1、【英文演说】不要做让自己开心的事You cannot let a fear of failure,or a fear of comparison,or a fear of judgment stop you from doing whats going to make you great.你不能让害怕失败，害怕被比较，或是害怕被评论阻止自己成为更好的人。 You cannot succeed without this risk of failure.You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism and you cannot love

2、 without the risk of loss.You must go out and you must take these risks.没有失败的风险就没有成功；没有批评的风险就没有立场；没有失去的风险就没有爱；你一定得承担这些风险。 And people will tell you to do what makes you happy,but a lot of this has been hard work,and Im not always happy.And I dont think you should do just what makes you happy,I think

3、you should do what makes you great.很多人会告诉你，做自己喜欢做的事，但其实很多都是苦劳，我也不是每天都开心的人，而且我不觉得你们应该要做让自己开心的事，你们应该要做让自己变得更好的事。 Do whats uncomfortable,and scary, and hard, but pays off in the long run. Be willing to fail. Let yourself fail.Fail in the way and the place where you would want to fail.Fail, pick yoursel

4、f up and fail again.跨出你的舒适圈，做一些让你害怕、辛苦，但长期下来会得到收获的事，要甘愿失败，让自己失败，跌在你想失败的地方，跌倒失败了，重新站起来，然后再失败。 Because without this struggle,what is your success anyway?As best we know we have one life, In it, you have to trust your own voice,your own ideas, your honesty, your vulnerability,and through this you will

5、find your way.因为没有了这些挣扎，那你的成功又算什么呢？就我们所知，人就只活这么一次，在这个生命中，你要相信自己的心声，你的想法、你的诚实、你的弱点，经过这些你才会找到出路。 You do not have to be fearless, just dont let fear stop you.Live like this as best you can,and I guarantee you will look back on a life well-lived.你不需要无所畏惧，但你一定不能让恐惧打败你，请抱着这样的态度生活下去，我可以保证当你多年之后回头看，你会觉得很值得。

6、 DO WHAT MAKES YOU GREAT。做那些让你变得更好的事。英语演讲稿全文： Good morning Merrimack. Id like to thank President Hopey, trustees,faculty, students, parents, and my apologies to all the grandparents in the audience who have absolutely no idea who I am. You are graduating from an excellent school today. Alumni have g

7、one on to be CEOs, doctors, politicians, professional athletes, however this year you get to receive wisdom, knowledge and life lessons, from a man who has made a living pretending to eat cat food. I do however have some qualifications, some insight, because I, like you are becoming today, am a Merr

8、imack College Graduate. I know what it took to get here. I was in this very room. I sat in those uncomfortable chairs. I dressed like some sort of medieval pastry chef and I too desperately hoped my hangover would wear off. If you can just make it to brunch you should be alright. Take note. A quick

9、observation. Apparently the higher in life you climb in life the more ridiculous your hats become. Like the one Im wearing today, or the popes or Pharrell. So if in some way you fear success, just think of the hats and that alone should motivate you.This may be hard to believe but it was roughly twe

10、nty years ago that as a freshman I first set foot on this campus. I remember it well. My parents eyes filled with tears. My own nervous excitement. I entered the Ash dormitory. I walked to my room. My heart was pounding with what the future might hold. I reached for the door handle, grabbed it tight

11、, only to discover it had been covered with Vaseline. It was a real lame prank being pulled by the boys on the third floor. So this is how its gonna be I thought to myself. Okay. They have no idea who just arrived on campus. I had to take action. I befriended a guy named Ed with a similar penchant f

12、or mischievousness. And late that evening Ed and I went to the third floor community bathrooms and cut all their shower curtains at waist high. Leaving the third floor boys with a diabolical option the next morning. Pass on a shower or take the most embarrassing shower of your life. My apologies for

13、 thedestruction of school property. Ill donate two shower curtains. Youll have to dig up Ed to get the third. Merrimack has come a long way since my time. The campus has grown. The quality of student improved. U.S. News & World Report ranked Merrimack as one of the top ten regional colleges in the n

14、orth. In my time there was a young man at this school who scored in the zero percentile on his SATs meaning nobody in the nation did worse than this man. This was a man who once mistakenly said he wished he lived when it was black and white. A man who with complete seriousness told someone, that he

