4月19日，微软公司董事长比尔·盖茨开始第二天的访华行程。盖茨当日上午在清华大学发表主题为《未来之路：在中国共同创新》的演讲，并接受清华大学颁发的名誉博士学位证书。以下为演讲全文：

尊敬的顾校长，清华大学的老师、同学们：

获得清华大学这所世界一流大学的名誉博士学位，让我感到非常荣幸。清华是一所有着百年历史的名校，这里诞生了很多杰出的科学家、商业和政治领袖。

我上一次访问清华是在1997年。当时，中国学生的才华、热情和创造性给我留下了很深的印象。之后，我决定在中国设立微软亚洲研究院。在沈向洋博士的领导下，在清华等大学优秀毕业生的协助下，微软亚洲研究院取得了成功，为微软公司作出了巨大贡献。在各种国际会议上都可以见到他们的身影。他们也为微软的新产品如Windows Vista的诞生，付出了辛勤的努力。在计算机科学迅速发展的今

天，身为清华的学生是件激动人心的事。

我们才刚刚开始接触到软件魔法带来的奇妙体验。全世界有十亿计算机用户，他们才刚刚开始分享信息。随着

半导体、光纤技术的发展，软件可以做更多的事情：

今天的电视还是被动的，在未来，你可以从因特网下载节目，电视将能和人交

流、互动；

昨天我参观了中国农科院稻米研究所，看到那里的技术人员开始用软件来区分不同的稻米，为其排序，以后还可以通过软件的分析计算，用较少的农药培育出高

产量的优良品种；

医学界已经开始用软件来管理数据库；

今天的手机已经成为我们的“数字钱包”，可以显示地图，上网查找信息，未

来它还将可以和人交流；

平板电脑的出现，使得在教室可以无线上网，用电脑录音、识别手写的文字。这样，学生无需课本就能实现更有效的学习，老师也可以看到世界各地的优秀教案。

当然，软件的未来还面临很多挑战，比如：如何使得用户更容易掌握？如何实现人工智能？但不管怎样，就计算机科学而言，我们所处的都是最激动人心的时

代。

中国正在快速发展，对世界经济、科技创新正在做出越来越大的贡献。微软公司愿意帮助中国公司的成长，帮助所有的中国公民享受到计算机科学进步所带来的成果：

微软已经开展项目，帮助中国的进城务工人员、残疾人尤其是盲人享受科技成果；

微软已经捐资设立了五所希望小学和五所网上希望小学；

微软也同中国政府及大学合作，设立了很多学术交流项目，鼓励优秀外国专家

来华讲学；

有来自39所亚太地区大学的超过2000名学生曾在微软亚洲研究院实习，并有120人获得了研究资助，其中清华所占学生人数最多；

本学年，微软亚洲研究院的研究人员将在清华开设一门课程：“计算机研究的热门领域”。

我还想借此机会宣布，微软公司将在清华设立“杰出访问学者”项目。在该项目下，微软亚洲研究院每年将邀请一位世界知名的计算机专家到姚期智教授领导的理论计算机科学研究所讲学。第一位获邀来访的是美国麻省理工大学的弗朗斯·凯

