哈佛家训读后感 篇2

晚上我读了《哈佛家训》之梦想篇,我明白了每个人都应该有自己的信念和梦想,有奋斗的目标。

一位名叫希瓦勒的乡村邮递员,被一块样子奇特的石头绊倒了,他捡了起来后非常喜欢,并放进邮包里,村里的人都笑话他,而他却因此有了一个梦想,要用这些美丽的石头建一座城堡。他白天在送信途中开始收集好看的石头,晚上建自己的城堡。二十多年后,他终于建成了法国最著名的一座城堡——邮递员希瓦勒之理想宫。

想想如果希瓦勒没有梦想,他的城堡就不会建起来,他也只是一个小小的邮递员,不会被人知道。它告诉我们一个道理:没有目标或盲目地跟随的人,不会有任何的收获,因为他们自己不知道为什么要去做;把别人的期待当成自己目标的人,也不会有收获和快乐的感受,他也只是为了别人而活着;有目标的人,并为它去努力、去付出心血,那么他最终会实现这个梦想,而且从中能体会到乐趣。即使实现不了,他也不会感到后悔、遗憾,因为他毕竟付出了。

在我心中,就有一个最大的梦想,那就是考上我国最好的大学——北大。我知道自己有不少的缺点,可我会努力地改掉,我会向着这个目标去奋斗。

哈佛家训读后感 篇3

生动感人的故事,深刻精辟的人身哲理。最成功的教子经验,最实用的成人修身指南。改变命运铸造完美人生,从《哈佛家训》开始。

当我看到的题目时,还以为是一个枯燥乏味的家训。但我翻开第一页时,彻底打消了原来的念头。他没有空洞的说教,没有深奥的道理,而是有一百余则生动有趣,寓意深刻的小故事组成。内容涉及:梦想、创意、责任、勇气、信念五个方面,该我带来深层次的思考和心灵感悟。

我印象最深的一个小故事是:1840年5月2日,发行了第一种邮票,叫黑便士。到了今天,只剩下了两枚,美国的一家拍卖行准备拍卖们。拍卖那天,10万美元的邮票被炒到了50万美元。这时,一个年轻人说了一声:“200万!”全场鸦雀无声,当然,邮票也肯定属于他了。

他接过邮票,做了一个令人意想不到的事——年轻人从兜里掏出了一个打火机,把其中一枚邮票烧了。全场一片哗然,有人大声喊道:“这个疯子烧掉了100万美元!”年轻人仍然很淡定,大步走上前台,大声说∶“5月2日的黑便士只有这一枚了,可谓举世无双,我宣布,它的价格为400美元。”不久,一位富商以500万美元买走了。

人们总是说一加一大于二是一种智慧,但他们却不知道,二减一大于而是一种更高的智慧。我从中体验到:“换种思维,创意无价。”

《哈佛家训》属于那种枕边书和手边书。无论何时拿起它来看,你都会发现触动自己灵魂的语句;无论你从哪一页读起,都会被它吸引,都会有所感悟,甚至从内心深处迸发出智慧的火花;无论你看过几遍,都想再去翻一翻。这本书是读不完的。

哈佛家训读后感 篇4

暑假期间,我看了一本《哈佛家训》。刚看到这本书就感到很好奇,因为封面上写着这是一本迄今为止最全面、最实用、最具有珍藏价值的书,这便引起了我的好奇心想拥有这本书,于是我怀着好奇的心情开始阅读这本书。

看完了第一个章节就觉得这是一本非常好的书。这本书总共分成了五大篇。哈佛教给学生人生哲学,让我明白了人生的意义,懂的热爱生命,树立正确的人生观和价值观。 合理规划自己的时间,让我懂得在所有资源中,时间不同于其他的资源,他没有弹性,找不到代替品,而且时间永远是短缺的。所以我们要学会合理利用零碎的时间。鲁迅先生曾说过“哪里有什么天才,我只是把别人喝咖啡的时间都用在工作上了。我们每天不浪费、不虚度一点时间即使只有5、6分钟时间也会有了不起的成果。许多科学家之所以能有伟大的成就就是应为懂得合理利用时间。

学习到底是为了什么,让我明白了学历并不能代表能力,他只是你曾经学习过的证明。学习的真正目的并不在于是学习某种技巧,而是在于学到终身学习的能力。

美德验证人生价值,让我明白道德是人生中的第一堂课,人一定要做一个堂堂正正的人,应该一生都为之奋斗。艾默生曾说过:“品格是一种内在的力量,它的存在直接发

挥作用,而无需借助任何手段。”

