史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿
史蒂夫·乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿我当时没有觉察，但后来发现，被苹果公司解雇可能是我这辈子发生的最好的事情。
一个成功者的包袱没有了，有的只是一个初出茅庐者的轻松感觉，我对各种事情也不再那么胸有成竹。
这让我轻装上阵，进入了我生命中最有创造力的阶段之一。
今天，我很荣幸能来到贵校这所世界顶尖大学，参加你们的毕业典礼。
我没有念完大学。
老实说，今天是我一生中最接近大学毕业的日子。
今天我想告诉你们我生活中的三个故事，仅此而已。
不是什么大不了的事情，只是三个故事。
第一个故事是关于串连起生活的点滴我在里德大学读了六个月之后就退学了，但之后我又像在校生一样读了十八个月左右才彻底退学。
那么，我为什么要退学呢？这要从我出生前讲起。
我母亲生我的时候还是一个年轻、未婚的在校研究生，所以她决定让别人收养我。
她十分希望收养者是大学毕业生，并办妥了一切，我出生后就会由一位律师和他的妻子收养。
意外的是，我出生后，那对夫妻突然变卦，说他们其实想要一个女孩。
于是，当时还在等待名单上的我的养父母在半夜接到了一个电话，问他们说：“我们这儿有一个未婚出生的男婴，你们想要他吗？”他们回答：“当然要。
”但是，随后我的生母发现，我的养母从来没有上过大学，我的养父甚至连高中都没读完。
她拒绝签订收养合同。
几个月以后，我的养父母承诺一定会让我上大学，她才让步。
十七年之后，我真的上了大学。
但是，我很幼稚地选择了一所学费几乎和你们斯坦福一样贵的学校。
我父母是工薪阶层，他们倾尽积蓄，支付了我的学费。
过了六个月，我却看不到这笔钱的价值。
我不知道我想要做什么，也不知道大学会怎样帮我找到答案，而我却在浪费着我父母一辈子的积蓄。
所以我决定退学，并坚信这是个正确的决定。
我当时非常害怕，但是现在回头看，那是我一生中最棒的决定之一。
一退学，我就可以不去读那些我不感兴趣的必修课，并开始上那些看起来很有意思的课程。
我给你们举个例子：当时，里德大学的书法课也许是全国最好的。
世界十大最著名毕业典礼上的演讲：丘吉尔等
世界十大最著名毕业典礼上的演讲：丘吉尔等世界十大最著名毕业典礼上的演讲：丘吉尔等 2009年05月22日 16:12 沪江英语Winston Churchill, Harrow School, 1941Words of Wisdom:"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense."No leader in history, perhaps, matched Churchill's capacity for blurring the lines between speech and battle cry. This is one of his best. It's an urban legend that the "Never give in" exhortation comprised the totality of his address; Churchill went on for several more paragraphs. But there's no question that this, far and away, was what Harrow's students remembered。
Winston Churchill，英国前首相。
George Marshall, Harvard, 1947Words of Wisdom:"It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist."Marshall's address at Harvard was pretty dry stuff, but give the guy a break. Instead of following the conventional blueprint for a commencement speech — a poignant metaphor here, some poetic turns of phrase there, wrapped up in a neat life lesson —Marshall did nothing less than outline the plan to rebuild postwar Europe and curb the spread of communism that would eventually bear his name. Since this speech was step one toward saving a continent, Marshall gets a pass for failing to meet today's quota for snappy one-liners。

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of AppleComputer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of thefinest 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 totell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just threestories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayedaround as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why didI drop out?It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwedcollege graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She feltvery strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything wasall set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that whenI popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. Somy parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the nightasking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Ofcourse." My biological mother later found out thatmy mother had never graduatedfrom college and that my father had never graduated from high school. Sherefused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months laterwhen 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 thatwas 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 seethe value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea howcollege was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of themoney my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trustthat it would all work out OK. It was pretty scaryat the time, but looking backit was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I couldstop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping inon the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floorin 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 meala week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled intoby following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Letme give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instructionin 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 totake the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how todo this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amountof space between different letter combinations, about what makes greattypography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a waythat science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. Butten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it allcame back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computerwith beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course incollege, the Mac would have never had multipletypefaces or proportionallyspaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personalcomputer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never droppedin on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have thewonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect thedots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear lookingbackwards ten years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connectthem looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connectin 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 thedifference 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 startedApple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Applehad grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company withover 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 getfired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who Ithought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year orso things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge andeventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided withhim. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of myentire 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 theprevious generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as itwas being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried toapologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I eventhought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawnon me —I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changedthat one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided tostart over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple wasthe best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of beingsuccessful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sureabout everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of mylife.