斯霍德教授。

总之，我今天非常高兴来到贵校，并在接受我的母校

哈佛大学颁给我名誉博士学位之前就成为清华的名誉博士。

刚才，我和大家分享了软件领域在未来可能出现的一些突破，以及它们会给企业带来的机会、为残疾人和学生提供的帮助。我希望大家都能像我一样乐观：只要

可以上网，就能获得平等的受教育机会。

微软公司对于中国市场的专注是长期的。我们对于以学术严谨闻名的

清华大学有着很高的期望。让我们携手努力，共创信息技术未来的辉煌！

谢谢大家。

第二篇：盖茨在哈佛的演讲

Speech given by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates at Harvard University on June 7, 2007 President Bok, former President Rudenstine, incoming President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates: I've been waiting more than 30 years to say this: “Dad, I always told you I'd come back and get my degree.” I want to thank Harvard for this timely honour.I'll be changing my job next year...and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my resume.I applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your degrees.For my part, I'm just happy that the Crimson has called me “Harvard's most successful dropout.” I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class...I did the best of everyone who failed.But I also want to be recognised as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business school.I'm a bad influence.That's why I was invited to speak at your graduation.If I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might be here today.Harvard was just a phenomenal experience for me.Academic life was fascinating.I used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn't even signed up for.And dorm life was terrific.I lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier House.There were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn't worry about getting up in the morning.That's how I came to be the leader of the anti-social group.We clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social people.Radcliffe was a great place to live.There were more women up there, and most of the guys were science-math types.That combination offered me the best odds, if you know what I mean.This is where I learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn't guarantee success.One of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a call from Currier House to a company in Albuquerque that had begun making the world's first personal computers.I offered to sell them software.I worried that they would realise I was just a student in a dorm and hang up on me.Instead they said: “We're not quite ready, come see us in a month,” which was a good thing, because we hadn't written the software yet.From that moment, I worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journey with Microsoft.What I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and intelligence.It could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always challenging.It was an amazing privilegethe appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemn millions of people to lives of despair.I learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and politics.I got great exposure to the advances being made in the sciences.But humanity's greatest advances are not in its discoveriesreducing inequity is the highest human achievement.I left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this country.And I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries.It took me decades to find out.You graduates came to Harvard at a different time.You know more about the world's inequities than the classes that came before.In your years here, I hope you've had a chance to think about howwe can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them.Imagine, just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a causenone of them in the United States.We were shocked.We had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make it a priority to discover and deliver the medicines to save them.But it did not.For under a dollar, there were interventions that could save lives that just weren't being delivered.If you believe that every life has equal value, it's revolting to learn that some lives are seen as worth saving and others are not.We said to ourselves: “This can't be true.But if it is true, it deserves to be the priority of our giving.” So we began our work in the same way anyone here would begin it.We asked: “How could the world let these children die?” The answer is simple, and harsh.The market did not reward saving the lives of these children, and governments did not subsidise it.So the children died because their mothers and their fathers had no power in the market and no voice in the system.But you and I have both.We can make market forces work better for the poor if we can develop a more creative capitalismbecause people just...don't...care.“ I completely disagree.I believe we have more caring than we know what to do with.All of us here in this Yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothingand millions of people dying is nothing new.So it stays in the background, where it's easier to ignore.But even when we do see it or read about it, it's difficult to keep our eyes on the problem.It's hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don't know how to help.And so we look away.If we can really see a problem, which is the first step, we come to the second step: cutting through the complexity to find a solution.Finding solutions is essential if we want to make the most of our caring.If we have clear and proven answers anytime an organization or individual asks ”How can I help?," then we can get actionand that makes it hard for their caring to matter.Cutting through complexity to find a solution runs through four predictable stages: determine a goal, find the highest-leverage approach, discover the ideal technology for that approach, and in the meantime, make the smartest application of the technology that you already haveand the best prevention approach we have now is getting people to avoid risky behaviour.Pursuing that goal starts the four-step cycle again.This is the pattern.The crucial thing is to never stop thinking and workingwhich is to surrender to complexity and quit.The final stepis to measure the impact of your work and share your successes and failures so that others learn from your efforts.You have to have the statistics, of course.You have to be able to show that a program is vaccinating millions more children.You have to be able to show a decline in the number of children dying from these diseases.This is essential not just to improve the program, but also to help draw more investment from business and government.But if you want to inspire people to participate, you have to show more than numbers;you have to convey the human impact of the workthen multiply that by millions....Yet this was the most boring panel I've ever been onbut why can't we generate even more excitement for saving lives? You can't get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the impact.And how you do thatthey can help us make the most of our caringbiotechnology, the computer, the Internetand that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering degree.At the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don't.That means many creative minds are left out of this discussion--smart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don't have the technology to hone their talents or contribute their ideas to the world.We need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organisation, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation George Marshall spoke of 60 years ago.Members of the Harvard Family: Here in the Yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the world.What for? There is no question that the faculty, the alumni, the students, and the benefactors of Harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the world.But can we do more? Can Harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name? Let me make a request of the deans and the professorsyou will answer with your policies.My mother, who was filled with pride the day I was admitted herein talent, privilege, and opportunitya complex problem, a deep inequity, and become a specialist on it.If you make it the focus of your career, that would be phenomenal.But you don't have to do that to make an impact.For a few hours every week, you can use the growing power of the Internet to get informed, find others with the same interests, see the barriers, and find ways to cut through them.Don't let complexity stop you.Be activists.Take on the big inequities.It will be one of the great experiences of your lives.You graduates are coming of age in an amazing time.As you leave Harvard, you have technology that members of my class never had.You have awareness of global inequity, which we did not have.And with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little effort.You have more than we had;you must start sooner, and carry on longer.Knowing what you know, how could you not? And I hope you will come back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your energy.I hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional accomplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world's deepest inequities...on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in common with you but their humanity.Good luck.goooder(2007-7-05 18:59:29)Dir Mr.Yan, Thank you very much for sharing this article for us.I would not be able to know Bill Gates has been graduated from Harvard if you did not post this.goooder(2007-7-05 19:00:24)比尔盖茨哈佛大学毕业演讲(转帖)2007-06-14 http://cn.bbs.yahoo.com/message/read_overseas_483191.html 过去30年里，我一直在等待著说这样一句话，“父亲，我一直对您说我将拿到自己的学位。”。

我要感谢哈佛及时地授予我学位。我明年要换工作(注：指全力投入比尔及梅琳达基金会的慈善工作)，有了学位我的简历看起来会更好一些。

祝贺今天的哈佛毕业生都直接获得了学位。哈佛校报称我为“哈佛历史上最成功的辍学生”，这让我感到非常高兴。当我面对同一届毕业生时，我可以对他们说，“是失败者中最为成功的。”

众所周知，当初史蒂夫 鲍尔默(Steve Ballmer)从哈佛商学院退学，我是作俑者。我并不是一个好榜样，这也是我受邀在你们的毕业典礼上发表演讲的原因。如果你们都像我一样辍学，那今天就没有人会坐在这里。

对我来说，在哈佛的经历是一段难忘的体验。校园生活总是让人留恋，我曾经上了很多根本没有注册的课。当然，宿舍的生活并不太美好。当时我住在拉德克里夫学院，同一宿舍的很多人经常讨论问题到深夜，因为他们都知道我并不担心早上起不来床。正是在这样的环境下，我成长为反社会集团的领导者。

