我就是我3分钟演讲稿
我,隐藏在茫茫人海中。
我既没有柔美的身段,也没有亮丽的双眸,但我有进取的心,有似水的梦怀,有崇高的理想,我坚信腹有诗书气自华。
我,不愿随波逐流。
在《未选择的路》中弗罗斯特曾写过:“黄色的树林里分出两条路,可惜我不能同时去涉足。
”“而我选择了人迹更少的一条,从此决定了我一生的道路。
”只融于大众的我便成为了实实在在的平凡人。
我不愿去走别人庸俗的老路,去过跟别人同样庸俗的生活。
在偷觑他人的同时,也否定了自己。
我,幽默宽容。
我向来不喜欢看别人满面怒容的样子,我认为他人的笑才是天下最美的风景。
所以每天,我都会变成一颗开心果,尽可能地给他们带去欢乐。
“比大地宽阔的是海洋,比海洋宽阔的是天空,比天空宽阔的是人的心灵。
”宽容使狭隘的胸怀容纳百川,所以对待别人的过失,我都付笑谈中。
我,要做自己。
齐白石老先生曾说过;“学我者生,似我者死。
”走不出前人的框架,自然也就不会有自己的天地。
当流行泡沫小说时,我感觉那时在浪费时间,当流行网络游戏时,我感觉那是在虚度青春。
要做自己,看清真实的我,拿出十二分的信心,告诉自己:“我就是我,凭什么跟他一样
”抛掉那些人为的浮华雕饰,亮出自己的王牌,追求自己的个性,做我自己,最好
我,积极进取。
小小的我是一粒沙,但不甘于落后,一生庸碌无为。
我愿做生命的酋长,做一粒不朽的珍珠泪。
路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索。
我渴望朝向艺术之塔,文化之巅,事业之厦,庆功之缘,不负这繁花似锦的时代,留一行扎实稳健的足迹,把美和爱洒向人间……这就是我,风华正茂的我,意气风发的我。
我就是我800字演讲稿
有多久,没有这样一个人走过,带着落漠的心,亲近几近荒芜的灵魂,随笔作文800字.来往,穿梭人海,这颗不曾被发现的心如空气般成了透明. 伸手拉紧心的缰绳,让它放慢奔波的步伐,在这片浓郁的夜色下缓缓挪移,好好享受这久违的自然与惬意.一切都那么安宁,每一颗跳动的心都随之一起一伏,似在诉说着各自的梦,各自的快乐,而我也感到莫名的心安. 今夜的风消匿了踪迹,有太多感情承担不起,逃避未尝不是一条出路.可是,我可以逃吗?夜幕下星空万里,原先清朗的月也化成了远处那些暗淡的云,偷窥这尘世依旧存在的万般情感.而我,早已在进入高三的那天,割裂开灵魂,抽出所有的感情,然后没有一丝留恋的抛开、丢弃了.这,也就是说,我再也不会被感情牵绊,再不会有所谓的无奈了,我的一切,早已碎成一地的泡沫,再也无法拼粘. 几度泪,蒸成思念,朦胧了视线,打湿了记忆,残留在心的一边忘了曾经,忘了自己.未来,还来不及多想,时间已催我起航,只是不知道,我又该驶向何方?岁月,似乎早已历尽沧桑,可我却在此时没了方向,东闯西撞.我这叶流浪的不系之舟面对高三这片波涛汹涌的海域却收起了那锈迹斑斑的船锚,因为掌舵的船长没有了心脏,只是机械般的成长,追逐泡沫般光怪陆离的浮华. 我怀着这样的心,在高三的路上写着匆忙,遗忘一次次安抚着我慌乱的心,然后催我再次起航.为了让那微不足道的梦想绽放,于是这颗疲惫的心又一次扬起帆,驶向远方.多少陷阱,多少伤,多少无奈,多少痛.多少夜,一个人舔蚀着伤口,依旧攀爬在通往大学的山峰处,断了翅膀仍倔强的用双脚去丈量这份梦想. 再没有时间欣赏两岸的风光,在没有精力逐步或奔跑,只是偶尔幻想彩云那端的天堂.这,便是所谓的“高三”?只是恍惚间感觉高三如梦,人生如梦,更不知道在最后梦醒时分,我是否依旧记得这刻骨铭心的感觉. 这短暂的遐想,让我惶恐的心稍稍平缓,苦笑那夏日的沉闷却被秋愈演愈烈.这精神的天空就如一道柔柔的光线,拨开阑珊的夜,送来阵阵清凉,温柔了这视线,这感觉.合上早已如血眸班的眼睛,心中有了这样的想法: “即使沮丧,也要朝着阳光!”
