十篇著名的大学毕业典礼演讲

第一篇：十篇著名的大学毕业典礼演讲

Famous and Noteworthy College Commencement Speechs Most college commencement speeches consist of bad jokes and bland advice, but there are a few that are made memorable by genuine wit and wisdom.Below are 10 noteworthy commencement speeches offering worldly advice from famous comedians, authors, politicians, entrepreneurs and even a prison inmate.1.Winston Churchill(Harrow School)

Memorable quote: 'Never give in.Never give in.Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.Never yield to force.Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.'

The commencement speech Winston Churchill gave to his old preparatory school in 1941 isn't just famous because he's Winston Churchill-it is also the shortest such speech on record.In fact, the above quote has been used by a whole slew of people who couldn't come up with any other way to close their own commencement speeches.2.Steve Jobs(Stanford University)

Memorable quote: '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.'

Apple co-founder and famed college dropout Steve Jobs gave a highly respected commencement speech to Stanford University students in 2005.He wore his trademark blue jeans and sandals and shared three of the most pivotal points in his life.Jobs also encouraged students to pursue their dreams and dodge the obstacles that hold them back.His speech closed with the sign-off quote from the final issue of The Whole Earth Catalog: 'Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.'

3.Jon Stewart(College of William and Mary)

Memorable quote: 'I'm sure my fellow doctoral graduates--who have spent so long toiling in academia, sinking into debt, sacrificing God knows how many years of what, in truth, is a piece of parchment that, in truth, has been so devalued by our instant gratification culture as to have been rendered meaningless--will join in congratulating me.'

One of the most humorous commencement speeches in recent years was the

speech comedian Jon Stewart gave in 2004 at the College of William and Mary.He began by assuring the parents in the crowd that they would not hear any language that was not common at a Tourette's convention or profanity seminar.The entire speech was peppered

with jokes, but Stewart also dished out valuable advice to graduates near the end, telling them to 'love what you do' and 'get good at it.' 4.Theodor Geisel(Lake Forest College)

Memorable quote: 'As you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good

advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.'

In 1977, the beloved Theodor Geisel(a.k.a.Dr.Seuss)was chosen as the

commencement speaker for Lake Forest College.Both the students and faculty were surprised(yet pleased)when he stood up and recited an original poem called My Uncle Terwilliger on the Art of Eating Popovers in place of a traditional speech.5.Mumia Abu-Jamal(Evergreen State College)

Memorable quote: 'Out of the many here assembled, it is the heart of he or she

that I seek who looks at a life of vapid materialism, of capitalist excess, and finds it simply intolerable.It may be one hundred of you, or fifty, or even ten, or even one of you who

makes that choice.I am here to honor and applaud that choice and to warn you that, though the suffering may indeed be great, it is nothing to the joy of doing the right thing.'

In 1999, Mumia Abu-Jamal gave a controversial commencement speech to

Evergreen State College via audiotape.The speech was controversial because Abu-Jamal was a death row inmate convicted of murdering a police officer.Students, law enforcement officers, the policeman's widow, Congressman Tom DeLay and a number of others protested the school's choice of speakers, but Abu-Jamal's speech was delivered

nevertheless.The 13-minute audiotape included comments on racial oppression and liberation as well as advice for graduating students.6.Russell Baker(Connecticut College)Memorable quote: 'The best advice I can give anybody about going out into the

world is this: Don't do it.I have been out there.It is a mess.'

American columnist, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and political satirist Russell

Baker amused Connecticut College students with his short, but memorable, commencement speech in 1995.The backbone of the speech was Baker's list of 'ten ways to avoid mucking up the world more than it already is.' His advice included 'sleep in the nude' and 'don't take your gun to town.'

7.Will Ferrell(Harvard University)

Memorable quote: 'After months of secret negotiations, several hundred secret

ballots, and a weekend retreat with Vice President Dick Cheney in his secret mountain

bunker, a Class Day speaker was chosen, and it was me.You obviously have made a grave error.But it's too late now.So let's just go with it.'

Love him or hate him, actor Will Ferrell is responsible for one of the funniest and

most unorthodox speeches ever made at a Harvard commencement.The 2003 Class Day speech was full of jokes and included an uncanny George Bush impersonation.8.Stephen Colbert(Knox College)

Memorable quote: 'I have two last pieces of advice.First, being pre-approved for a credit card does not mean you have to apply for it.And lastly, the best career advice I can give you is to get your own TV show.It pays well, the hours are good, and you are famous.'

