哈佛大学演讲稿
Professor Lawrence H. Summers
President of Harvard University
Address to Peking University on May 14, 2002 [Vice] President Min, President Xu, thank you for all of those kind words, thank you for the hospitality that you have shown me, thank you for the hospitality that you have shown the visiting delegation from Harvard University.
I believe we have gathered, these few days in Beijing, the largest delegation of faculty from Harvard University that has ever come to China. That is, I believe, a reflection of the importance of China to the world of the Twenty-First Century. It is a reflection of our common endeavor: the pursuit of knowledge, and the teaching of students. I am very excited to be here at one of China's great universities, [at] one of the world's great universities, and I am especially glad to have the chance to talk to so many of your students about the world that they are going to inherit.
You know, if you think about what we do in universities, if you think about the phenomenon of globalization, I believe that our special role today and the phenomenon of globalization are manifestations of a yet deeper transformation that is going on throughout the world. And that is this: knowledge is becoming more central to every aspect of human activity than it ever has before. Think about some examples. I am
convinced that when the history of this period is written, two centuries from now, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War will be the second story that is written in those history books. The first story that will be written about the last fifth of the Twentieth Century will be the rise of societies where over a billion people- closer to two billion people- live, to modernity; will be the doubling of standards of living that take place within a decade, and then take place within a decade again, for, literally, billions of people. That is an event that, in the history of the second millennium, I believe, has potential to rank with the Renaissance and with the Industrial Revolution.
And what is at it center? China is at its center, with the dramatic transformation that China has seen over the last two centuries. And knowledge, the spread and dissemination of knowledge, is at its center as well, because no country in Europe, no country in North America, has ever grown nearly as rapidly in a decade as China has grown in the last decade, and in the decade before [that].
That is a reflection of the enormous opportunities that modern technology provides for convergence. It is a reflection of knowledge. Think about something else: we are alive in the one period in human history when science has the potential to understand disease processes. When science has the potential, during the period in which the people in this room will be alive, to understand, at the level of individual molecules,
what it is that goes wrong and causes human beings to suffer and to die, and to find that understanding in ways that can be made operational, to bring about remedies. We have the potential to see more progress against disease in the period in which we are alive than in any other period in human history.
And what is that about? That is about the growth of knowledge as well. And we know some things about the growth of knowledge, and about the process of research, and the process of knowledge finding applications that are not obvious at all. We know some things about the role of serendipity; we know some things about the role of organizations.
