这是抄自一段英文的演讲,为什么要记录下这段话,因为前面说了至今我都没啥出息。也许是给现在的自己一点安慰亦或者一点激励与信心。让我不会对生活失去信心,不会对未来充满绝望。也许真的如下文所说我的时间点还没到吧。(其实后期我又读到过一篇文章说:牛逼的人早就开始牛逼了)两文相冲,心中只有一句MMP,但我还是希望给与大众的多是激励与希望。
校长:
好了,请大家往前看。早上好,十一年级的同学们。早上好。今天是关于你们新的征程和余生开始的集会。两年时间你们会完成你们的毕业考试。三年时间你们会穿行世界各地学习,在你们选择的大学里学习。五年时间你们会开始职业生涯。这个房间中的大多数人会为全球顶尖机构工作。你们会结婚,然后可能买套房.十年时间你们的生活就会稳定。十五年时间你们的人生道路就有了定数。
不好意思,校长,让我来告诉为什么你思考方式是失败的。
我知道有的人21岁毕业了直到27岁才开始工作。我知道有的人25岁毕业就找到了工作。我知道有的人没有上大学却在18岁找到了他们喜爱的。我知道有的人刚毕业就找到了薪水不错的工作,但不是他们喜爱的。我知道有的人利用空档年找到了自己的目标。我知道有的人16岁就知道他们要干什么,却在26岁改变了他们的想法。我知道有的人有了孩子却依然单身,有些人结了婚却要等8到10年才要孩子。我知道一些恋爱中的人爱着别人。我知道有的相爱的人却不能在一起。
因此我的观点是所有生活中的事情都是根据我们的时间而发生的。
你可能看到你的一些朋友领先于你,或落后于你,但所有事情的发生都有他们自己的节奏,有他们自己的时间点。要有耐心。
马克库班25岁还在酒吧当服务员。罗琳.J.K在被出版社拒绝了12次后直到32岁才发行哈利波特。奥尔特加39岁时创办了ZARA 。杰克马35岁才创立阿里巴巴。摩根弗里曼52岁才遇到大的突破。史蒂夫·卡瑞尔在40岁之后才有了重大突破 。维珍是由34岁的理查德·布兰森创办的。
25岁后得到学位仍然是一个成就。30岁之后结婚但是幸福美好。35岁之后建立家庭,40岁买房仍然伟大。不要让其他人的时间线来催促你。正如爱因斯坦说的:“不是所有重要的事情都能被计算,也不是所有被计算的东西都真正的重要。”
这才是最重要的事,我希望你们能够为自己创造有意义的、有目标的、充实的生活,并学会如何利用这些来影响和改变他人的生活。那才是真正的成功。
Headmaster: Alright, everyone looking forward please.Good morning ,year elevens .Good morning.Today's assembly is about the start of journey,the start of the rest of your lives.In two years time all of you will be finishing your A levels.In three years time you'll be studying across the world ,studying at the university of your choice.In five years time you'll have started your careers.Many of you will be in this room working for the top institutions across the globe.You will then get married ,you then may buy a house.In ten years time your life will be set for you .In fifteen years you'll be thirty and from then on your path,your life will be set. Another one: I'm sorry Mr. Headmaster ,let me tell you why that approach may fail you. I know people who graduated at 21 and din't get job until they were 27.I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately.I know people who never went to university,but found what they love at 18.I know people who found a job straight out of college making decent money,but hate what they do.I know people who took gap years and found their purpose.I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16,they change their mind at 26.I know people who have children but are single and i know people who are married but had to wait 8 to 10 years to have children.I know people in relationships who love someone else.I know people who love each other but aren't together. So my point is everything in life happens according to our time ,our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that they are ahead of you ,maybe some of them you feel are behind,but everything happens at their own pace.They have their own time and clock and so do you .Be patient At age 25 Mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas. It took till 32 for J.K.Rowling to be published for Harry Potter after being rejected by 12 publishers.Ortega launched ZARA when he was 39. Jack Ma started Alibaba when 35 .Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52. Steve Carell only got his big break after 40 years old . Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34. Getting your degree after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful .Starting a family after 35 is still possible and buying a house after 40 is still great .Dn't let anyone rush you with their time lines.Because as Einstein said:"Not everything that counts can be counted and not evrything that's counted truly counts". And this is the most important thing ,I want you to be able to create meaningful ,purposeful, fulfilling lives for yourselves and learn how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others.That will be true success.
