大學(xué)英文畢業(yè)典禮演講稿
madam president faust, members of the harvard corporation and the board of overseers,faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates,
尊敬的faust校長(zhǎng),哈佛集團(tuán)的各位成員,監(jiān)管理事會(huì)的各位理事,各位老師,各位家長(zhǎng),各位朋友,以及最重要的各位畢業(yè)生同學(xué),
thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you.
感謝你們,讓我有機(jī)會(huì)同你們一起分享這個(gè)美妙的日子。
i am not sure i can live up to the high standards of harvard commencement speakers. lastyear, j.k. rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced thispodium. the year before, bill gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerdstood here. today, sadly, you have me. i am not wealthy, but at least i am a nerd.
我不太肯定,自己夠得上哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮演講人這樣的殊榮。去年登上這個(gè)講臺(tái)的是,英國(guó)億萬(wàn)身家的小說(shuō)家j.k. rowling女士,她最早是一個(gè)古典文學(xué)的學(xué)生。前年站在這里的是比爾?蓋茨先生,他是一個(gè)超級(jí)富翁、一個(gè)慈善家和電腦高手。今年很遺憾,你們的演講人是我,雖然我不是很有錢,但是至少我也算一個(gè)高手。
i am grateful to receive an honorary degree from harvard, an honor that means more to methan you might care to imagine. you see, i was the academic black sheep of my family. myolder brother has an m.d./ph.d. from mit and harvard while my younger brother has a lawdegree from harvard. when i was awarded a nobel prize, i thought my mother would besatisfied. not so. when i called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, 'that'snice, but when are you going to visit me ne_t.' now, as the last brother with a degree fromharvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.
我很感激哈佛大學(xué)給我榮譽(yù)學(xué)位,這對(duì)我很重要,也許比你們會(huì)想到的還要重要。要知道,在學(xué)術(shù)上,我是我們家的不肖之子。我的哥哥在麻省理工學(xué)院得到醫(yī)學(xué)博士,在哈佛大學(xué)得到哲學(xué)博士;我的弟弟在哈佛大學(xué)得到一個(gè)法律學(xué)位。我本人得到諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)的時(shí)候,我想我的媽媽會(huì)高興。但是,我錯(cuò)了。消息公布的那天早上,我給她打電話,她聽了只說(shuō):'這是好消息,不過(guò)我想知道,你下次什么時(shí)候來(lái)看我?'如今在我們兄弟當(dāng)中,我最終也拿到了哈佛學(xué)位,我想這一次,她會(huì)感到滿意。
another difficulty with giving a harvard commencement address is that some of you maydisapprove of the fact that i have borrowed material from previous speeches. i ask that youforgive me for two reasons.
在哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表演講,還有一個(gè)難處,那就是你們中有些人可能有意見(jiàn),不喜歡我重復(fù)前人演講中說(shuō)過(guò)的話。我要求你們諒解我,因?yàn)閮蓚€(gè)理由。
first, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. inscience, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more importantto be the last person to make that discovery.
首先,為了產(chǎn)生影響力,很重要的方法就是重復(fù)傳遞同樣的信息。在科學(xué)中,第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)者是重要的,但是在得到公認(rèn)前,最后一個(gè)將這個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)重復(fù)做出來(lái)的人也許更重要。
second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. ralph waldoemerson, who graduated from harvard at the age of 18, noted 'all my best thoughts werestolen by the ancients.' picasso declared 'good artists borrow. great artists steal.' why shouldcommencement speakers be held to a higher standard?
其次,一個(gè)借鑒他人的作者,正走在一條前人開辟的最佳道路上。哈佛大學(xué)畢業(yè)生、詩(shī)人愛(ài)默生曾經(jīng)寫下:'古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。'畫家畢加索宣稱'優(yōu)秀的藝術(shù)家借鑒,偉大的藝術(shù)家偷竊。'那么為什么畢業(yè)典禮的演說(shuō)者,就不適用同樣的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)呢?
i also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would haverejected me, had i the chutzpah to apply. i am married to 'dean jean,' the former dean ofadmissions at stanford. she assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance.when i showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word'rejected.' she never rejected applicants; her letters stated that 'we are unable to offer youadmission.' i have difficulty understanding the difference. after all, deans of admissions ofhighly selective schools are in reality, 'deans of rejection.' clearly, i have a lot to learn aboutmarketing.
