My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It
In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even.
Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what ?we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream”stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world.
But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal. Clearly, I was born at a very inconvenient time, not only for China, but even for the world, there were problems.
In 1978, ten years later, I was 10. I still lived in the very little city that had only 200 thousand people at the time I was born. It was 2000 km from Beijing. If
you wanted to read the newspaper from Beijing, you waited three days. So for us, there was no such thing as news. That year my grandfather passed away. Two years before that my father passed away. So there was just my mother left to take care of me and my brother. Her monthly salary was not even ten dollars. As a result, even though I was 10, the word “dream” was still not in my vocabulary, and I would never think of it. I could not see hope in this family, but only felt bitter cold every winter. Where we lived was close to the Soviet Union. Yet the 1978 in which I could not see hope was also the year that a huge change took place, whether for China or for the relationship between China and America. That is a date that everybody here today should remember.
December 16, 1978, China and America officially established diplomatic relations. That was a big event. And two days after that, December 18 was when China opened the 3rd Plenary Session of the Eleventh CPC Central Committee. That was the beginning of thirty-one years of Reform and Opening. History, two great nations, and a very pitiful family all became intertwined in a theatrical way. Truthfully, from the small personal family, to the big family of the country, nobody then had any idea what the future would be like.
In 1988, I was 20. At this time I had already come out of the little border town to Beijing as a university student. Although we have many people in China today criticizing China’s university entrance exams and see many many deficiencies in it, it must be said that it is such a system that allowed very ordinary people like me to have the opportunity to change our lives. Of course, at that time, America was no longer a very distant country. It became very specific. It was no longer the “Imperialist America” of the past slogans, but it became the many details in our lives. This was the first time that I tasted Coca-Cola. When I finished drinking it I believed China and America were truly so close, because it tasted just like Chinese medicine.
That was a time when I took a crazy liking to rock’n’roll. That was a time when Michael Jackson still looked relatively handsome. More importantly, that was a time when China experienced very big transformations, as Reform and Opening had already gone on for ten years. That year, China began experimenting with market pricing for many goods. It may feel like something totally incomprehensible to you, but it was a
big deal in China, a huge step, because before that the prices were decided by the government. But in that year, because price controls were relaxed, the whole country went on a crazy shopping spree. Everybody all thought, how long could this last, so they had to get a whole life’s worth of food and goods to bring home. That year symbolized that China marched closer and closer to a market economy.
Of course back then nobody knew that market economy could also have a subprime crisis. Anyway, I know that 1988 was an extra important year for Yale, because a Yale alum once again became an American President.
In 1998, I was 30. I had already become a news anchor at CCTV. More importantly, I had become the father of a one-year-old child. That year a very important thing happened between China and America, and the protagonist was Clinton. Perhaps you remember his sexual scandal in America, but in China what we remember is his visit to China that year. In June, when he visited China, he and President Jiang Zemin held an open press conference in the Great Hall of the People. Then he gave an open lecture at Peking University. The live anchor for both events was me.
During Clinton’s lecture at Peking University, because he used his own translator the whole time, I guessed that many Chinese viewers only knew that Clinton was definitely saying something, but what he said wasn’t all that clear. So near the end of my live broadcast, I remarked that it looked like for America to learn more about China, sometimes it needed to start with language, though for our two countries, face-to-face was always better than back-to-back. It was also at the beginning of that year that I drove the first car in my life. For me this was unimaginable before, that Chinese people one day would also drive their own cars. A personal delight can also make a lasting impression, because sometimes the first time is the most unforgettable.
In 2008, I was 40. The words “I have a dream” that haven’t been discussed for many years now were heard among so many Americans. It seemed like Obama really did not want to accept Yale’s 20-year occupation of America. Using words like “change” and “dream”, he even convinced Yale teachers and students to parade and celebrate his election to the Presidency, according to what I’ve heard.
