《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》与《鲁豫有约》
摘要:《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》与《鲁豫有约》分别作为美国和中国谈话类节目的代表,作为两档优秀的谈话类节目,它们有何异同呢?在谈话类节目这一板块又有何值得借鉴之处呢?本文将从节目背景与受众定位、节目理念、节目形态、主持人研究等方面进行分析。关键词:节目受众 节目理念 节目形态 主持人
电视谈话节目(脱口秀)在西方电视界已有多年的历史,形式与风格都已相当成熟。如今脱口秀已成为美国电视节目的基本类型之一,是反映美国生活的一面镜子。我国电视谈话节目的兴起也有十多年了虽起步较晚,也在摸索中逐步走向成熟,在向国外优秀节目借鉴、学习的同时,结合中国观众的收视特征,适应中国的媒体环境,发挥主持人自身的特色,也取得了一些成功。下面,本文选取美国著名的脱口秀节目《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》和中国凤凰卫视的《鲁豫有约》进行对比分析。
一、节目背景与受众定位
《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》创办于1986年,受当时女权运动的影响。目标受众主要为午后独自在家的主妇和老人。这些观众感兴趣于如何处理好与家庭伙伴及孩子的关系,解决感情上的困惑,希望得到他人的帮助。因此,《奥普拉秀》以白天日播的形式出现,试图为人们提供一个情感依托的空间,一个心理疗养所《奥普拉秀》将谈论的话题定位在社会、家庭生活领域,既不以制造公众闹剧来哗众取宠,也不以揭露隐私来赚取收视率,而是坚持在平平淡淡的相互倾诉中,为人们解决各种现实生活问题。
而《鲁豫有约》的诞生较晚,是凤凰卫视中文台在2002年1月推出的为陈鲁豫量身定做的一档谈话节目。作为凤凰卫视话语空间的代表,《鲁豫有约》的目标受众定位于一批文化层次高、收入高、社会地位高的人群,注重节目内涵和深度,体现出一定的社会责任感。《鲁豫有约》“寻访拥有特殊经历的人物,一起见证历史,思索人生,直指生命的体验与心灵秘密,创造一种新颖的谈话纪录,充满人情味”。
不同的开播背景与受众定位,决定了两档节目的在栏目理念及文化取向上的不同。但是两者所渗透的人文关怀是共通的,也是吸引观众的关键之处。
二、节目理念
从两档节目的名称就可以看出其各自所承载的不同理念。“秀”,顾名思义,《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》角度的体现的是主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞的个人风格与人格魅力,甚至展现私人空间于观众面前。《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》较多的体现的是人道主义精神,较多的关注和选取的话题是虐待儿童、减肥困难、缺乏自信、家庭生活等与普通老百姓息息相关的现实问题,试图通过对典型事例的分析与探讨,给人们以指导性的建议。
而《鲁豫有约》从其名称及其副题就可以看出,“有约”两字体现它更倾向于聊天的风格,给人以温馨、亲切的感觉;“说出你的故事”,体现了节目的内容是以嘉宾讲述自己的故事为主,而观众与主持人则主要是作为听故事的人,甚至很少发表评论,把思考的空间留给观众。《鲁豫有约》更多地表现为一种叙事类的谈话,往往选择一些有着特殊经历和生活体验的人,让他们将自己的回忆、故事、心境与观众一同分享,试图以一种兼具人性和历史的视角,来解读普通人的生活体验和人生观,一同见证历史,思索人生,感受生命的体验,揭示心灵的秘密。
三、节目形态
《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》和《鲁豫有约》两档节目通常都由演播室的现场访谈和预先摄制的背景短片组成,而演播室的布置更是有异曲同工之处,特别是那张宽大舒适的沙发,为访谈嘉宾营造一个相对舒适、自然的谈话场,几乎成为谈话类节目标志性的符号。
《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》选取的话题一般为话题性较强的有争议性或轰动性的事件或是一些令人困惑的心理问题,因此,节目有时候也会邀请一些心理专家到场,并提出一些建议。由于相对开放的传播环境,嘉宾和主持人都相对开放,敢于并愿意在屏幕上展现自己,“秀”出自己的个性与魅力。
