第一篇：奧普拉·溫弗瑞 講稿

她是私生子，卻被母親遺棄

奧普拉是一個私生子，從小跟媽媽一起生活。難以置信的是，9歲時候，她受到了自己堂兄的侵犯，年幼的她默默忍受了。不懂世事的她因為缺乏教育和管理，14歲那年，她意外懷孕了，連孩子的父親是誰都不知道；更不幸的是，沒過幾年，孩子便早夭了，她又重歸墮落。她的童年生活，簡直可以用悲慘來形容。

或許是因為私生子的關系，從小母親便對她不好。犯了一點小錯便會受到母親的責罵。缺乏良好的教育，再加上母親對她置之不理，惡性循環(huán)，小奧普拉一步步走向墮落。她的母親難以忍受她，便將她送到了父親的身邊。可作為一個私生子，又是黑人，她又能有多好的待遇呢？

父親和繼母對她嚴加管教，有時候甚至以不學習不讓吃飯來威脅她。離開了拋棄她的母親，好在堅強的她并未放棄自己，接受著這來之不易的改造機會。

她仿佛是個灰姑娘，可她沒有絕美的面龐，沒有好心的精靈，她只有自己。于她而言，王子并不是改變人生的關鍵，她在功課上特別努力，并且最后考上了大學，贏得了田納西州小姐的桂冠。她在大眾眼里確實并不美麗，甚至屬于長得很丑的類型。幸運的是，當時的評審看中了她的機智和才華。認為她是一個可塑之才。而這才華遠遠勝過光有美貌的其他人。也正是她出色的口才，為她后來贏得了著名廣播公司的青睞。

長得太丑，去整容都無人接收

畢業(yè)后的她很快有了一份工作，卻并未得到她意料中的反饋，于是，她被調職了。與此同時，她的領導要求她去整容，因為她的相貌不符合當時黑人美女的要求。可悲并且無奈的是，連整容醫(yī)生看到她的臉都覺得無藥可救，不想給她做手術。

這看似幸運，卻又像是赤裸裸的嘲諷。然而成功怎會是朝夕之間的成就呢？

若容貌是阻礙，便用才華披荊斬棘，若挫折是機遇，便要越挫越勇。

看臉的時代又怎么樣，她就算沒有一張美臉照樣可以活得很出色。調職后的她更加發(fā)奮努力，很快她就掌握到了要領，迅速打響名氣，成為紅極一時的女主持人。芝加哥美國廣播公司也因此注意到了她，以23萬美元的年薪將奧普拉招致麾下。她是灰姑娘，但要當?shù)氖桥畬㈩I，而不是公主

雖然她已經名聲大噪，但是在那個時候，女人和黑人仍然是容易被看輕的。傳媒行業(yè)日新月異，倘若不創(chuàng)新，停滯不前，她很快就會被取代，這樣的危機感促使著她對節(jié)目不斷進行著改革。

在她眼中，傳統(tǒng)從來都不是桎梏，而是用來被打破的東西。

第一個創(chuàng)新者總是面臨著更多的阻礙，可她從未卻步。她渴望更成功、更優(yōu)秀，她這位灰姑娘與生俱來就是要成為一名女將領，而非公主。

在她的節(jié)目里，也沒有固定形式。不是一對一面對鏡頭開始審問試的訪談，有時會布置成晚宴的形式，讓參與的嘉賓能夠做到完全放松和信任自己，當成自己久違的好友一樣促膝長談。甚至每每在談到自己的時候，也毫不避諱提及不堪回首的過去。

黑色玫瑰，也能發(fā)出耀眼光芒

“奧普拉脫口秀”成為她的個人品牌，直到今天一直占據(jù)著美國“脫口秀”節(jié)目的頭把交椅。

她憑借個人魅力，邀請得了從不輕易上節(jié)目的流行天王邁克爾·杰克遜，而邁克爾也在她的節(jié)目中真正披露心聲，甚至第一次坦言他的皮膚讓人難以理解地變白，是因為罹患白癜風。

《我心永恒》的演唱者席琳·迪翁曾24次登上奧普拉脫口秀，美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬曾攜夫人參加節(jié)目，第一夫人米歇爾的50歲生日，更是在奧普拉的別墅中度過的。

能夠達到如此成就，已經可謂是人生贏家了。

多年的拼搏仿佛已經成為了慣性，她無法停下前進的腳步。越是從黑暗中走出來的人越是懼怕黑暗。哪怕她敢于在節(jié)目中袒露自己混沌的過往，可是經歷再怎樣久遠，也會留下一抹疤痕。

可是堅毅的人，就能憑借自己的努力，讓疤痕變?yōu)閯渍隆Ｅ碾娪啊⒊鰰⒆鰝髅焦荆肋h都沒有停止腳步。結交了世界名流，順利躋身上層社會，獲得各類殊榮。現(xiàn)在，再也沒有人會嘲笑她長得丑。就算曾經有再多的黑歷史，現(xiàn)在也已經靠自己的努力完全洗白。那些黑歷史不是她屈辱的過往，而是前行的動力。對大眾來說，奧普拉已經是成功女人的典范，可是對她來說，成功始終是下一個目的地。

