喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的英文演講稿 1
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs,CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios,delivered on June 12,2005.
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.I never graduated from college.Truth be told,I never graduated from college.This is the closest Ive ever gotten to a college graduation.Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.Thats it.No big deal.Just three stories.
斯坦福是世界上最好的大學(xué)之一，今天能參加各位的畢業(yè)典禮，我備感榮幸。(尖叫聲)我從來(lái)沒有從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，說(shuō)句實(shí)話，此時(shí)算是我離大學(xué)畢業(yè)最近的一刻。(笑聲)今天，我想告訴你們我生命中的三個(gè)故事，并非什么了不得的大事件，只是三個(gè)小故事而已。
The first story is about connecting the dots.
第一個(gè)故事 關(guān)于串起生命中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months,but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out?
退學(xué)是我這一生所做出的最正確的決定之一。我在里德大學(xué)待了6個(gè)月就退學(xué)了，但之后仍作為旁聽生混了18個(gè)月后才最終離開。我為什么要退學(xué)呢?
It started before I was born.My biological mother was a young,unwed college graduate student,and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates,so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife.Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents,who were on a waiting list,got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoption papers.She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
故事要從我出生之前開始說(shuō)起。我的生母是一名年輕的未婚媽媽，當(dāng)時(shí)她還是一所大學(xué)的在讀研究生，于是決定把我送給其他人收養(yǎng)。她堅(jiān)持我應(yīng)該被一對(duì)念過(guò)大學(xué)的夫婦收養(yǎng)，所以在我出生的時(shí)候，她已經(jīng)為我被一個(gè)律師和他的太太收養(yǎng)做好了所有的準(zhǔn)備。但在最后一刻，這對(duì)夫婦改了主意，決定收養(yǎng)一個(gè)女孩。候選名單上的另外一對(duì)夫婦，也就是我的養(yǎng)父母，在一天午夜接到了一通電話：“ 有一個(gè)不請(qǐng)自來(lái)的男嬰，你們想收養(yǎng)嗎?” 他們回答：“ 當(dāng)然想�！� 事后，我的生母才發(fā)現(xiàn)我的養(yǎng)母根本就沒有從大學(xué)畢業(yè)，而我的養(yǎng)父甚至連高中都沒有畢業(yè)，所以她拒絕簽署最后的收養(yǎng)文件，直到幾個(gè)月后，我的養(yǎng)父母保證會(huì)把我送到大學(xué)，她的態(tài)度才有所轉(zhuǎn)變。
And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford,and all of my working-class parents savings were being spent on my college tuition.After six months,I couldnt see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK.It was pretty scary at the time,but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didnt interest me,and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
17 年之后，我真上了大學(xué)。但因?yàn)槟暧谉o(wú)知，我選擇了一所和斯坦福一樣昂貴的大學(xué)，(笑聲)我的父母都是工人階級(jí)，他們傾其所有資助我的學(xué)業(yè)。在6個(gè)月之后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己完全不知道這樣念下去究竟有什么用。當(dāng)時(shí)，我的人生漫無(wú)目標(biāo)，也不知道大學(xué)對(duì)我能起到什么幫助，為了念書，還花光了父母畢生的積蓄，所以我決定退學(xué)。我相信車到山前必有路。當(dāng)時(shí)作這個(gè)決定的時(shí)候非常害怕，但現(xiàn)在回頭去看，這是我這一生所做出的最正確的決定之一。(笑聲)從我退學(xué)那一刻起，我就再也不用去上那些我毫無(wú)興趣的必修課了，我開始旁聽那些看來(lái)比較有意思的科目。
It wasnt all romantic.I didnt have a dorm room,so I slept on the floor in friends rooms,I returned coke bottles for the 5 cent; deposits to buy food with,and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster,every label on every drawer,was beautifully hand calligraphed.Because I had dropped out and didnt have to take the normal classes,I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and san serif typefaces,about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations,about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful,historical,artistically subtle in a way that science cant capture,and I found it fascinating.
這件事情做起來(lái)一點(diǎn)都不浪漫。因?yàn)闆]有自己的宿舍，我只能睡在朋友房間的地板上;可樂瓶的押金是5 分錢，我把瓶子還回去好用押金買吃的;在每個(gè)周日的晚上，我都會(huì)步行7英里穿越市區(qū)，到HareKrishna教堂吃一頓大餐，我喜歡那兒的食物。我跟隨好奇心和直覺所做的事情，事后證明大多數(shù)都是極其珍貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。我舉一個(gè)例子：那個(gè)時(shí)候，里德大學(xué)提供了全美國(guó)最好的書法教育。整個(gè)校園的每一張海報(bào)，每一個(gè)抽屜上的標(biāo)簽，都是漂亮的手寫體。由于已經(jīng)退學(xué)，不用再去上那些常規(guī)的課程，于是我選擇了一個(gè)書法班，想學(xué)學(xué)怎么寫出一手漂亮字。在這個(gè)班上，我學(xué)習(xí)了各種字體，如何改變不同字體組合之間的字間距，以及如何做出漂亮的版式。那是一種科學(xué)永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法捕捉的充滿美感、歷史感和藝術(shù)感的微妙，我發(fā)現(xiàn)這太有意思了。
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.But ten years later,when we were designing the first Macintosh computer,it all came back to me.And we designed it all into the Mac.It was the first computer with beautiful typography.If I had never dropped in on that single course in college,the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.And since Windows just copied the Mac,its likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out,I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class,and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college.But it was very,very clear looking backwards ten years later.