拉德克里夫是一个适合生活的地方。那时候这里有很多女孩子，而且大多数男生都属于较为死板的类型，因此我的机会很多，你们都知道我的意思。不过，正是在这里，我明白了拥有机会并不一定能获得成功的道理。(笑)

微软的起步

在哈佛的日子里，最令我难忘的一天是在1975年1月。当时我给Albuquerque的一家公司打了电话，这家公司已经开始生产全世界首批个人计算机，我希望向它们销售软件。最开始我忐忑不安，因为担心这家公司会因为我是学生而挂断电话。但幸运的是，它们没有这样做，而是对我说，“我们还没有准备好，一个月内来我们公司看看吧。”这对我来说是一个好消息，因为我们当时还没有完成软件开发。从那一刻起，我夜以继日地工作。这一项目虽然价值不大，但它标志著我大学生活的结束，以及微软的起步。

哈佛给我留下印象最深的是所有人都活力十足，而且非常聪明。在哈佛的日子有快乐，也有失落，但总是充满挑战。尽管我很早离开了哈佛，但那几年已经足以改变我。在这里，我结识了很多朋友，并想出了很多创意。

最大遗憾

认真回顾过去，我确实有著一大遗憾。

当我离开哈佛时，我并没有意识到这个世界存在著可怕的不平等现象。人们享受的医疗、保健和机会严重不均，很多人生活在绝望的边缘。

我在哈佛学到了很多东西，包括经济和政治方面的新思想，但体会最深的还是科学的不断进步。

可是，人类的最大进步并不体现在发现和发明上，而是如何利用它们来消除不平等。不管通过何种方式，民主、公共教育、医疗保健、或者是经济合作，消除不平等才是人类的最大成就。

当我离开校园时，并不知道美国有数百万的青少年享受不到受教育的机会，我也不知道在发展中国家有数百万人生活在极度的贫困之中。

我用了数十年的时间才明白了这些。

你们和我完全不同，你们更了解这个世界上存在的不平等。我希望你们过去几年都曾经认真想过，应当如何应对这样的不平等，以及如何解决这些问题。

假如，如果你愿意付出每周几小时时间和每月几美元，希望这些时间和钱能拯救更多的人，改善更多人的生活。那么，你会将时间和钱花在哪里呢？

对于梅琳达(注：盖茨之妻)和我来说，也存在著同样的问题：应该怎样做，才能让我们拥有的资源给最多的人带来好处呢？

在讨论这一问题的过程中，梅琳达和我看到一篇关于疾病每年在发展中国家杀死数百万儿童的新闻。这些疾病包括麻疹、疟疾、肺炎、B型肝炎和黄热病，它们在美国已经受到严密的控制。此外，一种我们从未听说的疾病──轮状病毒每年要杀死50万儿童，但其中没有一名美国儿童。

我们感到非常震惊。既然每年有如此多的儿童因为这些疾病而死，那么就应当将研发新药、拯救生命放在首位，但事实并非如此。

人人生而平等

如果你们相信“人人生而平等”，当了解到人们认为有些生命值得拯救，而有些生命不值得时，也会感到震惊。我们会对自己说：“这并不是真的。但是，如果它是真的，我们就应当努力改变这种情况。”

因此，我们开始了这样的工作，我们相信别人也会这样做。有时我们会感到不解：这个世界为什么会允许那么多的孩子死亡呢？

答案很简单，也很残酷。拯救这些孩子的生命并不会带来市场回报，政府也没有为此提供补贴。这些孩子之所以会死亡，主要因为他们的父母没有强大的市场力量，甚至没有话语权。

但是我和你们都有。

我们今天坐在这里，就在这一时间，世界各地仍在上演著人间惨剧。这让我们感到心碎，我们之所以没有采取任何行动，并不是我们没有同情心，而是因为我们不知道如何去做。

我们面临的障碍并不是缺乏同情心，实际情况要复杂的多。

要将同情心转化为行动，我们需要看到问题，找到解决方案，并了解最终结果。但实际情况是，我们很难做到这三点。

即使有了互联网和24小时新闻播报，我们仍然很难真正地了解问题。如果一架飞机坠毁，官方会立即举办新闻发布会。他们将会承诺展开调查，确定事故原因，并保证今后不会出现同样的情况。

但实际情况却是，飞机失事死亡人数还不足全世界每天因可避免原因死亡人数的0.5%。

更严重的问题并不是飞机失事，而是全球数以百万计的可避免死亡。

事实上，我们很难获得同后者相关的消息。新闻媒体希望获得新消息，而数以百万计的人因贫穷和疾病死亡并不是新消息。因此，这样的消息很难出现在媒体报道中，从而更容易被人们所忽略。另一方面，即使我们看到这样的报道，也不太情愿仔细阅读。因为情况过于复杂，我们不知道如何提供帮助。在这种情况下，我们大多数情况会将视线转向其它方向。

看到问题只是第一步，我们要做的下一步是降低问题的复杂度，并找到解决方案。

如果我们想让自己的同情心发挥作用，找到解决方案非常必要。因为只有这样，我们才能确保同情心没有被浪费。当然，由于大部分问题都很复杂，要找到解决方案并不容易。

那么，我们又应当如何降低复杂度，找到解决方案呢？我认为可以分为四个阶段：确定一个目标、发现最有效的方式、为这种方式找到理想的技术、以及开发最优秀的应用，例如用于治病的药品。