But this was also a year in which the Chinese Dream showed clearly. After encountering many setbacks as any grand dream in the world is destined to, it came through. Whether it was the long-awaited Beijing Olympics, or the first spacewalk by a Chinese aboard the Shenzhou 7, these were all dreams which we have waited for a long time since a long time ago. But the sudden Sichuan Earthquake made all this not as magnificent as we had expected. Eighty-thousand lives departed, and made every day of 2008 seem like a year. I’m guessing that on Yale’s campus, on every web site, in front of television and newspapers, were also many people from China, and people in all parts of the world, who shed tears for these lost lives. Just like forty years ago when Mr. Martin Luther King fell but allowed the words “I have a dream”to stand higher, more enduring, and seem ever more valuable, more Chinese people also came to understand that dreams are important, but lives are even more so.
During the Olympics, I passed my own fortieth birthday. That day I was full of emotional thoughts, because when the day of my birthday approached, I was broadcasting an exciting competition. Twenty-four hours later, when my birthday was passing, I was still broadcasting. But that day I felt very fortunate. Because it was such a special fortieth birthday at the Beijng Olympics that made me realize the Chinese Dream behind my personal story.
It was in this kind of forty years that I went from a far-away border-town kid who had no possibility of having a dream, to a newsman who could be at a big festival celebrated with all of humanity and who could communicate and share the happiness with them. This was a life story that took place in China. And in this year, China and America were not far apart. There was a bit of me in you and a bit of you in me, we needed each other. It was said that President Bush spent the longest time in any country abroad as President, and that was during the Beijing Olympics. Phelps took eight medals there, and his family was there by his side. All Chinese wished that extraordinary family well. Of course, every dream will pass. In such a year, China and America almost simultaneously found their new “I have a dream” moment, and it was so coincidental, and so deserving.
America is facing a very very difficult financial crisis, and it isn’t only America,
but it affects the whole world seriously. Yesterday I got to New York. As soon as I deplaned, I went to Wall Street. There I saw the statue of President Washington. His gaze was permanently fixed on the huge American flag on the stock exchange. Interestingly, the hall behind the statue was holding an exhibition on “President Lincoln in New York”, so President Lincoln’s huge portrait was also on it, and he also gazed at the flag. I felt the very solemn weight of history. When I left there, I told my colleague this. I said, many many years ago, if something like this befell America, perhaps Chinese people would have taken pleasure, because see, America is miserable again. But today, Chinese people would especially wish that America get better soon. Because we have hundreds of billions worth of money with America. We also have a huge quantity of products waiting to be put on freighters and sent to America. If America’s economy takes a step for the better, it means behind these products, another Chinese gets a raise, it means he regains his employment and happiness in the family.
In the past 30 years, I don’t know if you’ve noticed the Chinese Dream that is relevant to more and more ordinary Chinese people. I don’t know what other country in this world, in the past 30 years, has changed the individual fates at this magnitude.
A kid from a remote small city on the periphery, a kid in despair, today has the chance to have an exchange with these Yale students. Maybe we can change the viewpoint, and look at 1.3 billion very ordinary Chinese, their down-to-earth dreams, their impulsive drive to change their fates, their still kindhearted temperament, and their diligent character. Today’s China is made up of these words I just spoke.
In the past many years, Chinese seemed to be looking at America through a telescope. So everything good that is in America was magnified by this telescope. Frequently people mentioned America was like this and like that, then look at us, when can we be like that. In the past many years, Americans also seemed to be looking at China through a telescope, but I am guessing they held it backwards. Because what they saw was a diminished, always-doing-wrong, full-of-problems China. They overlooked 1.3 very ordinary Chinese people and this impulsive drive and urge of theirs to change their fate, which caused such huge transformations in our country. But I also always had this dream: why do we need to use telescopes to look at each other?
Of course I hope very many Americans have a chance to go see China, and not to look at China through the media. You know I don’t really trust all of my colleagues. I’m just kidding. Actually I respect my American colleagues very much. I only hope that more and more American friends go to see a real China. Because I can at least guarantee one thing. Even if in America you ate what was deemed to be the best Chinese food, in won’t fetch a good price in China. Just like many many years ago, in every city of China there was this popular “California Beef Noodle” shop. Many Chinese all thought, anything from America was definitely very very tasty. So they all went to eat. Although it was not very tasty, they didn’t complain because they knew it was from America. This fast-food chain existed in China for many years, until more and more Chinese people came to America, and searched every corner of California for a California Beef Noodle shop, and could not find a single one. Only then did more and more Chinese know that California doesn’t have such beef noodle, so this chain store in China is in the process of disappearing. This is the kind of discrepancy I am talking about. As we come and go, such misunderstandings will be fewer and fewer.
