------------------------------------It is such an honor and pleasure for me to be back at Yale, especially on the occasion of the 300thanniversary. I have had so many memories of my time here, and as Nick was speaking I thought about how I ended up at Yale Law School. And it tells a little bit about how much progress we’ve made.What I think most about when I think of Yale is not just the politically charged atmosphere and not even just the superb legal education that I received. It was at Yale that I began work that has been at the core of what I have cared about ever since. I began working with New Haven legal services representing children. And I studied child development, abuse and neglect at the Yale New Haven Hospital and the Child Study Center. I was lucky enough to receive a civil rights internship with Marian Wright Edelman at the Children’s Defense Fund, where I went to work after I graduated. Those experiences fueled in me a passion to work for the benefit of children, particularly the most vulnerable.Now, looking back, there is no way that I could have predicted what path my life would have taken. Ididn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and thenI’ll go to work at the Children’s Defense Fund, and then the impeachment inquiry, and Nixon retired or resigns, I’ll go to Arkansas. I didn’t think like that. I was taking each day at a time.But, I’ve been very fortunate becauseI’ve always had an idea in my mind about what I thought was important and what gave my life meaning and purpose. A set of values and beliefs that have helped me navigate the shoals, the sometimes very treacherous sea, to illuminate my own true desires, despite that others say about what l should care about and believe in. A passion to succeed at what l thought was important and children have always provided that lone star, that guiding light. Because l have that absolute conviction that every child, especially in this, the most blessedof nations that has ever existed on the face of earth, that every child deserves the opportunity to live up to his or her God-given potential.But you know that belief and conviction-it may make for a personal mission statement, but standing alone, not translated into action, it means very little to anyone else, particularly to those for whom you have those concerns.When I was thinking about running for the United States Senate-which was such an enormous decision to make, one I never could have dreamed that I would have been making when I washere on campus-I visited a school in New York City and I met a young woman, who was a star athlete.I was there because of Billy Jean King promoting an HBO special about women in sports called “Dare to compete.” It was about Title IX and how we finally, thanks to government action, provided opportunities to girls and women in sports.And although I played not very well at intramural sports, I have always been a strong supporter of women in sports. And I was introduced by this young woman, and as I went to shake her hand she obviously had been reading the newspapers about people saying I should or shouldn’t run for the Senate. And I was congratulating her on the speech she had just made and she held onto my hand and she said, “Dare to compete, Mrs. Clinton. Dare to compete.”I took that to heart because it is hard to compete sometimes, especially in public ways, when your failures are there for everyone to see and youdon’t know what is going to happen from one dayto the next. And yet so much of life, whether we like to accept it or not, is competing with ourselves to be the best we can be, being involved in classes or professions or just life, where we know we are competing with others.I took her advice and I did compete because I chose to do so. And the biggest choices that you’ll face in your life will be yours alone to make. I’m sure you’ll receive good advice. You’re got a great education to go back and reflect about what is right for you, but you eventually will have to choose and I hope that you will dare to compete. And by that I don’t mean the kind of cutthroat competition that is too often characterized by what is driving America today. I mean the small voice inside you that says to you, you can do it, you can take this risk, you can take this next step.And it doesn’t mean that once having madethat choice you will always succeed. In fact, you won’t. There are setbacks and you will experience difficult disappointments. You will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked out of you. But if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others. You can get back up, you can keep going.But it is also important, as I have found, not to take yourself too seriously, because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit. I think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. I chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything I’ve ever done, determined my course.You compare my or your circumstances with those of the majority of people who’ve ever lived or who are living right now, they too often are born knowingtoo well what their futures will be. They lack the freedom to choose their life’s path.They’re imprisoned by circumstances of poverty and ignorance, bigotry, disease, hunger, oppression and war.So, dare to compete, yes, but maybe even more difficult, dare to care. Dare to care about people who need our help to succeed and fulfill their own lives. There are so many out there andsometimes all it takes is the simplest of gestures or helping hands and many of you understand that already.I know that the numbers of graduates in the last 20 years have worked in community organizations, have tutored, have committed themselves to religious activities.You have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was the right thing to do andbecause it gave something back to you. You have dared to care.Well, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women, against hate crimes and bigotry. Dare to care about public schools without qualified teachers or adequate resources. Dare to care about protecting our environment. Dare to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. Dare to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. The seven