篇1：中学生毕业典礼演讲稿
老师们、同学们：
大家好！
时光匆匆而逝，毕业已在眼前。对高三的我来说，不知中喜中忧，是苦是甜。回想这三年经历，仿佛昨日刚刚相会，今朝又说再见。九百八十多个日日夜夜，不知有多少事齐涌向心间，有多少事令人牵挂。
是啊，谁又能忘得掉呢？初走进教室的那一刻，是好奇，是羞涩，是憧体育事业憬，是迷茫？刚上课铃的那一声，是疑惑，是恍然，是焦急，是渴望？在课堂切磋研讨之时，是紧张、是从容，是缜密，是粗犷？在课下交流谈心之际，是高谈阔论天南海北，或是会心一笑心曲流淌？还的辩论会上的慷慨激昂，运动会上的血脉偾张联欢晚会的彩带纷飞，绿色军营的歌声嘹亮 ……
“春风化雨”，老师们用自己的汗水浇灌着这一畦园地，却不知鬓上又添了斑斑银发。讲坛上挥动的手臂，让艰涩的知识飘飘洒洒；书桌前微躬的身躯，让稚气的文句妙笔生花。还有那语重心长的谆谆教诲，还有那循循不倦的愤悱启发。病中送药，课下谈心，老师是慈母；一丝不苟孜孜以求，老师又是严父。
可谁不知道，老师强忍着病痛讲课，却因体力不支而倒下，即便在医院的病床上，老师也还念念不忘，有多少习题还没讲，有多少课程要落下？只是我们都是不懂事的孩子，我们知道了感怀，但却不懂得表达，甚至有时还惹得老师生气，尽管我们自己也心乱如麻。
如今却是离别。离开我们熟悉的学校，离开我们敬爱的老师，离开我们相逢相识的友伴。从今一别，重逢不知又中何年。或许只有好友的温情话语，才止得住潸然的泪眼；或许只有相机的咔嚓一响，才留得住青春的欢颜。
高中三年，我们走出了青涩的豆蔻年花，走过了纷扬的花季雨季，走向了十八岁的坚毅、刚强。这一路上我们的挫折，也有迷茫，但我们有坚强，还有希望。长大，不只是体现在身体上，还要的健全的心智，还要有崇高的理想。成人，不只是十八岁生日的那一天，那其中不乔浸渍着多少日的汗水，满盛着多少天的渴望。毕业，不只是低声的啜泣，无言的感伤，不只是别离的萧索，聚散的无常，它更是火热的青春新一幕的开场。
如今，我们正梳理着羽翼，等待飞翔。去飞向远方的绚烂云霞，去赢取人生路上的诗画章章。
谢谢！

篇2：毕业典礼英语演讲稿
毕业典礼英文致词
i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.
today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.
the first story is about connecting the dots.
i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?
it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: “we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” they said: “of course.” my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.
and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.
none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
my second story is about love and loss.
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 in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?
well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
i really didn't 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.
i didn't 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.
during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.
pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.
i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.
sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.
you've got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. don't settle. as with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. and, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. so keep looking until you find it. don't settle.
my third story is about death.
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.
毕业典礼英文发言稿范文
president clinton:
thank you. thank you, president chen, chairmen ren, vice president chi, vice minister wei. we are delighted to be here today with a very large american delegation, including the first lady and our daughter, who is a student at stanford, one of the schools with which beijing university has a relationship. we have six members of the united states congress; the secretary of state; secretary of commerce; the secretary of agriculture; the chairman of our council of economic advisors; senator sasser, our ambassador; the national security advisor and my chief of staff, among others. i say that to illustrate the importance that the united states places on our relationship with china.
i would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university. gongxi, beida. (applause.)
as i'm sure all of you know, this campus was once home to yenching university which was founded by american missionaries. many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an american architect. thousands of americans students and professors have come here to study and teach. we feel a special kinship with you.
i am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago. in june of 1919, the first president of yenching university, john leighton stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds. at the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared. they were all out leading the may 4th movement for china's political and cultural renewal. when i read this, i hoped that when i walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here. and i thank you for being here, very much. (applause.)
