斯坦福写给被拒学生：漫漫人生路，大学为何物?
THIS AFTERNOON, my office sent out over 34,000 email notifications to high school seniors who applied Regular Decision and were waiting with anticipation to learn whether they would be invited to spend the next four years at Stanford.
在今天下午，我们的招生办公室向3万4千多名申请我们常规录取的盼望着想在斯坦福度过自己四年大学生涯的高中学生发出了邮件。
Even though I have been in the admission field for over 30 years, I still feel quite a bit of pain at the end of this week (as I do each year) about the many exceptional youths who were not offered a space in the class. I also expect that in the following weeks I will hear from parents who are understandably distraught that their sons and daughters with top high school class rankings, very high SAT scores and some truly impressive extracurricular accomplishments were denied entry.
即便我已经负责招生工作长达30年之久，在这个周末，我依然为那些没能如愿以偿拿到offer的年轻人而感到遗憾。同时，我也能预见到很多家长会因为自己的孩子有着十分优异的教育背景，很高的SAT成绩但最终被斯坦福拒绝而感到心烦意乱。
Clearly, I believe that a Stanford education is wonderful, but my experience suggests it’s often parents who are more upset about our admission decisions than the kids. I can relate to their concerns: I found myself getting jittery as my own daughter waited for her college application decisions. But given that today’s teens already have enough pressure in their lives, I wish to impart three credos to these parents.
我一直相信斯坦福的教育水平是无与伦比的。但我的'经验告诉我，当这些孩子被斯坦福拒绝的时候，他们家长会比他们更感到沮丧。我能体会到这些家长的感受。当我的女儿在等待大学的录取决定时，我也曾经紧张和不安。现今的孩子们已经承受了太多的压力，在这里，我想与所有家长分享三条理念
First, it's all relative. While the number admitted into the undergraduate class has remained unchanged for years, Stanford, like many of its peer schools, has had a record number of total applicants – more than 42,000. Regardless of arguments over whether too much preference is given to one category over another, thousands of students are going to be turned away, and there is no doubt that the vast majority of them could have met the demands of a Stanford education. We could, for instance, have filled incoming classes four or five times over with applicants who achieved grade point averages of 4.0 or greater.
首先，一切都是相对的。虽然每年录取的本科生人数已经保持不变数年之久，斯坦福像他同一级别的其他学校一样，每年会收到超过420xx份申请。先不管录取时对申请人资质的侧重和倾向问题，每年都会有数千学生会被无情的拒绝掉。毫无疑问的是，这些被拒掉的学生中，绝大多数是符合斯坦福的申请要求的。实际上，有着GPA4.0的申请者的数量是我们实际录取人数四到五倍。
I wish there were a formula to explain who is accepted and who isn’t, but the decision-making is as much art as it is science. Each class is a symphony with its own distinct composition and sound; the final roster is an effort to create harmony, and that means that some extraordinary bass players don’t get a chair. What’s more, even among my staff there are legitimate differences about applicants. The bottom line: The world is not going to judge anyone negatively because they didn’t get into Stanford or one of our peer institutions.
as you slowly open your eyes,look around,notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully,see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit,and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
yes,yes,yes,it’s a new day,it’s a different day,and it’s a bright day!and most importantly,it is a new beginning for your life,a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions,take new actions,make new friends,and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!
in your mind’s eye,you can see clearly the things you want to have,the paces you intend to go,the relationships you desire to develop,and the positions you aspire to reach.
you can hear your laughters of joy and happiness on the day when everything happens as you dream.
you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes.
you can feel your face is getting red,your heart is beating fast,and your blood is rushing all over your body,to every single corner of your being!
you know all this is real as long as you are confident,passionate and committed!and you are confident,you are confident,passionate and committed!
you will no longer fear making new sounds,showing new facial expressions,using your body in new ways,approaching new people,and asking new questions.
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion,and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
you will never waver in your pursuit of r all,you are the best,and you deserve the best!
as you coach and friend,i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you,but the key to that door is in your must do your part,you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan,you must never quit,you must never fear.i know you must do it,you can do it,you will do it,and you will succeed!now stand firm and tall,make a fist,get excited,and yell it out:
i must do it!i can do it!i will do it!i will succeed!

remember that we have just moved into the building, regardless of the weekend, or at 10: 00 to the company, you will find our this building always lights, as bright as day. i think at that time, the premier for his annual unit gdp energy consumption reduced by 4% goals; and our late night nobody when lighted, why can't we do some contribution for the premier goal?
i think back and forth to oneself, toss and turn restlessly, then president gao ruibin wrote an email, attached the photo, suggested, we should find better energy-saving measures to reduce energy consumption for countries to make our contribution. high total in his busy schedule to see my messages, promptly forwarded to an associated organization and colleagues.
we think, in which after what has changed?
so long, i see every night 9: 00, 10: 00, in our building will be the property of staff to inspect each floor, power off.
to this year july 10th, our office at 7 : 30 after lighting will be automatically closed. see the satisfactory change, i gave a high total wrote an email, attached 2 photos, one is at 11 : 00 then we motorola mansion; it shows our lighting power supply have been almost completely closed, with the last picture really is my not. another photo of our neighbors, a canadian company's mansion; displayed above their lighting like we were building a year ago that way, as clear as daylight ... ...
high total gave me the reply that the name is corporatesocialresponsibility csr, corporate social respons
ibility, not just the company, as well as each employee 's responsibility. only we work together, we will continue to uphold the company of equality, open, inclusive, innovative spirit, innovation in science and technology continue to forge ahead on the road; our society will be more harmonious.