Stephen Colbert's 2006 commencement speech at Knox College is one of the most oft-read speeches on the Internet.Colbert's speech features his trademark humor and

candid advice for college grads.He also shows off his ability to ask for a McDonald's Happy Meal in five different languages.9.David Foster Wallace(Kenyon College)

Memorable quote: 'Twenty years after my own graduation, I have come gradually to understand that the liberal arts cliché about teaching you how to think is actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.It means being

conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.'

In 2005, a couple of years before his tragic suicide, influential postmodern author

David Foster Wallace delivered the commencement speech at Kenyon College.Both witty and wise, the speech explored the value of a liberal arts education and offered some very practical advice on surviving the ins and outs of real life.10.J.K.Rowling(Harvard University)

Memorable quote: 'The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive.You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.'

J.K.Rowling may be one of the best-selling authors of all time, but before she

published Harry Potter she was an unemployed single parent one step away from

homelessness.In her poignant 2008 commencement speech at Harvard, Rowling shared the value of failure and the importance of imagination.

第二篇：著名毕业典礼演讲

世界十大最著名毕业典礼上的演讲 1.david foster wallace，美国著名小说作家、评论家、幽默作家，代表作《无尽的玩笑》，入选《时代周刊》“百部最佳英文小说”。david foster wallace2008年9月13日患抑郁症自杀家中，享年46岁。david foster wallace, kenyon, 2005 learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think.it means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.this address at kenyon was vintage wallace: a smart, occasionally meandering discussion of the issues that consumed him, from the banality of life to the meaning of consciousness.i know that this stuff probably doesnt sound fun and breezy and grandly inspirational, he concluded.what it is, so far as i can see, is the truth...the capital-t truth is about life before death.it is about making it to 30, or maybe 50, without wanting to shoot yourself in the head.all the reasons wallace didnt make it to 50 are apparent here;in hindsight, the speech reads like the first draft of a suicide note for an author who took his own life last year at age 46.while its a macabre read, theres tons thats worthwhile here: the speech crackles with wit and intelligence — and offers tricks for escaping the depression to which wallace ultimately succumbed。

2．steve jobs，苹果电脑创始人，声名显赫的“计算机狂人” steve jobs, stanford, 2005 your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life.dont be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.and most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition...stay hungry, stay foolish.3.conan obrien，美国著名脱口秀主持人。conan obrien, harvard(class day), 2000 i left the cocoon of harvard, i left the cocoon of saturday night live, i left the cocoon of the simpsons.and each time it was bruising and tumultuous.and yet, every failure was freeing, and today im as nostalgic for the bad as i am for the good。so, thats what i wish for all of you: the bad as well as the good.fall down, make a mess, break something occasionally.and remember that the story is never over.when conan obrien spoke at harvard universitys 2000 class day, he had a lot of things to say — many of them about harvard.obrien graduated from the prestigious university in 1985, and he took at few shots at his alma maters expense.the last time i was invited to harvard it cost me $110,000, he said, so youll forgive me if im a bit suspicious.he endured along the way.he discussed his bombed television pilot, embarrassingly bad reviews and what it was like to be 28 and unemployed in new york city, proving that no one, not even the man who would one day take over the tonight show, escapes disappointment and self-doubt.but despite his stumbles, obrien kept going.and he told harvards class of 2000 that they should too。4.russell baker，《纽约时报》专栏作家，1982年普利策奖获得者。成名作为个人自传《成长》。russell baker, connecticut college, 1995 listen once in a while.its amazing what you can hear.on a hot summer day in the country you can hear the corn growing, the crack of a tin roof buckling under the power of the sun.in a real old-fashioned parlor silence so deep you can hear the dust settling on the velveteen settee, you might hear the footsteps of something sinister gaining on you, or a heart-stoppingly beautiful phrase from mozart you havent heard since childhood, or the voice of somebody — now gone — whom you loved.or sometime when youre talking up a storm so brilliant, so charming that you can hardly believe how wonderful you are, pause just a moment and listen to yourself.its good for the soul to hear yourself as others hear you, and next time maybe, just maybe, you will not talk so much, so loudly, so brilliantly, so charmingly, so utterly shamelessly foolishly。