So lastly I just want to say one thing again. Forty years ago, when Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream” spread across the world. But, you must know that there is not just an English version of “I have a dream.” In the distant East, in the China that has held on for thousands of years, there is also a dream. It isn’t a grandiose slogan, it doesn’t lie with the government. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have a dream” written in Chinese.

白岩松：我的故事以及背后的中国梦 过去的20年，中国一直在跟美国的三任总统打交道。但是，今天到了耶鲁大学我才知道，其实它只跟一所学校打交道。透过这三位总统我也明白了，耶鲁大学毕业生的水准也并不是很平均。 接下来，就进入我们今天的主题，如果要起个题目的话，应该叫《我的故事以及背后的中国梦》。 那一年，我们更应该记住的是马丁·路德·金先生遇刺。虽然，那一年他倒下了，但是“我有一个梦想”的这句话却真正地站了起来，不仅在美国站了起来，也在全世界站了起来。我要讲五个年份，第一要讲的年份是1968年。 那一年我出生了。但是，那一年世界非常乱，在法国有巨大的街头的骚乱……在美国也有，然后美国总统候选人罗伯特·肯尼迪遇刺了(他的哥哥约翰·肯尼迪总统在1963年遇刺)。但是，的确这一切的原因都与我无关(哄堂大笑)。 那一年，我们更应该记住的是马丁·路德·金先生遇刺。虽然，那一年他倒下了，但是“我有一个梦想”的这句话却真正地站了起来，不仅在美国站了起来，也在全世界站了起来。但是，当时很遗憾，不仅仅是我，几乎很多的中国人并不知道这个梦想。因为当时中国人，每一个人很难说拥有自己的梦想，将自己的梦想变成了一个国家的梦想，甚至是领袖的一个梦想。中国与美国的距离非常遥远，不亚于月亮与地球之间的距离。但是我并不关心这一切，我只关心我是否可以吃饱。 很显然，我的出生非常不是时候，不仅对于当时的中国来说，对于世界来说，似乎都有些问题(众笑)。 1978年，10年之后，我10岁了。 我依然生活在我出生的地方，那个只有20万人的非常非常小的城市。它离北京的距离有2000公里，它要想了解北京出的报纸的话，要在三天之后才能看见。所以，对于我们来说，是不存在新闻这个说法的(众笑)。 那一年，我的爷爷去世了。而在两年前的时候，我的父亲去世了。所以，只剩下我母亲一个人抚养我们哥儿俩，她一个月的工资不到10美元。因此，即使10岁了，梦想这个词对我来说，依然是一个非常陌生的词汇，我从来不会去想它。我母亲一直到现在也没有建立新的婚姻，是她一个人把我们哥俩抚养大。我看不到这个家庭的希望，只是会感觉，那个时候的每一个冬天都很寒冷。 就在我看不到希望的1978年的时候，不管是中国这个国家，还有中国与美国这两个国家之间，都发生了非常巨大的变化。那是一个我们在座的所有人都该记住的年份：1978年的12月16日，中国与美国正式建交，那是一个大事件。而在中美建交两天之后，12月18日，中国共产党十一届三中全会召开了，那是中国改革开放31年的开始。 历史将两个伟大的国家、一个非常可怜的家庭就如此戏剧性地交织在一起，不管是小的家庭，还是大的国家，其实当时谁都没有把握知道未来是什么样的。接下来的年份，该讲1988年了，那一年我20岁。 这个时候我已经从边疆的小城市来到了北京，成为一个大学生。虽然，今天在中国依然还有很多的人在抨击中国的高考制度，认为它有很多很多的缺陷。但是，必须承认正是高考的存在，让我们这样一个又一个非常普通的孩子，拥有了改变命运的机会。 当然，这个时候美国已经不再是一个很遥远的国家，它变得很具体，它也不再是那个过去口号当中的“美帝国主义”(众笑并鼓掌)，而是变成了生活中很多的细节。 这个时候，我已经第一次尝试过可口可乐，而且喝完可口可乐之后会觉得中美两个国家真的是如此接近(众笑)。因为，它几乎就跟中国的中药是一样的(众笑)。