over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students. your graduates are spread throughout china and around the world. you have built the largest university library in all of asia. last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors. and in this anniversary year, more than a million people in china, asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site. at the dawn of a new century, this university is leading china into the future.
i come here today to talk to you, the next generation of china's leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between china and the united states.
the american people deeply admire china for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and the arts, to science and technology. we remember well our strong partnership in world war ii. now we see china at a moment in history when your glorious past is matched by your present sweeping transformation and the even greater promise of your future.
just three decades ago, china was virtually shut off from the world. now, china is a member of more than 1,000 international organizations -- enterprises that affect everything from air travel to agricultural development. you have opened your nation to trade and investment on a large scale. today, 40,000 young chinese study in the united states, with hundreds of thousands more learning in asia, africa, europe, and latin america.
your social and economic transformation has been even more remarkable, moving from a closed command economic system to a driving, increasingly market-based and driven economy, generating two decades of unprecedented growth, giving people greater freedom to travel within and outside china, to vote in village elections, to own a home, choose a job, attend a better school. as a result you have lifted literally hundreds of millions of people from poverty. per capita income has more than doubled in the last decade. most chinese people are leading lives they could not have imagined just 20 years ago.
of course, these changes have also brought disruptions in settled patterns of life and work, and have imposed enormous strains on your environment. once every urban chinese was guaranteed employment in a state enterprise. now you must compete in a job market. once a chinese worker had only to meet the demands of a central planner in beijing. now the global economy means all must match the quality and creativity of the rest of the world. for those who lack the right training and skills and support, this new world can be daunting.

Thank you Bevan, thank you all!
I brought one of my paintings to show you today. Hope you guys are gonna be able see it okay.It’s not one of my bigger pieces. You might wanna move down front ― to get a good look at it. (kidding)
Faculty, Parents, Friends, Dignitaries... Graduating Class of 20xx, and all the dead baseballplayers coming out of the corn to be with us today. (laughter) After the harvest there’s noplace to hide ― the fields are empty ― there is no cover there! (laughter)
I am here to plant a seed that will inspire you to move forward in life with enthusiastic heartsand a clear sense of wholeness. The question is, will that seed have a chance to take root, or willI be sued by Monsanto and forced to use their seed, which may not be totally “Ayurvedic.” (laughter)
Excuse me if I seem a little low energy tonight ― today ― whatever this is. I slept with myhead to the North last night. (laughter) Oh man! Oh man! You know how that is, right kids?Woke up right in the middle of Pitta and couldn’t get back to sleep till Vata rolled around, but Ididn’t freak out. I used that time to eat a large meal and connect with someone special onTinder. (laughter)
Life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you. How do I know this? I don’t, but I’m makingsound, and that’s the important thing. That’s what I’m here to do. Sometimes, I think that’sone of the only things that are important. Just letting each other know we’re here, remindingeach other that we are part of a larger self. I used to think Jim Carrey is all that I was...
Just a flickering light
A dancing shadow
The great nothing masquerading as something you can name
Dwelling in forts and castles made of witches C wishes! Sorry, a Freudian slip there
Seeking shelter in caves and foxholes, dug out hastily
An archer searching for his target in the mirror
Wounded only by my own arrows
Begging to be enslaved
Pleading for my chains
Blinded by longing and tripping over paradise C can I get an “Amen”?! (applause)
You didn’t think I could be serious did ya’? I don't think you understand who you're dealingwith! I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I’m the container. You can’t containthe container, man! You can’t contain the container! (laughter)
I used to believe that who I was ended at the edge of my skin, that I had been given this littlevehicle called a body from which to experience creation, and though I couldn’t have asked for asportier model, (laughter) it was after all a loaner and would have to be returned. Then, Ilearned that everything outside the vehicle was a part of me, too, and now I drive aconvertible. Top down wind in my hair! (laughter)
I am elated and truly, truly, truly excited to be present and fully connected to you at thisimportant moment in your journey. I hope you’re ready to open the roof and take it all in?! (audience doesn’t react) Okay, four more years then! (laughter)
I want to thank the Trustees, Administrators and Faculty of MUM for creating an institutionworthy of Maharishi’s ideals of education. A place that teaches the knowledge and experiencenecessary to be productive in life, as well as enabling the students, through TranscendentalMeditation and ancient Vedic knowledge to slack off twice a day for an hour and a half!! (laughter) ― don’t think you’re fooling me!!! ― (applause) but, I guess it has some benefits.It does allow you to separate who you truly are and what’s real, from the stories that runthrough your head.