一個人想要徹頭徹尾、由內而外的改變，最重要的影響因素還是她自己。“做一件事最好的時機是十年前，其次是現(xiàn)在。”當別人都否定你的時候，自己一定要記得肯定自己。

終有一天，你的所有努力都會得到回報，即使不被大眾所熟知，你也會成為你自己的英雄。當你再回首，你會感謝當時不言放棄的自己。

有些人走到kirby面前，對kirby說：“我的天啊，那是gayle king嗎？”kirby說：“嗯，她是我媽媽。”然后人們說：“我的天啊，難道說，你認識oprah winfrey。”kirby說：“有點吧。” i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof.i have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey with me on all fours.so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus.and im so happy to be here, just happy that i finally, after four years, get to see her room.theres really nowhere else id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, who graduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other in psychology.love you, kirby cakes!thats how well i know her.i can call her cakes.我說：“有一點。你有一點認識我”。我還有照片為證。我可以把kirby 和我騎馬時的照片e-mail給你們。因此我不僅僅只是有點認識kirby bumpus。我非常高興來到這里，因為四年來我第一次來到她的寢室。我為kirby感到自豪，因為她獲得了人類生物學和心理學的雙學位。這就是我多么的了解她。我可以叫她cakes。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and her brother, will.i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would say, im getting ready to go to stanford.我為她的父母感到驕傲，她的父母給了她很大幫助，還有她的哥哥will。我對kirby大學四年真的沒有什么幫助。但是在過去的幾周里，每當人們問我在做什么時，我都會說：“我正準備去斯坦福” i just love saying stanford.because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford.i went to tennessee state university.but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit.and i figured, im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.because by that point, i was already on television.id been in television since i was 19 and a sophomore.granted, i was the only television anchor person that had an 11 oclock curfew doing the 10 oclock news.我就是喜歡這樣說stanford（用一種奇怪的語調）。因為這是真的，我知道根本不會拿到我的學位，因為我沒有去斯坦福念書。我去了tennessee 州立大學。但是我本來不會拿到我的畢業(yè)證，因為我本應該在1975年畢業(yè)，但是我少了一個學分。我認為我還是會忘了這件事。你們知道，我不會比得上我的同班同學。因為我已經上了電視。我在19歲還是大學二年級的時候就已經上了電視。我是唯一一個電視節(jié)目主持人，雖然有11點的宵禁，卻做著10點鐘的新聞。seriously, my dad was like, well, that news is over at 10:30.be home by 11.but that didnt matter to me, because i was earning a living.i was on my way.so, i thought, im going to let this college thing go and i only had one credit short.but, my father, from that time on and for years after, was always on my case, because i did not graduate.hed say, oprah gail—thats my middle name—i dont know what youre gonna do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, i have my own television show.嚴肅地說，我爸爸告訴我，“好吧，新聞10：30結束。11點之前到家。”但是這對我并不重要，因為我已經自食其力了。我在走我自己的路。所以我想，我不能讓關于我大學的那件事就這么過去，我還少一個學分。但是我的父親從那時起卻成了問題。由于我沒有畢業(yè)，他總是說：“oprah gail（我的中間名字），我不知道沒有學位你能做些什么。”然后我說：“但是，爸爸，我已經有我自己的電視節(jié)目啦。” and hed say, well, i still dont know what youre going to do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, now im a talk show host.hed say, i dont know how youre going to get another job without that degree.篇三：奧普拉2008年在斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮的演講

脫口秀女王奧普拉2008年在斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮的演講

奧普拉·溫弗瑞：

美國著名的脫口秀主持人。其主持和制作的節(jié)目《奧普拉脫口秀》（the oprah winfrey show，又譯作《奧普拉·溫芙瑞秀》、《奧普拉秀》、《歐普拉·溫芙瑞秀》、《歐普拉秀》等），是美國歷史上收視率最高的脫口秀節(jié)目。同時，它也是美國歷史上播映時間最長的日間電視脫口秀節(jié)目。從1986年12月8日至今，這個節(jié)目已經走過了20多個年頭，播放了多達3000多集。北京時間2009年11月20日，據(jù)國外媒體報道，在播出了23年之后，《奧普拉脫口秀》將于2011年9月9日結束。thank you, president hennessy, and to thetrustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the stanford graduates.thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.hennessy校長，全體教員，家長，還有斯坦福的畢業(yè)生門，非常感謝你們。感謝你們讓我和你們分享這美好的一天。

我決定透漏一個小秘密給大家來作為這次演講的開始。這個秘密就是kirby bumpus，斯坦福2008年的畢業(yè)生，是我的義女。所以當hennessy校長讓我來做演講時，我受寵若驚，因為自從kirby來這上學以來，這是我第一次被允許到斯坦福來。

正如你們知道的那樣kirby是一個非常聰明的女孩。她說，她希望大家通過她自己的努力了解她，而不是她認識誰。因此她從來不希望每一個第一次見到她的人知道她認識我。當她和她媽媽第一次來到斯坦福參加開學典禮時，我聽說每個人都十分熱情。他們說：“我的天啊，那是gayle king”。因為很多人都知道gayle king是我最好的朋友。

