I have a question for you. ‘Do you know how to breathe?’ Okay, I know what you are thinking now, “Girl, are you kidding me? Everybody knows how to breathe.” Actually, if I were you sitting down in there one year ago, I would think, “How did she make it to the final?”
Alright, seriously speaking, what I am talking about is “the art of breathing”, and it’s about breathing in a Yoga way: peacefully and always under control. What it reveals is the real essence of perseverance, “In order to achieve, sometimes, you need to wait.” And when it comes to things you really want in life, it is as hard as it could possibly be.
For me, singing is a life thing. When I am singing on the stage, I feel whole-heartedly involved, and the self-fulfillment it renders is inexplicably thrilling. But with all the realistic problems I need to face in life, all those I want seem too far to be true– so far that I am terrified that I will never ever be able to get there and that gradually I will be carried away by the currents and torrents of life. I’ve been drowned into this ambivalence for so long. Now, with a refined perspective towards self-realization, I am waiting, in a graceful posture, and knowing that I am going to get there. And on this, I should say, I owe Yoga a thank-you.
I still remember, about one year ago, I attended a Yoga course for the very first time. And to tell you the truth, I went there for a nice figure. However, after practicing for some time, I discovered that there was an ineffable inner-strength burgeoning sneakily in me while I totally focused. In order not to let go this significant power, I started to picture all I wanted in my mind while I was fully concentrating, for I believe the wings of imagination could make things possible. I learned to breathe with my dreams, shaping the eagerness into this elegant gesture of persisting.
And now, if you ask me what exactly is “the art of breathing”, I would say it is indeed “the art of living”. It combines the search of balance, the grace of patience, and the awareness of appreciation.
So even though feelings are tied up with life routines, I could still hold onto that free EGO which I have always adored: the girl who is singing under the spotlight, with all her heart and soul; the girl who is persevering with all she believes in and always feels grateful for what has been bestowed on her.
That girl is now standing right here in front of you, hoping that you are all as lucky as she is, living with dreams and love. No matter how tough things get, I tell myself, I tell myself that, every single thing I am doing now is every step closer to that very moment of my trajectory, just like every Yoga breath to every blossom moment of my life.
Sports are more than competitions. To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way.
I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.
“Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!”
Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.
Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women’s 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.
My desk-mate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three items already.” Other athletic girls of the class said the same.
I was utterly dumbfounded. 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I’d ever have!
“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet,” they all said this to me, including my teacher.
My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.
Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. When the fear of being laughed at struck me, I saw others running right beside me. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.
One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.
With the shot of the starting gun, I dashed out and ran as fast as I could, as if it were a 200-meter race. Soon I was out of breath and slowed down. Other runners passed me one by one, and gradually I had no idea how many of them were still behind me. My legs were getting heavier and heavier, and I might fall down at any moment. However, I suddenly heard my classmates chanting my name. My desk-mate even ran along the tracks beside me and cheered for me at the same time, just like the month-long training we did together.
As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. Immediately, my classmates held my arms and urged me to walk on my feet and not to sit down. I was surrounded, with all kinds of drinks handed to me. I felt a kind of warmth I had never felt before. Even though I was almost the last to finish the race, I was full of confidence that I would improve in the future.
That sports meet was an unforgettable experience. The memory of my classmates cheering for me, holding my arms and handing me drinks stays fresh on my mind. Sports are no longer about winning or losing. They give me a lot of confidence, both confidence in my fellow students and confidence in my own potential. I am no longer lonely, no longer afraid. Sports have brought me close to my classmates and helped us grow together.
Now, I participate in the sports meet every year. Even if I am not competing, I would help my classmates with their practice, just like the way my desk-mate and others ran with me.
How well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? In our busy day to day existence, we don’t often stop to ask ourselves this question. At least I don’t. And it wasn’t until I joined a competitive sporting event that I learned a most important lesson – we must place our mind in harmony with the natural order of things to be successful.
Let me tell you what happened.
I decided to take part in an International Marathon in my hometown last year. Being an ambitious person, I hoped to finish it within 5 hours, accompanied by my friend with whom I had trained.
The big day finally arrived. "Ready...set...bang" And we were off.