而《鲁豫有约》在话题的选取上多在“情”字上做文章,注重每期只针对一个话题展开,以情动人,以情联事,以情传情,主持人用平和、安静、关爱而富有人文色彩的提问开启嘉宾的情感之闸,而嘉宾往往有感于知遇之情真诚地敞开心扉。由于中华文化的含蓄内敛,孕育了沉静的民族性格。《鲁豫有约》中邀请的嘉宾往往需要主持人调动嘉宾的情绪,让他们渐渐打开话闸、敞开心扉,才能使谈话得以自然流畅地展开。
四、主持人
作为谈话类节目,主持人的个人因素显得尤为重要,甚至直接关系到节目的成功与否。由于奥普拉·温弗瑞和陈鲁豫不同的生活背景和人生经历,他们在节目中展现给观众的姿态截然不同。
奥普拉·温弗瑞出生在一个贫困、破碎的黑人家庭,由于种族原因,自小变遭受了很多虐待与歧视。由于幼时的苦难生活,他对生活在美国社会底层的人民有了深刻的了解,对女性、儿童、心理疾病者等弱势群体深怀同情之心,同事给以真切的关怀,为他们的权利而努力、呼吁。在《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》中奥普拉展示的是一位真诚敏锐的女性形象,她与被访者一样具有成熟的思想和相同的经历,更能设身处地地站在嘉宾的立场上按问题、想问题,还乐于敞开自己的心扉,真诚地与观众进行感情交流。她与被访者平等对话并在最恰当的时机提出最恰当的问题,进行交锋和碰撞以求能够挖掘出被访者最真实而深刻的思想。由于温弗瑞的善于倾听,使得她在观众中极有人缘,人们称她为“每一位妇女的朋友”、“一个好打听的邻居”。
而陈鲁豫出生在北京一个充满书卷气的家庭,1988年考入北京广播学院英语系国际新闻专业,五年的专业学习,收到了良好的教育,为她今后的主持事业打下了坚实的基础。鲁豫始终如一的微笑和内敛的谦和态度,在为被访者创造场内轻松语境的同时也为受众创造了场外自然的语境。鲁豫在采访过程中,善于用一种体贴、温柔的态度拨动嘉宾的心弦。在节目过程中,鲁豫始终微笑着提问,微笑着倾听,坐得很端庄,偶尔露出惊奇而不过分的神情。她那安静淡定的气质赢得了嘉宾的信赖,使他们能够袒露心声。鲁豫作为当代知识分子的代表,更多的是从这一阶层的立场和角度来理解嘉宾的故事,也体现了知识分子的政治诉求和人文情怀。
五、总结
总而言之,无论是《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》还是《鲁豫有约》,都有自己独特的风格、特点和优势,可谓各有千秋,作为两档成功的电视谈话类节目,无论是在节目理念还是主持人风格上,都有值得学习与借鉴之处。
第二篇:奥普拉·温弗瑞 讲稿
她是私生子,却被母亲遗弃
奥普拉是一个私生子,从小跟妈妈一起生活。难以置信的是,9岁时候,她受到了自己堂兄的侵犯,年幼的她默默忍受了。不懂世事的她因为缺乏教育和管理,14岁那年,她意外怀孕了,连孩子的父亲是谁都不知道;更不幸的是,没过几年,孩子便早夭了,她又重归堕落。她的童年生活,简直可以用悲惨来形容。
或许是因为私生子的关系,从小母亲便对她不好。犯了一点小错便会受到母亲的责骂。缺乏良好的教育,再加上母亲对她置之不理,恶性循环,小奥普拉一步步走向堕落。她的母亲难以忍受她,便将她送到了父亲的身边。可作为一个私生子,又是黑人,她又能有多好的待遇呢?
父亲和继母对她严加管教,有时候甚至以不学习不让吃饭来威胁她。离开了抛弃她的母亲,好在坚强的她并未放弃自己,接受着这来之不易的改造机会。
她仿佛是个灰姑娘,可她没有绝美的面庞,没有好心的精灵,她只有自己。于她而言,王子并不是改变人生的关键,她在功课上特别努力,并且最后考上了大学,赢得了田纳西州小姐的桂冠。她在大众眼里确实并不美丽,甚至属于长得很丑的类型。幸运的是,当时的评审看中了她的机智和才华。认为她是一个可塑之才。而这才华远远胜过光有美貌的其他人。也正是她出色的口才,为她后来赢得了著名广播公司的青睐。
长得太丑,去整容都无人接收
毕业后的她很快有了一份工作,却并未得到她意料中的反馈,于是,她被调职了。与此同时,她的领导要求她去整容,因为她的相貌不符合当时黑人美女的要求。可悲并且无奈的是,连整容医生看到她的脸都觉得无药可救,不想给她做手术。
这看似幸运,却又像是赤裸裸的嘲讽。然而成功怎会是朝夕之间的成就呢?