You have given them the ability to walk behind the mind’s elaborate set decoration, and tosee that there is a huge difference between a dog that is going to eat you in your mind and anactual dog that’s going to eat you. (laughter) That may sound like no big deal, but many neverlearn that distinction and spend a great deal of their lives living in fight or flight response.
I’d like to acknowledge all you wonderful parents ― way to go for the fantastic job you’vedone ― for your tireless dedication, your love, your support, and most of all, for the attentionyou’ve paid to your children. I have a saying, “Beware the unloved,” because they willeventually hurt themselves... or me! (laughter)
But when I look at this group here today, I feel really safe! I do! I’m just going to say it ― myroom is not locked! My room is not locked! (laughter) No doubt some of you will turn out to becrooks! But white-collar stuff ― Wall St. ya’ know, that type of thing ― crimes committed bypeople with self-esteem! Stuff a parent can still be proud of in a weird way. (laughter)
And to the graduating class of 20xx ― minus 3! You didn't let me finish! (laughter) ―Congratulations! (applause) Yes, give yourselves a round of applause, please. You are thevanguard of knowledge and consciousness; a new wave in a vast ocean of possibilities. On theother side of that door, there is a world starving for new leadership, new ideas.
I’ve been out there for 30 years! She’s a wild cat! (laughter) Oh, she’ll rub up against your legand purr until you pick her up and start pettin’ her, and out of nowhere she’ll swat you in theface. Sure it’s rough sometimes but that’s OK, ‘cause they’ve got soft serve ice cream withsprinkles! (laughter) I guess that’s what I’m really here to say; sometimes it’s okay to eat yourfeelings! (laughter)
Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend yourwhole life imagining ghosts, worrying about your pathway to the future, but all there will everbe is what’s happening here, and the decisions we make in this moment, which are based ineither love or fear.
So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality. What we really want seemsimpossibly out of reach and ridiculous to expect, so we never dare to ask the universe for it.I’m saying, I’m the proof that you can ask the universe for it ― please! (applause) And if itdoesn't happen for you right away, it’s only because the universe is so busy fulfilling my order.It’s party size! (laughter)
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn’t believe that was possible for him,and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant, and whenI was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job and our family had to do whatever we couldto survive.
I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail atwhat you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love. (applause)
That’s not the only thing he taught me though: I watched the affect my father’s love andhumor had on the world around me, and I thought, “That’s something to do, that’s somethingworth my time.”
It wasn’t long before I started acting up. People would come over to my house and they wouldbe greeted by a 7 year old throwing himself down a large flight of stairs. (laughter) They wouldsay, “What happened?” And I would say, “I don't know ― let’s check the replay.” And I wouldgo back to the top of the stairs and come back down in slow motion. (Jim reenacts coming downthe stairs in slow-mo) It was a very strange household. (laughter)
My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham ― I was the whole pig. And he treated my talent asif it was his second chance. When I was about 28, after a decade as a professional comedian,I realized one night in LA that the purpose of my life had always been to free people fromconcern, like my dad. When I realized this, I dubbed my new devotion, “The Church ofFreedom From Concern” ― “The Church of FFC”― and I dedicated myself to that ministry.
What’s yours? How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide?That’s all you have to figure out. As someone who has done what you are about to go do, I cantell you from experience, the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency there is. (applause)
Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was inyour heart. My choosing to free people from concern got me to the top of a mountain. Lookwhere I am ― look what I get to do! Everywhere I go C and I’m going to get emotionalbecause when I tap into this, it really is extraordinary to me ― I did something that makespeople present their best selves to me wherever I go. (applause) I am at the top of themountain and the only one I hadn’t freed was myself and that’s when my search for identitydeepened.