At first, we kept a rapid pace and ran nonstop. At this pace, we finished the first 20 kilometers in 2 hours and I thought running a marathon was a piece of cake. Then my running mate began to slow down. I urged him to keep running at the same pace but he said no, he wanted to conserve his energy. I felt I had partnered with the wrong person, therefore, I sprinted on and left him behind in the dust.
A few kilometers later, I began to understand his strategy as my pace slowed to a jog then a walk. After that I was incapable of moving another step. I was humiliated as more and more people ran passed me. More than once I thought "Maybe I should quit." I started to doubt my ability to finish this race.
At this moment, my running mate caught up with me and slapped me on the back. “Follow me,” he shouted. He had balanced his marathon pace and was encouraged me to do the same. For the rest of this grueling contest, we walked, jogged, ran a few miles, and walked again. Slowly, painfully but hopefully this time, we established the most suitable pace within the natural flow of our physical capabilities.
Eventually we accomplished our first Marathon of 42 kilometers in 4 and half hours. I asked myself, what did this marathon mean to me? My Marathon experience became an influential metaphor for my life about how we must learn to pace ourselves in everything, by being in tune with the rhythm of life.
Like the tide that ebbs and flows, we must listen to advice but make our own decisions. Like the show at dawn and dusk, we must learn to balance pride and modesty. And from the way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strong and when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. It is the interaction of these complementary extremes that produces harmony, as Laozi said, extremes meet. Since the marathon, this notion of two opposite forces working together has been my running partner, so to speak. Yin and yang exist everywhere, constantly interacting, and never existing in an absolute condition.
Ladies and Gentlemen, life is like running a marathon, let us discover, define and develop a natural rhythm of life, in order to achieve both harmony and success.
Thank you for listening.
Good morning/afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is: faith does make a difference to our life.
The recent earthquake in Japan has triggered a series of unexpected crises and even faith crisis among us. Are the increasing natural disasters echoing the 20xx prediction by Maya? Is our future really so vulnerable and tentative? I am trying to probe the answer.
Last November, as a volunteer of the Global Sustainable Leaders Forum, I first came across the concept of social entrepreneurship. In the inspiring speeches, I saw the determination and faith of converting ideal into practice. I couldn’t help asking myself: what should I live for?
The great thinker Russell once put in his essay: Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
By launching donation campaigns and bearing social responsibility, Bill Gates reshaped the stereotyped faith of businessmen.
Then, how can I make a difference? A talk with my father gave me some inspiration.
My father is a superfan of traditional Chinese calligraphy. When I was a kid, I had the faintest idea why I should practise routinely this form of art. It was terribly boring. But Dad said seriously: As a Chinese, we need to pass down and promote our rich culture. It is our responsibility.
Yang Lan, a well-known TV host once said: As a media worker, I want to track down the passage of time and history by conducting interviews. For me, the responsibility outweighs the occupation itself.
Far back to Confucius, who was once obscure and humble, undertook the seemingly hopeless task of building a harmonious society. But with his strong faith, hemade a change by spreading the seeds of wisdom.
The story about three craftsmen further illustrates the power of faith. When asked about their work, one said: Im piling up the bricks. Another replied: Im building the wall. The third responded: Im designing a home for people. These three replies mirrored distinct insights toward work: Task, job, and undertaking.
In my university, students majoring in National Defence choose to devote their golden years to safeguarding our mother land. They have interpreted faith with their own dynamic youth.
My friends, musicians can not simply provide us with lyrical notes, but create melody to sooth our soul; Scientists can not merely invent machines, but utilize their wisdom to reshape our lifestyle; teachers can not just impart knowledge, but usher us to become a worthy person!
So, my dear friends, life without faith is just like music without melody, and world without color. We are who we choose to be. It is faith that’ll remove our fear about future and stretch the radius of our life. Let faith light up all our young dreams.
Thank you!
Imagine a car without a steering wheel. Tough to imagine, right? Well, actually that’s the image you see if a person has no faith. Faith helps to guide us in our lives, encourage us to persist, and give directions when we are lost.
