　 喬布斯 (Steve Jobs)

　杰夫 · 貝佐斯 (Jeff Bezos)

　K JK 羅琳

　奧普拉 (Oprah)

　Ellen DeGeneres

　最近看了不少英文演講視頻，發現國外大學畢業典禮的演講大多很精彩。這些演講通常用詞正式，發音清晰，內容也很連貫，而且很有啟發性，所以不論從什么角度來說都是不可多得的資源。

　1. 喬布斯(Steve Jobs)在斯坦福畢業典禮的演講——Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

　摘錄：

　When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: ”If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”And whenever the answer has been”No”for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. 當我十七歲的時候，我讀到了一句話:“如果你把每一天都當作生命中最后一天去生活的話，那么有一天你會發現你是正確的。”這句話給我留下了深刻的印象。從那時開始，過了33年，我在每天早晨都會對著鏡子問自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，你會不會完成你今天想做的事情呢？”當答案連續很多次被給予“不是”的時候，我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。

　2. 杰夫·貝佐斯(Jeff Bezos)在普林斯頓畢業典禮的演講——We are our choices.

　摘錄：

　I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be

　haunted by a decision to not try at all. 我認為我不會為失敗地嘗試而遺憾，但是有所決定但完全不去付諸行動則可能會一直煎熬著我。

　Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions? 你們是被慣性所引導，還是追隨自己內心的熱情？ Will you follow dogma, or will you be original? 你們會墨守陳規，還是勇于創新？ Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions? 你們會屈從于批評，還是會堅守信念？ Will you bluff it out when you’re wrong, or will you apologize? 你們會掩飾錯誤，還是會坦誠道歉？ Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love? 你們會因害怕拒絕而掩飾內心，還是會在面對愛情時勇往直前？ Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling? 你們想要波瀾不驚，還是想要搏擊風浪？ When it’s tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?

　你們會在嚴峻的現實之下選擇放棄，還是會義無反顧地前行？ 3. JK 羅琳在哈佛大學畢業典禮上的演講——As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters

　摘錄：

　Given a time machine or a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes. 如果能回到過去，她會告訴21歲的自己：一個人的幸福在于他懂得——生活不等于你的收獲和成就。你的簡歷，你的證書并不代表你的生活，盡管很多人會混淆著兩者。生活是如此的復雜，任何人都無法掌控它。明白了這一點，你就能夠寵辱不驚. 4. 奧普拉(Oprah)在斯坦福2008年畢業典禮上的演講——Feelings, failure and finding happiness.

　摘錄：

　Now I want to talk a little bit about failings, because nobody’s journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. If things go wrong, you hit a dead end—as you will—it’s just life’s way of saying time to change course. So, ask every failure—this is what I do with every failure, every crisis, every difficult time—I say, what is this here to teach me? And as soon as you get the lesson, you get to

　move on. If you really get the lesson, you pass and you don’t have to repeat the class. If you don’t get the lesson, it shows up wearing another pair of pants—or skirt—to give you some remedial work. 現在我想談談失敗。沒有人他的一生是一帆風順的。我們都會遇到困難，受到挫折。如果事情出錯了，你進入了死胡同，這正是生活在告訴你是時候改變了。所以，每當遇到困難和危機時，我都會問它教會了我什么？只要你吸取了教訓，你就會繼續前進。如果你真正吸取了教訓，你就會順利通過考驗，不用再取經受失敗了。如果你沒有吸取教訓，它會以另外一種形式給出現在你面前并給你一些補救.

　 5. Ellen DeGeneres 在紐奧良大學的畢業典禮——You’re going to be OK

　摘錄：

　So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was “boobies”, by the way? It’s not, it’s “groupies”. But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you’ll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure. to try to be something that you’re not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. to contribute in some way.

　因此，這是不是結論的結論，當我年輕時，對成功的定義不同，我想我的志愿是：我想出名，想當明星，拍電影，我想要去看世界，開名車，有一群死黨…… 但今日我對成功的定義變了，當你長大，你就會發現這點。對你們中的很多人來說，成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒（大家笑）。

　對我來說，生命中最重要的事是：活得誠實！別逼自己去做不是真正的你，要活得正直，有憐憫之心，在某些方面有所貢獻. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else’s path, unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don’t give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don’t take anyone’s advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine. 因此，這是結論的結論（眾人笑）：追隨熱情，忠于自我，絕不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷路了才要這么做。別給人忠告，別接受任何人的忠告。所以…我要給大家的忠告是（大家大笑）：做真實的你，一切都會沒事的.