而好习惯受益终身,让我明白一个好的习惯会让你受益终身,而一个坏习惯却像是一个如影随形的魔鬼他会坏了你的人生。拥有好的习惯是一种无形的资产,会在你不经意间为你赢得意想不到简直和惊喜。养成一个好习惯长期的坚持和自律,会换来无价的珍宝。

没有哪一本书像《哈佛家训》那样让我们痴迷,也很少有一本书向它那样,列举一个个小故事来后面都会有一个深刻的人生哲理,是我非常喜欢。每一次我都会看的如痴如醉,现在我把这本书介绍给大家,希望能去好好观看。

对于哈佛心得体会总结 篇5

各位领导、各位老师、同学们:

大家好! 我30年前留校任教,在继续教育学院做教师也已20xx年了,从做学生到教学生,我最喜欢丹桂飘香的秋季校园。

每一届新生入学,给老师带来新的责任和激励,给学校注入活力和青春。作为学院教师代表,我要向新同学表示欢迎和祝贺,你们选择了南航大,学校62年积淀的严谨求实的学风和校风能给你们良好的学习氛围。

你们有志通过自学考试获得高等教育学历和职业技能,继续教育学院及全体任课老师会尽其所能,帮助你们健康地成长,梦想成真。

大学是校园生活的高级阶段,也是从青春懵懂走向独立成熟的过渡。在你们的大学生活里,不仅仅是完成课业、通过考试,更重要的是形成积极进取的人生态度、从善如流的价值理念,养成独立思考、理性行为的习惯。尽早地认识到这一层面并努力地修为,将使你们终身受益。

我从三个方面跟同学们谈谈我的看法:

第一,青年要有目标、有追求、勤奋而踏实、不负青春网传的一句流行语:“当你不去吃苦,不去竞争,不去拼一份奖学金,不尝试没试过的生活,整天挂着qq,刷着微博、朋友圈,看着电视剧,玩着网游,干着我80岁都能做的事,你要青春干嘛?”

坐在教室里认真地听听课、看看书,动动脑筋,很辛苦吗?可是有谁是在逍遥中获得成功的?

当你看了《杜拉拉升职记》,你觉得外企真好,出入高档写字楼,说着让人听不懂的外语专业术语,拿着让人眼红的薪水。你可知道他所吃的苦,是早就开始每天只睡三个小时,从n年前的数据查到昨天,一点点的做着细致无比的分析。

当你看了《亲密敌人》,你觉得投行男好帅,开着凯迪拉克,漫步澳大利亚的海滩,随手签着几百万美金的合同。你可知道他所吃的苦,是为了一个上市项目,在三天之内自学几十万字的材料,让自己在三天之内从一个门外汉变成一个行家。。

当你看到一位世界500强企业快消人出差满世界飞,在各种地方住五星级酒店,你觉得好风光。你可知道他所吃的苦,是为了一套更合理更系统的方案,而不断的和各个领导、客户去磨合,去询问,去思考;他所吃的苦,是为了签下一个大订单,自己一个人在异国他乡,看着别人世界中的团圆,装饰着自己的相思梦。

岁月蹉跎匆匆过,而青年人的生活要是没有目标、没有追求,在最能学习的时候你选择玩乐,在最能吃苦的时候你选择安逸,错过了人生最为难得的学习、积累、用功的经历,对生活的理解浅薄,技能匮乏,你的生活怎么会精彩呢?!

当你抱怨自己已经学得很辛苦的时候,当你懈怠了,一定要想想那些睡得比你晚、起得比你早、跑得比你卖力、天赋还比你高的你的同龄人;当你还赖在床上,他们早已在晨光中跑向那个你只能眺望的远方。

所以,不要在最能吃苦的时候选择安逸,你得奔跑着追赶走在你前面的人。

第二,要注意学习方式的转变,养成积极主动的思维习惯

大学时代的学习和中学时代有显著的不同,大学学习侧重于理解概念和规律及用于解决问题。大学老师除了“传道”(告诉你结论、教你方法)之外,更重要的是“解惑”。这需要学生在老师的引导下,对学习内容主动去思考、体会,提出问题,即勤问。

老师才有需要解的“惑”,而你就是在吸收、质疑、解惑、反思的过程中学到知识、锻炼思维、增长能力。

要在平凡而枯燥的学习生活中体会到成就感,同学们可以在每个学期制定可行的学习计划甚至细化到作息时刻,并在同宿舍或同班同学之间互相监督。基础差的考量每天是否在进步;学有余力的拓宽读书范围、增加练习量,打开眼界。

