刘强东在哈佛大学演讲全文

刘强东在哈佛大学演讲全文刘强东,京东集团CEO,以下是刘强东在哈佛大学演讲全文,在演讲中,他自述他做京东的励志故事,也说了他创业阶段要解决两个问题,第一个是找到女朋友,第二个则是做O2O 项目京东到家,还在演讲中号召海归们回国工作创业。

下面是这篇刘强东在哈佛大学演讲全文刘强东在哈佛大学演讲全文女士们、先生们:本来我想用苏北英语给大家做演讲,结果张总(张磊,高瓴资本CEO)一上来说了中文,弄的我很不好意思,所以我还是用苏北话演讲。

昨天晚上我问了一个哥大的朋友,我说我特别想知道大家今天想听什么,他说其实非常想听创业。

我知道最近创业非常火,我想今天在座的很多同学都有创业的冲动或者打算。

如果你让我说创业,我想说,创业要想取得成功,关键就一句话:只要你能够解决一个问题,那么你的项目就一定会成功。

我就从我大学的一个故事讲起。

1992年,我考上了人大。

人大的经济学系、金融系都是很好的专业,工作特别好找,而我上的是社会学系,结果发现社会学系最难的一件事情就是找工作。

当时,宿舍里面的老大喜欢英语系的女孩子,喜欢了整整一年,天天晚上和她一起上晚自习,终于有一天晚上把那个女孩子约到了人大东门的小花园,我们五个人在宿舍里面非常激动地等着好消息。

我们宿舍老大回来了,说失败了,为什么?他说那女孩子说了,你们是社会学系的,社会学系的连工作都找不到,我怎么跟你谈恋爱啊?所以我要解决第一个问题,想找个女朋友。

虽然我的专业不大好找工作,但是经过简单的调查研究,我发现女孩子喜欢男生带有神秘感,所以我想了半天,什么最神秘呢?突然我发现在1993年的时候,在中国最神秘的就是电脑,所以我决定我要自己去学电脑,学编程,给我们系老师编了一个名片管理系统。