有些人走到kirby面前，對kirby說：“我的天啊，那是gayle king嗎？”kirby說：“嗯，她是我媽媽。”然后人們說：“我的天啊，難道說，你認識oprah winfrey。”kirby說：“有點吧。”

i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof.i have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey with me on all fours.so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus.and im so happy to be here, just happy that i finally, after four years, get to see her room.theres really nowhere else id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, who graduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other in psychology.love you, kirby cakes!thats how well i know her.i can call her cakes.我說：“有一點。你有一點認識我”。我還有照片為證。我可以把kirby 和我騎馬時的照片e-mail給你們。因此我不僅僅只是有點認識kirby bumpus。我非常高興來到這里，因為四年來我第一次來到她的寢室。我為kirby感到自豪，因為她獲得了人類生物學和心理學的雙學位。這就是我多么的了解她。我可以叫她cakes。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and her brother, will.i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would say, im getting ready to go to stanford.我為她的父母感到驕傲，她的父母給了她很大幫助，還有她的哥哥will。我對kirby大學四年真的沒有什么幫助。但是在過去的幾周里，每當人們問我在做什么時，我都會說：“我正準備去斯坦福” i just love saying stanford.because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford.i went to tennessee state university.but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit.and i figured, im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.because by that point, i was already on television.id been in television since i was 19 and a sophomore.granted, i was the only television anchor person that had an 11 oclock curfew doing the 10 oclock news.我就是喜歡這樣說stanford（用一種奇怪的語調）。因為這是真的，我知道根本不會拿到我的學位，因為我沒有去斯坦福念書。我去了tennessee 州立大學。但是我本來不會拿到我的畢業(yè)證，因為我本應該在1975年畢業(yè)，但是我少了一個學分。我認為我還是會忘了這件事。你們知道，我不會比得上我的同班同學。因為我已經上了電視。我在19歲還是大學二年級的時候就已經上了電視。我是唯一一個電視節(jié)目主持人，雖然有11點的宵禁，卻做著10點鐘的新聞。篇四：奧普拉哈佛畢業(yè)典禮演講：人生唯一目標就是做真實的自己

奧普拉哈佛畢業(yè)典禮演講：人生唯一目標就是做真實的自己 oh my goodness!im at haaaaaarvard!thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard university graduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way.winfrey also received an honorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium.溫弗瑞演講中4條最勵志的語錄

談失敗的好處 there is no such thing as failure.failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.世間并不存在“失敗”，那不過是生活想讓我們換個方向走走罷了。learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.要從錯誤中吸取教訓，因為你的每一次經歷、尤其是你犯下的錯誤，都將幫助你、推動你更好地做自己。

2.on her own biggest personal failure.談自身最大的失敗

我突然想到某首古老贊美詩中的一句話：“困難只是暫時的”，我遇到的麻煩同樣會有結束的一天。然后我想，我會將這一頁翻過去，我會好起來的。

談職業(yè)生涯所做訪談的共同性 beyonce in all her beyonce-ness...they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我發(fā)現(xiàn)，我所有的訪談有一個共同性，那就是人人都希望自己被認可、被理解。they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我的采訪對象都想知道：“我的表現(xiàn)ok嗎？你聽到我看到我嗎？我說的話對你有價值嗎？”

4.on the key to success and happiness.談成功和快樂的關鍵 you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal.there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.如果你只認準一個目標，那你就能獲得真正的成功和快樂。人生確實只有一個目標，那就是：最大程度地、最真實地展現(xiàn)自己。