Let me make one general observation about knowledge, and that is, that you can never tell where the most useful knowledge is going to come from. You cannot predict where it is going to come from; you cannot direct programs to find the most useful forms of knowledge.
Let me give you two very, very different kinds of examples. Perhaps the most abstract subject we teach in the university, in certain respects, is mathematics. Perhaps the least applied area of mathematics is number theory, the study of numbers. Every one of you who has sent an e-mail has benefited from discoveries in number theory [made] within the last twenty-five years, because research on prime numbers form the basis for encryption algorithms, which form the basis of every aspect of electronic communication and electronic exchange today. That, from the most。
哈佛大学开学典礼演讲稿「中英文」
哈佛大学开学典礼演讲稿「中英文」哈佛大学开学典礼演讲稿「中英文」每当新生到校的时候，我常常会提起，哈佛是个多么多元化的大学，它可能是学生所生活过的最多元化的集体之一。
下面是店铺为大家分享的哈佛大学开学典礼演讲稿，欢迎参考!【中文版】今天是新一学年的开始。
欢迎各位来到哈佛。
大家都是来自不同国家和地区，成长背景与生活环境也各有不同。
在此，我想重申哈佛的办学理念和目标。
每当新生到校的时候，我常常会提起，哈佛是个多么多元化的大学，它可能是学生所生活过的最多元化的集体之一。
来自不同种族、民族、国家的人们汇聚于此，他们政治观念可能各不相同，性别观与身份认同也各有差异。
我们认为，这种不同是哈佛教育中不可分割的一部分。
不管你是大学新生，还是满怀抱负的研究生，还是教职员工，都能从哈佛的这种教育中受益。
今年，哈佛的录取政策遭到了质疑，这更是对我们根本原则，对哈佛多元化的努力提出的挑战。
在这一学年内，我们会积极应对质疑，向其他的声音证明多元化的重要之处。
然而哈佛的努力还不止于此。
我们不仅要为哈佛所招收的优秀学子提供多元化的环境，更要让每个人都有一种归属感。
“我就是哈佛的代表，就是哈佛的一部分”，我希望每个学子都可以感受到这一点。
光有多样性还不够，归属感、包容性也很重要。
要做到这一点，哈佛要做的还有很多。
我们知道，我们生活的这个社会充斥着不平等、不公正，这些无形之中对每个人的生活都产生了影响，对于哈佛也是一样。
因此，当我们规划未来、迎接挑战之际，建立一个真正包容的集体非常重要，这项任务也十分艰巨。
刚刚入学的新生中，有很多人对于周围同学的文化、国家并不了解，你们彼此对对方也各有期待。
因此，大家可能会担心，如果尝试着和不同的`人交流，能否得到理解，还是会被忽视、无视?如何让哈佛成为一个相互学习相互了解的集体，而非冷漠忽视?如何消除隐性歧视并从中吸取教训?如何能消除一些歧视性或者针对性的语言?如何才能让大家以治学般的严谨态度探询、理解人与人的差异?这个暑假，我和JimRyan院长谈及了这些情况，他表示，我们应该努力成为“包容的倾听者”。

娜塔莉哈佛大学演讲稿
大家好！今天，我非常荣幸能够站在这里，与大家分享我的经历和思考。
首先，请允许我向哈佛大学表示最诚挚的感谢，感谢你们给我这个机会，让我在这里发表演讲。
我叫娜塔莉，来自中国。
我出生于一个普通的家庭，从小在父母的关爱和熏陶下长大。
在我心中，哈佛大学一直是梦寐以求的地方，因为它不仅是一所世界级的学府，更是一个充满智慧、包容与创新的殿堂。
回想起我的成长历程，我深知教育的重要性。
在我国，教育被视为立国之本，而哈佛大学作为全球顶尖的教育机构，更是无数人心中的圣地。
今天，我站在这里，不仅要向哈佛大学表达敬意，更要向在座的每一位同学传递一种信念：无论出身如何，只要有梦想，有毅力，就一定能够实现自己的人生价值。
在我很小的时候，父母就告诉我：“知识改变命运。
”这句话深深地刻在了我的心中。
在我国，教育资源相对匮乏，很多孩子因为家庭条件限制，无法享受到优质的教育。
然而，他们并没有放弃，而是通过自己的努力，走出了一条属于自己的道路。
这种精神让我深受感动，也让我更加坚定了追求知识的信念。
在求学过程中，我经历了许多挫折和困难。
记得有一次，我在参加一个国际比赛时，因为准备不足，成绩并不理想。
当时，我感到非常失落，甚至开始怀疑自己的能力。
然而，我的导师告诉我：“失败并不可怕，可怕的是失去勇气。
”这句话让我重新振作起来，我开始反思自己的不足，并努力提高自己。
在我国，有很多像我一样的年轻人，他们怀揣着梦想，勇敢地追求着知识。
然而，在这个过程中，他们面临着种种困境。
一方面，教育资源分配不均，导致很多孩子无法享受到优质的教育；另一方面，社会竞争激烈，使得他们承受着巨大的压力。
在这种情况下，我们需要共同努力，为这些年轻人创造一个更加公平、宽松的成长环境。
哈佛大学一直以来都秉承着“教育为公”的理念，致力于培养具有全球视野和社会责任感的人才。
在这里，我看到了无数优秀学子为梦想拼搏的身影，感受到了知识的力量。
今天，我想借此机会，向在座的每一位同学分享我的几点感悟：首先，树立远大理想。
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。
《哈利波特》作者：罗琳在哈佛大学的演讲_演讲稿范文_
《哈利波特》作者：罗琳在哈佛大学的演讲立波特作家罗琳在哈佛大学的演讲：失败的额外收益与想象力的重要性浮士德主席，哈佛公司和监察委员会的各位成员，大学的员工，自豪的父母，以及所有的毕业生们：首先我想说的是“谢谢你们”。
这不仅因为哈佛给了我非比寻常的荣誉，而且为了这几个礼拜以来，由于想到这次毕业典礼演说而产生的恐惧与恶心让我减肥成功。
这真是一个双赢的局面！现在我需要做的就是一次深呼吸，眯着眼看着红色的横幅，然后欺骗自己，让自己相信正在参加世界上受到最好教育群体的哈立波特大会。
做毕业典礼演说是一个重大的责任，我的思绪回到了自己的那次毕业典礼。
那天的演讲者是一位英国的杰出哲学家Baroness Marry Warnock. 对她演讲的回忆对我写这篇帮助巨大，因为我发现她说的话我居然一个字都没有记住。
这个发现让我释然，使我得以继续写完演讲稿，我不用再担心，那种想成为"gay wizard"（harry porter中的魔法大师）的眩晕的愉悦，可能会误导你们放弃在商业、法律、政治领域的大好前途。
你们看，如果你们在若干年后能记住“gay wizard”这个笑话，我就比Barkoness Mary Warnock有进步了。
所以，设定一个可以实现的目标是个人进步的第一步。
实际上，我已经绞尽脑汁、费劲心思去想今天我应该讲什么好。
我问自己：我希望在自己毕业那天已经知道的是什么，而又有哪些重要的教训是我从那天开始到现在的21年间学会的。
我想到了两个答案。
在今天这个愉快的日子，我们聚在一起庆祝你们学习上的成功时，我决定和你们谈谈失败的收益。
另外，当你们如今处于“现实生活”的入口处时，我想向你们颂扬想象力的重要性。
