——毕业典礼。

首先,我要向耶鲁大学表示衷心的感谢,感谢你们给予我这段美好的时光,让我在这里收获了知识、友谊和成长。

同时,我也要感谢我的家人、朋友和老师们,是你们的关爱和支持,让我有了今天这个成就。

今天,我要和大家分享的主题是“不忘初心,砥砺前行”。

这是一句简单而又深刻的话语,它提醒我们,在人生的道路上,要始终保持一颗初心,勇往直前,不断追求卓越。

首先,让我们回顾一下在耶鲁大学的四年时光。

这四年,我们经历了无数次的挑战与困难,也收获了无数的喜悦与成功。

在这里,我们学会了独立思考,学会了批判性思维,学会了团队合作,更学会了如何面对人生的起伏。

我想说的是,这四年,我们不仅学到了知识,更学会了如何做人。

耶鲁大学不仅是一所世界顶尖的学府,更是一个充满人文关怀的大家庭。

在这里,我们学会了尊重他人,学会了包容差异,学会了关爱社会。

这些都是我们人生中宝贵的财富。

接下来,我想谈谈“不忘初心”。

初心,就是最初的梦想,是人生道路上的指引灯。

在人生的每一个阶段,我们都要坚守初心,不忘初衷。

那么,我们的初心是什么呢?对于我来说,我的初心就是成为一名对社会有贡献的人。

在耶鲁大学,我学到了很多专业知识,但我深知,知识的力量在于运用。

我要将所学知识运用到实际工作中,为社会创造价值。

我相信,只要我们不忘初心,勇往直前,就一定能够实现自己的梦想。

然而,不忘初心并非易事。

在人生的道路上,我们会遇到各种各样的诱惑和困难。

这时,我们需要坚定信念,勇敢面对。

正如耶鲁大学的校训“光明与真理”所倡导的,我们要追求光明,追求真理,始终保持一颗纯净的心灵。

那么,如何才能不忘初心呢?以下是我的一些建议:1. 确立人生目标。

明确自己的人生方向,为之努力奋斗。

当遇到困难时,想想自己的目标,就能找到前进的动力。

2. 勇于面对挑战。

人生充满了不确定性,我们要勇敢地面对挑战,不断突破自我,实现人生价值。

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

耶鲁大学演讲稿英文(3篇)

