The world’s billionaires are, by definition, some of the most successful people on the planet — often building their own companies and changing the world with a new product or a huge philanthropic endeavor. This makes them natural candidates to give advice to young college graduates who are just starting out in the world. 根据定义，世界亿万富翁是地球上最成功的一群人——他们往往创立了自己的公司，并通过一项新产品或者一项庞大的慈善事业改变了世界。这使得他们理所当然成为给予刚刚踏入社会的年轻的大学毕业生建议的绝佳人选。 This year, a handful of billionaires gave commencement addresses, including media powerhouse Oprah Winfrey, global philanthropist Melinda Gates, and AOL co-founder Steve Case. Here are some choices passages from their speeches: 今年，一小部分亿万富翁做了毕业典礼演说，这其中包括媒体大亨奥普拉-温弗瑞、国际慈善家梅琳达-盖茨和AOL联合创始人史蒂夫-凯斯。这里是他们演讲中的片段摘选： Oprah Winfrey: We All Want To Be Understood 奥普拉·温弗瑞：我们渴望被理解 “I have to say the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years is there’s a common denominator in our experience… We want to be validated. We want to be understood. I’ve done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off, everyone always turns to me and says, ‘Was that OK?’ I heard it from President Bush. I heard it from President Obama… I even heard it from Beyonce in all her Beyonceness!” -Harvard University |