when i was young,i always dreamed that i lived in a beautiful country. there were many flowers and trees around our city.we counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. the streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! how nice it was!but that only was a dream of mine!how i wish that it would be come true! so i think we should do something to protect our environment. everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.
taking care of our environment is very important.wherever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.
have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground?have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?have you ever spat in a public place?have you ever cut down trees?if your answers are "no",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.
it is our duty to keep our envionment clean and tidy. you might ask yourself,"have i ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?have i ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?have i ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"if your answers are"yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
now i want to say :let`s do our best to make our world more beautiful!
Dear teacher, dear classmates：
Good morning !
Someone said “we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite”. I don't know who wrote these words, but I've always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. We are all in the position of the farmers. If we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
We are young. “How to spend the youth?” It is a meaningful question. To answer it, first I have to ask “what do you understand by the word youth?” Youth is not a time of life, it is a state of mind. It's not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. It's the matter of the will. It's the freshness of the deep spring of life.
A poet said “To see a world in a grain of sand, and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour. Several days ago, I had a chance to listen to a lecture. I learnt a lot there. I'd like to share it with all of you. Let's show our right palms. We can see three lines that show how our love.career and life is. I have a short line of life. What about yours? I wondered whether we could see our future in this way. Well, let's make a fist. Where is our future? Where is our love, career, and life? Tell me.Yeah, it is in our hands. It is held in ourselves.
We all want the future to be better than the past. But the future can go better itself. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened. From the past, we've learnt that the life is tough, but we are tougher. We've learnt that we can't choose how we feel, but we can choose what about it. Failure doesn't mean you don't have it, it does mean you should do it in a different way. Failure doesn't mean you should give up, it does mean you must try harder.
As what I said at the 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, let's be the owners of ourselves, and speak out “We are the world, we are the future.”
there is a poem written by langston hughes hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die,life is a broken-winged bird. that can never fly.hold fast to dreams, for if dreams go, life is a barren field,frozen with snow. how beautiful it is. yes, we shouldn’t give up our dreams.we shouldn’t give in to the large pressure on the way to realize our dreams.how shall we dorobert h. goddard gave us the answer, “it is difficult to say which is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and reality oftomorrow” youth is not a time of life，it is a state of mind; it is not a matter ofrosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees， it is a matter of the will, aquality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals. years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry,fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart there is a wirelessstation: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, you and i will remain young. when the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are upto catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may have young heart at 80.
青春不是生命的一瞬，它是一种自然的心境；青春不是如花的脸庞、鲜红的嘴唇和健康柔润 的双腿，它是一种意志、想象、精力，更是生命中那生机勃勃的春天。 青春是冲动的勇敢而不是懦弱,青春是挑战的欲望而不是安逸的生活。即使年过花甲,壮心不已.没有人痴长百岁,而伴随着的是我们抛却幻想,锤炼生活的经历。岁月让我们的皮肤起了皱纹,但缺乏激情会让我们的灵魂萎缩。焦虑、恐惧、缺乏自信让心稽首，更让心灵的青春尘封。无论60岁还是16岁，我们每个人都有着天生的好奇心、孩子般刨根追底不厌其烦的渴求欲望、幻想游戏人生的生活方式。在你我心中有着心灵的默契：只要我们的心还能从人们的身上和大自然的怀抱中感受到美丽、希望、快乐、勇气和力量，那么我们依旧年轻无限。当幻想破灭，而你愤世嫉俗，对生活充满悲观情绪，那么你已经老了。即使在20岁的时候，只要你积极乐观的追求你心中的幻想，一直到永远，那么你在80岁的时候仍有一颗永保青春的心。

Every one of us,rich or poor,should at least have one or two good friends will listen to me when I want to speak,will wipe my eyes when I cry,will take care of me when I am sick,and my friends will go together with me side by side through this journey of life.
as you slowly open your eyes,look around,notice where the light comes into your room;listen carefully,see if there are new sounds you can recognize;feel with your body and spirit, and see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
yes, it's a new day,it's a different day,and its a bright day!and most importantly,it is a new beginning for your life,a beginning where you are going to make new desicisions, take new actions,make new friends,and take your life to a totally unprecedented level!

Dear teacher,classmates：
Good morning everyone！
Everyone wants success. But what is success? Generally, people think success is a great deal of money, high position, academic achievement, and so on. However, most of these people never really define what success means to them. In my opinion, success is a feeling, which makes you happy and content.
Success is a feeling, that means success is not considered as big or small, high or low. It is just a good mood from your heart. Maybe passing a final test is a success for a student, learning to walk is a success for a little child, marrying a beautiful girl is a success for a lad, signing a contract is a success for a company. Success varies from individual to group.