因为作为人大的教授,出席各种会议名片非常多,找名片很难,通过我这个程序在名片管理系统里甚至只输一个字就可以搜到,他们觉得这个真好。

因此,在大二下学期结束的时候,我终于有了自己的女朋友。

解决一个问题,你就可以取得成功。

尊敬的哈佛大学校长、各位教授、亲爱的同学们:大家好!今天,我非常荣幸能够站在这里,与在座的各位分享我的心得和感悟。

哈佛,这个世界上顶尖的学府,是无数青年才俊梦想的起点,也是我人生中的一个重要转折点。

在这里,我想与大家分享一个主题:勇往直前,成就非凡。

首先,我想谈谈梦想的力量。

每个人都有自己的梦想,而梦想是我们前进的动力。

哈佛大学的校训是“让知识成为自由”,这句话激励了无数学子,也让我深受启发。

我的梦想是成为一名优秀的科学家,为人类的进步贡献自己的力量。

在追求梦想的道路上,我遇到了许多困难和挑战,但正是这些挑战让我变得更加坚强。

我记得在我上高中的时候,有一次我参加了一场全国性的科学竞赛。

那是我第一次参加这样的比赛,内心充满了紧张和不安。

在准备过程中,我遇到了很多难题,有时候甚至想要放弃。

但每当我想到我的梦想,想到那些为了科学事业奋斗的前辈们,我就重新振作起来。

最终,我成功地获得了竞赛的奖项,这不仅是对我能力的肯定,更是对我坚持梦想的鼓励。

接下来,我想谈谈坚持的重要性。

在实现梦想的过程中,坚持是至关重要的。

坚持意味着面对困难和挫折时不放弃,意味着在漫长的道路上不断前行。

哈佛大学的校友中,有很多杰出的人物,他们之所以能够取得成功,正是因为他们始终坚持自己的梦想。

以我国著名科学家钱学森为例,他在美国留学期间,面临着种种困难和压力,但他始终坚定地追求科学事业。

最终,他克服了重重困难,回到祖国,为我国的航天事业做出了巨大贡献。

钱学森的故事告诉我们,只有坚持,才能成就非凡。

那么,如何在面对困难时保持坚持呢?我认为,首先要树立正确的价值观。

我们要明确自己的人生目标,为之努力奋斗。

其次,要学会调整心态。

面对挫折,我们要保持乐观,相信自己有能力战胜困难。

最后,要不断充实自己。

只有不断学习,才能提高自己的能力,更好地应对挑战。

接下来,我想谈谈团队合作的重要性。

在哈佛大学,我们不仅需要个人的努力,更需要团队合作。

团队合作可以让我们发挥各自的优势,共同克服困难,实现更大的目标。

也许精彩就在平实之间。

Thank you.I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and 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 six 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 graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should beadopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birthby 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've got an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college andthat 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 go to college. This was the start in my life.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 spenton 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 okay. It was pretty scaryat 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 far more 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 five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven 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 the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer withbeautiful 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 that calligraphyclass, 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 10 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 -- because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky -- I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz1 and I started Apple in myparents' 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 two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. We'd just released our finest creation -- the Macintosh -- a year earlier, and Ihad 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 Directorssided with him. And 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 hadlet 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 upso 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 turnof 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.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired fromApple 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 namedPixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animatedfeature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, and I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at theheart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful familytogether.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't beenfired from Apple. Itwas awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometime life -- Sometimes life going to hit 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 for your work as it is for your lovers. Yourwork 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 -- and 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 -- 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 itwas your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me,and since then, for the past 33 years, I've 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.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 -- 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 code for "prepare to die." It means to try and 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 up sothat 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 stuckan endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, whowas 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, thankfully, 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 purely intellectual concept: No one wants todie.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. And that is as it should be,because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's 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's 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 outyour own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to followyour 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 late60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort oflike Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along. It was idealistic, overflowingwith 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 theirfinal 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 messageas they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I've alwayswished 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.译文如下:今天,很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。

哈佛大学的励志故事

哈佛大学的励志故事

哈佛大学的励志故事哈佛是无数学子的梦想之地,在这里有很多励志的故事值得我们去了解。

以下是小编为大家精心推荐的哈佛大学的经典励志故事,希望你会喜欢。

哈佛大学的励志故事篇一:哈佛讲给新生的励志故事文/蒋光宇多年以来,哈佛大学的教授经常给新入校的学生讲下面的小故事:奥斯勒是一位加拿大医生,他为了从忙碌的工作中挤出时间读书,规定自己在每晚睡觉之前必须读15分钟的书,不管忙到多晚,一概雷打不动。

他天天读书,坚持了半个世纪,共读了8000多万字、1000多本书。

他对人类最大的贡献,就是成功地研究了第三种血细胞。

格劳福特·格林瓦特是世界上最大的化学公司——杜邦公司的总裁。

他每天挤出一小时来研究世界上最小的鸟——蜂鸟,并用专门的设备给蜂鸟拍照。

权威人士把他撰写的关于蜂鸟的书,称为自然历史丛书中的杰作。

科尔是美国的一位数学家。

20世纪初,在数学界有这样一道难题,那就是2的76次方减1的结果是不是人们所猜想的质数。

很多科学家都在努力地攻克这一数学难关,但均未如愿。

后来,在纽约数学学会的年会上,科尔通过令人信服的运算,成功地证明了这道难题。

有人问他:“您论证这个课题一共花了多少时间?”他回答:“三年内的全部星期天。

”多年以来,哈佛大学的教授经常给新生讲上面的小故事,以此来解释校图书馆墙上的一句名言:“谁也不能随随便便地成功,它来自严格的自我管理和毅力。

”哈佛大学的励志故事篇二:哈佛大学励志姐传奇故事这位美国版励志姐名叫“道恩·落金斯(Dawn Loggins)”,居无定所,家境贫寒放在美国的语境下,便是生活在贫民区,父母都是瘾君子。

在洛金斯的童年记忆中,烟雾弥漫的房间总是乱七八糟,就算她将房间整理好,用不了多久又会恢复到一片狼藉。

她记不得父母从什么时候开始吸毒,只记得因为家里没有自来水,她和年幼的兄弟要走到公厕提水;她记不得有没有得到过父母的关爱,只记得同样因为没水,几个月不能洗澡的尴尬;她记不得父母除了吸毒还做过什么,只记得在昏暗的光线下啃完一本本课本……还有别人对她的帮助,老师同学帮助过她解决用水问题和看书问题,虽然只是送给她一些蜡烛和学校更衣室洗澡等小事,不过对于洛金斯来说,这一切已经是天大的恩赐了。

