1、毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文（精选16篇） 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇1 But in 1968, with the Soviet invasion and crackdown, Klima’s ideas became dangerous. He could have fled, but he chose to return home and continue his work in defiance of the Communist regime. He organized an underground meeting of writers who

2、circulated manuscripts in secret. Over the course of 18 years, those writers produced three hundred different works of art. They were critics, of course: critics of tyranny, critics of violence. But they were creators, too, creators of plays, novels, and poetry. They imagined, and helped create, a n

3、ew and better world.What will you imagine? A better business, a smarter school, a stronger community? Whatever you are against, it is time to create something you are for.At Yale, you have learned to do both: to imagine and create. You have studied and explored new ideas; made art and music; excelle

4、d in athletics; launched companies; and served your neighbors and the world. You have created a vibrant, diverse, and exciting community.Take these experiences with you and draw on them when you need encouragement. Remember a class that surprised you; a conversation that inspired you; a professor wh

5、o believed in you. And take care to avoid what Toni Morrison calls second-rate goals and secondhand ideas.Our past is bleak. Our future dim, Morrison writes. But if we see the world as one long brutal game, then we bump into another mystery, the mystery of beauty, of light, of the canary that sings

6、on our skulls.Being for something is a search for those mysteries, for that light: it is an act of radical optimism, a belief that a more perfect world is within reach and that we can help build it.What are you for?You may well turn that question back to me. What are you for, Peter Salovey?I am for

7、the transformative power of a liberal education – one that asks you to think broadly, question everything, and embrace the joy of learning.I am for the American Dream in all its rich promise – the idea that opportunities are shared widely and that access to education is within reach for

8、the many, not the few. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇2 In September 1974, Kingman Brewster, then president of Yale, spoke to members of the Class of 1978, seated right where you are now. He told them, Many of us have just been on a ten-year trip of moral outrage: anti-Wallace, anti-War, and anti-Watergate. We have

9、 been so sure about what we were against that we have almost forgotten how difficult it is to know what we are for and how to achieve it.Does this sound familiar? Today, perhaps more than ever, it is easy to know what you’re against. And it’s far more difficult to say what you’re f

10、or.What we’re against is going to be different for each of us. Maybe you’re against border walls and I’m against guns; your neighbor is against trade wars and your cousin is against abortion. For some, capitalism is the problem, while others fear the specter of socialism. By this p

11、oint, I bet all of you are against sitting in old buildings with no air conditioning, listening to a long speech! So, I’ll get to the point…How many of you have ever seen a Marx Brothers movie? Right, pretty good. So, although I’m not mistaken for Groucho Marx as often since I sha

12、ved my moustache, I…I still do…do have a weakness for his humor.And one of Groucho’s best performances, of course, is when he plays a college president. (It is a funny role!) So, in the opening scene of the movie Horse Feathers, Groucho, the new president of Huxley College, is to

13、ld that the trustees have a few suggestions for him. Then he breaks into this song:I don’t know what they have to sayIt makes no difference anywayWhatever it is, I’m against itNo matter what it is or who commenced itI’m against itYour proposition may be goodBut let’s have one

14、 thing understood:Whatever it is, I’m against it. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇3 Make no mistake: There are plenty of reasons to be outraged. My generation, your generation – we face not only grave moral challenges but existential threats: rising ocean levels globally and rising inequality in America;

15、 violence around the world and in our own backyards; the fraying of the social fabric. The falcon cannot hear the falconer, and we wonder if the center can hold.I understand the impulse toward negativity. Like many of you, I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face, by the injustices tha

16、t call out for our condemnation. Yet it is precisely because our challenges are so great that outrage is not enough. Pointing out what is wrong is merely the beginning, not the end, of our work.The Czech author Ivan Klima wrote, To destroy is easier than to create, and that is why so many people are

17、 ready to demonstrate against what they reject. But what would they say if one asked them what they wanted instead?What would you say? What would I say? What are you for?Klima’s life story is one of both criticism and creation. Born in Prague in 1931, he was sent to a Nazi concentration camp a

18、s a child. He survived and became an outspoken voice for democracy in Czechoslovakia. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇4 Graduates of the Class of 20xx, family members, and friends:Good morning. It’s a privilege to be here with you today. Commencement is a time of beginnings and endings; of looking to the futur

19、e with hope while saying farewell with both joy and, perhaps, nostalgia. It is a jumble of emotions for all of us – and a field-day for a psychologist! Enjoy all those feelings: it’s hard to imagine you’ll have an experience quite like this again.So, there is a wonderful Yale tradi

20、tion that I would like to honor right now:So, may I ask all of the families and friends here who are today to rise and recognize the outstanding – and graduating – members of the Class of 20xx?And now, may I ask the Class of 20xx to consider all those who have supported your arrival at t

21、his milestone, and to please rise and recognize them?Thank you! 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇5 I encourage you to look up the scene on YouTube – but not right now – because it’s still a very funny piece. And it’s funny because it’s ridiculous, but also because it contains a kernel of

22、 truth. And the truth applies not only to college presidents, but to all of us.How many times have we decided we’re against an idea before we’ve even heard it? How guilty are we of deciding I’m against it without even knowing what it is?Many times, we know what we’re against

