the presence of students, ladies and teachers, everyone! i was prepared intervals of cloud today, in honor here entitled "technology and future"
speech, i am very proud of both, but some unease. in recent years, we have seen our great motherland, the cause of the rapid development of technology, which allow me to a chinese i feel very proud. remember that long ago, cell phone use almost the only one, which is called, but a few years ago, cell phones has undergone great changes, not only look more beautiful, but also use more, you can use the phones to take pictures, meetings, internet, text
messages, etc. a series of things that i their life more convenient, so i am more aware of the strength of the technology, but i am just a fledglings students, "technology"
as the word also aware of the limited, i am unable to use some very difficult theory to elaborate technology xuanji, no right to work on their elders i can promise of the technology blueprint. but i am willing to use a student’s perspective to the imagine technology and the future.
from genetic engineering "is a live princes"
dream, nano-
technology "- not washing your clothing,"
promises;
from artificial intelligence "will give you a cute robot dog"
warm, transgenic
technology "let people grow mouse ears"
wonders. the new technology in the birth of a new technology that will let people wild with joy, because these new technologies is gradually improving our lives, let us learn more about ourselves. in the near term, china completed its first sars virus genome sequencing, sars is now the world’s largest recognized the dangers of the disease, but why not other countries completed first, and we just completed the countries? very simple, this illustrates that our country backward than others, worse than others, we look at the past, had just started a country’s reform and
opening up to the current level of science and technology has lead a large country, our motherland experienced a number of ups and downs, how many difficulties and bumpy however, we still back all of the motherland, the motherland because we firmly believe that - not only technological change destiny, can change the future.
for our generation, the general feeling of the community is a strong sense of competition, learning a foot down. science knowledge is the focus of our attention, albert einstein, and stephen hawking, bill gates is the star we have in mind, computer science, physics and chemistry of modern dynamic is constantly affect us. we have to understand the importance of technology, know that the technology universal.
although technology to create a new life prospects soliciting thoughts, inspiring. however, the final analysis is that we rely on our common efforts to realize. ， as the future construction of the backbone of our generation of young people shoulders the burden is not light, new opportunities are always accompanied risks and
challenges, but we will not give up that easily, we use our youth to predecessors vowed: never live up to their predecessors of our hope. looking back at the history of civilization, anderson is the history of mankind against the darkness of ignorance, is the
scientific lit a fire in the raging human soul of hope;
technology support civilization, science and technology to create the future, but the future is in our hands. let us become knowledge explorers, let us unknown roaming on the road, let me use our creativity to the world we live a better place.

在场的学生们，女士们，老师，大家好！我准备间隔云今天，为了纪念在这里题为“科技与未来”的讲话，我感到非常自豪的两个，但有些不安。近年
来，我们已经看到我们伟大的祖国，事业的迅速发展，技术，请允许我向中国我感到非常自豪。请记住，很久以前，手机应用几乎只有一个，这是所谓的，但在几年前，手机发生了很大变化，不仅看起来更漂亮，而且还更多地使用，您可以使用手机拍照，会议上，互联网，短信等一系列的事情，我的生活更方便，所以我更多地了解的力量，技术，但我只是一个幼鸟学生， “技术”作为也知道这个词的有限，我无法使用一些非常困难的理论阐述技术xuanji ，没有权利对他们的长辈的工作我可以保证的技术蓝图。但我愿意利用学生的观点，以创新技术和未来。
从基因工程“是一个生活王子”的梦想，纳米技术“不洗你的衣服， ”承诺，从人工智能“会给你一个可爱的机器狗”热情，转基因技术“让人们增长鼠标耳朵”奇观。这项新技术的诞生，一种新技术，将让人们欣喜若狂，因为这些新技术正在逐步改善我们的生活，让我们更多地了解自己。
honorable judges, ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
first of all, let me take this chance to present to you a set of data that i hope won't bore you since the source is china daily.
china's tourism revenue last year reached 500 billion rmb, an increase of 10.5 percent from the year before, and comprised more than 5% of china's gdp. according to experts, this number will grow to 8% in the coming ten years and more than 40 million jobs will be created.
as a student majoring in economics, i can't be more sensitive to the essential meanings behind these numbers. they mean progress, prosperity, employment and stability.
however, as a conscientious chinese and citizen of the world, i can't help but care more about the losses incurred in this transaction, by which i mean the disturbing images of environmental destruction, which leads to ecological crisis. the global environment has changed for the worse during the past few years, and tourism is partly to blame. take china for example, in order to attract tourists, many unknown places are built into resorts. forests are cleared, prairies trampled, rivers and lakes 6)contaminated, wild animals are driven away, plants jeopardized and secluded populations disturbed.
if this seems too remote and abstract, my own traveling experience may speak louder here. last year i took a tour around emei mountain in sichuan province. like most tourists, i was eager to embrace nature and enjoy its beauty. however, as soon as i got on the bus, the stench of gasoline and the noise of the engine tainted my appreciation of the wonderful scenery and the tranquility of the country road. when we finally arrived, what i saw was not a beautiful landscape but crowds of people; what i heard was not the melodious singing of birds, but yelling and bargaining from the gift shops; what i smelled was not the fresh mountain air, but stinking suffocating smoke coming out of small dirty restaurants. moreover, i could not understand why the lovely monkeys living there had to take photos with tourists all day; why the beautiful butterflies and flowers had become lifeless samples in shop windows; why the strongest impressions i had was trash scattered everywhere on the ground.
however, this is not the end of the story. before i left emei, i met a group of kids in an ecotourism program with the slogan: “experiencing, learning and protecting.” when i saw their young hands picking up trash from the ground, when i felt their enjoyment and harmonious relationship with the animals, when i found their purest eyes filled with passion and love for nature, i realized to my great satisfaction that there doesn't have to be a tradeoff between tourism and ecology, because deep within us is an inclination toward natural beauty and a desire to protect it. yes, environmental problems will eventually ease with the advancement of science and technology and improvement of our management system. however, an increase of ecological education and hands-on environmental involvement of our fellow citizens will do even better. to realize this, the best way for us lies in tourism itself because nothing other than nature can teach us how to love and cherish our sweetest home. at the end of my speech, please let me quote bob dylan:
how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky?
how many years can a mountain exist before it's washed to the sea?
the answer, my friend, is not in the wind-the answer is ours! thank you!
The president:
Hello, everybody! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. All right, everybody go ahead and have a seat. How is everybody doing today? (applause.) How about tim spicer? (applause.) I am here with students at wakefield high school in arlington, virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across america, from kindergarten through 12th grade. And i am just so glad that all could join us today. And i want to thank wakefield for being such an outstanding host. Give yourselves a big round of applause. (applause.)