當(dāng)時(shí)，我壓根兒沒想到這些知識(shí)會(huì)在我的生命中有什么實(shí)際運(yùn)用價(jià)值;但是10 年之后，當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)第一款Macintosh 電腦的時(shí)候，這些東西全派上了用場(chǎng)。我把它們?nèi)吭O(shè)計(jì)進(jìn)了Mac ，這是第一臺(tái)可以排出好看版式的電腦。如果當(dāng)時(shí)我大學(xué)里沒有旁聽這門課程的話，Mac 就不會(huì)提供各種字體和等間距字體。自從Windows系統(tǒng)抄襲了Mac 以后，(鼓掌大笑)所有的個(gè)人電腦都有了這些東西。如果我沒有退學(xué)，我就不會(huì)去書法班旁聽，而今天的個(gè)人電腦大概也就不會(huì)有出色的版式功能。當(dāng)然我在念大學(xué)的那會(huì)兒，不可能有先見之明，把那些生命中的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴都串起來(lái);但10 年之后再回頭看，生命的軌跡變得非常清楚。
Again,you cant connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something — your gut,destiny,life,karma,whatever.This approach has never let me down,and it has made all the difference in my life.
再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)一次，你不可能充滿預(yù)見地將生命的點(diǎn)滴串聯(lián)起來(lái);只有在你回頭看的時(shí)候，你才會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴之間的聯(lián)系。所以，你要堅(jiān)信，你現(xiàn)在所經(jīng)歷的將在你未來(lái)的生命中串聯(lián)起來(lái)。你不得不相信某些東西，你的直覺、命運(yùn)、生活、因緣際會(huì)…… 正是這種信仰讓我不會(huì)失去希望，它讓我的人生變得與眾不同。
My second story is about love and loss.
第二個(gè)故事 關(guān)于愛與失去
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life.Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20.We worked hard,and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier,and I had just turned 30.And then I got fired.How can you get fired from a company you started? Well,as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me,and for the first year or so things went well.But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out.When we did,our Board of Directors sided with him.So at 30 I was out.And very publicly out.What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone,and it was devastating.
被蘋果開掉是我這一生所經(jīng)歷過(guò)的最棒的事情。
我是幸運(yùn)的，在年輕的時(shí)候就知道了自己愛做什么。在我20 歲的時(shí)候，就和沃茲在我父母的車庫(kù)里開創(chuàng)了蘋果電腦公司。我們勤奮工作，只用了10 年的時(shí)間，蘋果電腦就從車庫(kù)里的兩個(gè)小伙子擴(kuò)展成擁有4000 名員工，價(jià)值達(dá)到20 億美元的企業(yè)。而在此之前的一年，我們剛推出了我們最好的產(chǎn)品Macintosh 電腦，當(dāng)時(shí)我剛過(guò)而立之年。然后，我就被炒了魷魚。一個(gè)人怎么可以被他所創(chuàng)立的公司解雇呢?(笑聲)這么說(shuō)吧，隨著蘋果的成長(zhǎng)，我們請(qǐng)了一個(gè)原本以為很能干的家伙和我一起管理這家公司，在頭一年左右，他干得還不錯(cuò)，但后來(lái)，我們對(duì)公司未來(lái)的前景出現(xiàn)了分歧，于是我們之間出現(xiàn)了矛盾。由于公司的董事會(huì)站在他那一邊，所以在我30 歲的時(shí)候，就被踢出了局。我失去了一直貫穿在我整個(gè)成年生活的重心，打擊是毀滅性的。
I really didnt know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure,and I even thought about running away from the valley.But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did.The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.I had been rejected,but I was still in love.And so I decided to start over.
在頭幾個(gè)月，我真不知道要做些什么。我覺得我讓企業(yè)界的前輩們失望了，我失去了傳到我手上的指揮棒。我遇到了戴維.帕卡德(普惠的創(chuàng)辦人之一)和鮑勃.諾伊斯(英特爾的創(chuàng)辦人之一)，我向他們道歉，因?yàn)槲野咽虑楦阍伊�。我成了人人皆知的失敗者，我甚至想過(guò)逃離硅谷。但曙光漸漸出現(xiàn)，我還是喜歡我做過(guò)的事情。在蘋果電腦發(fā)生的一切絲毫沒有改變我，一個(gè)比特都沒有。雖然被拋棄了，但我的熱忱不改。我決定重新開始。
I didnt see it then,but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again,less sure about everything.It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years,I started a company named NeXT,another company named Pixar,and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film,Toy Story,and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events,Apple bought NeXT,I returned to Apple,and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apples current renaissance.And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
我當(dāng)時(shí)沒有看出來(lái)，但事實(shí)證明，我被蘋果開掉是我這一生所經(jīng)歷過(guò)的最棒的`事情。成功的沉重被鳳凰涅槃的輕盈所代替，每件事情都不再那么確定，我以自由之軀進(jìn)入了我整個(gè)生命當(dāng)中最有創(chuàng)意的時(shí)期。
在接下來(lái)的5 年里，我開創(chuàng)了一家叫做NeXT 的公司，接著是一家名叫Pixar 的公司，并且結(jié)識(shí)了后來(lái)成為我妻子的曼妙女郎。Pixar 制作了世界上第一部全電腦動(dòng)畫電影《玩具總動(dòng)員》，現(xiàn)在這家公司是世界上最成功的動(dòng)畫制作公司之一。(掌聲)后來(lái)經(jīng)歷一系列的事件，蘋果買下了NeXT ，于是我又回到了蘋果，我們?cè)贜eXT 研發(fā)出的技術(shù)成為推動(dòng)蘋果復(fù)興的核心動(dòng)力。我和勞倫斯也擁有了美滿的家庭。
Im pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadnt been fired from Apple.It was awful tasting medicine,but I guess the patient needed it.
Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.Dont lose faith.Im convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.Youve got to find what you love.And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Your work is going to fill a large part of your life,and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you havent found it yet,keep looking.Dont settle.As with all matters of the heart,youll know when you find it.And,like any great relationship,it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep looking until you find it.Dont settle.
