【正文】 an event where we were introducing version 13 of some piece of software, and we had people jumping and shouting with love getting people excited about software – but why can’t we generate even more excitement forsaving lives?You can’t get people excited unless you can help them see and feel the how you do that – is a plex , I’m , inequity has been with us forever, but the new tools we have to cut through plexity have not been with us are new – they can help us make the most of our caring –and that’s why thefuture can be different from the defining and ongoing innovations of this age – biotechnology, the puter, the Internet – give us a chance we’ve never had before to end extreme poverty and end death from preventable years ago, George Marshall came to this mencement and announced a plan to assist the nations of postwar said: ―I think one difficulty is that the problem is one of such enormous plexity that the very mass of facts presented to the public by press and radio make it exceedingly difficult for the man in the street to reach a clear appraisement of the is virtually impossible at this distance to grasp at all the realsignificance of the situation.‖ Thirty years after Marshall made his address, as my class graduated without me, technology was emerging that would make the world smaller, more open, more visible, less emergence of lowcost personal puters gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your also dramatically increases the number of brilliant minds we can have working together on the same problem – and that scales up the rate of innovation to a staggering the same time, for every person in the world who has access to this technology, five people don’ means many creative minds are left out of this discussionsmart people with practical intelligence and relevant experience who don’t have the technology to hone their talents or contributetheir ideas to the need as many people as possible to have access to this technology, because these advances are triggering a revolution in what human beings can do for one are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, corporations, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches, and measure the impact of their efforts to address the hunger, poverty, and desperation George Marshallspoke of 60 years of the Harvard Family: Here in the Yard is one of the great collections of intellectual talent in the for?There is no question that the faculty, the alumni, the students, and the benefactors of Harvard have used their power to improve the lives of people here and around the can we do more? Can Harvard dedicate its intellect to improving the lives of people who will never even hear its name? Let me make a request of the deans and the professors – the intellectual leaders here at Harvard: As you hire new faculty, award tenure, review curriculum, and determine degree requirements, please ask yourselves:Should our best minds be dedicated to solving our biggest problems?Should Harvard encourage its faculty to take on the world’s worst inequities? Should Harvard students learn about the depth of global poverty … the prevalence of world hunger … the scarcity of clean water…the girls kept out of school … the children who die from diseases we can cure?Should the world’s most privileged people learn about the lives of theworld’s least privileged? These are not rhetorical questions – you will answer with your mother, who was filled with pride the day I was admitted here –never stopped pressing me to do more for few days before my wedding, she hosted a bridal event, at which she read aloud a letter about marriage that she had written to mother was very ill with cancer at the time, but she saw one more opportunity to deliver her message, and at the close of the letter she said: ―From those to whom much is given, much is expected.‖ When you consider what those of us here in this Yard have been given –in talent, privilege, and opportunity – there is almost no limit to what the world hasa right to expect from line with the promise of this age, I want to exhort each of the graduates here to take on an issue – a plex problem, a deep inequity, and bee a specialist on you make it the focus of your career, that would be you don’t have to do that to make an a few hours every week, you can use the growing power of the Internet to get informed, find others with the same interests, see the barriers, and find ways to cutthrough ’t let plexity stop on the big will be one of the great experiences of your graduates are ing of age in an amazing you leave Harvard, you have technology that members of my class never have awareness of global inequity, which we did not with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little have more than we had。you must start sooner, and carry on what you know, how could you not?And I hope you will e back here to Harvard 30 years from now and reflect on what you have done with your talent and your hope you will judge yourselves not on your professional acplishments alone, but also on how well you have addressed the world’s deepest inequities … on how well you treated people a world away who have nothing in mon with you buttheir ，我一直在等待著說這樣一句話，―父親，我一直對您說我將拿到自己的學位。‖。我要感謝哈佛及時地授予我學位。我明年要換工作(注：指全力投入比爾及梅琳達基金會的慈善工作)，有了學位我的簡歷看起來會更好一些。祝賀今天的哈佛畢業(yè)生都直接獲得了學位。哈佛校報稱我為―哈佛歷史上最成功的輟學生‖，這讓我感到非常高興。當我面對同一屆畢業(yè)生時，我可以對他們說，―我是失敗者中最為成功的?！娝苤?，當初史蒂夫鮑爾默(Steve Ballmer)從哈佛商學院退學，我是始作俑者。我并不是一個好榜樣，這也是我受邀在你們的畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表演講的原因。如果你們都像我一樣輟學，那今天就沒有人會坐在這里。對我來說，在哈佛的經歷是一段難忘的體驗。校園生活總是讓人留戀，我曾經上了很多根本沒有注冊的課。當然，宿舍的生活并不太美好。當時我住在拉德克里夫學院，同一宿舍的很多人經常討論問題到深夜，因為他們都知道我并不擔心早上起不來床。正是在這樣的環(huán)境下，我成長為反社會集團的領導者。拉德克里夫是一個適合生活的地方。那時候這里有很多女孩子，而且大多數(shù)男生都屬于較為死板的類型，