baker, a pulitzer prize–winning author and columnist, knows how to reach college kids.hes funny and engaging(the best advice i can give anybody about going out into the world is this: dont do it)without being cynical, and lands enough light jabs to remind his audience that his advice — from get married to sleep in the nude — is worth heeding。5．winston churchill，英国前首相。winston churchill, harrow school, 1941 never give in.never give in.never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.no leader in history, perhaps, matched churchills capacity for 6.george marshall，1880-1959，美国将军、政治家，出任国务卿期间，推出欧洲复兴计划。篇二：十篇著名的大学毕业典礼演讲 1.winston churchill(harrow school)memorable quote: never give in.never give in.never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense.never yield to force.never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.3.jon stewart(college of william and mary)memorable quote: im sure my fellow doctoral graduates--who have spent so long toiling in academia, sinking into debt, sacrificing god knows how many years of what, in truth, is a piece of parchment that, in truth, has been so devalued by our instant gratification culture as to have been rendered meaningless--will join in congratulating me.with jokes, but stewart also dished out valuable advice to graduates near the end, telling them to love what you do and get good at it.4.theodor geisel(lake forest college)memorable quote: as you partake of the worlds bill of fare, thats darned good advice to follow.do a lot of spitting out the hot air.and be careful what you swallow.in 1977, the beloved theodor geisel(a.k.a.dr.seuss)was chosen as the memorable quote: out of the many here assembled, it is the heart of he or she that i seek who looks at a life of vapid materialism, of capitalist excess, and finds it simply intolerable.it may be one hundred of you, or fifty, or even ten, or even one of you who makes that choice.i am here to honor and applaud that choice and to warn you that, though the suffering may indeed be great, it is nothing to the joy of doing the right thing.evergreen state college via audiotape.the speech was controversial because abu-jamal was a death row inmate convicted of murdering a police officer.students, law enforcement officers, the policemans widow, congressman tom delay and a number of others protested the schools choice of speakers, but abu-jamals speech was delivered 6.russell baker(connecticut college)memorable quote: the best advice i can give anybody about going out into the world is this: dont do it.i have been out there.it is a mess.american columnist, pulitzer prize-winning author and political satirist russell 7.will ferrell(harvard university)memorable quote: after months of secret negotiations, several hundred secret ballots, and a weekend retreat with vice president dick cheney in his secret mountain bunker, a class day speaker was chosen, and it was me.you obviously have made a grave error.but its too late now.so lets just go with it.love him or hate him, actor will ferrell is responsible for one of the funniest and memorable quote: i have two last pieces of advice.first, being pre-approved for a credit card does not mean you have to apply for it.and lastly, the best career advice i can give you is to get your own tv show.it pays well, the hours are good, and you are famous.candid advice for college grads.he also shows off his ability to ask for a mcdonalds happy meal in five different languages.9.david foster wallace(kenyon college)conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed.in 2005, a couple of years before his tragic suicide, influential postmodern author 10.j.k.rowling(harvard university)memorable quote: the knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive.you will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity.such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification i ever earned.j.k.rowling may be one of the best-selling authors of all time, but before she published harry potter she was an unemployed single parent one step away from 10大最佳毕业典礼演讲

what makes a great speech? persuasion.成就一场演讲的是什么？说服力。

分析沟通技能公司quantified impressions的专家认为，这是与听众建立联系的关键点——至少当听众是大学毕业生时是这样的。

这家公司选出了31场被媒体称为精彩难忘的毕业嘉宾演讲，对照一般演讲和日常对话数据库进行了评估。分析涵盖了80项不同的指标，结果发现，这31场演讲最普遍的共性就是说服力指标或变量。and based on that, quantified impressions came up with a list of 10 best speeches.根据这项分析评估，quantified impressions评选出了十佳毕业典礼演讲。these speeches are the best because the speakers persuade the audience to be emotionally moved, says noah zandan, quantified impressions president.“这些演讲非常出色，演讲者从情感上说服了听众，让他们真心被打动，”quantified impressions的总裁诺阿?赞登说。turns out, the best speakers persuade by doing three key things.they explain their relevance(i was just like you).they give insight(heres what life will be like).and they use inclusive words:you, we, us, with, along.分析显示，这些顶级的演讲人做了三件关键的事情。与听众建立联系（“当时我就像你们一样”）。提供真知灼见（“我们来谈谈，未来生活将是什么样子？”）。使用包容性的词汇：你们、我们、和、与。