白岩松励志的演讲稿 关于白岩松励志演讲稿 有很多的年轻人会问我，说现在的社会不良现象都是凭父亲，有关系等等，看相貌等等。我就问他，凭父亲，起码还得有父亲，我八岁的时候，我父亲就去世了，我母亲一个 人带大我们哥俩。我们在内蒙古偏远的地方带大，离苏联最近。我在北京没有一个亲戚， 我没有因为自己的工作送过一回礼，我不也走到了今天吗?我知道社会上有很多不良的现象，我告诉你，信那些该信的东西，因为它能改变你。因为如果你要信那些你没法不愤怒 的事情，它只能害了你。所以信正直的道理。论相貌，你怎么也比我强，你不能看顺眼了，现在觉得我很好看，人不能这么没立场。所以反过来说，我为我经历过这样的青春而感到 骄傲，它也能让我今天面对任何事的时候心平气和。人生如果没有一些落差做比较的话， 人生就没有那么多趣味了。 日本有一个非常年轻的小伙子，他很惊讶，他说富二代在日本被人瞧不起，大家都认 为是寄生虫，反而逼得富二代自己去拼、去奋斗，而我们为什么不这样想呢?房价会不会降，我不是算命师，我只知道中国13亿人，你们自己去想。但是政府有义务，也有责任 去创造更多的廉租房，拿出更多的地盖保障房，让更多人居者有其屋，不是居者有产权屋，将来我希望你们有产权，但是一步一步的来。因此告诉你更真实的事实，残酷却美好，不 至于骗了你。 北漂一族，大家说，离开北京，回重庆、成都，回自己的家乡，探讨这个问题有意义吗?你有机会就留在这儿，甚至可以去纽约、伦敦，没有机会死守在这儿没有意义。但是 我想说，当初我们想留在北京都不可能，因为没有全国粮票。那个时候没有全国粮票，想 到外地飘不可能，我的很多同学都是30岁以后，背井离乡，放弃家里温暖的被窝和孩子 关切的目光到北京来闯荡和流浪的。而现在毕业了以后就可以在北京闯，当然有很多的抱怨，每天坐地铁、蚁族等等。我当初实习的时候，我在广播学院，离城里很远，那个时候 没有地铁，我为了不挤公共汽车，早上五点多钟，要赶老师的班车去广播电台实习，我经 常上了车就睡着，然后车一停就下去。结果有一天，莫名其妙的这辆汽车中间停了一站， 我看也没看，因为车一停就下去了，车走了，我才发现没有到目的地。 那一天，我悲从中来，比你今天要绝望得多。但是都走过来了。我们这个时代的青春，不如你们的一点就是我们那个时候有天大的委屈，都没有互联网，没有广泛的媒体，我们 的委屈声听不到，而你们所有的声音可以迅速的放大成为全社会的问题，祝福你们、祝贺 你们，社会不得不关注你们，我也坐在这儿，不得不谈论你们。因此我充满了羡慕。 没有一代的青春是容易的。青春如果没有了奋斗，没有了挣扎，没有了希望，没有了 绝望，还叫什么青春?举一个例子，我在大学的时候我们学校流行一首诗，回忆的时候才 知道我们那个时候也不怎么好。我们那个时候流行21岁走出青春的沼泽地，我告诉各位，青春是一生当中最迷盲、焦虑、充斥着绝望、挑战的时候，但是为什么所有的人都说青春

白岩松演讲稿 白岩松演讲稿： 这可能是我在接下来要讲的内容当中可能很少会提及的字眼，但是它可能无处不在。在XX年1月1日的《人民日报》上，有一篇社论叫《伟大的一年》，当这一年过去的时候你回头看这篇社论题目的确非常准确，然而定性为伟大的时候，那是因为一切我们在那一年可以想得到的很多的事情，改革三十年，北京奥运会，神州七号等等。但是想不到会有雨雪冰冻灾情，尤其想不到会有汶川大地震，也想不到金融危机。然而正是这样一系列的事件混杂在一起，印证了伟大的一年这样一个标题的正确，正是因为有一系列的事件震撼了我们的心灵，这一年才可以写进历史。 从哪儿说起呢，讲一个故事吧，一个13岁的四川女孩，名字叫黄思语，她是映秀小学的一个学生，大地震发生的瞬间，她被砸在了废墟的下面，后来她被送到了华西医院截肢了，再后来送到北京要装假肢，当我看到这个孩子的时候，她一直在笑，小姑娘漂亮得让人心疼，陪着她的是她的妈妈，一直在北京进行治疗，她们家只有四口人，但是一场大地震让这个家庭在三个地方生活，几个月他们都没有见面。XX年的11月底，因为集善嘉年华这样一个公益的活动，组织方把他们一家人给团聚了，一家四口人抱在一起哭，现场几百人都在哭，同情，心疼，不忍，然而当我们流着泪水的时候，突然在我的心里又生出了一种羡慕，为什么，因为这个家庭几乎什么都没有了，但是你知道，他们有爱，又亲情，有思念，尤其重要的是有希望。 一场特别大的灾难让我们付出了非常大的代价，但是这样大的代价有的时候也是一种提醒，提醒我们在日常生活中，总有那些被你司空见惯的你都不觉得是什么的幸福，其实一直都守护在你都身边，只 第2 页共23 页
New York Senate speech By Hilary Clinton You know, you know, we started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pindars Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan’s beautiful farm and 62 coun ties, 16 months, 3 debates, 2 opponents, and 6 black pantsuits later, because of you, here we are. You came out and said that issues and ideals matter. Jobs matter, downstate and upstate. Health care matters, education matters, the environment matters, Social Securit y matters, a woman’s right to choose