甲骨文总裁拉里埃里森在耶鲁大学的演讲
按:这是甲骨文公司总裁(身价260亿美元) 在耶鲁大学给2000级毕业生的演讲全文,由于他句句惊人,被保安请下讲台。
"Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right. Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even thirty years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a loser. The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser.
And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood.Loser Cum Laude. In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow. I don't see a thousand future leaders in a thousand industries. I see a thousand losers. You're upset. That's understandable. After all, how can I,Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, college dropout, have the audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of the nation's most prestigious institutions?
I'll tell you why. Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second richest man on the planet, am college dropout, and you are not.Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet-for now anyway-is a college dropout, and you are not. Because Paul Allen, the third richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did not. And for good measure,
because Michael Dell, No.9 on the list and moving up fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not.
Hmm … you're very upset. That's understandable. So let me stroke your Egos for a
moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your diplomas were not attained in vain. Most of you, I imagine, have spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've
learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead. You've established good work habits. You've established a network of people that will help you down the road. And you've established what will be lifelong relationships with the word "therapy." All that of is good. For in truth, you will need that network. You will need those strong work habits. You will need that therapy. You will need them because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the richest people in the world. Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your way up to #10 or #11, like Steve Ballmer. But then, I don't have to tell you who he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of grad school. Bit of a late bloomer. Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of you, Are wondering, "Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope for me at all? Actually, no. It's too late. You've absorbed too much, think you know too much. You're not 9 anymore. You have a built-in cap,and I'm not referring to the mortarboards on your heads.
Hmm … you're really very upset. That's understandable. So perhaps this Could be a good time to bring up the silver lining. Not for you, Class of '00. You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to your pathetic $200,000-a-year jobs, where your cheques will be signed by former classmates who dropped out two years ago. Instead, I want to give hope to any underclassmen here today. I say to you, and I can't stress this enough: leave. Pack your things and your ideas and don't come back. Drop out. Start up. For I can tell you that a cap
and gown will keep you down just as surely as these security guards dragging me off this stage are keeping me down…" (At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage.)
耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉—如果你们不喜欢这样的开场白。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你—好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。
说实话,今天我站在这里,并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者,我只看到了一千个失败者。你们感到沮丧,这是可以理解的。为什么,我,埃里森,一个退学生,竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。因为,我,埃里森,这个行星上第二富有的人,是个退学生,而你不是。因为比尔盖茨,这个行星上最富有的人—就目前而言—是个退学生,而你不是。因为艾伦,这个行星上第三富有的人,也退了学,而你没有。再来一点证据吧,因为戴尔,这个行星上第九富有的人—他的排位还在不断上升,也是个退学生。而你,不是。你们非常沮丧,这是可以理解的。你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。你将来需要这种“治疗”`。你需要它们,因为你没辍学,所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。哦,当然,你可以,也许,以你的方式进步到第10位,第11位,就像Steve。不过,我没有告诉你他在为谁工作,是吧?根据记载,他是研究生时辍的学,开化得稍晚了些。
现在,我猜想你们中间很多人,也许是绝大多数人,正在琢磨,"能做什么?我究竟有没有前途?"当然没有。太晚了,你们已经吸收了太多东西,以为自己懂得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了“内置“的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。嗯……你们已经非常沮丧啦。这是可以理解的。所以,现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦—绝不是为了你们,2000年毕业生。你们已经被报销,不予考虑了。我想,你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧,在那里,工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。事实上,我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。我要对他们说,离开这里。收拾好你的东西,带着你的点子,别再回来。退学吧,开始行动。我要告诉你,一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落……就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然……(此时,拉里埃里森被带离了讲台)

推荐ELLISON TO GRADS: DIPLOMAS ARE FOR LOSERS Oracle CEO Urges Students to Drop out, Start up
In one of the more controversial commencement addresses in memory, Oracle CEO and college dropout Larry Ellison told Yale\'s Class of 2000 they were ""losers"" whose hard-won diplomas would never propel them into the ranks of the super rich. The evangelical Ellison, noting that college dropouts Bill Gates, Paul Allen, and Michael Dell were, like himself, on Forbes\' recent top 10 list of billionaires, urged freshmen and sophomores at the ceremony to ""drop out and start up,"" and added that the undereducated Yale security guards who ushered him off stage probably had a better shot at uber-wealth than graduating seniors. What follows is a tran of the speech delivered by Ellison at the Yale University last month: ""Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for me. Please, take a good look around you. Look at the classmate on your left. Look at the classmate on your right.

Ellison在耶鲁大学毕业典礼上演讲
耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你—好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。
请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。
说实话,今天我站在这里,并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者,我只看到了一千个失败者。你们感到沮丧,这是可以理解的。为什么,我,埃里森,一个退学生,竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端?我来告诉你原因。因为,我,埃里森,这个行星上第二富有的人,是个退学生,而你不是。因为比尔?盖茨,这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言—是个退学生,而你不是。因为艾伦,这个行星上第三富有的人,也退了学,而你没有。再来一点证据吧,因为戴尔,这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升,也是个退学生。而你,不是。
……你们非常沮丧,这是可以理解的。
你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。你将来需要这种''''治疗''''。你需要它们,因为你没辍学,所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。哦,当然,你可以,也许,以你的方式进步到第10位,第11位,就像Steve。但,我没有告诉你他在为谁工作,是吧?