我還要指出一點(diǎn),向哈佛畢業(yè)生發(fā)表演說(shuō),對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)是有諷刺意味的,因?yàn)槿绻?dāng)年我斗膽向哈佛大學(xué)遞交入學(xué)申請(qǐng),一定會(huì)被拒絕。我的妻子jean當(dāng)過(guò)斯坦福大學(xué)的招生主任,她向我保證,如果當(dāng)年我申請(qǐng)斯坦福大學(xué),她會(huì)拒絕我。我把這篇演講的草稿給她過(guò)目,她強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)我使用'拒絕'這個(gè)詞,她從來(lái)不拒絕任何申請(qǐng)者。在拒絕信中,她總是寫:'我們無(wú)法提供你入學(xué)機(jī)會(huì)。'我分不清兩者到底有何差別。在我看來(lái),那些大熱門學(xué)校的招生主任與其稱為'準(zhǔn)許你入學(xué)的主任',還不如稱為'拒絕你入學(xué)的主任'。很顯然,我需要好好學(xué)學(xué)怎么來(lái)推銷自己。
my address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. the firstmovement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. this ne_t movement consists ofunsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. as oscar wildesaid, 'the only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. it is never of any use to oneself.'so, here comes the advice. first, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful tothose who made it possible. thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank yourprofessors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. going forward, the ability to teach yourself is thehallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. to your fellowstudents who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions,hug them. also, of course, thank harvard. should you forget, there's an alumni association toremind you. second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. in all negotiations, don'tbargain for the last, little advantage. leave the change on the table. in your collaborations,always remember that 'credit' is not a conserved quantity. in a successful collaboration,everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.
畢業(yè)典禮演講都遵循古典奏鳴曲的結(jié)構(gòu),我的演講也不例外。剛才是第一樂(lè)章----輕快的閑談。接下來(lái)的第二樂(lè)章是送上門的忠告。這樣的忠告很少被重視,幾乎注定被忘記,永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)被實(shí)踐。但是,就像王爾德說(shuō)的:'對(duì)于忠告,你所能做的,就是把它送給別人,因?yàn)樗鼘?duì)你沒(méi)有任何用處。'所以,下面就是我的忠告。第一,取得成就的時(shí)候,不要忘記前人。要感謝你的父母和支持你的朋友,要感謝那些啟發(fā)過(guò)你的教授,尤其要感謝那些上不好課的教授,因?yàn)樗麄兤仁鼓阕詫W(xué)。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)看,自學(xué)能力是優(yōu)秀的文理教育中必不可少的,將成為你成功的關(guān)鍵。你還要去擁抱你的同學(xué),感謝他們同你進(jìn)行過(guò)的許多次徹夜長(zhǎng)談,這為你的教育帶來(lái)了無(wú)法衡量的價(jià)值。當(dāng)然,你還要感謝哈佛大學(xué)。不過(guò)即使你忘了這一點(diǎn),校友會(huì)也會(huì)來(lái)提醒你。第二,在你們未來(lái)的人生中,做一個(gè)慷慨大方的人。在任何談判中,都把最后一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)利益留給對(duì)方。不要把桌上的錢都拿走。在合作中,要牢記榮譽(yù)不是一個(gè)守恒的量。成功合作的任何一方,都應(yīng)獲得全部榮譽(yù)的90%。

大學(xué)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的會(huì)員,老師,家長(zhǎng),尤其是畢業(yè)生:我很榮幸今天站在這里,給這個(gè)演講!我總結(jié)的關(guān)鍵詞文科和溝通:勤奮、踏實(shí)、實(shí)際、活力、激情和感激學(xué)校的藝術(shù)和溝通是地方滿腔的熱情和活力。這里我們享受高等教育質(zhì)量和快樂(lè)的環(huán)境。我們的學(xué)校讓我們感到親切,這里是一個(gè)溫暖的大家庭,所有的老師都關(guān)心我們講課。家族的成員之一的溝通人才最有智力的人類群體在世界上的更大。我們學(xué)校很友好,學(xué)習(xí)氣氛比較輕松,生動(dòng)的教學(xué)方式擴(kuò)大我們的思想;可選的教學(xué)形式默默地給我們無(wú)數(shù)的發(fā)展空間,讓我們培養(yǎng)自主學(xué)習(xí)能力和探索精神。