我非常肯定，如果沒有被蘋果炒掉，這一切都不可能在我身上發(fā)生。
生活有時(shí)候就像一塊板磚拍向你的腦袋，但不要喪失信心。熱愛我所從事的工作，是一直支持我不斷前進(jìn)的惟一理由。你得找出你的最愛，對(duì)工作如此，對(duì)愛人亦是如此。工作將占據(jù)你生命中相當(dāng)大的一部分，從事你認(rèn)為具有非凡意義的工作，方能給你帶來(lái)真正的滿足感。而從事一份偉大工作的惟一方法，就是去熱愛這份工作。如果你到現(xiàn)在還沒有找到這樣一份工作，那么就繼續(xù)找。不要安于現(xiàn)狀，當(dāng)萬(wàn)事了于心的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)知道何時(shí)能找到。如同任何偉大的浪漫關(guān)系一樣，偉大的工作只會(huì)在歲月的醞釀中越陳越香。所以，在你終有所獲之前，不要停下你尋覓的腳步。不要停下。
My third story is about death.
第三個(gè)故事 關(guān)于死亡
When I was 17,I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last,someday youll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me,and since then,for the past 33 years,I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row,I know I need to change something.
在17 歲的時(shí)候，我讀過(guò)一句格言，好像是：“ 如果你把每一天都當(dāng)成你生命里的最后一天，你將在某一天發(fā)現(xiàn)原來(lái)一切皆在掌握之中�！� (笑聲)這句話從我讀到之日起，就對(duì)我產(chǎn)生了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。在過(guò)去的33 年里，我每天早晨都對(duì)著鏡子問自己：“ 如果今天是我生命中的末日，我還愿意做我今天本來(lái)應(yīng)該做的事情嗎?” 當(dāng)一連好多天答案都否定的時(shí)候，我就知道做出改變的時(shí)候到了。
Remembering that Ill be dead soon is the most important tool Ive ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.Because almost everything — all external expectations,all pride,all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death,leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.
提醒自己行將入土是我在面臨人生中的重大抉擇時(shí)，最為重要的工具。
因?yàn)樗械氖虑椤饨绲钠谕�、所有的尊榮、對(duì)尷尬和失敗的懼怕——在面對(duì)死亡的時(shí)候，都將煙消云散，只留下真正重要的東西。在我所知道的各種方法中，提醒自己即將死去是避免掉入畏懼失去這個(gè)陷阱的最好辦法。人赤條條地來(lái)，赤條條地走，沒有理由不聽從你內(nèi)心的呼喚。
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning,and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didnt even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable,and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order,which is doctors code for prepare to die.It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought youd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months.It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.It means to say your goodbyes.
大約一年前，我被診斷出癌癥。在早晨7 ：30 我做了一個(gè)檢查，掃描結(jié)果清楚地顯示我的胰臟出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)腫瘤。我當(dāng)時(shí)甚至不知道胰臟究竟是什么。醫(yī)生告訴我，幾乎可以確定這是一種不治之癥，頂多還能活3至6個(gè)月。大夫建議我回家，把諸事安排妥當(dāng)，這是醫(yī)生對(duì)臨終病人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)用語(yǔ)。這意味著你得把你今后10 年要對(duì)你的子女說(shuō)的話用幾個(gè)月的時(shí)間說(shuō)完;這意味著你得把一切都安排妥當(dāng)，盡可能減少你的家人在你身后的負(fù)擔(dān);這意味著向眾人告別的時(shí)間到了。
I lived with that diagnosis all day.Later that evening I had a biopsy,where they stuck anendoscope down my throat,through my stomach and into my intestines,put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.I was sedated,but my wife,who was there,told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.I had the surgery and Im fine now.
我整天都想著診斷結(jié)果。那天晚上做了一個(gè)切片檢查，醫(yī)生把一個(gè)內(nèi)窺鏡從我的喉管伸進(jìn)去，穿過(guò)我的胃進(jìn)入腸道，將探針伸進(jìn)胰臟，從腫瘤上取出了幾個(gè)細(xì)胞。我打了鎮(zhèn)靜劑，但我的太太當(dāng)時(shí)在場(chǎng)，她后來(lái)告訴我說(shuō)，當(dāng)大夫們從顯微鏡下觀察了細(xì)胞組織之后，都哭了起來(lái)，因?yàn)槟鞘欠浅：币姷�，可以通過(guò)手術(shù)治療的胰臟癌。我接受了手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)康復(fù)了。
This was the closest Ive been to facing death,and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades.Having lived through it,I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven dont want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be,because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.It is Lifes change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you,but someday not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic,but it is quite true.
這是我最接近死亡的一次，我希望在隨后的幾十年里，都不要有比這一次更接近死亡的經(jīng)歷。在經(jīng)歷了這次與死神擦肩而過(guò)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)之后，死亡對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)只是一項(xiàng)有效的判斷工具，并且只是一個(gè)純粹的理性概念，我能夠更肯定地告訴你們以下事實(shí)：沒人想死;即使想去天堂的人，也是希望能活著進(jìn)去。(笑聲)死亡是我們每個(gè)人的人生終點(diǎn)站，沒人能夠成為例外。生命就是如此，因?yàn)樗劳龊芸赡苁巧詈玫脑煳�，它是生命更迭的媒介，送走耄耋老者，給新生代讓路�，F(xiàn)在你們還是新生代，但不久的將來(lái)你們也將逐漸老去，被送出人生的舞臺(tái)。很抱歉說(shuō)得這么富有戲劇性，但生命就是如此。
Your time is limited,so dont waste it living someone elses life.Dont be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important,have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.
