On spring days like today, it is traditional for us to ponder the steer of the world all you are to help to make it a better place which implies things are somehow worse today, then we're up here where you are sitting right now. I'm not so sure the plan of the earth, it was shape, was thirty, no eighteen, no four years ago. That's not to say some better shape eit...
I remember very clearly my own first conscious attempt at acting. I was six, placing my mother's half slip over my head in preparation to play the Virgin Mary in our living room. As I swaddled my Betsy Wetsy doll, I felt quiet, holy, actually, and my transfigured face and very changed demeanor captured on super-8 by my dad, pulled my little brother Harry to play Joseph a...
For everywhere we look, there is work to be done. The state of the economy calls for action, bold and swift, and we will act-not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth. We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together. We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technol...

I would never guess, but you guys gave me the motivation, say, you know what? Evidently I've got to prove to these guys. I've got to prove to them that I deserve what ...
My mother, who was filled with pride the day I was admitted here, never stopped pressing me to do more for others. A few days before I was married, she hosted a bridal event, at which she read aloud a letter about marriage that she had written to Melinda. My mother was very ill with cancer at the time, but she saw one more opportunity to deliver her message, and at the close...

When the great director Billy Wilder was asked what makes a movie unforgettable, his answer was simple, "A little bit of magic!" We're all here tonight or sitting at home watching because something came off a movie screen: a little bit of magic touched our lives. And you always remember where you were: the theater, the popcorn, the people you were with when it ...
People always talk about diving into things you're afraid of. That never worked for me. 人们总是说要放手去做你害怕的事。这对我而言行不通。 If I'm afraid I run away, and I would probably urge my child to do the same. 如果我害怕了我会逃跑，我可能会敦促我的孩子也这样做。 Fear protect us in many ways. 害怕在各方面保护着我们。 What has served me is diving into my own obli...

And so the very inexperienced that in college had made me feel insecure and make me wanna play by others's rules. 无经验让我在大学时缺乏自信，让我愿意遵循他人的规则。 Now was making me actually take risks I didn't even realize were risks. 如今它让我敢于接受挑战，那些我根本没意识到的挑战。 When Darren asked me if I could do ballet, I told him that I was basically a ba...

My Harvard degree represents for me to curiosity and invention that were encouraged here, the friendship I've sustained, the way professor Graham told me not to describe the way like hit a flower, but rather the shadow that the flower cast, the way professor Scarry talked about theater is a transformative religious force, how professor Coslin showed how much our visual c...

This is how others saw me and it was how I saw myself. 我被录取只是因为知名度。...
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." 因为那天早上我正好在“今日秀”中看到了芭芭拉·怀特女士，所以我说：“我想成为一名新闻工作者，我想为人民带来一些在某种程度上能改变他们生活和世界的故事。...