15、would take their advice in to cooperation. This man, of course . was my room mate. Did you think it was me? Come on. Youre confusing me with my tv character. No. I was adecent student and Im actually a doctor now. I have a PHD. Id like to thank the school withbestowing me with this honor and highlig

16、hting to all the students and the other PHDs in the room today the complete and utter unfairness of life.And although I join the ranks of fellow prestigious Honorary Doctors like Mike Tyson and Kermit The Frog and although I fully acknowledge that Dr. Charlie Day sounds like some kind of club DJ. I

17、assure you all that I intend to go by this title from here on out. And as a doctor I plan to start writing my own prescriptions immediately. Now, I know that having a honorary doctorate degree will do nothing for me, but Im here to tell you today that your degrees, the ones you toiled to get, the on

18、es you actually took classes to earn, those degrees, will also basically do nothing. Let me clarify. You cant exchange your degree for cash. You cant have a degree audition or interview for you. You can not eat it. Please dont make love to it. You can maybe smoke it but I wouldnt advise it. A colleg

19、e degree collects dust. It does nothing. It does however mean something. It represents something, to yourself and your community. It tells your community. I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didnt give up. I pushed through. I made it, man. And although 44 of you today took more than

20、 4 years to achieve that goal, nobody has to know that. Think of the plus side, you gave your parents a couple more years of nobody living in their basement. Of course, jokes aside, you all should be very proud. This is the end of an impressive chapter and in many ways just the very beginning of wha

21、t your lives will be. And I know that you are curious about how things will go from here. Well let me tell you, Dr. DJ Charlie Day is here to help. I have been in your shoes. Not literally of course. I wouldnt go anywhere near your shoes. Im sure half of them reek of stale beer and vomit. No, my poi

22、nt is this. I was here and I have the rare opportunity today of looking back at myself on this day and giving my self advise. What would I say? First off, Charlie, lay off the dark beer and the bread. Youre getting a little puffy, bud. Also get over that girl. Shes not that into you. Youre really wa

23、sting your time, trust me shell regret it. Oh and you dont need to worry about Y2k its like not even going to be a big deal or anything. Okay perhaps this exercise isnt too helpful but the truth is I dont have a ton I would say to myself. Im happy with my choices. Lets face it, my life is pretty swe

24、et.是指在某些使用了计算机程序的智能系统（包括计算机系统、自动控制芯片等）中，由于其中的年份只使用两位十进制数来表示，因此当系统进行（或涉及到）跨世纪的日期处理运 算时（如多个日期之间的计算或比较等），就会出现错误的结果，进而引发各种各样的系统功 能紊乱甚至崩溃。 Id like to tell you instead three quick stories about some of those choices. The choices that led me from there to here and although most of you are not planning on b

25、ecoming actors and writers Im sure there are some parallels you can draw to help guide your own experience. If not, feel free to tune out. If your anything like I was at your age I lost you somewhere around Good morning Merrimack.第一则人生故事：关于抉择 When I left this school. I was presented with two options

26、. Move to New York City where I knew next to nobody and begin my pursuit of acting or take the entry level position that had been offered to my by Fidelity Investments. I know what you may be thinking. Why would major financial services corporation offer this numbskull job? The answer is simple, bec

27、ause I tricked them.Merrimacks business program was offering interviews with the company. The students would be given a score on their interview. I had no desire to work at Fidelity Investments but I had never been on an audition and I thought it would be a similar experience. I wanted to see if I c

28、ould pull off the role of aspiring banker. Or whatever they do at Fidelity. I had a game plan. Deflect from me. Get the guy to talk about himself. I wasnt going to lie. I just thought Id basically interview him. We had a pleasant conversation. If I recall correctly we talked forever about the intric

29、acies of water skiing, an activity I know nothing about. Look, had the man asked me what eight times seven was there would have been an unbearable pause in the room. But he didnt. The interview went so well they offered me a job. Now this threw me a little. It was a real job. A big boy job. It was a

30、lso more money than anyone had ever offered me for anything before. Should I take it? Is this my destiny? Am I the next great financial genius? Should I come up with a plan B. Work in Boston a few years at Fidelity. Make enough money to have a cozy transition to New York. Well, Ive always had a half

31、 baked philosophy that having plan B can muddy up your plan A. I didnt take the job. I moved to the city. I bussed tables and answered phones. I lived in a basement apartment next to a garbage chute. The apartment was filled with cockroaches. I couldnt have made a better decision. Well maybe not the

