21世纪杯即兴演讲集

Topic 1 ：Does money equal success?

Ok , ladies and gentlemen , here I’ve got a question for you.What is success?Well, I don’t know.But obviously, the professor hold a simple outlook—money equals success.Here I don’t want to argue whether it is right or wrong.Because we will never come to an agreement on this question.But one thing for sure is that except for money, our self-content and our feelings of realizing our life value will bring us tremendous happiness.Visiting our parents often , sparing some time to date our boyfriend or girlfriend while we are drowned by endless work, having an excursion to explore the world again, Of cause, having an affair is not included.These tiny changes really make us happy, like walking on the cloud, ha? So, why don’t we change the perspective to measure success just in terms of money? No more money-oriented, but stress equal importance of money and living our life happily.Some of you may be thinking that: little pumpkin, you just talk big , you never know what the world really look like.The road we have trudged is much more than the salt you have eaten.Chinglish expression, you know what I mean, right? But I do learn this from my personal experience.My grandmother used to be a cook in a small local restaurant.During that time, she was very busy, but her salaries really disappointed me.―granny , why don’t you just quit this job, what you have gained from this job is really disproportional with what you have done‖ I asked her.―Well, I don’t think so.You know, when I was cooking for you, I was extremely happy.Thinking that you gradually grow up, being a young lady as you always wanted to be.I cannot help you that much through that way, look at me, I am only a cook.But I can promise you that every dishes you enjoyed is full of tender love.The same goes to others, I hope that everyone who eat here could leave with joy‖, my granny’s answer exactly suggest that the highest reward from work is not only about the money, but also the process of making others happy.Absolutely as a cook and granny, she was a huge success, although she earn less.Now my granny has gone, but her spirits live on.In the pursuit of happiness, I never walk alone!

Now, what about those millionaires? They are rich, they have many choices, they have high expectations in life.Three strikes against them, fact is that it’s very difficult to elevate their happiness index.Let me give you an example.Suppose that you were a millionaire, now you want to buy a piece of evening dress to attend a celebrity party.Your favorite is Chanel, which will undoubtedly make you in the spotlight.But your advisor suggest you to choose Lanvin because it will be unique since everyone’s prior choice is Chanel.Meanwhile your friends prefer that you wear Armani to become the queen of that party.Which one is the best? It should be quite simple that you attend that party, meet your friends and have fun.Now it’s much more complicated.You suffer choice anxiety which deprive your happiness index over and over again.You are rich, you can buy anything you want, you have millions options, but the

thing is that you just can’t make your final decision.Because the purpose of attending the party has changed.You lost in the vanity fair, you want to shine, you desire never dies , you become a person who is hard to satisfy.Eventually, your bank account continue to boom, however your soul bank is likely to go bankrupt.Not a single thing can make you happy or satisfied in life.Can we call these guys successful people? Can we say money equal success?

Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? My point of view is that whether we are rich or not, William Faulkner told us : life goes on.A millionaire may buy a Ferrari when he was in deep blue.Then what about a proletarian like me? We just get hangover.But the two have the same effect.Yes, life goes on!Most importantly, be yourself, then you will be invincible.It’s not about success.It’s not about money.It’s all about you and me.Thank you very much.Topic 2: Need for speed drives change

