【正文】 ，對(duì)那些處在困境中的家庭到底意味著什么。這個(gè)時(shí)代無(wú)時(shí)無(wú)刻不在涌現(xiàn)出新的革新——生物技術(shù)，計(jì)算機(jī)，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)——它們給了我們一個(gè)從未有過(guò)的機(jī)會(huì)，去終結(jié)那些極端的貧窮和非惡性疾病的死亡。低成本的個(gè)人電腦的出現(xiàn)，使得一個(gè)強(qiáng)大的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)有機(jī)會(huì)誕生，它為學(xué)習(xí)和交流提供了巨大的機(jī)會(huì)。網(wǎng)絡(luò)的神奇之處，不僅僅是它縮短了物理距離，使得天涯若比鄰。它還極大地增加了懷有共同想法的人們聚集在一起的機(jī)會(huì)，我們可以為了解決同一個(gè)問(wèn)題，一起共同工作。這就大大加快了革新的進(jìn)程，發(fā)展速度簡(jiǎn)直快得讓人震驚。與此同時(shí)，世界上有條件上網(wǎng)的人，只是全部人口的六分之一。這意味著，還有許多具有創(chuàng)造性的人們，沒(méi)有加入到我們的討論中來(lái)。那些有著實(shí)際的操作經(jīng)驗(yàn)和相關(guān)經(jīng)歷的聰明人，卻沒(méi)有技術(shù)來(lái)幫助他們，將他們的天賦或者想法與全世界分享。我們需要盡可能地讓更多的人有機(jī)會(huì)使用新技術(shù)，因?yàn)檫@些新技術(shù)正在引發(fā)一場(chǎng)革命，人類(lèi)將因此可以互相幫助。新技術(shù)正在創(chuàng)造一種可能，不僅是政府，還包括大學(xué)、公司、小機(jī)構(gòu)、甚至個(gè)人，能夠發(fā)現(xiàn)問(wèn)題所在、能夠找到解決辦法、能夠評(píng)估他們努力的效果，去改變那些馬歇爾六十年前就說(shuō)到過(guò)的問(wèn)題——饑餓、貧窮和絕望。哈佛是一個(gè)大家庭。這個(gè)院子里在場(chǎng)的人們，是全世界最有智力的人類(lèi)群體之一。我們可以做些什么毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，哈佛的老師、校友、學(xué)生和資助者，已經(jīng)用他們的能力改善了全世界各地人們的生活。但是，我們還能夠再做什么呢？有沒(méi)有可能，哈佛的人們可以將他們的智慧，用來(lái)幫助那些甚至從來(lái)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)到過(guò)“哈佛”這個(gè)名字的人？請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我向各位院長(zhǎng)和教授，提出一個(gè)請(qǐng)求——你們是哈佛的智力領(lǐng)袖，當(dāng)你們雇用新的老師、授予終身教職、評(píng)估課程、決定學(xué)位頒發(fā)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的時(shí)候，請(qǐng)問(wèn)你們自己如下的問(wèn)題：我們最優(yōu)秀的人才哈佛是否鼓勵(lì)她的老師去研究解決世界上最嚴(yán)重的不平等？哈佛的學(xué)生是否從全球那些極端的貧窮中學(xué)到了什么??世界性的饑荒??清潔的水資源的缺乏??無(wú)法上學(xué)的女童??死于非惡性疾病的兒童??哈佛的學(xué)生有沒(méi)有從中學(xué)到東西？那些世界上過(guò)著最優(yōu)越生活的人們，有沒(méi)有從那些最困難的人們身上學(xué)到東西？這些問(wèn)題并非語(yǔ)言上的修辭。你必須用自己的行動(dòng)來(lái)回答它們。想一想吧，我們?cè)谶@個(gè)院子里的這些人，被給予過(guò)什么——天賦、特權(quán)、機(jī)遇——那么可以這樣說(shuō)，全世界的人們幾乎有無(wú)限的權(quán)力，期待我們做出貢獻(xiàn)。同這個(gè)時(shí)代的期望一樣，我也要向今天各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)提出一個(gè)忠告：你們要選擇一個(gè)問(wèn)題，一個(gè)復(fù)雜的問(wèn)題，一個(gè)有關(guān)于人類(lèi)深刻的不平等的問(wèn)題，然后你們要變成這個(gè)問(wèn)題的專(zhuān)家。如果你們能夠使得這個(gè)問(wèn)題成為你們職業(yè)的核心，那么你們就會(huì)非常杰出。但是，你們不必一定要去做那些大事。每個(gè)星期只用幾個(gè)小時(shí)，你就可以通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)得到信息，找到志同道合的朋友，發(fā)現(xiàn)困難所在，找到解決它們的途徑。不要讓這個(gè)世界的復(fù)雜性阻礙你前進(jìn)。要成為一個(gè)行動(dòng)主義者。將解決人類(lèi)的不平等視為己任。它將成為你生命中最重要的經(jīng)歷之一。在座的各位畢業(yè)的同學(xué)，你們所處的時(shí)代是一個(gè)神奇的時(shí)代。當(dāng)你們離開(kāi)哈佛的時(shí)候，你們擁有的技術(shù)，是我們那一屆學(xué)生所沒(méi)有的。你們已經(jīng)了解到了世界上的不平等，我們那時(shí)還不知道這些。有了這樣的了解之后，要是你再棄那些你可以幫助的人們于不顧，就將受到良心的譴責(zé)，只需一點(diǎn)小小的努力，你就可以改變那些人們的生活。你們比我們擁有更大的能力；你們必須盡早開(kāi)始，盡可能長(zhǎng)時(shí)期堅(jiān)持下去。知道了你們所知道的一切，你們?cè)趺纯赡懿徊扇⌒袆?dòng)呢？我希望，30年后你們還會(huì)再回到哈佛，想起你們用自己的天賦和能力所做出的一切。我希望，在那個(gè)時(shí)候，你們用來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)自己的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，不僅僅是你們的專(zhuān)業(yè)成就，而包括你們?yōu)楦淖冞@個(gè)世界深刻的不平等所做出的努力，以及你們?nèi)绾紊拼切┻h(yuǎn)隔千山萬(wàn)水、與你們毫不涉及的人們，你們與他們唯一的共同點(diǎn)就是同為人類(lèi)。Good 。是否在致力于解決我們最大的問(wèn)題？第四篇：比爾蓋茨哈佛演講 全文比爾蓋茨哈佛演講 全文Remarks of Bill Gates Harvard Commencement June 7, 2007President Bok, former President Rudenstine, ining President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, parents, and especially, the graduates:I’ve been waiting more than 30 years to say this: ―Dad, I always told youI’d e back and get my degree.‖ I want to thank Harvard for this timely ’ll be changing my job next year … and it will be nice to finally have a college degree on my applaud the graduates today for taking a much more direct route to your my part, I’m just happy that the Crimson has called me ―Harvard’s most successful dropout.