还要尽可能地增加同学之间的讨论、交流。美国哈佛大学的名言“在学校,1/3是跟老师学的,2/3是跟同学学的。”。

第三,与人相处之道--学会尊重、宽容、沟通和交流

进入大学以后,同学们离开父母,进入新的集体,衣食住行学等日常生活都要靠自己安排。

同学们来自五湖四海,家庭背景、兴趣爱好、生活习惯都会存在差异,互相理解和关心成为一种必需。同学们要学会独立处理学习生活中遇到的各种实际问题,要尽快适应新的环境,主动地加强与周围的人沟通和交流,要学会过集体生活,与同学和睦相处,遇到矛盾得换位思考,因为并不只有你是这个世界的主角。

有句谚语说得好:“幸福并不取决于财富、权利和容貌,而是取决于你和周围人的相处。”

大学时光美好而又短暂,学会思考什么才是人生中最重要的事,学会思考做什么样的人,并且在这四年中脚踏实地、心态平和,努力付诸行动去接近你的目标。在这个过程中,老师是你的脚前灯、路上的光。

上星期教师节,我在网上看到一句教师的自我表白,感同身受,转述一下,也是向学生表白做老师的心迹:“教书是一场苦恋,费心去爱的那一群人,总会离你而去;教书是一场单恋,学生虐我千百遍,我待学生如初恋。亲爱的同学,你若不离不弃,我便点灯相依;你若自我放弃,我还是在这里一如既往帮你!”

谢谢大家!

读哈佛家训有感 篇6

偶然间看到一句话:人生最可悲的不是贫穷,而是甘愿贫穷,习惯贫穷。很多孩子怨自己没有投好胎,生活在富裕的家庭。很多父母怨自己的孩子没有出息,无法带领自己的家庭走向繁荣昌盛。经过岁月的洗礼和生活的打磨,大家总是习惯于把希望寄托在别人身上,却忘记了改变命运是从自我奋斗开始。

在与贫穷这场斗争中,请充满勇气地去战斗,不要被贫穷所同化了,我们谁都不应该贫穷,在《哈佛家训》里记载着一个富豪的成长故事:

美国人约翰富勒的家中有7个兄弟姐妹,他从5岁开始工作,9岁时会赶骡子。他有一位了不起的母亲,她经常和儿子谈到自己的梦想:我们不应该贫穷,不要说贫穷是上帝的旨意,我们很穷,但不能怨天尤人,那是因为你爸爸从未有过改变贫穷的欲望,家中每一个人都胸无大志。这些话深植富勒的心,他一心想跻身于富人之列,开始努力追求财富。

2年后,富勒接手一家被拍卖的公司,并且还陆续收购了7家公司,他谈及成功的秘诀,还是用多年前母亲的话回答:我们很穷,但不能怨天尤人,那是因为你爸爸从未有过改变贫穷的欲望,家中每一个人都胸无大志。富勒在多次受邀演讲中说到:虽然我不能成为富人的后代,但我可

无论追求财富或获取健康;无论谋求功名或寻找快乐;无论追逐利益或追求自由……如果要达到目的,首先必须有一种强烈的渴望,并锲而不舍地为之奋斗,当你看见它的时候,你就会很快地认识它,并能紧紧抓住它。

可能你无法给孩子买昂贵的`衣服,玩高大上的玩具,上最好的学校,但是你一定要告诉孩子:我们并不穷!只要努力奋斗就不会有贫穷。

曾经看过一部电影《当幸福来敲门》:主人公克里斯遭遇事业的失败,妻子的抛弃,人情的冷暖,住救济房,还去卖过血来维持生活。总之,生活所有不幸的事都发生了在他身上。可是他却从来没有对自己的孩子说过一个"苦"字,不论住在哪里,总是让孩子在自己的怀抱里醒来,以至于孩子从来没有因为这些苦难而感到不快乐,而是顽强的与老爸一起改变命运,捍卫梦想!

不要跟孩子哭穷,增加他们的心理负担

莫言曾在《母亲》一文中,有这么一段话:愁容满面的母亲,在辛苦劳作时,嘴里竟哼唱着一支小曲!也正是因为有这么乐观的母亲才养出了这么成功的莫言,在那个困苦的时代,莫言的母亲从来没有跟孩子哭过穷,总是以身作则的告诉孩子,要忍受生活赋予你的苦难,不屈不挠的活下去!

