i was back to square one—and feeling the pressure.
so now you’re probably thinking—if it was gonna be this difficult, why’d i even accept today’s invitation in the first place?
well, you know my son goes here. that’s a good reason. and i always like to check to see how my money’s being spent.
and i’m sure there’s some parents out there who can relate to what i’m talking about!
and there were other good reasons for me to show up.
sure, i got an academy award… but i never had something called “magic meatballs” after waiting in line for half an hour at a food truck.
true, i’ve talked face-to-face with president obama… but i never met a guy named “kweeder” who sings bad cover songs at smokes on a tuesday night.
yes, i’ve played a detective battling demons… but i’ve never been to a school in my life where the squirrel population has gone bananas, breaking into the dorm rooms and taking over campus. i think i’ve even seen some carrying books on the way to class!
so i had to be here. i had to come… even though i was afraid i might make a fool of myself.

here’s what i mean:
reggie jackson struck out twenty-six-hundred times in his career—the most in the history of baseball.
but you don’t hear about the strikeouts. people remember the home runs.
fall forward.
thomas edison conducted 1,000 failed experiments. did you know that?
i didn’t either—because #1,001 was the light bulb.
fall forward.
every failed experiment is one step closer to success.
you’ve got to take risks. and i’m sure you’ve probably heard that before.
but i want to talk about why it’s so important.
i’ve got three reasons—and then you can pick up your iphones.
first… you will fail at some point in your life. accept it. you will lose. you will embarrass yourself. you will suck at something. there is no doubt about it.
that’s probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony. but, hey, i’m telling you—embrace it.
because it’s inevitable.

dress me up in army fatigues. throw me on top of a moving train. ask me to play malcolm x, rubin hurricane carter, alonzo from training day: i can do all that.
but a commencement speech? it’s a very serious affair. different ballgame. there’s literally thousands and thousands of people here.
and for those who say—you’re a movie star, millions of people watch you speak all the time…
… yes, that’s technically true. but i’m not actually there in the theater—watching them watching me.
i’m not there when they cough… or fidget… or pull out their iphone and text their boyfriend… or scratch their behinds.
from up here: i can see every single one of you. and that makes me uncomfortable.
so please, don’t pull out your iphone and text your boyfriend until after i’m done.
but if you need to scratch your behinds, go right ahead. i’ll understand.
thinking about the speech, i figured the best way to keep your attention would be to talk about some really, juicy hollywood stuff.
i thought i could start with me and russell crowe getting into some arguments on the set of american gangster…
… but no. you’re a group of high-minded intellectuals. you’re not interested in that.
or how about that “private” moment i had with angelina jolie half naked in her dressing room backstage at the oscars?… who wants to hear about that?
i don’t think so. this is an ivy league school. angelina jolie in her dressing room…?

i should know: in the acting business, you fail all the time.
early in my career, i auditioned for a part in a broadway musical. a perfect role for me, i thought—except for the fact that i can’t sing.
so i’m in the wings, about to go on stage but the guy in front of me is singing like pavarotti and i am just shrinking getting smaller and smaller...
so i come out with my little sheet music and it was “just my imagination” by the temptations, that’s what i came up with.
so i hand it to the accompanist, and she looks at it and looks at me and looks at the director, so i start to sing and they’re not saying anything. i think i must be getting better, so i start getting into it.
but after the first verse, the director cuts me off: “thank you. thank you very much, you’ll be hearing from me.”
the next part of the audition is the acting part. i figure, i can’t sing, but i know i can act.
but the guy i was paired with to do the scene couldn’t be more overdramatic and over-the top.
suffice to say, i didn’t get the part.
but here’s the thing: i didn’t quit. i didn’t fall back.
i walked out of there to prepare for the next audition, and the next audition, and the next one. i prayed and i prayed, but i continued to fail, and i failed, and i failed.
but it didn’t matter. because you know what? you hang around a barbershop long enough—sooner or later you will get a haircut.
you will catch a break.
last year i did a play called fences on broadway and i won a tony award. and i didn’t have to sing for it, by the way.
and here’s the kicker—it was at the court theater, the same theater where i failed that first audition 30 years prior.
the point is, every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed.
but do you have guts to fail?
here’s my second point about failure:
if you don’t fail… you’re not even trying.
my wife told me this expression: “to get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.”
les brown, a motivational speaker, made an analogy about this.
imagine you’re on your deathbed—and standing around your bed are the ghosts representing your unfilled potential.
the ghosts of the ideas you never acted on. the ghosts of the talents you didn’t use.
and they’re standing around your bed. angry. disappointed. upset.
“we came to you because you could have brought us to life,” they say. “and now we go to the grave together.”
so i ask you today: how many ghosts are going to be around your bed when your time comes?
you invested a lot in your education. and people invested in you.
and let me tell you, the world needs your talents.
man, does it ever.
i just got back from four months of filming in south africa—beautiful country, but there are places with terrible poverty that need help.
and africa is just the tip of the iceberg.