“不要問自己世界需要什么，問問是什么讓你精神抖擻地活著，然后就去做，因為世界所需要的就是一個個朝氣蓬勃的人。”篇五：奧普拉演講

第三篇：2013年奧普拉·溫弗瑞哈佛畢業(yè)典禮演講稿

奧普拉2013哈佛大學畢業(yè)典禮英語演講稿：

Oh my goodness!I'm at Harvard!Wow!To President Faust, my fellow honorands, Carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson, Harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend Dr.Henry Lewis Gates.All of you alumni with a special bow to the class of '88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.And to you, members of the Harvard class of 2013!Hello!I thank you for allowing me to be a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives and the commencement of your next chapter.To say that I'm honored doesn't even begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that really accompanies an honorary doctorate from Harvard.Not too many little girls from rural Mississippi have made it all the way here to Cambridge.And I can tell you that I consider today as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you all and then teary for myself, I consider today a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey.My one hope today is that I can be a source of some inspiration.I'm going to address my remarks to anybody who has ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt screwed by life, this is a speech for the quad.Actually I was so honored I wanted to do something really special for you.I wanted to be able to have you look under your seats and there would be free master and doctor degrees but I see you got that covered already.I will be honest with you.I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that I could share with you that you hadn't heard before because after all you all went to Harvard, I did not.But then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go to Harvard to have a driven obsessive Type A personality.But it helps.And while I may not have graduated from here I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they come.You know my television career began unexpectedly.As you heard this morning I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest.That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that I entered.So they were doing the question and answer period because I knew I wasn't going to win under the swimsuit competition.So during the question and answer period the question came “Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?” And by the time they got to me all the good answers were gone.So I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered “I would like to be a journalist.I would like to tell other people's stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world.” And as those words were coming out of my mouth I went whoa!This is pretty good!I would like to be a journalist.I want to make a difference.Well I was on television by the time I was 19 years old.And in 1986 I launched my own television show with a relentless determination to succeed at first.I was nervous about the competition and then I became my own competition raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing myself as hard as I knew.Sound familiar to anybody here? Eventually we did make it to the top and we stayed there for 25 years.The Oprah Winfrey Show was number one in our time slot for 21 years and I have to tell you I became pretty comfortable with that level of success.But a few years ago I decided as you will at some point, that it was time to recalculate, find new territory, break new ground.So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.The initials just worked out for me.So one year later after launching OWN nearly every media outlet had proclaimed that my new venture was a flop.Not just a flop but a big bold flop they call it.I can still remember the day I opened up USA Today and read the headline “Oprah, not quite standing on her OWN.” I mean really, USA Today? Now that's the nice newspaper!It really was this time last year the worst period in my professional life.I was stressed and I was frustrated and quite frankly I was actually I was embarrassed.It was right around that time that President Faust called and asked me to speak here and I thought you want me to speak to Harvard graduates? What could I possibly say to Harvard graduates, some of the most successful graduates in the world in the very moment when I had stopped succeeding? So I got off the phone with President Faust and I went to the shower.It was either that or a bag of Oreos.So I chose the shower.And I was in the shower a long time and as I was in the shower the words of an old hymn came to me.You may not know it.It's “By and by, when the morning comes.” And I started thinking about when the morning might come because at the time I thought I was stuck in a hole.And the words came to me “Trouble don't last always” from that hymn, “this too shall pass.” And I thought as I got out of the shower I am going to turn this thing around and I will be better for it.And when I do, I'm going to go to Harvard and I'm going to speak the truth of it!So I'm here today to tell you I have turned that network around!And it was all because I wanted to do it by the time I got to speak to you all so thank you so much.You don't know what motivation you were for me, thank you.I'm even prouder to share a fundamental truth that you might not have learned even as graduates of Harvard unless you studied the ancient Greek hero with Professor Nagy.Professor Nagy as we were coming in this morning said “Please Ms.Winfrey, walk decisively.” I shall walk decisively.This is what I want to share.It doesn't matter how far you might rise.At some point you are bound to stumble because if you're constantly doing what we do, raising the bar.If you're constantly pushing yourself higher, higher the law of averages not to mention the Myth of Icarus predicts that you will at some point fall.And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure.Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.Now when you're down there in the hole, it looks like failure.So this past year I had to spoon feed those words to myself.And when you're down in the hole, when that moment comes, it's really okay to feel bad for a little while.Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost but then here's the key, learn from every mistake because every experience, encounter, and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.And then figure out what is the next right move.And the key to life is to develop an internal moral emotional G.P.S.that can tell you which way to go.Because now and forever more when you Google yourself your search results will read “Harvard, 2013”.And in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when I see “Harvard” I sit up a little straighter and say “Where is he or she? Bring them in.” it's an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, C.E.O., scientist, physicist, winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes or late night talk show host.But the challenge of life I have found is to build a resume that doesn't simply tell a story about what you want to be but it's a story about who you want to be.It's a resume that doesn't just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why.A story that's not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that's really about your purpose.Because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole that is the story that will get you out.What is your true calling? What is your dharma? What is your purpose? For me that discovery came in 1994 when I interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need.She raised a thousand dollars all by herself and I thought well if that little 9 year old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that I wonder what I could do? So I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection and in one month just from pennies and nickels and dimes we raised more than three million dollars that we used to send one student from every state in the United States to college.That was the beginning of the Angel Network.And so what I did was I simply asked our viewers “Do what you can wherever you are, from wherever you sit in life.Give me your time or your talent your money if you have it.” And they did.Extend yourself in kindness to other human beings wherever you can.And together we built 55 schools in 12 different countries and restored nearly 300 homes that were devastated by hurricanes Rita and Katrina.So the Angel Network I have been on the air for a long time, but it was the Angel Network that actually focused my internal G.P.S.It helped me to decide that I wasn't going to just be on TV every day but that the goal of my shows, my interviews, my business, my philanthropy all of it, whatever ventures I might pursue would be to make clear that what unites us is ultimately far more redeeming and compelling than anything that separates me.Because what had become clear to me and I want you to know it isn't always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old.But around '94 I got really clear.So don't expect the clarity to come all at once to know your purpose right away, but what became clear to me was that I was here on earth to use television and not be used by it;to use television to illuminate the transcendent power of our better angels.So this Angel Network, it didn't just change the lives of those who were helped, but the lives of those who also did the helping.It reminded us that no matter who we are or what we look like or what we may believe it is both possible and more importantly it becomes powerful to come together in common purpose and common effort.I saw something on the Bill Moore Show recently that so reminded me of this point.It was an interview with David and Francine