排在第一名的人不出意料是奥普拉?温弗里。她五年前在斯坦福大学（stanford）做的那次演讲事实上超出了她上周对哈佛（harvard）毕业生做的演讲。the speech ranked no.3 below is particularly historic this week: its 50 years ago this month that john f.kennedy, in the midst of the cold war and on the heels of the cuban missile crisis, startled the soviets by offering unilateral nuclear restraint.排名第三的演讲本周特别值得怀念：五十年前的6月，正值冷战时期，古巴导弹危机（cuban missile crisis）刚刚发生，约翰?f.?肯尼迪提出的单边核克制震动了苏联人。1.oprah winfrey2005, kenyon 2.大卫?福斯特?华莱士——2005年, 肯尼恩学院（kenyon）3.john f.kennedy1977, university of california, riverside 4.玛雅?安吉罗——1977年，加利福尼亚大学大学河滨分校（university of california, riverside）

第三篇：大学毕业典礼院长演讲

曾以为这段日子非常漫长，此刻都已打包存盘。四年前（也许是两年前、三年前甚或是十年前），夏末初秋，你怯生生走进了这个校园。时间像刚出屉的馒头，饱满且热气腾腾；“发现你的热爱”，每一天都在心灵中占了很多空间。后来，日子渐渐慵懒起来，周而复始，“同上”、“同上”??似乎是费孝通先生童年的日记；后来就变成了对寒假、暑假以及毕业的期盼。但此刻，时光又一次丰满起来，每件事都很细腻和缠绵；在今晚的“散伙宴会”上，或许是未来几天的一次开怀大笑后或独自发呆时，莫名的酸楚涌动着不期而至，终于，你一个大小伙子变得比女孩还脆弱，泪水扑簌而下，甚至相拥着，肆无忌惮地哭泣……。

六月是最残忍的；一转身，校园硬生生地扯断了、拽下了一段你舍不下的青春。

其实入学和毕业都只是人生的片刻。“天地不仁，视万物为刍狗”，想来，在天地的眼中这一刻也不会有什么特别。只是，与之相伴的微笑和泪水表明了我们人类不完全是，或者说注定无法成为，纯粹理性的动物。我们无法超越肉身，成为自己生活的无情旁观者。许多时刻、许多地方和许多人因我们获得了特别的意义----对于我们；我们为它或他或她而感动.我们是为自己感动：为我们的无知，为我们的年轻；为我们故意装出来的粗鲁和野蛮，为我们掩饰不住的温情与脆弱；为那个夜晚未名湖畔你野狼般的吼歌；为那个白天一教门前飘过你眼前一个倩影；为“非典”时被隔离的惊惶；为院庆100周年前夜的忙碌；为连战和李敖的造访北大；为杨利伟和神

五、神六的穿云登天……。为那再也不会有的、只属于你的这个集体，为了那再也不会有的、只属于你的这个离别。为所有虚度的和没有虚度的时光感动，为我们是那么容易感动而感动；或者，什么都不为，就只是感动，因为我们自恋、敏感和矫情，因为我们率性和真诚。

在这个因市场竞争而日益理性和匆忙的年代，说实话，我希望你们保持这样一份真性情。有所追求但不刻意，渴望成功但也接受平凡，无论是在学业上还是在事业上，无论是从政还是经商，无论是面对爱情还是面对功名。我在其他地方说过，不是一切努力都没有结果，但也不是一切努力都有结果；不是最努力的就一定最有结果，更不是努力就有一个确定的结果。不要把生活变成一项志在必得的竞赛，因为生活不是竞赛。

因此，不要总是拿自己同别人比，无论是昨天的同学还是明天的同事，除非你想把自己往死路上逼，把自己变成别人的影子，把生活变成自己的炼狱。每个人的天分和机会都有差别。你是戴昕，你是游艺，你是田田（请允许我这样称呼庄田田同学），你们都不是刘翔；而且，即使就是刘翔，你就真的愿意天天比赛??哪怕是奥运会？我们当然希望，也相信，你们有骄人的成就；但如果没有，只是做好了自己的事，问心无愧，那就足够好了，那就是有出息。不要仅仅生活在他人的期待中，或者被北大的牌子压得喘不过气来，也千万不要把“明天北大为我而自豪”太当真。什么地方规定了北大的毕业生就不能平凡、平庸甚或是失败？就不能比别人收入低，房子小，就必须有车？请记住你父母亲的话，一句老百姓的话，“平平安安就是福”。

