畢業(yè)典禮演講稿英文 篇1

　　i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.

　　today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.

　　the first story is about connecting the dots.

　　i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?

　　it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.

　　and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

　　it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.

　　none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

　　again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

　　my second story is about love and loss.

　　i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?

　　well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

　　i really didn't know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.

　　i didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

　　during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

　　pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.

　　i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.

　　sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.

　　尊敬的領導、老師、親愛的同學們：

　　大家好!

　　很榮幸今天能夠站在這里，代表_級全體畢業(yè)生在此發(fā)言。我的發(fā)言不代表過去，不代表未來，卻代表著每一個即將離校學子的肺腑之言。首先，允許我代表全體畢業(yè)生向辛勤付出的領導和老師表示最衷心的感謝和最崇高的敬意!

　　大學生活如白駒過隙匆匆流逝，卻又在而后的思念里細水長流，思念中夾雜著深情，夾雜著感動。大學三年，每個人都有著自己太多的忘不了。忘不了教學樓里的考場，那里依然留有我們戰(zhàn)斗過的痕跡;忘不了宿舍樓下的草地，那里依然飄蕩著青青香草的味道;更忘不了溫馨的寢室里，仿佛依舊回蕩著大家的歡聲笑語，一幕幕場景就像一張張絢爛的剪貼畫，串連成一部即將謝幕的電，播放著我們的快樂和憂傷，記錄著我們的青春與過往，也見證著我們的情深義重。相信大學日子里的酸、甜、苦、辣給每一個人都留下了彌足珍貴的記憶;相信大學三年的學習會成為我們每一個人未來發(fā)展的不竭動力;相信自信、專注的精神將是我們一生的財富。

　　自從大一當上副班長開始，到現在工作崗位的變動，既是對自己努力工作后的肯定，更是對未來所走道路方向的苛求。自從認識身邊的你們開始，到此時在為工作中遇到的各種選擇而彷徨，一起快樂，一起悲傷。每個人都忙忙碌碌，一切仿佛一首沒寫完的詩，匆匆開始就要匆匆告別。但是，如果大學再來一次，相信自己還會選擇同樣的學習和生活方式。因為，我很珍惜也很慶幸，短暫的三年學習時光，有著這么一段刻苦銘心的記憶。大學留給了我們最美好的回憶，也給了我們人生最大的慰藉。

　　三年中，我們學會了成長，學會了思考，學會了合作與競爭，學會了彼此信賴。一起走過的日子，有老師的殷切教導和期望一路陪伴，使得我們獲得知識的同時也獲得了希望，我們相互扶持、互相鼓勵。朋友溫馨的笑容，班級溫暖的氣氛，讓我們學會去愛，去堅持，去相信未來!親愛的老師，是你們教會了我怎樣做個有責任心的人，讓我學會了怎樣為人處事，怎樣平衡學習與工作的關系。讓我在學習之余統籌安排工作，讓學習與工作變得更加有效率!在此，請允許我代表所有的畢業(yè)生向敬愛的學校領導和老師們說聲：謝謝。感謝你們一直以來的幫助與支持!

　　畢業(yè)是一首久唱不衰的老歌，是散場之后的余音繞耳，是所有甜美或者苦澀的故事，定格為熱淚盈眶的欣悅，依然真誠直率的目光，依然奔流激蕩的熱血，讓時間作證，承載著夢想的我們一定會更加勇敢、堅強、成熟地面對未來!我們一定會做擁有智慧并富有激情的人，做胸懷大志并腳踏實地的人，做德才兼?zhèn)洳⒂掠趧?chuàng)新的人，做富有責任并敢挑重擔的人!從大紅鷹走出來的我們，無論我們走到哪里，請不要忘記：這個世界有一種美好，那便是昔日時光;這個世界有一種經典，那便是今朝拼搏;這個世界有一種永恒，那便是我們的夢想!

　　最后，我們將最美好的祝愿送給紅鷹旗幟下辛勤勞作的教師們，祝愿我們的老師身體健康，工作順利!祝愿我們母校的明天更加輝煌!謝謝大家!