第1篇---Title: Embracing the Unknown: A Journey of Growth and DiscoverySpeaker: [Fictional Name], Class of [Fictional Year]---Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed faculty, proud alumni, and future Yale Bulldogs,Good evening. It is an honor to stand before you today, amidst thestoried halls of this magnificent institution. Yale has been a beacon of knowledge, innovation, and leadership for generations, and I am deeply grateful to be part of this community.As we gather here tonight, I find myself reflecting on the concept of "none." In the spirit of Yale's intellectual rigor, I am not referringto the absence of something, but rather to the idea of nothingness as a catalyst for growth and discovery.In the world of physics, "none" represents the vacuum, a space devoid of matter. It is the canvas upon which the universe painted its grand design. In philosophy, "none" is the realm of pure thought, unburdenedby the constraints of the tangible world. And in life, "none" is thevoid we must navigate to find our true purpose.At Yale, we are constantly challenged to push beyond the boundaries of our comfort zones. We are encouraged to explore the unknown, to question the status quo, and to embrace the risks that come with such exploration. This is the essence of what it means to be a Yale student.Consider the case of the late Nobel laureate, Dr. Kary Mullis, who revolutionized the field of molecular biology with the development ofthe polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Dr. Mullis's journey began with a simple question: what if we could amplify DNA? It was an idea that seemed as absurd as it was revolutionary. But it was the void, the"none" of the unknown, that inspired him to innovate and to change the world.The same is true for us. As we navigate the complexities of life, we must not fear the void. Instead, we should see it as an opportunity to learn, to grow, and to find our unique path.Here at Yale, we have the tools and the resources to explore the unknown. We have the freedom to think critically, to engage in debates, and to challenge the norms of society. But we must also remember that the true power of the void lies within us.We must be willing to embrace our own "none," to acknowledge the uncertainty that comes with life's journey, and to face it with courage and determination. It is in the face of the unknown that we discover our true potential.So, as we move forward, let us not be afraid of the void. Let us not shy away from the challenges that lie ahead. Let us be the architects of our own futures, unafraid to embrace the "none" that is the essence ofgrowth and discovery.In closing, I leave you with a quote from the great writer, J.K. Rowling: "Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." As we navigate the void, let us remember to turn on the light of our own intellect, our own compassion, and our own courage.Thank you.---This speech is a blend of inspiration, philosophy, and a nod to the innovative spirit of Yale University.第2篇---Ladies and Gentlemen,It is an honor to stand before you today at Yale University, a place renowned for its pursuit of knowledge and excellence. Today, I want to talk about a concept that may seem paradoxical at first glance, but one that holds profound implications for our lives: the power of none.In our world, filled with relentless pursuit of success, achievement, and the constant desire to be the best, the idea of "none" might seem like anathema. We are conditioned to strive, to compete, to always be reaching for the next goal. But what if I told you that sometimes, the greatest power comes from embracing the concept of none?None, in this context, refers to the absence of something—be it possessions, expectations, or even self-imposed limitations. It is the space between the lines, the quiet moment before the storm, the void that allows for creativity and growth.Let's consider possessions. We live in an age where materialism has become an epidemic. We are constantly bombarded with advertisements telling us we need more, better, and newer things. But what if we had none of these things? What if we were stripped of our possessions and were left with only what truly matters—our relationships, our health, our sense of self?Imagine a world where people are not defined by what they own, but by who they are. A world where we value experiences over things, where we find joy in the simple moments of life, rather than the constant acquisition of more and more.Now, let's talk about expectations. We are raised with a set of expectations that define our lives—what we should do, how we should look, who we should be. But what if we had none of these expectations? What if we were free to pursue our own paths, to explore our own passions, without the weight of societal norms and pressures?In a world without expectations, we might find that we are more authentic, more ourselves. We might discover talents and passions we never knew we had, and we might build communities that are based on mutual respect and support, rather than competition and comparison.Lastly, let's consider self-imposed limitations. We all have them—those internal barriers that hold us back from reaching our full potential. But what if we could break through these limitations? What if we could embrace the unknown, the uncertainty, and the possibility that lies beyond our comfort zones?The power of none lies in the courage to face these limitations head-on. It is the power to choose our own paths, to create our own definitions of success, and to live lives that are true to ourselves.Ladies and Gentlemen, the power of none is not about giving up or retreating from the world. It is about finding balance, about recognizing that sometimes, the most powerful things in life are the things we don't have. It is about understanding that in the void, in the space between, there is an opportunity for growth, for change, for transformation.So, let us embrace the power of none. Let us use it to create a world where we are not defined by what we have, but by what we are. A world where we are not constrained by expectations, but are free to be our true selves. A world where we are not limited by self-imposed barriers, but are unshackled by the possibilities that lie before us.Thank you.---第3篇---Title: Embracing the Unknown: A Journey of Self-DiscoveryLadies and Gentlemen,Thank you for the opportunity to stand before you today. I am honored to be part of this esteemed community, where every voice matters, and every perspective is valued.When I was invited to give this speech, I was struck by the theme: "None." It's an enigmatic word, a concept that has no definition, noboundaries, and no limits. It's the void, the space between the known and the unknown, and I believe it holds the key to our personal growth and the collective progress of our society.Let's start with the unknown. It's a place where we are uncharted, untested, and unprepared. It's where fear often resides, but it's also where our greatest potential lies. The unknown is the realm of possibility, the space where dreams take flight and innovation is born.When I first arrived at Yale, I was filled with a sense of excitement and apprehension. The unknown was ahead, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I remember sitting in my dorm room, staring at the blank walls, and thinking to myself, "What will my future be like? Will I be able to live up to the expectations that come with attending this prestigious university?"It was in that moment of uncertainty that I realized the power of the unknown. It pushed me to explore, to learn, and to grow. I took risks, I made mistakes, and I learned from them. I discovered new passions, I found new strengths, and I developed a resilience that I didn't know I had.But embracing the unknown isn't just about personal growth. It's also about contributing to the world around us. As we navigate through life, we encounter countless unknowns that challenge us to be better, to be more compassionate, and to be more innovative.Take, for example, the climate crisis. The unknowns of climate change are daunting, but they also present us with opportunities. Opportunities to innovate, to create sustainable solutions, and to work together towards a better future. By embracing the unknown, we can turn challenges into opportunities.The word "none" also brings to mind the concept of diversity. None of us are the same, and it's this diversity that makes our world rich and vibrant. At Yale, we are surrounded by people from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. It's thisdiversity that allows us to understand the unknowns that others face, and to work together to find solutions.In conclusion, I urge each of us to embrace the unknown. To step into the void with courage and curiosity, to seek knowledge, and to grow. To be unafraid of the mistakes we will make, for they are the stepping stones to our success.Yale has taught me that the unknown is not something to be feared, but something to be embraced. It's the canvas upon which we paint our lives, the journey that defines us, and the destination that awaits us.Thank you.---This speech is a blend of personal reflection and broader societal themes, typical of the thoughtful and reflective speeches given at Yale University.。

