毕业生毕业典礼英文演讲稿

1、毕业生毕业典礼英文演讲稿 Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a ood look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 yea

2、rs from now, even 30 years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser. And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser Cum Laude. In fact, as I look out before me today, I dont see a thousand hopes

3、 for a bright tomorrow. I dont see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. Youre upset. Thats understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence Larry Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nations most

4、prestigious institutions? Ill _ you why. Because I, Lawrence Larry Ellison, second richest man on the pla, am a college dropout, and you are not. Because Bill Gates, richest man on the pla - for now, anyway - is a college dropout, and you are not. Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the pla

5、, dropped out of college, and you did not. And for good measure, because Michael Dell, No. 9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not. Hmm . . . youre very upset. Thats understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely,

6、that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what youve learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. Youve established good work habits. Youve established a work of people that will help you down the road. A

7、nd youve established what will be lifelong relationships with the word therapy. All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that work. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy. You will need them because you didnt drop out, and so you will never be among the richest pe

8、ople in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I dont have to _ you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer. Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now mo

9、st of you, are wondering, Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all? Actually, no. Its too late. Youve absorbed too much, think you know too much. Youre not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and Im not referring to the mortar boards on your heads. Hmm. youre really very upset. T

10、hats understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of 00. You are a write-off, so Ill let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your checks will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago. Instead, I want

11、 to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I cant stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and dont e back. Drop out. Start up. For I can _ you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keepin

12、g me down . . . (At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.) you all are leaving your alma mater now. i have no gift to present you all except a piece of advice. what i would like to advise is that dont give up your study. most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate.

13、you had no choice but to take them. from now on, you may study on your own. i would advise you to work hard at some special field when you are still young and vigorous. your youth will be gone that will never e back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will no

14、t be able to as you wish to. even though you have to study in order to make a living, studies will never live up to you. making a living without studying, you will be shifted out in three or five years. at this time when you hope to make it up, you will say it is too late. perhaps you will say, afte

15、r graduation and going into the society, we will meet with an urgent problem, that is, to make a living. for this we have no time to study. even though we hope to study, we have no library nor labs, how can we study further? i would like to say that all those who wait to have a library will not stud

16、y further even though they have one and all these who wait to have a lab will not do experiments even though they have one. when you have a firm resolution and determination to solve a problem, you will naturally economize on food and clothing. as for time, i should say its not a problem. you may kn

17、ow that every day he could do only an hour work, not much more than that because darwin was ill for all his life. you must have read his achievements. every day you spend an hour in reading 10 useful pages, then you will read more than 3650 pages every year. in 30 years you will have read 110,000 pa

18、ges. my fellow students, reading 110,000 pages will make you a scholar. but it will take you an hour to read three kinds of small-sized newspapers and it will take you an hour and a half to play four rounds of mahjian pieces. reading small-sized newspapers or playing mahjian pieces, or working hard to be a scholar? its