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if you're a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now -- (applause) -- with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you're in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer and you could've stayed in bed just a little bit longer this morning.
I know that feeling. When i was young, my family lived overseas. I lived in indonesia for a few years. And my mother, she didn't have the money to send me where all the american kids went to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with an american education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, monday through friday. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.
Now, as you might imagine, i wasn't too happy about getting up that early. And a lot of times, i'd fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever i'd complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and she'd say, "this is no picomic for me either, buster." (laughter.)
So i know that some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But i'm here today because i have something important to discuss with you. I'm here because i want to talk with you about your education and what's expected of all of you in this new school year.
Now, i've given a lot of speeches about education. And i've talked about responsibility a lot.
I've talked about teachers' responsibility for inspiring students and pushing you to learn.
I've talked about your parents' responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and you get your homework done, and don't spend every waking hour in front of the tv or with the xbox.
I've talked a lot about your government's responsibility for setting high standards, and supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren't working, where students aren't getting the opportunities that they deserve.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, the best schools in the world -- and none of it will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put in the hard work it takes to succeed. That's what i want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education.
I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide.
Maybe you could be a great writer -- maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper -- but you might not know it until you write that english paper -- that english class paper that's assigned to you. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor -- maybe even good enough to come up with the next iphone or the new medicine or vaccine -- but you might not know it until you do your project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a supreme court justice -- but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
And no matter what you want to do with your life, i guarantee that you'll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? you want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? you're going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You cannot drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You've got to train for it and work for it and learn for it.
And this isn't just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. The future of america depends on you. What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and aids, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical-thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents and your skills and your intellect so you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you don't do that -- if you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country.
Now, i know it's not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what it's like. My father left my family when i was two years old, and i was raised by a single mom who had to work and who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us the things that other kids had. There were times when i missed having a father in my life. There were times when i was lonely and i felt like i didn't fit in.
So i wasn't always as focused as i should have been on school, and i did some things i'm not proud of, and i got in more trouble than i should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
But i was -- i was lucky. I got a lot of second chances, and i had the opportunity to go to college and law school and follow my dreams. My wife, our first lady michelle obama, she has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn't have a lot of money. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.
Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don't have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job and there's not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don't feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren't right.
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- none of that is an excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude in school. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. There is no excuse for not trying.
Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up. No one's written your destiny for you, because here in america, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.
That's what young people like you are doing every day, all across america.
Young people like jazmin perez, from roma, texas. Jazmin didn't speak english when she first started school. Neither of her parents had gone to college. But she worked hard, earned good grades, and got a scholarship to brown university -- is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to becoming dr. Jazmin perez.
I'm thinking about andoni schultz, from los altos, california, who's fought brain cancer since he was three. He's had to endure all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer -- hundreds of extra hours -- to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind. He's headed to college this fall.
And then there's shantell steve, from my hometown of chicago, illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods in the city, she managed to get a job at a local health care center, start a program to keep young people out of gangs, and she's on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
And jazmin, andoni, and shantell aren't any different from any of you. They face challenges in their lives just like you do. In some cases they've got it a lot worse off than many of you. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their lives, for their education, and set goals for themselves. And i expect all of you to do the same.
That's why today i'm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education -- and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time each day reading a book. Maybe you'll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you'll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like i do, that all young people deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you'll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, by the way, i hope all of you are washing your hands a lot, and that you stay home from school when you don't feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.
But whatever you resolve to do, i want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.
I know that sometimes you get that sense from tv that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality tv star. chances are you're not going to be any of those things.
The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject that you study. You won't click with every teacher that you have. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
That's okay. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who've had the most failures. J.k. rowling's -- who wrote harry potter -- her first harry potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "i have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why i succeed."
These people succeeded because they understood that you can't let your failures define you -- you have to let your failures teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn't mean you're a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. If you get a bad grade, that doesn't mean you're stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
No one's born being good at all things. You become good at things through hard work. You're not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don't hit every note the first time you sing a song. You've got to practice. The same principle applies to your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right. You might have to read something a few times before you understand it. You definitely have to do a few drafts of a paper before it's good enough to hand in.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength because it shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and that then allows you to learn something new. So find an adult that you trust -- a parent, a grandparent or teacher, a coach or a counselor -- and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.
And even when you're struggling, even when you're discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you, don't ever give up on yourself, because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
The story of america isn't about people who quit when things got tough. It's about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
It's the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and they founded this nation. Young people. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded google and twitter and facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
So today, i want to ask all of you, what's your contribution going to be? what problems are you going to solve? what discoveries will you make? what will a president who comes here in 20 or 50 or 100 years say about what all of you did for this country?
Now, your families, your teachers, and i are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I'm working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books and the equipment and the computers you need to learn. But you've got to do your part, too. So i expect all of you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don't let us down. Don't let your family down or your country down. Most of all, don't let yourself down. Make us all proud.
Thank you very much, everybody. God bless you. God bless america. Thank you. (applause.)
I want to discuss with you this afternoon why you're going to fail to have a great career. (Laughter)
今天下午我想和你们讨论一下你为什么不会成就伟业。(笑声)
I'm an economist. I do dismal. End of the day, it's ready for dismal remarks. I only want to talk to those of you who want a great career. I know some of you have already decided you want a good career. You're going to fail, too — (Laughter) — because — Goodness, you're all cheery about failing. (Laughter) Canadian group, undoubtedly. (Laughter) Those trying to have good careers are going to fail, because, really, good jobs are now disappearing. There are great jobs and great careers, and then there are the high-workload, high-stress, bloodsucking, soul-destroying kinds of jobs, and practically nothing in between.
我是个经济学家。我让人心情低落。一天过完了，准备好听听让人心情低落的评论。我只想和你们想要成就伟业的那些人谈。我知道你们有些人已经决定了你们想要一个成功的事业。你们也会失败的-(笑声)-因为-天呐，你们听到失败都这么高兴。(笑声)无疑是加拿大人。(笑声)想事业有成的人会失败，因为，真的，现在好工作都在消失。有好工作，和好事业，也有工作量大，压力大，吸食血液，侵蚀灵魂的那种工作，而且几乎没有工作能好点的。
So the people looking for good jobs are going to fail. I'm going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why you're going to, why you're going to fail. First reason is that no matter how many times people tell you, "If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion, you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue, the greatest fascination in your life," you hear it again and again and then you decide not to do it. It doesn't matter how many times you download Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address, you still look at it and decide not to do it.