若容貌是阻碍,便用才华披荆斩棘,若挫折是机遇,便要越挫越勇。
看脸的时代又怎么样,她就算没有一张美脸照样可以活得很出色。调职后的她更加发奋努力,很快她就掌握到了要领,迅速打响名气,成为红极一时的女主持人。芝加哥美国广播公司也因此注意到了她,以23万美元的年薪将奥普拉招致麾下。她是灰姑娘,但要当的是女将领,而不是公主
虽然她已经名声大噪,但是在那个时候,女人和黑人仍然是容易被看轻的。传媒行业日新月异,倘若不创新,停滞不前,她很快就会被取代,这样的危机感促使着她对节目不断进行着改革。
在她眼中,传统从来都不是桎梏,而是用来被打破的东西。
第一个创新者总是面临着更多的阻碍,可她从未却步。她渴望更成功、更优秀,她这位灰姑娘与生俱来就是要成为一名女将领,而非公主。
在她的节目里,也没有固定形式。不是一对一面对镜头开始审问试的访谈,有时会布置成晚宴的形式,让参与的嘉宾能够做到完全放松和信任自己,当成自己久违的好友一样促膝长谈。甚至每每在谈到自己的时候,也毫不避讳提及不堪回首的过去。
黑色玫瑰,也能发出耀眼光芒
“奥普拉脱口秀”成为她的个人品牌,直到今天一直占据着美国“脱口秀”节目的头把交椅。
她凭借个人魅力,邀请得了从不轻易上节目的流行天王迈克尔·杰克逊,而迈克尔也在她的节目中真正披露心声,甚至第一次坦言他的皮肤让人难以理解地变白,是因为罹患白癜风。
《我心永恒》的演唱者席琳·迪翁曾24次登上奥普拉脱口秀,美国总统奥巴马曾携夫人参加节目,第一夫人米歇尔的50岁生日,更是在奥普拉的别墅中度过的。
能够达到如此成就,已经可谓是人生赢家了。
多年的拼搏仿佛已经成为了惯性,她无法停下前进的脚步。越是从黑暗中走出来的人越是惧怕黑暗。哪怕她敢于在节目中袒露自己混沌的过往,可是经历再怎样久远,也会留下一抹疤痕。
可是坚毅的人,就能凭借自己的努力,让疤痕变为勋章。拍电影、出书、做传媒公司,她永远都没有停止脚步。结交了世界名流,顺利跻身上层社会,获得各类殊荣。现在,再也没有人会嘲笑她长得丑。就算曾经有再多的黑历史,现在也已经靠自己的努力完全洗白。那些黑历史不是她屈辱的过往,而是前行的动力。对大众来说,奥普拉已经是成功女人的典范,可是对她来说,成功始终是下一个目的地。
一个人想要彻头彻尾、由内而外的改变,最重要的影响因素还是她自己。“做一件事最好的时机是十年前,其次是现在。”当别人都否定你的时候,自己一定要记得肯定自己。
终有一天,你的所有努力都会得到回报,即使不被大众所熟知,你也会成为你自己的英雄。当你再回首,你会感谢当时不言放弃的自己。

脱口秀女王奥普拉2008年在斯坦福大学毕业典礼的演讲
奥普拉·温弗瑞:
美国著名的脱口秀主持人。其主持和制作的节目《奥普拉脱口秀》(the oprah winfrey show,又译作《奥普拉·温芙瑞秀》、《奥普拉秀》、《欧普拉·温芙瑞秀》、《欧普拉秀》等),是美国历史上收视率最高的脱口秀节目。同时,它也是美国历史上播映时间最长的日间电视脱口秀节目。从1986年12月8日至今,这个节目已经走过了20多个年头,播放了多达3000多集。北京时间2009年11月20日,据国外媒体报道,在播出了23年之后,《奥普拉脱口秀》将于2011年9月9日结束。thank you, president hennessy, and to thetrustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the stanford graduates.thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.hennessy校长,全体教员,家长,还有斯坦福的毕业生门,非常感谢你们。感谢你们让我和你们分享这美好的一天。
我决定透漏一个小秘密给大家来作为这次演讲的开始。这个秘密就是kirby bumpus,斯坦福2008年的毕业生,是我的义女。所以当hennessy校长让我来做演讲时,我受宠若惊,因为自从kirby来这上学以来,这是我第一次被允许到斯坦福来。
正如你们知道的那样kirby是一个非常聪明的女孩。她说,她希望大家通过她自己的努力了解她,而不是她认识谁。因此她从来不希望每一个第一次见到她的人知道她认识我。当她和她妈妈第一次来到斯坦福参加开学典礼时,我听说每个人都十分热情。他们说:“我的天啊,那是gayle king”。因为很多人都知道gayle king是我最好的朋友。
有些人走到kirby面前,对kirby说:“我的天啊,那是gayle king吗?”kirby说:“嗯,她是我妈妈。”然后人们说:“我的天啊,难道说,你认识oprah winfrey。”kirby说:“有点吧。”
i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof.i have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey with me on all fours.so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus.and im so happy to be here, just happy that i finally, after four years, get to see her room.theres really nowhere else id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, who graduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other in psychology.love you, kirby cakes!thats how well i know her.i can call her cakes.我说:“有一点。你有一点认识我”。我还有照片为证。我可以把kirby 和我骑马时的照片e-mail给你们。因此我不仅仅只是有点认识kirby bumpus。我非常高兴来到这里,因为四年来我第一次来到她的寝室。我为kirby感到自豪,因为她获得了人类生物学和心理学的双学位。这就是我多么的了解她。我可以叫她cakes。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and her brother, will.i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would say, im getting ready to go to stanford.我为她的父母感到骄傲,她的父母给了她很大帮助,还有她的哥哥will。我对kirby大学四年真的没有什么帮助。但是在过去的几周里,每当人们问我在做什么时,我都会说:“我正准备去斯坦福” i just love saying stanford.because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford.i went to tennessee state university.but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit.and i figured, im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.because by that point, i was already on television.id been in television since i was 19 and a sophomore.granted, i was the only television anchor person that had an 11 oclock curfew doing the 10 oclock news.我就是喜欢这样说stanford(用一种奇怪的语调)。因为这是真的,我知道根本不会拿到我的学位,因为我没有去斯坦福念书。我去了tennessee 州立大学。但是我本来不会拿到我的毕业证,因为我本应该在1975年毕业,但是我少了一个学分。我认为我还是会忘了这件事。你们知道,我不会比得上我的同班同学。因为我已经上了电视。我在19岁还是大学二年级的时候就已经上了电视。我是唯一一个电视节目主持人,虽然有11点的宵禁,却做着10点钟的新闻。篇四:奥普拉哈佛毕业典礼演讲:人生唯一目标就是做真实的自己

第四篇:2013年奥普拉·温弗瑞哈佛毕业典礼演讲稿
奥普拉2013哈佛大学毕业典礼英语演讲稿:
Oh my goodness!I'm at Harvard!Wow!To President Faust, my fellow honorands, Carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson, Harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend Dr.Henry Lewis Gates.All of you alumni with a special bow to the class of '88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.And to you, members of the Harvard class of 2013!Hello!I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the commencement of your next chapter.To say that I'm honored doesn't even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really accompanies an honorary doctorate from Harvard.Not too many little girls from rural Mississippi have made it all the way here to Cambridge.And I can tell you that I consider today as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, I consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey.My one hope today is that I can be a source of some inspiration.I'm going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad.Actually I was so honored I wanted to do something really special for you.I wanted to be able to have you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but I see you got that covered already.I will be honest with you.I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that I could share with you that you hadn't heard before because after all you all went to Harvard, I did not.But