million people who suffer from HIV/AIDS. And thank you for caring enough to demand that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with HIV/AIDS, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further.And yet, there is a real resistance, a turning awayfrom the political process. I hope that some of you will be public servants and will even run for office yourself, not to win a position to make and impression on your friends at your 20th reunion, but because you understand how important it is for each of us as citizens to make a commitment to our democracy.Your generation, the first one born after the social upheavals of the 60’s and 70’s, in the midst of the technological advances of the80’s and 90’s, are inheriting an economy, a society and a government that has yet to understand fully, or even come to grips with, our rapidly changing world.And so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. Dare to help make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. Some have called you the generation of choice.You’ve been raised with multiple choice tests,multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. You’ve grown up choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to people in prior generations.You’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. And I think as I look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only freedom, but personal responsibility.The social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides, drunk driving deaths being down.Community service and religious involvement being up. But if you look at the area of voting among 18 to29 year olds, the numbers tell a far more troubling tale. Many of you I know believe that service and community volunteerism is a better way of solving the issues facing our country than political engagement, because you believe-choose one of the following multiples or choose them all-government either can’t understand or won’t make the right choices because of political pressures, inefficiency, incompetence or big money influence.Well, I admit there is enough truth in that critique to justify feeling disconnected and alienated. But at bottom, that’s a personal cop-out and a national peril. Political conditions maximize the conditions for individual opportunity and responsibility as well as community. Americorps and the Peace Corps exist because of political decisions. Our air, water, land and food will be clean and safe because of political choices. Our ability to cure disease or log onto the Internet have been advanced because of politically determined investments. Ethnic cleansing in Kosovoended because of political leadership. Your parents and grandparents traveled here by means of government built and subsidized transportation systems. Many used GI Bills or government loans, as I did, to attend college.Now, I could, as you might guess, go on and on, but the point is to remind us all that government is us and each generation has to stake its claim. And, as stakeholders, you will have to decide whether or not to make the choice to participate. It is hard and it is, bringing change in a democracy, particularly now. There’s so much about our modern times that conspire to lower our sights, to weaken our vision-as individuals and communities and even nations.It is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about; rather it’s a silent conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our popular culture and in our prodigious consumerism.But as many have said before and as Vaclav Havel has said to memorably, “It cannot suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. It is necessary to understanddifferently and more perfectly the true purpose of our existence on this Earth and of our deeds.” And I think we are called on to reject, in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us down and instead to liberate our God-given spirit, by being willing to dare to dream of a better world.During my campaign, when times were tough and days were long I used to think about the example of Harriet Tubman, a heroic New Yorker, a 19th century Moses, who risked her life to bring hundreds of slaves to freedom. She would say to those who she gathered up in the South where she kept going back year after year from the safety of Auburn, New York, that no matter what happens, they had to keep going. If they heard shouts behind them,they had to keep going. If they heard gunfire or dogs, they had to keep going to freedom. Well, thosearen’t the risks we face. It is more the silence and apathy and indifference that dogs our heels.Thirty-two years ago, I spoke at my own graduation from Wellesley, where I did call on my fellow classmates to reject the notion of limitations on our ability to effect change and instead toembrace the idea that the goal of education should be human liberation and the freedom to practice with all the skill of our being the art of making possible.For after all, our fate is to be free. To choose competition over apathy, caring over indifference, vision over myopia, and love over hate.Just as this is a special time in your lives, it is for me as well because my daughter will be graduating in four weeks, graduating also from a wonderful place with a great education and beginning a new life. And as I think about all the parents and grandparents who are out there, I have a sense of what their feeling. Their hearts are leaping with joy, but it’s hard to keep tears in check because the presence of our children at a time and place such as this is really a fulfillment of our own American dreams. Well, I applaud you and all of your love, commitment and hard work, just as I applaud your daughters and sons for theirs.And I leave these graduates with the same message I hope to leave with my graduate. Dare to compete. Dare to care. Dare to dream. Dare to love. Practice the art of making possible. And no matter what happens, even if you hear shouts behind, keep going.Thank you and God bless you all.马云卸任CEO演讲：明天起生活将是我的工作（名人励志演讲稿英语）HANGZHOU: Alibaba chief Jack Ma stepped down before a potential initial public offering as the Chinese online retail giant announced a $294 million stake purchase in digital mapping firm AutoNavi.阿里巴巴董事局主席马云正式卸任集团CEO一职。

