2017年的5月13日，被评为福布斯上榜的前50名“最有力量” 的商业女精英的雪莉·桑德伯格来到美国弗吉尼亚理工大学发表了感人肺腑的毕业演讲，这位硅谷最具影响力的女性说，她不想要和毕业生谈他们过于陌生的事情，而是通过讲诉面对着人生最艰巨的困境——爱的人的突然离世，她所感所悟：我们不是先天就有面对苦难的意志力和弹性，而这意志力像块肌肉一样，需要不断练习。 Hello Hokies! President Sands, esteemed faculty, proud parents, devoted friends, wet siblings… congratulations to all of you. But most importantly, congratulations to the Virginia Tech class of 2017! I am honored to be with you and this San Francisco summer day feels just like home, just like it does with anything with “Tech” in its name. I’m so delighted to be here with my friend, Regina Dugan. As you just heard, Regina used to run Darpa – for real! – and now she is developing breakthrough technologies at Facebook. In Hokie terms, she’s our Bruce Smith. And she is just one of so many alums doing amazing things around the world. Today, class of 2017, you join them. And I’m thrilled for you. And thrilled for all of the people who are here supporting you – the people who have pushed you, dried your tears and laughed with you from your first day to this day. Let’s show them all of our thanks. |
