"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, 2013.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, 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 fifteen million dollars.And to you, members of the Harvard class of 2013! 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 something really 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 were gone. 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 relentlessdetermination 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 stuck in 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 you to 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 G.P.S. that can tell you which way to go. Because now and forever more when you Google yourself your search results will read "Harvard, 2013". 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,C.E.O., 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 was the 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 G.P.S. 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 what became 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 vilify someone 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 ofpeople 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 our shores. 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 2013, 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 life of 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 2008. 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 2012 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 B.S. Can you say "B.S." at Harvard? 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 everyargument in every encounter, every exchange I 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 first started 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 come alive." 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 2014 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 will be 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 2013 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 FrancineWheeler, 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 2013.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 G.P.S. 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 2013, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening. Was that okay?。

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。

J.K.罗琳在哈佛大学的毕业典礼的致辞失败的好处和想象力的重要性——J.K. 罗琳在哈佛大学的毕业典礼致辞福斯特主席，哈佛公司和监察委员会的各位成员，各位老师、家长、全体毕业生们：首先请允许我说一声谢谢。

哈佛不仅给了我无上的荣誉，连日来为这个演讲经受的恐惧和紧张，更令我减肥成功。

这真是一个双赢的局面。

现在我要做的就是深呼吸几下，眯着眼睛看看前面的大红横幅，安慰自己正在世界上最大的魔法学院聚会上。

发表毕业演说是一个巨大的责任，至少在我回忆自己当年的毕业典礼前是这么认为的。

那天做演讲的是英国著名的哲学家Baroness Mary Warnock，对她演讲的回忆，对我写今天的演讲稿，产生了极大的帮助，因为我不记得她说过的任何一句话了。

这个发现让我释然，让我不再担心我可能会无意中影响你放弃在商业，法律或政治上的大好前途，转而醉心于成为一个快乐的魔法师。

你们看，如果在若干年后你们还记得“快乐的魔法师”这个笑话，那就证明我已经超越了BaronessMary Warnock。

建立可实现的目标——这是提高自我的第一步。

实际上，我为今天应该和大家谈些什么绞尽了脑汁。

我问自己什么是我希望早在毕业典礼上就该了解的，而从那时起到现在的21年间，我又得到了什么重要的启示。

我想到了两个答案。

在这美好的一天，当我们一起庆祝你们取得学业成就的时刻，我希望告诉你们失败有什么样的益处;在你们即将迈向“现实生活”的道路之际，我还要褒扬想象力的重要性。

这些似乎是不切实际或自相矛盾的选择，但请先容我讲完。

回顾21岁刚刚毕业时的自己，对于今天42岁的我来说，是一个稍微不太舒服的经历。

可以说，我人生的前一部分，一直挣扎在自己的雄心和身边的人对我的期望之间。

我一直深信，自己唯一想做的事情，就是写小说。

不过，我的父母，他们都来自贫穷的背景，没有任何一人上过大学，坚持认为我过度的想象力是一个令人惊讶的个人怪癖，根本不足以让我支付按揭，或者取得足够的养老金。

比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿比尔盖茨是世界首富，是著名的慈善家。

今天我给大家分享一篇比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿，希望对大家有所帮助。

比尔盖茨在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates: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：I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: Dad, I always told you I’d come back and get my degree.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.I’ll 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。

明年，我就要换工作了(注：指从微软公司退休) ...... 我终于可以在简历上写我有一个本科学位，这真是不错啊。

I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees. For my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me Harvard’s most successful dropout. I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class ... I did the best of everyone who failed.我为今天在座的各位同学感到高兴，你们拿到学位可比我简单多了。