In this peaceful era, our life paths seem to be already well-planned and determined. What we have to do is to follow. Yes, we may face different sorts of challenges, but at least they are less harsh when compared to those in the past. We do not need to worry about starving to death, or how to earn enough money to buy food for our siblings and sustain our lives.
It is like driving from a muddy road into a highway. In the muddy road, path, you would say, as it is formed only by crossing on it many times, flattening the ground to form a smoother area so we can pass. The road is so bumpy and rough, with holes here and there and rocks lying all over. When we drive along this road, we have to be very careful, having a firm grip on the steering wheel, ready for a sudden turn or a large boulder that may appear any second. However, when we drive on a highway, everything becomes different. The road is smooth, straight, and visible. Since there is no unseen obstacle, we may lower our guard, relax a bit, and loosen our grip on the steering wheel. One may even think, if we only have to drive on a smooth straight road like this highway, why would we need a steering wheel?
Nevertheless, one cannot foresee the future. Accidents do happen. For example, a car may suddenly appear in front of you. At such times, if you did not have the steering wheel, how could you make a sudden turn? Just as no one could foresee the Sichuan Earthquake nor the Japan Tsunami. If the one being trapped under the debris did not have faith, he/she would not have survived until being rescued. If we did not have faith, we could not recover from our sadness and rebuild our home.
Faith is unique, just as happiness is. We feel happy for different reasons, we believe for different things. How can we know what we believe in? Recall the last time you are discouraged, and you felt you had lost all hopes in your life. What pulled you back into the world? What pushed you to stand up and continue to strive again? That is your faith, your belief. Faith is what makes you feel you can when others say you can’t.
Faith is important…, faith is vital…, faith is necessary for us to live our lives. If we do not have faith, we are like a car without a steeling wheel. We can only afford to move along a straight and smooth path, and cannot meet any challenge in our lives. One must understand that no matter how smooth the road is, it is impossible for a car to go without a steering wheel. Or, put it in another way, have you ever seen a car without a steering wheel on the road? So, act now, my friends, find out what you believe in, find out your anchor in your life, hold on to your steeling wheel of your car, drive on, and reach your destination. Thank you very much.

My Dream
When I was just a little baby,I have already had a dream,and it is to be a teacher.
Every day,when I see the teacher can make every children be quiet,I am very envy
,I really want to be a teacher!I think it on all day!I think it at breakfast,at lunch,and the dinner,on the day to the night.I think it all the ’s the biggest dream for me!
Now,I become a primary y day,I can see the teacher teaches a lot of knowledge to us.I think:the teacher learns about a lot of knowledge,how smart they are!So,this dream is more intense.
Now,I’m a student by Grade six,sometimes I need to help the younger student.I become a "little teacher" dream finally achieve! I know it is not easy to be a must be patient,seriously to talk to your student and have enough previews. But I believe,on fifteen or twenty years ago,I will be a good teacher!
If kindness is added to a strange you will have a friend; but if hostility is added, you will have an enemy. If love is added to a pile of red bricks you will have a home, but if hatred is add to those bricks , you will have an concentration camp.
So my dear friends, never complain that life is boring and the world is disappointing. If don‘t like the taste of your life, change the ingredients.
Three year ago, I weighed more than 100 hundred kilograms which caused significant embarrassment and frustration in my life. Like always failing my P.E examinations, like always being laughed at by girls, like being terrified to speak in public. It was my grandmother‘s encouragement that revived from my passive attitude to become confident in myself. She said ― My dear, if you can‘t change you figure, why not treat it as your own style. So I began to cautiously employ the new way of thinking. By choosing to change my outlook on life, I developed the confidence to make a difference and finally I found a totally new world.
So my dear friend, if faith, hope, love, endurance are added to your life, you will find the confidence to conquer your limitation and embrace new challenges. And hopefully with my speech included, you will have a fantastic speech contest.
70 days ago, on Oct, 5th, 2011,That is, Steve Jobs, died. For me, even for everyone all around the world, it was a day of grief, it was a day of sorrow, and it was a day of sadness. Over a million people from all over the world shared their memories, thoughts, and feelings about Steve. One thing they all have in common is how they’ve been touched by his passion and creativity.