在生活中,我们会常常听到这样的声音:孩子,爸爸这么辛苦都是为了你啊,家里条件不好,你要多多理解;自从有了你,我就没有过过好日子,养育你压力实在是太大了;你一定要有出息啊,改变家里的命运就靠你了;

可是结果呢?因为家里穷,孩子不敢带朋友回家;因为家里穷,孩子不敢乱买东西,在朋友吃的很开心的时候,默默的在一旁看着;因为家里穷,从来不参加学校组织的春游……最后,因为家里穷,原本成绩很好的孩子放弃了读书,外出打工减轻父母的负担。

不要甘愿贫穷,一切皆有可能

曾经看过这么一个新闻,本来生活的很好的一家三口,因为父亲生意的失败却发生了翻天覆地的变化。原本精神抖擞高大的父亲开始抽烟酗酒,原本温柔贤淑的母亲开始流连于赌场,原本成绩优秀的孩子因为父母的改变也开始了自我放弃。生活如果没有挫折没有困难就不叫生活了!有钱和没钱对孩子来说真的很重要,但是,比起这个更重要的是父母的教育!

孩子本身是一张白纸,他们身上有着无限的可能。倘若小小年纪就认同了自己贫穷的人生,是何其的残忍。所以,请尽可能的让孩子拥有一个阳光健康的童年,没有钱没关系,只要肯努力奋斗,一切皆会有!

结婚之前你可以生活的像一个屌丝,但有了孩子之后,你一定要成为一个奋斗上进的人!没办法给孩子建造一个美丽的王国没关系,但你可以为孩子打造一个精神王国,让孩子的内心世界充满着阳光,快乐,自信,坚强。所以,请不要再对孩子哭穷和抱怨,这并不会为你的生活带来什么改变,反而会改变孩子的一生。希望父母在教育孩子的时候要传达这么一个信念:

谁都不应该贫穷!

对于哈佛心得体会总结 篇7

may 24, 20xx

greetings, class of 20xx.

and so it is here—the week of your commencement. the days of miracle and wonder when your theses are written, classes have ended, and you still have free hbo. and so it may seem strange to be gathered here today, as we pause for this ancient and curious custom called the baccalaureate—but here we are, me in a pulpit and you in pews, dressed for a sermon in which i am to impart the sober wisdom of age to the semi-sober impatience of youth. now, it is a daunting task. especially since over the course of four years i have succeeded in disconcerting people on all sides of the many issues that you will soon be discussing with parents and grandparents over dinner—so in addition to a speech, for handy reference i’ve created a placemat for commencement, filled with useful phrases. such as, “it’s ‘final club,’ without an ‘s.’”

now, i am truly privileged today, for you are an extraordinary group. your 80 countries of origin do not begin to describe you.

you may remember the day when we escaped the rain at your freshman convocation, and you heard from me and a phalanx of elders in dark robes: connect, we said, make harvard part of your narrative. take risks, we told you. don’t always listen to us.

and for four years you have distinguished yourselves with dazzling variety: in what may be harvard’s most pergent dozen, you produced six rhodes scholars, including one who broke the world record for standing on a “swiss” exercise ball, plus six athletes invited to the national football league to play ball, players whose interests range from the ministry to curing infectious diseases.

you were good at long distances: you probed the atmosphere of an exoplanet; researched antibiotic use on a pig farm in denmark; and you created a pilot program that cut shuttle times from the quad by half.

you experienced old traditions: the mumps. a class color, orange. and the time-honored lampoon theft of the crimson president’s chair—this time transporting it across state lines to manhattan’s trump tower, for a staged photo op with a then dark-horse presidential candidate.

you found your way: on campus, through a maze of renovations and swing housing; onstage, doing stand-up comedy on nbc, dancing in bogota, and mounting black magic at the loeb; through the halls of business and finance, running an intercollegiate investment fund; and exposing a privacy issue with facebook’s messenger app.

you won, with style and grace: as you captured the first national trophy for harvard mock trial—by being funnier than yale; and then you shellacked the bulldogs in the game for—yes—the 9th straight year; you produced the first ivy “three-peats” in football and women’s track; and brought home the first ivy crown in women’s rugby—how “fierce and beautiful” was that!

and, of course, all this was powered by huds, since 20xx, powered with ceaseless servings of swai.

and you were just plain good: you wrote prize-winning theses on sea level change, a water crisis in detroit; you engineered a better barbecue smoker—and tested it in a blizzard; you joined the fight to end malaria; and earned the award for best hockey player in the ncaa for strength of character as well as skill; you became well connected—to alzheimer’s patients, to kids in kenya, to homeless youth; and, as the inaugural class of ed school teacher fellows, 20 of you are preparing to help high-need students rise.

and i understand you even rested with ambition, as you tried to “netflix and chill.”

you made it all look easy—all while facing blows to the spirit that have tempered and tested you. you arrived just after a breach of academic trust that, by your senior year, produced the first honor code in harvard’s history, events that raised hard questions for all of us: what is success? what is integrity? to whom, or what, are we accountable?