I wondered who I’d be without my fame. Who would I be if I said things that people didn’t wantto hear, or if I defied their expectations of me? What if I showed up to the party without myMardi Gras mask and I refused to flash my breasts for a handful of beads? (laughter) I’ll giveyou a moment to wipe that image out of your mind. (laughter)
But you guys are way ahead of the game. You already know who you are and that peace, thatpeace that we’re after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others,beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself. You can join the game, fight thewars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall. Yourneed for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the wayof the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory. (A sheet dropsand reveals Jim’s painting. Applause.)
(Re: the painting) It’s not big enough! (kidding) This painting is big for a reason. This paintingis called “High Visibility.” (laughter) It’s about picking up the light and daring to be seen. Here’sthe tricky part. Everyone is attracted to the light. The party host up in the corner (refers topainting) who thinks unconsciousness is bliss and is always offering a drink from the bottlesthat empty you; Misery, below her, who despises the light ― can’t stand when you’re doing well― and wishes you nothing but the worst; The Queen of Diamonds who needs a King to build herhouse of cards; And the Hollow One, who clings to your leg and begs, “Please don’t leave mebehind for I have abandoned myself.”
Even those who are closest to you and most in love with you; the people you love most in theworld can find clarity confronting at times. This painting took me thousands of hours tocomplete and ― (applause) thank you ― yes, thousands of hours that I’ll never get back, I’llnever get them back (kidding) ― I worked on this for so long, for weeks and weeks, like a madman alone on a scaffolding ― and when I was finished one of my friends said, “This would be acool black light painting.” (laughter)
So I started over. (All the lights go off in the Dome and the painting is showered with blacklight.) Whooooo! Welcome to Burning Man! (applause) Some pretty crazy characters right?Better up there than in here. (points to head) Painting is one of the ways I free myself fromconcern, a way to stop the world through total mental, spiritual and physical involvement.
But even with that, comes a feeling of divine dissatisfaction. Because ultimately, we’re notthe avatars we create. We’re not the pictures on the film stock. We are the light that shinesthrough it. All else is just smoke and mirrors. Distracting, but not truly compelling.
I’ve often said that I wished people could realize all their dreams of wealth and fame so theycould see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion. Like many of you, I wasconcerned about going out in the world and doing something bigger than myself, untilsomeone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself! (laughter)
My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within thelimitlessness of my soul ― one unified field of nothing dancing for no particular reason,except maybe to comfort and entertain itself. (applause) As that shift happens in you, youwon’t be feeling the world you’ll be felt by it ― you will be embraced by it. Now, I’m always atthe beginning. I have a reset button called presence and I ride that button constantly.
Once that button is functional in your life, there’s no story the mind could create that will beas compelling. The imagination is always manufacturing scenarios ― both good and bad ―and the ego tries to keep you trapped in the multiplex of the mind. Our eyes are not onlyviewers, but also projectors that are running a second story over the picture we see in front ofus all the time. Fear is writing that script and the working title is, ‘I’ll never be enough.’
You look at a person like me and say, (kidding) “How could we ever hope to reach those kinds ofheights, Jim? How can I make a painting that's too big for any reasonable home? How do youfly so high without a special breathing apparatus?” (laughter)
This is the voice of your ego. If you listen to it, there will always be someone who seems to bedoing better than you. No matter what you gain, ego will not let you rest. It will tell you thatyou cannot stop until you’ve left an indelible mark on the earth, until you’ve achievedimmortality. How tricky is the ego that it would tempt us with the promise of something wealready possess.
So I just want you to relax―that’s my job―relax and dream up a good life! (applause) I had asubstitute teacher from Ireland in the second grade that told my class during Morning Prayerthat when she wants something, anything at all, she prays for it, and promises something inreturn and she always gets it. I’m sitting at the back of the classroom, thinking that my familycan’t afford a bike, so I went home and I prayed for one, and promised I would recite therosary every night in exchange. Broke it―broke that promise. (laughter)
Two weeks later, I got home from school to find a brand new mustang bike with a banana seatand easy rider handlebars ― from fool to cool! My family informed me that I had won the bikein a raffle that a friend of mine had entered my name in, without my knowledge. That type ofthing has been happening ever since, and as far as I can tell, it’s just about letting theuniverse know what you want and working toward it while letting go of how it might come topass. (applause)
Your job is not to figure out how it’s going to happen for you, but to open the door in yourhead and when the doors open in real life, just walk through it. Don’t worry if you miss yourcue. There will always be another door opening. They keep opening.