而這種能力和精神必須深刻地影響到我們。形成了團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作能力,領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力,腦力激蕩能力和危機(jī)管理能力在無(wú)數(shù)團(tuán)隊(duì)合作,并收獲了友誼,實(shí)現(xiàn)了該組織力量和理解包容,理解和支持。我們成長(zhǎng)的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴。學(xué)校的藝術(shù)品和溝通是很實(shí)際的。我們注重實(shí)際操作能力。通常的新聞靈敏度培訓(xùn)將使扎實(shí)的基本功待會(huì)兒再吃。我們的課程連接市場(chǎng)緊密相聯(lián)。為我們優(yōu)勢(shì)是為了適應(yīng)社會(huì)迅速的畢業(yè)典禮。
我們的主要需要具有深厚的底蘊(yùn),廣闊的視野和扎實(shí)的專業(yè)知識(shí)。4年的研究給我們整體的認(rèn)識(shí)的交流和形成了有關(guān)品質(zhì)。我們的重要性認(rèn)識(shí)不足,積累。這一教育模式重視學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)水平,讓我們整合了全新的文化通過(guò)另一種語(yǔ)言。這可能也能幫助我們了解先進(jìn)的學(xué)者研究和信息更方便。掌握一第二語(yǔ)言更喜歡開著窗戶,放下更多的溝通渠道為我們準(zhǔn)備的。的學(xué)生人數(shù)逐步留學(xué)逐年增加和較高的應(yīng)用成功率是最好的證明。
溝通,這個(gè)詞已經(jīng)不僅僅只代表一個(gè)專業(yè),這里記錄著我們的香蔥年,記錄在我們的青春時(shí)光的記憶;有笑,流淚,努力,幻想的希望和每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)我們聚會(huì)。美國(guó)第43任總統(tǒng)——喬治·w·布什說(shuō),在耶魯大學(xué)的畢業(yè)典禮:“我們開始了解你的生活是我們用來(lái)生活,而不是浪費(fèi)。我們的目標(biāo)是最大的回報(bào)盡情不快,——那些我們愛(ài)與企業(yè)家,值得我們?nèi)奚蔽覀兊臏贤ǖ娜擞羞@樣的特殊的特征。通訊人就是愛(ài)生活,都必存活、且將生活講課。
“光榮與夢(mèng)想”是我們的口號(hào)。我們用陽(yáng)光笑容在面對(duì),接受與廣大的`心,抵制孤獨(dú)和的誘惑的堅(jiān)韌不拔的精神雜草,永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄追蹤我們的夢(mèng)想。在四年了,我們過(guò)著忙碌的富裕的生活。我們已經(jīng)建立了一個(gè)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)膽B(tài)度逐漸,鍛煉了獨(dú)立思考的能力。我們變的強(qiáng)大的風(fēng)風(fēng)雨雨,成為勇敢和學(xué)會(huì)面對(duì)。
一個(gè)溝通的必要的素質(zhì)的人不受干擾地完成工作。處理事情在有限的時(shí)間盡可能的、完整的優(yōu)秀的效率高。這其實(shí)是一種安排的組合游戲,訂購(gòu)根據(jù)失敗的重要學(xué)位,然后一個(gè)又一個(gè)。四年的大學(xué)生活幫助我了解如何合理安排時(shí)間,如何利用零碎時(shí)間,如何使我怎么能合理規(guī)劃和歡快的玩和學(xué)習(xí)效率。我認(rèn)為我們學(xué)校回憶主要都與充沛的精力和中間智慧。它可能的生活使人興奮,讓人膽怯,有時(shí)甚至?xí)械叫箽?,但永遠(yuǎn)充滿了挑戰(zhàn)。這是一種吸引人的特殊待遇。
我改變了我的哈佛求學(xué)過(guò)程中,在這里結(jié)識(shí)的朋友、發(fā)展起來(lái)的一些想法,永遠(yuǎn)地改變了我。哈佛大學(xué)的第27屆總統(tǒng)——-lawrence曾經(jīng)說(shuō):“從“需要”到“給”,從“思考““選定”,從依賴別人保持獨(dú)立,這是山峰。它也是開始的時(shí)候,讓重要的過(guò)度期?!被叵肫鹞业拇髮W(xué)生活,所有的辛苦我paiday,痛苦與磨難只能算作一些小麻煩。而一切的焦點(diǎn)馬上進(jìn)行,現(xiàn)在的每一天都給自己未來(lái)的回報(bào)。我喜歡的地方的海邊,我喜歡聽海浪的聲音,我喜歡尋找潮流輪流。
學(xué)校的藝術(shù)品和交流是北京師范大學(xué)珠海分校的地方,值得我們做了很多努力,承受許多壓力,爭(zhēng)取成功。只要讓每一位步伐穩(wěn)健,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己重生新鮮!從年齡看學(xué)校的藝術(shù)品和交流還是個(gè)孩子;我們是她的第二屆畢業(yè)生。在這個(gè)畢業(yè)的時(shí)候,我希望我們的大學(xué)能夠變得越來(lái)越強(qiáng)大。告別美麗的校園,說(shuō)再見(jiàn)的可愛(ài)的老師和朋友,我們把每個(gè)人的希望和祝福繼續(xù)神話的溝通!謝謝你父母的支持和信任,您辛苦了!謝謝我們的可愛(ài)的老師,你拿無(wú)知的我們進(jìn)入媒體輝煌的宮殿。
感謝我的朋友們,你讓我每一步平靜地堅(jiān)定!感謝每一位幫助我們,給我們機(jī)會(huì)!祝你好運(yùn)!每個(gè)人!good luck!everyone!
第4篇 中英文畢業(yè)典禮演講稿
中英文畢業(yè)典禮演講稿
