【正文】 播放的節(jié)目會(huì)讓你產(chǎn)生這樣那樣的錯(cuò)覺(jué)，似乎你不需要付出多大的努力就能腰纏萬(wàn)貫、功成名就——你會(huì)認(rèn)為只要會(huì)唱rap、會(huì)打籃球或參加個(gè)什么真人秀節(jié)目就能坐享其成，但現(xiàn)實(shí)是，你幾乎沒(méi)有可能走上其中任何一條道路。但那沒(méi)有關(guān)系。喬丹上高中時(shí)被學(xué)校的籃球隊(duì)刷了下來(lái)，在他的職業(yè)生涯里，他輸了幾百場(chǎng)比賽、投失過(guò)幾千次射籃，知道他是怎么說(shuō)的嗎？“我一生不停地失敗、失敗再失敗，這就是我現(xiàn)在成功的原因。任何人都不是在第一次接觸一項(xiàng)體育運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)就成為校隊(duì)的代表，任何人都不是在第一次唱一首歌時(shí)就找準(zhǔn)每一個(gè)音，一切都需要熟能生巧。不要不敢向他人求助。你要記住，哪怕你表現(xiàn)不好、哪怕你失去信心、哪怕你覺(jué)得身邊的人都已經(jīng)放棄了你——永遠(yuǎn)不要自己放棄自己。因此，今天我想要問(wèn)你們，你們會(huì)做出什么樣的貢獻(xiàn)？你們將解決什么樣的難題？你們能發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的事物？二十、五十或百年之后，假如那時(shí)的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)也來(lái)做一次開(kāi)學(xué)演講的話，他會(huì)怎樣描述你們對(duì)這個(gè)國(guó)家所做的一切？你們的家長(zhǎng)、你們的老師和我，每一個(gè)人都在盡最大的努力，確保你們都能得到應(yīng)有的教育來(lái)回答這些問(wèn)題。請(qǐng)不要讓我們失望——不要讓你的家人、你的國(guó)家和你自己失望。奧巴馬總統(tǒng)講演的風(fēng)格很口語(yǔ)化,講道理深入淺出,我的孩子上周也進(jìn)入小學(xué)一年級(jí),激勵(lì)孩子,跟他(她)討論一下,讓孩子理解一下他(她)身上所承擔(dān)的對(duì)自己,躊躇再三,畢竟講教育的主題跟股市大家談的主旨有些不合,但我覺(jué)得從投資角度而言,教育上面花費(fèi)的時(shí)間、精力，金錢(qián)的投資,不管是投向自己,還是孩子,都是我們一生中所能做出的最好的,永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)后悔的投資選擇之一．畢竟，一個(gè)更好的未來(lái)，一個(gè)更強(qiáng)大的國(guó)家，一個(gè)更美，更和諧的世界愿景都要依靠我們的孩子們?nèi)?shí)現(xiàn)．弗吉尼亞州，阿林頓市，2009年9月8日嗨，大家好！你們今天過(guò)得怎么樣？我現(xiàn)在和弗吉尼亞州阿林頓郡韋克菲爾德高中的學(xué)生們?cè)谝黄?，全?guó)各地也有從幼兒園到高三的眾多學(xué)生們通過(guò)電視關(guān)注這里，我很高興你們能共同分享這一時(shí)刻。我可以理解這份心情。我要和你們談一談你們每個(gè)人的教育，以及在新的學(xué)年里，你們應(yīng)當(dāng)做些什么。我也很多次談到過(guò)政府有責(zé)任設(shè)定高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嚴(yán)要求、協(xié)助老師和校長(zhǎng)們的工作，改變?cè)谟行W(xué)校里學(xué)生得不到應(yīng)有的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)的現(xiàn)狀。首先，我想談?wù)勀銈儗?duì)于自己有什么責(zé)任。而且，我可以向你保證，不管你將來(lái)想要做什么，你都需要相應(yīng)的教育。你們需要在數(shù)理科學(xué)課程上學(xué)習(xí)的知識(shí)和技能，去治療癌癥、艾滋那樣的疾病，和解決我們面臨的能源問(wèn)題與環(huán)境問(wèn)題；你們需要在歷史社科課程上培養(yǎng)出的觀察力與判斷力，來(lái)減輕和消除無(wú)家可歸與貧困、犯罪問(wèn)題和各種歧視，讓這個(gè)國(guó)家變得更加公平和自由；你們需要在各類(lèi)課程中逐漸累積和發(fā)展出來(lái)的創(chuàng)新意識(shí)和思維，去創(chuàng)業(yè)和建立新的公司與企業(yè)，來(lái)制造就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)和推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長(zhǎng)。我知道你們中的許多人在生活中面臨著各種各樣的問(wèn)題，很難把精力集中在專(zhuān)心讀書(shū)之上。但我很幸運(yùn)。但歸根結(jié)底，你的生活狀況——你的長(zhǎng)相、出身、經(jīng)濟(jì)條件、家庭氛圍——都不是疏忽學(xué)業(yè)和態(tài)度惡劣的借口，這些不是你去跟老師頂嘴、逃課、或是輟學(xué)的借口，這些不是你不好好讀書(shū)的借口。例如德克薩斯州羅馬市的賈斯敏?佩雷茲（Jazmin Perez）。又比如在我的家鄉(xiāng)，伊利諾斯州芝加哥市，身為孤兒的香特爾?史蒂夫（Shantell Steve）換過(guò)多次收養(yǎng)家庭，從小在治安很差的地區(qū)長(zhǎng)大，但她努力爭(zhēng)取到了在當(dāng)?shù)乇＝≌竟ぷ鞯臋C(jī)會(huì)、發(fā)起了一個(gè)讓青少年遠(yuǎn)離犯罪團(tuán)伙的項(xiàng)目，很快，她也將以優(yōu)異的成績(jī)從中學(xué)畢業(yè)，去大學(xué)深造。因此，在今天，我號(hào)召你們每一個(gè)人都為自己的教育定下一個(gè)目標(biāo)——并在之后，盡自己的一切努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它。因?yàn)?，成功是件難事。因?yàn)樵谶@個(gè)世界上，最最成功的人們往往也經(jīng)歷過(guò)最多的失敗。沒(méi)有哪一個(gè)人一生出來(lái)就擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的，只有努力才能培養(yǎng)出技能。不要害怕提問(wèn)。所以，有不懂時(shí)，就向大人們求助吧——找個(gè)你信得過(guò)的對(duì)象，例如父母、長(zhǎng)輩、老師、教練或輔導(dǎo)員——讓他們幫助你向目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。250年前，有一群和你們一樣的學(xué)生，他們之后奮起努力、用一場(chǎng)革命最終造就了這個(gè)國(guó)家；75年前，有一群和你們一樣的學(xué)生，他們之后戰(zhàn)勝了大蕭條、贏得了二戰(zhàn)；就在20年前，和你們一樣的學(xué)生們，他們后來(lái)創(chuàng)立了Google、Twitter和Facebook，改變了我們?nèi)伺c人之間溝通的方式。因此我要求你們?cè)诮衲昴軌蛘J(rèn)真起來(lái)，我要求你們盡心地去做自己著手的每一件事，我要求你們每一個(gè)人都有所成就。本文來(lái)自學(xué)習(xí)網(wǎng)(