23、based on who is saying it. If an idea comes from a certain public figure, politician, or media outlet, we already know how we feel. Partly this is because our public discourse has become so predictable. We’ve lost the capacity for surprise, for revelation.Speaking of predictable, here is the m

24、oment where an ambassador of an older generation – that would be me – tells millennials – most of you – about the evils of social media! But hear me out…Obviously, social media has transformed our lives and our relationships. It obviously has many advantages, allowing

25、us to share news and information quickly with people around the world. But it also heightens our sense of outrage and speeds up arguments, depriving us of the time and space for careful reflection.Bombarded with notifications, pressured to respond before the media cycle turns over, we tap out our po

26、sition – our opposition – in seconds. It’s easy to be against something in fewer than 280 characters. It’s far more difficult to articulate what you are for – and to do it at warp speed. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇6 My father values talent. He recognizes real knowledge and skill wh

27、en he finds it. He is colorblind and gender neutral. He hires the best person for the job, period.Words and promises, no matter visionary they sound will only get you so far. In our business, you’re not a builder, unless you’ve got a building to show for it, or in my father’s case,

28、 city skylines. Most people strive their entire lives to achieve greatsuccess in a single industry.My father has succeeded in many on the highest level and on a global scale. One of the reasons he has thrived as an entrepreneur is because he listens to everyone. Billionaire executives don’t us

29、ually ask the people doing the work for their opinion of the work. My father is an exception. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇7 one day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of chile, in one of the most remote regions of the pacific ocean, 20 american sailors watched their ship flood with seawater. heyd been struck by

30、a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic hole in the ships hull. as their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the men huddled together inthree small whaleboats.these men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from the nearest scrap of land. in their small boats, they carried onl

31、y rudimentary navigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.these were the men of the whaleship essex, whose story would later inspire parts of moby dick.we know how fear feels, but im not sure we spend enough time thinking about what our fears mean.as we grow up, were often encourag

32、ed to think of fear as a weakness, just another childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇8 What I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure.At your age, in spite of a distinct lack of motivation at university, where I had spent far too long in

33、the coffee bar writing stories, and far too little time at lectures, I had a knack for passing examinations, and that, for years, had been the measure of success in my life and that of my peers.I am not dull enough to suppose that because you are young, gifted and well-educated, you have never known

34、 hardship or heartbreak. Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the Fates, and I do not for a moment suppose that everyone here has enjoyed an existence of unruffled privilege and contentment.However, the fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you

35、 are not very well-acquainted with failure. You might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. Indeed, your conception of failure might not be too far from the average person’s idea of success, so high have you already flown.Ultimately, we all have to decide for ou

36、rselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So I think it fair to say that by any conventional measure, a mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I

37、 was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears that my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇9 In 20xx not so l

38、ong ago a professor who was then at Columbia University took that case and made it Howard Roizen. And he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students. He changed exactly one word: "Heidi" to "Howard." But that one word made a really big difference. He then surveyed

39、the students, and the good news was the students, both men and women, thought Heidi and Howard were equally competent, and that's good.The bad news was that everyone liked Howard. He's a great guy. You want to work for him. You want to spend the day fishing with him. But Heidi? Not so sure.

40、She's a little out for herself. She's a little political.You're not sure you'd want to work for her. This is the complication. We have to tell our daughters and our colleagues, we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the A, to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table, and we

41、have to do it in a world where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that, even though for their brothers, there are not. The saddest thing about all of this is that it's really hard to remember this. And I'm about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me, but I think

42、important. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇10 when we xfaced with the difficulty x,avoidingx is not a good way for us. it can not solve the problems.what we need to do is that analying the cause and trying to changed our place .so we should be brave and face the trap directly. the film also teachs us to love others.

43、precious is someone who may exit near us .if precious own a good family and some friends,she may not fell so despaired. in spite of the development of our world ,there still many people suject misfortune.love and help can make them fell better ,so we should not scant our love .as what i said at the

44、beginning, we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite. the past has gone. nothing we do will change it. but the future is in front of us. believe that what we give to the world, the world will give to us. and from today on, lets be the owners of ourselves

45、, and speak out we are the world, we are the future. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇11 Eliminating or easing legal and cultural barriers so that more parents can make the choices that are right for their families is a core mission for our generation. We don’t label men working men. And it is my hope that by t

46、he time my daughter Arabella grows into a woman she will not be defined by whether she works inside or outside the home. She will simply be a woman, afforded the same opportunities as her male peers and equipped with the education and support she needs to fulfill her unique potential.This is how I b

47、elieve we will empower women – and in so doing, enable them to raise confident, empathetic, and ambitious sons and daughters, to propel unprecedented growth and job creation, and to cultivate a society that embraces the fullness of life, the dignity of work, and the gift of strong and flourish

48、ing families.So today, I hope you will join me in imagining this future and working together to make it a reality- for our children, for our nations, and for the hope of a more vibrant and inclusive economy. 毕业典礼老师英语演讲稿范文 篇12 Now I seriously want to thank you for that. I had to take that picture. My mother always took photos of me at every progress point growing up. She’d show off those photos to everyone who came