graduates of yale university, i apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but i want you to do something for me. please, take a ood look around you. look at the classmate on your left. look at the classmate on your right. now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. the person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. and you, in the middle? what can you e_pect? loser. loserhood. loser cum laude.
'in fact, as i look out before me today, i dont see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. i dont see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. i see a thousand losers.
'youre upset. thats understandable. after all, how can i, lawrence larry ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nations most prestigious institutions? ill tell you why. because i, lawrence 'larry' ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not.
'because bill gates, richest man on the planet -- for now, anyway -- is a college dropout, and you are not.
'because paul allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not.
'and for good measure, because michael dell, no. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
'hmm . . . youre very upset. thats understandable. so let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. most of you, i imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what youve learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. youve established good work habits. youve established a network of people that will help you down the road. and youve established what will be lifelong relationships with the word therapy. all that of is good. for in truth, you will need that network. you will need those strong work habits. you will need that therapy.
'you will need them because you didnt drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to no. 10 or no. 11, like steve ballmer. but then, i dont have to tell you who he really works for, do i? and for the record, he dropped out of grad school. bit of a late bloomer.
'finally, i realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, are wondering, is there anything i can do? is there any hope for me at all? actually, no. its too late. youve absorbed too much, think you know too much. youre not 19 anymore. you have a built-in cap, and im not referring to the mortar boards on your heads.
'hmm... youre really very upset. thats understandable. so perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. not for you, class of 00. you are a write-off, so ill let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago.
'instead, i want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. i say to you, and i cant stress this enough: leave. pack your things and your ideas and dont come back. drop out. start up.
'for i can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . .'
(at this point the oracle ceo was ushered off stage.)