And when I say, “life doesn’t happen to you, it happens for you.” I really don’t know if that’strue. I’m just making a conscious choice to perceive challenges as something beneficial sothat I can deal with them in the most productive way. You’ll come up with your own style,that’s part of the fun!
Oh, and why not take a chance on faith as well? Take a chance on faith ― not religion, but faith.Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire.Faith leaps over it.
You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world and after you walk through thosedoors today, you will only ever have two choices: love or fear. Choose love, and don’t ever letfear turn you against your playful heart.
Thank you. Jai Guru Dev. I’m so honored. Thank you.
篇4：关于毕业典礼英语演讲稿
i take with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - heres how it goes:
my uncle ordered popovers from the restaurants bill of fare. and when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare . . . then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: ”to eat these things,“ said my uncle, ”you must excercise great care. you may swallow down whats solid . . . but . . . you must spit out the air!“
and . . . 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.
thank you.

i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.
today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.
the first story is about connecting the dots.
i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?
it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: ”we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?“ they said: ”of course.“ my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.
and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.
none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
my second story is about love and loss.
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 in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?
well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
i really didn't 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.
i didn't 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.
during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.
pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.
i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.
sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.
you've got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. don't settle. as with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. and, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. so keep looking until you find it. don't settle.
my third story is about death.
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

译文
首先，我们要培养学生学习英语的兴趣。让学生在学习中去寻找欢乐，在欢乐中找到兴趣，在兴趣中下决心，在决心中培养毅力，即动因+兴趣+决心+持之以恒=成绩。当然开始学英语时不要追求太高，太难。指导学生从简单的，有趣的，好笑的开始使学生找出适合自己的学习兴趣。同时引导他们“from easy to difficult.”。并允许学生出错，不要追求每个单词都正确。，
其次，学生有了兴趣，帮助他们制定计划。每天看英语材料和听英语广播，寻找学习环境，生活范围有多大，学英语的天地就有多宽广，利用一切机会去接触英语。在课堂上让学生试着讲英语，平时同学之间交流时多用英语，鼓励学生不要怕出错，错了没关系。同时要建立每周学习生词的目标，在记录词汇本里，记录各种各样的生词，短语。因为学好英语必须要有词汇作基础，要打持久战;记单词要打游击战。就能做到“from little to more”。
学英语如同交朋友，在不同的场合接触就可能记牢，不能孤立的记单词，要记住它的左邻右舍。同时很有必要指导学生大量的.阅读，这对学习英语有是非常重要的，多了解西方文化，学习西方习惯，掌握大量的语言背景是学习的又一条重要途径。那么就达到from chinese to english。我们最终要达到目的 “from english to english ，from english to chinese ”
最后，让学生在苦中享受欢乐，越学越有趣，从被动变主动，从要我学变为我要学.
篇7：毕业典礼英语演讲稿
Thank you very much, Margaret, for that very generous introduction.
First, let me say congratulations to our graduates. Welcome back to our alumni. Good afternoon to everyone – colleagues and friends, and family members, loved ones, and our most special guest – our eminent speaker. It’s a pleasure to address you this afternoon and to offer a few reflections as I approach the end of my first year as president.
I realize, however, that I’m literally the last thing standing between you and the speech that you’ve all actually come here to hear. So, while I can’t promise to be mesmerizingly eloquent, I can at least promise to be mercifully brief.
We gather this afternoon buoyed by the aspirations of our graduates – some 7,100 people who have distinguished themselves in nearly every field and every discipline imaginable. We welcome them into the venerable ranks of our alumni, and we send them forth into a world that is very much in need of both their minds and their hearts.
篇8：毕业典礼英语演讲稿
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 “don’t give up your study.” most of the courses you have taken are partly for your certificate. 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 come back to you again. when you are old, and when your energy are getting poorer, you will not 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, “after 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 study 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 it’s not a problem. you may know 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 pages.
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? it’s up to you all.
henrik ibsen said, “it is your greatest duty to make yourself out.”
studying is then as tool as casting. giving up studying will destroy yourself.
i have to say goodbye to you all. your alma mater will open her eyes to see what you will be in 10 years. goodbye!