First, I’d like to talk about Andy Groove’s book Only the Paranoid Survive.I was deeply impressed by his thought of 10X change.For Intel, the world’s largest semiconductor chip maker, the speeding up of innovation really matters a lot.Andy Groove focused on the importance of leader’s forward-looking strategy and strong instincts of speeding up information revolution.And that’s exactly what the tech nerds do in the biggest dreamworks –Silicon Valley.It seems that if we don’t drive as fast as we can today, we die tomorrow.So I’ve just heard that some of these nerds who radically change the world don’t date anybody, they don’t have a regular sexual behavior.Why? I guess they are just on the go with full speed to reshape the whole society, no time for those stupid thing.Or as Dr.Sheldon Copper said: It’s just impulse.Recently, blind date TV shows spread fast and wide.It really provide some left ladies and gentlemen a precious opportunity to search for their soul mate.What I talked above are not isolated cases, it’s not all about those CEOs CFOs.We college students also follow suit.Take me as an example, I always get suffocated in endless assignments and social activities.I eat quickly, I walk fast, my friends even told me I can defecate in less than one minute.I could read 20 books in 30 days last semester.But after that, I didn’t get it.I’ve no idea what the author are trying to tell us.The only achievement for me is that I’ve added another book in my shit list.Why is that? Obviously, I drive too fast to taste the beauties in book and in life.I realized how long I’ve lost in the ocean of vanity.I tried to be a fast in everything, I force myself to keep busy, still, I feel lonely, empty in my deep soul.

第二篇：希拉里演讲集

Thank you.Thank you so much.Thank you.And does it get any better than this, a graduation ceremony for one of the great universities in the world in the home of New York Yankees? Nothing could be better.And thanks to all of you for cheering a visitor.I didn’t realize that was permitted in Yankee Stadium.谢谢，谢谢，非常感谢。还有比这更好的事吗——世界上最好的大学之一在纽约扬基队主场所在地举行毕业典礼？真是再好不过了。谢谢大家如此热烈地为一位来访的客人加油。我原以为在扬基体育场不可以这样做。

I am honored to receive this degree.And on behalf of the other honorees, I say thank you.Thank you for giving us this singular privilege of being part of this commencement ceremony.As I look out at this huge crowd of graduates, family, and friends, I can only reflect on what an extraordinary moment in history you are receiving your degrees, a moment in time of our country and the world where your talents and your energy, your passion and commitment is more needed than ever.There is no doubt that you are well prepared for a world that seems somewhat uncertain but which will welcome the education that you have received on behalf of not only of yourselves and your families, but your communities and your country.能够获得这个学位，我感到十分荣幸。我代表获得此一荣誉的其他人向你们表示感谢。谢谢你们给予我们参加这次毕业典礼的殊荣。当我看到眼前这一大群毕业生及其亲朋好友时，我不禁想到，你们是在一个不同寻常的历史时刻获得学位，我们的国家和整个世界比以往更需要你们的才智和精力、你们的激情和承诺。毫无疑问，你们已经为投入这样的世界作好了充分的准备：这个世界似乎前景不很明朗，但将赞赏你们不仅为了你们自己和家人而且为了你们的社区和国家所接受的教育。

As Secretary of State, I am well aware of the challenges that we face.You, as new graduates, and your generation will be up against those challenges: climate change and hunger, extreme poverty and extreme ideologies, new diseases and nuclear proliferation.But I am absolutely convinced that you and we are up to the task.There is no problem we face here in America or around the world that will not yield to human effort, to cooperation, to positive interdependence that makes clear humanity is going on, our challenges are ones that summon the best of us, and we will make the world better tomorrow than it is today.更多信息请访问：http://www.xiexiebang.com/ 作为国务卿，我十分清楚我们面临的各项挑战。作为新的毕业生，你们和你们这一代人将面对这样的挑战：气候变化和饥饿、赤贫和极端主义的意识形态、新的疾病和核扩散。但我深信，你们和我们能够胜任这样的任务。我们在美国和整个世界所面临的各种问题，都能够通过人们的努力、合作和积极的相互依赖得到解决，而这种相互依赖表明，人类社会正在继续前进。挑战将激发我们最好的一面，我们将把明天的世界变得比今天更加美好。