I did not.毕竟你们都进了哈佛深造而我却没有but then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go to Harvard但后来我意识到并不一定要来哈佛to have the driven obsessive type A personality才能塑造出A型强迫症人格的But it helps.但来这还是有用的and Well, I may not have graduated from here,虽然我没从这里毕业I admit that my personality is about this Harvard as they come.我得承认我的个性与哈佛学子的不谋而合You know, my television career began unexpectedly.其实我的电视生涯是在不经意中开始的as you've heard this morning,各位在今天早上已经听说了I was in a Miss Fire Prevention Contest.我参加了防火小姐比赛That was when I was sixteen years old, in Nashville, Tennessee,那还是我16岁的时候当时在田纳西州的纳什维尔and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win,要想赢得比赛就得将头发染红up until the year that I entered.直到我参赛的那年都是如此So they were redoing the "question-and-answer" period,他们沿用了问答的环节because I knew I wasn't going to win in this swimsuit competition.因为我知道我赢不了泳装比赛So, doing the question-and-answer period, the question came:在问答环节中问题是这样的Why, young lady? What would you like to be when you will grow up?小姐长大以后你希望做什么?"And by the time they've got to me all the good answers were gone.轮到我的时候所有的好答案都被别人用光了So, I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning.那天早上我看过了芭芭拉·沃尔特斯的今日秀So I answered: "I would like to be a journalist.于是我就回答说我想成为一名新闻工作者I would like to tell other people stories我想给人们讲述故事in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world."从而影响人们的生活改变整个世界"And as those words were coming out of my mouth,当那些话从我嘴里说出来的时候I went: "Whoa! this is pretty good!"我感觉"哇! 这职业蛮不错的嘛!"I would like to be a journalist. I want to make a difference我要成为一名新闻工作者我要改变世界Well, I was on television by the time I was 19 years old.于是我在19岁那年上了电视and in 1984, I launched my own television show在1984年我推出了自己的电视栏目with a relentless determination to succeed.而这靠的是自己追求成功的坚定决心At first, I was nervous about the competition,起初我害怕与人竞争and then I became my own competition.后来我的竞争对手变成了自己raising the bar every year,每年都为自己设定更高的目标pushing pushing pushing myself as hard as I knew,逼迫自己竭尽所能sound familiar to anybody here.这些是众所周知的了Eventually, we did make it to the top,最终我们终于攀上了巅峰and we stayed there for 25 years.并且保持了25年之久The Oprah Winfrey show奥普拉·温弗瑞的栏目was number one in our time slot for twenty one years.21年来都保持同时段收视冠军的位置And I have to tell you,我得承认I became pretty comfortable with that level of success.这样的成功让我感觉非常好But a few years ago, I decided,但在若干年前我做出了决定as you will, at some point,各位将来也会和我一样that it was time to recalculate,会在某一时刻认为自己要重新开始find new territory, break new ground.寻找新版图开辟新天地So ended the show,于是我停掉了栏目and launched OWN,推出了OWNthe Oprah Winfrey Network.也就是"奥普拉·温弗瑞有线电视网"Initials just worked out for me.我很喜欢缩写词So, one year later after launching on,在推出一年之后nearly every media outlet had proclaimed几乎所有的媒体都宣布that my new venture with a flop,我的新事业失败了not just a flop, but the big bold flop, they call it.不仅是失败用他们的话说是"一败涂地"I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today我至今依然记得那天当我翻开《今日美国》时and read the headline "Oprah - Not Quite Standing On Her 'OWN'".一个大标题映入眼帘"奥普拉-自难成事"I mean, really, USA Today, that's the nice newspaper.我就纳闷了《今日美国》这样的好报纸居然也这样It really was, this time last year,的确去年的这个时侯the worst period in my professional life.是我职业生涯的低谷I was stressed, and I was frustrated.压力感与挫败感油然而生And quite frankly, I was... actually, I was embarrassed.说实话当时感觉身陷窘境it was right around that time, the President Faust called.就在那个节骨眼上福斯特校长给我打电话and asked me to speak here.邀请我来这里做演讲And I thought: "You want me to speak to Harvard graduates?当时我想"您让我来给哈佛毕业生们做演讲?What I... What can I possibly say to Harvard graduates,我能对他们说些什么呢some of the most successful graduates in the world,他们可是世界上最前途无量的一群人啊in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding?而且恰逢我事业失利的时候？So I got off the phone with President Faust,于是我挂断了福斯特校长的电话and I went to the shower.然后去洗了个澡It was either that or a bag of Oreos.要么淋浴要么就去吃一袋奥利奥饼干So I chose a shower.于是我选择去冲个澡and I was in the shower along time.在我淋浴的时候And as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me,一首古老的赞美诗闪过脑海you may not know it. It's "By and By... when the morning comes".你们可能没听过这个"耐心等待曙光终将到来"And I started thinking about when the morning might come.我开始思考自己的曙光何时到来Because when the time I thought I was stuck in a hole因为当我感到身陷困境时and the words came to me:想起了这些诗词Trouble. trouble don't last always from that hymn.困难困难终会过去这也是出自那首赞美诗This too shall pass.它也终会过去And I thought, as I got out of that shower,从浴室出来以后我开始思索I, I'm going to turn this thing around,我要扭转这种局面and I would be better for it.我会变得更好And when I do, I'm going to go to Harvard,一旦我做到了我会去哈佛大学I'm going to speak the truth of it.说出心里话So I'm here today to tell you:所以今天我要跟各位说I have turned that network around!我已让电视网重获新生!And it was all because I wanted to do it而来这里为你们做演讲by the time I got to speak to you or so.就是我唯一的动力Thank you so much!非常感谢你们!You don't know what motivation you are for me. Thank you!你们不知道这给了我多大的动力谢谢了!I'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth同时我要更自豪地分享一件事that you might not have learned, even as graduate of Harvard,尽管你们是哈佛毕业生可能也不知道这个unless you studied the ancient Greek role with professor Nagy,除非你攻读的是纳吉教授的古希腊角色professor Nagy, as we were coming in this morning said:我们今天早上来的时候纳吉教授对我说:Please, Ms. Winfrey, walk decisively.温弗瑞女士请自信地走起来吧!I shall walk decisively.我的确要自信地走起来This is what I want to share.这就是我要分享的事情了It doesn't matter how far you might rise.无论你有多么成功At some point, you are bound to stumble.难免会遇到失意之时Because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar,因为如果你们像我们这样不断提升目标if you are constantly pushing yourself higher, higher,如果你们不断为自己设定更高的目标the Law of averages, not to mention the myth of Icarus,根据常规我指的不是伊卡洛斯神话哦predicts that you will at some point fall.你们会在某时失意And when you do, I want you to know this, remember this:届时我希望各位可以记住一点请记住:There is no such thing as failure.世上没有失败Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.失败只不过是命运试图将我们推向另一个方向罢了Now, when you down in a hole, it looks like failure.当你身处困境时这只是看似一种失败而已So, this past year, I had to spoon-feed those words to myself.在过去的一年中我时刻提醒自己牢记这一点And when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes,当你深陷困境时在那个时刻到来之时it's really okay to feel bad for a little while.暂时的难过是正常的Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost.给自己一点时间去哀叹失去的一切But then here's the key:然后就是关键所在Learn from every mistake.从每次的失误中汲取经验教训Because every experience encounter, and particularly your mistakes,因为所有的经验尤其是你的失误are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.都会让你学到东西促使你找回自我And then figure out what is in the next right move.然后确定下一步该何去何从And the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional GPS命运的关键在于培育出一个内在的道德情感导航仪that can tell you which way to go.使其能够为你指明方向Because now and forevermore, when you Google yourself,因为从今以后当你用谷歌搜索自己的时候your search results will read: Harvard, 2013.搜索结果中会提到哈佛大学2013 and in a very competitive world, that really is a calling card,在这个充满竞争的世界那的确是一张抢眼的名片cause I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people,就我个人而言我曾招聘过很多人when I see Harvard,当我看到哈佛大学的字眼时I sit a little bit straighter and say,我总是会坐直一些然后说Where if he or she? Bring them in.他们在哪? 把他们统统带过来It's an impressive calling card正是这张抢眼的名片that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead.可以成就你们的未来之路Lawyer, senator,你们可能成为律师参议员CEO, scientist, physicist,首席执行官科学家物理学家winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes,诺贝尔奖及普利策奖得主or late night talk show host.乃至深夜谈话节目主持人But the challenge of life I found is to build a resume但我发现命运的挑战在于创建一份履历that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be,其中不仅应陈述你所期望的职位but it's a story about who you want to be.