以 我就是我自己的神 演讲稿
我要自己的力量,去一份真于我自己的天空;我要依靠自己的力量,去造就一个自强不息傲然挺立的我;我要依靠自己的力量,用最亮丽的色彩去描绘我人生的蓝图。
——题记置于青春的“高潮期”,美好的时光总是说去就去,抵不过似水流年。
颌首试问岁月,受若于离,何人是我依靠?总是懵懵懂懂地去寻找主宰我人生的神,却愚昧地不知道:我就是我自己的神!我就是我自己的神,就算有失望,但也不会绝望;我就是我自己的神,就算有失败,但也不会永远。
依靠是什么呢?就好比大雄一样,让人不思进取,遇到困难就只懂得依靠自己身后强大的那座山,自从大雄有了多拉A梦后,生活上、学习上都依靠着多拉A梦生活。
倘若没有了多拉A梦就好像鱼儿离开了水一样,失去了生活的能力。
祖国的希望落在了我们跨世纪一代的肩上,让我们摆脱依靠,靠自己的力量去拼搏,相信自己,“我就是我自己的神”!走在彷偟的时间,看晚春落下帷幕。
残红散尽,暗香成阵,风过处,洗白了颜。
坐在窗前,打开记忆的闸门,回首过去,本不应碌碌无为而悔恨,可我并没有依靠自己的力量做过什么,我一直充当着一个诺弱者的身份。
一季的心事,何时寄予兰舟?倘若没有了父母这个依靠,我们还能继续活下去么?依靠渐渐颓唐了,时间告诉了我:我必须摆脱依靠!我不要做微风一吹而翩翩起舞的叶子;我不要做依赖多拉A梦生活的大雄。
我要做一只小鸟,依靠自己的翅膀,自由的在天空中翱翔,我要做鲁兵逊,就算在孤岛上生活也要依靠自己的力量去维持自己的生活。
我要做自己的神,我的人生,不需要任何人来主宰,我要走自己的路,让别人打车去吧!我们都有对生活茫然的时候,伟人之所以能战胜挫折,那是因为在他们身后有强大的靠山?不,不是的,是他们拥有一种以自我为中心,靠自己的力量不断去挑战挫折的态度,他们是神,主宰自己的神!我要向依靠说“NO”!我坚信,我依靠自己的力量也能够像小鸟一样在天空自由地翱翔,我就是我自己的神!