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another companynamed 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, ToyStory, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In aremarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and thetechnology 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 I hadn't been firedfrom 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'mconvinced 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 as true for your work as it is foryour lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the onlyway to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the onlyway to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keeplooking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when youfind it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as theyears 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 eachday as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made animpression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in themirror 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 hasbeen "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 everencountered 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 trulyimportant. Remembering that you are going to die isthe best way I know to avoidthe trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There isno reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in themorning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didn't even know what apancreas 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 sixmonths. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which isdoctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everythingyou thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. Itmeans to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy aspossible 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 myintestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. Iwas sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cellsunder a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a veryrare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgeryand I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closestI get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to youwith a bit more certainty than when death was a usefulbut purely intellectualconcept:No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to dieto get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has everescaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the singlebest invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to makeway 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'tbe trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people'sthinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own innervoice. And most important, have the courage to followyour heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.。

外国名人毕业演讲篇一：大学生必看的5个国外名人毕业典礼演讲节选大学生必看的5个国外名人毕业典礼演讲节选XX-10-19 11:40 来源：帮考网综合报道大学生必看的5个国外名人毕业典礼演讲1. 乔布斯（Steve Jobs）在斯坦福毕业典礼的演讲——Stay hungry. Stay foolish.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 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.当我十七岁的时候，我读到了一句话：“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话，那么有一天你会发现你是正确的。
”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。
从那时开始，过了33 年，我在每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢？”当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候，我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。
2. 杰夫·贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）在普林斯顿毕业典礼的演讲——We are our choices.I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.我认为我不会为失败地尝试而遗憾，但是有所决定但完全不去付诸行动则可能会一直煎熬着我。
Will inertia be your guide， or will you follow your passions？你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情？Will you follow dogma， or will you be original？你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新？Will you choose a life of ease， or a life of service and adventure？你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生？Will you wilt under criticism， or will you follow your convictions？你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念？Will you bluff it out when you’re wrong， or will you apologize？你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉？Will you guard your heart against rejection， or will you act when you fall in love？你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前？Will you play it safe， or will you be a little bit swashbuckling？你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪？When it’s tough， will you give up， or will you be relentless？你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行？Will you be a cynic， or will you be a builder？你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者？Will you be clever at the expense of others， or will you be kind？你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良？3. JK罗琳在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲——As is a tale， so is life： not how long it is， but how goodit is， is what mattersGiven a time machine or a Time Turner， I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications， your CV， are not your life， though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult， and complicated， and beyond anyone’s total control， and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.如果能回到过去，她会告诉21岁的自己：一个人的幸福在于他懂得——生活不等于你的收获和成就。
你的简历，你的证书并不代表你的生活，尽管很多人会混淆着两者。
生活是如此的复杂，任何人都无法掌控它。
明白了这一点，你就能够宠辱不惊。
4. 奥普拉（Oprah）在斯坦福XX年毕业典礼上的演讲——Feelings， failure and finding happiness.As B. B. King put it，“The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.”And learning is really in the broadest sense what I want to talk about today， because your education， of course，isn’t ending here. In many ways， it’s only just begun.The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world， this Earth， to be like a school and our life the classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as full-blown crises. And the secret I’ve learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons， lessons from the grandest university of all， that is， the universe itself.正如B. B. King所说：“关于学习的美好在于别人不会把知识从你身上拿走”。
学习正是我今天想说的，因为你们的教育并没有在这里结束。
在很多情况下，这才是刚刚开使。
这个世界将会教会你们很多。
我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一个学校和我们人生的教室。
有时这些课程会是弯路和障碍。
有时会充满危机。
我所学的应付这一切的秘密就是去勇于面对，正如我们面对大学课程一样。
Now I want to talk a little bit about failings，because nobody’s journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. If things go wrong， you hit a dead end—as you will—it’s just life’s way of saying time to change course. So， ask every failure—this is what I do with every failure， every crisis，every difficult time—I say， what is this here to teach me？ And as soon as you get the lesson， you get to move on. If you really get the lesson， you pass and you don’t have to repeat the class. If you don’t get the lesson，it shows up wearing another pair of pants—or skirt —to give you some remedial work.现在我想谈谈失败。
没有人他的一生是一帆风顺的。
我们都会遇到困难，受到挫折。
如果事情出错了，你进入了死胡同，这正是生活在告诉你是时候改变了。
所以，每当遇到困难和危机时，我都会问它教会了我什么？只要你吸取了教训，你就会继续前进。
如果你真正吸取了教训，你就会顺利通过考验，不用再取经受失败了。
如果你没有吸取教训，它会以另外一种形式给出现在你面前并给你一些补救。
5、Ellen DeGeneres在纽奥良大学的毕业典礼——You’re going to be OKSo In conclusion， when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up， I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world，drive nice cars， I want to have groupies. To quote thePussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was “boobies”， by the way？ It’s not， it’s “groupies”。