谷爱凌哈佛大学演讲稿

谷爱凌哈佛大学演讲稿

今天,我站在这里,非常荣幸能够在这里与大家分享我的经历和感悟。

我是一名来自中国的年轻运动员,也是一名即将步入哈佛大学校园的新生。

我名叫谷爱凌,是一名自由式滑雪运动员,同时也是一名热爱学习和追求梦想的人。

首先,我要感谢哈佛大学给予我这次演讲的机会。

哈佛,这个充满智慧与魅力的地方,一直是我心中的圣地。

在这里,我看到了无数优秀人才的成长,他们的故事激励着我不断前行。

今天,我希望通过我的分享,能够给大家带来一些启示,让我们共同探讨如何在追求梦想的道路上勇往直前。

我想从三个方面来谈谈我的经历和感悟:梦想的力量、努力的价值和坚持的意义。

一、梦想的力量每个人都有自己的梦想,它像一盏明灯,照亮我们前行的道路。

我的梦想是成为一名优秀的自由式滑雪运动员,代表中国参加奥运会,为祖国争光。

这个梦想从小就扎根在我的心中,让我在人生的道路上始终保持着坚定的信念。

记得小时候,我看到电视上那些滑雪运动员在雪场上飞驰,心中充满了羡慕和向往。

于是,我决定要成为一名滑雪运动员。

然而,这个梦想并不容易实现。

我需要付出比别人更多的努力,去克服各种困难和挑战。

在追求梦想的过程中,我遇到了很多挫折。

有时,我会因为训练受伤而痛苦不已;有时,我会因为比赛失利而沮丧失望。

但是,每当我想起那个最初的梦想,我就会重新振作起来,告诉自己:“我不能放弃,我要坚持!”正是这种信念,让我在滑雪的道路上越走越远。

二、努力的价值努力是通往梦想的桥梁。

在我的成长过程中,我深刻体会到了努力的价值。

努力不仅仅是一种态度,更是一种行动,一种对梦想的执着追求。

为了实现我的梦想,我付出了大量的时间和精力。

每天早晨,我都会提前起床,进行长时间的训练;周末,我会放弃休息,参加各种比赛和活动。

在这个过程中,我学会了如何合理安排时间,如何克服困难,如何调整心态。

我相信,努力一定会有回报。

在我的努力下,我取得了不错的成绩。

我曾获得过全国自由式滑雪锦标赛冠军,也曾多次代表中国参加国际比赛。

你们用你们的脑力、意志力以及勤奋,艰苦卓绝地攀登了这座高峰。

你们现在可以肆无忌惮地享受这份胜利的喜悦——对此,我向你们表示敬意!但是,我认为我们并不应该停留在这份胜利的背后。

我们应该更加深入地思考这个世界将会如何发展。

我们的每个人都必须意识到,我们正处于一种新的历史时刻——这个世界正发生着前所未有的变化。

这个世界变得越来越复杂,高度互联的、全球化的、多元化的,充满挑战性和不确定性。

无论你们是今天的毕业生还是即将成为成功人士的人,你们都需要适应这个时代的变化,否则,你们将不会在未来的成功之路上领先,而只是步履蹒跚地跟随。

未来的成功之路上,你们需要尤其关注几个方面:第一,你们需要坚定你们的核心价值观。

你们必须有勇气、有智慧,勇于追求真正的价值——这样的价值需要超越金钱和权力。

你们需要保护你们的灵魂和你们心中的信仰,保持对自己和他人的尊重和善意。

第二,你们需要投资你们的人际关系。

你们需要建立良好的人际关系——这些关系需要他人的信任和支持,以及一致的期望和愿景。

在这个网络化的时代,建立人际关系将会变得越来越重要。

第三,你们需要拥抱这个世界的多元化。

我们的世界正在越来越多元化——所以,我们需要更加包容和谅解。

你们需要了解和能够尊重不同的文化背景和观点,同时能够接纳所不同之处。

最后,我希望你们在未来的成功之路上,保持自己的信念与价值,建立良好的人际关系,以及拥抱多元化的世界。

只有这样,你们才能在未来的成功之路上更加一路平顺。

谢谢!哈佛演讲稿二:制止激进思想,建立理性社会尊敬的哈佛大学领导、教授、以及在场的各位:我们的社会近年来正经历着一场激进思想的崛起——这种思想可能是全球化的精英主义,可能是民族主义,可能是极右翼主义,或者是其他形式的极端主义。