Success is a feeling, that means success is changing since your childhood. While you were a little child, you thought it was a success that your parents finally bought you lovely toys after you begged again and again. Success is the feeling you had when you were told that you won the contest. After graduation, you started working. You were successful when you finished a complicated task very well and you were praised. When married, maybe a happy marriage and a happy family meant success for you. When your child grew up, you hoped he or she attend a famous university or go abroad to study or work, at that time you considered that was your success. When you were old enough and couldn’t work at all, success was a feeling that your children and grandchildren came to see you from a long distance. Actually, success always accompanied you in your growth.
However, we have to admit that you can’t be successful all the time. We always meet many difficulties on the way to success. The more difficult it is, the much happier we are when we succeed.
To be successful, we should have a clear aim and then try our best to reach it. Wherever you go, whatever you are, your success belongs to yourself. It is a good feeling that you love it very much, and it really can make you laugh from the heart.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, it is really my honor to sand here and my topic is Chinese Dream. As is known to all, recently Chinese Dream has become a hot topic around our country which is inspired by President Xi ’s Chinese Dream, everyone talked enthusiastically about his understanding of the Chinese Dream. We all believe that this dream will come true in the future.
As a contemporary college student, Chinese dream is a word too big to understanding. As for my own dream, I have always wanted to be a teacher. Not only because teachers can help students know more about the world, but also because they are doing a respectable job. Teachers can also help people to live a better life with their professional knowledge.
Our new president said: the Chinese dream is a dream of national strength prosperity and people's happiness. He also expounded his views of realizing our great dream. I always ask myself what I can do for our great Chinese dream. As we all know that the wiser the youths are, the stronger the nation will be. I just want to say I am very tiny but I am indispensable. I believe that as long as all of our university students unite together and perform our own functions and study hard in school and work hard after we graduating from university. We must be able to achieve our great dream, and meanwhile do something for our country.
Forty years ago, when Mr. Martin Luther King fell down, his words “I have a dream” spread across the world. But, you must know that there is not just an English version of it. In the distant East, in the China that has held on for thousands of years, there is also a dream. It belongs to every ordinary Chinese. It is “I have a dream” written in Chinese.
I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please don t even bother asking. Don t bother telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.
I hate that word — lucky It cheapens a lot of hard work.
I spend my nights just sitting and reading a book and drinking my tea and walking my dog. That s about as exciting as my life gets.
[on his dwarfism] When I was younger, definitely, I let it get to me. As an adolescent, I was bitter and angry and I definitely put up these walls. But the older you get, you realize you just have to have a sense of humour. You just know that it s not your problem. It s theirs.
Any swagger is just defense. When youre reminded so much of who you are by people - not a fame thing, but with my size, constantly, growing up - you just either curl up in a corner in the dark or you wear it proudly, like armor or something. You can turn it on its head and use it yourself before anybody else gets a chance.
You can say no. You can not be the object of ridicule.
Saying I was lucky negates the hard work I put in and spits on that guy who’s freezing his ass off back in Brooklyn.
I love animals. All animals. I wouldn t hurt a cat or a dog — or a chicken, or a cow. And I wouldn t ask someone else to hurt them for me. That s why I m a vegetarian.
I was fortunate enough to have an upbringing that made me more accepting of who I am.
George Martin is an incredible writer.
I dress and eat like a fifth-grader, basically. I like sandwiches and cereal and hooded sweatshirts.
Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious.
So I won t say I m lucky. I m fortunate enough to find or attract very talented people. For some reason I found them, and they found me.
Bad guys are complicated characters. It s always fun to play them. You get away with a lot more. You don t have a heroic code you have to live by.
I think a lot of great male comic actors are introspective, quiet personalities, which I really admire. But they are really able to turn it up when the camera s on.
I like playing the guy on the sidelines. They have more fun.
My family had a habit of collecting creatures that didnt always want to be pets. The first animal I can remember was a Lab named Zoe.
Call me Elf......one more time!
I don t socialize. I m kind of a hermit. The life of an actor can be very lonely.
I feel really lucky, although I hate that word - lucky .
I think if actors are successful at one thing, they paint themselves into a corner sometimes, and what s the fun in that?
I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn t... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.
That s one of the things about theater vs. film - with theater, actors have a little more control, and one of the disappointing things about films is that once you re done shooting, anything can happen, you know?
Animals on factory farms all face pain and fear, just like the animals we share our homes with, yet are repeatedly abused in shocking ways.
I love working with the same actors repeatedly. That happens a lot. It s kind of inevitable, especially if you work with the same writers and directors and you start to form a company of actors. You gravitate towards each other.I never lived in an abandoned railroad station.
I was opposed to doing TV for a long time because I thought the quality of writing wasn t very strong, as opposed to film, but there s been a shift in term of the quality of scripts. HBO has attracted a tremendous amount of great writing talent.
Game of Thrones is an amazing show, and I have no problem speaking of the virtues of HBO.
Maybe everyone is a little too reassuring that things are going to be OK to college graduates. It gives them a false sort of security.