所以想找好工作的人会失败。我谈谈那些寻找伟业的人，你们为什么要寻找，为什么会失败。第一个原因是不管多少次别人告诉你，“如果你想成就伟业，你就必须追随你的热忱，你必须追随你的梦想，你必须追随你人生中最大的吸引，“你听过这句话一遍又一遍，然后你决定不去这样做。不管你下载多少次Steven J在斯坦福大学的开学演讲，你还是看看然后决定不去做。
I'm not quite sure why you decide not to do it. You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard. You're afraid if you look for your passion and don't find it, you'll feel like you're an idiot, so then you make excuses about why you're not going to look for your passion. And they are excuses, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to go through a whole long list, your creativity, and thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career.
我不太确定你为什么决定不去做。你太懒了。这事太难。你害怕如果你去寻找梦想然后找不到，你会觉得你像个白痴，所以你给自己找借口，为什么你不去追寻你的梦想。这些都是借口，女士们先生们。我们要列一个长单子，你的创造力，想想你不去做成就伟业该做的事情的借口。
So, for example, one of your great excuses is, "Well, great careers are really and truly, for most people, just a matter of luck, so I'm going to stand around, I'm going to try to be lucky, and if I'm lucky, I'll have a great career. If not, I'll have a good career." But a good career is an impossibility, so that's not going to work.
所以，举例来说，你众多借口之一是，“嗯，伟业实际上对于大多数人来说只是运气问题，所以我就在这待着，我就试试做那个幸运的人，然后如果我真幸运的话，我就能成就伟业。如果不能，我就找个还不错的事业。”但是没有还不错的事业，所以这个行不通。
Then, your other excuse is, "Yes, there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are geniuses. They are Steven J. I'm not a genius. When I was five, I thought I was a genius, but my professors have beaten that idea out of my head long since." (Laughter) Mm? "And now I know I am completely competent." Now, you see, if this was , being completely competent, that would have given you a great career. But guess what? This is almost , and saying to the world, "I am totally, completely competent," is damning yourself with the faintest of praise.
然后，你还有其他借口：“是的，有那些与众不同的人追寻自己的梦想，但是他们是天才。他们是Steven J.我不是天才。我五岁的时候以为自己是天才，但是我的教授们早就把这个念头打消了。“(笑声)嗯？ ”然后现在我知道自己完全有能力。“现在你看，如果这是在年，完全有能力，就能让你成就伟业。但是你知道么？现在几乎是年了，对世界说”我完全，绝对，有能力，“就是用最无力的称赞谴责你自己。
And then, of course, another excuse: "Well, I would do this, I would do this, but, but, well, after all, I'm not weird. Everybody knows that people who pursue their passions are somewhat obsessive. A little strange? Mm? Mm? Okay? You know, a fine line between madness and genius. I'm not weird. I've read Steven J.'s biography. Oh my goodness. I am not that person. I am nice. I am normal. I'm a nice, normal person, and nice, normal people don't have passion. Ah. But I still want a great career. I'm not prepared to pursue my passion, so I know what I'm going to do, because I have, I have a solution, I have a strategy. It's the one Mommy and Daddy told me about. Mommy and Daddy told me that if I worked hard, I'd have a good career. So, if you work hard and have a good career, if you work really, really, really hard, you'll have a great career. Doesn't that, like, mathematically make sense?" Hmm. Not. (Laughter) But you've managed to talk yourself into that.
然后，当然，另外一个借口：”嗯，我会做这个，我会做这个，但是，但是，嗯，毕竟，我不是个怪人。每个人都知道那些追寻自己梦想的人都多少有点强迫症。有点奇怪？嗯？嗯？好吧？你知道的，疯子和天才一线之隔。我不是个怪人。我读过Steven J的传记。我的天呐。我不是那种人。我是好人。我是正常人。我是正常的好人，而且正常的好人没有梦想。啊。但是我还是想要成就伟业。我还没准备好去追寻梦想，所以我知道我要做什么，因为我有办法，我有策略。就是爸爸妈妈告诉过我的那个。爸爸妈妈告诉我说如果我努力工作，我会有个不错的事业。所以，如果你努力工作，而且有个不错的事业，如果你工作特别特别特别努力，你就能成就伟业。这在数学上不是也成立么？“嗯…不是的。(笑声)但是你还是让自己信了这话。
You know what? Here's a little secret. You want to work? You want to work really, really, really hard? You know what? You'll succeed. The world will give you the opportunity to work really, really, really, really hard, but are you so sure that that's going to give you a great career when all the evidence is to the contrary?
你知道么？这有一个小秘密。你想工作？你想工作特别特别特别努力？你知道么？你会成功的。这个世界会给你机会去工作得特别特别特别努力，但是你就那么确信这能让你成就伟业即使所有的证据都指向另一边？
So let's assume, let's deal with those of you who are trying to find your passion. You actually understand that you really had better do it, never mind the excuses. You're trying to find your passion, and you're so happy. You found something you're interested in.
所以咱们假设，咱们来处理一下你们当中想追寻梦想的人。你实际上明白你最好这么做，抛开借口。你试图找到你的梦想，而且你这么快乐。你找到了你感兴趣的事。
I have an interest! I have an interest! You tell me. You say, "I have an interest!" I say, "That's wonderful! And what, what are you trying to tell me? That you — " "Well, I have an interest." I say, "Do you have passion?" "I have an interest," you say. Your interest is compared to what? "Well, I'm interested in this." And what about the rest of humanity's activities? "I'm not interested in them." You've looked at them all, have you? "No. Not exactly."
我有个兴趣！我有个兴趣！你告诉我。你说，“我有个兴趣！“我说，”太好了！“你想告诉我什么呢？ ”嗯，我有个兴趣。“我说，“你有热忱么？” “我有兴趣，”你说。你的兴趣和什么比较？ “嗯，我对这个感兴趣。”那其他一切的人类活动呢？ “我对那些没兴趣。”你把那些都看过一遍了？ “没有。不完全是。”
Passion is your greatest love. Passion is the thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent. Passion, interest — it's not the same thing. Are you really going to go to your sweetie and say, "Marry me! You're interesting." (Laughter) Won't happen. Won't happen, and you will die alone. (Laughter)
热忱是你最高程度的热爱。热忱是能帮助你最好地成就自己才华的事情。热忱，兴趣-不是一回事。你真的会去找你的甜心然后说，“嫁给我吧！你很有意思。“(笑声)不会发生的。不会发生，然后你会孤独终老。(笑声)
What you want, what you want, what you want, is passion. It is beyond interest. You need interests, and then one of them, one of them might grab you, one of them might engage you more than anything else, and then you may have found your greatest love in comparison to all the other things that interest you, and that's what passion is.