海伦参加演讲比赛输了安慰英语作文English:After losing the speech contest, Helen might feel disappointed and frustrated, as she likely put in a lot of effort and preparation. It's important for her friends and family to be supportive and understanding during this time. They can remind her that losing doesn't diminish her worth or talent, and that setbacks are a natural part of growth and learning. Encouraging her to reflect on what she learned from the experience and how she can improve for next time can help her see the contest as a valuable opportunity for growth. Additionally, they can suggest that she seek feedback from the judges or other participants to gain insight into areas she can work on. Overall, the key is to remind Helen that her value is not determined by her performance in one contest, and that setbacks can be stepping stones to future success.Translated content:在失去演讲比赛后，海伦可能会感到失望和沮丧，因为她很可能付出了很多努力和准备。

关于失败的英语演讲稿2023关于失败的英语演讲稿1As the saying goes: "failure is the mother of success." This seems to have become a commonplace talk of an old scholar, but the actions and words are sometimes not consistent. When you report "red light", or the difficulties encountered in the work, your heart is in addition to upset, the other nothing? Are you aware of this failure is pregnant with the seeds of success! In this regard, everyone's answer is certainly not the same! This is quite necessary to talk about: failure is the mother of success.There everything is going smoothly. Things, yet failure is always there, otherwise, the "inventor", "literary giant" reputation will not easily fall everyone's head? Throughout history, those who rise above the common herd men can succeed, it is because they can treat correctly failure, learn from failure to kick in, fail this stumbling block, set foot on the road to success, such as the great inventor Thomas Edison, too many to count - successful students, life is too many to count the failure. He was an invention has undergone eight thousand failed experiment, but he does not think it is a waste, but said: "why should I sad? This failed eight thousand times at least, so I understand the eight thousand experiments is not feasible." Edison's attitude towards failure. He often draw lessons from failure, sum up experience, thus achieved at a failed many times in the basis of inventions. Failures will bring pain, but it can also make people gain; it is pointed out to us that the errors and shortcomings in work, but also inspire us step by step to success. Failure is the success of negation, and is the foundation of success, that is to say: "failure is the mother of success."However, in reality the success not failure accumulation, butfailed to summary and beyond. If you don't understand this point, will cause the "absurd conclusion failure of more and more successful". Such as mathematics famous parallel axiom, from its inception, has always been suspicions. For thousands of years, countless mathematicians committed to proving the parallel axiom, but failed. The mathematician Porie engaged in the parallel axiom that there is no success, eventually died a painful death in despair. While the problem like a bottomless pit, gobbling up the people's wisdom and gives nothing in return, LObachevsky after seven years of verification without results, find out the reasons of failure. LObachevsky after numerous failures, summarizes and analyzes the failure of the antecedents and consequences, from the understanding of the problem, which was a success. Thus, "failure is the mother of success" is an objective law, but really want to transition from failure to success may become a reality, but also must pass through the analysis of exploration and scientific constantly, draw lessons from failure, to guide future work, so it is not "in vain" failure.Young people prone to failure in the work, also easy to lose heart, therefore, we only remember "failure is the mother of success." this saying, to establish a strong self-confidence, can see the hope from the disappointment, from failure to success."Failure is the mother of success" should not only be our favorite motto, it is more important to be our guide to action. "Bao Jianfeng from sharpen out, the plum blossom incense come from the bitter cold", benefit from the failure, rising from the hard work, this is the youth road.关于失败的英语演讲稿2It is quite usual that one meets failures, for one's life can never be plain sailing. However, diffhrent people hold diffhrent attitudestowards failure. Some people think it a heavy blow to fail in achieving something and they can not endure failure. When they meet failure, they will be seriously dejected and can never pluck up their courage to try again. However, others think it natural to meet failures in one's career. Therefore, they are psychologically prepared. When they meet failures, they will not be frustrated. Instead, they will continue to meet new challenges. As to me, I'm in favor of the latter view. Failure is really a terrible thing but it is also the mother of success. If one draws lessons from failures, in most cases he will get success in the future. Furthermore, one's life can never be smooth sailing; it must be full of difficuhies and setbacks. If one is daunted by difficuhies and frustrations, he will always be a failure. However, if one holds a positive attitude toward failure, he will overcome difficulties and frustrations to win victory.关于失败的英语演讲稿3All of us experience failure every now and then. Although some people will avoid failure at all costs, some people welcome it. Failure can be a good teacher. It always teaches us to be better the second time around. As they say, "The more you try, the more you'll succeed."我们所有人都有可能会经历成功和失败。