matters. and I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you, New York! Thank you for opening up your minds and your hearts, for seeing the possibility of what we could do together for our children and for our future here in this state and in our nation. I am profoundly grateful to all of you for giving me the chance to serve you. 大家知道，我们是在七月的一个阳光灿烂的早上，从帕特和丽兹·莫伊尼汉的美丽农场的宾德角开始迈出了这艰难的一步，然后辗转六十二个县，历经过十六个月、三场辩论，打败了两个竞争对手，穿破六套黑色便服。终于在你们的支持下，我们站在了这里。 你们说的这些事情和观念非常重要--全州的就业问题是重要的，保健是重要的，教育是重要的，环境是重要的，社会保险是重要的，还有妇女选择权是重要的。这些全都重要，而我只想衷心道一声：谢谢你，纽约！ 感谢你们敞开心扉，感谢你们看到了这可能性--我们将一起为后代、为我们纽约以至全国的将来而共同努力。我对你们每个人都深怀谢意，感谢你们给了我一个为大家服务的机会。

My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It In the past twenty years, China has faced three American presidents, but till coming to Yale today, I never realized that China really just faced one university. Although, through these three presidents, I understand that the quality of Yale graduates is not so even. Let me begin my main subject and let me give it a title, called “My Story and the Chinese Dream Behind It”. I want to talk about five particular years. The first is 1968. That year I was born. But it was also a chaotic year for the world. In France, there was this huge street disturbance, and in America, too. Then President Kennedy was assassinated. However, I really did not cause all of these! But that year what ?we remember more was the assassination of Mr. Martin Luther King. Although he fell that year, his words “I have a dream” stood up, not only stood up in America, but across the whole world. But sadly, not only for me, but for almost all Chinese, we did not know such a dream. It was hard to describe each Chinese as having his or her own dream. China and America were so far apart, no less far apart than the Moon and the Earth. But I didn’t care about any of that. All I cared about was could I have a full meal.

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. I didn’t sit around the law school, saying, well, you know, I think I’ll graduate and then I’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 because I’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.