你想要的，你想要的，你想要的，是热忱。它超越兴趣。你需要个兴趣，然后它们其中一个，其中一个会抓住你，让你燃起激情。然后你就找到了与其他事情相比之下你最大的热爱，那就是你的热忱。
I have a friend, proposed to his sweetie. He was an economically rational person. He said to his sweetie, "Let us marry. Let us merge our interests."
我有个朋友，向他女友求婚。他是个会过日子的人。他对他女友说，“咱们结婚吧。让咱们融合利益。”
(Laughter)
(笑声)
Yes he did. "I love you truly," he said. "I love you deeply. I love you more than any other woman I've ever encountered. I love you more than Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope, Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel — I was on a German exchange program then." (Laughter) "I love you more than — " All right! She left the room halfway through his enumeration of his love for her. After he got over his surprise at being, you know, turned down, he concluded he'd had a narrow escape from marrying an irrational person, although he did make a note to himself that the next time he proposed, it was perhaps not necessary to enumerate all of the women he had auditioned for the part. (Laughter)
是的，他这么说的。 “我真心爱你，”他说，“我深深爱着你。我爱你胜过其他任何女人。我爱你胜过Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope, Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel-我那时候在一个德国的交换项目里。“(笑声) “我爱你胜过-”好的！她在他列举到一半的时候离开了房间。在他从被拒绝的惊讶中缓过来之后，他总结了他刚刚成功逃离和一个不理性的人结婚的厄运。虽然他也对自己说，下次求婚的时候，不必要列举所有过往的女朋友。(笑声)
But the point stands. You must look for alternatives so that you find your destiny, or are you afraid of the word "destiny"? Does the word "destiny" scare you? That's what we're talking about, and if you don't find the highest expression of your talent, if you settle for "interesting," what the hell ever that means, do you know what will happen at the end of your long life? Your friends and family will be gathered in the cemetery, and there, beside your gravesite will be a tombstone, and inscribed on that tombstone, it will say, "Here lies a distinguished engineer who invented Velcro." But what that tombstone should have said, in an alternative lifetime, what it should have said if it was your highest expression of talent, was, "Here lies the last Nobel Laureate in Physics, who formulated the Grand Unified Field Theory and demonstrated the practicality of warp drive."
但是这个论点是成立的。你必须寻找各种选择才能找到命中注定的那个，或者你害怕”命中注定“这个词么？ ”命中注定“这个词吓着你么？这就是我们要谈的，而且如果你找不到你才能的最高表达，如果你在”有意思“这里止步不前，不管这他 妈的是什么意思，你知道在你漫长的一生即将结束的时候会发生什么吗？你的亲友们聚集在墓地里，在这，你的坟边上有个墓碑，这个墓碑上刻着字，说，”此地长眠着一位发明了Velcro的杰出工程师。“但是这个墓碑上也应该刻着，在一个平行时空里，如果这是你才能的最高表达它就应该刻着，”此地长眠着一位诺贝尔物理学奖得主，他规范了”大统一场论“并且示范了曲速引擎的实用性。”
(Laughter) Velcro, indeed. (Laughter)
(笑声) Velcro,确实。(笑声)
One was a great career. One was a missed opportunity. But then, there are some of you, in spite of all these excuses, you will find, you will find your passion, and you'll still fail.
一个是伟业。一个是失掉的机会。但是，你们当中有些人，抛开这些借口，你们会找到，你们会找到自己的热忱，然后你们还是失败了。
You're going to fail, because, because you're not going to do it, because you will have invented a new excuse, any excuse to fail to take action, and this excuse I've heard so many times. "Yes, I would pursue a great career, but I value human relationships more than accomplishment. I want to be a great friend. I want to be a great spouse. I want to be a great parent, and I will not sacrifice them on the altar of great accomplishment."
你会失败，因为，因为你不会着手去做，因为你会想出新的借口，任何让你只说不做的借口，而且这个借口我已经听过很多次了。 “是的，我会追求一番伟业，但是相比成就，我更看重人与人之间的关系。我想做一个好朋友。我想做一个好伴侣。我想做一个好父母，而且我不会为了伟大的成就而牺牲这些。”
(Laughter)
(笑声)
What do you want me to say? Now, do you really want me to say now, tell you, "Really, I swear I don't kick children." (Laughter) Hmm? Look at the worldview you've given yourself. You're a hero no matter what, and I, by suggesting, ever so delicately, that you might want a great career, must hate children. I don't hate children. I don't kick them. Yes, there was a little kid wandering through this building when I came here, and no, I didn't kick him. (Laughter)
你们想让我说什么？现在，你们真的想让我说，告诉你们，“真的，我发誓我不踢小孩。”(笑声)嗯？看看你给自己定的世界观。无论如何你都是个英雄，然而我，通过暗示，这么小心翼翼地，说你可能想要成就伟业，一定痛恨小孩。我不恨小孩。我不踢他们。是的，刚才我来的时候有个小孩走过来，我没踢他。(笑声)
Course, I had to tell him that the building was for adults only and to get out. He mumbled something about his mother, and I told him she'd probably find him outside anyway. Last time I saw him, he was on the stairs crying. (Laughter) What a wimp. (Laughter)
当然，我不得不告诉他这个楼是给大人的，他得出去。他含糊地说他妈妈什么的，然后我跟他说他妈估计在外面找他呢。我上次看到他的时候他正在台阶上哭呢。(笑声)真是个懦夫。(笑声)
But what do you mean? That's what you expect me to say. You really think, you really think it's appropriate that you should actually take children and use them as a shield? You know what will happen someday, you, you ideal parent, you? The kid will come to you someday and say, "I know what I want to be. I know what I'm going to do with my life." You are so happy. It's the conversation a parent wants to hear, because your kid's good in math, and you know you're going to like what comes next. Says your kid, "I have decided I want to be a magician. I want to perform magic tricks on the stage." (Laughter)
但是你是什么意思？这就是你们期待我说的。你真的认为，你真的认为拿小孩当挡箭牌合适吗？你知道有一天会发生什么，你，完美的父母，对吗？你的孩子有一天会跟你说，“我知道我想做什么。我知道我想怎么度过一生。”你特别高兴。这种对话父母最爱听了，因为你的孩子数学好，而且你知道你会爱听你孩子接下来的话。你孩子说，“我决定了我想做个魔术师。我想在舞台上表演魔术。” (笑声)
And what do you say? You say, you say, "Umm … that's risky, kid. Might fail, kid. Don't make a lot of money at that, kid. You know, I don't know, kid, you should think about that again, kid, you're so good at math, why don't you — "
然后你说什么？你说，你说，“嗯…那样比较不保险，孩子。有可能会失败，孩子。挣不了大钱，孩子。你知道的，我不知道，孩子，你应该再想想，孩子，你数学这么好，为什么不-“
And the kid interrupts you, and says, "But it is my dream. It is my dream to do this." And what are you going to say? You know what you're going to say? "Look kid. I had a dream once, too, but — but." So how are you going to finish the sentence with your "but"? "… But. I had a dream too, once, kid, but I was afraid to pursue it." Or, are you going to tell him this? "I had a dream once, kid. But then you were born." (Laughter)