I didn’t know Steve Jobs until iPhone was invented. It looks like a miracle to me. From that time I began to admire his inovation and his personality. Jobs founded Apple Computer in 1976. Apples iPhone, iPad, iPod and other well-known electronic products became more and more popular in the world. These products have deeply changed modern communication, entertainment and even the way of life.
He is a genius who can change the world .He said:” Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower", "Do what you love”. These words influenced me deeply.
Whenever I make up my mind to make a big decision, his words always help me. Id like to say“ thanks” him, thank him for his contribution to the world , thank him for his spirit.
Although the time will never stop on that day. His great spirit will be kept in our heart forever. Steve Jobs,we will never forget you!
Every one has his own I was a little kid,my dream was even to have a candy shop of my own .But now,when I am 16 years old,standing here,my dreams have already changed a lot.

When I was 10 years old,I became a shot-put training was really hard,I couldnt bear the heavy shot in my hands .But I always believe that god only help those who help ng those hard days,I find I was growing more quickly than others of the same be an athlete is my most correct,I quit my team after entering high school because of a silly ecuse.I really didnt want to stop my sports career anyway.
Today I say to you my friends that even though I must face the difficulties of yesterday,today and tomorrow .I still have a dream .It is a dream deeply rooted in my soul.
I have a dream that one day,I can run,jump and pitch just like I used to be.

In china,people believe that,at the beginning,the tiger and the cat were friends,and the cat was much smarter than the tiger cat learned the physical skills quickly,and the tiger was always ually,the tiger had to learn from the cat,and the cat was patient to teach the after day,month after month,finally,the tiger could also run,jump,roll,grasp,tear,and strike as well as the cat.
One summer afternoon,the cat was taking a nap as the tiger sitting ing at the cat,the tiger suddenly thought,why should he keep befriending with such a small animal since he had already learnt all the skills from the cat?The evil tiger decided to kill the sleeping cat as a before dinner tiger stood up and approached the cat as this moment,the cat woke ing up her eyes,the smart cat immediately realized what the tiger was trying to do and swiftly jumped onto a nearby tall tree and climbed to the top branch.
The tiger thought he had already learned every skill from the cat he never knew that the cat had hidden the tree climbing from him.
“I kept the last technique of the tree climbing from you just because I suspected you might be can ungrateful friend.” The cat loudly told the tiger who watched under the tree helplessly.
Friends, do you know what is meant by life? And what is meant by the "struggle of the youth"?
We know, there are many examples about the struggle of the youth appearing in the films we see, in the songs we listen, and in the friends we meet.
It is most startling to hear a watch or clock clicking away the seconds, each click indicating the shortening of ones life by a little bit.
Likewise, with each page torn off the wall calendar, ones life is shortened by another day.
Time, therefore, is life.
Nevertheless, few people treasure their times as much as their life.
Time must not be wasted if you want to do your bit in your remaining years or acquire some useful knowledge to improve yourself, so that your life may turn out to be significant and fruitful.
So, chose to work hard in your youth.
Friends, speak up your mind, and do what you want to do!
In short, hurry up to give full play to the life bestowed on you by Nature, and hold aloft a torch to offer a little light to the world, for, otherwise, your young limbs will begin to rot, your brilliant brain will be dulled and your enthusiasm will cool off. It will be too late to mend.
Friends, bring your youthful vitality and life into full play right now and here!
Everyone has dreams. But what is a dream? In the eyes of the little match girl, the dream is the delicious roast duck, which is the warm embrace of grandma. In the eyes of deng yaping, the dream is to be brave, to be courageous, and to insist on the belief that never to surrender.
From an early age, I love dreams. I want to take a bath for nature, let the air do not pollute, the grass, the small tree straightened up; I want to be sun wukong, with a unique 72 changes. I wanted to buy all the books in the bookstore, immerse myself in the sea of books, and suck up their food for food; I want to take the time machine of doraemon, to tell the old children about my dream...
Now, I grew up, put on the bright red scarf, see the five-star red flag in the campus fluttering. Ah! I found the wings of my dreams! A glorious flag-bearer, raising the schools five-star red flag, and carrying the students beautiful dreams.