白岩松的一篇优秀演讲稿：人格是最高的学位 文章导读：“人格是最高的学位”，要想做一名优秀的节目主持人，首先要学会怎样去做一个优秀的人。 很多年前，有一位学大提琴的年轻人去向20世纪最伟大的大提琴家卡萨尔斯讨教：我怎样才能成为一名优秀的大提琴家？卡萨尔斯面对雄心勃勃的年轻人，意味深长地回答：先成为优秀而大写的人，然后成为一名优秀而大写的音乐人，再然后就会成为一名优秀的大提琴家。 听到这个故事的时候，我还年少，对老人回答中所透露出的含义理解不多。然而，在以后的工作生涯中，随着采访接触的人越来越多，这个回答在我脑海中便越印越深。 在采访北大教授季羡林的时候，我
听到一个关于他的真实故事。有一年秋天，北大新学期开学，一个外地来的学子背着大包小包走进了校园，实在太累了，就把包放在路边。这时正好一位老人走来，年轻学子就拜托老人替自己看一下包，自己则轻装去办理手续。老人爽快地答应了。近一个小时过去，学子归来，老人还在尽职尽责地看守着。学子谢过老人，两人分别。几日后北大举行开学典礼，这位年轻的学子惊讶地发现，主席台上就座的北大副校长季羡林，正是那一天替自己看行李的老人。 我不知道这位学子当时是一种怎样的心情，但我听过这个故事之后却强烈地感觉到：人格才是最高的学位。后来，我又在医院采访了世纪老人冰心。我问她：您现在最关心的是什么？老人的回答简单而感人：是老年病人的状况。 当时的冰心已接近自己人生的终点，而这位在“五.四运动”中走上文学之路的老人，对芸芸众生的关爱之情历经80年的岁月而仍然未老。这又该是怎样
的一种传统！ 冰心的身躯并不强壮，然而她这生却用自己当笔，拿岁月当稿纸，写下了一篇关于爱是一种力量的文章，在离去之后给我们留下了一个伟大的背影。 当你有机会和经过“五.四”或受过“五.四”影响的老人接触，你就知道，历史和传统其实一直离我们很近。这些世纪老人身上所独具的人格魅力是不是也该作为一种传统被我们延续下去呢？ 不久前，我在北大又听到一个有关季先生的清新而感人的新故事。一批刚刚走进校园的年轻人，相约去看季羡林先生，走到门口，却开始犹豫，他们怕冒失地打扰了先生，最后决定每人用竹子在季老家门口的地上留下问候的话语，然后才满意地离去。 这该是怎样美丽的一幅画面！在季老家不远，是北大的伯雅塔在未名湖中留下的投影，而在季老家门口的问候语中，是不是也有先生的人格魅力在学子心中留下的投影呢？
希拉里的励志故事，关于希拉里的励志小 故事 希拉里的励志故事，关于希拉里的励志小故事 克林顿·希拉里曾在演讲中多次提及，她在中学读书时与爸爸相处的一件往事： 一个春暖花开的中午，希拉里和爸爸在公园里散步。她发现一个老太太紧裹着一件厚厚的羊绒大衣，脖子上围着一条毛皮围巾，那穿戴仿佛是在滴水成冰的三九隆冬。她说：“爸爸，你看，那位老太太穿的，真是太奇怪、太可笑了!” 当时爸爸的表情有些严肃，沉默了一会儿说：“希拉里，我突然发现你缺少一种本领，就是欣赏别人的本领。这说明你在与别人的交往中，缺少了一些热心和友善。” 希拉里觉得爸爸太小题大做了，很不服气地问：“那你不觉得老太太穿得太多了吗?” 爸爸说：“恰恰相反，我觉得老太太很值得欣赏。她穿着羊绒大