我们要做的最后一步就是衡量工作的成果，并与他人共享我们的成功与失败。

第四篇：施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲范文

施瓦辛格在清华大学的演讲

Well, thank you very much, President.First of all, I want to thank President Gu for having me here, and I want to thank Mr.Qizhi for your kind introduction.Thank you very much.It is wonderful to be here at this university.What a special place.I just looked around a little bit here, it’s a gorgeous, gorgeous place.I want to congratulate you for going to this magnificent university here.Now, the last time I was here in China was five years ago, and then I was promoting my movies.They had a movie festival here, the Arnold Schwarzenegger Movie Festival.I remember they showed all my movies for a week—which was a rarity, may I remind you—and they also showed the movies on television.But we also were here to promote Special Olympics, which is an organization that helps people with mental disabilities, so I was here for both reasons.But this time I’m here as the governor of the great state of California.I’m here representing the people of California, and we’re here on a trade mission to see how we can do more business with China and to help each other, because both California is a very fast growing state, and China is a very fast growing country, and there are a lot of things that we can do for one another.But I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to come here today and to talk with the young people;as a matter of fact, to the brightest young people of China.And this is why it is so great to be here at the Tsinghua University, and I’m honored that I was invited here.Now, I read a little bit about the history of Tsinghua, and I learned that actually this school originally prepared students to attend universities in America.Now, I also know that since the attack on our World Trade Centers it has become more and more difficult to go to the universities in America because you need to fill out all kinds of paperwork now and you have to get visas, and it’s very complicated, and you have to wait a much longer period of time to go over there.But let me tell you, things are improving already.I’ve heard that it’s easing up, the restrictions, and it’s easier to get a visa.My young Chinese friends, I want to tell you that in case no one from America has ever invited you, let me do this right now personally.I want to warmly invite all of you here to come to the United States, and especially to come to California, because that’s the happening place.California is the best place.Please come and visit us, we will welcome you.I invite you all to come there and to travel, to meet the American people, and to come there and study in our universities, and some day hopefully you will come and do business over there, or maybe you’ll want to move over there.Whatever your goal is, you’re always welcome.America, after all, let’s not forget, is the land of opportunity.And it’s not only the land of opportunity for Austrians like me, but for Chinese people as well.Remember that.I know that beginning with this century, China is also becoming a land of opportunity.It’s a fast growing place, and as the students of this great university and the citizens of a rising China, I think that you have a great future also here in this country.And today I want to talk to you a little bit about the dreams, about the dreams of your future, and dreams for this country.I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, because it seems to me that I’m somewhat of an expert in dreams, because I had a lot of my dreams become a reality.So let me just briefly tell you my story, and tell you a little bit about how I started with my career.I think that this story kind of relates a little bit also to you, and also to China.I started way back as a weightlifter.I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder.From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel up over my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that I’m going to do;that I was in love with that, and this is going to be something that I’m going to do.I’m going to pursue the sport of weightlifting and bodybuilding.Now, I remember the first real workout that I had.Eight miles away from my home village in Austria there was a gymnasium, and I rode to that gymnasium with a bicycle.And there I trained for half an hour, because they said that after half an hour you should stop because otherwise your body will get really sore.But after half an hour I looked at my body, and nothing had happened.So I said, “I’d better work out for another half hour.” So I lifted some more.My strength didn’t improve, I didn’t see the muscles pop out or anything like that, so I trained for another half an hour.And then after another half hour I trained another half hour, and all together I trained two and a half hours.Well, let me tell you something.After two and a half hours—even though they told me that I shouldn’t train that much or I would get really sore—I left the gymnasium, I rode my bicycle home.And after the first mile I got numb, and I couldn’t feel anymore the handle of the bicycle, and I fell off the bike and I fell into the ditch on the side of the road.So I got up again and I tried it again.Another few yards, I fell off the bicycle again.And I tried it three, four more times, and I just couldn’t ride my bicycle because my body was so numb and my legs felt like noodles.Well, let me tell you something.The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn’t even lift my arms to comb my hair.I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is.But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress.Pain is progress.Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger.I think there is a real life lesson in that.After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength.And that told me something;that if I could change my body that much, and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else.I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life.And this is exactly what I have done.I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries.You can change, China can change, everyone in the world can change.My parents, of course, I have to tell you, didn’t understand my dreams at all.They were always wondering, they said, “What is he doing? When are you going to get a job, a real job? When are you going to make money?” And all of those questions I got.And they said, “I hope we didn’t raise a bum, someone that doesn’t make money and just wants to live in a gymnasium and think about their bodies.” Well, I endured all of this negative thinking, and the more negative the thinking got, and the more negative the questions got, the stronger and the more positive I became, the stronger I became inside.So of course some of your families maybe think the same way, and this is why I’m mentioning that.Some of your families maybe don’t believe in your dreams.But let me tell you something, my young friends.Keep your dreams.No matter what, keep your dreams.Don’t give up on them, even when you are temporarily defeated or denied.Keep your dreams.I remember the first time I went to the United States and I was competing in a competition, the World Championships in Bodybuilding.I lost.I came in second, and I was devastated.I was crushed.I felt like a loser, a major loser, let me tell you.I cried, as a matter of fact, because I felt like I disappointed my friends and I disappointed myself.But the next day I got my act together, I shifted gears, and I said, “I’m going to learn from that lesson.I’m going to stay here in America.I’m not going to go back to Europe.I’m going to stay in America and I’m going to train with the American champions, I’m going to train the American way.I’m going to eat the American food, I’m going to train with the American machines and the principles.And a year later, in America, I became the World Champion in Bodybuilding.So I think this is a very, very important lesson.And from then on, I continued.My career took off, and everything that I wanted to do I accomplished.First it was to become a champion in bodybuilding.Later on I became a movie star, to do all the great movies, the Conan movies and the Terminator movies and all this.Then I became the governor of the great state of California, of the sixth largest economy in the world.All of this happened because of my dreams, even though other people told me that those dreams were bogus and they were crazy, but I held onto my dreams.And people would always say, no matter what, even in bodybuilding they said I would never make it.And later on in the movies, in Hollywood they said I would not make it.They said, ”You will never make it.You have a German accent.No one in Hollywood has ever made it with a German accent.Yeah, maybe you can play some Nazi roles or something like that, but you cannot become a leading star with an accent.Plus your body, you’re overdeveloped, you have all these muscles.They did Hercules movies 20 years ago, that’s outdated.Now it’s Woody Allen.Woody Allen is in, his body is in.