你們的時(shí)間有限，所以不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在別人的生活里。不要被條條框框束縛，否則你就生活在他人思考的結(jié)果里。不要讓他人的觀點(diǎn)所發(fā)出的噪音淹沒你內(nèi)心的聲音。最為重要的是，要有遵從你的內(nèi)心和直覺的勇氣，它們可能已知道你其實(shí)想成為一個(gè)什么樣的人。其他事物都是次要的。
When I was young,there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog,which was one of the bibles of my generation.It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park,and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.This was in the late 1960s,before personal computers and desktop publishing,so it was all made with typewriters,scissors,and polaroid cameras.It was sort of like Google in paperback form,35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic,and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
在我年輕的時(shí)候，有一本非常棒的雜志叫《全球目錄》(The Whole Earth Catalog)，它被我們那一代人奉為圭臬。這本雜志的創(chuàng)辦人是一個(gè)叫斯圖爾特.布蘭德的家伙，他住在Menlo Park，距離這兒不遠(yuǎn)。他把這本雜志辦得充滿詩(shī)意。那是在60 年代末期，個(gè)人電腦、桌面發(fā)排系統(tǒng)還沒有出現(xiàn)，所以出版工具只有打字機(jī)、剪刀和寶麗來(lái)相機(jī)。這本雜志有點(diǎn)像印在紙上的Google ，但那是在Google 出現(xiàn)的35 年前;它充滿了理想色彩，內(nèi)容都是些非常好用的工具和了不起的見解。
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog,and then when it had run its course,they put out a final issue.It was the mid-1970s,and I was your age.On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road,the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.And I have always wished that for myself.And now,as you graduate to begin anew,I wish that for you.
圖爾特和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)做了幾期《全球目錄》，快無(wú)疾而終的時(shí)候，他們出版了最后一期。那是在70 年代中期，我當(dāng)時(shí)處在你們現(xiàn)在的年齡。在最后一期的封底有一張清晨鄉(xiāng)間公路的照片，如果你喜歡搭車冒險(xiǎn)旅行的話，經(jīng)常會(huì)碰到的那種小路。在照片下面有一排字：物有所不足，智有所不明(Stay Hungry ，Stay Foolish.求知若饑，虛心若愚)這是他們停刊的告別留言。物有所不足，智有所不明—— 我總是以此自省。現(xiàn)在，在你們畢業(yè)開始新生活的時(shí)候，我把這句話送給你們。
Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much
求知若饑，虛心若愚。
非常感謝!
喬布斯在斯坦福大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上的英文演講稿 2
Dear teachers,dear classmates:
Good afternoon,everyone!
It is a great honor to be here today to speak on behalf of the graduates.Actually,at the very beginning,I was told to do this speech.I would like to decline it.Why? Just like yesterdays comic dialogue,my schoolmate damaged me: "do you still have a senior student,do you learn well or grow well?" Im really sorry,its just as good as the two.As is known to all,my great national affairs are full of men and women who have high points and good looks,so I must be embarrassed to represent the style of state affairs.But I want to say,"Gou Lis life and death will be a blessing in mind." So finally resolutely accepted this glorious and arduous task.
One,recollection
I believe that for all of you here,these four years are the most important words in our life before.
The friendship accumulated over the past four years is our greatest asset.We accompany each other,learn together and grow together.Together with the course guidance,when choosing courses to check each other,resolutely avoid "river lake,lake and sea,flowers and grass,two phoenix one treasure",at noon do not eat also must choose a good class,"but and".We brush early forging,forging and forging,and go to gym class on the empty stomach at eight oclock in the morning,but many people still have "double harvest" of knowledge and weight.We ate three Bay and Wujiaochang together,but we found that Kang was the true love,played all the way to the University and the peoples road,but found the night talk in the bedroom was the best entertainment.
Four years of University,three schoolmates,we laugh together,cry together.When the class was just formed,we played happily together in class activities.When we were just in professional class,we struggled together in the classics.When we are sick,our roommates warm greetings and care give us strength.When we are brokenhearted,our friends are patiently listening and comforting to bring us sunshine.Later,we thought about the way out for graduation and worked together to experience the "nine night nine" life.Not long ago,we were together in the mire of our graduation thesis.When we met,we comforted each other and said,"have you finished your graduation thesis?" Then he smiled meaningfully and said,"I feel relieved."
Sometimes we are lazy,we may procrastinate,but we also have high spirited enthusiasm and aspirant.Many students have made excellent academic achievements,participated in academic topics,participated in academic conferences,as well as various competitions related to the major,and gained a lot of awards and honors.Students associations and associations often appear in our class.In the sophomore year,more than a dozen ministers of our class accounted for 1/4 of our class,the first group of students Association,and the five members of the campus.Our class accounted for two.We are the presidents of various student associations and journalists and editors of school journals.We do not relax professional learning,but the state of the state is the pursuit of comprehensive development,is to pay attention to the cultivation of leadership and influence,from their leadership in a community,a department,we see the future,they lead a unit,an enterprise,and even lead the countrys hope.
Two.Gratitude
Every aspect of our growth and progress is inseparable from the environment and opportunities provided by the State College,and we can not do without the guidance and assistance provided by our teachers.
Now we have to say goodbye to all this.The memories of the past really go through our minds like trains,and we will think of a lot of people and things to be thankful for.First of all,we would like to thank the instructor,Mr.Zhu Jia.When it was military training,Mr.Zhu,with a small national treasure,accompanied us with Yan Yanlie,and soaked our clothes with sweat,but the tears were soaked in our eyes.Thank you,Mr.Zhu.Thank you for your company and support.When you were sick with your students,you first appeared in the hospital.You took care of our time and left our little national treasure in the evening to join our branch activities.We feel sorry for the little national treasure because we have too much.It is you who use all resources to help us to sponsor,do a good job in graduation activities,and let us leave campus with full memories.Because of you,we have no regrets.Thank you,Mr.Zhu!