衣，围着毛皮围巾，也许是因为生病初愈，身体还没有完全康复，也许是因为别的什么原因。但你仔细看，她专注地看着树枝上清香、漂亮的丁香花，表情是那么的安详、愉快。她是那么热爱鲜花，热爱春天，热爱大自然。我觉得老太太的神情令人感动!难道你不认为她很美吗?” 希拉里认真地观察了之后，觉得确实像爸爸说的那样，从老太太脸上的笑容可以看到她的内心像怒放的鲜花一样。爸爸领着希拉里走到老太太面前，微笑着说：“夫人，您欣赏鲜花的神情真令人感动，您使这春天变得更加美好了!” 老太太似乎有些激动：“谢谢，谢谢您!先生。”随后，她从提包里取出一小袋饼干，一边递给了希拉里一边夸赞地说：“这孩子真漂亮……” 事后，爸爸对希拉里说：“渴望得到欣赏，是人的本性。一定要学会真诚地欣赏别人，因为每个人都有值得欣赏的优点和特点。当你学会真诚地欣赏别人之日，就是你得到别人更多欣赏之时。” 希拉里的励志故事 关于希拉里的段子，有一个最为经典：有一日，当选总统的克林
白岩松耶鲁大学励志演讲稿 以下内容是由应届毕业生演讲稿网站为大家整理的央视著名主持人白岩松在耶鲁大学的演讲稿全文，白岩松以他的故事为线索串联起了中国当代发展历程，展示了一个正在腾飞的中国形象。 过去的20年，中国一直在跟美国的三任总统打交道。但是，今天到了耶鲁大学我才知道，其实它只跟一所学校打交道。透过这三位总统我也明白了，耶鲁大学毕业生的水准也并不是很平均。 接下来，就进入我们今天的主题，如果要起个题目的话，应该叫《我的故事以及背后的中国梦》。 我要讲五个年份，第一要讲的年份是1968年。那一年我出生了。但是，那一年世界非常乱，在法国有巨大的街头的骚乱……在美国也有，然后美国总统候选人罗伯特·肯尼迪遇刺了(他的哥哥约翰·肯尼迪总统在1963年遇刺)。但是，的确这一切的原因都与我无关(哄堂大笑)。 那一年，我们更应该记住的是马丁·路德·金先生遇刺。虽然，那一年他倒下了，但是“我有一个梦想”的这句话却真正地站了起来，不仅在美国站了起来，也在全世界站了起来。但是，当时很遗憾，不仅仅是我，几乎很多的中国人并不知道这个梦想。因为当时中国人，每一个人很难说拥有自己的梦想，将自己的梦想变成了一个国家的梦想，甚至是领袖的一个梦想。中国与美国的距离非常遥远，不亚于月亮与地球之间的距
离。但是我并不关心这一切，我只关心我是否可以吃饱。 很显然，我的出生非常不是时候，不仅对于当时的中国来说，对于世界来说，似乎都有些问题(众笑)。 1978年，XX年之后，我10岁了。 我依然生活在我出生的地方，那个只有20万人的非常非常小的城市。它离北京的距离有XX公里，它要想了解北京出的报纸的话，要在三天之后才能看见。所以，对于我们来说，是不存在新闻这个说法的(众笑)。 那一年，我的爷爷去世了。而在两年前的时候，我的父亲去世了。所以，只剩下我母亲一个人抚养我们哥儿俩，她一个月的工资不到10美元。因此，即使10岁了，梦想这个词对我来说，依然是一个非常陌生的词汇，我从来不会去想它。我母亲一直到现在也没有建立新的婚姻，是她一个人把我们哥俩抚养大。我看不到这个家庭的希望，只是会感觉，那个时候的每一个冬天都很寒冷。 就在我看不到希望的1978年的时候，不管是中国这个国家，还有中国与美国这两个国家之间，都发生了非常巨大的变化。那是一个我们在座的所有人都该记住的年份：1978年的12月16日，中国与美国正式建交，那是一个大事件。而在中美建交两天之后，12月18日，中国共产党十一届三中全会召开了，那是中国改革开放31年的开始。 历史将两个伟大的国家、一个非常可怜的家庭就如此戏剧性
