at do you inherit and what do you pass on? The history of humankind is marked by great events but written by great like Yale’s record of achievement, perhaps by to you as individuals, what wisdom, if any, have I learnt? First, in fact, keep to be alive to the possibilities of the next experience, of thinking, doing and Buddha was asked, near the end of his life, to describe his secret, he answered bluntly: “I’m awake”.So be conventional wisdom, but be prepared to change as well as analyze。use you instinct alongside your too much and you will prepared to fail as well as to succeed, realist it is failure not success that defines spent years trying to be a politician failing at every attempt and nearly gave know you’re thinking: I should Paul McCartney reminded me that the first record pany the Beatles approached rejected them as a band noone would want to listen good to people on your way up because you never know if you will meet them again on your way ,然后又離開他們塑造的世界。因此:你們繼承什么,又將傳遞什么?人類歷史以大事件為標志,而大事件由偉人來譜寫。由你們這樣的人來譜寫。鑒于耶魯歷來人才輩出,人類歷史可能就是由你們來書寫。因此,從作為個體的你們,如果我學到了新的東西,那么這些新東西又是什么呢? 事實上,首先我學會了學無止境。時刻積極投入到可能出現(xiàn)的新經(jīng)歷、思考、行動和成長中。當佛祖生命快要終結(jié)時,有人問他成為圣人的秘訣,他坦誠相告:“常令省察,不令有失。”所以要保持清醒。了解傳統(tǒng)的智慧,但也要做好準備改變它。既要會分析又要會感知。直覺與理性并存。過于斤斤計較只會打錯算盤。既要做好準備迎接成功也要做好準備迎接失敗。要知道,是失敗不是成功塑造人的性格。多年來我嘗試成為一個政治家,卻總是失敗,幾近放棄。我知道你們怎么想的:我本來就應(yīng)該放棄。保羅麥卡特尼讓我想起,披頭士聯(lián)系的第一家唱片公司以他們的音樂沒有人聽為由將他們拒之門外。當你青云直上時,要友善待人,因為你不知道在你走下坡路時會不會遇見他們。