根据记载,他是研究生时辍的学,开化得稍晚了些。
现在,我猜想你们中间很多人,也许是绝大多数人,正在琢磨,我能做什么? 我究竟有没有前途?''''当然没有。太晚了,你们已经吸收了太多东西,以为自己懂得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了''''内置''''的帽子,哦,我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。 嗯……你们已经非常沮丧啦。这是可以理解的。所以,现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——

第三篇:《2015级大学新生开学典礼致辞:让我们一起成长》
2015级大学新生开学典礼致辞:让我们一起成长
2015级大学新生开学典礼致辞:让我们一起成长
亲爱的2015级全体新同学,大家晚上好!
伴随着夜幕降临,郑州大学2015级新生开学典礼隆重开幕!我们迎来了来自全国30个省市区的13739名本科生、4632名研究生和来自世界36个国家和地区的306名留学生新同学。在此,我谨代表学校向各位新同学表示热烈欢迎!向养育和培养你们的家人和老师表示崇高敬意和诚挚感谢!
河南地处中原,她不仅是第一人口大省、第五经济大省,更是历史悠久的文化大省。“中原”一词,代表的不仅仅是区位,更代表着中华文化;“中国”一词,最初指的就是以伊洛河为中心的中原地区。中原地区是中华文明的摇篮,也是中国主流文化和主导文化的发源地,历史上曾先后有20多个朝代定都于此,从而造就了悠久、厚重的中原文化;中国八大古都中,河南有其四。河南历史文化遗产丰富,地下文物全国第一,地上文物全国第二。中原文化历史灿烂,在这里产生了最早的汉字:甲骨文,最早的字典:《说文解字》,以及中国最早的诗歌集:《诗经》等。
郑州大学植根于中原大地。她起源于1928年的国立河南大学,建构于2000年原郑州大学、郑州工业大学和河南医科大学三所高校的强强联合,是国家“211工程”重点建设高校、国家“中西部高校提升综合实力计划”建设高校,也是一所具有自己办学历史与特色的高水平综合性大学。
学校学科专业涵盖理学、工学、文学、医学、历史学、哲学、法学、经济学、管理学、教育学、农学、艺术学12个学科门类。现有128个博士点、261个硕士点;有108个本科专业、6个国家重点(培育)学科、37个国家临床重点专科;化学、材料、医学、工程4个学科(领域)ESI排名进入全球前1%;学校占地6540亩;现有在职工作院士7人、长期工作院士18人;学校拥有附属医院9家,开放床位2.2万余张。
从区位到历史,郑大的建设与发展形成了郑大独特的文化。正如前面提到的背景,这种文化包含了四个方面的基因:一是植根中原,中原文化的博大精深、沉稳厚重;二是开放包容,来自全国30个省市区、来自世界64个国家和地区的同学们多元文化交融荟萃;三是多学科贯通融合,12大学科门类的均衡发展所带来的知识交汇、相互碰撞;四是历史积淀,原郑州大学、郑州工业大学、河南医科大学三校在自身悠久历史中形成的校园文化这四个方面共同构成了郑州大学文化的惟一,从而也塑造了郑大的办学特色和郑大人独一无二的精神品格。当大家走进四个校区美丽的校园时,不知是否感触和领略到这种文化的所在?
大家熟悉三字经中孟母的故事,“昔孟母,择邻处”,为了培养儿子,孟母三次搬家,择邻而处。今天大家选择郑大,不仅选择了郑大的学科和专业,更选择了郑大的这{甲骨文,给大学讲话}.
种文化。郑大今天欢迎你们,就是以郑大的文化涵养去滋养每一个郑大人,以“郑大的文化故事”讲述你们每一个郑大人的成长故事。
同学们,这就是郑州大学,是在未来三年、四年、五年乃至更长时间里陪伴你们成长的地方!在今年7月20日高考录取通知书签发仪式上,我对第一批签发录取通知书的同学说:“大学不轻松,大学要从容”。今天,利用这个机会,我来具体谈谈我对这句话的理解和体会。
大学为什么不轻松?
首先是学无止境,知识学习为大学之首要。尽管你们已经进入大学,但还必须好好地学习知识,别忘了你们是求知识来的。你们靠着已有的知识获取了大学的门票,但你们更要通过获得更扎实的知识功底去走向社会。我们说,郑大的新生都是优秀的学生,但我还要强调,郑大的毕业生都以基础知识扎实,发展后劲大而著称。当还没有完全适应大学生活的时候,你们必须面对繁重的基础课学习,这应该是大学给予每位同学的第一个考验。基础要打牢,首先是基础课要学好,本科生和研究生都要如此!在郑大,人才培养有标准、课程设置有体系、培养过程有计划,就是要给每个人塑造一个完整的知识体系。当前,我们特别强调能力培养,但能力提升也是以知识的获取为基础,没有知识,也难有能力!