也应明确你要成就怎样的自我It's a resume that doesn't just tell a story这份履历不仅要陈述about what you want to accomplish, but why.你想成就一番怎样的事业也要明确动机A story that's not just a collection of titles and positions,不仅要陈述心中的头衔与职位but a story that is really about your purpose.也要说出做出这些目标的因由because when you inadvertently stumble,因为当你不慎绊倒and find yourself stuck in a hole,发现自己深陷困境之时that is the story that will get you out.这种动机可以让你从中摆脱What is your true calling? What is your dogma?你的原始动机是什么？你的信仰是什么？What is your purpose?你的意图是又什么？For me, that discovery came in 1994,我是在1994年认识到这一点的when I interviewed a little girl当时我采访了一位小女孩who had decided to collect pocket change,她决定积攒零钱in order to help other people in need.帮助其他有需要的人She raised a thousand dollars all by herself,她凭一己之力积攒了一千美元and I thought:当时我想Well, what that little nine-year old girl,一个九岁大的小女孩with a bucket and a big heart, could do that,仅凭一个存钱罐与雄心壮志就能做到这样and I wondered what I could do?那么我可以做些什么呢？So, I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection,于是我号召我的观众们捐出他们的零钱and in one month, just from pennies, and nickels and dimes,在一个月内仅仅是那些面值极小的零钱we raised more than three million dollars我们就募到了三百多万美元that we used to send one student我们用这笔钱将每个州的一位学子from every state in the United States to college.送入了大学的殿堂That was the beginning of the Angel Network.天使网络便从那时开始运作了And so, what I did was I simply ask our viewers,我所做的仅仅是号召我们的观众do what you can, wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life,尽己所能无论地域与地位giving your time, your talent, your money if you have it,如果可能请拿出你们的时间智慧与财力and they did,他们也的确鼎力相助extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can.无论你在哪里请为他人送去自己的仁爱之心And, together, we built 55 schools in 12 different countries,与此同时我们在12个州成立了55所学校and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated修缮了300栋曾被飓风丽塔by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.与飓风卡特里娜摧毁的民宅So, the Angel Network, I've been on the air for a long time.天使网络的想法在我心中萦绕已久But it was the Angel Network that actually focused my internal GPS.正是天使网络让我确定了心中的那个导航仪It helped me to decide that I wasn't just going to be on TV every day,它使我决定不再单一地从事电视事业but that the goal of my shows, my interviews,还要关注我的栏目目标我的采访my business, my philanthropy, all of it,我的业务我的慈善事业等等whatever ventures I might pursue无论我追求的是什么我都会明确would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming将我们团结在一起的信念终将and compelling than anything that separates me.远远胜过拆散我们的一切事物Because what has become clear to me, and I want you to know因为希望各位明白我所认清的道理it isn't always clear in the beginning.起初通常是不够明确的Because as I said, I've been on television since I was 19 years old.因为我曾说过我在19岁那年初登荧屏But around '94, I got really clear.但到了1994年我才明白这些道理So, don't expect the clarity to come all at once因此不要指望能即可明晰所有的事to know your purpose right away,不要指望能即刻认清自身的志向所在but what became clear to me was但当时我清楚地知道that I was here on earth to use television我在利用电视and not be used by it,而不是被电视所利用to use television利用电视媒体to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels.彰显我们更好的天使的超凡力量So, this Angel Network,因此对于天使网络而言it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped,它并不只会改变那些得到帮助的人but the lives of those who also did the helping.也会改变那些施予帮助的人It reminded us that no matter who we are or what we looked like,它提醒我们无论是谁外表怎样or what we may believe, it is both possible.心存何种信念都有可能实现目标And more importantly, it becomes powerful to come together更重要的是凭借共同的目的与共同的努力in common purpose and common effort.它将变得更为强大I saw something on the Bill Moyers show, recently,最近我在比尔莫耶斯访谈节目中看到的一些事情that so reminded me of this point.使我更加明确了这一点It was an interview with David and Francine Wheeler.当时的访谈对象是大卫与法兰欣·威勒夫妇They lost their seven-year-old son, Ben, in the Sandy Hook tragedy.在桑迪岬惨案中他们失去了年仅七岁的儿子本And even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks然而就在他们接受采访的同时has been voted down in congress at the time they were doing this interview.加强背景调查的枪支安全法遭到了国会的投票否决They talked about how they refused to be discouraged.他们说自己绝不会气馁Francine said this. She said:这是法兰欣说的她说"Our hearts are broken, but our spirits are not.""心可碎但态度不能变"I'm going to tell them what it's like我要让他们知道to find a conversation about change that is love.寻找转变的对话这才是爱And I'm going to do that without fighting them.我要努力去做到而不会与他们争斗And then her husband David added this:随后她的丈夫大卫补充道:You simply cannot demonize or vilify someone遇到与你意见不同的人who doesn't agree with you.你不该把他妖魔化甚至加以诽谤Because the minute you do that, your discussion is over,因为一旦这样做了对话也就随之终止and we cannot do that any longer.我们绝不会这样The problem is too enormous, there has to be some way问题依然非常显著一定有某种方法that this darkness can be banished with light.能够使光明驱走黑暗In our political system and in the media,在我们的政体与媒体中we often see the reflection of a country我们会经常会见到一个极化的that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested.麻痹而又自私的国家缩影And yet, I know you know the truth.然而我知道你们是了解真相的We all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism我们知道我们要好过华盛顿政府that is regurgitated throughout Washington,以及24小时循环播放的有线新闻中的and the 24-hour cable news cycle,犬儒主义与厌世主义not my channel by the way.还好不是我的频道We understand that the vast majority of people in this country我们深知这个国家的多数公民believe in stronger background checks,都支持更加强有力的背景调查机制because they realize that we can uphold the Second Amendment,因为他们意识到我们可以赞成第二修正案and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children.并且减少让我们饱受丧子之痛的暴力事件They don't have to be incompatible.二者并不矛盾And we understand that most Americans我们深知大多数美国人坚信believe in the clear path to citizenship能够给予居住在这个国家的1200万非法移民for the twelve million undocumented immigrants to reside in this country明确的公民身份because it's possible to both enforce our laws.因为完全可以在实施法案的同时And at the same time, embrace the words on the Statue of Liberty践行自由女神像前的铭言that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to our shores.收容那些世代蜷缩在边境线上的人们We can do both.二者可以兼得And we understand, I know you do,我们能理解我知道你们也能理解because you all went to Harvard,因为你们都是哈佛学子that people from both parties and no party believe无论是党派人士或无党派人士都认为that indigent mothers and families贫困的母亲与家庭should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads应当获得健康食物与栖身之所and a strong public education,以及良好的公共教育because here in the richest nation on earth,因为在这个全球最富饶的国度中we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity.我们有能力满足对于安全与机遇的基本需要So, the question is:那么问题在于What are we going to do about it? Really.我们要如何行动起来? 说真的What are you going to do about it?各位要如何行动起来?Maybe you agree with these beliefs, maybe you don't,或许你赞同这些信念或许心存异议maybe you care about these issues,或许你关注这些问题or maybe there are other challenges亦或还有其它方面的挑战that you, class of 2013 year, are passionate about,是你们这些2013年度毕业生所热衷的maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government,或许你希望通过从政来改变这一切maybe you want to launch your own television show,或许你希望推出自己的电视栏目or maybe you simply want to collect some change.或许只是想要攒些零钱Your parents would appreciate that about, now.你们的父母此时会很欣赏这种做法The point is,关键在于your generation is charged with this task of breaking through你们这一代人肩负着what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change.打破国家目前改革维艰的局面each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity每位来这所知名学府学习的同学of attending this prestigious school.都被赐予了极大的机遇You now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors,现在你们有机会让自己及周围的人们生活得更好and also the life of our country.包括我们的所有同胞们When you do that, let me tell you what I know for sure:届时我会确信地告诉你That's when you story gets really good.那时你的人生才会变得真正精彩起来Maya Angelou always says:玛雅·安吉洛经常说When you learn, teach.

