娜塔莉·波特曼2015年哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿 篇一
尊敬的校长、教职员工、亲爱的毕业生们:
首先,我想向所有的毕业生们表示祝贺!今天是你们人生中的一个重要时刻,你们顺利完成了哈佛大学的学业,获得了宝贵的学位。我深知这并非易事,因为我自己也曾是你们中的一员,经历过类似的挑战和困难。
回想起我在哈佛度过的时光,我想分享一些我所学到的宝贵经验。首先,我们要明确自己的目标和梦想。在哈佛这样的顶尖学府,我们有着丰富的学习资源,但同时也面临着众多的选择。这时,我们需要明确自己的方向,找到自己真正热爱和擅长的领域。只有找到了自己的梦想,才能为之努力奋斗,不断充实自己。
其次,我们要拥抱失败。在求学的道路上,我们难免会遇到挫折和失败。然而,失败并不可怕,关键是我们要从失败中吸取教训,并勇敢地站起来。正如哈佛大学的创始人约翰·哈佛所说:“成功是由一次次失败堆积起来的。”只有经历过失败,我们才能更加坚定地追求成功。
同时,我们要珍惜人际关系。在哈佛这样的大学里,我们结识了许多志同道合的朋友,他们将成为我们一生中的宝贵财富。不要只关注自己的学习成绩和事业发展,也要关心身边的人,给予他们支持和帮助。在人生的旅程中,我们需要互相扶持,共同前行。
最后,我要强调的是,我们要怀抱梦想,追求真正的幸福。尽管哈佛的学业给了我们很好的教育和机会,但真正的幸福并不仅仅取决于学历和职位。我们应该追求内心的喜悦和满足,找到自己热爱的事业,建立美满的家庭,与亲朋好友分享快乐。只有在追求梦想的道路上,我们才能找到真正的幸福。
亲爱的毕业生们,你们是哈佛的骄傲,也是未来的希望。希望你们能够牢记这些经验和教训,勇敢地面对人生的挑战,追求自己的梦想。毕业并不代表结束,而是新的开始。相信自己,相信未来,你们一定会在人生的舞台上展现出耀眼的光芒!
谢谢大家!祝愿大家前程似锦,再次恭喜你们!

The thing I’m saying is, make use of the fact that you don’t doubt yourself too much right now. As we get order,we get more realistic, and that includes about our own abilities or lack thereof. And that realism does us no favors. People always talk about ping into things you’re afraid of. That never worked for me. If I’m afraid, I run away. And I would probably urge my child to do the same. Fear protects us in many ways. What has served me in ping into my own obliviousness. Being more confident than I should be which everyone tends to decry American kids and those of us who have been grade inflated and ego inflated. Well, it can be a good thing if it makes you try things you never might have tried. Your inexperience is an asset, and will allow you to think in original and unconventional ways. Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.
I know a famous violinist who told me that he can’t compose because he knows too many pieces. So when he starts thinking of the note, an existing piece immediately comes to mind. Just starting out one of your biggest strengths is not knowing how things are supposed to be. You can compose freely because your mind isn’t cluttered with too many pieces. And you don’t take for granted the way how things are. The only way you know how to do things is your own way. You have will all go on to achieve great things. There is no doubt almost that. Each time you set out to do something new, your inexperience can either lead you down a path where you will conform to someone else’s values, even though you don’t realize that’s what you’re doing. If your reasons are you own, your path, even if it’s a strange and clumsy path, will be wholly yours. And you will control the rewards of that you do by making your internal life fulfilling.
At the risk of sounding like a Miss America contestant, the most fulfilling things I’ve experienced have truly been the human interactions: spending time with women in village banks in Mexico with FINCA microfinance organization, meeting young women who were the first and the only in their communities to attend secondary schools in rural Kenya with Free the Children group that built sustainable schools in developing countries tracking with gorilla conservationists in Rwanda. It’s a cliche, because it’s true, that helping others ends up helping your more than anyone. Getting out of your own concerns and caring about some else’s life for a while, reminds you that you are not the center of the universe. And that in the ways we’re generous or not, we can change the course of someone’s life. Even at work, the small feat of kindness crew member, directors, fellow actors have shown me have had the most lasting impact.
And of course, first and foremost, the center of my world is the love that I share my family and friends. I wish for you that your friends will be with you through it all as my friends from Harvard have been together since we graduated. My friends from school are still very close. We have nursed each other through heartaches and danced at each others’ weddings. We’ve held each other at funerals and rocked each other’s new babies. We worked together on projects helped each other get jobs and thrown parties for when we’ve quit bad ones. And now our children are creating a second generation of friendship as we look at them toddling together. Haggard and disheveled working parents that we are.Grab the good people around you and don’t let them go. The biggest asset this school offers you is a group of peers that will both be your family and your school for life.
I remember always being pissed at the spring here in Cambridge.Tricking us into remembering a sunny yard full of laughing frisbee throwers. After 8 months of dark freezing library dwelling. It was like the school has managed to turn on the good weather as a last memory we should keep in mind that would make us want to come back. But as I get farther away from my years here I know that the power of this school is much deeper than weather control. It changed the very question that I was asking to quote one of my favourite thinkers Abraham Joshua Heschel: To be or not to be is not the question, the vital question is how to be and how not to be.
Thank you. I can’t wait to see how you do all the beautiful things you will do.
