中国学生哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲The Spider's Bite(中英对照)

The Spider’s BiteWhen I was in middle school, a poisonous spider bit my right hand. I ran to my mom for help—but instead of taking me to a doctor, my mom set my hand on fire.After wrapping my hand with several layers of cotton, then soaking it in wine, she put a chopstick into my mouth,and ignited the cotton.在我上中学的时候,一只有毒蜘蛛咬伤了我的右手,我去找母亲帮忙,但是她没有找医生,却把我的手放在火上面。
她用酒浸过的棉纱绕着我的手缠了好几层之后,在我的嘴里放了一根筷子,然后点燃了棉纱。
【语言点解析】Poisonous表示有毒的;恶毒的;讨厌的。
例句:A lot of poisonous waste water comes from that chemical factory. 那个化工厂排出大量有毒的废水。
Heat quickly penetrated the cotton and began to roast my hand. The searing pain made me want to scream, but the chopstick prevented it. All I could do was watch my hand burn - one minute, then two minutes –until mom put out the fire.棉纱上的温度很快上来了,我的手也开始发烫。
这股灼痛让我想要大叫,不过我嘴里含着的筷子让我叫不出来。
我唯一能做的就是看着我的手骨,一分钟过去了,两分钟过去了,直到母亲熄灭火。

[哈佛校长的演讲]Goodbyeandgoodluck Today, I speak from this podium a final time as your president。
As I depart, I want to thank all of you - students, faculty, alumni and staff - with whom I have been privileged to work over these past years。
Some of us have had our disagreements, but I know that which unites us transcends that which divides us。
今天,我将以校长的身份,最后一次在这个讲台上演讲。
即将离任前,我要感谢诸位学生、教师、校友和员工,而且非常荣幸在过去的5年里能与你们共事。
我们中的一些人意见不尽相同,但是,我知道,我们的共识远远超越分歧。
Some things look different to me than they did five years ago。
The world that today’s Harvard’s graduates are entering is a profoundly different one than the world administrators entered。
在我看来,现在于5年前不同了。
今天的哈佛毕业生正在进入的世界和管理人员当年所进入的世界相比已是大相径庭了。
It is a world where opportunities have never been greater for those who know how to teach children to read,or those who know how to distribute financial risk; never greater for those who understand the cell and thepixel; never greater for those who can master, and navigate between, legal codes, faith traditions,computer platforms, political viewpoints。
奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲中英文

oh my goodness! im at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carlthat was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson,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 fifteenmillion dollars.and to you, members of the harvard class of 2013! hello! decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find newterritory, break new ground. so i ended the show and launched own, the oprah winfreynetwork. the initials just worked out for me. so one year later after launching ownnearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop. not justa flop but a big bold flop they call it. i can still remember the day i opened upusa today and read the headline oprah, not quite standing on her own. i mean really,usa today? now thats the nice newspaper! it really was this time last year the worstperiod in my professional life. i was stressed and i was frustrated and quite franklyi was actually i was embarrassed. and it was all because i wanted to do it by the time i got to speak to you allso thank you so much. you dont know what motivation you were for me, thank you. imevenwhere is he or she? bring them in. its an impressive calling card that can leadto even and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers do what you can wherever youare, from wherever you sit in life. give me your time or your talent your money ifyou have it. and they did. extend yourself in kindness to other human beings whereveryou can. and together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly300 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 angelnetwork that actually focused my internal g.p.s. it helped me to decide that i wasntgoing to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, added this, you simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesnt agree withyou, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do thatany longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darknesscan be banished with light. in our political system and in the media we often seethereflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and isself-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are betterthan the cynicism and thepessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable newscycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of peoplein thisand we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are peoplefrom both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should haveaccess 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 securityand opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really whatare you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you dont.maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, classof 2013, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving ingovernment. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simplywant to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the pointis your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politichas 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 betteryour life, the lives of your neighbors and also the life of our country. when youdo that let me tell you what i know for sure. thats when your story gets really good.maya angelou always says when you learn, teach. when you get, give. that my friendsis what gives your story purpose and meaning. so you all have the power in your ownway to develop your own angel network and in doing so your class will be armed withmore tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history. i didit in an analog world. i was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly20,000,000 viewers a day. now here in a world of twitter and facebook and youtubeand tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds. youre the generation thatrejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up tovote in record numbers in 2008. and when the pundits said they said they talked aboutyou, they said youd be toodisappointed, youd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. thats whoyou are. this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar forb.s. can you say b.s. at harvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastinessthatthat youll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of viewand help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesnt causeus to lose our ability to stand in somebody elses shoes and recognize all that weshare as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our successas 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 knowthis, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very humanbeingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned longago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i first started because i hadbarbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbaraand 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. couldnt stoplaughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be amuch better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara.奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲:人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己 oh my goodness! im athaaaaaarvard! thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard universitygraduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way. winfrey also received anhonorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium.温弗瑞演讲中4条最励志的语录谈失败的好处there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in anotherdirection.世间并不存在“失败”,那不过是生活想让我们换个方向走走罢了。
Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿

Was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿was that okay?——脱口秀女王奥普拉的哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿再大的失败总会翻页“奥普拉秀”在同一时间段的电视节目中连续21年排名第一,我必须说我对于这个成功非常的满足。
但是几年前,我觉得,在人生的某一时刻,你必须重新来过,找到新的领域,实现新的突破。
所以我离开了奥普拉秀,以我的名字命名推出了我自己的电视网络“奥普拉•温福瑞电视网”,缩写正好是“own(自己的)”。
在奥普拉•温福瑞电视网推出一年后,几乎所有的媒体都认为我的新项目是失败的。
他们称之为一个“大写的失败”。
我还记得有一天我打开《今日美国报》时看到头条说“奥普拉搞不定‘自己的’电视网”……这正是去年我职业生涯最低谷的时刻。
说实话,我压力大到近乎崩溃,感到羞愧。
就在那个时候,faust校长打电话邀请我到哈佛做毕业演讲。
我心想:“让我给哈佛的毕业生演讲?我能跟这些世界上最成功的毕业生说什么?我已经不再成功了啊。
”挂了校长的电话后我去洗了个澡。
那个澡,我洗了很长时间,洗澡时我突然想到一首古老赞美诗中的话:“终于,清晨来临”,之后我就想,我的黎明也许要来了。
我又想到那首赞美诗中的另一句话:“困难只是暂时的,都会过去...”当我走出浴室时,我想:我遇到的麻烦,同样会有结束的一天,我会把这一页翻过去,会好起来的。
等我做到了,我就去哈佛,把这个真实的故事告诉大家!今天我来了,并且想告诉你们,我已经把own带上正轨了。
像这样可以吗?我不得不坦言,在我25年的访谈历程中,我所学到的最重要的,我们的人生有一个共同的公分母。
我可以告诉你的是,我们中的大多数人并不愿意被分割。
我在每次访谈中发现我们的“公分母”、我们想要的,就是——我们想要被证实、被认可。
我们渴望被理解。
我的职业生涯中进行了大约35000个访谈,每每关闭摄像机后,几乎所有人都不可避免地转向我,用他们各自的方式,询问着同一个问题:像这样可以吗?布什总统这样问,奥巴马总统也这样问,我在英雄口中听到过这个疑问,同样也在家庭主妇口中听过这句话。
奥普拉演讲译文

奥普拉演讲译文给毕业生的三个经验奥普拉在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲(1954)欧普拉·温弗里[1] 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,而我们的人生就像教室。
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这些来自于这座最宏大的大学的课程,即来自于宇宙本身的课程。
[2] 今天我想和大家分享我人生的三个经验,这三个经验对我的人生产生了很大影响,它们必然和感情,失败和追求幸福相关。
感觉就像人生的导航系统[3] 当我离开大学一年后,在巴尔的摩我得到了一个共同主持6点新闻的机会。
当时我正靠近的媒体界的最大目标就是获得更大的市场,而巴尔的摩是一个比纳什维尔大得多的市场,因此在22岁时得到这个机会对我来说非常重要。
它那时对我来说它仿佛是世界上最重要的事。
[4] 我非常自豪,因为我终于有机会去效法芭芭拉·沃尔特斯。
而她正是我从业以来一直效法的对象。
那时我22岁,每年挣22,000美元。
我遇到了在电视台做实习生的盖丽,我最好的朋友。
我们成为好朋友后,曾说:“我的天啊,真难以置信。
你在22岁时挣每年能挣22,000美元。
想象一下吧,当你40岁时你每年就会挣40,000美元”[5] 当我真的40岁时,我很高兴这并没有成真。
[6] 这就是我,22岁时每年挣22,000美元,然而,这种感觉并不好。
正如亨尼斯校长所说,先是他们试图让我改名字。
那时导演对我说:“没人会记住奥普拉这个名字。
因此我们想让你改名字。
我们已经为你想了一个大家都会记住和喜欢的名字—苏茜。
”[7] 苏茜,一个很友善的名字。
你不会厌恶苏茜。
记住苏茜吧。
但是我的名字不是苏茜。
你们可以看到,自小我就不怎么喜欢我的名字。
因为当你在午餐箱和号牌处寻找你的名字时,你永远也不会找到奥普拉。
[8] 我从小就不怎么喜欢我的名字,但是当我被告知去改名字时,我想,好吧,那是我的名字,但是苏茜真的适合我吗?因此我想,它并不适合我。