And miss Zhang Ji,who accompanied us all on holiday.Mr.Zhang has led us to a good foundation for our class work.These years have also been concerned with our study and life,and have provided us with a lot of guidance in the field of professional and language learning.We will remember the phrase "elite consciousness and public feelings".Thank you,Mr.Zhang!
The reason why we can make progress in knowledge and learning can not be separated from the professional teachers who teach us carefully,and you have led these ignorant young people into the palace of knowledge.In addition to giving us lessons in class,teachers can also open up their academic subjects,so that students can have more opportunities to learn and grow.At the time of our own social practice and research,teachers are sacrificing their precious holiday time,caring for our project process,and working together with us to overcome the difficulties in the research process.Many teachers teachings are deeply engraved in our hearts,guiding us to be human and learn.Thank you,teachers.We wont let you down.
We also want to thank all the teachers of the college Party committee,the general Party branch,the academic system and the educational department.They are all behind the scenes heroes.They give us a little bit of effort to facilitate our study and life.Thank you！
Three.
Many years later,you may have forgotten that the roommate had eaten your snack,forgot who snored in the class,and forgot the deadline to miss the assignment,but we wont forget the friendship here,teacher wont forget,the sweat,tears,and laughter here,we wont forget!
Graduation is a farewell to the injury and open,everyone is about to be different,but in the face of the unknown,we will not be afraid,because we are state affairs,here are our common home,the young dream has been rooted and sprouted here,each other company,we have all grown up!
We must work hard in the future,and hope that everyone will work hard and lead a positive and brilliant life.
Thank you all.

david brooks writes today that there are large class differences in parenting styles.these different parent styles may explain the continued success of the upper class.hey,this fits in very well into the parenting theme week at 11d.thanks,davey.(and thanks,jeremy,for the early morning e-mail.)
david picks up on the work of annette lareau who finds that although working class children are more innocent and enjoy more freedom,they havent been prepared for economic success as well as upper class kids.(i have copied the whole article below the flap.take that,times select)
the funny thing about academics is that although they are highly educated,they are poorly paid.they are socio-economic anomalies.they either reside as the poor shlubs in wealthy neighborhoods or as the weirdoes in working class towns.we’ve been the class outsiders for my whole life,and i’ve had the chance to observe both life styles closely.
there are huge differences between the parenting styles between the upper and working class families.poor families respond less quickly to learning problems and are less aggressive with the school bureaucracy.they are less likely to verbally interact with their kids.they are less involved in homework activities.middle and upper class parents are more likely to reward independent thinking.all those factors will definitely impact on their kids’ futures.
but i hope that brooks and his pet academic aren’t insinuating that parenting styles alone impact on a child’s economic success.way too many other factors there.poor families are also likely to live in towns with poorer schools.peers will be more troubled.the poor families will be coping with a variety of problems that make it hard to be good parents – financial stress,drug and alcohol problems,lack of health care,depression.and really smart kids can in many instances over come all that and succeed,though even the smart ones still face obstacles.i would love to know if the researchers controlled for all that.
these parenting differences also don’t negate our obligation to helping these groups reach their potential.
that said,i’m sure that parenting styles are one factor among many that determine a child’s socio-economic future.my kid is already on such a different path from some of his buddies from school.at six years old,their futures are already written on their faces.
what i would like to do is to take the best parts of both parenting practices.somehow combine the respect for adults,the freedom,and the innocence of working class homes with the value for education,the aggressive independence,and confidence of the upper class.it’s a tricky line to navigate,but that’s what i’m going for.

Dear leaders,teachers,dear students,Good morning,everyone!
I am Ma Haidong of the 2 class of martial arts science.It is a great honor to stand here,representing the 2011 graduates of the Institute of animal science and technology,to say goodbye to our alma mater,to teach our teachers tirelessly,to say goodbye to the classmates at sunset,and to say goodbye to this unforgettable time.First of all,let me,on behalf of all the graduates,express our heartfelt thanks and respect to all the leaders and teachers who have worked hard.
Four years,more than 1400 days and nights,it sounds so long,and when we face today,we feel that it is so short.Some people say that time is a book that is too hasty.Now when it hastily passes,these more than 1400 nights carry too many memories.I cant forget the freshness and confusion when I entered the school.I cant forget the figure of my learning building in the teaching building.I cant forget the laughter and laughter of your bedroom,and I cant forget you and me on the sports field.The scene of the scene is like a gorgeous clippings,a movie that is coming to the curtain,playing our happiness and sadness,recording our youth and past,and witnessing our profound feelings.Believe that the university days of acid,sweet,bitter,spicy to everyone left a precious memory; four years of learning to believe that the university will become an inexhaustible driving force for each of our future development; believe in sincerity,simplicity,courage and perseverance will be the wealth of our life.
Four years ago,we dreamed of dreams and hoped to meet the farmers.Four years later,we will go to everywhere to cherish our love for our alma mater and create our own brand new tomorrow.In the four years of western agriculture,we have experienced the age of the first year of innocence.We have gone through the light dance and flying of the sophomore.We witnessed the rapid development of alma mater and college,and also witnessed the continuous growth of ourselves.We learned to analyze and think,to learn to cooperate and to compete,to learn to inherit and to innovate,and to further learn how to surpass and break through their own limits.Now we are graduating.All these warm memories will be engraved on our hearts.It is the most memorable day of our lives.
Today is a happy day,an exciting day,and a thankful day.On this day,we finally put on the sacred bachelors clothing,and successfully ended our four years of college life.After this day,our university life will draw a full end.We will say goodbye to the students who get along with each other,say goodbye to the teacher,bid farewell to the beautiful picturesque campus,and step on a new journey.But we will never abandon the drip in the West Farm,never forget the teachers advice in the confusion and hesitation,never forget the sincere greetings of the students when they are sad and sad,because there are our most brilliant youth,because this beautiful youth is integrated into the selfless love and students of the teachers.Sincere feelings.