名人励志英语演讲稿：感觉失败及寻找幸福So, Dr. King said, "Not everybody can be famous. But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service." Yet, those of you who are history scholars may know the rest of that passage. He said, "You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Platoor Aristotle to serve. You don't have to know Einstein'stheory of relativity to serve. You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace and a sould generated by love."所以，正如马丁·路德·金所说：“不是所有人都会成名。

但每个人都能够变得伟大，因为伟大是通过服务他人而界定的。

”你们当中学历史的人可能会知道接下来的小节。

他说：“为别人提供服务，并不一定要有大学学历，并不一定要主谓一致，并不一定要了解柏拉图和亚里士多德，并不一定要知道爱因斯坦的相对论，并不一定要了解物理学中的热力学第二定律。

---------------------------------------------------------------范文最新推荐------------------------------------------------------成功与失败英语演讲稿成功与失败英语演讲稿（一）Failure is what often happens.it is everywhere in your life.students may fail in exams, science may fail in their researchwork,and athletes may fail in competitions.although failure happens to everyone, attitudes towards failure are various. some people don’t think their failure is a very important thing at all. so they pay no attention to it. as a result, they will have the same failure a previously later.they spend their thime and energy on useless things and they may really be fools as they have thought.Success is not easy to talk about because the word success it-self has hundreds of definitions. For some it means power, for some it means wealth, for others it is fame or great achieve-ments. But I have my own understanding of it.Success means to try your best.Many people believe that success means to win. In my opin-ion, it means to try your best when you do everything, no matter you will win or not. When you are taking part in a long-distance race, if you keep on running as fast as you can, you are1 / 21successful, although you may be the last to pass the finishing-line. Because you have showed your best to others, and you have made I your greatest effort to be the winner. Success means to work hard.No one can succeed without any hard work. Karl Max was successful, because he spent more than 30 years writing the book “Communist Manifesto”; Tomas Edison succeeded, because he had experimented thousands of times to find the best material for lights. Every success calls for hard work. If you want to suc-ceed, work hard first.other people are quite different from the two kinds of people mentiond above. instend of being distressed and lost,they draw a lesson from every failure and become more experienced. after hard work, they will be successful in the end. It is said that failure is the mother of success. success will be gained after times of failures so long as we are good at drawong lesson from our failures.in my opinion , failure is not a bad thing , the really bad thing is taking a failure as failure or even lose our heart after failure.More importantly, today, the world is undergoing fast rhythm of changing, some issues occur in one way this time and reoccur---------------------------------------------------------------范文最新推荐------------------------------------------------------in another way that time.Such instability and inconstancy make many long-time-lasting conventions and traditions not valid any longer. People encounter pile of new conditions everyday in current society, it is hard to find adequate reference from the wisdom of conventions for all of these new thing, what can really lead people to success is rational mind and creative ways of thinking. To meet the requirement of new missions, only creative activities could give out adaptive strategies. Without creative thinking ways, there would no such increasingly development of science and technology in the past two centuries, no new type America-style democracy in the world, no so many products making modern life so comfortable and convenient. Creative practices and original idea are the engine of the fast development of modern life, and are most essential for people to accomplish successful achievement in all kinds of fields.成功与失败英语演讲稿（二）Perhaps the sky is still blue, but I can see the black sky. Perhaps the flowers are still beautiful, but I can see the ugly flowers. Perhaps the sun still shines, but there’s no sun in my world. Perhaps the world doesn’t change, but my world is3 / 21changing. The exam has been over, but I can’t wake up because I think I did very badly.But I know, even if you didn’t do well this time, but you can do well next time. Time can’t run backwards, you can try your best to do something well in the future.I think, there’s no winning or losing in the world. Tomorrow, the sun rises again; we will have a new day!成功与失败英语演讲稿（三）Good morning. Ladies and gentlemen. Life has its ups and downs.I bet everyone here has gone through success and failures, am I right? Therefore, what’s your understanding of success and failure? What do you think is the biggest success in one’s life? XXX, can you share your idea with us?Personally, I think success and failure are terms that don’t necessarily call for a universal definition since all of us have our own definitions. That is to say, people can be successful in different areas such as in one’s job and hobbies, living a successful private life, or running a successful relationship. Assume that there are two men, one is wealthy and the other is needy. The wealthy one loves making money and is always busy with his work. He is satisfied with his business though he hardly has time to have dinner with his wife and children. The---------------------------------------------------------------范文最新推荐------------------------------------------------------ needy one loves leisure. He has an easy but low-paid job so that he can have time to spend with his family. In general, he could have delicious and warm dinner with his families every day. He’s happy, too. Which one do you think is more successful in his life? In my opinion, they are both successful because they both get what they want.Everyone will be successful in his or her own area. So, never look down on anyone including yourself. One of my friends is crazy about computer games, thus neglecting his study. All the teachers regarded him as a failure. But actually he is successful in the games. He has won the first prize in many E-sports games.Another example to support my statement. I think that everyone knows Luo Yufeng who is in America now. Severals years ago, she was under the spotlight and attracted a strong criticism. It seemed that her life was utterly a failure since everyone was laughing at her. But, I think she is successful not because she’s famous but she wanted to immigrant to America and achieved.In many cases, whether we are successful or not is judged by others, actually, we should judge it by5 / 21ourselves. As long as you have your own goal, you know exactly what you want, you are successful when you achieve it. So, leave all the negative comments outside the door. Be yourself, follow your own cause and enjoy your own success!Thank you sincerely!1、相传喽罗到凡间危害众生和庄稼，人们用火把焚烧了害虫战胜了天神。