Now, I know that it is fashionable in commencement speeches to be idealistic, and that may sound so, but at the root of my conviction is a strong sense of reality.Because you see, I don’t think we have a choice.We can sit on the sidelines, we can wring our hands, we can retreat into cynicism, and we know what the results will be: We will cede the field to those whose ideologies are absolutely anathema to people of conscience and faith all over the world.So our positive interdependence, which is a fact, will prepare us to meet these challenges.But they can no longer be seen just as government-to-government.There is a time and an opportunity, and with the new technologies available, for us to be citizen diplomats, citizen activists, to solve problems one by one that will give in to hard work, patience, and persistence, and will then aggregate to the solutions we seek.我知道，在毕业典礼上作理想化的演说是当前的时尚，[我的讲话]听起来也许很理想化，但我的信念深处有一种强烈的现实感。因为你们知道，我认为我们别无选择。我们可以袖手旁观，我们可以束手无策，我们可以采取悲观怀疑的态度，但我们知道这样做会产生什么样的结果：我们会把阵地拱手让给那些其意识形态为世界上所有有良知和信仰者所不齿的人。因此，我们之间积极的相互依赖 ——这是一个事实——将使我们为应对这些挑战做好准备。但这不能再被仅仅视作政府与政府之间的事情。随着新技术的不断涌现，我们有时间和机会成为公民外交家、公民活动家，通过辛勤工作、耐心和毅力一个一个地解决问题，逐步积累成我们所寻求的解决方案。

Food Caching 食物储存

Humans may be one of the smartest animals on the planet, butwhen it comes to remembering where things are, Clark’snutcrackers have us beat.A relative of jays松鸟 and crows乌鸦, nutcrackers hide pine seeds inthe ground each autumn so they have a source of food during the Colorado Rocky Mountainwinter.They cache as many as 30,000 seeds in 5,000 different locations over a fifteen square milearea.Since they cannot smell the seeds buried in the soil very well, they must use their remarkablespatial memory to find them.Nutcrackers are not the only animals that cache 躲藏food.Caching behavior is seen in birds,mammals and even insects.Chickadees store collections of seeds, insects and spiders in the barkof trees or under leaves.Red squirrels cut conifer cones from trees and bury them in plant litteron the forest floor.Harvester ants bring seeds back to their nests and store them in chambers,while honey bees save nectar花蜜 and pollen花粉 in their hive.蜂房

Because nutcrackers are one of the best at remembering cache locations, researchers arestudying them to find out why they have such great memories.Scientists know that thenutcracker’s abilities evolved because of environmental pressure.Nutcrackers with poor memoriesdid not likely survive the harsh mountain winters.Now researchers want to find out how the brainsof nutcrackers are different from other brains.They are particularly interested in the hippocampus,a small area of the brain that helps form memories.Finding out how the nutcracker’s brain isdifferent from other species may give us clues to why humans have memory problems.It mayeven lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.人类也许是世界上最聪明的动物之一，但说到记忆，克拉克（新泽西州）的星鸟比我们人类强多了。

星鸟属于松鸟和乌鸦的近亲，它在秋天的时候把松子藏在地底下，这样寒冷冬天的就有食物吃了。它们会储存多达30000颗种子，而且是在十五平方公里内的5000个不同位置。因为不能通过气味辨别埋在土里种子的位置，它们就必须依靠惊人的空间记忆力来找到这些种子。

不止星鸟会储存食物。哺乳动物、鸟类，甚至昆虫都会贮藏东西。山雀贮存种子，还有树皮和树叶下面的昆虫，蜘蛛。红松鼠会将针叶树上的果实割下来，然后埋在森林地面的落叶中。红蚁会将种子拖到巢穴内并贮存在室内。蜜蜂也是把花蜜和花粉贮存在蜂房里的。

因为星鸟是最擅长记住储存位置的动物之一，研究人员正仔细观察它们，想找出星鸟拥有超强记忆力的原因。科学家明白星鸟的技能是由于环境形成的。记忆力差的星鸟在这么严酷的冬天也许不能生存。现在，研究人员想找出星鸟的大脑有什么不同之处。他们对（脑内的）海马状突起很有兴趣，那是大脑里帮助记忆的很小一个区域。找出星鸟与其他物种大脑结构的区别也许会给出线索，了解为什么人类记忆会出现各种问题。甚至能帮助治疗老年痴呆症。