In the face of alma mater,I would like to say thank you,thank you for alma mater to provide us with learning environment,and build a solid platform for our growth and success.
Facing the college,I want to say thank you and thank the leadership of the college.The teachers care and education for us over the past four years is your hard work.Lets make constant efforts in the family of kinetic Sciences,which is a united and vigorous family.
Facing the teacher,I want to say thank you,thank you for the hard work of sweat,unselfish dedication,countless days and nights of ploughing,giving us a sober mind,a pair of eyes and a hearty soul,which is the truth that you have given us professional knowledge and taught us to be a man.
In the face of my classmates,I want to say thank you,thank you for your mutual care and support in the past four years.I think you will always cherish this feeling just like me.On the occasion of the parting,I would like to speak to the alma mater and the college on behalf of the graduates.We will not forget that we are a proud West farmer,and will not forget that he is a proud moving person.Students are about to travel.Please allow me to represent all 20** graduates.
I wish our leaders and teachers good health and good work.
I wish our fathers and mothers eternal youth and good luck.
I wish our Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University and our animal science and Technology Institute every success.
I wish our 20xx Annual graduates a bright future!
Thank you.

Good morning,dear faculty members,distinguished guests,families,friends and most importantly,today’s graduates.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak to you here on behalf of the graduates.This is a memorable day both in our personal lives and in the life of this school.
Four years ago,we entered Sanjing university.Some of us may have doubted that if we had made the right decision,but now,because of the friends we made ,because of the sadness and happiness we shared,because of the teachers who gave us guidance,because of all the time in Sanjiang we spent and all activities we participated in,we could not tear ourselves away from the dear campus.It’s difficult to contemplate that perhaps some of us may never see each other again.But we have so rich memeries and experiences that we will never foget each other.
Today we enter the real world to face the challenge .With the knowledge and friends we gained from our university,with the endurance,perseverance,industry we possess,every obstacle that we may encounter in our lives will be overcome.I believe that everyone will make every effort to strive for our life.And remember,an ideal job is not found lying in the street; it takes time and effort to find.But in the end,it will be there for you.So don’t settle for second best and keep looking.
Importantly,We are here today to give our thanks to the unconditional support of each of you,your words of encouragement in good times and your words of consolation in difficult moments.We thank you for your enormous patience with us,for always giving a little more than we asked for and for instilling in us the values and principles that govern our lives now and helping us to become the people we are.The degree that we will receive today also belongs to you.
Last,I would like to congratulate each of you for having reached this goal.We did it,and now we are ready to graduate!

Dean Ellis,honored guests,faculty,family,friends,and the Class of 2015,I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your generosity today.Thank you so much forinviting me to join you in celebrating your graduation! Three years ago,I could never havecomprehended such an opportunity.Thank you,thank you,thank you.
About three years ago today,I was right where you are.I was sitting in a folding chair,justlike that one,and I was wearing my cap and gown,waiting to walk on stage.But I wasntgraduating.When they shook my hand and took my picture,they handed me an empty folder.You see at Stanford,they let you "walk" through graduation even if you havent actually finishedthe requirements necessary to get your diploma.You get to pretend that you are graduatingjust like everyone else,even though you arent.The University had created this program forstudents who were using the summer term to finish up their degrees.I was using it because Iwas embarrassed,and I didnt want to be left out of the celebrations.What was I going to do?Stay in my dorm room while all of my friends processed into the stadium and tossed their capsinto the air without me? So I sat in the hot sun and I listened to Cory Booker talk for what feltlike quite a while,and I waved to my family who had traveled all the way to Stanford to watchme not to graduate.By the way,hi,Mom!
It only recently occurred to me,while preparing this address,how totally absurd this wholecharade was.It reminded me that oftentimes we do all sorts of silly things to avoid appearingdifferent.Conforming happens so naturally that we can forget how powerful it is – we want tobe accepted by our peers – we want to be a part of the group.Its in our biology.But the thingsthat make us human are those times we listen to the whispers of our soul and allow ourselves tobe pulled in another direction.Conformity is so fascinating and so pervasive that it has beenstudied for a very long time.See,it turns out there are two things that can dramatically reduceconformity in a group setting.The first is a single dissenting voice,and the second is theability to communicate privately with other members of the group.Our government gives usthe right to privacy and the right to express ourselves freely in the hope that we mightmitigate conformity.Democracy wasnt designed to promote popular thought.It wasarchitected to protect dissent.For,as President Kennedy said,"Conformity is the jailer offreedom and the enemy of growth."
I recently fell in love with a story about a great piece of American art.And its about a guynamed Bob Rauschenberg.He was a young artist,and he went to go visit his idol.You know,hereally loved this guy and he was totally terrified.He was so nervous that he was clutching abottle of Jack Daniels for liquid courage.And the truth is: he actually wasnt just visiting.Hewas visiting Bill de Kooning to ask for something.He wanted one of Bill de Koonings drawings.You see,Bill de Kooning,he was a dumb guy,he knew exactly what Rauschenberg was up to,because Rauschenberg had recently been experimenting with his own art.He had been creatingthese drawings and then erasing them.But that wasnt enough for Bob Rauschenberg,becauseBob Rauschenberg didnt want to just erase his own art,he wanted to erase the art of hishero.So de Kooning obliged but he took his time,and he tortured the young artist as hewandered around his studio in search of the perfect drawing.He didnt want to just give him arandom drawing.He wanted it to be something really great,something that he really loved.And he finally settled on a drawing that was very,very hard to erase.It was comprised oflayers of lead and charcoal.And he generously gave it to Bob Rauschenberg.According to Bob,it took nearly two months to erase the drawing.But it was Jasper Johns who came along andframed it and he gave that drawing a title,called "Erased de Kooning by Bob Rauschenberg." Itwas Jasper Johns who recognized that in the process of erasing de Koonings work,BobRauschenberg had actually created something new,his own new work of art.