耶魯?shù)漠厴I(yè)生們,我很抱歉——如果你們不喜歡這樣的開場(chǎng)。我想請(qǐng)你們?yōu)槲易鲆患?。?qǐng)你---好好看一看周圍,看一看站在你左邊的同學(xué),看一看站在你右邊的同學(xué)。
請(qǐng)你設(shè)想這樣的情況:從現(xiàn)在起5年之后,2017年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左邊的這個(gè)人會(huì)是一個(gè)失敗者;右邊的這個(gè)人,同樣,也是個(gè)失敗者。而你,站在中間的家伙,你以為會(huì)怎樣?一樣是失敗者。失敗的'經(jīng)歷。失敗的優(yōu)等生。
說(shuō)實(shí)話,今天我站在這里,并沒(méi)有看到一千個(gè)畢業(yè)生的燦爛未來(lái)。我沒(méi)有看到一千個(gè)行業(yè)的一千名卓越領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者,我只看到了一千個(gè)失敗者。你們感到沮喪,這是可以理解的。為什么,我,埃里森,一個(gè)退學(xué)生,竟然在美國(guó)最具聲望的學(xué)府里這樣厚顏地散布異端?我來(lái)告訴你原因。因?yàn)椋?,埃里森,這個(gè)行星上第二富有的人,是個(gè)退學(xué)生,而你不是。因?yàn)楸葼?蓋茨,這個(gè)行星上最富有的人——就目前而言---是個(gè)退學(xué)生,而你不是。因?yàn)榘瑐?,這個(gè)行星上第三富有的人,也退了學(xué),而你沒(méi)有。再來(lái)一點(diǎn)證據(jù)吧,因?yàn)榇鳡?,這個(gè)行星上第九富有的人——他的排位還在不斷上升,也是個(gè)退學(xué)生。而你,不是。
你們非常沮喪,這是可以理解的。
你們將來(lái)需要這些有用的工作習(xí)慣。你將來(lái)需要這種治療。你需要它們,因?yàn)槟銢](méi)輟學(xué),所以你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成為世界上最富有的人。哦,當(dāng)然,你可以,也許,以你的方式進(jìn)步到第10位,第11位,就像steve。但,我沒(méi)有告訴你他在為誰(shuí)工作,是吧?
根據(jù)記載,他是研究生時(shí)輟的學(xué),開化得稍晚了些。
現(xiàn)在,我猜想你們中間很多人,也許是絕大多數(shù)人,正在琢磨,我能做什么? 我究竟有沒(méi)有前途?當(dāng)然沒(méi)有。太晚了,你們已經(jīng)吸收了太多東西,以為自己懂得太多。你們?cè)僖膊皇?9歲了。你們有了內(nèi)置的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你們腦袋上的學(xué)位帽。
嗯......你們已經(jīng)非常沮喪啦。這是可以理解的。所以,現(xiàn)在可能是討論實(shí)質(zhì)的時(shí)候啦——
絕不是為了你們,2016年畢業(yè)生。你們已經(jīng)被報(bào)銷,不予考慮了。我想,你們就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20萬(wàn)的可憐工作吧,在那里,工資單是由你兩年前輟學(xué)的同班同學(xué)簽字開出來(lái)的。事實(shí)上,我是寄希望于眼下還沒(méi)有畢業(yè)的同學(xué)。我要對(duì)他們說(shuō),離開這里。收拾好你的東西,帶著你的點(diǎn)子,別再回來(lái)。退學(xué)吧,開始行動(dòng)。
我要告訴你,一頂帽子一套學(xué)位服必然要讓你淪落,就像這些保安馬上要把我從這個(gè)講臺(tái)上攆走一樣必然。(此時(shí),larry被帶離了講臺(tái))
第5篇 精彩英文畢業(yè)典禮演講
在美國(guó)大學(xué)畢業(yè)季里,畢業(yè)典禮上有很多激勵(lì)人心的時(shí)刻,有很多精彩的演講讓我們受益匪淺,現(xiàn)在讓我們來(lái)欣賞一下關(guān)于精彩英文畢業(yè)典禮演講吧。
1. 史蒂芬·喬布斯 steve jobs
蘋果電腦首席執(zhí)行官,2022年6月12日畢業(yè)于斯坦福大學(xué)
remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. you are already naked. there is no reason not to follow your heart.your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. they somehow already know what you truly want to become. everything else is secondary。
記著你總會(huì)死去,這是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳辦法。赤條條來(lái)去無(wú)牽掛,還有什么理由不隨你的心?!你的時(shí)間是有限的,因此不要把時(shí)間浪費(fèi)在過(guò)別人的生活上。不要被教條所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要讓他人的意見(jiàn)淹沒(méi)了你自己內(nèi)心的聲音。最重要的是,要有勇氣跟隨你的內(nèi)心與直覺(jué),它們好歹已經(jīng)知道你真正想讓自己成為什么。其他的,都是次要的。

小說(shuō)家, 2022年5月21日畢業(yè)于肯尼恩學(xué)院
there are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “morning, boys. how's the water?” and the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “what the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“this is water。”“this is water。”it is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。
有兩條小魚一起在水里游,碰到一條老魚迎面游過(guò)來(lái)。老魚向他們點(diǎn)點(diǎn)頭,并說(shuō):“早上好,孩子們。水怎么樣?”這兩條小魚繼續(xù)往前游了一會(huì)兒后,其中一條小魚實(shí)在忍不住了,看了一下另一條小魚,問(wèn)道:“水到底是什么東西?”……簡(jiǎn)單的意識(shí);對(duì)我們生活中如此真實(shí)、如此必不可少、無(wú)處不在、無(wú)時(shí)不在的事物的意識(shí),需要我們一遍一遍地提醒自己:“這是水?!薄斑@是水?!碧焯於急3忠庾R(shí)清醒而鮮活,在成人世界中做到這點(diǎn),是不可想象地難。
