3. 【大腕愛演講】蘋果總裁喬布斯的斯坦福演講>>

喬布斯也是從名校Reed College半路輟學，白手起家的IT奇才。2005年，他在斯坦福大學發表畢業演講，通過三個小故事簡單回顧了自己的成功歷程。這篇演講堪稱畢業演講中的經典，其中有很多發人深省的段子。摘錄一小段、和大家共勉：

“ Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

魔法教母、《哈利波特》作者J.K羅琳2008年在哈佛大學發表畢業演講。她在演講中回顧了自己青年時期困苦卻意義非凡的經歷，稱自己從失敗中學到了成功。她引用哲學家塞內加的名言送給畢業生：

“As is a tale, so is life: not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”

"For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person, to contribute in some way. "

6. 【大腕愛演講】美國駐華大使洪博培在清華大學的演講>>

DTR is American slang for “define the relationship.”. So in America when two kids are dating, and I’m not going to ask John to come up and describe his experiences, someone will always expect something of the other. Where is the relationship going? Are we going to get married? Are you going to introduce me to your parents?

7. 【大腕兒愛演講】美能源部長朱棣文哈佛畢業演講>>

華裔美物理學家朱棣文2009年在哈佛大學發表畢業演講。朱棣文出身於華人家庭，成長於美國社會這個大熔爐，鑄就了朱棣文既含蓄文雅，又頗具美式幽默的演講風格，大家不妨一起來模仿一下摘錄的部分吧！

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, 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."