Wheeler.They lost their 7 year old son, Ben in the Sandy Hook tragedy.And even though gun safety legislation to strengthen background checks had just been voted down in Congress at the time that they were doing this interview they talked about how they refused to be discouraged.Francine said this, she said “Our hearts are broken but our spirits are not.I'm going to tell them what it's like to find a conversation about change that is love, and I'm going to do that without fighting them.” And then her husband David added this, “You simply cannot demonize or vilify someone who doesn't agree with you, because the minute you do that, your discussion is over.And we cannot do that any longer.The problem is too enormous.There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light.” In our political system and in the media we often see the reflection of a country that is polarized, that is paralyzed and is self-interested.And yet, I know you know the truth.We all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout Washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle.Not my channel, by the way.We understand that the vast majority of people in this country believe in stronger background checks because they realize that we can uphold the Second Amendment and also reduce the violence that is robbing us of our children.They don't have to be incompatible.And we understand that most Americans believe in a clear path to citizenship for the 12,000,000 undocumented immigrants who reside in this country because it's possible to both enforce our laws and at the same time embrace the words on the Statue of Liberty that have welcomed generations of huddled masses to our shores.We can do both.And we understand.I know you do because you went to Harvard.There are people from both parties and no party believe that indigent mothers and families should have access to healthy food and a roof over their heads and a strong public education because here in the richest nation on earth we can afford a basic level of security and opportunity.So the question is what are we going to do about it? Really what are you going to do about it? Maybe you agree with these beliefs.Maybe you don't.Maybe you care about these issues and maybe there are other challenges that you, class of 2013, are passionate about.Maybe you want to make a difference by serving in government.Maybe you want to launch your own television show.Or maybe you simply want to collect some change.Your parents would appreciate that about now.The point is your generation is charged with this task of breaking through what the body politic has thus far made impervious to change.Each of you has been blessed with this enormous opportunity of attending this prestigious school.You now have a chance to better your life, the lives of your neighbors and also the life of our country.When you do that let me tell you what I know for sure.That's when your story gets really good.Maya Angelou always says “When you learn, teach.When you get, give.That my friends is what gives your story purpose and meaning.” So you all have the power in your own way to develop your own Angel Network and in doing so your class will be armed with more tools of influence and empowerment than any other generation in history.I did it in an analog world.I was blessed with a platform that at its height reached nearly 20,000,000 viewers a day.Now here in a world of Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and Tumbler, you can reach billions in just seconds.You're the generation that rejected predictions about your detachment and your disengagement by showing up to vote in record numbers in 2008.And when the pundits said they said they talked about you, they said you'd be too disappointed, you'd be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in 2012 election and you proved them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers.That's who you are.This generation your generation I know has developed a finely honed radar for B.S.Can you say “B.S.” at Harvard? The spin and phoniness and artificial nastiness that saturates so much of our national debate.I know you all understand better than most that real progress requires authentic-an authentic way of being, honesty, and above all empathy.I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience.Most of us I tell you we don't want to be divided.What we want, the common denominator that I found in every single interview, is we want to be validated.We want to be understood.I have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way asks this question “Was that okay?” I heard it from President Bush, I heard it from President Obama.I've heard it from heroes and from housewives.I've heard it from victims and perpetrators of crimes.I even heard it from Beyonce and all of her Beyonceness.She finishes performing, hands me the microphone and says “Was that okay?” Friends and family, yours, enemies, strangers in every argument in every encounter, every exchange I will tell you they all want to know one thing: was that okay? Did you hear me? Do you see me? Did what I say mean anything to you? And even though this is a college where Facebook was born my hope is that you would try to go out and have more face-to-face conversations with people you may disagree with.That you'll have the courage to look them in the eye and hear their point of view and help make sure that the speed and distance and anonymity of our world doesn't cause us to lose our ability to stand in somebody else's shoes and recognize all that we share as a people.This is imperative for you as an individual and for our success as a nation.“There has to be some way that this darkness can be banished with light,” says the man whose little boy was massacred on just an ordinary Friday in December.So whether you call it soul or spirit or higher self, intelligence, there is I know this, there is a light inside each of you all of us that illuminates your very human beingness if you let it.And as a young girl from rural Mississippi I learned long ago that being myself was much easier than pretending to be Barbara Walters.Although when I first started because I had Barbara in my head I would try to sit like Barbara, talk like Barbara, move like Barbara and then one night I was on the news reading the news and I called Canada Can-a-da, and that was the end of me being Barbara.I cracked myself up on TV.Couldn't stop laughing and my real personality came through and I figured out oh gee, I can be a much better Oprah than I could be a pretend Barbara.I know that you all might have a little anxiety now and hesitation about leaving the comfort of college and putting those Harvard credentials to the test.But no matter what challenges or setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.You want to max out your humanity by using your energy to lift yourself up, your family and the people around you.Theologian Howard Thurman said it best.He said “Don't ask yourself what the world needs.Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” The world needs-People like Michael Stolzenberg from Fort Lauderdale.When Michael was just 8 years old Michael nearly died from a bacterial infection that cost him both of his hands and both of his feet.And in an instant this vibrant little boy became a quadruple amputee and his life was changed forever.But in losing who he once was Michael discovered who he wanted to be.He refused to sit in that wheelchair all day and feel sorry for himself so with prosthetics he learned to walk and run and play again.He joined his middle school lacrosse team and last month when he learned that so many victims of the Boston Marathon bombing would become new amputees Michael decided to banish that darkness with light.Michael and his brother Harris created Mikeysrun.com to raise 1,000,000 dollars for other amputees.By the time Harris runs the 2014 Boston Marathon.More than 1,000 miles away from here these two young brothers are bringing people together to support this Boston community the way their community came together to support Michael.And when this 13 year old man was asked about his fellow amputees he said this “First they will be sad.They're losing something they will never get back and that's scary.I was scared.But they'll be okay.They just don't know that yet.” We might not always know it.We might not always see it, or hear it on the news or even feel it in our daily lives but I have faith that no matter what class of 2013 you will be okay and you will make sure our country is okay.I have faith because of that 9 year old girl who went out and collected the change.I have faith because of David and Francine Wheeler, I have faith because of Michael and Harris Stolzenberg and I have faith because of you, the network of angeles sitting here today.One of them Kadija Williams who came to Harvard four years ago.Kadija had attended 12 schools in 12 years living out of garbage bags amongst pimps and prostitutes and drug dealers, homeless, going in to department stores, Wal-Mart in the morning to bathe herself so that she wouldn't smell in front of her classmates and today she graduates as a member of the Harvard class of 2013.From time to time you may stumble fall, you will for sure count in this no doubt, you will have questions and you will have doubts about your path but I know this, if you're willing to listen to be guided by that still small voice that is the G.P.S.within yourself, to find out what makes you come alive you will be more than okay.You will be happy, you will be successful, and you will make a difference in the world.Congratulations class of 2013, congratulations to your family and friends, good luck and thank you for listening.Was that okay?