我选择的这两个答案似乎如同堂吉诃德式幻想一样不切实际，或者显得荒谬，但是请容忍我讲下去。
对于我这样一个已经42岁的人来说，回头看自己21岁毕业时的情景，并不是一件舒服的事情。
我的前半生之前，我一直在自己内心的追求与最亲近的人对我的要求之间进行不自在的抗争。
哈佛大学校长德鲁福斯特毕业演讲稿
哈佛大学校长德鲁福斯特毕业演讲稿尊敬的毕业生们，家长们，老师们，各位来宾：我很高兴能与这些值得尊敬的人们一同分享这个特殊而不平凡的时刻，这一时刻标志着你们的一个巨大的成就，无论你们现在转向什么领域，你们都有着无限的潜力和能力去实现自己的理想和抱负。
在你们的这个新的旅程开始之前，我想听一听我的一些建议，这些建议也适用于任何一个人的人生旅程。
我的经验告诉我这些是至关重要的。
首先，不要让那些小事毁了你的一生。
年轻人们往往容易陷入琐碎的细节中，但是，事实上，我们每个人的人生都是充满了各种大小不一的挑战和机遇，而每一个挑战和机遇都有潜力去塑造我们成为今天的自己。
所以，我们需要学会放下那些让我们分心的琐碎小事，关注那些真正重要的事情。
其次，要勇敢。
勇敢地探索新的领域，尝试新的体验，勇敢地解决你们未来面临的困难和挑战。
因为只有挑战自我的行为才会让我们成长，拥有勇气并是敢于追求梦想的关键，只有这样，我们才能成为一个更优秀、更强大的人。
不要害怕失败，只要还有机会和时间，就会有进步和成长的可能。
第三，不要忘记感恩。
毕业典礼是一个温馨和感恩的时刻，无论是向你们的家人、老师或是同学，我们都应该感恩他们的支持和帮助。
在你们的未来人生路上，也别忘了感恩来自不同领域的人们、各个阶层的人们的奉献和支持。
因为我们的成功离不开所有那些支持我们的人，而有感恩的情感和态度，会让我们更快的成长和更多的创造出更好的未来。
另外，我们还需要学会进一步推动自己。
每个人都有自己的优点和劣势，在人生的旅程中，我们需要学会认识自己，了解自己的潜力和局限性。
但是，局限性并不意味着无法突破，我们每个人都有学习和探索新领域的潜力，只要我们不断地推动和挑战自己，就能不断地拓展自己的局限性，创造更多可能。
最后，我想给大家一个最重要的忠告：人生是有意义的。
无论你的追求是什么，无论你的梦想是什么，无论你的目标是什么，我们都应该始终牢记人生的最终目标是什么，我们不仅是为了自己而存在，同时也是要为这个社会、为这个国家、为整个人类做一些有力的贡献。

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。

哈佛大学老师演讲稿英语Ladies and gentlemen, 。
It is truly an honor for me to have the opportunity to speak to you today. As a professor at Harvard University, I have had the privilege of working with some of the brightest minds in the world, and I am constantly inspired by the passion and dedication of my students. Today, I would like to share with you some of the insights and lessons that I have learned throughout my career, and I hope that they will be valuable to you as well.First and foremost, I believe that education is the key to success. It is through education that we are able to unlock our full potential and achieve our dreams. At Harvard, we strive to provide our students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. We encourage them to think critically, to question the status quo, and to seek out new and innovative solutions to the challenges we face.In addition to education, I also believe that passion is essential for success. Without passion, it is difficult to stay motivated and to overcome the inevitable obstacles that we will encounter on our journey. I always encourage my students to find their passion and to pursue it with all of their heart. It is this passion that will drive them to achieve greatness and to make a positive impact on the world around them.Furthermore, I believe that resilience is crucial for success. In life, we will undoubtedly face setbacks and failures, but it is how we respond to these challenges that will ultimately determine our success. I always remind my students that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity to learn and grow. It is through resilience that we are able to overcome adversity and to emerge stronger and more determined than ever before.Finally, I believe that it is important to always strive for excellence. At Harvard, we have a culture of excellence that permeates everything we do. We encourage our students to set high standards for themselves and to constantly push the boundaries of what ispossible. It is through this relentless pursuit of excellence that we are able to achieve greatness and to leave a lasting legacy.In conclusion, I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share these insights with you today. I hope that they will inspire you to pursue your dreams with passion, resilience, and a commitment to excellence. Thank you.。
