国外名校优秀毕业生演讲稿【4】I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.。

It is an immense honor and privilege to stand before you today as a graduate of Harvard University. The years I have spent here have been some of the most challenging and rewarding of my life. As I prepare to leave this magnificent institution, I want to share with you some thoughts that have shaped my journey and will continue to guide me inthe future.First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to the faculty, staff, and students of Harvard for the knowledge, wisdom, and experiences they have imparted upon me. This university has not only equipped me with the tools necessary to succeed academically, but it has also instilled in me the values that will serve as the foundation for my future endeavors.Harvard has taught me the importance of critical thinking. In every class, every discussion, and every debate, we were encouraged toquestion assumptions, challenge the status quo, and seek the truth. This mindset has become a part of my DNA, and I am confident that it will serve me well in the years to come.Harvard has also taught me the value of perseverance. The academic rigor and the competitive nature of this university have pushed me to mylimits and beyond. There were moments when I felt overwhelmed and wanted to give up, but I learned that true success comes from pushing through those moments and embracing the challenge.One of the most valuable lessons I have learned at Harvard is the importance of community. This university has brought together peoplefrom all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds. Through this diversity, we have learned to understand, respect, and appreciate one another. This experience has taught me that we are all connected, andthat our actions have the power to impact the lives of others.As I move forward, I want to take with me the lessons I have learned at Harvard and apply them to my life. I will strive to be a lifelong learner, always seeking to expand my knowledge and understanding of the world around me. I will embrace the challenges that come my way, knowing that they are opportunities for growth and self-improvement.I will also continue to value community and diversity. As I enter the workforce and begin to make my mark on the world, I will work to create an inclusive environment that allows everyone to thrive. I will strive to understand and appreciate the perspectives of others, and I will use my platform to advocate for those who are marginalized and underrepresented.Finally, I want to remind all of us that success is not measured by the accolades we receive or the achievements we attain. True success comes from the impact we have on the lives of others. As we leave Harvard and embark on our respective journeys, let us remember that our greatest legacy will be the positive change we create in the world.In conclusion, I want to thank Harvard for the incredible opportunities and experiences it has provided me. I am forever grateful for the knowledge, wisdom, and friendships I have gained here. As I leave this university, I am confident that I am ready to take on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.Thank you, Harvard. You have prepared me for life.。

