英语毕业演讲稿篇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.
you've got to find what you love. and that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. if you haven't found it yet, keep looking. don't settle. as with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. and, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. so keep looking until you find it. don't settle.
my third story is about death.
when i was 17, i read a quote that went something like: "if you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll 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。

dear leaders, teachers, parents, dear students
hello everyone!
today is an unforgettable and celebratory day. after five years of hard work, the students here have successfully completed their primary school study. they are about to bid farewell to their golden childhood and enter a new journey. first of all, on behalf of all the teachers in the primary school, let me express my heartfelt congratulations to you.
at this moment, looking at your innocent and happy smiling faces, my eyes seem to emerge every bit of your school. five years, we walk hand in hand, the small classroom, sprinkled our laughter, wrote down the figure of our struggle, engraved our heroic oath. we get along day and night. we are teachers and students in class and friends after class. we have established a deep relationship between teachers and students. looking back on the past five years, it seems that it happened yesterday, and every teacher will never forget: the first time you walked into the beautiful and tidy dormitory, lying on the comfortable cot, that excited look; when you first put on the red scarf under the bright national flag, you look solemn; after your own extracurricular learning, you can show your artistic talents on the stage; you use your diligence to repay the teachers' fruitful results: in all kinds of competitions held throughout the country, you have achieved good results many times and won many praises for the school! in the past five years, in the fertile soil of nanshan bilingual school primary school, with the care of school leaders and the careful cultivation of teachers, and with the active cooperation and strong support of parents, you have grown into a vigorous youth.
school is not only the cradle of your growth, you are here to fly the ideal, sowing hope. but today, you are going to bid farewell to your alma mater. the teacher sincerely hopes that you can open up a new situation in the new semester and write your wonderful learning life with a never say die self-confidence! bill gates, the king of computer software, once said: "the secret of my success is not to do something, but to understand what i don't do..." so the teacher hopes that you can distinguish right from wrong, abide by the law, make good use of your words and deeds, and be an upright person.
the reason why eagles fly high and fly freely in the blue sky is that they have a pair of hard wings that have been honed by storms, cold and heat. may you fly high bravely like eagles to welcome a brighter tomorrow and embrace the more dazzling sun.
finally, i hope you can use the green of youth to brew a rich golden autumn in the future!
i wish you success in your studies and a bright future!

i take with me the memory of friday afternoon acm happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. over the several years that i attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch.
i take with me memories of purple parking permits, the west campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in lopata hall, the greenway talk, division iii basketball, and trying to convince dean russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.
finally, i would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. what would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating class of lake forest college by theodore seuss geisel, better known to the world as dr. seuss - heres how it goes:
my uncle ordered popovers from the restaurants bill of fare. and when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare . . . then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "to eat these things," said my uncle, "you must excercise great care. you may swallow down whats solid . . . but . . . you must spit out the air!"
and . . . as you partake of the worlds bill of fare, thats darned good advice to follow. do a lot of spitting out the hot air. and be careful what you swallow.
thank you.

my visit to casals’ house was a reminder to me that we must all try to use our power well. because to not use our power is to abuse it.
to not speak, to remain silent in the face of uncertainty, in the face of the insecurity and massive changes that confront us today, that every one of us confronts every day of our lives – that is an abuse of power.
let us remember: every struggle for reform, innovation, or justice starts with a voice in the wilderness. a voice in the wilderness. vox clamantis in deserto. you all know that.
so, as you go forward today, i’d just like to leave you with this one thought: you have, and always will have, more power than you know. never abuse this power. never abuse this power. it is a gift. use it with great care and with great intention. listen to the voices crying in the wilderness; become one of those voices, a voice for justice and for hope.
remember, always, that you are a human being first. it’s a truth embedded in the very foundation of your liberal arts education. practice your humanity daily. practice that truth. let it power your decisions, let it inspire your thoughts, and let it shape your ideals. then you will soar. you will fly. and you will help others soar and fly.

dear schoolmates,
亲爱的同学们，
as i am graduating, i'd like to write this letter to express my feelings before leaving school. looking back to the past three years, i find that i have become more mature. i have been aware of the importance of learning knowledge, which is beneficial to my future. what impressed me a lot is the help that my teachers and parents offered when i was in trouble, which supported me during the period. moreover, i regretted that i didn't work harder. from time to time, facing the pressure, i quarreled with my parents, about which i feel sorry and regretful. to live up to my parents' expectation, i will make my effort to work harder in university. it is no doubt that there will be many challenges waiting for me. however, no matter how difficult it is, i will spare no effort to overcome it.
我即将毕业了，在我离开学校之前，我写下这封信来表达我的感情。回顾过去的三年时间，我发现我已经变得更加成熟。我已经意识到学习知识的重要性，这对我的未来有很大的帮助。在学习期间令我最动容的是，当我遇到麻烦的时候，我的老师和家人给了我帮助，在这期间鼓励支持我。此外，我也后悔我没有在这期间努力地学习。有时候面对压力，我和我的父母会吵架，我为此感到难过和后悔。为了不辜负父母对我的期望，我将在大学里更加地努力。毫无疑问，未来将会有许多未知的挑战在等待着我。然而，不管有多困难，我都将不遗余力地去战胜它。
when it comes to the suggestion that i can give to you, i hold the belief that in no case should you set aside the study. so far as i'm concerned, it is the determination of working hard that makes you succeed. i wish all of you would realize your dreams.
当你们面临毕业的时候我能给出的建议是，我相信在任何情况下你应该留出了这项研究。所以我而言，它是努力工作的决心，让你成功。我希望你们能实现自己的梦想。
good luck to all of you!
祝你们好运！
yours
爱你们的

dear teachers and students
hello everyone!
the years are in a hurry, and the flowers are blooming and falling. in a twinkling of an eye, the words of six years of primary school students have passed like clouds. however, my heart is still very attached to my alma mater. after six years of primary school life, i can usher in a strange school gate.
here, many memories are clearly reflected in my mind. from the first day of the first grade, i came to this mysterious and strange campus. day by day in the past, the blink of an eye to the second grade. once, my friends and i were chasing each other on the playground. we were very happy. without waiting to be happy, a sudden pain happened to me. there was a classmate who stretched out his foot, but at that time i was still completely immersed in the game. one of them didn't pay attention and was knocked down. but because of my confusion, half of my face fell out of blood, just like the face was destroyed. at that time, the players were stunned and dull for two seconds before they realized that i was wrestling. some of my friends wipe my face with paper towel while walking, while others hold me, showing great concern and anxiety in their eyes. at that time, my tears have been spinning in my eyes, moving tears have been flowing down.
i still remember that when i held the sports meeting, i chose two events, both of which were running, but i was just making trouble. i ran the 100 meter race first, and i came last. i was very discouraged, but the teacher came to comfort me and encouraged me all the time. one day later, it was my 200 meter run, and i was the last runner. the teacher not only didn't say that i was useless, but also encouraged me all the time, saying that you will get good results in the next race. i also want to get good grades very much. i'm born without motor cells. no matter how i practice, i can't even get up. in sports, i may be a dou that i can't help.
goodbye, dear alma mater, the past events in your arms are still fresh in my mind. they are the shining pearls in our memory warehouse; in your arms, we become sensible from ignorance; in your arms, we grow from childish to mature; in your arms, we have changed from timidity to bravery. dear students, please remember that we are together bit by bit, day and night, let our friendship last forever.