“ And those were the messages.”And Al Pacino, the skinny guy, he is in.But not your body, it’s too big.And your name, Schwarzenegger, it will never fit on a movie poster.Forget it.Forget it, you will never make it.Go back to bodybuilding.“ Well, the rest is history.After Terminator 3, I became the highest paid movie star in Hollywood.And let me tell you something, it continued on.Even when I ran for governor people said, ”Arnold, you will never make it.You will never become governor of California.What do you know about government?“ Well, the fact is, I knew exactly as much about government as the rest of the people knew in California, which is that government is out of touch, and it’s out of sync with the people, and it needed a shakeup.So I didn’t listen to all those people that said I would never make it.I continued campaigning, I listened to my dreams, and the rest also is history.I became governor.So always it just carried me on, those dreams.So bodybuilding gave me the confidence, movies gave me the money, and pubic service and being a governor gave me a purpose larger than myself.And that is the brief story of my dreams and a brief story of my early life, and how my dreams made me successful.A person, of course, should not be stingy with their dreams.So I, of course, don’t just think and dream about myself, but I also have dreams for you, and dreams for China.So let me just talk a little bit about that.China’s economy has become an engine of human progress, lifting millions of people out of poverty.This is a moral and economic good for China and for the rest of the world.I often read that China’s economy is likely to become the largest in the world over the next 50 years, and I think this is terrific.This does not mean, of course, that America will get poorer;it just means that China will get richer, and the United States will benefit from China’s progress as much as the U.S.benefited from the rise of Western Europe after World War II.Some in my country fear that China’s research and development will overtake America’s, but I believe that America and the world will benefit from China’s scientific and technological advances.I think we will benefit from that.If China makes advances in stem cell research, the rest of the world will benefit from that.If China discovers an energy breakthrough, this is good for the rest of the world, such as the benefit of a free market.Some fear that China will buy up American companies, but that fear also existed in the ‘80s, when America feared that Japan was going to buy up American companies.So what? It was just good, and to the benefit of America.We should welcome China’s investment in American companies, just as we welcome the billions of dollars that China has invested in U.S.treasury bonds.This shows that China has faith in America, and American investment in China shows that we have faith in you.So I believe that China and U.S.economic relations will become even closer in the years ahead.Certainly I realize that we do not agree on everything, but who does? Certainly I realize that China has major hurdles to overcome, but it is not for me to say how China should overcome those hurdles and achieve its dreams.But I can tell you, however, what has given America such energy and strength over the last 200 years, and perhaps there are some insights in this for China.America is a nation that believes in the power of the individual, and what the individual can accomplish, no matter the color, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background of the individual.Recently, as you probably have read, Rosa Parks, a former seamstress married to a barber, married to a hairdresser, died, and she lay in honor in the Rotunda of the U.S.Capitol in Washington.People from around America came to say farewell to her and to thank her for changing our history and for changing our society.Now, what did this 92 year-old black woman do that deserved such great honor? What did she do? Well, in 1955, the days of racial segregation, she had refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man.She had refused.Her simple refusal to move to the back of the bus put into motion events that led to my country’s great civil rights movement.The small protest of a woman that maybe weighed less than 100 lbs.brought down a racist system.As you can see, the individual can make a difference.Let me tell you about another individual, Ken Behring, a millionaire California businessman who found his passion in giving wheelchairs to poor and physically disabled people all around the globe, including China.He says that he has met people who have spent years in rooms with no window, just lying there and staring up at the ceiling, never seeing the outside world unless someone was willing to pick up that person and take them outside to show them the world.He says that it’s no wonder so many of those physically disabled people dream about being a bird.Mr.Behring says that most of us think that a wheelchair would be a confinement, but to millions of people it is not a confinement, it is freedom, freedom to move and to go to school, freedom to vote, freedom to get a job, and freedom for hope for the future.He has given freedom and wheelchairs to 400,000 people around the world.The individual can make a difference.My mother-in-law, Eunice Kennedy Shriver—I always like to mention her, because it gets me on the good side of her—she, for instance, started an organization called Special Olympics.She stared Special Olympics which is for people with mental disabilities.And of course when she started that organization she was told by the experts, ”Don’t do it.You cannot take people with mental disabilities out of mental institutions and have them participate in sports events.They will drown in the swimming pools.They will kill each other out there, they will hurt each other.Don’t do it.“ But Eunice Kennedy Shriver had a dream and a passion, and today millions of people compete in Special Olympics around the world, including right here in China.This is why I was here five years ago.Five years ago you had 50,000 participants in the Special Olympics.Today, five years later, you have 500,000 participants in Special Olympics.500,000 people are getting a chance to participate in sports programs, getting a chance to have health care, have a chance to be treated equally, with respect and with tolerance.So Eunice Kennedy Shriver exemplifies that the individual can make a difference.And I think what I’m trying to say to you is that each and every one of you can make a difference.So as you study and as you become smarter, and as you become richer, think about that, that there are millions of people that need your help.Now, you maybe ask yourself the question, what can I do? Well, let me tell you.Even though you maybe have no money or anything, you can go out and help a child that has not yet learned yet how to read.You maybe can go out and help a person that is physically handicapped, to lift them up and to take them outside so they can see the world.There are so many different things that you can do.You maybe can take a person that is mentally disabled, to take them to a soccer game.There are all kinds of things that the individual can do to reach out and to help.Imagine what could be accomplished if the dreams of China’s 1.3 billion individuals could be unleashed.Imagine what could happen.Each of you here has the power of the individual within you, you have the power of your dreams within you, and these are tremendous powers.You’re young, you’re educated, and you are the very best China has to offer.My young Chinese friends, I believe in your dreams.I believe that you can achieve them, and I believe you can make a difference, a big difference.All you have to do is just make the commitment.All you have to do is create the action and commit, and say, ”Let’s do it." Go out and do it.I’m asking you.Do it for yourself, do it for China, and do it for the good of the world.Thank you very much for listening.Thank you.