when a hurricane prompted the first harvard closing in 34 years, you rallied with generosity and goodwill—and did so again when we closed for snowstorm nemo—the fifth largest in boston history. and that was just a warm up, so to speak, for the winter of our misery—the worst in boston history—when you sledded the slopes of widener in a kayak.

and when the bombs went off at the boston marathon, in just your second semester, we considered still larger questions: who are we? what matters most? what do we owe to one another? you told me that you became bostonians that day, bonded to a city beyond harvard square, and to each other during the manhunt and lockdown, when the university closed for an unprecedented third time in 6 months.

who can forget the images—of the mayhem, of the people who ran, not for safety, buttoward the danger, into the chaos? the army veteran, who smelled cordite, and expecting more bombs, saved a college student’s life; the man in the cowboy hat, who ripped away fencing in order to reach the most injured. and who can forget the moment when red sox first baseman david ortiz stood in the center of fenway park and said in eleven words of fellowship and defiance that the fcc chose not to censor, though i will today—“this is our [bleeping] city and nobody[’s] gonna dictate our freedom.”

a few months ago as i was lucky enough to be sitting in a broadway theater, absorbing the final number of the musical hamilton, i thought of you, and that fierce spirit of inclusion and self-determination. i watched as eliza, center stage, sang, “i put myself back in the narrative,” and asked the question in the title of her song, “who lives, who dies, who tells your story?,” the spirited summation of a production that, like you, has broken records. like you, has created a new drama inside a very old one.

harvard, one might say, is a bastion of opportunity and unimaginable good fortune—for all of us, who find a place, with varying degrees of comfort, at the center of its long and successful narrative. and yet the burden is on us—to locate the discomfort, to act on the restless spirit of that legacy. as i thought about speaking to you here today, it occurred to me how much the question in that final song has framed your time here, and how much it will continue to affect your lives, as college graduates, as harvard alumni, as citizens and as leaders. who will tell your story?

you. you will tell your story. that is the point that i want to leave you with today. telling your own story, a fresh story, full of possibility and a new order of things, is the task of every generation, and the task before you. and that task is exactly what your liberal arts education has prepared you to do, in three vital ways:

first, telling your own story means discovering who you are, and not what others think you should be. it means being mindful of others, but deciding for yourself. it’s easy to tell a tale that others define, the one they expect to hear. a moment ago i sketched your harvard history. but what did i leave out? one of harvard’s legendary figures and reverend walton’s predecessor, the reverend peter gomes, used to put it this way: “don’t let anyone finish your sentences for you.” he loved being a paradox, an unpredictable surprise, but always true to himself: a republican in cambridge; a gay baptist preacher; black president of the pilgrim society—afro-saxon, as he sometimes put it. playful. unapologetic. unbounded by others’ expectations. “my anomalies,” he once said, “make it possible to advance the conversation.”

advance the conversation. this is my next point. telling our own stories is not just about us. it is a conversation with others, exploring larger purposes and other worlds and different ways of thinking. your education is not a bubble. think of it as an escape hatch, from what nigerian novelist and former radcliffe fellow chimamanda adichie calls “the danger of a single story.” she has observed, “[h]ow impressionable and vulnerable we are in the face of a story.” not because it may be untrue, but because, in her words, “[stories] are incomplete. they make one story become the only story,” even though “[m]any stories matter.” for four years you have learned the rewards of other stories, and the risk of critical misunderstandings when they go unheard—whether those stories emerge from the office for lgbtq life, or the black lives matter movement, or the international conversation on sexual assault—and perhaps most powerfully, from one another. this is precious knowledge. only by knowing that other stories are possible can we imagine a different future. what will medicine look like in the 21st century? energy? migration? how will cities be designed? the question, as one of you wrote in the crimson, is not “what am [i] going to be,” but “what problem do [i] solve?”

which brings me to my final point: keep revising. every story is only a draft. we re-tell even our oldest sagas—whether of hamilton and the american revolution or of harvard itself. the best education prepares you because it is unsettling, an obstacle course that forces us to question and push and reinvent ourselves, and the world, in a new way. steven spielberg, who will speak to us on thursday, has explained the foundation of his powerful storytelling. he says: “fear is my fuel. i get to the brink of not knowing what to do and that’s when i get my best ideas.”

what is a university but a place where everyone should feel equally sure to be unsure? our best discoveries can start out as mistakes. as herbie hancock told us, his mentor jazz legend miles davis, said there is no playing a “wrong” note, only a surprising one, whose meaning depends on whatever you play next.