I will show you something that we may ignore,its our parent-child relationship,sometimes,we may always think its too boring to answer their questions when they ask the trifles which they ask us about our work or job everyday when we come off duty,we always said," I m too tired,and dont ask me so much problems,leave me alone,we always did like that,and who can tell me that he or she didnt have done like that,I will appreciate of him or her very much,yes,i think we should think about much more for ur parents,they have done too much for us.
since we were born,you can teke a count,every time when you get into trouble,who indeed do help you, and no matter which kind of inconvenience,our parents always support us ,the study,the life trifles,yeah,but just take a look at what we have done for our parents,when they are lonely,when they think we should share our happiness and sadness with them,but we only just gave them some stinky money,yes,when we get older,they become more weaker,dont you think its your respnsibility to look after them now,friends,just remeber this word.
we should share our emotion with them instead of giving them a mount of money,we should have done more for them.thats all thank you.
good morning,every girls!it`s my honour to stand here talking something about good manners.
manners exist in many aspects.having good manners will help you make good impression upon other people.
there are different manners such as communicating manners in our daily life ,personal apperance manners,religion manners,service manners of different jobs and so on ,among which the most important one is the communicating manners in our daily life.
when meeting people,westerners usually shake hands.americans and northwestern europeans expect a strong handshake,and some shake hands for several seconds.if your hand is wet or very weak,that is a bad sign.people in east europe and some arab coutries embrace and kiss each other,while the people in thailand put their hands together before their nose and lower their head and eyes.
there also are other manners used in our daily life .when we are at table,and when we are on the phone,having good manners will make everything better.
hving good manners means knowing and doing.no matter how many manners there are,what we should do is to gain the knowledge of it as much as we can ,and try to think for others,only in this way can the world become more harmonious!
The great writer gorky once said: "books are the ladder of human progress." "He spoke such a truth: actually the human to hard climbing, climbing a ladder of books. The books are made of ladder above, is a resplendent and magnificent palace of knowledge, therefore, we must try to climb, to learn from.
Human knowledge to create wealth, as the vast ocean, extensive and profound. People often think of elementary school, middle school and university studies described as the "everybody" on climbing, in the "university" swim in. So, we should read more books and books to purify the mind, in the book knowledge to enrich themselves.
In our life, if always too passively reading, tend to be less than the pleasure of reading. With a scholarly paper, open a little tenderness, and then quietly looked at the text as time moves slip from your eyes... At this time, you will feel that reading is a matter of how to make people happy!
Reading is a kind of mood, the elegant comfortable is the best psychological reagent. Go to the reading, you will have more found.

Hello everyone! My name is Wei Xiuying. I’m a student from Zhen’an Middle School. I’m from Class 3 Grade 8. I’m shy but there is always a smile on my face. At school, I have some good habits. For example, I read books every day, I often play sports. My favorite sport is ping-pong. Because I really like Ding Ning. She can play it very well. I often play it with my classmates at school in the afternoon. It is interesting.
Our school is very nice. First, there is a beautiful garden in our school. It has a lot of flowers and trees. The flowers are colorful and smell good. The trees are green and you can have a rest under the tree. Second, there is a big playground in our school too. We can play basketball, play badminton, run and so on. It is healthy for our mind and body to play sports. Third, there is also a dining hall in our school. We can have meals there and the food tastes delicious. The teachers are very friendly to us. They usually help with our study. Although they sometimes are strict, they just want us to get good grades. I love my classmates too. Because they can make me laugh and I can learn a lot from them. They often bring out the best in me.
In a word, I love my school!

If I could teach a class in how to live your best life, it would include some gems Ive gotten from world leaders. But also some I have not. Yes, it does pay to floss. Yes, you need to look people in the eye when you speak to them. You need to keep your commitments, you need to make your bed every day because when you do, it makes your whole house look better. And you need to leave your cell phone away at the dinner table.
I put so many of those in a book that I did for graduates like you. I wrote The Path Made Clear with gems of wisdom from thought leaders. Since I know you just wanna get that diploma, I’m gonna save all my wisdom for my book…You get a book and you get a book and you get a book! Everybody gets a book! Congratulations class of 20xx!As the chairman said, I majored in electrical engineering. So I know what you’re all thinking – it’s a shame he was never able to put his degree to good use. I thought that was funnier than you did, thank you.