第四篇：奧普拉溫弗瑞哈佛演講觀后感

奧普拉溫弗瑞哈佛演講觀后感

大學已過了四分之三，畢業(yè)將至，新的一頁即將翻開，也許有許多人還在悔恨大學這一頁的空白。面對人生一個重要的轉折點，有對未來的憧憬也有些許彷徨。也許這是面臨畢業(yè)的人必經的一段路吧！也許大洋彼岸的一所夢幻般的學校里的一次演講能對你有所啟發(fā)。奧普拉在哈佛大學2013屆畢業(yè)典禮上的演講讓我感觸頗深。

也許在這個時候有必要回顧一下我們的大學生活。剛剛邁入大學的校門時，我們對一切都充滿了好奇。渴望求知的，希望從課堂中體驗知識的神奇，感受醉生夢死般的思維境界；熱衷學生工作的，瘋狂加入各種組織社團，渴望一展才華并提升自己；高中階段忙著學習沒談戀愛的，憧憬著愛情的美好，不放過任何接近異性的機會。

可結果怎樣呢？渴望求知的被高數(shù)弄得暈頭轉向，因為從來沒見過這么高的“樹”，許多人還掛在了上面。上課玩手機、睡覺的人越來越多，抬頭率呈指數(shù)規(guī)律遞減。有的人抱怨太難，想要簡單的嗎？去幼兒園吧！到那都能當老師了，可你會去嗎？要知道真正讓我們成長的東西往往是讓我們不舒服的東西，而不是稱心如意。不要做溫水里的青蛙!也有人抱怨老師講得太爛、太無聊，但有講得好的啊，于濤老師的微積分，孫秋華老師的大物講座，你去聽過嗎？先從自身找原因！熱衷學生工作的加入組織后，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)這地方不錯，平時呼風喚雨、風光無限不說，偶爾還能為自己謀點福利，當初那個不滿社會風氣，痛恨腐敗的你呢？如此下去，社會何安？也有正直的同學看不慣不良風氣，一氣之下憤然退出。干嘛要走呢？要知道你可是代表正義的一方，此消彼長啊！這個社會需要我們去改變，否則它怎么進步？憧憬愛情的無可厚非，但有些同學的愛情觀實在不敢茍同。思修老師的一項調查顯示居然有過半同學談戀愛的目的只是為了玩玩。對自己對他人的青春都不負責任，黨和國家怎么敢把大任交于你？

在一定意義上說，我們的大學生活都是失敗的。那么，我們就無可救藥了嗎？當然不是！奧普拉說我們每個人都會遭遇失敗，情緒低落，感覺被生活玩弄于股掌之中。記住，即使哈佛的學生也是如此。奧普拉說生活中沒有失敗，所謂的失敗只是生活在引導我們走向另一個更正確的方向。那么我們應該怎么做呢？

我想，首先，我們應該弄清我們究竟想成為怎樣的人。的確，我們所受的教育更傾向于按社會的需要來培養(yǎng)我們，像生產產品一樣使我們變得標準化，專業(yè)化，也無可避免得機械化。但我們是有思想、有靈魂的活生生的人我們應該捫心自問，我想成為什么樣的人。奧普拉說我們每個人都應該建立內心深處的道德情感的GPS定位，它會引領我們走自己的人生之路。她還引用名言說問問你自己是什么讓你過得更好的，然后就去做你喜歡的這件事，因為這個世界需要的就是我們每個人活的更精彩。不要把工作作為你的目的，它只是我們謀生的手段而已，我們的終極目的應該是做最好的自己！而且我們不應該安于現(xiàn)狀，要不斷為自己設立更高的目標。當你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己滿滿的都是幸福時，那只能有兩種情況，第一，那是個幻想。第二，你已經停止了進步。奧普拉在事業(yè)達到頂峰之時都能果斷轉身，創(chuàng)立OWN，何況我們！

