What is your dharma? What is your purpose? For me that discovery came in 1994 when I interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in raised a thousand dollars all by herself and I thought, well if that little 9yearold girl with a bucket and big heart could do that, I wonder what I could do? So I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month, just from pennies and nickels and dimes, we raised more than three million dollarsthat we used to send one student from every state in the United States to was the beginning of the Angel 。This is what I want to doesn’t matter how far you might some point you are bound to stumble because if you’re constantly doing what we do, raising the you’re constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the Myth of Icarus predicts that you will at some point when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as is just life trying to move us in another when you’re down there in the hole, it looks like this past year I had to spoon feed those words to when you’re down in the hole, when that moment es, it’s really okay to feel bad for a little yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here’s the key, learn from every mistake becauseevery experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you then figure out what is the next right the key to life is to develop an internal moral, emotional that can tell you which way to now and forever more when you Google yourself your search results will read “Harvard, 2013″.And in a very petitive world that really is a calling card because I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when I see “Harvard” I sit up a little straighter and say, “Where is he or she? Bring them in.” It’s an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, , scientist, physicist, winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes or late night talk show the challenge of life I have found is to build a r233。And it was all because I wanted to do it by the time I got to speak to you all so thank you so don’t know what motivation you were for me, thank ’m even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned even as graduates of Harvard unless you studied the ancient Greek hero with Professor Nagy as we were ing in this morning said, “Please , walk decisively.”這一切都是因?yàn)槲蚁朐趤砉鹬鞍咽虑樽龊?,所以非常感謝你們!你們不知道你們給了我多大的動(dòng)力,謝謝!我甚至能更驕傲地來和各位分享一個(gè)基本的真理。那個(gè)澡我洗了很長時(shí)間,在洗澡的時(shí)候我突然想到某首古老贊美詩中的一句話,你可能沒聽過“終于,清晨來臨...”,之后我就想,我的黎明也許要來了。就在那個(gè)時(shí)候,F(xiàn)aust校長打電話邀請(qǐng)我到哈佛做畢業(yè)演講。不僅僅是失敗,他們稱之為一個(gè)大寫的失敗。所以我離開了“奧普拉秀”,以我的名字命名推出了我自己的電視網(wǎng)絡(luò)“奧普拉我以前對(duì)比賽很緊張,后來我和自己競(jìng)爭(zhēng),每年設(shè)立一個(gè)更高的目標(biāo),一步一步地推到極限。懷特女士,所以我說:“我想成為一名新聞工作者,我想成為為人民帶來一些在某種程度上能改變?nèi)嗣裆詈透淖兪澜绲墓适隆D悄晡?6歲(注:奧普拉出生于1954年,今年59歲),在田納西州的納什維爾。但后來我意識(shí)到其實(shí)并不是一定要上哈佛才能有一個(gè)驅(qū)動(dòng)性強(qiáng)迫型的A型人格,當(dāng)然上了哈佛還是有幫助的。我的演講是為那些曾在人生中感到自卑或覺得自己沒有優(yōu)勢(shì),甚至覺得生活一團(tuán)糟的人,這就是我給哈佛帶來的演講。對(duì)我而言,榮幸根本無法表達(dá)我內(nèi)心深處對(duì)哈佛授予我榮譽(yù)學(xué)位的感激之情。所有2013屆的各位畢業(yè)生們!大家好!I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the mencement of your next say that I’m honored doesn’t even begin to quantify the depthof gratitude that really acpanies an honorary doctorate from too many little girls from rural Mississippi have made it all the way here to I can tell you that I consider today as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, I consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed one hope today is that I can be a source of some ’m going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the 。我希望今天我能為你們帶來一些啟發(fā)。說實(shí)話,在過去的幾個(gè)星期我感到很大的壓力,因?yàn)槲蚁胍銈兎窒硪恍┠銈?