in the evolving universe of profiles and hashtags and selfies, it seems no accident that you are the class of snapchat—a platform that took hold when you were freshmen and developed with you, from showing “snaps” to telling and sharing “stories”—stories that vanish every day, to be replaced by new stories, free of “likes” or “followers.” an app that, in the words of a founder, “isn’t about capturing … what[’s] pretty or perfect … but … creates a space to … communicat[e] with the full range of human emotion.”

and so for four years you have been learning to re-tell things: finding your voices, putting yourself in a narrative, whether that was demanding action against climate change, discovering that you love statistics, or creating the powerful message of “i, too, am harvard.” you have seen things re-told. even harvard’s story. last month one of my heroes, congressman john lewis, came to harvard yard to unveil a plaque on wadsworth house, documenting the presence of four enslaved inpiduals who lived in the households of two harvard presidents. john lewis said, “we try to forget but the voices of generations have been calling us to remember.” titus, venus, bilhah and juba—their lives change our story. after three centuries, they have a voice. they, too, are harvard.

telling a new story isn’t easy. it can take courage, and resolve. it often means leaving the safe path for the unknown, compelled, as john lewis put it, to “disturb the order of things.” and during your years here you have learned to make, as he urged, “good trouble, necessary trouble.”

for years i have been telling students: find what you love. do what matters to you. it might be physics or neuroscience, or filmmaking or finance. but don’t settle for plot b, the safe story, the expected story, until you have tried plot a, even if it might require a miracle. i call this the parking space theory of life. don’t park 10 blocks away from your destination because you are afraid you won’t find a closer space. don’t miss your spot—don’t throw away your shot. go to where you think you want to be. you can always circle back to where you have to be. this can require patience and determination. steven spielberg was, in fact, late to class his first day as a student at california state university, because, as he put it, “i had to park so far away.” he went on to sneak onto movie sets, no matter how many times he got thrown off.

“you shouldn't dream your film,” he has said, “you should make it!”

perhaps this is the new jurassic parking space theory of life—don’t just tell your story, live it. your future is not a . it’s an attitude, a way of being that can create a new narrative no one may have thought possible, let alone probable:

jeremy lin—harvard graduate, asian-american—changed the narrative of professional basketball, still sizzling with “linsanity” when you arrived as freshmen.

think about stephen hawking, who spoke to us last month through a speech synthesizer. he changed the narrative of the universe, a story about what ultimately will become of all our stories—one he has been revising since he was your age, when he was given three years to live.

and you are already changing the story:

think of the astrophysics and mythology concentrator who started a mentorship program for women of color to change the narrative of who enters stem fields, and she wrote a science fiction novel to tell a new research-based story about the galaxy.

or think of the second lieutenant—one of 12 new harvard officers—who will serve her country in the u.s. marines, battling not only the enemy, but persistent gender pides. “how will that change,” she says, “unless we start now?”

and think about the pre-med student who found himself literally running away from campus, fleeing in misery, until he suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned back, because he remembered he needed to be at a theater rehearsal where he had stage managing responsibilities. some 20 productions later, he has a theater directing fellowship for next year, and even his parents, as he puts it, now believe “that i am an artist.”

value the ballast of custom, the foundations of knowledge, the weight of expectation. they, too, are important. but don’t be afraid to defy them.

and don’t worry, as you feel the tug of these final days together. i am here to tell you that your harvard story is never done. in 1978, two freshmen watched a screening of the movielove story in the science center. three decades later, they met for the first time. and their wedding story appeared last month in the new york times.

so, congratulations, class of 20xx. don’t forget from whence you came. change the narrative. rewrite the story. there is no one i would rather trust with that task.

go well, 20xx.

哈佛校长福斯特演讲中文

人们也许会说哈佛是天堂,充满了各种难以想象的机遇和好运——确实,我们每个人都有幸在她漫长而成功的历史中占有一席之地。但这也对我们提出了要求:我们有责任走出自己的舒适区,寻找属于我们的挑战,践行哈佛奋斗不息的精神。

在我准备今天演讲的时候, 我想到了音乐剧《汉密尔顿》中最后那首歌里的问题:

“谁来讲述你的故事?”