弄清自己想成為什么樣的人后，我們需要堅定不移地走下去。夢想需要實干來支撐。也許，在這個過程中，我們會遭受失敗與痛苦，正像我們已經遭受并正在遭受的一樣。但失敗并不可怕。奧普拉說，當你處于低谷時，要給自己悲傷的時間，想想自己失去了什么，之后的事情才是最重要的，要學會從每一次失敗中汲取營養(yǎng)，因為每一次經歷、挫折、尤其是你所犯的錯誤都會讓你更加明白你是什么樣的人并幫助你成為你想成為的人。堅定不移地走下去，就會如一句古老的格言所說，“ 漸漸地，黎明的曙光終將到來！”

成為自己想要成為的人，無疑是件幸福的事。但在這個過程中，我希望我們也不要忘記讓自己成為一個有價值的人，為這個社會貢獻一點正能量。因為畢竟我們能夠生存并活得越來越好，靠的是許多我們知道或者不知道的人的默默奉獻。奧普拉說，“W,hen you learn,teach.When you get,give.(有所學時，便去施教。有所得時，便去給予。）”在當今世界，我們這一代似乎在變得越來越冷漠，許多人也許對此觀點會嗤之以鼻。但我們是這個社會的一份子，責任的喪失，冷漠的蔓延，將會帶給我們自身痛苦。這是一個需要奉獻，需要改變的社會，而實施者只能是我們！

希望奧普拉的演講能對每一個迷茫的人有所裨益，找到自己人生的意義所在，行動起來，和周圍人一起去改變世界！希望我們的寢室里不再滿目是DOTA,只聞“擼啊擼”！

奧普拉哈佛畢業(yè)典禮演講：人生唯一目標就是做真實的自己 oh my goodness!im at haaaaaarvard!thats how oprah winfrey began her speech at harvard university graduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way.winfrey also received an honorary doctor of law degree from the university before taking to the podium.溫弗瑞演講中4條最勵志的語錄

談失敗的好處 there is no such thing as failure.failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.世間并不存在“失敗”，那不過是生活想讓我們換個方向走走罷了。learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.要從錯誤中吸取教訓，因為你的每一次經歷、尤其是你犯下的錯誤，都將幫助你、推動你更好地做自己。

2.on her own biggest personal failure.談自身最大的失敗

我突然想到某首古老贊美詩中的一句話：“困難只是暫時的”，我遇到的麻煩同樣會有結束的一天。然后我想，我會將這一頁翻過去，我會好起來的。

談職業(yè)生涯所做訪談的共同性 beyonce in all her beyonce-ness...they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我發(fā)現(xiàn)，我所有的訪談有一個共同性，那就是人人都希望自己被認可、被理解。they all want to know: was that okay? did you hear me? did you see me? did what i said mean anything to you? 我的采訪對象都想知道：“我的表現(xiàn)ok嗎？你聽到我看到我嗎？我說的話對你有價值嗎？”

4.on the key to success and happiness.談成功和快樂的關鍵 you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal.there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.如果你只認準一個目標，那你就能獲得真正的成功和快樂。人生確實只有一個目標，那就是：最大程度地、最真實地展現(xiàn)自己。“不要問自己世界需要什么，問問是什么讓你精神抖擻地活著，然后就去做，因為世界所需要的就是一個個朝氣蓬勃的人。”篇三：奧普拉2013哈佛畢業(yè)演講(中英)oh my goodness!im at harvard!wow!to president faust, my fellow honorands, carl that was so beautiful, thank you so much, and james rothenberg, stephanie wilson, harvard faculty with a special bow to my friend dr.henry lewis gates.all of you alumni with a special bow to the class of 88, your hundred fifteen million dollars.and to you, members of the harvard class of 2013!hello!a personality.but it helps.and while i may not have graduated from here i admit that my feelings, failure and finding happiness 感覺、失敗及尋找幸福——奧普拉·溫弗瑞------------——美國著名電視節(jié)目主持人奧普拉·溫弗瑞2008年在斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表的演講 thank you, president hennessy, and to the trustees 受托人 and the faculty 教師, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the stanford graduates.thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.you see, kirbys a very smart girl.she wants people to get to know her on her own terms, she says.not in terms of who she knows.so, she never wants anyone whos first meeting her to know that i know her and she knows me.so, when she first came to stanford for new student orientation 典禮with her mom, i i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof證明.i have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey馬 with me on all fours.so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus.and im so happy to be here, just happy that i finally, after four years, get to see her room.theres really nowhere else id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, who graduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other in psychology.love you, kirby cakes!thats how well i know her.i can call her cakes.。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and her brother, will.i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would say, im getting ready to go to stanford.i just love saying stanford.because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford.i went to tennessee state university 田納西州立大學.but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit（一個學分）.and i figured, im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.because by that point, i was already on television.id been in television since i was 19 and a sophomore 大二.granted, i was the only television anchor person 電視主持人that had an 11 oclock curfew 宵禁 doing the 10 oclock news.seriously, my dad was like, well, that news is over at 10:30.be home by 11.but that didnt matter to me, because i was earning a living.i was on my way.so, i thought, im going to let this college thing go and i only had one credit short.but, my father, from that time on and for years after, was always on my case, because i did not graduate.hed say, oprah gail—thats my middle name—i dont know what youre gonna do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, i have my own television show.and hed say, well, i still dont know what youre going to do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, now im a talk show脫口秀 host.hed say, i dont know how youre going to get another job without that degree.so, i finished my coursework, i turned in my final paper and i got the degree.and my dad was very proud.and i know that, if anything happens, that one credit will be my salvation.but i also know why my dad was insisting on that diploma, because, as b.b.king put it, the beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.and learning is really in the broadest sense what i want to talk about today, because your education, of course, isnt ending here.in many ways, its only just begun.sometimes as full-blown crises全面危機.and the secret ive learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest university of all, that is, the universe itself.its being able to walk through life eager and open to feelings, failure and finding happiness 感覺、失敗及尋找幸福——奧普拉·溫弗瑞------------——美國著名電視節(jié)目主持人奧普拉·溫弗瑞2008年在斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮上發(fā)表的演講 thank you, president hennessy, and to the trustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the stanford graduates.thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.hennessy校長，全體教員，家長，還有斯坦福的畢業(yè)生門，非常感謝你們。感謝你們讓我和你們分享這美好的一天。