然后你孩子打断你，说，”但是那是我的梦想。我梦想就是成为魔术师。“然后你要说什么？你知道你要说什么吗？ ”你看，孩子，我过去也有过梦想。但是-但是。“所以你想怎么用”但是“结束你的句子？ ”…但是，我过去也有过梦想，孩子，但是我没敢去追随。“还是，你想告诉他这个？ ”我过去有梦想，孩子。但是之后你出生了。“(笑声)
(Laughter) (Applause)
(笑声)(掌声)
Do you, do you really want to use your family, do you really ever want to look at your spouse and your kid and see your jailers? There was something you could have said to your kid when he or she said, "I have a dream." You could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said, "Go for it, kid, just like I did." But you won't be able to say that because you didn't. So you can't. (Laughter)
你真的，真的想利用你的家庭，你真的想把你的伴侣，和你的。孩子当成狱卒吗？你其实可以这么跟你孩子讲。当他/她说”我有个梦想“的时候，你可以说，面对你的孩子，说，”去追随它吧，孩子，就像我那样。“但是你没法那么说，因为你没去追随梦想。所以你不能那么说。(笑声)
And so the sins of the parents are visited on the poor children. Why will you seek refuge in human relationships as your excuse not to find and pursue your passion? You know why. In your heart of hearts, you know why, and I'm being deadly serious. You know why you would get all warm and fuzzy and wrap yourself up in human relationships. It is because you are — You know what you are.
然后父母的罪恶就在可怜的孩子们身上应验了。你为什么把人际关系当成你不去追随你的热忱的借口？你自己知道为什么。在你内心的内心，你知道为什么，而且我现在非常严肃。你知道你为什么会在人际关系中层层包裹自己。这是因为你是-你知道你是什么。
You're afraid to pursue your passion. You're afraid to look ridiculous. You're afraid to try. You're afraid you may fail. Great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career. Is that not a package? Is that not who you are? How can you be one without the other? But you're afraid.
你不敢去追求梦想。你害怕自己看起来像个疯子。你不敢去尝试。你害怕失败。好朋友，好伴侣，好父母，伟业。不是打包在一起的吗？这难道不是你？你怎么能符合其中一个却不符合另一个？但是你害怕。
And that's why you're not going to have a great career, unless — unless, that most evocative of all English words — unless. But the unless word is also attached to that other, most terrifying phrase, "If only I had … " "If only I had … " If you ever have that thought ricocheting in your brain, it will hurt a lot.
这就是为什么你不会成就伟业，除非-除非，最引人回忆的词-除非。但是除非这个词和另外一个最可怕的短语是连着的，”如果我当初…“ ”如果我当初…“如果你曾经有过这个想法在你脑海里回旋，它会特别伤人。
So, those are the many reasons why you are going to fail to have a great career, unless …
所以，这些就是你为什么不能成就伟业的众多原因。除非…
Unless.
除非。
Thank you. (Applause)
谢谢。(掌声)
DENVER — Parents and survivors of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School are saying good things about an essay released Tuesday by the mother of shooter Dylan Klebold.
Susan Klebold made the most detailed public remarks by any parent of the two Columbine killers in an essay published in O, The Oprah Magazine. She said in the essay she had “no inkling” her son was suicidal or depressed.
The essay sparked strong emotions for Connie Michalik, whose son, Richard Castaldo, was shot and partially paralyzed in the rampage. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 23 others before killing themselves.
The shooters’ parents have said little in public since the massacre. They gave depositions in a lawsuit filed by victims’ families, but a judge in 20xx ordered those depositions sealed for 20 years after the case was settled out of court.
Survivors and their families have been left wondering about the boys’ parents in the decade since the shootings.
“You know, I always wondered how she felt and what she went through. ‘Cause I know I went through a living hell, and I was always sure she did, too,” Michalik told The Associated Press.
Michalik, who has never met Susan Klebold, said reading the essay answered some of her questions about the Klebold family.
“I applaud her for the courage to talk about this,” Michalik said Tuesday.
In the essay, Susan Klebold described the day of the shooting. She at first feared Dylan had been shot at school, not that he was one of the perpetrators.
Susan Klebold said the family was evacuated from their home the afternoon of the massacre because authorities feared even Dylan’s residence may have been rigged to explode. Still, she said, it took months for relatives to accept that the quiet boy who loved origami and Legos was to blame for the violence.
“We didn’t know that he and Eric had assembled an arsenal of explosives and guns,” Susan Klebold wrote. “We believed his participation in the massacre was accidental or that he had been coerced. We believed that he did not intend to hurt anyone.”
The magazine released excerpts from the essay last week and published the full text Tuesday.
A magazine spokeswoman said Susan Klebold has turned down several interview requests over the years but agreed several months ago to share an essay. There were no plans for her to appear on the show.
In an introduction to the essay, Oprah Winfrey told readers, “Since the day her son participated in the most devastating high school shooting America has ever seen, I have wanted to sit down with Susan Klebold to ask her the questions we’ve all wanted to ask — starting with, ‘How did you not see it coming?’ and ending with ‘How did you survive?’”
A spokeswoman for Susan Klebold has said there would be no further comment.
One of the shooting’s survivors, Krystal Miller, said Tuesday she has long had questions for the Klebolds but understood their silence.
“Over the years I would’ve loved to hear something,” said Miller, whose maiden name was Krystal Woodman. “But it sounds like she is still just reeling from it and processing it. So how is someone supposed to come out and give answers when they’re still trying to figure it out themselves?”
Good morning, dear teacher and fellow students. It’s my great honor to stand here and share a happy morning with you. Today my topic is “Haste makes waste”。
There is an old saying,” Haste makes waste.” It is the experience of our ancestors; however, it is correct in many cases even today.
如此）. If you only emphasize on speed but ignore the quality of your work, your will get the opposite effect.