then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go to Harvard to have a driven obsessive Type A personality.But it helps.And while I may not have graduated from here I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they come.You know my television career began unexpectedly.As you heard this morning I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest.That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that I entered.So they were doing the question and answer period because I knew I wasn't going to win under the swimsuit competition.So during the question and answer period the question came “Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?” And by the time they got to me all the good answers were gone.So I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered “I would like to be a journalist.I would like to tell other people's stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world.” And as those words were coming out of my mouth I went whoa!This is pretty good!I would like to be a journalist.I want to make a difference.Well I was on television by the time I was 19 years old.And in 1986 I launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first.I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew.Sound familiar to anybody here? Eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years.The Oprah Winfrey Show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and I have to tell you I became pretty comfortable with that level of success.But a few years ago I decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground.So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.The initials just worked out for me.So one year later after launching OWN nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop.Not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it.I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today and read the headline “Oprah, not quite standing on her OWN.” I mean really, USA Today? Now that's the nice newspaper!It really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life.I was stressed and I was frustrated and quite frankly I was actually I was embarrassed.It was right around that time that President Faust called and asked me to speak here and I thought you want me to speak to Harvard graduates? What could I possibly say to Harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding? So I got off the phone with President Faust and I went to the shower.It was either that or a bag of Oreos.So I chose the shower.And I was in the shower a long time and as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me.You may not know it.It's “By and by, when the morning comes.” And I started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time I thought I was stuck in a hole.And the words came to me “Trouble don't last always” from that hymn, “this too shall pass.” And I thought as I got out of the shower I am going to turn this thing around and I will be better for it.And when I do, I'm going to go to Harvard and I'm going to speak the truth of it!So I'm here today to tell you I have turned that network around!And it was all because I wanted to do it by the time I got to speak to you all so thank you so much.You don't know what motivation you were for me, thank you.I'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned even as graduates of Harvard unless you studied the ancient Greek hero with Professor Nagy.Professor Nagy as we were coming in this morning said “Please Ms.Winfrey, walk decisively.” I shall walk decisively.This is what I want to share.It doesn't matter how far you might rise.At some point you are bound to stumble because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar.If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the Myth of Icarus predicts that you will at some point fall.And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure.Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.Now when you're down there in the hole, it looks like failure.So this past year I had to spoon feed those words to myself.And when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes, it's really okay to feel bad for a little while.Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here's the key, learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.And then figure out what is the next right move.And the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional G.P.S.that can tell you which way to go.Because now and forever more when you Google yourself your search results will read “Harvard, 2013”.And in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when I see “Harvard” I sit up a little straighter and say “Where is he or she? Bring them in.” it's an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, C.E.O., scientist, physicist, winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes or late night talk show host.But the challenge of life I have found is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be but it's a story about who you want to be.It's a resume that doesn't