演讲稿我就是这样一个人
我又黑又瘦,一张瓜子脸,一双水汪汪的眼睛像两颗黑葡萄。
唯一美中不足的是,我有一个塌鼻子。
我的爱好是玩电脑。
做完每天的该做的事,我会立刻就跑到电脑前,开始玩电脑。
这天,我像往常一样,跑到电脑前玩游戏。
我最喜欢的游戏就是“”和“”。
我把手放在鼠标上,然后立即盯着屏幕,盯着游戏开始。
我点了点鼠标,自言自语地说:“加油,加油
“过了这一关,你就有100个了
”很快,我过了这一关,我开心地叫了起来:“耶,过咯
接着来了第二关,我又兴奋起来了,好像自己已经在游戏中了。
我不怎么爱笑,也不怎么爱哭,但我是“笑话专卖店”的老板。
哪里有我,哪里的同学都会笑得死去活来。
有一次上课,我开始搞怪。
老师请我和我的一个同学表演,我演的是。
当我的同学对我说:“谢谢你呀,是你救了我的命,太感谢你了
”我回答的却是“没事,没事,我的骨髓多的是,随便拿
”我们全班人都被逗笑了,老师笑得脸都发红了。
这就是我,一个爱搞怪的我,你也和我一样吗

英文演讲稿
帮你找几篇1. Ladies and Gentlemen , Good afternoon! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. today my topic is “youth”. I hope you will like it , and found the importance in your youth so that more cherish it. First I want to ask you some questions: 1、 Do you know what is youth? 2、 How do you master your youth?Youth Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind ; it is not rosy cheeks , red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the emotions : it is the freshness ; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life . Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . Nobody grows old merely by a number of years . We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . Worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust . Whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ‘s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living . In the center of your heart and my heart there’s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young . When the aerials are down , and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old ,even at 20 , but as long as your aerials are up ,to catch waves of optimism , there is hope you may die young at 80. Thank you! 2.Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning! I’m very glad to stand here and give you a short speech. Man’s life is a process of growing up, actually I’m standing here is a growth. If a person’s life must constituted by various choices, then I grow up along with these choices. Once I hope I can study in a college in future, however that’s passed, as you know I come here, now I wonder what the future holds for me. When I come to this school, I told to myself: this my near future, all starts here. Following I will learn to become a man, a integrated man, who has a fine body, can take on important task, has independent thought, an open mind, intensive thought, has the ability to judge right and wrong, has a perfect job. ?? Once my teacher said :” you are not sewing, you are stylist; never forget which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I really grow up. And I deeply believe kindred, good-fellowship and love will perfection and happy in the future. ?? How to say future? Maybe it’s a nice wish. Lets make up our minds, stick to it and surely well enjoy our life. 中文大意:女士们,先生们,上午好。
我很高兴在这里为大家作一个简短的讲话。
人的一生是一个成长的过程,事实上,我现在站在这里也是一次成长。
如果一个人的一生必须面临不同的选择,那么我就是伴随着这些选择成长起来的。
曾经我盼望将来能上大学,然而那已经过去了,现在我在这儿,只想知道我的未来会是什么样的。
当我来到这所学校,我告诉我自己:我不久的将来都从这里开始。
接着我要学习如何做人,如何做一个正直的人,并且拥有一个健康的体魄,能承担重要的任务,能独立思考,思想开放,心思缜密,有判断是非的能力,有一份不错的工作。
我的老师曾经告诉我说:“你不是在修补而是在创造;永远不要忘记你向人们所展示的是你的思想,而不是你的手艺。
”我会将我的性格,兴趣爱好和能力一起融入到学习中去。
在这过程中,我边学习边实践。
如果我能实现这个“未来”,我就认为我真的成长了。
并且我深信我的亲人,好朋友以及爱会使我的未来更完美,更幸福。
如何来解释未来呢? 也许那只是一个美好的愿望。
让我们下定决心,坚持到底,那我们的人生一定能过得很精彩。