也因此，你们千万不要上了某些法学教科书的当，总觉得，或刻意寻找，社会或某个人欠了你什么，这里没有起点公平，那里没有结果公平。一不小心，你会把一生都用来挑剔抱怨了。生活从来就有许多偶然、意外，幸与不幸，以及许多你认为的不公平，无论是在事业上还是在情感上。但无论什么，都只能面对，那为什么不从容一些??人所谓的荣辱不惊？其实，你走进和毕业于北大法学院，虽不是纯属偶然，但也并非天经地义；其中就可能有一丝幸运，而你这一丝幸运的背后或许就有你的许多不知名同代人的失落、遗憾甚至不公平感。我当然不是在劝说你们听天由命；你们一定不会。我想告诉你们的只是，愤懑和抱怨都是沙漠，山野丛莽间的杜鹃才会让你懂得什么叫做怒放；当你抱怨时，你就是在毁灭你的当下，就正在失去创造和享受生活的这一刻。如果你看不清这一点，你就不会有幸福，也不配享受幸福。

而我希望你们幸福。

这是临别之际我对你们的真切希望，一个也许太平庸俗气的希望。只是也许。我并不认为庸俗，即使在这一有点庄严的场合和背景下。高谈阔论，宏大话语，你们已经听了很多，尤其是在北大，尤其是在北大法学院；但即使句句正确，连续的高亢单音也只是高分贝的噪声，会让人受不了，更会湮灭心灵的感悟和感受。因此，每年的毕业典礼上，我都没打算对你们重复什么正义或人权，勤奋刻苦或自强不息，而只是絮叨一些小道理，希望你们幸福。似乎不合时宜，但即使是“依法治国”，又有什么地方规定了毕业典礼上院长就只能说一番大道理，不能说一些悄悄话？只能豪情满怀，不能温情脉脉？而如果不是希望你们幸福，我们还能为什么工作？你们的父母又为什么辛劳？而如果不是首先希望你们幸福，我们又如何追求和拓展人类的幸福？

我，以及北大法学院的老师们，都爱着你们；除了家人，也只可能首先爱你们。也许，在这个高歌人权和全球化的时代，我的这种情感、思想和表达都已经落伍，至少是不那么政治正确。但我并不因此惭愧和惶恐。作为生物的和社会的人，我们的感受、想象和爱其实都注定是地方性的、狭窄的，有时甚至是“自私”的。“孩子是自己的好”是老百姓的俗话，而我们都是些俗人。但别忘了，耶稣基督对其信徒的要求也不过是“爱你的邻人”。我坚持

“老吾老，以及人之老，幼吾幼，以及人之幼”；这才是我们真正可以实践地拓展我们的感受力、想象和关爱的实在出发点和可靠路径。

首先爱你的亲人，你的朋友，你的同胞，你的祖国；这其实不是一个要求，而更多是一个祝福----只有这里你才会发现你情感的归宿；否则，能有谁真正分享你的成功，或分担你的痛苦？

无论此刻你是多么向往远方，憧憬未来，即将远走他乡，甚至飘洋过海，都请相信我，多少年过去后，你光洁的脸庞变得粗糙，纤细的腰身变得臃肿，在一个飘雪的薄暮，或是细雨的清晨，永远也不知道为什么，你柔软地想起的不会是图片或电影中的哈佛、耶鲁，不会是宇宙间某个遥远星球上陌生的高等生物，而只会是这个让你心疼过的校园，这个残忍的六月，这些相拥而泣的兄弟姐妹，也许还有你们的……。

祝福你们！北大法学院祝福你们！

第四篇：外国大学毕业典礼演讲

大学生必看的5个国外名人毕业典礼演讲节选 1.乔布斯（steve jobs）在斯坦福毕业典礼的演讲——stay hungry.stay foolish.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.当我十七岁的时候，我读到了一句话：“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话，那么有一天你会发现你是正确的。”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那时开始，过了33 年，我在每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢？”当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候，我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。2.杰夫·贝佐斯（jeff bezos）在普林斯顿毕业典礼的演讲——we are our choices.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.我认为我不会为失败地尝试而遗憾，但是有所决定但完全不去付诸行动则可能会一直煎熬着我。will inertia be your guide，or will you follow your passions？

你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情？ will you follow dogma，or will you be original？

你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新？ will you choose a life of ease，or a life of service and adventure？

你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生？ will you wilt under criticism，or will you follow your convictions？

你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念？ will you bluff it out when you’re wrong，or will you apologize？ 你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉？ will you guard your heart against rejection，or will you act when you fall in love？