这种激进思想可以是暴力和仇恨的源泉,它破坏了人们的信任,扭曲了事实,使人们无法在一起努力解决问题。

"there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction."oprah winfrey, talk show host and media entrepreneur, addresses graduates at harvard's 362nd commencement on may 30, XX.oh my goodness! i'm at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephaniewilson, harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend dr. henry lewis gates.all of you alumni with a special bow to the class of '88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.and to you, members of the harvard class of XX! hello!i thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the commencement of your next chapter. to say that i'm honored doesn't even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really accompanies an honorary doctorate from harvard. not too many little girls from rural mississippi have made it all the way here to cambridge. and i can tell you that i consider today as i sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, i consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey. my one hope today is that i can be a source of some inspiration. i'm going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad.actually i was so honored i wanted to do somethingreally special for you. i wanted to be able to have you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but i see you got that covered already. i will be honest with you. i felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that i could share with you that you hadn't heard before because after all you all went to harvard, i did not. but then i realized that you don't have to necessarily go to harvard to have a driven obsessive type a personality. but it helps. and while i may not have graduated from here i admit that my personality is about as harvard as they come. you know my television career began unexpectedly. as you heard this morning i was in the miss fire prevention contest. that was when i was 16 years old in nashville, tennessee and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that i entered. so they were doing the question and answer period because i knew i wasn't going to win under the swimsuit competition. so during the question and answer period the question came "why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?" and by the time they got to me all the good answers weregone. so i had seen barbara walters on the today show that morning so i answered "i would like to be a journalist. i would like to tell other people's stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world." and as those words were coming out of my mouth i went whoa! this is pretty good! i would like to be a journalist. i want to make a difference. well i was on television by the time i was 19 years old. and in 1986 i launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first. i was nervous about the competition and then i became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as i knew. sound familiar to anybody here? eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years.the oprah winfrey show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and i have to tell you i became pretty comfortable with that level of success. but a few years ago i decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground. so i ended the show and launched own, the oprah winfrey network. the initials just worked out for me.so one year later after launching own nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it. i can still remember the day i opened up usa today and read the headline "oprah, not quite standing on her own."i mean really, usa today? now that's the nice newspaper! it really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life. i was stressed and i was frustrated and quite frankly i was actually i was embarrassed. it was right around that time that president faust called and asked me to speak here and i thought you want me to speak to harvard graduates? what could i possibly say to harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when i had stopped succeeding? so i got off the phone with president faust and i went to the shower. it was either that or a bag of oreos. so i chose the shower. and i was in the shower a long time and as i was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me. you may not know it. it's "by and by, when the morning comes." and i started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time i thought i was stuckin a hole. and the words came to me "trouble don't last always" from that hymn, "this too shall pass." and i thought as i got out of the shower i am going to turn this thing around and i will be better for it. and when i do, i'm going to go to harvard and i'm going to speak the truth of it! so i'm here today to tell you i have turned that network around!and it was all because i wanted to do it by the time i got to speak to you all so thank you so much. you don't know what motivation you were for me, thank you. i'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned even as graduates of harvard unless you studied the ancient greek hero with professor nagy. professor nagy as we were coming in this morning said "please ms. winfrey, walk decisively."i shall walk decisively. this is what i want to share. it doesn't matter how far you might rise. at some point you are bound to stumble because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar. if you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the myth of icarus predicts that you will at some point fall. and when you do i want youto know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. now when you're down there in the hole, it looks like failure. so this past year i had to spoon feed those words to myself. and when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes, it's really okay to feel bad for a little while. give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here's the key, learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. and then figure out what is the next right move. and the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional that can tell you which way to go. because now and forever more when you google yourself your search results will read "harvard, XX". and in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because i can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when i see "harvard" i sit up a little straighter and say "where is he or she? bring them in." it's an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, ,scientist, physicist, winners of nobel and pulitzer prizes or late night talk show host. but the challenge of life i have found is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be but it's a story about who you want to be. it's a resume that doesn't just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why. a story that's not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that's really about your purpose. because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole that is the story that will get you out. what is your true calling? what is your dharma? what is your purpose? for me that discovery came in 1994 when i interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need. she raised a thousand dollars all by herself and i thought well if that little 9 year old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that i wonder what i could do? so i asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month just from pennies and nickels and dimes we raised more than three million dollars that we used to send one student from every state in the united states to college. that wasthe beginning of the angel network.and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers "do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life. give me your time or your talent your money if you have it." and they did. extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can. and together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes rita and katrina. so the angel network i have been on the air for a long time, but it was the angel network that actually focused my internal it helped me to decide that i wasn't going to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, my interviews, my business, my philanthropy all of it, whatever