五分钟优秀英语演讲稿 篇1

You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life

is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something,

unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived

at all – in which case, you fail by default.

Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by

passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that

I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong

will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out

that I had friends whose value was truly above the price of rubies.

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger

from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your

ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the

strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by

adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully

won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever

earned.

This means two things. First, whether you are happy or sad

about leaving us behind, whether you will return for another

round of being a student, or you are intent on rejoining us, at

some point, in a professorial capacity and becoming a permanent

member of this community, I can assure you that this is true, what

you have just experienced with stay with you for the rest your

lives and in all likelihood it will take on greater and greater

meaning with the passage of time.

The second point is that I want to ask you this morning to take stock of what is now your deep and experiential knowledge

about the nature and roles of universities like Columbia and with

that knowledge to reflect on the state of modern society and the

threats that we’re now facing to the deepest values that

undergird these institutions, to reflect on what is at stake in our

own country and for the people over the world. We need to raise

our voices at the time, such as this.

The idea of the academy as something separate and discrete

removed from daily life is as old as human civilization. The desire

to step back from the fray, to grasp what is happening at this

moment in history, to find a meaning to it all and to find out what

is good life is forever with us. Who hasn’t at one point or

another wanted to emulate Michel de Montaigne.

If only we could take up residence in a tower on a beautiful

state and write essays connecting the wisdom of the ancients

with contemporary human existence and in that self-reflective

pose discover our true purpose and meaning. This is a secret

dream we all harbor.

As always Shakespeare was familiar with this dream, and we

used it to give us many notable characters whose pursuit of this

ideal often ended in trouble.

You have a world of opportunity in front of you, and it is for

you to decide what to do with this platform that you’ve worked

so hard to earn.

No matter what field you enter after graduation, you have

the opportunity to use your gifts to make a difference in the

world.

This can feel daunting, at the outset of your post-Stanford

life. Some of you may know exactly what contribution you want to make in the world, while others may still be searching for your

way to make an impact.

But whatever you do, whatever profession you pursue or

journey you take – whether you become a teacher or a

community leader, a lawyer or a physician, an engineer or an

artist, or a scholar or a scientist, or a mother or father, a caregiver

to the next generation – whatever you make of your life and the

opportunities before you, I hope you will use your gifts to change

the world for the better.

Having a platform also comes with a responsibility. It requires

an ongoing process of self-examination and a continual return to

your guiding values.

You may find, at times, that the path forward is unclear. Or

you may realize, in hindsight, that you have made missteps along

the way.

All of us make mistakes. I certainly do – just ask my wife and

kids!

All of our lives require self-examination.

Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is

fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that

there was going to be what the press has since represented as a

kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then how far the tunnel

extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a

hope rather than a reality.

So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because

failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped

pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was,