Suppose you are preparing for your final examination. There are a lot of exercises to do and many notes to memorize. But you have not enough time to do this, so it makes you feel worried. Therefore, you have to read and write continuously（连续不断地）, without sleep and relaxation. The result by doing this is that your brain is less and less efficient, your process is slower and On the contrary, if you do your preparations with a calculated（适合的`） plan and carry out take part in the exams confidently with good preparations.
So, whatever you do, please remember the saying----Haste makes waste. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you?ll benefit a lot form it.
That’s all. Thank you!
However mean your life is, meet it and live it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise.
Love your life, poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours,even in a poorhouse.
The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich mans abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.
The towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without think that they are above being supported by the town;but it oftener happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable.
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends.Turn the old; return to them.
Things do not change; we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
God will see that you do not want society.If I were confined to a corner of a garret all my days,like a spider,the world would be just as large to me while I had my thoughts about me.
I am from class one, grade two. I feel very happy to stand here today to give a speech. Speaking of happiness, for us children, it may be a piece of sweet candy, it may be a beautiful dress, or it may be a novel toy. And this kind of happy feeling is often short, is there a long - term happiness? I would say yes, yes! That is a child has that is higher than the mountains, deeper than the sea of maternal love. Mother is the sun in my home, with her in, there is warmth. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning into the window, I opened the hazy eyes, see is the mother busy figure, ear heard is the mother urged me to get up. I enjoy my mother's love, like a happy bird every day happy heart.
Thank you!
Hello ， everyone ！
Let me have an introduction of myself 。 I think ， I am a special girl ！
My name is Hu. I am twenty 。 I come from the number one class of the Software and Technology College 。 I am the student in charge of organization in my class 。 I like smiling ， because I think it is the best way to get on well with others 。 I come from Nanjing ， a beautiful city 。
Now I am part-working and part-studying in the colleges canteen 。 One the one hand ， doing this part time job can bring financial support to me ， the burden of my parents will be greatly relieved 。 One the other hand ， it is an enrichment of my college life 。 Although it is a little tired ， I can insist on 。
Do you know where is my favourite place in our college ？ Of course the library 。 I like staying in the library 。 I like borrowing some books I like and reading quietly 。 I also like the circumstance ， pretty big ， quiet ， beautiful and full of the tastes of books ！
I hear many people say that their future looks blank 。 I do not think so 。 We must be confident in ourseleves 。 Where there is a will ， there is a way 。 And we also should remember that there is no royal road to learning 。
As an old saying goes ， attitude decides everything 。 I am bound up in many things such as reading ， studying ， playing sports and so on 。 As far as I am concerned ， now we should still put study in the first place 。We should first be accomplished in our lessons 。 Because knowledge equals to our power and ablity 。Without knowledge ，we can say nothing 。
It is certain that the college is a place where we can take part in many activities 。We can take advantage of the free time to enrich all sides of ourseleves ， not only the ablity of studying ， but also the ablity of communication 。
Constant ping weas away a stone 。 I think if you try your best ， you can get something unexpected 。
It is my personal thoughts ， only want to share with you 。

National Day is the birthday of our country.It’s on the first day ofOctober.It is my happy day,because I don’t need to go to school and have a restfor seven days.And my parents will take my elder sister and me out to play onnational day every year.This year my parents took us to amusement park.Havingbreakfast,we set out.When we arrived the destiny,it has already 11o’clock.
So wehad to have lunch and then entered the park.We played lot of things,such asgiant wheel,spacewalk,sea rover and so on.I like play sea rover the most.Atfirst,I despised of it.But when the ship started to shake,I was afraid todeath.I had to shout out to relieve my fears.When we got down on the ground,Ifound that my sister was pale around the gills.She said she would never playthis again.But I felt excited,though I was a little afraid of it.I would play itagain next time.It was a exciting and happy holiday.I will memorize itforever.
Everybody is good! The title of my speech today is, "reading, the habit of not losing."
In today's rapid development of science and technology, Internet, computers and television has become the mainstream of today's society, in the library, reading room, already can't see crowded situation, learning seems to be required for all students, school into social work we like to read more and more distant, the mainstream of life is now shifting from books to high-tech network, get information is intuitive, but never feel fun to read. The ancients had "read ten thousand books, the great wisdom of wanli road". In recent years both in China and western countries have been more and more attention to the importance of reading, let's start with the rapid development of science and technology today, slow down, quietly to enjoy reading the charm. On April 23, 1995, UNESCO called the day "world book day" to encourage people to discover the joys of reading and to enjoy the pleasure of reading. In 20xx, the day is 16 world reading day, this time only so order for is one of the world, just want to let people all over the world to remember today, every day to read a life habit, rather than just to commemorate and study.
China is a world-famous cultural country with a long history of culture. Ancient times, there are many stories about reading, kuang heng "authentic wall steal light", "capsule hotaru snow" CheYin hang beam, the sword of the shares of Sun Jinghe shu, ouyang xiu's "three" fan zhongyan studying reading, anecdotes, and so on, they are born, for die for books, for books, for books, for books and the poor, thin for books, and so on.
Books are the medium of civilization. It's a shortcut to the world. Is the inheritance of historical civilization;
Is the time tunnel leading to the entire universe... We have been the company of books since the first day of school, and it has become an indispensable part of life. Today we took to the social work, reading has become less important, also does not have to treat reading as a habit, in the practice work make me feel "books to time square hate less". Even though we often use the power of the Internet to find the material we want to use, we can only repeat the original action mechanically. We don't have our own thoughts in our minds, our own thoughts, and our own achievements. So let's pick up the book again and get down to the unique charm of the book. Find our own thoughts and achievements! MEDALS in our community has a can let you regain thinking and achievement, that is the library reading room on the third floor, there can be for us in their spare time reading books: content, up to the astronomical geography, historically, from the inside out, involved in all aspects by is readily available, let's become a habit of reading, have become a part of life, picked up the book in your hands, let us fly freely in the ocean of lifting HuiShu from today!
I’m so honored. I never expect there are so manypeople coming here to listen to my talk. And when I sitting there I feel so important. Thank you, thank you very much. Before my talk I would like to ask how many people here have used Alibaba services. Good, not many. [Laughs]. And how many of you here have never been to China? Never been, never been to China. Good, thank you very much.