优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇一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 athousand losers.“You’re upset. That’s understandable. After all, howcan 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, secondrichest 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 ropout, 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 ma ny ways what you’ve learned and endured will serveyou 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 th e word ‘therapy.’ All thatof is good. For in truth, you will need that network. Youwill 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 droppedout 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 ca p, and I’mnot 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 sli nk 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 y our 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.)优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇二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 f or your certificate. you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you towork 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?”毕业典礼英文演讲稿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 mayknow that every day he could do only an hour work, not much more than 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 read110,000 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. readingsmall-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!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇三Ladies and gentlemen, teachers, students:Good morning! Today, I stand here to say goodbye to our alma mater on behalf of all the first three graduates, tosay goodbye to the teachers in the third, to say goodbye to the students who get along with each other, and to say goodbye to the unforgettable years. Let us sincerely say to the teachers: Thank you, to the younger generation, the school girls say: hard!At this moment, I feel very excited, that is, the joy of graduation, but also can not hide unlimited memories and nostalgia. Three years of learning time, a flick of a stroke, but many memories will become the most precious collectionof our life: the luxuriant poplar, the wide playground, picturesque corridors, bright classrooms. We must remember the ambitions you and I set up when I entered the school. I must remember the figure of my diligent study and study in the classroom, the library and the laboratory. I must remember the joy of my heart when the teac her’s inculcation and exercises got a breakthrough, and I must remember that you were the dragon in the sports field. There are too manyscenes to live in. These three years of road, we walk hard and happy, three years of life, we have lived a full and beautiful, we flow through tears, but with laughter, wetread thorns, but smell the flowers.Three years of junior high school life, so that we from a ignorant child, to become a full of teens; never dare to leave the arms of their parents, not afraid of danger, brave to fight. In the past three years, more than 1050 days and nights, my alma mater has been arming me with knowledge. Now, we not only learned the language, mathematics, but also learned physics and chemistry, not only to write the writing, but also to know the molecules and the atoms and all kindsof knowledge. The most important point is to make me more clearly know how to love China, love socialism and safeguard world peace. This is the result of school education, whichis the crystallization of teachers’ efforts.On the occasion of this graduation, I am grateful to the beautiful alma mater, giving me the wisdom and strength of the knowledge, the power of wisdom and the truth of being a human being. Thank you for the teachings and selfless careof our beloved teachers, and your kindness to us is higher than the mountain, and it is deeper than the sea.Today’s graduation is not only a summing up of yesterday, but also a call for tomorrow. In the future we are going to go to high school to learn. They will also go to university for further education. They will carry guns to defend the border areas of the motherland. They will go up the mountain to look for mines. They will go to factories to completetheir work and go to work in vast fields. We will alsotravel to all parts of the world to New York, Paris and London. But wherever we are, no matter what we do, we will always have a heart to heart. Teachers, please believe that we will keep the fine traditions of the third middle school students in the new places, to fight, to struggle, to create, and never to live up to your trust!All of the students in the third class, although we have graduated, will continue to study and live here. I hope that you will work hard, unite and love, be civilized and obeythe discipline in the future, not only to be a qualified middle school student, but also to work hard to be a usefulman of the country.Finally, we sincerely wish our dear alma mater and beloved teachers: always beautiful! Always young! Happy forever!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇四Dear teachers, dear classmates:Hello everyone!It is green grass again. When the peach and plum are fragrant, it is another year when the gardenia flowers bloom. In the sunny spring, our hearts are drizzling with drizzle. Because we are going to say goodbye to our teachers who have accompanied us for three years, say goodbye to our classmates who have been together, and say goodbye to this unforgettable time. Let us sincerely say to the teachers: Thank you, to the younger generation, the school girls say: hard!Three years of learning time, a flick of a flick, but many memories will become the most precious collection of our life: straight poplar, wide playground, picturesque corridor, bright classroom. You must remember your ambition and ambition when you entered the school. You must remember thefigure of my diligent learning in the classroom and the laboratory. You must remember the joy of my heart when the teacher’s inculcation and the problem of breaking the problem. I must remember that in the sports field, you have a lot of exercise. Many scenes are worth remembering. These three years of road, we walk hard and happy, three years of life, we have lived a full and beautiful, we flow through tears, but with laughter, we tread thorns, but smell the flowers.In the past three years, more than 1050 days and nights, our alma mater has been arming us with knowledge. Now, under the guidance of teacher Chen, we have learned how to write beautiful articles and how to understand the changes of the four seasons in the text. In the guidance of the teacher, we learned how to think about the problem with the mathematical mind and solve the questions with the knowledge of mathematics. “A, B, C, D” are our first acquaintance. The first lesson in English, and “Artislong, butlifeisshort” is one of the new philosophy of life we have learned from the teacher of the class teacher. We learned about themystery of material composition around us, and learned how to build a strong body in life under the guidance of sports teacher Ma and Qiu. In the history of history Qi teacher’s humorous classroom, we crossed the course of the world’s development. Under the teachings of the political king, we understand China’s policy and know how to be hu man. The rigorous and meticulous working attitude of Mr. Xia has brought us quiet and meticulous health cleaning, and the quiet classroom and self study classroom.The teacher is an eternal song. We are the notes that you release. No matter which song we import, we beat her rhythm. Alma mater is a warm harbor. We are a small boat sailing out of her arms. No matter where we dock, there is a light in her eyes.Your alma mater asks you to believe that after graduation, we will still remember the pledge we had just entered school.Today, I am proud of Kim Ming!Tomorrow, Jin Ming is proud of me!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇五New York: 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, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.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?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 wanthim?” 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.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 couldn’t 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 didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasn’t all romantic. I didn’t have a dorm room, so Islept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ 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 didn’t 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 can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing thefirst 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, it’s 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.Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have totrust 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.My second story is about love and loss.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.I really didn’t 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 thevalley. 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 stillin love. And so I decided to start over.I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that gettingfired 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 inthe 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 Apple’s current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.I’m pretty sure none of this would have happened if Ihadn’t been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits youin the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I’m convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is astrue 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 haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll 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. Don’t settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it was your last, somedayyou’ll most certainly be right.” It m ade 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 werethe 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. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment orfailure - 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.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 didn’t 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 doctor’s codefor prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kidseverything you thought you’d have the next 10 ye ars 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.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope 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 I’m fine now.This was the closest I’ve been to facing death, and I hope it’s the closest I get for a few more dec ades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purelyintellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is t hedestination 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 Life’s 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.Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the r esults of other people’s thinking. Don’t 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.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 hi s poetic touch. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was allmade 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.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.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.。