第五篇：温家宝在清华大学的演讲

温家宝在清华大学的演讲（全文）

老师们，同学们：

今天我来清华看望同学们！上次我来清华的时候，同学们向我提出，说中国领导人出访时经常在国外的大学里演讲，能不能在国内的大学也作些演讲，并邀请我来清华作一次演讲。今天，我是来兑现承诺的。

走进清华园，看到同学们一张张朝气蓬勃的笑脸，心里非常高兴。清华是一块教育和学术圣地。清华园人杰地灵。一百年来，从这里走出了许多中华民族的精英，可谓人才荟萃，桃李满天下。“水木清华”，“婉兮清扬”。我年轻的时候读朱自清先生的《荷塘月色》，文中描绘的宁静恬淡的意境，至今记忆犹新。清华大学已经有100年的历史。100年，对于一个人来说已为期颐高寿，但对于一所大学来说，却正值盛年，或者说还是青年。我祝愿清华大学永远年轻！

真正有见识的“君子”当知天时、任时命，顺应“天道”自然规律，以“天”的“自强不息”的精神，推动客观事物的运动和发展。

站在这里，我首先想起曾担任过清华教授的梁启超先生。1914年11月梁先生第一次来清华作演讲，题目是《君子》。他引《易经大传》中“天行健，君子以自强不息”、“地势坤，君子以厚德载物”的话，勉励学子们树立“完整人格”。我以为，他这次演讲，对清华优良校风的形成产生了深远影响。这以后，“自强不息，厚德载物”八个字就成了清华的校训。

在中国传统文化中，“自强不息”、“厚德载物”的思想，有着十分重要的地位。“自强不息”的品行，是古代先人的智慧和境界，它深深地融入每一个有血有肉的中国人的身心意识中，使其刚健而不屈，独立而不倚。“天行健，君子以自强不息”，就是说作为客观事物的发展，以其“刚健”的品格，自行运动着，真正有见识的“君子”当知天时、任时命，顺应“天道”自然规律，以“天”的“自强不息”的精神，推动客观事物的运动和发展，从而达到“天人合一”的境界。

“厚德载物”就是要像大地那样广博宽厚，容纳万物。这是我国古代人生修养的积极方面。孔子就说过：“宽则待众”，要“成人之美，不成人之恶”，“不念旧恶，怨则用希”。孟子主张“君子莫乎已，与人为善”，“利人者即为，不利乎即止。”厚德，就是要加强道德修养。清华老校歌中说：“器识为先，文艺其从”，意思是说上学受教育，首先学习的是“气度”和“胆识”，学文学艺是第二位的。这里的胆识和气度其实就是泛指做人的问题，文艺其实就是为学的问题，为人与为学相比，不能不占首位。

哲学家张岱年先生认为，中华精神集中表现于两个命题：“天行健，君子以自强不息”、“地势坤，君子以厚德载物”。一个是奋斗精神，一个是兼容精神。这两种精神，在铸造中华民族的民族精神上起了决定性的作用。中华民族五千年历史，内忧外患，历经磨难，仍得以繁荣昌盛，靠的就是自强不息的精神与厚德载物的品德。