Well, 20 years ago I came to America. My first trip to America, to Seattle. Before that I learned so much about America,frommy books,frommy teachers,frommy school, and my parents. And I think I know enough about America. But when I came to America I thought totally wrong. America is not what I learnedfromthe books. And in Seattle I found the Internet, and then I came back and tell my friends that I’m going to opena company called Internet. I invited 24 of my friends, had a two-hour discussion. And finally [unintelligible 00:01:19] we had a vote. 23 of them against me. “Forget about it. There’s no such kindof network called Internet. Don’t do it.” There’s only one person who said “Jack, I trust you. I don’t know what that is, but if you want to try it, go ahead, try it. Because you’re still young.” At that time I was 30 years old.
So I started my business, without knowing anythingabout computer, without knowing anything about business. I started myfirst company, my wife and I and a school mate. We borrowed [start]fromUS $1,000 we start the business. It was so difficult. I called myself like a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers. Jumping around for the past 20 years I survive today. For the first three years life was really bad. I remember I tried to borrow US $3,000fromthe banks. It took me three months asking any friends I know to borrow the money [unintelligible 00:02:22].Still failed, coz verybody said “Jack is telling a lie, because there’s nosuch network called Internetin 1996.”
So one day, later 1996, China was connected to the Internet. I invited ten media friends to my apartment. I want to tell them I’m not telling a lie. There isa network called Internet. We waited three hours and a half to see the first – to download the first picture. And people said “Is that thing going to work?” And I say “Yeah, it’ll work, but not today. In ten years it’ll work.” But at least it proved that I was not telling a lie.
I remember when we tried to help our all business tosell online. Nobody want to sell becausenobody come to buy. So first week we have seven employees, we buy and sell ourselves. The second week somebody start to sell on awebsite. We buy everything they sell. We have two rooms full of things we bought for New Year’s, [all garbage] for the first two weeks. In order to tell people that it works. It was not easy. Since 1995 to 1999 we failed. We go nowhere, our business, because nothing was ready. In 1999 I invited 18 friends of mine who came to my apartment. We decided to do it again. We callthe name. And people say why Alibaba? We believe Internetis a treasure island which opens sesame for all business. And we used Alibaba because it’s easy to spell, easy to remember. And we want to focus on helping all business.
Because at that time we see [unintelligible 00:04:26] commerce [with the] Americane-commerce they focus on helping onbig companies, they’re focusing on helpingbig companies to save the cost. We believed China we don’t have a lot ofbig companies, we have so many all business, and all business it’s so difficult for them to survive. If we can using Internetas a technology to help all business it’ll be fantastic. So we start to say if America is good at helpingbig companies, just like America is good at making basketball we should play pingpong in China, we should help the all guys. And we should not helping all guys to save cost, because all business know how to save the cost, but all business should learn how to make money. So our business is focusing helping all business to makemoney online.
And we want to makethe company last for 102 years. And people are curious – why 102 years? Because Alibaba was born in 1999, last year we had – last century we had one year, this century 100 years, next century one year. 102 across three centuries. We give a clear goal to any employees. Don’t say we are successful, no matter how much money we raised, no matter how much money we make, no matter how much we have achieved. Don’t forget we want to live 102 years. Now, 16 years passed, we have another 86 years to go. Because in next 86 years, if any time we die we’re never successful. When I heardthis clubis 108 years old I was surprised and shocked. There’s so much we can learnfromthat.
Well, today nobody believed that Alibaba could survive, because people say “You are [free], you’re tiny” and, you know, and especially when we talk about – when we IPO’d people say “Ah, you are Alibaba, you aree-commerce. You’re like Amazon.” Because in American point of view Amazon probably is the only business model fore-commerce. But no, we are different. The difference between us and Amazon is that we do not buy and sell, but we help all business to buy and sell. We have 10 million all business onour sitebuy and sell every day. And we do not deliver our packages, although – ourselves, though we have more than 2 million people help us to deliver over 30 million packages per day.
We do not own warehouses, but we manage tens and thousands of warehouses for other all, medium sizeddelivery companies. And we do not own inventories, but we do have more than 350 million buyers. We have more than 120 millionbuyers coming to shop every day onour site. And also, we sell – our revenue last – our sales last year were US$ 390 billion. And this year, possibly, we are going to be bigger than Walmart globally. And Walmart manage – that size of business have more than 2.3 million people; we growfrom18 people to today 34,000 people.
And the difference between Amazon and us the other is Amazon is a shopping center. Because heree-commerceis commerce, in Chinae-commerce is a lifestyle. Young people [unintelligible 00:08:08], they usinge-commerce to exchange ideas,they communicate, they build up the trust, they build up a record. It’s just like Starbucks – you never go to Starbucks to test how wonderful coffee is. It’s a lifestyle. And this is how Internete-commerce is changing China.
And what we felt proud of is not how much things we sell. I said this year we’ll be bigger than Walmart – yes, we are proud. We know in five years we will sell US$ 1 trillion. This is my goal, which we think possibly we will make it. We are proud of that but we are more proud because we create direct [and indirect] job, 14 million jobs for China. And we’ve created jobs in the countryside. We created a lot of jobs for women. Over 51 percent of the power sellers on the Internetare women.
So we feel so proud of that. And people say okay, now Alibaba did that. Whats your next? Whats your future cause you are everywhere. We, 80 percent of the buy and thesell onlineare created byour company. Our future is that we have to focus on globalizing our business. Its not only sell more things. We want to make, to globalize the infrastructure of eCommerce. Why InterneteCommerce grow so fast in China than in the USA? Because the infrastructureof commerce in China was too bad. Not like here. You have [Click] Motors. You have all the shops offline, Walmart, Kmart, everything everywhere. But in China we have nothing nowhere.
So eCommerce in the US is a dessert. Its complementary to the main business. But in China itbecomes the main course. We created the infrastructure. So we think if we globalize our infrastructure — the payment, the logistics center, the transparent platform all around the world. Helping the all business around the world to sell everywhere. Help the global consumers to buy everywhere. Our vision is in ten years we will help two billion consumers in the world toshop onlineanywhere in the world. Youreshopping onlinewith 72 hours youll receive the product. And anywhere in China youshop online, you will receive the products within 24 hours. And we think our globalization is still focused on helping all business. And helping them to do business in the most efficient ways. And we think that we will help another ten million business on our eCommerce platform.
We will empower them. Well give them the traffic. Well give them the payment system. Well give them the logistics system so they can do business anywhere easily and quickly. And we will help. We will have 40 percent of our business outside China. Today we only have two percent of our business outside China. So people keep on asking, now you are big. You raised that much money. Whats your play in America? People say well are you goingto come? When are you goingto come to invade America? When I goingto compete with Amazon? When I goingto compete with eBay? Well I would say we show great respect for eBay and Amazon. But I think the opportunity and the, the strategy for us is helping all business in America go to China, sell their products to China.