附文字版：———————————————所有2013届的毕业生们！大家好！感谢你们让我成为你们人生这一篇章的结束与下一篇章开始的纽带。

对我而言，荣幸根本无法表达我内心深处对哈佛授予我荣誉学位的感激之情。

不是每个来自密西西比州的农村小姑娘都能来到剑桥城的。

我希望今天我能为你们带来一些启发。

我的演讲是为那些曾在人生中感到自卑或觉得自己没有优点，甚至觉得生活一团糟的人。

大家都知道，我的电视事业生涯开始的出乎意料，我当时在参加“防火小姐”比赛。

那年我16岁，在田纳西州的纳什维尔。

问答环节问道：“年轻的女士，你长大后想做什么？为什么？”因为那天早上我正好在“今日秀”中看到了芭芭拉·沃尔特斯（Barbara Walters）女士，所以我说：“我想成为一名记者，我想成为为人们带来一些在某种程度上能改变人们生活和世界的故事。

”当我说出这些话时，我觉得：“哇！还挺不错的！我想做个记者，我要做出一番事业。

”后来，19岁时我上了电视。

在1986年，我推出了我自己的电视节目，一开始就下定决心要成功。

我以前对竞争很紧张，后来我和自己竞争，每年设立一个更高的目标，一步一步地推到极限。

对大家来说听着挺熟悉吧？最终，我们成功达到巅峰，并保持了25年。

“奥普拉·温弗瑞秀”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绩非常的满足。

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·温弗瑞秀”，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·温弗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。

不仅仅是失败，他们称之为一个大写的失败。

哈佛毕业典礼上的4场演讲，都重申唯有使命感让人真正强大昨天，被扎克伯格在哈佛大学2017届学生毕业典礼上的演讲刷了屏。

作为世界上最年轻的亿万富翁，扎克伯格身上的好奇、自律和向善，一直是孩子们成长的榜样（我们曾专门撰文分析过“扎克伯格式的富有”，点此阅读）。

本次他的演讲，同样幽默又深入，值得一看：使命感：让人更专注看完这场演讲，相信您和学院君的感受一样——对“使命感”（Mission）这个词印象深刻。

早在2015年，扎克伯格到清华经管学院演讲时，他就重点谈到了这个词——他回忆自己当年拒绝大企业收购的邀请，管理层纷纷离他而去也在所不惜，“当我创立Facebook的时候，我不是要创立一个公司。

我想要解决一个非常重要的问题。

我想把人们联系在一起。

当你有使命，它会让你更专注。

”而在哈佛的演讲上，扎克伯格更进一步地谈到了，所谓“使命感”，仅仅找到我们个人的目标或使命是不够的：目标是我们意识到我们是比自己更大的东西的一部分，是我们被需要的、我们需要更为之努力的东西。