你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前？ will you play it safe，or will you be a little bit swashbuckling？

你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪？ when it’s tough，will you give up，or will you be relentless？

你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行？ will you be a cynic，or will you be a builder？

你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者？ will you be clever at the expense of others，or will you be kind？

你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良？ 3.jk罗琳在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲——as is a tale，so is life： not how long it is，but how good it is，is what matters 如果能回到过去，她会告诉21岁的自己：一个人的幸福在于他懂得——生活不等于你的收获和成就。你的简历，你的证书并不代表你的生活，尽管很多人会混淆着两者。生活是如此的复杂，任何人都无法掌控它。明白了这一点，你就能够宠辱不惊。4.奥普拉（oprah）在斯坦福2008年毕业典礼上的演讲——feelings，failure and finding happiness.正如b.b.king所说：“关于学习的美好在于别人不会把知识从你身上拿走”。学习正是我今天想说的，因为你们的教育并没有在这里结束。在很多情况下，这才是刚刚开使。这个世界将会教会你们很多。我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一个学校和我们人生的教室。有时这些课程会是弯路和障碍。有时会充满危机。我所学的应付这一切的秘密就是去勇于面对，正如我们面对大学课程一样。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.现在我想谈谈失败。没有人他的一生是一帆风顺的。我们都会遇到困难，受到挫折。如果事情出错了，你进入了死胡同，这正是生活在告诉你是时候改变了。所以，每当遇到困难和危机时，我都会问它教会了我什么？只要你吸取了教训，你就会继续前进。如果你真正吸取了教训，你就会顺利通过考验，不用再取经受失败了。如果你没有吸取教训，它会以另外一种形式给出现在你面前并给你一些补救。

5、ellen degeneres在纽奥良大学的毕业典礼——you’re going to be ok 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 因此，这是不是结论的结论，当我年轻时，对成功的定义不同，我想我的志愿是：我想出名，想当明星，拍电影，我想要去看世界，开名车，有一群死党?? 但今日我对成功的定义变了，当你长大，你就会发现这点。对你们中的很多人来说，成功的定义是能灌下20杯龙舌兰酒（大家笑）。对我来说，生命中最重要的事是：活得诚实！别逼自己去做不是真正的你，要活得正直，有怜悯之心，在某些方面有所贡献。

因此，这是结论的结论（众人笑）：追随热情，忠于自我，绝不要追随别人的脚步，除非你在森林里迷路了才要这么做。别给人忠告，别接受任何人的忠告。所以?我要给大家的忠告是（大家大笑）：做真实的你，一切都会没事的。你们都知道很多时候我们最可怕的敌人就是我们自己，我们跟内心的各种对世界未来的怀疑、忧虑和恐惧作斗争。有时，看着世界上正在发生的一切，我难以想象自己走出去并做些有意义的事。但事实是，我们能够这样做，而且我们必须这样做。美国需要大家抓紧这一时刻，勇于竞争并尽你们所能，让我们的国家变得尽可能美好。而我，作为美丽非凡的纽约州的议员，承诺我会尽我所能来帮助你们。今天，在领完你们的毕业证书离开校园之前，请你们感谢你们的家人，感谢他们的指导使你能到达今天这个激动人心的时刻。感谢你们的教授把一个全新的世界展现给你们。感谢你的朋友们，一起探索这个世界。最后，请记住今天这份美好的感觉。永远珍惜它，不断地追求。世界等待这你们，愿上帝助你们成功。感谢大家。篇二：外国语学院大学毕业典礼发言稿

外国语学院大学毕业典礼发言稿

尊敬的各位领导、老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好。

又是六月栀子花开的季节，又是怀揣着梦想分别的时刻。

很荣幸，能代表全体在校同学向即将离开母校，迈入高中生活的学长学姐们表示由衷的祝贺。

在这充满希望的六月，我们集会在这里，纵然有着欢聚一堂的喜悦，也有着难以释怀的回忆与留恋。

“宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来。”经历了四载春夏秋冬，几度风霜雨雪，你们终于走到了这个收获的季节。你们的刻苦努力，顽强拼搏，给我们留下了深刻的印象。

四年来，你们的朗朗书声在校园中回荡，诵读着青春的每一个篇章;四年来，你们收获着成功的喜悦，经历着遗憾的苦痛;四年来，你们用自己的行动，感染着外国语一届又一届的学生。