其次是强魄健体,彰显生命的活力。学习的过程是一个劳心劳力的过程,“虽然我们不能决定明天的太阳几点升起,但我们能够决定我们每天早上几点起床”“每天锻炼一小时,健康工作五十年,幸福生活一辈子”。大学要打好身体的底子,要增强体能,培养一种体育爱好,养成一种锻炼习惯。人的体质好了,自然就会有“精气神”,随之心胸也会更加开阔、学习的压力也就会变成动力。运动赋予我们的不仅是体魄,还“文明”其精神,让我们得到素养提升和心智历练。
最后是德才兼备,人的全面发展是根本。除了丰厚的知识,除了健康的身体,作为一个社会人,还应该有什么呢?大的方面说是你的社会意识与价值取向,小的方面说如待人接物与为人相处等等,所以说,人的全面发展是根本。如果说,高中阶段的成长标志是,获取知识并掌握一定的学习方法,那么大学的成长标志就是,专业知识的获取以及人格的基本成熟。今天一开始我就反复讲郑大文化,就是想大家在这种文化氛围中进行人格与价值的塑造,实现全面的发展。在这方面,我充分相信大家的文化自觉,但我还是要给同学们一个特别的提醒。从行政管理的角度讲,校长的责任是配置资源,但作为一校之长,最根本的任务,就是要引领和营造大学的文化,培养德才兼备的社会有用之才,这就是办大学。这里我也给同学们出一个思考题,从迎新车上要求同学们给父母让座,到迎新周的观看阅兵式、校情院(系)情教育、校纪校规教育,以及两周严格的军事训练,不知道同学们感受到了什么样的信息?{甲骨文,给大学讲话}.{甲骨文,给大学讲话}.{甲骨文,给大学讲话}.
怎样才能从容地上好大学?
首先是有理想。高尔基说过:“一个人追求的目标越高,他的才能就发展得越快”。俞敏洪先生从小就希望穿越地平线走向远方,并谓之“穿越地平线的渴望”。唯有树崇高之理想,才会有明确清晰的奋斗目标,才会有攻坚克难的前进动力,这正是事业获得成功的保障。唯有立宏伟之志向,才不会吐槽大学里三点一线太单调、专业学习太枯燥,才耐得住寂寞,承受得了艰辛,为着自己的理想而奋勇拼搏、无怨无悔、矢志不渝。路漫漫其修远兮,士不可以不弘毅。
其次是有自信。自信是一种高贵脱俗的气质,是坦然豁达的心态,是百折不挠的精神。只有历经风雨、战胜挫折,才能赢得真正的自信,这是大学生活的“必修课”,也是一个人成长成熟的必经之路。大学不仅仅意味着光荣与梦想,还意味着不断的挫折与挑战,譬如专业学习的压力、毕业求职的艰辛等等。有的同学在挫折中丧失了自信、迷失了自我,而更多的同学却在挫败中强大了内心、战胜了自我,“不管风吹浪打,胜似闲庭信步。”{甲骨文,给大学讲话}.
最后是要踏实努力。知足固然常乐,但绝不是不努力的理由。在刚刚过去的俄罗斯喀山游泳世锦赛上,郑州大学体育学院2010级学子宁泽涛勇夺男子100米自由泳决赛冠军,成为史上首位获得该项目世锦赛冠军的亚洲人。人们在惊叹他22秒完美表现的同时,却鲜有人关注到他十余年与泳池、伤病、挫折抗争的漫长历程。从一个瘦弱男孩到世界冠军,十余年的磨砺告诉我们,成长与付出往往同步,成功与拼搏永远同行。钱钟书先生在进入大学后的第一个宏愿就是“横扫清华图书馆”,正是因为数十年如一日的埋头苦读,才成就了学贯中西、博古通今的一代大师。所以,希望同学们一定要坐得“冷板凳”,学得真功夫,做出真学问。
同学们,在历史与未来面前,我用15个字来概括郑大的成长发展之路,那就是“大学之综合”、“学科之特色”、“治理之现代”。“大学之综合”是我们走过的路,合校15年来我们完成了综合性大学的布局。“学科之特色”和“治理之现代”则是我们当下和未来努力的方向。我们将着力推进内涵建设,打造优势特色学科和一流学科,构建科研创新与创新驱动发展体系;实施综合改革,构建现代治理体系,寻求不竭发展的内在动力。
成长,是从幼稚走向成熟的人生经历,是一个从蜕变到涅槃的历练。在国家一流大学建设的新布局中,郑州大学面临着前所未有的机遇和挑战,能否站在国家发展的起点上,努力把握国家的节奏,把郑州大学带入一流大学的行列,我们——包括今天的每一位新同学,责任重大,使命光荣!9月3日,我受邀参加中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利70周年纪念大会。当雄壮的国歌响起,当威武的三军走过,我深深感受到祖国的成长和壮大。你们是祖国的未来和希望。处于这个伟大的时代,作为一个大学,作为大学的每个人,必将担负民族复兴的神圣使命!
风正潮平,自当扬帆破浪;任重道远,更须快马加鞭。同学们,创造郑大新辉煌的接力棒已经传递到你们手上,你们不仅是