just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why.A story that's not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that's really about your purpose.Because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole that is the story that will get you out.What is your true calling? What is your dharma? What is your purpose? For me that discovery came in 1994 when I interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need.She raised a thousand dollars all by herself and I thought well if that little 9 year old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that I wonder what I could do? So I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month just from pennies and nickels and dimes we raised more than three million dollars that we used to send one student from every state in the United States to college.That was the beginning of the Angel Network.And so what I did was I simply asked our viewers “Do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life.Give me your time or your talent your money if you have it.” And they did.Extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can.And together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes Rita and Katrina.So the Angel Network I have been on the air for a long time, but it was the Angel Network that actually focused my internal G.P.S.It helped me to decide that I wasn't going to just be on TV every day but that the goal of my shows, my interviews, my business, my philanthropy all of it, whatever ventures I might pursue would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me.Because what had become clear to me and I want you to know it isn't always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old.But around '94 I got really clear.So don't expect the clarity to come all at once to know your purpose right away, but what became clear to me was that I was here on earth to use television and not be used by it;to use television to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels.So this Angel Network, it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped, but the lives of those who also did the helping.It reminded us that no matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe it is both possible and more importantly it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort.I saw something on the Bill Moore Show recently that so reminded me of this point.It was an interview with David and Francine Wheeler.They lost their 7 year old son, Ben in the Sandy Hook tragedy.And even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks had just been voted down in Congress at the time that they were doing this interview they talked about how they refused to be discouraged.Francine said this, she said “Our hearts are broken but our spirits are not.I'm going to tell them what it's like to find a conversation about change that is love, and I'm going to do that without fighting them.” And then her husband David added this, “You simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesn't agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over.And we cannot do that any longer.The problem is too enormous.There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light.” In our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested.And yet, I know you know the truth.We all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout Washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle.Not my channel, by the way.We understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the Second Amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children.They don't have to be incompatible.And we understand that most Americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it's possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the Statue of Liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to our shores.We can do both.And we understand.I know you do because you went to Harvard.There are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity.So the question is what are we going to do about it? Really what are you going to do about it? Maybe you agree with these beliefs.Maybe you don't.Maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of 2013, are passionate about.Maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government.Maybe you want to launch your own television show.Or maybe you simply want to collect some change.Your parents would appreciate that about now.The point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change.Each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school.You now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the life of our country.When you do that let me tell you what I know for sure.That's when your story gets really good.Maya Angelou always says “When you learn, teach.When you get, give.That my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning.” So you all have the power in your own way to develop your own Angel Network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.I did it in an analog world.I