我想这个问题奠定了你们过去四年大学生活的基调,也将对你们未� 你在哈佛所接受的文理博雅教育,将会用以下三种重要方式,帮助你去完成这项任务。

“听别人的建议,做你自己的决定

讲述你的故事意味着发现你自己是谁——而不是成为别 你要参考别人的意见,但要做出自己的决定。讲述一个别人定义好的或别人希望听到的故事,那太容易了。

哈佛的传奇人物之一、可敬的彼得·戈麦斯教授曾说:“不要让任何人替你把话说完。”

戈麦斯教授自己经常“自相矛盾”,令人难以捉摸,但永远忠于他自己:他是一位剑桥市的共和党人(注:在哈佛所在的剑桥市,共和党是少数派);他是一位浸礼会的牧师,但同时是个同性恋(注:基督教大多不支持同性恋);他是朝圣者协会的会长,同时又是一位黑人(注:朝圣者协会白人居多)。

他对自己的信仰坚定不移,他不为外人的期望牵挂束缚。他说:“我的不同寻常,让开启新的对话变为可能。”

“开启与他人的对话,倾听他人的故事”

开启新的对话,这是我的下一个重点。讲述我们自己的故事并不意味着只关注我们自己。讲故事是与他人对话,借此探寻更远大的目标、探索其他的世界、探究不同的思维方式——你所受的教育不是一个真空的大泡沫。

如果我们只讲述单一的故事,那将是危险的,就像诺大的场地只有一个逃生口,令所有人变得异常脆弱。单一的故事不一定是假的,但它是不完整的。所有的故事都很重要,不能把单一角度的故事变成唯一的故事。

过去四年,你们感受到了倾听他人故事的益处,也体验到了忽略他人故事所带来的危险。只有意识到,世界上充满了各种各样的故事,我们才能想象一个不一样的未来。21世纪的医疗是什么样?能源是什么样?移民是什么样?城市将如何设计?面对这些问题,你要问的不是“我 每个故事其实都只是一个草稿,我们连最古老的传说都会不断拿来重提——不管是汉密尔顿将军的故事、美国独立战争的史诗、亦或是哈佛自己的历史。

好的教育之所以好,是因为它让你坐立不安,它强迫你不断重新认识我们自己和我们周遭的世界,并不断去改变。

斯蒂芬·斯皮尔伯格将在毕业典礼上为我们演讲,他就曾经这样解释他创作的基石:“恐惧是我的动力。当我濒临走投无路的时候,那也是我遇见最好的想法的时候。”

大学,不正是这样一个让每一个人都接受挑战、让每一个人都产生不确定性的地方吗?

就这样,大学四年间,你都一直在学习重新讲述你的故事:寻找你自己的声音,将自己放入一个故事中——无论是对气候变化采取反抗行动,发现你对统计学的热衷,还是发起了一项有意义的运动,你亲眼目睹故事不断被重新讲述。

“不要妥协,直奔你的目标”

这些年,我一直在告诉大家:

追随你所爱!

去从事你真正关心的事业吧,无论是物理还是神经科学,无论是金融还是电影制片。如果你想好了目的地,就直接往那里去吧。这就是我的“停车位理论”:不要因为觉得肯定没有停车位了,就把车停在距离目的地10个街区远的地方。直接去你想去的地方,如果车位已满,你总可以再绕回来。

所以在这里,我想祝贺你们,20xx届的哈佛毕业生们。别忘了你们来自何处,不断改变你的故事,不断重写你的故事。我相信这项任务除了你们自己,谁也无法替你们完成!

读哈佛家训有感 篇8

当那个小男孩不遗余力地去报恩时,他的形象变得无比高大。那份从容、镇定也许是神灵才有的境界。

作为一名教师,我感到汗颜,面对我的每一名学生,我是否做到了关心每一个人。那些被我厌烦、忽略的学生就像那些奄奄一息的小鱼,而当我从他们身边无视地走过时,那份痛也许比面临死亡更让他们心碎。

“哀莫大于心死”,从前我不太明白现在我才顿悟。关注每一个学生绝不能成为一句空话,一个班级的学生成绩分很多层次,我们绝不能只关注学习好的学生,那些学习不好的学生更需要你的。关注。从他们的学生习惯、生活习惯、心理状态入手,找出影响他们学习的因素,对症下药,让他们养成良好的学习习惯,即使不能马上换成理想的分数,但对他们的一生都会有莫大的帮助的。

有人会诉苦了,那么多学生,如何就会得来。不要抱怨,从今天开始,每天有一个计划:观察某些同学,找某些同学谈心,及时和家长沟通。如果天天只是抱怨,穷报一生,你也不会有所建树的。

有人会说:“有这个必要吗?关注成绩好的学生你会有收获,关注那些学习不好的同学,又有谁能看得见?”面对生命,本就是众生平等,又怎能有高低贵贱之分呢?我们要做的无非就是无愧于自己的良心罢了。

雄鹰搏击苍穹,只为成就共伟大;医生救死扶伤,只为深知生命的可贵;教师教书育人,只为赋予学生生存的空间。只要人人托举一颗无私无畏的关心,世界将会变成美好的人间!