有些人走到kirby面前，對kirby說：“我的天啊，那是gayle king嗎？”kirby說：“嗯，她是我媽媽。”然后人們說：“我的天啊，難道說，你認識oprah winfrey。”kirby說：“有點吧。” i said, sort of? you sort of know me? well, i have photographic proof.i have pictures which i can e-mail to you all of kirby riding horsey with me on all fours.so, i more than sort-of know kirby bumpus.and im so happy to be here, just happy that i finally, after four years, get to see her room.theres really nowhere else id rather be, because im so proud of kirby, who graduates today with two degrees, one in human bio and the other in psychology.love you, kirby cakes!thats how well i know her.i can call her cakes.我說：“有一點。你有一點認識我”。我還有照片為證。我可以把kirby 和我騎馬時的照片e-mail給你們。因此我不僅僅只是有點認識kirby bumpus。我非常高興來到這里，因為四年來我第一次來到她的寢室。我為kirby感到自豪，因為她獲得了人類生物學和心理學的雙學位。這就是我多么的了解她。我可以叫她cakes。and so proud of her mother and father, who helped her get through this time, and her brother, will.i really had nothing to do with her graduating from stanford, but every time anybodys asked me in the past couple of weeks what i was doing, i would say, im getting ready to go to stanford.我為她的父母感到驕傲，她的父母給了她很大幫助，還有她的哥哥will。我對kirby大學四年真的沒有什么幫助。但是在過去的幾周里，每當人們問我在做什么時，我都會說：“我正準備去斯坦福” i just love saying stanford.because the truth is, i know i would have never gotten my degree at all, cause i didnt go to stanford.i went to tennessee state university.but i never would have gotten my diploma at all, because i was supposed to graduate back in 1975, but i was short one credit.and i figured, im just going to forget it, cause, you know, im not going to march with my class.because by that point, i was already on television.id been in television since i was 19 and a sophomore.granted, i was the only television anchor person that had an 11 oclock curfew doing the 10 oclock news.我就是喜歡這樣說stanford（用一種奇怪的語調）。因為這是真的，我知道根本不會拿到我的學位，因為我沒有去斯坦福念書。我去了tennessee 州立大學。但是我本來不會拿到我的畢業(yè)證，因為我本應該在1975年畢業(yè)，但是我少了一個學分。我認為我還是會忘了這件事。你們知道，我不會比得上我的同班同學。因為我已經上了電視。我在19歲還是大學二年級的時候就已經上了電視。我是唯一一個電視節(jié)目主持人，雖然有11點的宵禁，卻做著10點鐘的新聞。seriously, my dad was like, well, that news is over at 10:30.be home by 11.but that didnt matter to me, because i was earning a living.i was on my way.so, i thought, im going to let this college thing go and i only had one credit short.but, my father, from that time on and for years after, was always on my case, because i did not graduate.hed say, oprah gail—thats my middle name—i dont know what youre gonna do without that degree.and id say, but, dad, i have my own television show.嚴肅地說，我爸爸告訴我，“好吧，新聞10：30結束。11點之前到家。”但是這對我并不重要，因為我已經自食其力了。我在走我自己的路。所以我想，我不能讓關于我大學的那件事就這么過去，我還少一個學分。但是我的父親從那時起卻成了問題。由于我沒有畢業(yè)，他總是說：“oprah gail（我的中間名字），我不知道沒有學位你能做些什么。”然后我說：“但是，爸爸，我已經有我自己的電視節(jié)目啦。