we miss you─teachers who are tireless in teaching; we will keep your gestures and your white hairs in our hearts deeply; we will miss the quietness with the lights at night in the classroom; we will miss the race and exercise on the playground; we will miss even the crowds in the dining hall and the quarrel on the beds; we will still miss every green piece and every piece of waste paper flying like flakes in the air ...however,today we will leave nothing but the first rose with our alma mater and our teachers which is entrusted with our love and respect.
4 years seems very long but 4 years seems very short.from now on,we all will go into the society.the society is broad and wide for us.we will shoulder heavy responsibilities; we will work diligently; and we will expect to be informed of good news from one another.now,i beg you all to cherish the occasion; to remember the names,the status,appearance and the character of the person around you.now let’s be hand in hand together; let’s present the rose to each other.may the rose carry our appreciation and blessing! we are very closely linked no matter what the world may be.may the fresh rose in our hands keep its fragrants!
thank you all again!

Good afternoon.My remarks at this moment in our Commencement rituals are officially titled a “Report to the Alumni.” The first time I delivered them,in 2008,I was the only obstacle between all of you and J.K.Rowling.I looked out on a sea of eager children,costumed Dumbledores,and Quidditch brooms waving impatiently in the air.Today,you await Mark Zuckerberg,whose wizardry takes a different form,one that has changed the world,and although he doesn’t seem to have inspired an outbreak of hoodies,we certainly do have some costumes in this audience today.I see we are now handing out blankets.
This is a day of joy and celebration,of happy endings and new beginnings,of families and friends,of achievements and hopes.It is also a day when we as a university perform our most important annual ritual,affirming once again the purposes that animate us and the values that direct and inspire us.
I want to speak today about one of the most important and in recent months,most contested – of these values.It is one that has provoked debate,dissent,confrontation,and even violence on campuses across the country,and one that has attracted widespread public attention and criticism.
I am,of course,talking about issues of free speech on university campuses.The meaning and limits of free speech are questions deeply embedded in our legal system,in interpretations of the First Amendment and its applications.I am no constitutional lawyer,indeed no lawyer at all,and I do not intend in my brief remarks today to address complex legal doctrines.Nor,clearly,can I in a few brief minutes take on even a fraction of the arguments that have been advanced on this issue.Instead,I speak as one who has been a university president for a decade in order to raise three questions:
First: Why is free speech so important to and at universities?
Second: Why does it seem under special challenge right now?
And,third: How might we better address these challenges by moving beyond just defensively protecting free speech – which,of course,we must do – to actively and affirmatively enabling it and nurturing environments in which it can thrive?
So first: Why is free speech so important to and at universities? This is a question I took up with the newly arrived first-year students in the College when I welcomed them at Convocation last fall.For centuries,I told them,universities have been environments in which knowledge has been discovered,collected,studied,debated,expanded,changed,and advanced through the power of rational argument and exchange.We pursue truth unrelentingly,but we must never be so complacent as to believe we have unerringly attained it.Veritas is inspiration and aspiration.We assume there is always more to know and discover so we open ourselves to challenge and change.We must always be ready to be wrong,so being part of a university community requires courage and humility.Universities must be places open to the kind of debate that can change ideas and committed to standards of reason and evidence that form the bases for evaluating them.
Silencing ideas or basking in intellectual orthodoxy independent of facts and evidence impedes our access to new and better ideas,and it inhibits a full and considered rejection of bad ones.From at least the time of Galileo,we can see how repressing seemingly heretical ideas has blinded societies and nations to the enhanced knowledge and understanding on which progress depend.Far more recently,we can see here at Harvard how our inattentiveness to the power and appeal of conservative voices left much of our community astonished – blindsided by the outcome of last fall’s election.We must work to ensure that universities do not become bubbles isolated from the concerns and discourse of the society that surrounds them.
Universities must model a commitment to the notion that truth cannot simply be claimed,but must be established – established through reasoned argument,assessment,and even sometimes uncomfortable challenges that provide the foundation for truth.The legitimacy of universities’ claim to be sources and validators of fact depends on our willingness to actively and vigorously defend those facts.And we must remember that limiting some speech opens the dangerous possibility that the speech that is ultimately censored may be our own.If some words are to be treated as equivalent to physical violence and silenced or even prosecuted,who is to decide which words? Freedom of expression,as Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously said long ago,protects not only free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought we hate.We need to hear those hateful ideas so our society is fully equipped to oppose and defeat them.
Over the years,differences about the implementation of the University’s free speech principles have often provoked controversy.And we haven’t always gotten it right.As long ago as 1939,an invitation from a student group to the head of the American Communist Party generated protest and the invitation was ultimately canceled by the Corporation.Bertrand Russell’s appointment as William James Lecturer just a year later divided the Corporation,but President Conant broke the tie and Russell came.Campus conflicts over invited speakers are hardly new.
Yet the vehemence with which these issues have been debated in recent months,not just on campuses but in the broader public sphere,suggests there is something distinctive about this moment.Certainly,these controversies reflect a highly polarized political and social environment – perhaps the most divisive since the era of the Civil War.And in these already fractious circumstances,free speech debates have provided a fertile substrate into which anger and disagreement could be planted to nourish partisan outrage and generate media clickbait.But that is only a partial explanation.
Universities themselves have changed dramatically in recent years,reaching beyond their traditional,largely homogeneous populations to become more diverse than perhaps any other institution in which Americans find themselves living together.Once overwhelmingly white,male,Protestant,and upper class,Harvard College is now half female,majority minority,religiously pluralistic,with nearly 60 percent of students able to attend because of financial aid.Fifteen percent are the first in their families to go to college.Many of our students struggle to feel full members of this community – a community in which people like them have so recently arrived.They seek evidence and assurance that – to borrow the title of a powerful theatrical piece created by a group of our African-American students – evidence and assurance that they,too,are Harvard.
