2、到絕不罷休。生命太短暫，所以不能空手走過，你必須對某樣 東西傾注你的深情。2009 Commencement Address at Harvard University U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven ChuMadam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, todays graduates,Thank you for letting me sha

3、re this wonderful day with you.I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer n

4、erd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not wealthy, but at least I am a nerd.My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued,

5、 seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, “The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends wh

6、o supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success

7、. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, theres an alumni association to remind you.Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, dont bar

8、gain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that “credit” is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your li

9、ves, follow your passion. If you dont have a passion, dont be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something.Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and g

10、ray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride wont be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.Finally, as humanists, I ask that you speak to

11、our common humanity. One of the cruelest ironies about climate change is that the ones who will be hurt the most are the most innocent: the worlds poorest and those yet to be born.The coda to this last movement is borrowed from two humanists.The first quote is from Martin Luther King. He spoke on en

12、ding the war in Vietnam in 1967, but his message seems so fitting for todays climate crisis.“This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond ones tribe, race, class, and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind. This oft misund

13、erstood, this oft misinterpreted concept, so readily dismissed by the Nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of no

14、w. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late.”The final message is from William Faulkner. On December 10th, 1950, his Nobel Prize banquet speech was about the role of humanists in a world facing potential nuclear holocaust.“I believe that man will not m

15、erely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poets, the writers, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure b

As you pursue your private passions, I hope you will also develop a passion

17、and a voice to help the world in ways both large and small. Nothing will give you greater satisfaction.Please accept my warmest congratulations. May you prosper, may you help preserve and save our planet for your children, and all future children of the world.尊敬的Faust校長、哈佛集團的各位成員、監(jiān)管理事會的各位理事長、各位老師、各位

18、家長、各位朋友，以及最重要的各位畢業(yè)生同學，感謝你們，讓我有機會同你們一起分享這個美妙的日子。我不太肯定，自己夠得上的哈佛大學畢業(yè)典禮演講人的殊榮。去年登上這個講臺的是英國小說家J.K.羅琳，她最早是個古典文學的學生。前年站在這里的事比爾·蓋茨先生，他是一個超級富翁、一個慈善家和電腦天才。今年很遺憾，你們的演講人是我，我不是很有錢，但至少我是一個書呆子。畢業(yè)典禮演講都遵循古典奏鳴曲的結(jié)構(gòu)，我的演講也不例外。剛才是第一樂章輕快的閑談。接下來的第二樂章是送上門的忠告。這樣的忠告很少有價值，幾乎注定被忘記，永遠不會被實踐。但是，就像王爾德說的：“對于忠告，你聽能做的，就是把它送給別人，因為

19、它對你沒有任何用處。”所以，下面是我的忠告。第一，取得成就時，不要忘記前人。要感謝你的父母和朋友，要感謝那些啟發(fā)過你的教授，尤其是上不好課的教授，因為他們迫使你自學。自學能力是優(yōu)秀的文科教育中必不可少的，將成為你成功的關(guān)鍵。你還要去擁抱你的同學，感謝他們同你進行過的徹夜長談，這為你的教育帶來了無法衡量的價值。你還要感謝哈佛大學。不過即使你忘了，校友會也會來提醒你。第二，在你們未來的人生中，做一個慷慨大方的人。在任何談判中，都把最后一點點利益留給對方，不要把桌上的錢都拿走。在合作中，成功合作的任何一方，都應獲得全部榮譽的90%。第三個忠告是，當你開始生活的新階段中，請跟隨你的愛好。如果沒有愛好就去找，找不到就不罷休。生命太短暫，所以不能空手走過，你必須對某樣東西傾注你的深情。我還有最后一個忠告，興趣愛好固然重要，但你不應該只考慮它。當你白發(fā)蒼蒼、垂垂老矣、回首人生時，你需要為做過的事感到自豪。物質(zhì)生活和你實現(xiàn)的占有欲，都不會產(chǎn)生自豪。只有那些受你影響、被你改變過的人和事，才會讓你產(chǎn)生自豪。最后，你們是人道主義者，我要求你們?yōu)?/p>