名人励志英语演讲视频：Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not 失败是一个选项，但畏惧不是--詹姆斯·卡梅隆Speech to TED February, 2010关于这场演讲：James Cameron的大笔预算（票房更庞大）的电影创造出想象的世界。

在这个演讲中，他揭露了自己从小就喜欢奇幻体验的背景：阅读科幻小说，深海潜水，以及这一切如何转变成成功的巨片如《异形二》、《终结者》、《泰坦尼克号》与《阿凡达》。

I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. In high school I took a bus to school an hour each way every day. And I was always absorbed in a book, science fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that I had.And you know that curiosity also manifested itself in the fact that whenever I wasn’t in school I was out in the woods, hiking and taking “samples”——frogs and snakes and bugs, and bringing them back, looking at them under the microscope. You know, I was a real science geek. But it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility.And my love of science fiction actually seemed to mirrored in the world around me, because what was happening, this was in the late’ 60s, w e were going to the moon, we were exploring the deep oceans. Jacques Cousteau was coming into our living rooms with his amazing specials that showed us animals and places and a wondrous world that we could never really have previously imagined. So, that seemed to resonate with the whole science fiction part of it.And I was an artist. I could draw. I could paint. And I found that because there weren’t video games and this saturation of CG movies and all of this imagery in the media landscape, I had to create these images in my head. You know, we all did, as kids havingto read a book, and through the author’s description put something on the movie screen in our heads. And so, my response to this was to paint, to draw alien creatures，alien worlds, robots, spaceships, all that stuff. I was endlessly getting busted in math class doodling behind the textbook. That was, the creativity had to find its outlet somehow.And an interesting thing happened——Jacques Cousteau shows actually got me very excited about the fact that there was an alien world right here on Earth. I might not really go to an alien world on a spaceship someday. That seemed pretty darn unlikely. But that was a world I could really go to, right here on Earth, that was as rich and exotic as anything that I had imagined from reading these books.So, I decided I was going to become an exotic scuba diver at the age of 15. And the only problem with that was that I lived in a little village in Canada, 600 miles from the nearest ocean. But I didn’t let that daunt me. I pestered my father until he finally found a scuba class in Buffalo, New York, right across the border from where we live. And I actually got certified in a pool in a YMCA in the dead of winter in Buffalo, New York. And I didn’t see the ocean, a real ocean, for another two years, until we moved to California.Since then, in the intervening 40 years, I’ve spent about 3,000 hours underwater, And 500 hours of that were in submersibles. And I’ve learned that deep ocean environment, and even the shallow ocean, is so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. Nature’s imagination is so boundless compared to our own meager human imagination. I still, to this day, stand in absolute awe of what I see when I make these dives. And my love affair with the ocean is ongoing, and just as strong as it ever was.But, when I chose a career, as an adult, it was film making. And that seemed to be the best way to reconcile this urge I had to tell stories, with my urges to create images. And I was, as a kid, constantly drawing comic books, and so on. So, film making was the way to put pictures and stories together. And that made sense. And of course the stories that I chose to tell were science fiction stories: Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss. And with The Abyss, I was putting together my love of underwater and diving, with film making. So, you know, merging the two passions.Something interesting came out of The Abyss, which was that to solve a specific narrative problem on that film, which was to create this kind of liquid water creature, we actually embraced computer generated animation, CG. And this resulted in the first soft-surface character, CG animation that was ever in a movie. And even though the film didn’t make any money, barely broke even, I should say, I witnessed something amazing, which is that the audience, the global audience, was mesmerized by this apparent magic.You know, it’s Arthur Clarke’s law that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. They were seeing something magical. And so that got me very excited. And I thought, “Wow, this is something that needs to be embraced into the cinematic art.” So, with Terminator 2, which was my next film, we took that much farther. Working with ILM, we created the liquid metal dude in that film. The success hung in the balance on whether that effect would work. And it did. And we created magic again. And we had the same result with an audience. Although we did make a little more money on that one.So, drawing a line through those two dots of experience, came to, this is going to be a whole new world, this was a whole