目标能创造真正的快乐。

但光有目标是不够的。

你必须拥有心系他人的目标。

我曾和许多被拘留的、阿片类药物成瘾的孩子们坐在一起，他们告诉我如果他们有事可做，参加课后活动或者有地方可去，他们的人生会变得很不一样。

我也遇到过很多工厂的工人，他们没法再从事之前从事的工作了，所以试图找到新的能做的事。

为了保持社会的进步，我们身负挑战——不仅仅是创造新的工作，还要创造新的目标。

花一点时间，去帮助其他人，这是我们每个人都可以做到的。

让我们通过此举，让每个人都有实现人生目标的自由——不仅因为这样做是正确的，更是因为当人们可以把梦想变为伟大的现实时，我们每个人都会变得更好。

”使命感：定义了“我是谁”同样是在哈佛大学的毕业典礼上，去年这个时候，大导演斯皮尔伯格也谈到了“使命感”。

点击下方视频即可观看：他回忆自己在18岁的时候就清楚自己想要做什么，但却不清楚“我是谁”。

因为在此之前，他一直都在听取别人的声音，听家长、老师向他灌输智慧和信息，领导、导师以他们的角度告诉他世界如何运转（就像我们绝大多数人一样）。

大学生《做自己》演讲稿（通用17篇）大学生《做自己》篇1尊敬的老师们，亲爱的同学们：大家好！走自己的路，让别人说去吧！多少人追寻着真实的自己。

蜡烛以自焚之痛演绎绝美的贡献，蝴蝶以破茧重生的痛苦完成人生的使命。

他们都以自己最真的表现去诠释最美的自己。

做最真实的自我不一定是最美的自己，但要做到最美的自己必须做到最真实的自我！涉古交观今，我们所知的很多。

中国就以“最美”创造了一代代的奇迹。

“最美妈妈”用自己的双手怀抱生命，只出于本能反应，这是最真的，同时她也做到了最美的自己。

“最美洗脚妹”用自己的血汗钱去资助和她一样怀着梦想的学子，只为自己的遗憾不再重复！“当代愚公”用自己十几年的青春，点缀了新疆沙漠的绿荫！太多的真实传奇，让我们不得也去追逐内心的想法，做真实的自我，追求最美的自己。

做真实的自己，可能会被异类也可能会收获知己，所以我们要做最美的自己。

英国“铁娘子”首相，她用一生展示了最真实的自我，一心只为英国经济，不顾朝野势力威胁，用自己独到的见解，撑起了英国一片的繁她的最真让她遭遇谋杀，被砸鸡蛋，但谁也不能否定她做到了最美的自己。

三国中的关羽，我们都知晓他过五关斩六将的传奇。

正是他身在曹营，心在汉的不投降原则，让曹操惜才之心“泛滥”，最真实的自我，使关羽流成为“义绝”的化身，这无疑是最美的自己。

做最真实的自我不一定是最美的自己，那我们该何去何从，吾谁与归呢？从从容容一杯酒，平平淡淡一壶茶。

陶渊明以其个人追求的生活，定格成了不与世俗同流合污的最美隐士！“护国娘娘”赛金花以其会德文，使德国减轻了对中国的人格残害！做最美的自己不需要多么轰轰烈烈，只要出于自己的本心，哪怕只是一缕笑容！一丝问候，也能对他人有所帮助，尽自己最本能地去帮助他人，那便是最美的自己！当陈光标裸捐时，有人私下做了裸收！当陈光标做到了最美的自己时，而有些人连真的自我也难以找到。

“我是陈欧，我为自己代言”！最真的自我以良心为标准，最美的自己以幸福感为标准！我坚持做最美的自己！大学生《做自己》演讲稿篇2大家好！“国际数学大师陈省身说，别的什么都不会，只好做数学。

哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲稿——人生唯一目标是做自己奥普拉·温弗瑞：美国著名脱口秀主持人、媒体企业家。

奥普拉在哈佛大学2013届毕业典礼的演讲——人生唯一目标是做自己我要分享的想法是：无论你有多么成功，也许你们会不断追求更高的目标，这就难免会遇到失意之时。

我希望届时各位可以记住：世上并不存在失败，那不过是生活试图将我们推向另一个方向罢了。

当你身处困境时，看起来是一种失败。

在过去的一年中，我时刻提醒自己牢记这一点。

当深陷困境时，感到难过是正常的，给自己一点时间去思考即将失去的一切。

关键在于：要从错误中汲取教训，因为所有经验，尤其是你犯下的错误，都将帮助你、推动你更好地做自己，确定下一步何去何从。

生活的关键在于建立起一个内在的道德情感导航仪，为你指明方向。

因为从今以后，当你用谷歌搜索自己的时候，搜索结果中会提到：“哈佛大学2013毕业生”。

在这个充满竞争的世界，这的确是一张抢眼的名片。

我曾招聘过很多人，而每当我看到哈佛大学这个字眼时，我总是会坐直一些说：“他们在哪?把他们统统带过来。

”正是这张抢眼的名片可以成就你们的未来之路。

你们可能成为律师、议员、首席执行官、科学家、物理学家、诺贝尔奖及普利策奖得主，甚至深夜脱口秀节目主持人。

但生活的挑战在于创建一份不仅陈述所期望的职位的履历，而且上面要明确成就怎样的自我。

这份履历不仅需要表达你想成就一番怎样的事业，也要明确动机，除了头衔与职位，也要有达成目标的缘由。

你的使命是什么?你的信仰是什么?你的目标是什么?只有这样，当你不慎跌倒发现自深陷困境之时，才能帮助你重振旗鼓。

我是在1994年才认识到这一点的。

那年我采访了一位凭一己之力积攒了1000美元零花钱的小女孩，她将这钱捐出来帮助有需要的人。

这个九岁大的小女孩促使我思考，仅凭一个存钱罐与雄心壮志就能做到这样，那我可以做些什么呢?于是我号召我的观众们捐出他们的零钱，在一个月内，仅仅是一枚枚零钱硬币就募到了300万美金。