清华大学历经百年沧桑，与祖国同甘苦、共患难。在老一代清华人的身上，充满理想主义的情怀，他们不仅有着卓越的才智，而且满怀对祖国的忠诚和对事业的坚韧，表现出为国家和民族义无反顾的献身精神。清华一位老校长说过：“我们的清华大学，我们清华大学中的每一个成员，不是离开国家、离开人民孤立地存在的。我们学校的命运，我们学校中每一个人的命运，是和我们伟大祖国的命运密切地联系着的。”抗日战争时期，清华南迁西南边陲，敌机狂轰滥炸，物质条件极端恶劣，但没有改变师生勤于治学、弦歌不辍的斗志，一大批学子就是在这种条件下成才的，一大批老师也是在这里创造一流业绩的。在新中国建设事业中，清华人第一次践履“我愿以身许国”的忠诚誓言，隐姓埋名从事“两弹一星”研究工作。有的虽然留学海外，但在获得学位后不到10天就返身回国参加建设。改革开放以来，清华师生踊跃投身祖国的现代化建设事业，喊出了“从我做起，从现在做起”的时代强音，取得高温气冷堆等一大批先进科研教学成果，以实际行动诠释着“我的事业在中国”的豪迈誓言和爱国情怀。长期以来，清华人在真理面前不苟且，不低头，“不降其志、不辱其身”；在困难面前逆势而上、敢于担当。今天在座的各位青年朋友，是国家的未来、民族的希望，承担着将来建设国家的重任。怎样建设好我们的国家，也是每一个人都要思考的问题。借此机会，在这里谈谈我的一些思考。

我们不但要坚定不移地推进经济体制改革，而且要坚定不移地推进政治体制改革。

大家都知道，我们的国家有着五千年的文明史，但是这五千年是在艰难曲折中一步一步走过来的。从有文字记载的殷商时代开始，经历过几十个朝代的更替，几十次分分合合。远的不说，就近一个半世纪以来，从鸦片战争开始，中国沦为半殖民地。距离我们这里不到一里之遥的圆明园遗址，就是祖**亲身上一道永远难以愈合的伤痕，是中华民族积贫积弱的历史见证。虽然历经磨难，但我们的民族没有倒，国家没有散，愈挫愈奋，“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生”，就是因为我们有着“自强不息，厚德载物”的伟大民族精神。新中国的建立，彻底结束了帝国主义、殖民主义势力奴役中国各族人民的历史，实现了国家的统一，使中华民族一洗百年来所蒙受的奇耻大辱而自立于世界民族之林，从此，中国人民站立起来，当家作主，真正成为国家的主人，我们的社会主义现代化建设取得巨大成就。但是，建设社会主义现代化国家的道路不是一帆风顺的。我们走过“大跃进”、“人民公社”的弯路，犯过“文化大革命”这样的错误。我们搞了多年社会主义，并没有真正弄清什么是社会主义、怎样建设社会主义的问题。我们对社会主义的认识也是在实践中不断深化的。直到党的十一届三中全会，我们确立了解放思想、实事求是的思想路线，深刻总结历史经验和教训，作出了改革开放的历史抉择，开辟了中国特色社会主义的道路。

我们从事的社会主义现代化建设是在探索中前进的。社会主义制度从不成熟到成熟，是一个长期的历史过程，必须从我国的实际出发，坚持改革和实践，走符合国情的道路，使社会主义得以巩固和发展。

当前，我国正处于社会主义初级阶段。除了生产力仍不发达外，还存在社会发展与经济发展不协调、上层建筑的许多方面与经济基础不适应的问题。在经济快速发展中又出现一些如收入差距扩大、司法不公、贪污腐败和环境污染等人民群众反映强烈的新问题。要彻底改变中国的面貌，真正把我国建设成为富强民主文明和谐的社会主义现代化国家，还有很长的路要走。我们不但要坚定不移地推进经济体制改革，进一步解放社会生产力，继续发展经济、改善民生；而且要坚定不移地推进政治体制改革，发展社会主义民主法治，促进社会公平正义，实现人的自由平等。

人民是国家一切权力的源泉，领导者应该恭敬人民，相信人民的判断能力和选择能力，从而依靠人民。

民主法治、公平正义和自由平等，是人类共同追求的理想和目标。在不同国家、不同民族、不同历史发展阶段，其内涵、形式、途径都不尽相同。改革开放三十多年的实践，为实现民主法治、公平正义、自由平等进行了深入的探索，积累了丰富的经验，奠定了一定基础。必须继续前进，而不能倒退。这关系到国家的未来和希望，也关系到民族的前途和命运。

人民民主是社会主义的生命。没有民主就没有社会主义。民主是人类文明进步的成果，是时代的潮流和社会发展的必然趋势，是社会主义现代化事业成功的根本保障。要发展更加广泛、更加充分的人民民主，保障人民依法实行民主选举、民主决策、民主管理、民主监督。民主是对权力的监督和制约。任何政府如果不加以监督，任何权力如果不加以制约，都会蜕变和腐化，绝对的权力产生绝对的腐败。我们之所以发展民主、健全法制，就是要把党内民主和国家政治生活的民主加以制度化、法律化，保障宪法赋予人民的各项民主权利，建立有效制约权力并创造条件让人民监督的制度。人民是国家一切权力的源泉，领导者应该恭敬人民，相信人民的判断能力和选择能力，从而依靠人民。