3 My Definition of Success “Once upon a time, there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince... Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line And they live happily every after.Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term success, to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.Thank you.译文:成功之我见 “很久以前,有个国王,他的女儿貌美如花。
老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战,而每一项任务都异常艰巨,几乎不可能完成。
一天,来了一位年轻英俊的王子……”好了,下面的故事你们都知道了。
三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同,但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关,得到了公主的芳心。
而故事的结局也都一样,最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢?这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复?我想,因为它是典型的成功的例子。
故事的思想性很强,具有代表性。
通过故事带给我们的启示,我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一,目标的设定,有如故事里美丽的公主;第二,所遇到的困难和挑战,就像三大任务;第三,克服困难的过程,故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四,就是成功的果实,如同幸福的婚姻。
这个故事不仅迎合了人们内心深处对成功的向往,也强调了过程和结果的不可分离。
如果通往成功的道路崎岖曲折,那么成功的回报必然硕果累累,反之亦然。
如果一个人继承了父辈的百万家产而生活得轻松富足,那么,即使在物质上,他也不能算是个成功人士,因为,他的财富并没有经过艰难困苦而获得。
确切地说,“成功”这个词,不是个静态简单的定义。
在我的理解中,真正意义上的成功是奋斗的过程和经历了奋斗之后赢得的满意的结果。
请让我另举一例来阐明我的见解。
如果我们试着改变足球的比赛规则,将球门放得很大,换下大卫·希曼或其他任何的守门员,这样,随便哪个“大卫”,比如说,“大卫·贝克汉姆”,就可以轻松进球,然而这样进一球却不能给他带来成功的震颤与喜悦。
如果我们再改一改比赛规则,不让阿森纳队的防守来守门,那么,贝克汉姆只要动动手,其实就是抬抬脚就能进一球,那样的话、,实际上也没有什么比赛可言了,因为赢球的意义已经不存在了。
在接受挑战、克服困难和经历磨难的过程中,“成功”的价值才得以丰满。
取得成果的意义和所克服的艰难的程度成正比。
所谓成功的概念不是一成不变的.而昙相对而言的,因为困难的性质也是相对意义上的。
正常人不费力气做成的事对于一个残疾人来说也许相当困难。
获得了同正常人一样的能力,这个残疾人就获得了成功。
这便是我们为什么崇敬史蒂芬·霍金的原因—虽然行动不便,受到了轮椅的限制,他依然为科学界作出了巨大的贡献。
就我自己而言,生性羞涩,容易怯场,不得不鼓起非常大的勇气来参加此次的演讲比赛。
我完全可以待在一边,不参加大学级别的比赛,而落得轻松自在。
可是,我还是选择了接受这一挑战来面对困难。
现在我来了,如果我能够得第一的话.这对我来说就是巨大的成功。
如果,我是最后一名—我希望情况不是这样—但如果我真的是最后一名,我也不会认为这次的尝试是一次失败,反而我要把它当作一次真正的成功来庆贺,因为我一部分的目标是对自己性格的锻炼—更加坚强、勇敢地面对困难。
对我来说,这标志着我在通向成功人生的漫漫征途中又向前迈进了一步,尽管是很小的一步,但是我确实通过参与真正地获得了收益。
回到我们年轻英俊的王子和对“成功”的四步骤定义上吧,您也许已经注意到了财富、地位和名誉等这些世俗的标准在故事中并未提及,相反故事强调了克服重重困难的过程。
古代的智慧已经对成功的意义下了定义,这也是我的定义。
谢谢!
英语演讲稿
I was convinced that the only thing I wanted to do, ever, was to write novels. However, my parents, both of whom came from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that could never pay a mortgage, or secure a pension.当时,我只想去写小说。
但是,我的父母出身贫寒,没有受过大学教育。
他们认为,我那些不安分的想象力只是一种怪癖,根本不能用来还房贷,或者挣来养老金。
They had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English Literature. A compromise was reached that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents’ car rounded the corner at the end of the road than I ditched German and scuttled off down the Classics corridor.他们希望我再去读个专业学位,而我想去攻读英国文学。
最后,达成了一个双方都不甚满意的妥协:我改学外语。
可是等到父母一走开,我立刻报名学习古典文学。
I cannot remember telling my parents that I was studying Classics; they might well have found out for the first time on graduation day. Of all subjects on this planet, I think they would have been hard put to name one less useful than Greek mythology when it came to securing the keys to an executive bathroom.我不记得将这事告诉了父母。
他们可能是在毕业典礼那一天才发现的。
我想,在全世界的所有专业中,他们也许认为,不会有比研究希腊神话更没用的专业了,根本无法换来一间独立的宽敞卫生间。
I would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that I do not blame my parents for their point of view. ... I cannot criticise my parents for hoping that I would never experience poverty. They had been poor themselves, and I have since been poor, and I quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. Climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools. 我要申明,我并不责怪父母。