学习《白岩松励志演讲》有感 学习《白岩松励志演讲》有感 昨天的业务学习，我们共同学习了《白岩松励志演讲关于幸福的公开课》这部分内容，“幸福”这个词在我脑子里跳来跳去，到了我入睡的时间还在晃悠。看过白岩松对幸福的诠释，激起我很多很多的记忆。想起小候羡慕的同学中，谁穿件新衣服就感觉很幸福,遇到下雨天有谁的家长来送一把伞也是一件幸福的事，学到董存瑞、刘胡兰能为国利益而献身，那更是无比幸福的事……后来随着年龄的增加，工作的繁忙，对幸福的感受似乎有些淡弱了。 这正是白岩松提出第一个问题的原因吧！“为什么现在关注幸福？”按理说，现在每个人都应该是幸福的，因为即便是保守地说，不论是城市或是乡村都已达到丰衣足食。可事实并非如此，人们的欲望越来越大了，天天为名忙为利忙，忙蒙了，也就是走的太远了，忘记了当初为什么出发？整天忙得焦虑不安，就忘记了享受当下的一件件的幸福事。这就提醒我们正在赶路的人，要注意歇息，调整心态,慢下脚步边欣赏边前进，幸福就在我们身边，幸福就蕴涵在我们每天的生 活里。 这样想来，发生在我们身边的很多事都是让我们幸福无比的，例如当我抱一大摞作业上楼时，常常都是有学生远远地看到就跑去接住，并问老师哪个班的我送去吧！我心里总是溢满幸福地说，五班的麻烦你送去吧。平时上课时，每次走上讲台前，就看见学生把讲桌擦得干干净净，站在这样的讲桌前那位老师会没有幸福感呢。有的同学利用自己的休息时间，把老师的电脑线全部插好，并且把该堂课要用的课件都调好。还有的同学还会积极主动地给老师的杯子添满水……等等，这些虽是发生在我们身边的一件件小事，可它都是幸福的载体，满载着幸福。
还有前几天旅游张家界时，在芙蓉镇的石板街上正艰难地一级一级向上走时，一曲美妙悠扬的舞曲飘进耳朵，后面一对夫妇走上来，搭讪说，你是经常跳舞的人吧？我说何以见得，看你的身材一看就是，啊！有点过奖了，然后他又问你有三十岁吗？这个问题我有点不敢回答了，走近一看，应该有四十岁了吧，你的身材还保持得那么好啊！此时，为自己的身材无不得意，好幸福啊！虽是陌生人的一个搭讪，也同样可以感受到幸福。其实在家里也是一样，五年前我家买来了属于自已的车，不仅节假日自己一家可以出玩一玩，还可以去看看多年不见的老亲戚老朋友，叙叙旧事迎迎新事，岂不又是人生一大幸福的事。通过这些事我深深的体会到幸福离我们并不遥远，幸福就在我们身边，它包括别人对你的认可、赞誉以及你与别人互相往来中。 白岩松对幸福还有一个经典的诠释，他说幸福就像鞋，关键是你穿着舒服不舒服，也就是说你自己的感受，显然它不包含任何外在的因素，如是不是名牌，款式是否时裳、流行，价位是不是让别人羡慕等等。这就充分说明有些人为什么感觉不幸福呢？原因很简单，就是把外在的东西看得太重了，例如买车吧，一般都是为了工作的需要，根据自己的经济情况去选择，如果加上品牌什么国产的还是进口的，再从价位上与别人相比一下，那幸福感会顿时消失，显然是这些附加值在作怪。总之，幸福就是属于我们自己的感受。 愿我们每个人都有一个健康的心态，时时感受到发生在我们身上的或身边的幸福事。同时也要尽自己的能力为周围的人多创造幸福。这就是学习白岩松这次演讲的最深感受。

4、前些年给主持人大赛当评委，我经常忍无可忍地点评：“又听到一段流畅的废话。”声音完美，一级甲等，字正腔圆，毫无瑕疵，但是说完了我一句没记住。”——白岩松 5、走到生命的哪一个阶段，都该喜欢那一段时光，完成那一阶段该完成的职责，顺生而行，不沉迷过去，不狂热地期待着未来，生命这样就好。不管正经历着怎样的挣扎与挑战，或许我们都只有一个选择：虽然痛苦，却依然要快乐，并相信未来。——白岩松 6、西红柿炒鸡蛋这个衣服还可以吧？很多中国人第一个学会的菜就是西红柿炒鸡蛋，低调又平民。——白岩松 7、多年前有一位中国的文化人，离开了祖国，认为自己从此将成为一棵没有根的树。几个月之后，他走进国外的一家图书馆，在馆藏的典籍中看到了《红楼梦》《水浒传》《三国演义》……在那个昏黄的充满旧书气息的空间里他号啕痛哭。他突然感到安全了，自由了。这不就是中国吗？自己没有离开它呀。——白岩松 8、我和我的同行只是偶尔让这个世界变得更好；大多时间，都是想办法不让这个世界变得更坏。——白岩松