32、 cockroach part. I should have found a different apartment. Youll find better apartments. Just avoid the trash area.There is an obvious lesson here about believing in yourself, and there is the plan A plan B stuff but forget all that for a second. I think the lesson is this. Had I worked at Fidelity

33、 Im sure they would have fired me eventually. Im no financial genius. I can barely do long division. But I didnt want to fail at Fidelity. And I didnt want to fail in Boston. If I was going to run the risk of failure I wanted it to be in New York. I wanted to fail in the way and place where I would

34、be proud to fail, doing what I wanted to do and let me tell you . I did fail. Time and time again. I was too short for this or too strange for that. I even had one casting director for a movie say hell never work in comedy. I was taking my punches but I was in the fight. Thats a metaphor of course,

35、I highly doubt I have any ability to take an actual punch.第二则人生故事：等待机会不如创造机会 My second story is a story about creating your own opportunities instead of waiting for them to be given to you. After a few years in New York, my foot was in the door. I was working. I was doing bit parts in film and telev

36、ision like mail kid #1 and junky #2. I couldnt get that big break. After many, many failed attempts of getting cast in television something popped up. It looked as though I was going to be offered a part on a big network show called Life on a Stick. Around that same time because I was tired of waiti

37、ng for the big break I along with my friends Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton started filming a show in my apartment. We had a sense that maybe we could make a better show than what was being offered to us at the time. We borrowed cameras asked friends to hold microphones and shot this show that we

38、 would eventually call Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Suddenly there was another decision to be made. Another crossroad. Do I do Life on a Stick. Take the big network opportunity, the big paycheck or bet on myself and my friends, make no money and try to sell what basically was a home movie as th

39、e next great television series. Do I try to convince people that Im a writer and a show runner even though I didnt own a personal computer at the time. We were talking about a real long shot. It was the scarier thing to do but I said no thanks, to Life on a Stick and went with Sunny. Life on a Stick

40、 went one season and thirteen episodes. We are currently filming our tenth season of Sunny weve written and produced one hundred fourteen episodes and are signed on for another two seasons making Sunny one of the longest running comedies of all time. Again the bet on myself and my friends paid off.

41、This time in spades. There was power in numbers. Sunny changed my life. Not only did I have a career as an actor and a writer now, I had complete control over it control it too. If I wanted to dress in a full body green spandex suit it went in the show. If we wanted to drink wine from a coke can as

42、perhaps some of you are doing today it went in the show and if someone thought mittens were funny on kittens it went in the show. It was the riskier road and again I could not have made a better decision. Taking matters into my own hands changed everything. Led to everything. Horrible Bosses, Pacifi

43、c Rim, Saturday Night Live. Creating the job as opposed to having it offered to me accelerated the process. Draw your own conclusions here but I think the lesson is obvious. Dont wait for your break. Make your break. Make it happen for yourself.第三则人生故事：去做！别怕失败 My last story of what led me from there

44、 to here is the literal act of agreeing to be here. When President Hopey came to Los Angeles to sit down with me my first thought was, here it comes, theyre gonna ask me for money. But when he asked me to speak to you today, I quickly accepted. Then as is the case with all great opportunities, reali

45、ty of what I had to do began to set in. Dear God I said to myself, Im actually going to have to give a speech. I am not a public speaker. I have a voice like a ten year old who smokes. How am I going to do this?from there to here 一路走来 I YouTubed commencement speeches given by Conan OBrien, Steven Co

46、lbert, Steve Jobs. This . was a terrible idea. Their speeches were so intelligent, so well informed and soeloquent that only more panic began to set in. What am I thinking How could I ever compare? And the truth is, I cant. I dont host a talk show or do stand up. As an actor normally you have cut aw

47、ay from me ages ago. I am not nearly as smart as Steve Jobs was. Im dont know how my computer works, I dont even know how my toaster works! And the YouTube comments, Oh the snarky comments! We live in a world now where things dont go away. And that perhaps is the most terrifying thing of all. But I

48、didnt back out. Im here today speaking to you. And I know I will be posted on YouTube and judged and compared by all who care to see. But my lesson is this. I dont give a shit. You can not let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgement stop you from doing the things that will make you great. You can not succeed without the risk of failure. You can not have a voice without the risk of criticism. You can not love without the risk of loss. You must