……他们只是希望我不要过穷日子,我不能批评他们。
他们自己很穷,我后来一度也很穷,所以我很理解他们,贫穷是一种悲惨的经历。
它带来恐惧、压力、有时还有抑郁。
它意味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。
靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷,确实让人自豪,但是只有傻瓜才会将贫穷本身浪漫化。
接着,她谈到了自己那些最悲惨的日子:A mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. 我毕业后只过了7年,就失败得一塌糊涂。
An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. 短命的婚姻闪电般地破裂,我还失业了,成了一个艰难的单身母亲。
除了流浪汉,我是当代英国最穷的人之一,真的一无所有。
我父母对我的担忧,我对自己的担忧,都变成了现实。
用平常人的标准,我是我所知道的最失败的人。
That period of my life was a dark one. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.那段日子是我生命中的黑暗岁月。
我不知道还要在黑暗中走多久,很长一段时间中,我有的只是希望,而不是现实。
但是,J.K. 罗琳认为,没有那段日子的失败,就不会有后来的她。
So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. 为什么我说失败是有好处的
因为失败将那些非本质的东西都剥离了。
我不再伪装自己,我找到了真正的我,我将自己所有的精力,投入完成对我最重要的唯一一项工作。
Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. 要是我以前在其他地方成功了,那么我也许永远不会有这样的决心,投身于这个我自信真正属于我的领域。
I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realised, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.我自由了,因为我最大的恐惧已经成为现实,而我却还依然活着,依然有一个深爱着的女儿,我还有一台旧打字机和一个大大的梦想。
我生命中最低的低点,成为我重建生活的坚实基础。
Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above rubies. 失败使我的内心产生一种安全感,以前通过考试也没有的安全感。
失败让我看清自己,以前我从没认识到自己是这样的。
我发现,我比自己以为的,有更强的意志和决心。
我还发现,我有一些比宝石更珍贵的朋友。
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.只有到逆境来临的那一天,你才会真正了解你自己,了解你结识的人。
这种了解是真正的财富,虽然是用痛苦换来的,但是它比我以前得到的任何证书都有用。
在演说的下半部分,她还谈了毕业后在大*赦*国*际(Amnesty International)伦敦总部的第一份工作。
这部分内容也很精彩,不过我就不翻译了,大家可以去看原文。
三、我要重点谈的,是演说的结尾部分。
一般来说,在演讲结束时,嘉宾将对毕业生提出期望。
我们可以看到,在这种场合,几乎所有嘉宾,都没有说“祝愿同学们取得个人成功”,而是说“希望同学们努力去减轻人类的苦难”。
比尔·盖茨去年说:Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world's worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water …the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure?哈佛是否鼓励她的老师去研究解决世界上最严重的不平等
哈佛的学生是否从全球那些极端的贫穷中学到了什么……世界性的饥荒……清洁的水资源的缺乏……无法上学的女童……死于非恶性疾病的儿童……哈佛的学生有没有从中学到东西
Should the world's most privileged people learn about the lives of the world's least privileged?那些世界上过着最优越生活的人们,有没有从那些最困难的人们身上学到东西
These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your policies.这些问题并非语言上的修辞。
你必须用自己的行动来回答它们。
When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given – in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world has a right to expect from us.想一想吧,我们在这个院子里的这些人,被给予过什么——天赋、特权、机遇——那么可以这样说,全世界的人们几乎有无限的权力,期待我们做出贡献。
J.K.罗琳今年说:the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average person’s idea of success, so high have you already flown academically.你们是哈佛毕业生的这个事实,说明你们并不很了解失败。
你们也许极其渴望成功,所以非常害怕失败。
说实话,你们眼中的失败,很可能就是普通人眼中的成功,毕竟你们在学业上已经很成功了。
But how much more are you, Harvard graduates of 2008, likely to touch other people’s lives? Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received, give you unique status, and unique responsibilities.…… That is your privilege, and your burden.但是,所有各位哈佛大学2008届毕业生,你们对其他人的生活了解多少
你们的智慧、你们的能力、你们所受的教育,给了你们独一无二的优势,也给了你们独一无二的责任。
……你们的优势就是你们的责任。
If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better. 你们要用自己的地位和影响,为那些被忽略的人们说话;你们不仅要看到那些有权有势者,也要看到那些无权无势者;你们要学会设想,那些条件不如你们的人们是如何生活的;那样的话,不仅你们的亲人们将为你们感到自豪,而且千千万万的人们将因为你们的帮助而生活得更好。
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.我们不需要改变世界的魔法,我们自己的体内就有这样的力量:那就是我们一直在梦想,让这个世界变得更美好。