was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day.Now here in a world of Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds.You're the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in 2008.And when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you'd be too disappointed, you'd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012 election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers.That's who you are.This generation your generation I know has developed a finely honed radar for B.S.Can you say “B.S.” at Harvard? The spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate.I know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic-an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy.I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience.Most of us I tell you we don't want to be divided.What we want, the common denominator that I found in every single interview, is we want to be validated.We want to be understood.I have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question “Was that okay?” I heard it from President Bush, I heard it from President Obama.I've heard it from heroes and from housewives.I've heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes.I even heard it from Beyonce and all of her Beyonceness.She finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says “Was that okay?” Friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchange I will tell you they all want to know one thing: was that okay? Did you hear me? Do you see me? Did what I say mean anything to you? And even though this is a college where Facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.That you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people.This is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation.“There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light,” says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary Friday in December.So whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is I know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it.And as a young girl from rural Mississippi I learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be Barbara Walters.Although when I first started because I had Barbara in my head I would try to sit like Barbara, talk like Barbara, move like Barbara and then one night I was on the news reading the news and I called Canada Can-a-da, and that was the end of me being Barbara.I cracked myself up on TV.Couldn't stop laughing and my real personality came through and I figured out oh gee, I can be a much better Oprah than I could be a pretend Barbara.I know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those Harvard credentials to the test.But no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you.Theologian Howard Thurman said it best.He said “Don't ask yourself what the world needs.Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” The world needs-People like Michael Stolzenberg from Fort Lauderdale.When Michael was just 8 years old Michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet.And in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever.But in losing who he once was Michael discovered who he wanted to be.He refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again.He joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the Boston Marathon bombing would become new amputees Michael decided to banish that darkness with light.Michael and his brother Harris created Mikeysrun.com to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees.By the time Harris runs the 2014 Boston Marathon.More than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this Boston community the way their community came together to support Michael.And when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this “First they will be sad.They're losing something they will never get back and that's scary.I was scared.But they'll be okay.They just don't know that yet.” We might not always know it.We might not always see it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but I have faith that no matter what class of 2013 you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay.I have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change.I have faith because of David and Francine Wheeler, I have faith because of Michael and Harris Stolzenberg and I have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today.One of them Kadija Williams who came to Harvard four years ago.Kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, Wal-Mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn't smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the Harvard class of 2013.From time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path but I know this, if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still small voice that is the G.P.S.within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay.You will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world.Congratulations class of 2013, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening.Was that okay?