耶鲁大学毕业典礼中英文演讲稿耶鲁大学毕业典礼中英文演讲稿graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you expect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.“in fact, as i look out before me today, i don’t see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i don’t see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries.i see a thousand losers.“you’re upset. that’s understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence ‘larry’ ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions? i’ll tell you why. because i, lawrence “larry” ellis on, second richest man onthe planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.“because bill gates, richest man on the planet for now, anyway is a college dropout, and you are not. “because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.“and for good measure, because michael dell, no.9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.“hmm . . . you’re very upset. that’s understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you’ve learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. you’ve estab lished good work habits. you’ve established a network of people that will help you down the road. and you’ve established what will be lifelong relationships with the word ‘therapy.’ all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.“you will need them because you didn’t drop out,and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i don’t have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.“finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, ‘is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all?’ actually, no. it’s too late. you’ve absorbed too much, think you know too much. you’re not 19 anymore. you have a builtin cap, and i’m not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.“hmm... you’re really very upset. that’s understandable. so perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. not for you, class of ‘00. you are a writeoff, so i’ll let you slink off to your pathetic 200,000ayear jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.“instead, i want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. i say to you, and i can’t stress this enough:leave. pack your things and your ideas and don’t come back. drop out. start up.“for i can tell y ou that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . .” (at this point the oracle ceo was ushered off stage.)【中文译文】:耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。

我想请你们为我做一件事。

请你好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。

请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,XX年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。

而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。

失败的经历。

失败的优等生。

说实话,今天我站在这里,并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。

我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者,我只看到了一千个失败者。

你们感到沮丧,这是可以理解的。

为什么,我,埃里森,一个退学生,竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。

因为,我,埃里森,这个行星上第二富有的人,是个退学生,而你不是。

因为比尔盖茨,这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言是个退学生,而你不是。

因为艾伦,这个行星上第三富有的人,也退了学,而你没有。

再来一点证据吧,因为戴尔,这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升,也是个退学生。

而你,不是。

你们非常沮丧,这是可以理解的。

你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。

你将来需要这种’治疗’。

你需要它们,因为你没辍学,所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。

哦,当然,你可以,也许,以你的方式进步到第10位,第11位,就像steve。

但,我没有告诉你他在为谁工作,是吧?根据记载,他是研究生时辍的学,开化得稍晚了些。

现在,我猜想你们中间很多人,也许是绝大多数人,正在琢磨,’我能做什么? 我究竟有没有前途?’当然没有。

太晚了,你们已经吸收了太多东西,以为自己懂得太多。

你们再也不是19岁了。

你们有了’内置’的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。

嗯......你们已经非常沮丧啦。

这是可以理解的。

所以,现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——绝不是为了你们,XX年毕业生。

你们已经被报销,不予考虑了。

我想,你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧,在那里,工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。

事实上,我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。

我要对他们说,离开这里。

收拾好你的东西,带着你的点子,别再回来。

退学吧,开始行动。

我要告诉你,一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落,就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然。

(此时,larry被带离了讲台)。