in fact… if you really want to know the truth:
i had to come… exactly because i might make a fool of myself.
what am i talking about?
well, here it is:
i’ve found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.
nothing.
nelson mandela said:
“there is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that’s less than the one you’re capable of living.”
i’m sure in your experiences—in school… in applying to college… in picking your major… in deciding what you want to do with life—people have told you to make sure you have something to “fall back on.”
but i’ve never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.
if i’m going to fall, i don’t want to fall back on anything, except my faith. i want to fall… forward.
at least i figure that way i’ll see what i’m about to hit.
fall forward.

graduates of the class of 20xx, family members, and friends:
good morning. it’s a privilege to be here with you today. commencement is a time of beginnings and endings; of looking to the future with hope while saying farewell with both joy and, perhaps, nostalgia. it is a jumble of emotions for all of us – and a field-day for a psychologist! enjoy all those feelings: it’s hard to imagine you’ll have an experience quite like this again.
so, there is a wonderful yale tradition that i would like to honor right now:
so, may i ask all of the families and friends here who are today to rise and recognize the outstanding – and graduating – members of the class of 20xx?
and now, may i ask the class of 20xx to consider all those who have supported your arrival at this milestone, and to please rise and recognize them?
thank you!

“good morning, sir. my name is…”打招呼和过场基本是必须的。
“i’m , i’m , and i’m very .”按照我们的传统思维,自我夸耀一番也是难以避免的。但是这真的好吗?
如果说自我夸耀是正常的,那么就有99%的人在面试时这么做了。然而,那么多人都用一样的措辞自夸,真的会有积极的效果?就怕非但没有积极效果,反而让人觉得你很浮夸,尽说大话很不可靠。而且,老外们对此更加在意,一听到某些单词,说不定就触碰到“雷区”,马上say “good bye”了。
这里有10个单词,不适合在面试的时候形容自己。看看你有没有如此自夸的习惯吧。
1. generous(宽宏大量的)
肚量是看在旁人眼里的,并不是喊出来的,尤其是不适合从自己的嘴巴里喊出来。真正心胸开阔的人,从不会炫耀,也不会索取别人的称赞。他们就不认为自己的心胸气度如此广阔,因为他们觉得他们还能做得更多。
2. humble(谦恭的)
认为自己很谦虚的人其实并不谦虚,因为真正谦虚的人从不称赞自己谦虚。如果你真要让别人了解自己有多谦虚,就在言语中表现出自己的谦和吧,千万不要直接就说“其实啊,我这个人很谦虚的”。你听到别人这么说,会怎么想?
3. self-disciplined(严格自律的)
自律是好事,但是如果自律过了头,会给别人什么印象?不懂变通,缺乏弹性,死脑筋,不好相处……你身边有没有对待自己特别严格的人?你觉不觉得这样的人太硬不太好相处呢?所以别说自我要求特别严格了,职场不如军队,不需要铁一般的纪律,这样反而会让人觉得你缺乏人性化的变通,也难以沟通。
4. passionate(充满激情的)
热情从来不是喊出来的,而是在实际工作中做出来的。说得好听比做什么都容易,千万别让人觉得你只是嘴巴上特别有干劲而已。另外,热爱工作是好事,但是太过于热爱工作,会让人担心你是否会做出什么过激的举动。而且,如果让别人觉得你动不动就满怀激情地工作,这样你的同事也会很累。
5. witty(机智幽默的)
一般很机智又有幽默感的人,是不会刻意这么称赞自己的,除非他擅长说冷笑话。想想,如果一个人对你说“你知道吗?我是个很机智幽默的人”,你的反应一定是两个字——呵呵。真正机智幽默的人,在谈吐间就能让别人感受到了,用得着挑明了说吗?这反而是愚笨的自夸。

the answer is no. i could have brought myparents to a new place for buffet breakfast on an awesome autumn sunday morning, i could have bought a suv in xiamen and move them around. i didn’t, due to various restrictions.
would i choose a different path had we got achance to turn the clock back to the time when i was in my early 20s? i don't thinkso. let me tell you why.
i quite agree with the following the quote fromb. j. neblett.
“we are the sum total of our experiences. thoseexperiences – be they positive or negative – make us the person we are, at anygiven point in our lives.”
part of the reasons why we are who we are todayis those experiences and those people we have encountered over the years. in hindsight, i can’t even tell whether certain decisions i have made, certain paths i have taken, are right or wrong. we may regret for those things we didn’t do enough. what we can is to make up for it within our capacity while it is in time, while your parents are still alive, while your kids haven’t entered puberty stage.
over to you, toastmaster.