很多时候，我们曾因为严寒酷暑而心情浮躁，你们却依然埋头苦读，全然忘记了炙热的骄阳，凛烈的寒风。才明白，种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆。有耕耘，才会有收获。

“回首向来萧瑟处，归去，不再风雨不再忧。”今天的欢聚，意味着新篇章的序曲;明日的离别，意味着新起点的相遇。生命中的四年，如同短暂的一瞬间。然而，中学的四年，却铸就了坚实的基础。

作为还在学习道路上的我们，将会继续发扬学长学姐们努力学习，顽强拼搏的精神。

首先，爱上学习，让学习成为自己的兴趣。把学习转化为有趣的事情，进而减轻学习的负担。人们常说，兴趣是最好的老师。所以，我们在学习的过程中，不但收获了知识，而且会在学习中体味快乐。

其次，习惯学习，让学习成为生活的习惯。养成课前预习，课后复习的习惯。做到写作业前先做知识回顾，从而提高作业完成的效果。课堂上，养成专注听讲，认真做笔记的习惯，进而提高学习的效率。

第三，学会学习，让学习成为生活的技巧。学习是技巧性很强的事情，在学习的过程中，我们要善于总结解决问题的规律和方法，逐步找寻出一套适合自己的学习方式。

第四，坚持学习，让学习成为自己的责任。责任是一生中最重要的东西，我们要清楚地认识到，学习是我们的工作，是必须完成的事情，我们要一直坚持下去，让学习成为生命中的一部分。

老师曾告诉我们，兴趣可以转移，习惯可以改变，方法可以学习，而责任比兴趣更稳定、更持久。

相信，在不懈的努力下，我们的今后，也会像学长学姐们一样，散发出熠熠夺目的光芒。

最后，请允许我再次代表全体在校同学向你们表示衷心的祝愿。

在这个收获的季节，在这个充满希望的时刻，愿你们在新的学习旅途中，描绘出更加亮丽的风景线。

谢谢大家。

xx级全体学生。篇三：美国大学十佳毕业典礼演讲精选

每年的五六月，是美国大学举行毕业典礼的季节。按照惯例，各界名流都会受邀到各大名校去作激动人心的演讲。本文精选了近年来美国最有影响力的十佳毕业典礼演讲，与已经或即将毕业的读者朋友们共勉。1.steve jobs 史蒂芬·乔布斯 stanford university 斯坦福大学 june 12, 2005 2005年6月12日 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 dont waste it living someone elses life.dont be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other peoples thinking.dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.and most 记着你总会死去，这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂，还有什么理由不随你的心？！

你的时间是有限的，因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉，它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的，都是次要的。2.david foster wallace 大卫·福斯特·华莱士 novelist 小说家

kenyon college 肯尼恩学院 may 21, 2005 2005年5月21日 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.hows 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.有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头，并说：“早上好，孩子们。水怎么样？”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道：“水到底是什么东西？” „„简单的意识；对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识，需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己：

“这是水。”

“这是水。”

天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做到这点，是不可想象地难。3.michael uslan 迈克尔·奥斯兰

movie producer 电影制片人 indiana university 印第安纳大学 may 06, 2006 2006年5月6日 you must believe in yourself and in your work.when our first batman movie broke all those box-office records, i received a phone call from that united artists exec who, years before, had told me i was out of my mind.now he said, “michael, im just calling to congratulate you on the success of batman.i always said you were a visionary.” you see the point here — dont believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, dont believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are.just believe in yourself and youll do just fine.and, oh yes, dont 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.its the only way to achieve your goals in life.你必须相信你自己，对自己的工作充满信心。当我们的第一部电影《蝙蝠侠》创下史无前例的票房纪录时，我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话，他在数年之前曾说我疯了。如今他说：“迈克尔，我给你打电话祝贺《蝙蝠侠》的成功。我总说你是一位有远见的人。”你看，关键在这里，当他们说你有多差，你的想法有多糟的时候，不要信他们的话，同时，当他们告诉你你有多么了不起，你的想法多美妙时，也不要相信他们。你就只相信你自己，这样你就能做好。还有，那就是，不要忘记推销你自己和你的想法。左右大脑你都得用。