i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.

I’ve yet to meet anyone who thinks that this world that we live in is?perfect.?
This is not a political statement. It’s equally true of liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. And if you don’t think the world that we live in is perfect, the only way it gets better is if good people work to repair it. Our students, our faculty, our staff and alumni are doing that daily, and it makes me so proud.
This year, I had the privilege to meet, and be moved by, not just one but two of the nation’s preeminent poets – the United States Youth Poet Laureate, our own Amanda Gorman, and the United States Poet Laureate, our own Tracy K. Smith. I’ve also had the chance to marvel at artists who every day breathe life into our campus with their performances and their creative work –it’s amazing to see the talent that is represented on this campus and among our alumni, our faculty, and staff.
And every day, I’ve learned more about the remarkable efforts of our faculty to improve the world:Alison Simmons and Barbara Grosz were [are] making sure that the next generation of computer scientists is prepared to address the ethical questions posed by the development of new digital technologies;
Ali Malkawi and his HouseZero, which is demonstrating the possibilities of ultra-efficient design and new building technology to respond to the threat of climate change;

I had the privilege of helping to celebrate members of our community who were recently sworn in as new United States citizens – graduates of the Harvard Bridge Program. Through their own hard work, and with the generous help of volunteer student and alumni tutors, they can now enjoy the full rights and privileges of citizenship and the full sense of belonging that comes with it. It was truly an inspiring ceremony.
At a time when so many people are dispirited by the deep divisions in our country, when our politics seem so dysfunctional, our graduates are taking up the cause of public service by running for office in record numbers. The world needs them, and their willingness to serve gives me hope.
As Margaret noted, this past year, I traveled to meet alumni who are helping to strengthen communities in Detroit, Dallas, and Houston; in Miami, Phoenix, and New York; in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego – in China, Japan, and England –people who are not only launching and building businesses and creating opportunity, but people who are also teaching, volunteering, advancing important legislation, working for non-profits, and serving the public good.
篇14：中学生英语演讲稿
With the development of science and technology, change has penetrated into every aspect of our daily life. to illustrate that, i'd like to make a comparison of these two seemingly insignificant things: milkman and mailman, whose differences indicate our changing way of living with the times.
Home milk delivery has almost gone extinct in china now, also gone with it are the milkmen, who once delivered bottled fresh milk door-to-door. on the other hand, mailman's business or the courier service has thrived as online shopping gains popularity. however, in retrospect, i find something has been lost in this transition, something shakespeare called as “the milk of human kindness”.
When i was a kid, milk wasn't for sale everywhere. for the families who need it, they depended on the milkmen to take it from the local dairy farms to their houses. in our neighborhood, there was such a milkman, whose arrival was much anticipated by the children and always brought us laughter and joy. he knew the name of every kid and could easily see through our tricks. if we didn't behave, he would side with our parents and threaten to rob us of the nutritious drink. the entire neighborhood was acquainted with him; saw him as a member of the community just like the many residents or street vendors. there was a bond between all of us for it was not only the commodities that been transacted, but also a sense of caring and dependability. and that small box fixed onto our door, other than being a drop-off point for milk; it was a communication junction between the people as we took the initiative to reach out to others.
Fast forward to today, milk is ubiquitous with no dedicated delivery system. but the convenience level of our live has gone up a notch. almost everything is for sale online, which spares us all the travelling and talking. with a few ready clicks, shopping is done. the rest is left for those speed delivery companies. usually it's a grumpy mailman, who reaches us through cell phone, urging everyone to pick up their parcels as soon as possible. and the minute the receipt is signed, we rush back to unpack while the courier dashes to the next destination. there is barely a conversation carried out, nor do we feel the need to talk to such a stranger, who changes from time to time frequently. it seems that people are always in a hurry now, though we have more conveniences, still we run short of time to stop and stare, to speak and share.
Call me an old-timer, but i think the personal touch represented by the milkman is what has been missing in the modern society. william wordsworth once wrote that “getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.” modern technology may have multiplied our possessions or gave us more conveniences, but we run the risk of reducing our values if we lay waste our power of interpersonal relationships.