ventures i might pursue would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me. because what had become clear to me and i want you to know it isn't always clear in the beginning because as i said i had been on television since i was 19 years old. but around '94 i got really clear. so don't expect the clarity to come all at once to know your purpose right away, but whatbecame clear to me was that i was here on earth to use television and not be used by it; to use television to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels. so this angel network, it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped, but the lives of those who also did the helping. it reminded us that no matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe it is both possible and more importantly it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort. i saw something on the bill moore show recently that so reminded me of this point. it was an interview with david and francine wheeler. they lost their 7 year old son, ben in the sandy hook tragedy. and even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks had just been voted down in congress at the time that they were doing this interview they talked about how they refused to be discouraged. francine said this, she said "our hearts are broken but our spirits are not. i'm going to tell them what it's like to find a conversation about change that is love, and i'm going to do that without fighting them." and then her husband david added this, "you simply cannot demonize or vilifysomeone who doesn't agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do that any longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light." in our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the second amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children. they don't have to be incompatible.and we understand that most americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it's possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the statue of liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to ourshores. we can do both.and we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really what are you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you don't. maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of XX, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simply want to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change. each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school. you now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the lifeof our country. when you do that let me tell you what i know for sure. that's when your story gets really good. maya angelou always says "when you learn, teach. when you get, give. that my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning." so you all have the power in your own way to develop your own angel network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.i did it in an analog world. i was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day. now here in a world of twitter and facebook and youtube and tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. you're the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in XX. and when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you'd be too disappointed, you'd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in XX election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. that's who you are.this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar for can you say "" atharvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate.i know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic- an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy. i have to say that the single most important lesson i learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. most of us i tell you we don't want to be divided. what we want, the common denominator that i found in every single interview, is we want to be validated. we want to be understood. i have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question "was that okay?" i heard it from president bush, i heard it from president obama. i've heard it from heroes and from housewives. i've heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes. i even heard it from beyonce and all of her beyonceness. she finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says "was that okay?" friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchangei will tell you they all want to know one thing: was that okay? did you hear me? do you see me? did what i say mean anything to you? and even though this is a college where facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.that you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation. "there has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light," says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary friday in december. so whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is i know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i firststarted because i had barbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbara and then one night i was on the news reading the news and i called canada can-a-da, and that was the end of me being barbara. i cracked myself up on tv. couldn't stop laughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be a much better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara.i know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those harvard credentials to the test. but no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being. you want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you. theologian howard thurman said it best. he said "don't ask yourself what the world needs. ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who have comealive." the world needs-people like michael stolzenberg from fort lauderdale. when michael was just 8 years old michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet. and in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever. but in losing who he once was michael discovered who he wanted to be. he refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again. he joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the boston marathon bombing would become new amputees michael decided to banish that darkness with light. michael and his brother harris created to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees. by the time harris runs the XX boston marathon. more than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this boston community the way their community came together to support michael. and when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this "first they willbe sad. they're losing something they will never get back and that's scary. i was scared. but they'll be okay. they just don't know that yet." we might not always know it. we might not always see it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but i have faith that no matter what class of XX you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay. i have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change. i have faith because of david and francine wheeler, i have faith because of michael and harris stolzenberg and i have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today. one of them kadija williams who came to harvard four years ago. kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, wal-mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn't smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the harvard class of XX.from time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path but i know this,if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still small voice that is the within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay. you will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world. congratulations class of XX, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening. was that okay?相关推荐:珍藏记忆,给力未来—尚钢书记在毕业典礼上的讲话在高三毕业典礼上的致辞在国培通用技术毕业典礼上的发言在幼儿园大班毕业典礼上的园长致词警院老师毕业典礼上的发言在初三毕业典礼上的发言校长在中学XX届学生毕业典礼上的讲话学员代表在党校毕业典礼上的发言父亲在幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言在儿子幼儿园毕业典礼上的发言稿在毕业典礼上的发言比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿毕业生毕业典礼上的讲话在党校毕业典礼上的发言:在党性锻炼中升华人生价值青春万岁_在毕业典礼上的致辞。