要能经受得住挫败。这是被好莱坞每一家制片厂拒绝过的人的经验。你必须去敲一扇扇的门，直到指关节流血。大门会在你面前砰然关上，你必须重振旗鼓，弹去身上的灰尘，再敲下一扇门。这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法。4.woody hayes 伍迪·海耶斯

college fooball coach 大学橄榄球教练 ohio state university 俄亥俄州立大学 may 14, 1986 1986年5月14日 in football we always said that the other team couldnt beat us.we had to be sure that we didnt beat ourselves.and that’s what people have to do, too — make sure they dont beat themselves.„„你会发现，来得容易的东西总是一文不值。事实上，我从来没有看到哪位橄榄球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。从来没有。5.bradley whitford 布兰德利·惠特福德 actor 演员

university wisconsinyour gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.再次说明的是,你在向前展望的时候不可能将这些片断串连起来；你只能在回顾的时候将点点滴滴串连起来。所以你必须相信这些片断会在你未来的某一天串连起来。你必须要相信某些东西：你的勇气、目的、生命、因缘??这个过程从来没有令我失望（let me down）,只是让我的生命更加地与众不同而已。my second story is about love and loss.我的第二个故事是关于爱和损失的。i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life.woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20.we worked hard, and 乔布斯在ipad发布会上 very publicly out.what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.我非常幸运, 因为我在很早的时候就找到了我钟爱的东西。woz和我在二十岁的时候就在父母的车库里面开创了苹果公司。我们工作得很努力, 十年之后, 这个公司从那两个车库中的穷光蛋发展到了超过四千名的雇员、价值超过二十亿的大公司。在公司成立的第九年,我们刚刚发布了最好的产品,那就是macintosh。我也快要到三十岁了。在那一年, 我被炒了鱿鱼。你怎么可能被你自己创立的公司炒了鱿鱼呢? 嗯,在苹果快速成长的时候，我们雇用了一个很有天分的家伙和我一起管理这个公司, 在最初的几年,公司运转的很好。但是后来我们对未来的看法发生了分歧, 最终我们吵了起来。当争吵不可开交的时候, 董事会站在了他的那一边。所以在三十岁的时候, 我被炒了。在这么多人的眼皮下我被炒了。在而立之年，我生命的全部支柱离自己远去, 这真是毁灭性的打击。i really didnt know what to do for a few months.i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down-that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley.but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did.the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit.i had been rejected, but i was still in love.and so i decided to start over.在最初的几个月里，我真是不知道该做些什么。我把从前的创业激情给丢了, 我觉得自己让与我一同创业的人都很沮丧。我与戴维·帕卡德（david pack）和鲍勃·诺伊斯（bob boyce）见面（注：戴维·帕卡德，普惠的创办人之一，鲍勃·诺伊斯，英特尔创办人之一），并试图向他们道歉。我把事情弄得糟糕透顶了。但是我渐渐发现了曙光, 我仍然喜爱我从事的这些东西。苹果公司发生的这些事情丝毫的没有改变这些, 一点也没有。我被驱逐了,但是我仍然钟爱它。所以我决定从头再来。i didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.我当时没有觉察, 但是事后证明, 从苹果公司被炒是我这辈子发生的最棒的事情。因为，作为一个成功者的极乐感觉被作为一个创业者的轻松感觉所重新代替: 对任何事情都不那么特别看重。这让我觉得如此自由, 进入了我生命中最有创造力的一个阶段。

第五篇：著名演讲

马丁路德金----我有一个梦想（演讲稿原文）

I Have a Dream（Martin Luther King)我有一个梦想（马丁 路德 金）

......I say to you, my friends, so even though we must face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.……今天，我对你们说，我的朋友们，尽管此时的困难与挫折，我们仍然有个梦，这是深深扎根于美国梦中的梦。

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creedblack men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Catholics and Protestants-will be able to join hands and to sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last, free at last;thank God Almighty, we are free at last.” 当我们让自由之声响彻之时，当我们让它从每一座村庄，从每一个州和每一座城市响起时，我们将能加速这一天的到来，那时，所有上帝的孩子们，黑人和白人，犹太人和异教徒们，基督徒和天主教徒们，将能手挽手，以那古老的黑人圣歌的歌词高唱； “终于自由了！终于自由了！感谢全能的上帝，我们终于自由了！”

======================= I Have a Dream I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.So we have come here today to dramatize the shameful condition.In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check.When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir.This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.”

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.We refuse to believe that there are “insufficient funds” in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.So we’ve come to cash this check-a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.It is a dream deeply rooted in the American Dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners, will they be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream, that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character, I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low;the rough places will be made plain;and the crooked places will be made straight;and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.This is our hope.So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.But not only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside.Let freedom ring and when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last.” ================================