3. michael uslan 邁克爾·奧斯蘭
電影制片人,2022年5月6日畢業(yè)于印第安納大學(xué)
you must believe in yourself and in your work. when our first batman movie broke all those bo_-office records, i received a phone call from that united artists e_ec who, years before, had told me i was out of my mind. now he said, “michael, i'm just calling to congratulate you on the success of batman. i always said you were a visionary?!?you see the point here — don't believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don't believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. just believe in yourself and you'll do just fine. and, oh yes, don't then forget to market yourself and your ideas. use both sides of your brain.you must have a high threshold for frustration. take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in hollywood. you must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. doors will slam in your face. you must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. it's the only way to achieve your goals in life。
你必須相信你自己,對(duì)自己的工作充滿信心。當(dāng)我們的第一部電影《蝙蝠俠》創(chuàng)下史無(wú)前例的票房紀(jì)錄時(shí),我接到了藝術(shù)家聯(lián)合會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)的電話,他在數(shù)年之前曾說(shuō)我瘋了。如今他說(shuō):“邁克爾,我給你打電話祝賀《蝙蝠俠》的成功。我總說(shuō)你是一位有遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)的人。”你看,關(guān)鍵在這里,當(dāng)他們說(shuō)你有多差,你的想法有多糟的時(shí)候,不要信他們的話,同時(shí),當(dāng)他們告訴你你有多么了不起,你的想法多美妙時(shí),也不要相信他們。你就只相信你自己,這樣你就能做好。還有,那就是,不要忘記推銷你自己和你的想法。左右大腦你都得用。要能經(jīng)受得住挫敗。這是被好萊塢每一家制片廠拒絕過(guò)的人的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。你必須去敲一扇扇的門,直到指關(guān)節(jié)流血。大門會(huì)在你面前砰然關(guān)上,你必須重振旗鼓,彈去身上的灰塵,再敲下一扇門。這是實(shí)現(xiàn)你人生目標(biāo)的唯一辦法。
4. woody hayes 伍迪·海耶斯
大學(xué)橄欖球教練,1986年5月14日畢業(yè)于俄亥俄州立大學(xué)
in football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. we had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. and that’s what people have to do, too — make sure they don't beat themselves.... you'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. as a matter of fact, i never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. never。
在橄欖球場(chǎng)上,我們總是說(shuō)其他隊(duì)?wèi)?zhàn)勝不了我們。我們必須做到不把自己打垮。所有人也都必須這么做,確保自己不要被自己打垮?!銜?huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),來(lái)得容易的東西總是一文不值。事實(shí)上,我從來(lái)沒(méi)有看到哪位橄欖球運(yùn)動(dòng)員是帶著微笑完成阻截的。從來(lái)沒(méi)有。
5. bradley whitford 布蘭德利·惠特福德
演員,2022年5月17日畢業(yè)于威斯康辛大學(xué)麥迪遜分校
number one: fall in love with the process and the results will follow.number two: do your work.number three: once you're prepared, throw your preparation in the trash.number four: you are capable of more than you think.number five: listen.number si_: take action.you have a choice. you can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair。
第一,愛(ài)上過(guò)程,結(jié)果自然會(huì)來(lái)。第二,做你的事。第三,一旦準(zhǔn)備好,就付諸行動(dòng)。第四,你能做的,超出了你的想象。第五,聆聽。第六,采取行動(dòng)。你有一個(gè)選擇。要么你成為環(huán)境的被動(dòng)受害者,要么你主動(dòng)成為自己生活的英雄。行動(dòng)可以消除冷漠、玩世不恭與絕望。
