Stay foolish.When I was 17， I read a quote that went something like： “If you live each day as if it was your last， someday youll 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 my life， would I want to do what I am about to do today？” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row， I know I need to change something.当我十七岁的时候，我读到了一句话：“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话，那么有一天你会发现你是正确的。”这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那时开始，过了33 年，我在每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢？”当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候，我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。 2. 杰夫贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）在普林斯顿毕业典礼的演讲We are our choices.I didnt think Id regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.我认为我不会为失败地尝试而遗憾，但是有所决定但完全不去付诸行动则可能会一直煎熬着我。Will inertia be your guide， or will you follow your passions？你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情？Will you follow dogma， or will you be original？你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新？Will you choose a life of ease， or a life of service and adventure？你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生？Will you wilt under criticism， or will you follow your convictions？你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念？Will you bluff it out when youre wrong， or will you apologize？你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉？Will you guard your heart against rejection， or will you act when you fall in love？你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前？Will you play it safe， or will you be a little bit swashbuckling？你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪？When its tough， will you give up， or will you be relentless？你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行？Will you be a cynic， or will you be a builder？你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者？Will you be clever at the expense of others， or will you be kind？你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良？ 3. JK罗琳在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲As is a tale， so is life： not how long it is， but how good it is， is what mattersGiven a time machine or a Time Turner， I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications， your CV， are not your life， though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult， and complicated， and beyond anyones total control， and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.如果能回到过去，她会告诉21岁的自己：一个人的幸福在于他懂得生活不等于你的收获和成就。你的简历，你的证书并不代表你的生活，尽管很多人会混淆着两者。生活是如此的复杂，任何人都无法掌控它。明白了这一点，你就能够宠辱不惊。 4. 奥普拉（Oprah）在斯坦福2008年毕业典礼上的演讲Feelings， failure and finding happiness.As B. B. King put it， “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.” And learning is really in the broadest sense what I want to talk about today， because your education， of course， isnt ending here. In many ways， its only just begun.The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world， this Earth， to be like a school and our life the classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as full-blown crises. And the secret Ive learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons， lessons from the grandest university of all， that is， the universe itself.正如B. B. King所说：“关于学习的美好在于别人不会把知识从你身上拿走”。学习正是我今天想说的，因为你们的教育并没有在这里结束。在很多情况下，这才是刚刚开使。这个世界将会教会你们很多。我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一个学校和我们人生的教室。有时这些课程会是弯路和障碍。有时会充满危机。我所学的应付这一切的秘密就是去勇于面对，正如我们面对大学课程一样。Now I want to talk a little bit about failings， because nobodys journey is seamless or smooth. We all stumble. We all have setbacks. If things go wrong， you hit a dead endas you willits just lifes way of saying time to change course. So， ask every failurethis is what I do with every failure， every crisis， every difficult timeI say， what is this here to teach me？ And as soon as you get the lesson， you get to move on. If you really get the lesson， you pass and you dont have to repeat the class. If you dont get the lesson， it shows up wearing another pair of pantsor skirtto give you some remedial work.现在我想谈谈失败。没有人他的一生是一帆风顺的。我们都会遇到困难，受到挫折。如果事情出错了，你进入了死胡同，这正是生活在告诉你是时候改变了。所以，每当遇到困难和危机时，我都会问它教会了我什么？只要你吸取了教训，你就会继续前进。如果你真正吸取了教训，你就会顺利通过考验，不用再取经受失败了。如果你没有吸取教训，它会以另外一种形式给出现在你面前并给你一些补救。 5、Ellen DeGeneres在纽奥良大学的毕业典礼Youre going to be OKSo In conclusion， when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up， I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world， drive nice cars， I want to have groupies. To quote the Pussycat Dolls. How many people thought it was “boobies”， by the way？ Its not， its “groupies”。 But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow， youll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you， today， success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. 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 youre not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. to contribute in some way.因此，这是不是结论的结论，当我年轻时，对成功的定义不同，我想我的志愿是：我想出名，想当明星，拍电影，我想要去看世界，开名车，有一群死党 但今日我对成功的定义变了，当你长大，你就会发现这点。对你们中的很多人来说，成功的定义是能灌下20杯龙舌兰酒（大家笑）。 对我来说，生命中最重要的事是：活得诚实！别逼自己去做不是真正的你，要活得正直，有怜悯之心，在某些方面有所贡献。So to conclude my conclusion： follow your passion， stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone elses path， unless youre in the woods and youre lost and you see a path， and by all means you should follow that. Dont give advice， it will come back and bite you in the ass. Dont take anyones advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.因此，这是结论的结论（众人笑）：追随热情，忠于自我，绝不要追随别人的脚步，除非你在森林里迷路了才要这么做。别给人忠告，别接受任何人的忠告。所以我要给大家的忠告是（大家大笑）：做真实的你，一切都会没事的。You know, often our most fearsomecompetitor is ourselves. We struggle with all of the internal doubts and anxieties, fears for the future concerns for the world. Sometimes when I look at whats happening in the world, its hard to imagine going out and doing anything of meaning. But we can do it and not only that, we must. America needs you to grab hold of this moment. To dare to compete to do the best you can and to help make our country the best it can be and I promise Ill do what I can as a senator representing this extraordinary wonderful state, to help you in every way possible. So today, after youve accepted your diploma, but before you leave this place, please thank your family for guiding you to this moment. Thank your professors for showing you a new world. Thank your friends for exploring that world and finally remember what this day feels like. Cherish it always. Go for it. God speed the world awaits you. Thank you all very much.你们都知道很多时候我们最可怕的敌人就是我们自己，我们跟内心的各种对世界未来的怀疑、忧虑和恐惧作斗争。有时，看着世界上正在发生的一切，我难以想象自己走出去并做些有意义的事。但事实是，我们能够这样做，而且我们必须这样做。美国需要大家抓紧这一时刻，勇于竞争并尽你们所能，让我们的国家变得尽可能美好。而我，作为美丽非凡的纽约州的议员，承诺我会尽我所能来帮助你们。今天，在领完你们的毕业证书离开校园之前，请你们感谢你们的家人，感谢他们的指导使你能到达今天这个激动人心的时刻。感谢你们的教授把一个全新的世界展现给你们。感谢你的朋友们，一起探索这个世界。最后，请记住今天这份美好的感觉。永远珍惜它，不断地追求。世界等待这你们，愿上帝助你们成功。感谢大家。
