2、不罢休。生命太短暂，所以不能空手走过，你必须对某样 东西倾注你的深情。2020 commencement address at harvard university u.s. secretary of energy steven chumadam president faust, members of the harvard corporation and the board of overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, todays graduates,thank you for letting me share

3、 this wonderful day with you.i am not sure i can live up to the high standards of harvard commencement speakers. last year, j.k. rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. the year before, bill gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer ner

4、d stood here. today, sadly, you have me. i am not wealthy, but at least i am a nerd.my address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. the first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. this next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, s

5、eldom remembered, never followed. as oscar wilde said, “the only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. it is never of any use to oneself.”so, here comes the advice. first, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. thank your parents and friends who

6、supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success.

7、to your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. also, of course, thank harvard. should you forget, theres an alumni association to remind you.second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. in all negotiations, dont barga

8、in for the last, little advantage. leave the change on the table. in your collaborations, always remember that “credit” is not a conserved quantity. in a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit.my third piece of advice is as follows: as you begin this new stage of your live

9、s, follow your passion. if you dont have a passion, dont be satisfied until you find one. life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something.here is my final piece of advice. pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. when you are old and gra

10、y, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. the source of that pride wont be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. it will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.finally, as humanists, i ask that you speak to ou

11、r common humanity. one of the cruelest ironies about climate change is that the ones who will be hurt the most are the most innocent: the worlds poorest and those yet to be born.the coda to this last movement is borrowed from two humanists.the first quote is from martin luther king. he spoke on endi

12、ng the war in vietnam in 1967, but his message seems so fitting for todays climate crisis.“this call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond ones tribe, race, class, and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind. this oft misunder

13、stood, this oft misinterpreted concept, so readily dismissed by the nietzsches of the world as a weak and cowardly force, has now become an absolute necessity for the survival of man we are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. we are confronted with the fierce urgency of now.

14、 in this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late.”the final message is from william faulkner. on december 10th, 1950, his nobel prize banquet speech was about the role of humanists in a world facing potential nuclear holocaust.“i believe that man will not mer

15、ely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poets, the writers, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to help man endure by

16、lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.”graduates, you have an extraordinary role to play in our future. as you pursue your private passions, i hope you will also develop a passion an

17、d a voice to help the world in ways both large and small. nothing will give you greater satisfaction.please accept my warmest congratulations. may you prosper, may you help preserve and save our planet for your children, and all future children of the world.尊敬的faust校长、哈佛集团的各位成员、监管理事会的各位理事长、各位老师、各位家长

18、、各位朋友，以及最重要的各位毕业生同学，感谢你们，让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。我不太肯定，自己够得上的哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人的殊荣。去年登上这个讲台的是英国小说家j.k.罗琳，她最早是个古典文学的学生。前年站在这里的事比尔·盖茨先生，他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑天才。今年很遗憾，你们的演讲人是我，我不是很有钱，但至少我是一个书呆子。毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构，我的演讲也不例外。刚才是第一乐章轻快的闲谈。接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。这样的忠告很少有价值，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。但是，就像王尔德说的：“对于忠告，你听能做的，就是把它送给别人，因为它对

19、你没有任何用处。”所以，下面是我的忠告。第一，取得成就时，不要忘记前人。要感谢你的父母和朋友，要感谢那些启发过你的教授，尤其是上不好课的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。自学能力是优秀的文科教育中必不可少的，将成为你成功的关键。你还要去拥抱你的同学，感谢他们同你进行过的彻夜长谈，这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。你还要感谢哈佛大学。不过即使你忘了，校友会也会来提醒你。第二，在你们未来的人生中，做一个慷慨大方的人。在任何谈判中，都把最后一点点利益留给对方，不要把桌上的钱都拿走。在合作中，成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。第三个忠告是，当你开始生活的新阶段中，请跟随你的爱好。如果没有爱好就去找，找不到就不罢休。生命太短暂，所以不能空手走过，你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。我还有最后一个忠告，兴趣爱好固然重要，但你不应该只考虑它。当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时，你需要为做过的事感到自豪。物质生活和你实现的占有欲，都不会产生自豪。只有那些受你影响、被你改变过的人和事，才会让你产生自豪。最后，你们是人道主义者，我要求你们为
