It's hard to admit that I need help, but I do. For 45 days from the end of December to early February, I was in inpatient therapy receiving guidance for the issues I'm facing. I have a long way to go. But I've taken my first steps in the right direction. 要我承认我需要外界的帮助并不是一件容易的事，但我确实需要。在过去的45天里，从12月底到2月初这段时间，我一直住院...
I know the irony strikes like with the force of a cartoon anvil now, but… 我现在明白了反讽就像用卡通铁砧去打击你，但…… So they had hoped that I would take a vocational degree; I wanted to study English literature. A compromise was reaced that in retrospect satisfied nobody, and I went up to study Modern Languages. Hardly had my parents' car rounded the corner at th...
I started way back as a weightlifter. I always liked the idea of lifting weights and being a bodybuilder. From the first moment when I gripped a barbell and held it around the bar and lifted the steel above my head, I felt this exhilaration, and I knew then that this is something that I'm going to do; that I was in love with that, and this is going to be something that I...
Well, let me tell you something. The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn't even lift my arms to comb my hair. I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is. But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress. Pain is progress. Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that...
I am nearly finished. I have one last hope for you, which is something that I already had at 21. The friends with whom I sat on graduation day have been my friends for life. They are my children's godparents, the people to whom I've been able to turn in times of trouble, people who have been kind enough not to sue me when I've took their names for Death Eaters. A...
Thank you Oxford, and thank you Oxford Union. 感谢牛津大学，感谢牛津大学联合会。 It is truly an honor and a privilege to be here today and that you have afforded me this opportunity to speak to you. 今天有机会到此为各位做演讲，我感到无比荣幸。 I must confess, I am somewhat mystified as to why you are here. Because there won't be any singing, any hip-shaking. What so ever...
But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own way in the world without the glare of the spotlight. 我是有童年的，而我也可以在镁光灯照不到的、属于我的世界里犯错和做我自己。 When I first heard that Michael had died, I was in London, days away from the opening of my tour. Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I could ...
And then, at the point of the wedding when there was the first dance, basically, we had to joke that we were the mother and father of the bride. Yes, it may have seemed very odd to the outside, but we made it fun and we made it real. When he started wearing the glove, I was like, "What's up with the glove?". I'm like. "Look, if you are going to hold my...
President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, members of the faculty, proud parents, and, above all, graduates: 尊敬的福斯特校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监督理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位自豪的家长，尤其是毕业生们： The first thing I would like to say is "thank you". Not only has Harvard given me an extraordinary honour, but the wee...
As long as I live I shall remember walking along an empty corridor and suddenly hearing, from behind a closed door, a scream of pain and horror such as I have never heard since. The door opened, and the researcher poked out her head and told me to run and make a hot drink for the young man sitting with her. She had just given him the news that in retaliation for his own outs...
I can remember a game coming out of the basketball court; we were down five to ten points. And I go off about 25 points, we come back to win the game. As we walked out the floor and Tex looked me and said "you know, there is 'I' in 'team'." I said "there is not 'I' in 'team', but there is 'I' in 'win'." I th...
And because I had been on the squad in high school, earnest full-throated cheerleading was my specialty so that's what I did. But now, I feel like I know about 1/16 of what that young woman knew. Things don't seem as certain today. Now I'm 60. I have four adult children who are all facing the same challenges that you are. How it makes things tough for your family...

It also dramatically increases the numbe...
Buss Peterson, My roommate. When I first met Buss, all I heard about was that this kid from Ashville North Carolina was clearly unplayed against but he has never played against me then, so how do you come to be the player of the year? Is that some type of media, exposure, you know I came from Wiilmington, you know, where two channels, channel ABC, and channel NBC that I neve...
Fear will get the worst of the best of us and peddlers of influence count on that. Throughtout our nation's constant struggle to create a more perfect union, establish justice and ensure our domestic tranquility, we battle fear from outside our borders and from within our own hearts every day of our history. 恐惧能造成最糟糕的后果，而那些好生事的人就赖这个活着。我们不断...
Fear is whispered in our ears and shouted in our faces. Faith must be fostered by the man or woman you see every day in the mirror. The former forever snaps at our heels and our synapses and delays our course. The latter can spur our book heels to be wandering, stimulate our creativity, and drive us forward. 恐惧在我们耳畔低吟，在我们面前咆哮。信念必须由你每天在镜子里看到的...
Mr. Behring says that most of us think that a wheelchair would be a confinement, but to millions of people it is not a confinement, it is freedom, freedom to move and to go to school, freedom to vote, freedom to get a job, and freedom for hope for the future. He has given freedom ad wheelchairs to 400,000 people around the world. The individual can make a difference. 贝林先...
You graduates came to Harvard at a different time. You know more about the world's inequities than the classes that came before. In your years here, I hope you've had a chance to think about how-in this age of accelerating technology-we can finally take on these inequities, and we can solve them. 在座的各位同学，你们是在与我不同的时间来到哈佛的。你们比以前的学生更多...
In the actual news story that news broadcast was this: a certain supply of hamburger, which's found to have a bit too much of a particular bacteria. In that, and for safety sake, it's been taken off the market. That same hamburger was slated for sale to an out-of-state school system for its cafeterias, but it was we called ying-tang. So answering that news programs o...
Don't let complexity stop you. Be activists. Take on the big inequities. I feel sure it will be one of the great experiences of your lives. 不要让这个世界的复杂性阻碍你前进。要成为一个行动主义者。将解决人类的不平等视为己任。我敢肯定它将成为你生命中最重要的经历之一。 You graduates are coming of age in an amazing time. As you leave Harvard, you have technology that members...
