毕业典礼精彩两分钟英语演讲稿范文五篇
英语演讲稿1
For your generation, there’s an incredible amount of pressure on all of you to succeed, particularly now that you have accomplished so much. You’re whole generation faces this pressure. I see it in my grandchildren who are honors students at other Ivy universities right now. You race to do what
others think is right in high school. You raced through the bloodsport of college admissions. You raced through Yale for the next big thing. And all along, some of you compare yourself to the success of your peers on Facebook, Instagram, Linked-In, Twitter.
Today, some of you may have found that you slipped into the self-
referential bubble that validates certain choices. And the bubble expands once you leave this campus, the pressures and anxiousness, as well -- take this job, make that much money, live in this place, hang out with people like you, take no real risks and have no real impact, while getting paid for the false sense
of both.
But resist that temptation to rationalize what others view is the right choice for you -— instead of what you feel in your gut is the right choice —
- that’s your North Star. Trust it. Follow it. You're an incredible group of young women and men. And that's not hyperbole. You're an incredible group.

Let me con clude with this. I’m not going to moralize about to whom much
is given, much is expected, because most of you have made of yourself much
more than what you’ve been given. But now you are in a privileged position. You’re part of an exceptional generation an d doors will open to you that will not open to others. My Yale Law School grad son graduated very well from Yale Law School. My other son out of loyalty to his deceased mother decided to go
to Syracuse Law School from Penn. They're a year and a day apart in their age. The one who graduated from Yale had doors open to him, the lowest salary
offered back in the early ‘90s was $50,000 more than a federal judge made. My other son, it was a struggle -- equally as bright, went on to be elected one
of the youngest attorney generals in the history of the state of Delaware, the most popular public official in my state. Big headline after the 2021 election, “Biden Most Popular Man in Delaware -- Beau.” Laughter.
And as your parents will understand, my dad’s defini tion of success is when you look at your son and daughter and realize they turned out better than you, and they did. But you’ll have opportunities. Make the most of them and follow your heart. You have the intellectual horsepower to make things better
in the world around you.
You’re also part of the most tolerant generation in history. I got
roundly criticized because I could not remain quiet anymore about gay marriage. The one thing I was certain of is all of your generation was way beyond that point. Applause.

Here’s something else I observed -- intellectual horsepower and tolerance alone does not make a generation great: unless you can break out of the bubble of your own making -— technologically, geographically, racially, and socioeconomically -— to truly connect with the world around you. Because it matters.
No matter what your material success or personal circumstance, it matters. You can't breathe fresh air or protect your children from a changing climate
no matter what you make. If your sister is the victim of domestic violence,
you are violated. If your brother can’t marry the man he loves, you are lessened. And if your best friend has to worry about being racially profiled, you live in a circumstance not worthy of us. Applause. It matters.
So be successful. I sincerely hope some of you become millionaires and billionaires. I mean that. But engage the world around you because you will be more successful and happier. And you can absolutely succeed in life without sacrificing y our ideals or your commitments to others and family. I’m
confident that you can do that, and I’m confident that this generation will
do it more than any other.
Look to your left, as they say, and look to your right. And remember how foolish the people next to you look -- laughter -- in those ridiculous hats. Laughter. That’s what I want you to remember. I mean this. Because it means you’ve learned something from a great tradition.

It means you’re willing to look foolish, you’re willing to run the risk
of looking foolish in the service of what matters to you. And if you remember