Today in China, the middle class for China is almost the same as the American population. And we think in ten years it will be more than half a billion Chinese people will be middle class. The demanding for middle class, the demanding for good products, good service was so powerful, so strong. And I think China today cannot afford the good products, good service to them. And then next is that China has been focused on exporting in the past 20 years. And I think next ten, ten-twenty years China we should be focusing on importing. Chinese should learn to buy. Chinese should spendthe money. Chinese should buy a lot of thingsfromglobally. And I think that American all business, American branded products you should use the Internet, go to China.
Past 20 yearsbig companies of America is already all over China. But its the great opportunity for using the eCommerce for all business to go to America. In the past years we have helped a lot of American farmers selling things to China. For example the Seattle cherries, you will never believe that the ambassador, the American ambassador to China, he came to us say, Jack can you help us to sell the cherries in Seattle. I say how can we sell cherries? The cherries still on the trees. And we started place order, 80,000 families booked the order. And when we got the order we ship, we pick up the cherries and ship to China within 24 hours 80,000 families, 160 tons of cherries were sold. And last year we sold over 300 tons of cherries. And I dont know whats this year about.
We also helped Alaska seafood. We helped Canada to sell the lobsters. The lobster we sold probably ten years they cannot sell. And we also have a lot of Americanbranded companies usingour siteto sell. Costcothe company, they sold 600 tons of nuts onour sitefor the first month. And for the first month theyre using Alibaba 6.5 million US dollars. So I think if we can help to sell lobsters, if we can help sell the cherries, why we cannot help these all, mediumsize companies to China using our system? So this is what I want, and also I want to take one day for example November, November 11th, the [Singles] Day. We make that a shopping day. Last year for that day we sold 9.7 billion US dollars. And for the first minute shopping we have 24 million people rushed in for the first minute. And this year we guess the number was scary, so mypurpose coming here that we need more American products to China.
We have a hungry 100 millionpeople coming to buy every day. So this is whywe come here. Wenot come hereto compete. We come here to bring the all business. My vision is that in ten, twenty years anywhere you buy anywhere, sell anywhere. Philippine people can buy salmon on Norway. Norway people can sell things to Argentina. Argentina can buy and sell to China. This is how the Internetis going to change. And lastly I want to say we have changed the China. We feel proud of that, and we think that the change, the power of change is so powerful. The first revolution of technology we have the,the organization of business called a factory. And had our first World War because of the strength of the arms and muscles. The second revolution energy, we havethe organizationcalled companies, and have the second World War.
This time Internet. The data, and I think we have a new business called platform. And the third World War is going to happen. And this war is not between nations, this war we work together against the disease, the poverty, the climate change. And I believe this is our future. The human being, the nations shall unite together. Rely on the young people using not the guns,using computers, using the data to solve the human problem, solve the society problems. And this is what Im passionate about. Its not about the money, its about dreams. Its not only the technology change the world, its the dreams you believe that change the world. And we know the way, the way is not easy. As I was told in the past 20 years doing Internetbusiness in China, today is difficult, and tomorrow is much more difficult. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful. Most people die tomorrow evening, if you dont work hard. Thank you very much.
This is a glass of water, tasteless, right? however if you add sugar, it will taste sweet, but if you add vinegar, it will become bitter. the same is true with our life the flavor is created by our choices.
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 hoosing 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.
My definition of success
Today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. what is success? it is what everyone is longing for.sometimes success would be rather simple. winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now i am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i don’t think so. i believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and , in the modern society there are many people
Who are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is real success. we all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, ause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? everyone has his own interpretation as i do. but i am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!
Wish you all good success!
how well are we in tune with the rhythm of life? in our busy day to day existence, we dont often stop to ask ourselves this question. at least i dont. and it wasnt until i joineda 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 friendwith 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 weaccomplished 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. andfromthe way the wind can both shout and whisper, we must learn when to be strongand when to be gentle, for everything moves in its own rhythm and its own yin and yang elements. it is the interaction ofthese complementary extremes that produces harmony, as laozi said, extremes meet. since the marathon, this notion of twooppositeforces 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.
Dear,
Nowadays, more and more graduate student step in society to find a satisfied job. At the same time, we have a serious problem. When these students were finding jobs, the male were easier to get a job than the female.
Now the discrimination in employment became a common phenomenon. Even the tall educational background daughter graduate student is also very difficult to find the good job.
In my opinion, the phenomenon should be eliminated. Maybe many things which need much physical strength to finish. In this aspect, male should be more popular than female. But in many other aspects, female shouldn’t be discriminated. Because female could do many things which men could do . As far as we know, the female’s IQ don’t be lower than man. So these employing units shouldn’t discriminate female. Contrary, the woman more careful than many male person . In some aspects, woman more acuter than man.
Generally speaking, female should get the same treat as male.
My speech is over. Thank you.

I deliberately and mysteriously said "secret."

Ladies and gentlemen,Good evening!It is my pleasure to stand before you today and talk about traditional festivals.
Festivals are an important part of world culture.They have been celebrated for thousands of years and are still an integral part of many societies today.Festivals are also an opportunity for people to come together,to celebrate,to express their culture,and to pass on traditions.
One important traditional festival in China is Spring Festival,also known as Chinese New Year.It is usually celebrated in late January or early February and lasts for 15 days.Families usually gather together to have a large meal on New Year’s Eve and exchange red envelopes with money inside.This festival is an opportunity for people to relax and spend time with their loved ones after a year of hard work.
Another important festival in China is the Mid-Autumn Festival,which is also known as the Moon Festival.This festival is usually celebrated in September or October when the moon is at its fullest.Families will get together to have a big meal and to enjoy the beautiful full moon.It is also a time to eat mooncakes,which are a traditional Chinese pastry filled with sweet or savory fillings.
In addition to festivals in China,there are also many festivals celebrated in other parts of the world.For example,Thanksgiving is a traditional festival in the United States.It is usually celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November and it is a time to give thanks for the harvest and for all the good things in life.Families usually gather together to have a large meal,with turkey as the main dish.
Halloween is another traditional festival in the United States.It falls on October 31st and it is a time to dress up in costumes,go trick-or-treating and carve pumpkins.It is believed to have originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain,which marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter.
In conclusion,traditional festivals are an important part of our heritage and culture.They give us a sense of belonging and a connection to our past.They also provide an opportunity for people to come together and celebrate.Whether it is Spring Festival in China or Thanksgiving in the United States,traditional festivals are a time to reflect on our values and traditions,and to enjoy the company of our loved ones.Thank you.