‖ I guess that makes me valedictorian of my own special class … I did the best of everyone who I also want to be recognized as the guy who got Steve Ballmer to drop out of business ’m a bad ’s why I was invited to speak at your I had spoken at your orientation, fewer of you might behere was just a phenomenal experience for life was used to sit in on lots of classes I hadn’t even signed up dorm life was lived up at Radcliffe, in Currier were always lots of people in my dorm room late at night discussing things, because everyone knew I didn’t worry about getting up in the ’s how I came to be the leader of the antisocial clung to each other as a way of validating our rejection of all those social was a great place to were more women up there, and most of the guys were sciencemath bination offered me the best odds, if you know what I is where I learned the sad lesson that improving your odds doesn’t guarantee of my biggest memories of Harvard came in January 1975, when I made a call from Currier House to a pany in Albuquerque that had begun making the world’s first personal offered to sell them worried that they would realize I was just a student in a dorm and hang up on they said: ―We’re not quite ready, e see usin a month,‖ which was a good thing, because we hadn’t written the software that moment, I worked day and night on this little extra credit project that marked the end of my college education and the beginning of a remarkable journeywith I remember above all about Harvard was being in the midst of so much energy and could be exhilarating, intimidating, sometimes even discouraging, but always was an amazing privilege – and though I left early, I was transformed by my years at Harvard, the friendships Imade, and the ideas I worked taking a serious look back … I do have one big left Harvard with no real awareness of the awful inequities in the world – the appalling disparities of health, and wealth, and opportunity that condemnmillions of people to lives of learned a lot here at Harvard about new ideas in economics and got great exposure to the advances being made in the humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries – but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce through democracy, strong public education, quality health care, or broad economic opportunity –reducing inequity is the highest human left campus knowing little about the millions of young people cheated out of educational opportunities here in this I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing took me decades to find graduates came to Harvard at a different know more about the world’s inequities than the classes that came your years here, I hope you’ve had a chance to think about how – in this age of accelerating technology – we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve , just for the sake of discussion, that you had a few hours a week and a few dollars a month to donate to a cause – and you wanted to spend that time and money where it would have the greatest impact in saving and improving would you spend it?For Melinda and for me, the challenge is the same: how can we do the most good for the greatest number with the resources we our discussions on this question, Melinda and I read an article about the millions of children who were dying every year in poor countries from diseases that we had long ago made harmless in this , malaria, pneumonia, hepatitis B, yellow disease I had never even heard of, rotavirus, was killing half a million kids each year – none of them inthe United were had just assumed that if millions of children were dying and they could be saved, the world would make i