第五篇:奥普拉温弗瑞哈佛演讲观后感
奥普拉温弗瑞哈佛演讲观后感
大学已过了四分之三,毕业将至,新的一页即将翻开,也许有许多人还在悔恨大学这一页的空白。面对人生一个重要的转折点,有对未来的憧憬也有些许彷徨。也许这是面临毕业的人必经的一段路吧!也许大洋彼岸的一所梦幻般的学校里的一次演讲能对你有所启发。奥普拉在哈佛大学2013届毕业典礼上的演讲让我感触颇深。
也许在这个时候有必要回顾一下我们的大学生活。刚刚迈入大学的校门时,我们对一切都充满了好奇。渴望求知的,希望从课堂中体验知识的神奇,感受醉生梦死般的思维境界;热衷学生工作的,疯狂加入各种组织社团,渴望一展才华并提升自己;高中阶段忙着学习没谈恋爱的,憧憬着爱情的美好,不放过任何接近异性的机会。
可结果怎样呢?渴望求知的被高数弄得晕头转向,因为从来没见过这么高的“树”,许多人还挂在了上面。上课玩手机、睡觉的人越来越多,抬头率呈指数规律递减。有的人抱怨太难,想要简单的吗?去幼儿园吧!到那都能当老师了,可你会去吗?要知道真正让我们成长的东西往往是让我们不舒服的东西,而不是称心如意。不要做温水里的青蛙!也有人抱怨老师讲得太烂、太无聊,但有讲得好的啊,于涛老师的微积分,孙秋华老师的大物讲座,你去听过吗?先从自身找原因!热衷学生工作的加入组织后,突然发现这地方不错,平时呼风唤雨、风光无限不说,偶尔还能为自己谋点福利,当初那个不满社会风气,痛恨腐败的你呢?如此下去,社会何安?也有正直的同学看不惯不良风气,一气之下愤然退出。干嘛要走呢?要知道你可是代表正义的一方,此消彼长啊!这个社会需要我们去改变,否则它怎么进步?憧憬爱情的无可厚非,但有些同学的爱情观实在不敢苟同。思修老师的一项调查显示居然有过半同学谈恋爱的目的只是为了玩玩。对自己对他人的青春都不负责任,党和国家怎么敢把大任交于你?
在一定意义上说,我们的大学生活都是失败的。那么,我们就无可救药了吗?当然不是!奥普拉说我们每个人都会遭遇失败,情绪低落,感觉被生活玩弄于股掌之中。记住,即使哈佛的学生也是如此。奥普拉说生活中没有失败,所谓的失败只是生活在引导我们走向另一个更正确的方向。那么我们应该怎么做呢?
我想,首先,我们应该弄清我们究竟想成为怎样的人。的确,我们所受的教育更倾向于按社会的需要来培养我们,像生产产品一样使我们变得标准化,专业化,也无可避免得机械化。但我们是有思想、有灵魂的活生生的人我们应该扪心自问,我想成为什么样的人。奥普拉说我们每个人都应该建立内心深处的道德情感的GPS定位,它会引领我们走自己的人生之路。她还引用名言说问问你自己是什么让你过得更好的,然后就去做你喜欢的这件事,因为这个世界需要的就是我们每个人活的更精彩。不要把工作作为你的目的,它只是我们谋生的手段而已,我们的终极目的应该是做最好的自己!而且我们不应该安于现状,要不断为自己设立更高的目标。当你发现自己满满的都是幸福时,那只能有两种情况,第一,那是个幻想。第二,你已经停止了进步。奥普拉在事业达到顶峰之时都能果断转身,创立OWN,何况我们!
弄清自己想成为什么样的人后,我们需要坚定不移地走下去。梦想需要实干来支撑。也许,在这个过程中,我们会遭受失败与痛苦,正像我们已经遭受并正在遭受的一样。但失败并不可怕。奥普拉说,当你处于低谷时,要给自己悲伤的时间,想想自己失去了什么,之后的事情才是最重要的,要学会从每一次失败中汲取营养,因为每一次经历、挫折、尤其是你所犯的错误都会让你更加明白你是什么样的人并帮助你成为你想成为的人。坚定不移地走下去,就会如一句古老的格言所说,“ 渐渐地,黎明的曙光终将到来!”
成为自己想要成为的人,无疑是件幸福的事。但在这个过程中,我希望我们也不要忘记让自己成为一个有价值的人,为这个社会贡献一点正能量。因为毕竟我们能够生存并活得越来越好,靠的是许多我们知道或者不知道的人的默默奉献。奥普拉说,“W,hen you learn,teach.When you get,give.(有所学时,便去施教。有所得时,便去给予。)”在当今世界,我们这一代似乎在变得越来越冷漠,许多人也许对此观点会嗤之以鼻。但我们是这个社会的一份子,责任的丧失,冷漠的蔓延,将会带给我们自身痛苦。这是一个需要奉献,需要改变的社会,而实施者只能是我们!
希望奥普拉的演讲能对每一个迷茫的人有所裨益,找到自己人生的意义所在,行动起来,和周围人一起去改变世界!希望我们的寝室里不再满目是DOTA,只闻“撸啊撸”!