Let me start with the most important message that I can deliver today – congratulations to the distinguished graduates of the great Class of 20xx. You made it. All those long hours studying, and in the lab, the quizzes, the papers, and the swim tests, it was all for today – well, that and the brass rat.
internet civilizationgood afternoon, ladies and gentleman! first i want to say is that i’m very proud of to be invited to to present my topic here, which is “ internet civilization”re i begin my topic, please allow me to ask you a question: every time you click the mouse to surf the web, do you know what does it mean?on the net, you can make friends overseas and call them with ip phones; you can get information from all over the world; you can even give a hand to some people in troubles and get help when in ver, we have to admit that internet also leads to intimacy before acquaintance; it scatters secrets outwards, not inwards; and, most worrying of all, it is a vehicle for we should see, there exists good and evil, right and wrong on the web.
as netizens, we’d better grow to realize the importance of internet as the famous saying goes “long and steep is the path to virtue.” many people advocate that we should be sincere, honest and responsible in our society-the real world.
now, what i want to add is that we also should obey the primary moral principles in this virtual of my dear friends here, on the internet, which role did you play? which role are you playing? and which role will you play?
thank you very much!
Graduates, you’re probably asking yourself some big, important questions right now on this important day, like how am I going to make a living? Will I ever have a mattress as nice as the one I had in the Forty? Will I ever again experience the magic of free Uber rides?
And the biggest question of all, after Chancellor Wrighton retires, will he still wear double-breasted suits? I’m going to say yes to that one.
Today, you’ll have to say farewell to many of the things that served as your support system and that got you through these stressful times, like Ted Drewes, toasted ravs, John’s Donuts, gooey butter cake. Thank goodness, WashU has also one of the world’s best medical centers.
Now, before I go any further, let me take a moment to congratulate another group who is here today and does deserve a lot of credit, and I’m talking about your parents and your family. What about a nice round of applause for them?
They’re out there beaming, not even thinking about the cost of tuition, and I’m sure they are just thrilled that some of you will be moving back into their basements.
Wherever you’re headed in the days and months ahead, I want to leave you with some food for thought, so let me turn to the real message of my speech.
If you ask me what is the most precious I would say that it’s issomething once lost you could never have efore we should cherish itand spend it in meaningful ver many people do too many meaninglessthings to kill their time such as playing computer watching TV or you do these things the time has long been unwittingly flowed my opinionthe best way to make full use of time is planning your time rationally andsticking the plan firmly.
There was just so much to learn about when we were must learnhow to speak the language of our country. Counting and using numbers must important we must start to understand what is right anti what iswrong.
As young students we must keep learning many new things. At sehool we mustlearn languages history geography physics chemistry and mathematics and acquirethe knowledge and skills necessary to be a good worker.
Even when we reach oId age learning remains importanl to rcdpeoplewhose children are all grown up need to keep ing new things anddiscovering new hobbies give many senior citizens a new purpose to their livesand keep them active and happy.
Spending more time on something significant not only will make your lifefulfilling but also will give you a sense of ead killing yourtime with meaningless things would bring you depression even despair.
You have a world of opportunity in front of you, and it is for you to decide what to do with this platform that you’ve worked so hard to earn.
No matter what field you enter after graduation, you have the opportunity to use your gifts to make a difference in the world.
This can feel daunting, at the outset of your post-Stanford life. Some of you may know exactly what contribution you want to make in the world, while others may still be searching for your way to make an impact.
But whatever you do, whatever profession you pursue or journey you take – whether you become a teacher or a community leader, a lawyer or a physician, an engineer or an artist, or a scholar or a scientist, or a mother or father, a caregiver to the next generation – whatever you make of your life and the opportunities before you, I hope you will use your gifts to change the world for the better.
Having a platform also comes with a responsibility. It requires an ongoing process of self-examination and a continual return to your guiding values.
You may find, at times, that the path forward is unclear. Or you may realize, in hindsight, that you have made missteps along the way.
All of us make mistakes. I certainly do – just ask my wife and kids!
All of our lives require self-examination.