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，与在座的各位分享一些我个人的经历和感悟。

我知道，在座的每一位都是哈佛的精英，未来都有可能成为改变世界的重要力量。

因此，我希望通过我的故事，能够给大家带来一些启发。

我的人生充满了曲折和挑战，但我始终相信，每一个经历都是成长的机会。

今天，我想从三个方面来谈谈我的经历：我的第一次辍学、我的苹果之路以及我的人生哲学。

一、我的第一次辍学在我大学的第一学期，我就选择了辍学。

当时的我，对大学的教育体系感到失望，觉得所学的东西与我的兴趣和梦想不符。

于是，我决定追求自己的梦想，去探索未知的世界。

辍学后的我，经历了许多艰难的日子。

我搬到了旧金山，开始了我的创业之旅。

那段日子，我住在一间破旧的公寓里，每天为了生计而奔波。

但我从未放弃过自己的梦想，我相信，只要坚持下去，总有一天会成功。

我想借此机会告诉在座的同学们，人生中的每一次选择都是一次冒险。

不要害怕失败，不要害怕改变。

有时候，放弃看似稳定的道路，才能找到真正属于自己的道路。

二、我的苹果之路在旧金山的日子里，我遇到了史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克，我们共同创办了苹果公司。

我们怀揣着梦想，希望通过科技改变世界。

虽然我们的产品并不完美，但我们始终坚持创新，不断改进。

然而，在苹果公司的发展过程中，我们也遇到了许多挑战。

在1985年，我被公司董事会解雇了。

那是我人生中最痛苦的时刻之一，我感到失落、无助。

但我没有放弃，我知道，只要我还有梦想，就有重新站起来的勇气。

不久后，我创立了NeXT电脑公司，并推出了革命性的产品。

1997年，我被邀请回到苹果公司，担任CEO。

在接下来的几年里，我们推出了iMac、iPod、iPhone等一系列颠覆性的产品。

我想借此机会告诉在座的同学们，成功不是一蹴而就的。

在追求梦想的过程中，我们会遇到许多挫折和困难。

但只要我们坚持不懈，相信自己，就一定能够实现梦想。

三、人生哲学在我的职业生涯中，我始终坚持以下几条人生哲学：1. 追随你的内心和直觉：在你的人生中，只有你自己最了解自己的内心。

哈佛大学毕业演讲稿(9篇)哈佛大学毕业演讲稿篇二哈佛大学毕业演讲稿篇五同学们：我作为教师代表，热忱欢送你们来到北京中医药大学求学!我先来讲一个故事。

据三国志记载，华佗医术高超，曹操的顽固性头痛病只有经华佗治疗才能有效缓解。

因此，曹操留华佗随军当军医。

但是华佗想家，对曹操谎称“方得家书，去去就回。

”回到家以后，又借口说太太病了，需要在家治疗和照看，一再续假不归。

曹操屡次写信催他回来，还让地方政府行政长官带信做思想工作，但华佗持才不买账，就是不回军队。

曹操大怒，派人前去勘探虚实。

曹操说了：“假如华佗夫人真病了，赏40斛小豆慰问之，并宽限他的假期照看妻子;如若说谎，就把华佗押送回来。

”曹操要处死华佗，大臣荀彧劝道：“华佗治病救人医术好生了得，应当宽宥。

”曹操不听，结果把华佗给杀了。

华佗死了以后，曹操头痛病又发作，曹操说：“华佗能断病根而有意不断，以此挟制自重，即使我不杀他，他也不会为我治疗断根的。

”后来曹操的爱子曹冲得病死了，曹操叹曰：“吾悔杀华佗，令此儿强死也。

”这个故事大家耳熟能详，对此史实有多种解读和看法。

不知在座诸位怎么对待这一历史大事?先请诸位一边在脑中整理一下自已的思绪，一边且听我连续说下去。

看法之一：曹操杀死神医华佗，说明他是一个“宁负天下人”、淫威残忍的奸臣枭雄。

看法之二：曹操本是一位爱才惜才敬才的将领，事实上也很敬重华佗，杀死华佗肯定有其不得已的缘由。

或许在曹操看来，你华佗作为一名军医，当守军法纪律，自由散漫离开军队，好言相劝、一再催之，不理不睬，恃才无恐，岂非视军法为儿戏?曹操杀了华佗是依法治军的需要。

看法之三：华佗说谎不诚恳的人品有问题才招致杀身之祸。

他先是谎称家中来信，说什么去去就回;后又谎称妻子生病需要照看。

即使在今日看来，人品还是讲究德艺双馨，甚至实行“德才兼备、以德为先、德高于才”的用人、培育人的原则，这与曹操当年的用人组织路线并无丝毫差异。

就说当前反腐败，也不会由于贪官能干、曾为地方建立作出奉献而被饶恕。

Hello ，class of 2015.I am so honest to be here today.Dean Khurana ，faculty ，parents ，and most especially graduating students.Thank you so much for inviting me.I have to admit that today ，even 12years after graduation.I ’m still insecure about my own worthless.I have to remind myself today you ’re here for a reason.Today I feel much like I did when I came to Harvard Yard now so much affected as to make it almost impossible for her to appear tolerably cheerful.Their engagements at Rosings were as frequent during the last week of her stay as they had been at first.The very last evening was spent there ；and her Ladyship again enquired minutely into the particulars of their journey ，gave them directions as to the best method of packing ，and was so urgent on the necessity of placing gowns in the only right way ，that Maria thought herself obliged ，on her return ，to undo all the work of the morning ，and pack her trunk afresh.When they parted ，Lady Catherine ，with great condescension ，wished them a good journey ，and invited them to come to Hunsford again next year ；and Miss De Bourgh exerted herself so far as to curtsey and hold out her hand to both.激，连强颜欢笑也几乎办不到了，这是可想而知的。

哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——提升思维和创造力Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and most importantly, my fellow graduates of Harvard University. It is a great honor for me to stand here today and address you on such a significant occasion.As we gather here on the steps of this prestigious institution, we are all filled with an overwhelming sense of pride and satisfaction. But as we look forward to our future, we must remember that the path ahead is not always straight, and that it is up to us to chart our own course.One of the key skills we must develop is the ability to think critically and creatively. In today's fast-paced andever-changing world, it is essential that we are able to process information quickly, analyze it effectively, and come up with innovative solutions to the problems we face.To achieve this, we must first challenge the way we think. We must learn to question the status quo, challenge conventional wisdom, and think outside the box. We must be open to new perspectives and willing to embrace change.But simply having the ability to think creatively is not enough. We must also have the courage to act on our ideas and take risks. We must be willing to fail and learn from our mistakes.While we have been fortunate enough to receive an education from one of the most prestigious universities inthe world, we must also recognize that education does not end here. We must continue to learn and grow throughout our lives.We must seek out new experiences, embrace diversity, and engage with the world around us. We must remain curious, ask questions, and never be satisfied with the status quo.As we leave Harvard today, we have been given the toolswe need to succeed in life. But it is up to us to apply these tools and transform our knowledge into action.So, my fellow graduates, as we embark on this excitingnew chapter in our lives, I urge you to remember the importance of creativity, critical thinking, and lifelong learning. I urge you to never give up on your dreams, to take risks, and to embrace the unknown.Together, we can create a better future for ourselves and for the world. Thank you, and congratulations to the Class of 2021.。

比尔.比尔盖茨在美国哈佛大学毕业晚会上的励志演讲稿比尔.比尔盖茨在美国哈佛大学毕业晚会上的励志演讲稿尊重的bok校领导，rudenstine前校领导，将要就任的faust校领导，哈佛大学集团公司的诸位组员，管控联合会的诸位专家，诸位教师，诸位父母，诸位同学们：有一句话我等你了三十年，如今总算能够讲了："爸爸，我一直跟你说，我能回家取得我的学士学位的!"我想谢谢美国哈佛大学在这个时候帮我这一殊荣。

2020年，我要跳槽了(注：指从微软中国离休)......我终于能够在个人简历上写我有一个大学学位，这简直不错啊。

我来为今日在座的各位同学们非常高兴，大家取得学士学位相比我简易多了。

哈佛大学的校刊称我是"美国哈佛大学在历史上最取得成功的辍学生"。

我觉得这大约使是我资质意味着我这一类学员讲话......在全部的失败的人里，我做得最好是。

可是，我要提示大伙儿，我促使steve ballmer(注：微软公司经理)也从哈佛大学商学院休学了。

因而，我是个拥有极端知名度的人。

这就是为何把我邀约来在大家的毕业晚会上演说。

假如我还在大家入校晚宴主持词上演说，那麼可以坚持不懈到今日在这儿大学毕业的人或许会少得多吧。

对于我而言，哈佛大学的求学经历是一段不凡的历经。

学校生活很有意思，我常去旁边听我没选修课的课。

哈佛大学的课余日常生活也非常好，我还在radcliffe过着无拘无束的日子。

每日我的宿舍里总会有很多人一直待到深夜，探讨着各种各样事儿。

由于每一个人都了解我从来不考虑到第二天早上。

这促使我变成了校园里这些躁动不安学员的头子，大家相互之间粘在一起，作出一种回绝全部一切正常学员的姿势。

radcliffe是个过日子的好去处。

那边的女孩比男孩子多，并且大部分男孩子全是理工科专业的。

这类情况为我造就了最好是的机遇，假如大家搞清楚您是什么意思。

遗憾的是，我恰好是在这儿学得了人生道路中忧伤的一课：机遇大，并不意味着你也就会取得成功。

哈佛大学校长德鲁?福斯特在哈佛毕业典礼上的演讲再见，敬爱的母校!再见，敬爱的老师!再见，亲爱的同学们!是你们让我学到了知识，教会了我做人。

母校在我们的心里播下了友谊的种子，这些种子永远开放在我们的心田。

我希望把母校编写成一曲动听的歌谣来伴随我们一生的风雨路;把老师誉为一支永放光芒的蜡烛，照亮我们的前方;把同学之谊架成一座永远的桥梁，让我们的心永远连在一起。

由此走向社会，我们仍然要面对复杂的人生。

我想在座的上千名毕业生能上北大国发院并且顺利毕业，堪称天之骄子、命运的宠儿。

每个人手上都拿着一个满意的offer，天高海阔，你们必然是踌躇满志。

不过特别需要理解，中国处在一个前所未有的大时代。

之所以大是因为机会巨大、前景巨大、空间巨大，又面对无比复杂的问题。

有很多阴暗面，它们重重叠叠，利益纠葛相互缠绕，牵一发而动全身。

这个大时代将持续很长时间，将是大家参与社会的时代背景。

今天小编推荐给大家的文章是哈佛大学校长德鲁·福斯特在哈佛毕业典礼上的演讲，欢迎大家一起浏览，阅读。

「这是一个自拍——还有自拍杆的时代。

仔细想想，如果社会里的每个人都开始过上整天自拍的生活，这会是怎样一个社会呢?对于我来说，那也许是“利己主义”最真实的写照了。

我们无休止地关注我们自己、我们的形象、我们得到的“赞”，不停地进行“自我放大”。

我也知道，你们这几年也有许多美好的记忆：信息院里，有你们又怕又爱、面冷心慈、批评起人来连男生也会哭的“吴奶奶”——吴同茂老师;湘雅医学院里，有熟悉临床八年制学生各种详细信息、生病也要为同学们办好毕业庆祝晚会的辅导员——丁红珊“老大姐”;铁道校区学生3舍里，有同学们遇到困难就愿意和他聊一聊的宿管员李发强师傅;升华公寓25栋里，有被同学们称为知心朋友、贴心哥哥的85后楼管“杨帅哥”;机电院里，有傲立风雨中，直言“我的课讲得好”，“我不服”的汤老师，等等。