维护国家法制的统一、尊严、权威，坚持司法独立和公正，是依法执政、依法治国的根本要求。

我们党从革命到执政，所处的地位和环境以及所肩负的任务都发生了重大变化，党的职能和领导方法就要相应地转变，以适应新形势、新任务的要求。历史的经验告诉我们，坚持依法执政、依法治国、建设法治国家，是党领导人民建设社会主义的基本原则。宪法和法律是神圣的、至高无上的，具有任何人必须严格遵守的不可侵犯的力量，是执政和治国的基石。维护国家法制的统一、尊严、权威，坚持司法独立和公正，是依法执政、依法治国的根本要求。

公平正义是社会主义制度的首要价值。如果一个社会的经济发展成果，不能真正为大众所分享，那么它在道义上是不得人心的，而且势必威胁社会稳定。

公平正义是社会主义制度的首要价值。如果一个社会的经济发展成果，不能真正为大众所分享，那么它在道义上是不得人心的，而且势必威胁社会稳定。必须毫不动摇地改善民生，改革分配制度，缩小贫富差距，使广大人民共享改革和发展的成果。还要看到，我们追求的目标不仅是经济的发展，而且是人的自由平等和全面发展，是整个社会的进步。要满足人们日益增长的物质、文化和精神需求，保障每个公民的自由平等和发展权利，让每个人生活得有乐趣、有尊严、有安全感。面对社会的许多矛盾和问题，只要我们坚持经济和社会协调发展，维护社会公平正义，并通过不懈的努力而取得明显成效，大家对国家的未来就会充满信心。我希望，在我们的社会，有对人心、人道和人本身的尊重，每个人都有其尊严、选择和发展机会，确保人与人之间的平等，提倡人间的同情和关爱，让公平正义的阳光普照社会的每个角落，让人间永远充满青春、奋斗和自由的气息。这是公平正义的真正内涵之所在。

自由不是空洞的概念，而是言论、信仰等基本权利的实现。人类的进步就是在各种不同的思想的争鸣中萌发的。

自由平等是对每个人人格和权利的尊重。人生而平等，每个人在尊严和权利方面都是平等的，享有与生俱来的不可剥夺的生命、健康、自由和财产权利。自由是人全面发展的前提，也是人类进行创造的基础和源泉。自由不是空洞的概念，而是言论、信仰等基本权利的实现。人类的进步就是在各种不同的思想的争鸣中萌发的。中国要有一个真正光明的未来，必须发挥全体人民群众的积极性，特别要鼓励人民的创造精神，提倡独立思想和批判思维。社会活力和凝聚力来自社会成员的主动性和创造性，来自社会文化的“个性化”，来自崇尚理性、尊重科学的精神，来自国民教育的普及。要创造更加平等宽松的政治环境和更加自由的学术氛围，让人民追求真理、探索自然的奥秘、社会的法则和人生的真谛。

在我们这样一个人口众多的国家进行各方面的改革，实现民主法治、公平正义、自由平等，并非是一件轻而易举的事，必须在党的领导下有秩序地逐步推进，走出一条适合国情的民主道路。我们相信，只要全党和全国人民不懈地奋斗，一个繁荣富强民主和谐的社会主义现代化国家，就一定会屹立在世界的东方！

我已年届七十，即将退休了。我永远也不会离开祖国和人民。

今天和大家谈谈心，我感到很高兴。我们从清华的校训、清华的精神，谈到我们中华民族的文化、中华民族的精神；从我们国家的历史，谈到中华民族的现在和未来。其实，个人的命运是和国家民族的命运紧密相连的。在我的一生中，经历过许多真实的苦难，这些苦难使我懂得了我们这个民族所经历的灾难太深重了。我是一个爱国主义者，我爱我的祖国，我的每一个细胞、每一滴血液都浸透着对我们民族的爱，都流淌着对伟大祖国的深情。我的一切都是祖国和人民给予的，即使将来我化为灰烬也属于祖国。在我的成长过程中，深受无数为救国救民和民族独立解放所献身的志士仁人的影响。孩提时代，母亲给我讲爱国英雄人物的故事，告诉我作为一个中国人，应该热爱我们的国家、热爱我们的人民，我一边听，一边流泪，立志长大后要报效祖国，献身人民。祖国和人民培养了我，给了我服务国家的机会，我也为祖国献出自己的全部心血和精力。今天，我已年届七十，即将退休了。我将回到母亲身边，回到群众中去，我永远也不会离开我的祖国和人民。

清华大学建立以来，为共和国培养了一代又一代优秀的专家学者，他们以渊博的学识、聪慧的才智和严谨理性的气质，诠释着一代大师“独立之精神，自由之思想”的箴言，上续民族惠民，下行“内圣外王”之道，成为中华民族的脊梁。他们不计名利，忧道不忧贫，始终保持高尚的境界和爱国的热忱，在艰苦的环境中洗净铅华，彰显本色，传承了中华民族的优秀品质。今天我们要培养和重塑民族的道德理性，就必须汲取传统文化的精神营养，倡导心存敬畏、行已知耻、诚实守信的社会道德观，对社会要有奉献精神，对他人要有责任感，对弱者要有同情心，养成情操高尚的人格。这不仅是对社会的责任，对他人的尊重，更是人的自信与庄严。我相信，新一代清华人一定会牢记“自强不息，厚德载物”的校训，大力弘扬清华精神，努力学习，勤奋成才，将来为祖国的现代化建设作出更大的贡献，谱写清华大学更加辉煌的篇章！