推荐哈佛家训读后感(推荐 篇11

没有哪一本书像《哈佛家训》那样,让我们震撼,也很少有一本书像它那样,以不拘一格的形式将人生丰富的哲理生动有趣地展现出来。不同于众多说教式的书籍,《哈佛家训》从头到尾都是生动的,引人入胜的。每读完一个故事,就会觉得人生出现了另一片天空。

其中有三篇故事印象最深。第一篇《成功就站在失败的后面》:1832年的美国,有一个人和大家一道失业了。他很伤心,但他下决心改行从政。他参加州议员竞选,结果竞选失败了。他着手开办自己的企业,可是,不到一年。这家企业倒闭了。此后几年里,他不得不为偿还债务而到处奔波。在他一生经历的十一次重大事件中,只成功了两次,其他都以失败告终,可他始终没有停止追求。1860年,他终于当选为美国总统。他就是至今仍让美国人深深怀念的亚伯拉罕。林肯。

这个故事给人的启示是:一直坚持到最后的人才知道,世界上没有“不可能”。伟人和凡人不同之处,只是在于能否坚持到最后而已。成功就站在失败的后面,朝前走几步,你就会看见。

第二篇《名著从一页纸开始》:哈里在美国海岸警卫队服役的时候就爱上了创作,但不知为什么,他总不能写出让人满意的作品。哈里认为,他必须先有了灵感才能写作,所以,他每天都必须等待“情绪来了”,才能坐在打字机前开始工作。每当哈里想要写作的时候,他的脑子就变得一片空白,这种情况使他感到害怕。为了避免瞪着白纸发呆,他就干脆离开打字机。他去收拾一下花园,把写作暂时忘掉,心里马上就好受些。他也用其他办法来摆脱这种心境,比如去打扫卫生间,或者去刮刮胡子。

后来,他偶尔听了作家奥茨的经验,觉得深受启发。奥茨说:“对于情绪这种东西,你千万不能依赖它,从一定意义上来说,写作本身也可以产生情绪。有时,我感到疲惫不堪,精神全无,连五分钟也坚持不住了。但我仍然强迫自己写下去,而且不知不觉地,在写作的过程中,情况完全变了样。”哈里认识到,要实现一个目标,你必须呆在能够实现目标的地方才行。要想写作,就非在打字机前坐下来不可。在卫生间或花园里,永远都写不出什么。他马上行动起来。他制订了计划,每天都坚持写。经过了长达20xx年的努力,他的长篇小说终于问世了,这本小说就是我们今天读到的经典名著—《根》,哈里因此书获得了美国著名的“普利策奖”。

这个故事给人的启示是:如果我们要做成一件大事,就必须付出艰辛和全身心的投入。许多人没有成功,只是因为太容易放弃自己的努力。当我们要失去信心的时候,不妨自问一句:为什么不能再坚持一会儿?

第三篇《5分钟造就一生》:卡尔。华尔德曾经是美国近代诗人、小说家和出色的钢琴家爱尔斯金的钢琴教师。有一天。卡尔给爱尔斯金教课的时候,忽然问他:“你每天总共要练习多长时间钢琴?”爱尔斯金说:“大约三四个小时。”“你每天练习间隔的时间都很长对吗?”“我想是这样,每次差不多一个小时,至少也是半个小时以上。我觉得这样才好。”“不,不要这样!”卡尔说:“你将来长大以后,每天不会有很长的空闲时间。你应该养成一种用极少时间练习的习惯,一有空闲就几分钟几分钟地练习。比如在你上学之前,或在午饭之后,或在工作的休息中间,哪怕5分钟也去练习一下。把短时间的练习分散在一天里。如此弹钢琴就成了你日常生活中的一部分了。”14岁的爱尔斯金因为听了卡尔的忠告,使自己日后得到了不可估量的益处。后来爱尔斯金当了哥伦比亚大学的教师。他用卡尔教他的积少成多的办法创作了长篇小说。他的授课工作虽然每天都很繁重,但是他每天仍有许多可利用的短暂余暇用来写作和练习钢琴。爱尔斯金惊奇地发现,每天无数个几分钟的时间,足够他完成创作和弹钢琴两项工作,而且最后都取得了丰硕的成果。

这个故事给人的启示是:当“没有时间”成为我们无所作为的借口时,平庸就会伴随我们一生。如果我们总想用一块完整的时间去做一件事,那我们可能永远一事无成。时间像海滩上的沙粒,要一点一点地抓取,积累很多的时候,我们才知道它的分量。