new world of creativity for film artists. So, I started a company with Stan Winston, my good friend Stan Winston, who is the premier make-up and creature designer at that time, and it was called Digital Domain. And the concept of the company was that we would leap-frog past the analog processes of optical printers and so on, and we would go right to digital production. And we actually did that and it gave us a competitive advantage for a while.But we found ourselves lagging in the mid’90s in the creature and character design stuff that we had actually founded the company to do. So, I wrote this piece called Avatar, which was meant to absolutely push the envelope of visual effects, of CG effects, beyond, with realistic human emotive characters generated in CG, and the main characters would all be in CG, and the world would be in CG. And the envelope pushed back. And I was told by the folks at my company that we weren’t going to be able to do this for a while.So, I shelved it, and I made this other movie about a big ship that sinks. You know, I went and pitched it to the studio as Romeo and Juliet on a ship. It’s going to be this epic romance, passionate film. Secretly, what I wanted to do was I wanted to dive to the real wreck of “Titanic”. And that’s why I made the movie. And that’s the truth. Now, the studio didn’t know that. But I convinced them. I said, “We’re going to dive to the wreck. We’re going to fil m it for real. We’ll be using it in the opening of the film. It will be really important. It will be a great marketing hook.” And I talked them into funding an expedition.Sounds crazy. But this goes back to that theme about your imagination creating a reality. Because we actually created a reality where six months later I find myself in a Russian submersible two and a half miles down in the north Atlantic, looking at the real “Titanic” through a view port, not a movie, not HD, for real.Now, that blew my mind. And it took a lot of preparation, we had to build cameras and lights and all kinds of things. But, it struck me how much this dive, these deep dives waslike a space mission. Where it was highly technical, and it required enormous planning. You get in this capsule, you go down to this dark hostile environment where there is no hope of rescue if you can’t get back by yourself. And I thought like, “Wow. I am like living in a science fiction movie. This is really cool.”And so, I really got bitten by the bug of deep ocean exploration. Of course, the curiosity, the science component of it. It was everything. It was adventure. It was curiosity. It was imagination. And it was an experience that Hollywood couldn’t give me. Because, I could imagine a creature a nd we could create a visual effect for it. But I couldn’t imagine what I was seeing out that window. As we did some of our subsequent expeditions I was seeing creatures at hydrothermal vents and sometimes things that I had never seen before, sometimes things that no one had seen before, that actually were not described by science at the time that we saw them and imaged them.So, I was completely smitten by this, and had to do more. And so, I actually made a kind of curious decision. After the success of Tit anic, I said, “Okay, I’m going to park my day job as a Hollywood movie maker, and I’m going to go be a full time explorer for a while.” And so, we started planning these expeditions. And we wound up going to the Bismark, and exploring it with robotic vehic les. We went back to the “Titanic” wreck. We took little bots that we had created that spoolled a fiber optic. And the idea was to go in and do an interior survey of that ship, which had never been done. Nobody had ever looked inside the wreck. They didn’t have the means to do it, so we created technology to do it.So, you know, here I am now, on the deck of “Titanic”, sitting in a submersible, and looking out at planks that look much like this, where I knew that the band had played. And I’m flying a little robotic vehicle through the corridor of the ship. When I say, I’m operating it, but my mind is in the vehicle. I felt like I was physically present inside the shipwreck of “Titanic”. And it was the most surreal kind of deja vu experience I’ve ever had, be cause I would know before I turned a corner what was going to be there before the lights of the vehicle actually revealed it, because I had walked the set for months when we were making the movie. And the set was based as an exact replica on the blueprints of the ship.So, it was this absolutely remarkable experience. And it really made me realize that the telepresense experience that you actually can have these robotic avatars, then your consciousness is injected into the vehicle, into this other form of existence. It was really really quite profound. And may be a little bit of a glimpse as to what might be happening some decades out as we start to have cyborg bodies for exploration or for other means in many sort of post-human futures that I can imagine, as a science fiction fan.So, having done these expeditions, and really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing animals. They are basically aliens right here on Earth. They live in an environment of chemosynthesis. They don’t survive on sunlight based system the way we do. And so, you’re seeing animals that are living next to a 500 degree Centigrade water plumes. You think they can’t possibly exist.At the same time I was getting very interested in space science as well, again, it’s the science fiction influence, as a kid. And I wound up getting involved with the space community, really involved with NASA, sitting on the NASA advisory board, planning actual space missions, going to Russia, going to the pre-cosmonaut biomedical protocols, and all these sorts of things, to actually go and fly to the international space station with our 3D camera systems. And this was fascinating. But what I wound up doing was bringing space scientists with us into the deep. And taking them down so that they had access astrobiologists, planetary scientists, people who were interested in these extreme environments, taking them down to the vents, and letting them see, and take samples and test instruments, and so on.So, here we were making documentary films, but actually doing science, and actually doing space science. I’d completely closed the loop between being the science fiction fan, as a kid, and doing this stuff for real. And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot. I learned a lot about science. But I also learned a lot about leadership. Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.I didn’t really learn about leadership unt il I did these expeditions. Because I had to, at a certain point, say, “What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?” We don’t make money at these damn shows. We barely break even. There is no fame in it. People sort of think I went away between Titanic and Avatar and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach. Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.No fame, no glory, no money. What are you doing? You’re doing it for the task itself, for the challenge —— and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team. Because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time. Sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you’ve done a task that you can’t explain tos omeone else. When you come back to the shore and you say, “We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attentuation, and the this and that, all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can’t explain it to people. It’s that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it. Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.So, when I came back to make my next movie, which was Avatar, I tried to apply that same principle of leadership which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. And it really changed the dynamic. So, here I was again with a small team, in uncharted territory doing Avatar, coming up wit h new technology that didn’t exist before. Tremendously exciting. Tremendously challenging. And we became a family, over a four and half year period. And it completely changed how I do movies. So, people have commented on how, well, you brought back the ocean organisms and put them on the planet of Pandora. To me it was more of a fundamental way of doing business, the process itself, that changed as a result of that.So, what can we synthesize out of all this? You know, what are the lessons learned? Well, I think number one is curiosity. It’s the most powerful thing you own. Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. And the respect of your team is more important than all the laurels in the world. I have young film makers come up to me and say, “Give me some advice for doing this.” And I say, “Don’t put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you, don’t do it to yourself, and don’t bet against yourself. And take risks.”NASA has this phrase that they like: “Failure is not an option.” But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration, because it’s a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. So, that’s the thought I would leave you with, is that in whatever you’re doing, failure is an option, but fear is not. Thank you.可以失败，不能畏惧詹姆斯•卡梅隆TED大会上的演讲2010年2月在我成长过程中，科幻小说一直是我的精神食粮。

永不疲惫,永不气馁,永不完竭President Clinton, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, the peaceful transfer of authority is rare in history, yet common in our country. With a simple oath, we affirm old traditions and make new beginnings.尊敬的克林顿总统、各位嘉宾、我的同胞们：这次权利的和平交接在历史上是罕见的，但在美国却很平常。

我们以朴素的宣誓庄严地维护了古老的传统，同时开始了新的历程。

As I begin, I thank President Clinton for his service to our nation. And I thank Vice President Gore for a contest conducted with spirit and ended with grace.首先，我要感谢克林顿总统为这个国家作出的贡献，也感谢副总统戈尔在竞选过程中的热情与结束竞选时的风度。

I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.站在这里，我倍感荣幸，也有点受宠若惊。

在我之前，许多美国领导人从这里起步；在我之后，也会有许多领导人从这里继续前进。

We have a place, all of us, in a long story—a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer. It is the American story—a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.在美国悠久的历史中，我们每个人都有自己的位置；我们还在继续推动着历史前进，但是无法看到它的尽头。