一位美国华盛顿大学学生的毕业演讲稿三篇

一位美国华盛顿大学学生的毕业演讲稿Student Speech Delivered at the Washington University Engineering Graduate Student Recognition Ceremony15 May 1997Lorrie Faith CranorFaculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away fromthe women's restroom. The window was my office's best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on mmy dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the ClAsS. And he told me not to giveup, he told me I could succeed in his ClAsS. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the ClAsS slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and President's Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any ClAsSes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else I go.I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch. I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating ClAsS of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Here's how it goes:My uncle ordered popoversmust spit out the air!"And . . .as you partake of the world's bill of fare,that's darned good advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you.学生毕业庆典演讲稿每年这时候,我们校园里都纠缠着留恋:睡在你上铺或下铺的兄弟同学,暗恋了数年的某个同学,“文泉”或“文澜”,“必逃的选修课和选逃的必修课”,对了,还有严老师,以及那已成为你青春之象征的钟塔。

优秀英文版毕业演讲稿五篇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 yearsfrom 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 theaudacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of oneof the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest manon the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not."Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college ropout, 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. Solet 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 established good work habits.You've established a network of people that will help youdown 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 bynow 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, soI'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 youdown 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.)优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇二you all are leaving your alma mater now. i have no giftto 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 foryour certificate. you had no choice but to take them. fromnow 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 backto 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, studieswill 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, tomake a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can westudy further?"毕业典礼英文演讲稿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 more than 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 ahalf 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!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇三Ladies and gentlemen, teachers, students:Good morning! Today, I stand here to say goodbye to our alma mater on behalf of all the first three graduates, to say goodbye to the teachers in the third, to say goodbye to the students who get along with each other, and to say goodbye to the unforgettable years. Let us sincerely say to the teachers:Thank you, to the younger generation, the school girls say:hard!At this moment, I feel very excited, that is, the joy of graduation, but also can not hide unlimited memories and nostalgia. Three years of learning time, a flick of a stroke, but many memories will become the most precious collection of our life: the luxuriant poplar, the wide playground, picturesque corridors, bright classrooms. We must rememberthe ambitions you and I set up when I entered the school. I must remember the figure of my diligent study and study inthe classroom, the library and the laboratory. I must remember the joy of my heart when the teacher's inculcation and exercises got a breakthrough, and I must remember thatyou were the dragon in the sports field. There are too many scenes to live in. These three years of road, we walk hardand happy, three years of life, we have lived a full and beautiful, we flow through tears, but with laughter, we tread thorns, but smell the flowers.Three years of junior high school life, so that we from a ignorant child, to become a full of teens; never dare toleave the arms of their parents, not afraid of danger, braveto fight. In the past three years, more than 1050 days and nights, my alma mater has been arming me with knowledge. Now, we not only learned the language, mathematics, but alsolearned physics and chemistry, not only to write the writing,but also to know the molecules and the atoms and all kinds of knowledge. The most important point is to make me moreclearly know how to love China, love socialism and safeguard world peace. This is the result of school education, which is the crystallization of teachers' efforts.On the occasion of this graduation, I am grateful to the beautiful alma mater, giving me the wisdom and strength of the knowledge, the power of wisdom and the truth of being a human being. Thank you for the teachings and selfless care of our beloved teachers, and your kindness to us is higher than the mountain, and it is deeper than the sea.Today's graduation is not only a summing up of yesterday, but also a call for tomorrow. In the future we are going to go to high school to learn. They will also go to university for further education. They will carry guns to defend the border areas of the motherland. They will go up the mountain to look for mines. They will go to factories to completetheir work and go to work in vast fields. We will also travel to all parts of the world to New York, Paris and London. But wherever we are, no matter what we do, we will always have a heart to heart. Teachers, please believe that we will keep the fine traditions of the third middle school students in the new places, to fight, to struggle, to create, and never to live up to your trust!All of the students in the third class, although we have graduated, will continue to study and live here. I hope that you will work hard, unite and love, be civilized and obey the discipline in the future, not only to be a qualified middleschool student, but also to work hard to be a useful man ofthe country.Finally, we sincerely wish our dear alma mater andbeloved teachers: always beautiful! Always young! Happy forever!