商界大佬们最令人难忘的六大毕业典礼演讲
比尔•盖茨,哈佛大学,2007年 比尔•盖茨强调指出,在他数十年的受教育经历中存在一个盲区。他告诉哈佛大学的毕业生,第一次知道席卷全世界最贫穷社区的可治愈疾病的死亡人数时,他感到万分震惊。他说:“我不知道,发展中国家里有无数的人们生活在无法形容的贫穷和疾病之中。” “有了这样的了解之后,要是你再弃那些你可以帮助的人们于不顾,你就将受到良心的谴责,只需一点小小的努力,你就可以改变那些人的生活。” |
Bill Gates, Harvard University, 2007 Bill Gates highlighted a blind spot in his education that persisted for decades. “I knew nothing about the millions of people living in unspeakable poverty and disease in developing countries,” he told Harvard’s graduates, recounting how he was stunned when he first encountered the death tolls from curable diseases that had ravaged the world’s poorest communities. “You have awareness of global inequity, which we did not have. And with that awareness, you likely also have an informed conscience that will torment you if you abandon these people whose lives you could change with very little effort.” |
