thatamp。39。s just the world we live in. But graduates, this is your world to change. As I said, I am a proud son of the South. Itamp。39。s my home, and I will always love it. But for the last 17 years Iamp。rsquo。ve built a life in Silicon Valley。 itamp。39。s a special place. The kind of place where thereamp。rsquo。s no problem that canamp。39。t be solved. No matter how difficult or plex, thatamp。39。s part of its essential quality. A very sincere sort of optimism. Back in the 90s, Apple ran an advertising campaign we called “。Think Different.”。 It was pretty simple. Every ad was a photograph of one of our heroes. People who had the audacity to challenge and change the way we all live. People like Gandhi and Jackie Robinson, Martha Graham and Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart and Miles Davis. These people still inspire us. They remind us to live by our deepest values and reach for our highest aspirations. They make us believe that anything is possible. A friend of mine at Apple likes to say the best way to solve a problem is to walk into a room full of Apple engineers and proclaim, “。this is impossible.”。 I can tell you, they will not accept that. And neither should you. So thatamp。39。s the one thing Iamp。rsquo。d like to bring to you all the way from Cupertino, California. The idea that great progress is possible, whatever line of work you choose. There will always be cynics and critics on the sidelines tearing people down, and just as harmful are those people with good intentions who make no contribution at all. In his letter from the Birmingham jail, Dr. King wrote that our society needed to repent, not merely for the hateful words of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. The sidelines are not where you want to live your life. The world needs you in the arena. There are problems that need to be solved. Injustices that need to be ended. People that are still being persecuted, diseases still in need of cure. No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy. Your passion. Your impatience with progress. Donamp。39。t shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you. Congratulations Class of 2020. Iamp。rsquo。d like to take one photo of you, because this is the best view in the world. And itamp。39。s a great one. Thank you very much