哈佛大学凌晨4点半的景象
(不努力哪里来的成功)
任何人每一次的成功背后都有不为人知的付出和汗水
校园里,不见华服,不见化妆,更不见晃里晃荡,只有匆匆的脚步,坚实地写下人生的篇章.
哈佛不是神话,哈佛只是一个证明,人的意志,精神,抱负,理想的证明。

哈佛学生学的太苦了,但是他们明显也是乐在其中。

他们对所学领域的强烈兴趣。

还有就是哈佛学生心中燃烧的要在未来承担重要责任的使命感。

从这些学生身上,你能感到他们生命的能量在这里被激发了出来。

每堂课都需要提前做大量的准备,课前准备充分了,上课时才能在课堂上和别人交流,贡献您的个人思想,才能和大家一起学习,否则,你是无法融入到课堂的教学中的,当每个学生都投入了时间认真准备了,才可以快速推进课堂讨论的进程,而之前如果不读那么多的书,你就无法参加到课堂讨论之中。

所有的精英教育全都必须是吃苦的。

到了哈佛,你才知道真正的精英并不是天才,都是要付出更多努力的人。

在哈佛,征服学习是每个人的口号。

要想变得强大就需要学习得更多,练就长时间超负荷学习的毅力。

哈佛的学生说,在哈佛学习强度大,睡眠很少,有在炼狱的感觉,对
意志是一个很大的挑战。

但是如果挺过去,以后再大的困难也就能够克服了
10.学习时的痛苦是暂时的,未学到的痛苦是终生的
1哈佛学生或是哈佛教授,首先不是一份荣誉,而是一种证明。

人到底可以有怎样的意志力,人到底可能有怎样的发挥潜力?
1哈佛广为流传的一句格言是“忙完秋收忙秋种,学习,学习,再学习。


1 有的人会这样说“我只是在业余时间打盹而已,业余时间干吗把自己弄得那么紧张?”爱因斯坦就曾提出“人的差异在于业余时间。

”哈佛任教的说,只要知道一个青年怎样度过他的业余时间,就能预言出这个青年的前程怎样。

哈佛图书馆的二十条训言
此刻打盹,你将做梦;而此刻学习,你将圆梦。

我荒废的今日,正是昨日殒身之人祈求的明日。

觉得为时已晚的时候,恰恰是最早的时候。

勿将今日之事拖到明日。

学习时的苦痛是暂时的,未学到的痛苦是终生的。

学习这件事,不是缺乏时间,而是缺乏努力。

幸福或许不排名次,但成功必排名次。

学习并不是人生的全部。

但既然连人生的一部分―――学习也无法征服,还能做什么呢?
请享受无法回避的痛苦。

10.只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力,才能尝到成功的滋味。

1谁也不能随随便便成功,它来自彻底的自我管理和毅力。

1时间在流逝。

1现在流的口水,将成为明天的眼泪。

1狗一样地学,绅士一样地玩。

1今天不走,明天要跑。

1投资未来的人,是忠于现实的人。

1受教育程度代表收入。

1一天过完,不会再来。

1即使现在,对手也不停地翻动书页。

20.没有艰辛,便无所获。