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇四Dear teachers, dear classmates:Hello everyone!It is green grass again. When the peach and plum are fragrant, it is another year when the gardenia flowers bloom. In the sunny spring, our hearts are drizzling with drizzle. Because we are going to say goodbye to our teachers who have accompanied us for three years, say goodbye to our classmates who have been together, and say goodbye to this unforgettable time. Let us sincerely say to the teachers: Thank you, tothe younger generation, the school girls say: hard!Three years of learning time, a flick of a flick, butmany memories will become the most precious collection of our life: straight poplar, wide playground, picturesque corridor, bright classroom. You must remember your ambition andambition when you entered the school. You must remember the figure of my diligent learning in the classroom and the laboratory. You must remember the joy of my heart when the teacher's inculcation and the problem of breaking the problem.I must remember that in the sports field, you have a lot of exercise. Many scenes are worth remembering. These threeyears of road, we walk hard and happy, three years of life,we have lived a full and beautiful, we flow through tears,but with laughter, we tread thorns, but smell the flowers.In the past three years, more than 1050 days and nights, our alma mater has been arming us with knowledge. Now, under the guidance of teacher Chen, we have learned how to write beautiful articles and how to understand the changes of the four seasons in the text. In the guidance of the teacher, we learned how to think about the problem with the mathematical mind and solve the questions with the knowledge of mathematics. "A, B, C, D" are our first acquaintance. Thefirst lesson in English, and "Artislong, butlifeisshort" is one of the new philosophy of life we have learned from the teacher of the class teacher. We learned about the mystery of material composition around us, and learned how to build a strong body in life under the guidance of sports teacher Ma and Qiu. In the history of history Qi teacher's humorous classroom, we crossed the course of the world's development. Under the teachings of the political king, we understandChina's policy and know how to be human. The rigorous and meticulous working attitude of Mr. Xia has brought us quiet and meticulous health cleaning, and the quiet classroom and self study classroom.The teacher is an eternal song. We are the notes that you release. No matter which song we import, we beat her rhythm. Alma mater is a warm harbor. We are a small boat sailing outof her arms. No matter where we dock, there is a light in her eyes.Your alma mater asks you to believe that after graduation, we will still remember the pledge we had just entered school.Today, I am proud of Kim Ming!Tomorrow, Jin Ming is proud of me!优秀英文版毕业演讲稿篇五New York: 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, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today Iwant to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. Nobig deal. Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months,but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months orso before I really quit. So why did I drop out?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 forme to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Exceptthat when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on awaiting 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 fatherhad 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.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 couldn't 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 didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ 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 didn't 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, artisticallysubtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.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, it's 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.Again, you can't 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.My second story is about love and loss.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. Andthen 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 thefirst year or so things went well. But then our visions ofthe future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. Soat 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been thefocus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't 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. Butsomething 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 Idecided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that gettingfired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful wasreplaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, lesssure 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 tocreate the worlds first computer animated feature film, ToyStory, 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 Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene andI have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if Ihadn't 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. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced thatthe only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true foryour work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going tofill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And theonly way to do great work is to love what you do. If youhaven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll 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. Don'tsettle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in themirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were thelast 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.Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've 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 - thesethings 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.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had ascan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumoron my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancerthat 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 doctor's code for prepareto die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned upso that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope 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 becauseit turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancerthat is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's 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 purelyintellectual concept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. Andthat is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's 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.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't 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.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 1960's, 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 camealong: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.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 theirfarewell 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.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.。

国外名校优秀毕业生演讲稿.doc

国外名校优秀毕业生演讲稿Faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and alwaystoo far away from the women's restroom. The window was my office's best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of theroof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perchfor various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice viewof the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing howfascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it.

Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation mittee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just toohard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the class. And he told me not to give up, he told me I could sueed in his class. For reasons that seemed pletely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me.

毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿1Dear professors and dear friends of China Jiliang University, I’m honored to address you on behalf of all the graduations this year.I would like to thank my parents, classmates, and friends who helped us ,and encouraged and supported us as we worked towards to our graduate degrees.I also want to thank Jiliang’s faculty members who served as our instructors,mentor, and friends, relatives, like Prof.Yu, Prof.Gao, Mrs. Liang. Through their commitments, they have inspired us to achieve and guided us to our dream.On this stage, at my graduation ceremony, when I look back my four years at Jiliang, my mind is filled with memories. May be you will ask me: do you have special to share? Yes, I want to share few simple but critical suggestions with you and with for the coming juniors:First, be work hard and think smart.Secondly, believe things happened for a reason.Thirdly, just as Jobs said at the graduation ceremony in Stanford University, stay hungry, stay foolish.Today, we will graduate from China Jiliang University, but we will be with Jiliang forever. Let us think forward and work together to make the new history of China Jiliang University.Thank you.毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿2Unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. They can think themselves into other people’s minds, imagine themselves into other people’s places.Of course, this is a power, like my brand of fictional magic, that is morally neutral. One might use such an ability to manipulate, or control, just as much as to understand or sympathise.And many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. They choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. They can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know.I might be tempted to envy people who can live that way, except that I do not think they have any fewer nightmares than I do. Choosing to live in narrow spaces can lead to a form of mental agoraphobia, and that brings its own terrors. I think the wilfully unimaginative see more monsters. They are often more afraid.What is more, those who choose not to empathize may enable real monsters. For without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.One of the many things I learned at the end of that Classics corridor down which I ventured at the age of 18, in search of something I could not then define, was this, written by the Greekauthor Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.That is an astonishing statement and yet proven a thousand times every day of our lives. It expresses, in part, our inescapable connection with the outside world, the fact that we touch other people’s lives simply by existing.But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities. Even your nationality sets you apart. The great majority of you belong to the world’s only remaining superpower. The way you vote, the way you live, the way you protest, the pressure you bring to bear on your government, has an impact way beyond your borders. That is your privilege, and your burden.If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my children’s godparents, the people to whom I’ve been able to turn in times of trouble, friends who have been kind enough notto sue me when I’ve used their names for Death Eaters. At our graduation we were bound by enormous affection, by our shared experience of a time that could never come again, and, of course, by the knowledge that we held certain photographic evidence that would be exceptionally valuable if any of us ran for Prime Minister.So today, I can wish you nothing better than similar friendships. And tomorrow, I hope that even if you remember not a single word of mine, you remember those of Seneca, another of those old Romans I met when I fled down the Classics corridor, in retreat from career ladders, in search of ancient wisdom:毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿3You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “Michael, Im just calling to congratulate you on the success of Batman. I always said you were a visionary.” You see the poin t here —dont believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, dont believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yourself and youll do just fine. And, oh yes, dont then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. Its the only way to achieve your goals in life.毕业典礼上的英文演讲稿4Sheryl Sandberg told a graduating class of TsinghuaUniversity that great leaders want genuine enthusiasm, something she said her late husband, Dave Goldberg, always had.雪莉·桑德伯格鼓励清华大学毕业学子说,伟大的领袖需要“真正的激情”,而这一点她和她已故先生戴夫·哥德伯格(Dave Goldberg)一直怀有。

国外名校毕业生英语演讲稿精选范文篇一:国外名校毕业生演讲稿Faculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretariesand other engineering school staff members who always seemedto be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington Universityfaculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.I take with me the memory of my office on the fourthfloor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallwaythat was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and alwaystoo far away from the women's restroom. The window was myoffice's best feature. Were it not for the physics buildingacross the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on my dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the variousbirds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, bothlost brave battles with cancer.

Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches.