The price of our commitment to freedom of speech is paid disproportionately by these students.For them,free speech has not infrequently included enduring a questioning of their abilities,their humanity,their morality – their very legitimacy here.Our values and our theory of education rest on the assumption that members of our community will take the risk of speaking and will actively compete in our wild rumpus of argument and ideas.It requires them as well to be fearless in face of argument or challenge or even verbal insult.And it expects that fearlessness even when the challenge is directed to the very identity – race,religion,gender,ethnicity,sexual orientation,nationality – that may have made them uncertain about their right to be here in the first place.Demonstrating such fearlessness is hard; no one should be mocked as a snowflake for finding it so.
Hard,but important and attainable.Attainable,we believe,for every member of our community.But the price of free speech cannot be charged just to those most likely to become its target.We must support and empower the voices of all the members of our community and nurture the courage and humility that our commitment to unfettered debate demands from all of us.And that courage means not only resilience in face of challenge or attack,but strength to speak out against injustices directed at others as well.
Free speech doesn’t just happen and require intervention when it is impeded.It is not about the freedom to out-shout others while everyone has their fingers in their ears.For free speech to flourish,we must build an environment where everyone takes responsibility for the right not just to speak,but to hear and be heard,where everyone assumes the responsibility to treat others with dignity and respect.It requires not just speakers,but,in the words of James Ryan,dean of our Graduate School of Education,generous listeners.Amidst the current soul-searching about free speech,we need to devote more attention to establishing the conditions in which everyone’s speech is encouraged and taken seriously.
Ensuring freedom of speech is not just about allowing speech.It is about actively creating a community where everyone can contribute and flourish,a community where argument is relished,not feared.Freedom of speech is not just freedom from censorship; it is freedom to actively join the debate as a full participant.It is about creating a context in which genuine debate can happen.
Talk a lot,I urged the Class of 2020 last fall; listen more.Don’t stand safely on the sidelines; take the risk of being wrong.It is the best way to learn and grow.And build a culture of generous listening so that others may be emboldened to take risks,too.A community in a shared search for Veritas – that is the ideal for which Harvard must strive.We need it now more than ever.
Thank you.

the cynics say we care for nothing other than grades; and we neglect the need for character cultivation.but again,
the cynics are wrong.we care deeply for each other,we cherish freedom,we treasure justice,and we seek truth.last week,thousands of my fellow students had their blood type tested in order to make a contribution for the children who suffer from blood cancer.
as college students,we are adolescents at the critical turning point in our lives.we all face a fundamental choice: cynicism or faith,each will profoundly impact our future,or even the future of our country.i believe in all my fellow classmates.though we are still inexperienced and even a little bit childish.i believe that we have the courage and faith to meet any challenge and take on our responsibilities.we are preparing to assume new responsibilities and tasks,and to use the education we have received to make our world a better place.i believe in our future.

Thank you,Katie – and thank you to President Faust,the Fellows of Harvard College,the Boardof Overseers,and all the faculty,alumni,and students who have welcomed me back to campus.
I’m excited to be here,not only to address the distinguished graduates and alumni atHarvard University’s 363rd commencement but to stand in the exact spot where Oprah stoodlast year.OMG.
Let me begin with the most important order of business: Let’s have a big round of applause forthe Class of 2014! They’ve earned it!
As excited as the graduates are,they are probably even more exhausted after the past fewweeks.And parents: I’m not referring to their final exams.I’m talking about the SeniorOlympics,the Last Chance Dance,and the Booze Cruise – I mean,the moonlight cruise.
The entire year has been exciting on campus: Harvard beat Yale for the seventh straight timein football.The men’s basketball team went to the second round of the NCAA tournament forthe second straight year.And the Men’s Squash team won national championship.
Who’d a thunk it: Harvard,an athletic powerhouse! Pretty soon they’ll be asking whether youhave academics to go along with your athletic programs.
My personal connection to Harvard began in 1964,when I graduated from Johns HopkinsUniversity in Baltimore and matriculated here at the B-School.
You’re probably asking: How did I ever get into Harvard Business School,given my stellaracademic record,where I always made the top half of the class possible? I have no idea.Andthe only people more surprised than me were my professors.
Anyway,here I am again back in Cambridge.And I have noticed that a few things havechanged since I was a student here.Elsie’s – a sandwich spot I used to love near the Square is now a burrito shop.The Wursthaus – which had great beer and sausage – is now an artisanalgastro-pub,whatever the heck that is.And the old Holyoke Center is now named the SmithCampus Center.
Don’t you just hate it when alumni put their names all over everything? I was thinking aboutthat this morning as I walked into the Bloomberg Center on the Harvard Business Schoolcampus across the river.
But the good news is,Harvard remains what it was when I first arrived on campus 50 yearsago: America’s most prestigious university.And,like other great universities,it lies at theheart of the American experiment in democracy.
Their purpose is not only to advance knowledge,but to advance the ideals of our nation.Greatuniversities are places where people of all backgrounds,holding all beliefs,pursuing allquestions,can come to study and debate their ideas – freely and openly.
Today,I’d like to talk with you about how important it is for that freedom to exist for everyone,no matter how strongly we may disagree with another’s viewpoint.
Tolerance for other people’s ideas,and the freedom to express your own,are inseparable valuesat great universities.Joined together,they form a sacred trust that holds the basis of ourdemocratic society.
But that trust is perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs,mobs,andmajorities.And lately,we have seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often,both oncollege campuses and in our society.
That’s the bad news and unfortunately,I think both Harvard,and my own city of New York,have been witnesses to this trend.
