文檔簡介

1、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 years from now,

2、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 don't see a thousand hopes f

3、or a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. "You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I, Lawrence 'Larry' Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating clas

4、s of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions? I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am a college dropout, and you are not. "Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet - for now, anyway - is a college dropout, and

5、 you are not. "Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, 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 . . . you're very upset. That

6、's understandable. So let me stroke your egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, 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 you've learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You&

7、#39;ve established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word 'therapy.' All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong

8、work habits. You will need that therapy. "You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to No. 10 or No. 11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really

9、 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 most of you, are wondering, 'Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all?' Actually, no. It's too late. You've a

10、bsorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 19 anymore. You have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortar boards on your heads. "Hmm. you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this would be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for

11、 you, Class of '2000. You are a write-off, so I'll 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 to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't s

12、tress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up. "For I can tell you that a cap and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down . . ." (At this point The Oracle CEO was

13、ushered off stage.) 史上最狂妄演講:讓學歷見鬼去吧 演講人 Larry. Ellison是Oracle的CEO。 Larry. Ellison在耶魯大學2000屆畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表了以下世人看來最為狂妄、不受歡迎但又是現(xiàn)實真實狀況的演講。 - 演講內(nèi)容: 耶魯?shù)漠厴I(yè)生們,我很抱歉如果你們不喜歡這樣的開場。我想請你們?yōu)槲易鲆患?。請?好好看一看周圍,看一看站在你左邊的同學,看一看站在你右邊的同學。 請你設想這樣的情況:從現(xiàn)在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左邊的這個人會是一個失敗者;右邊的這個人,同樣,也是個失敗者。而你,站在中間的家伙,你以為會怎樣?一樣是失敗

14、者。失敗的經(jīng)歷。失敗的優(yōu)等生。 說實話,今天我站在這里,并沒有看到一千個畢業(yè)生的燦爛未來。我沒有看到一千個行業(yè)的一千名卓越領導者,我只看到了一千個失敗者。你們感到沮喪,這是可以理解的。為什么,我,埃里森,一個退學生,竟然在美國最具聲望的學府里這樣厚顏地散布異端?我來告訴你原因。因為,我,埃里森,這個行星上第二富有的人,是個退學生,而你不是。因為比爾·蓋茨,這個行星上最富有的人就目前而言-是個退學生,而你不是。因為艾倫,這個行星上第三富有的人,也退了學,而你沒有。再來一點證據(jù)吧,因為戴爾,這個行星上第九富有的人他的排位還在不斷上升,也是個退學生。而你,不是。 .你們非常沮喪,這是可以理解的。 你們將來需要這些有用的工作習慣。你將來需要這種'治療'。你需要它們,因為你沒輟學,所以你永遠不會成為世界上最富有的人。哦,當然,你可以,也許,以你的方式進步到第10位,第11位,就像Steve。但,我沒有告訴你他在為誰工作,是吧? 根據(jù)記載,他是研究生時輟的學,開化得稍晚了些。 現(xiàn)在,我猜想你們中間很多人,也許是絕大多數(shù)人,正在琢磨,'我能做什么?我究竟有沒有前途?'當然沒有。太晚了,你們已經(jīng)吸收了太多東西,以為自 己懂得太多。你們再也不是19歲了。你們有了'內(nèi)置'的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你們腦袋上的學位帽。 嗯.你們已經(jīng)非常沮喪