这些普通的老师和职工一直关心着你们、爱着你们!最后，我们在抓好期末复习的同时，每一位同学应一如既往地遵守好学校的课堂常规，做到上课不说话，不做小动作。

巴菲特的一次演讲（一）我想先讲几分钟的套话，然后我就主要来接受你们的提问。

我想谈的是你们的所思所想。

我鼓励你们给我出难题，畅所欲言，言无不尽。

（原文：我希望你们扔些高难度的球，如果你们的投球带些速度的话，我回答起来会更有兴致）你们几乎可以问任何问题，除了上个礼拜的Texas A&M的大学橄榄球赛，那超出我所能接受的极限了。

我们这里来了几个SunTrust（译者注：美国一家大型商业银行）的人。

我刚刚参加完Coca Cola的股东大会（译者注：Warren Buffet的投资公司是Coca Cola的长期大股东之一），我坐在吉米●威廉姆斯边上。

吉米领导了SunTrust多年。

吉米一定让我穿上这件SunTrust的T恤到这来。

我一直试着让老年高尔夫联盟给我赞助，但是都无功而返。

没想到我在SunTrust这，却做的不错。

吉米说，基于SunTrust存款的增长，我会得到一定比例的酬劳。

所以我为SunTrust鼓劲。

（译者注：巴菲特在开玩笑）关于你们走出校门后的前程，我在这里只想讲一分钟。

你们在这里已经学了很多关于投资方面的知识，你们学会如何做好事情，你们有足够的IQ能做好，你们也有动力和精力来做好，否则你们就不会在这里了。

你们中的许多人都将最终实现你们的理想。

但是在智能和能量之外，还有更多的东西来决定你是否成功，我想谈谈那些东西。

实际上，在我们Omaha（译者注：Berkshire Hathaway公司的总部所在地）有一位先生说，当他雇人时，他会看三个方面：诚信，智能，和精力。

雇一个只有智能和精力，却没有诚信的人会毁了雇者。

一个没有诚信的人，你只能希望他愚蠢和懒惰，而不是聪明和精力充沛。

我想谈的是第一点，因为我知道你们都具备后两点。

在考虑这个问题时，请你们和我一起玩玩这个游戏。

你们现在都是在MBA的第二年，所以你们对自己的同学也应该都了解了。

现在我给你们一个来买进10％的你的一个同学的权利，一直到他的生命结束。

哈佛大学毕业典礼上的英语演讲稿——改变你的人生轨迹Ladies and gentlemen,Today is a very special day, not only for the graduatesbut also for their parents, friends, and families who have supported them in their long journey towards this momentous occasion. You have all gathered here in this prestigious institution, Harvard University, to celebrate the accomplishments of these young men and women.As we look back at their journey, we can resonate withthe challenges they have faced and the sacrifices they have made to reach this point. They have pushed themselves beyond their limits and have worked very hard to pursue their dreams. Today, they have achieved their goals and are ready to embark on a new journey, a journey that will define their future.As I stand here, I cannot help but reflect on my own journey. Like many of you, I did not have an easy path, but I was determined to change my life trajectory. I understoodthat my destiny was not dictated by my circumstances, but rather by my choices, my attitude, and my perseverance. And this understanding has been instrumental in my journey.Today, I want to share my journey with you, and I hopethat it will inspire you to make the necessary changes inyour life to transform your destiny.Growing up, I was raised in a very humble family. My parents worked tirelessly to provide for us, but we still struggled financially. I knew from a young age that I did not want to live my life like this. I dreamed of going to college, obtaining a degree, and making a better life for myself andmy family.However, my circumstances told a different story. I wasnot an outstanding student, and I had no resources to pursue higher education. I had no connections or access toinfluential people who could help me achieve my dreams.But I was determined to change my story. I took charge of my education by reading extensively, attending seminars and workshops, and seeking advice from experts in various fields.I was relentless in my pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement, and over time, I began to develop the skills and the network that I needed to achieve my goals.It was not an easy journey. There were countless times when I wanted to give up, times when I doubted myself, and times when I was told that I was not good enough. But I held on to my dream and my vision, and I refused to let anyone or anything deter me from my path.And today, I stand before you as a testament to the fact that anything is possible. I have achieved more than I ever thought possible, and I have changed my family's trajectory and my own.My story is not unique, and my journey is one that many of us can relate to. You may have faced similar obstacles and challenges, and you may have doubted your ability to achieve your dreams. But I want to tell you today that you have the power to change your life trajectory.You have the ability to make choices that will lead you towards success, happiness, and fulfillment. You have the strength to persevere and work hard towards your goals, no matter what obstacles you may face. And you have thepotential to transform your circumstances and create a better future for yourself and your loved ones.As you leave this institution and embark on a new journey, I urge you to remember the power that lies within you. Useyour education, your skills, and your passion to make a difference in the world. Believe in yourself and yourabilities, and do not be afraid to take risks and pursue your dreams.You have the potential to change the world, and I cannot wait to see the amazing things that you will accomplish inthe years to come.Thank you, and congratulations to the class of 2021!。