"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。

奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲:人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己 oh my goodness! im athaaaaaarvard! thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard universitygraduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way. winfrey also received anhonorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium.温弗瑞演讲中4条最励志的语录谈失败的好处there is no such thing as failure. failure is just life trying to move us in anotherdirection.世间并不存在“失败”,那不过是生活想让我们换个方向走走罢了。
learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are. 要从错误中吸取教训,因为你的每一次经历、尤其是你犯下的错误,都将帮助你、推动你更好地做自己。
2. on her own biggest personal failure.谈自身最大的失败我突然想到某首古老赞美诗中的一句话:“困难只是暂时的”,我遇到的麻烦同样会有结束的一天。
然后我想,我会将这一页翻过去,我会好起来的。
谈职业生涯所做访谈的共同性beyonce in all her beyonce-ness ... they all want to know: was that okay? didyou hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you?我发现,我所有的访谈有一个共同性,那就是人人都希望自己被认可、被理解。
they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did whati said mean anything to you?我的采访对象都想知道:“我的表现ok吗?你听到我看到我吗?我说的话对你有价值吗?”4. on the key to success and happiness.谈成功和快乐的关键you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal. there reallyis only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest, most truthful expression ofyourself as a human being.如果你只认准一个目标,那你就能获得真正的成功和快乐。
人生确实只有一个目标,那就是:最大程度地、最真实地展现自己。
“不要问自己世界需要什么,问问是什么让你精神抖擞地活着,然后就去做,因为世界所需要的就是一个个朝气蓬勃的人。

now thats the nice newspaper! it really was this time last year the worstperiod in my professional life. i was stressed and i was frustrated and quite franklyi was actually i was embarrassed. and it was all because i wanted to do it by the time i got to speak to you allso thank you so much. you dont know what motivation you were for me, thank you. imevenwhere is he or she? bring them in. its an impressive calling card that can leadto even and so what i did was i simply asked our viewers do what you can wherever youare, from wherever you sit in life. give me your time or your talent your money ifyou have it. and they did. extend yourself in kindness to other human beings whereveryou can. and together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly300 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 angelnetwork that actually focused my internal g.p.s. it helped me to decide that i wasntgoing to just be on tv every day but that the goal of my shows, added this, you simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesnt agree withyou, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over. and we cannot do thatany longer. the problem is too enormous. there has to be some way that this darknesscan be banished with light. in our political system and in the media we often seethereflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and isself-interested. and yet, i know you know the truth. we all know that we are betterthan the cynicism and thepessimism that is regurgitated throughout washington and the 24-hour cable newscycle. not my channel, by the way. we understand that the vast majority of peoplein thisand we understand. i know you do because you went to harvard. there are peoplefrom both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should haveaccess to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public educationbecause here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of securityand opportunity. so the question is what are we going to do about it? really whatare you going to do about it? maybe you agree with these beliefs. maybe you dont.maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, classof 2013, are passionate about. maybe you want to make a difference by serving ingovernment. maybe you want to launch your own television show. or maybe you simplywant to collect some change. your parents would appreciate that about now. the pointis your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politichas thus far made impervious to change. each of you has been blessed with this enormous disappointed, youd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers. thats whoyou are. this generation your generation i know has developed a finely honed radar forb.s. can you say b.s. at harvard? the spin and phoniness and artificial nastinessthatsaturates so much of our national debate. i know you all understand better thanmost that real progress requires authentic- an authentic way of being, honesty, andabove allthat youll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of viewand help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesnt causeus to lose our ability to stand in somebody elses shoes and recognize all that weshare as a people. this is imperative for you as an individual and for our successas 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 knowthis, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very humanbeingness if you let it. and as a young girl from rural mississippi i learned longago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be barbara walters. although when i first started because i hadbarbara in my head i would try to sit like barbara, talk like barbara, move like barbaraand 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. couldnt stoplaughing and my real personality came through and i figured out oh gee, i can be amuch better oprah than i could be a pretend barbara. oh my goodness! im at harvard! wow! to president faust, my fellow honorands, carlthat was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson,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 fifteenmillion dollars. and to you, members of the harvard class of 2013! hello!a personality. but it helps. and while i may not have graduated from here i admitthat my 比尔·盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲尊敬的bok校长,rudenstine前校长,即将上任的faust校长,哈佛集团的各位成员,监管理事会的各位理事,各位老师,各位家长,各位同学:有一句话我等了三十年,现在终于可以说了:“老爸,我总是跟你说,我会回来拿到我的学位的!”i want to thank harvard for this timely honor. ill be changing my job next year …and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.我要感谢哈佛大学在这个时候给我这个荣誉。
