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...
The leader in this online race is "amazon.com".If you have not heard of them, do not feel bad. Three years ago, nobody heard of them. They did not exist. Their customers do not aware they exist physically, and they do not care. Amazon.com exists only in cyberspace. But with 2.5 million titles, it is nearly 15 times larger than the world's largest physical books...
We create the conditions for happiness to occur. In other words, we create a habitat of happiness." Wow, that's interesting. He said that they have a science behind that art, and they've actually created four essential pillars, nine key indicators and 72 different metrics that help them to measure their GNH. One of those key indicators is: How do the Bhutanese f...
The reality is, in Western countries, quite often we do focus on the pursuit of happiness as if happiness is something that we have to go out — an object that we're supposed to get, or maybe many objects. Actually, in fact, if you look in the dictionary, many dictionaries define pursuit as to "chase with hostility." Do we pursue happiness with hostility? ...
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...
At his trial in 1964, Nelson Mandela closed his statement from the dock saying, "I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be...
"I guess you can tell I'm happy to be here. In fact, I'm probably happier than anyone, because most of the people that come up here have an inkling of the idea that someday they may make the Hall of Fame. Believe me, when I was 21, I never thought I'd be enshrined with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan. In high school, I was on overly competitive but...
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...
I believe there are two trends that are most significant here, and bare the closest watching. 我认为现在有两个最重要的趋势，并需要我们密切关注。 The first is what we call deep computing. The term is inspired by our chess-playing super computer Deep Blue, which I believe many of you know competed with the Grand Master Gary Kasparov last year. Deep Blue is an amazing machine, ...
Hi, everybody. 大家好！ For millions of Americans, this time of year holds great meaning. 对数百万美国人民而言，每年的这个时候都有着特殊的意义。 Earlier this week, we hosted a Passover Seder at the White House, and joined Jewish families around the world in their retellings of the story of the Exodus and the victory of faith over oppression. 本周早些时候，我们在白宫举行了逾...
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...
I've taken that Robert Kennedy quote, and I've turned it into a new balance sheet for just a moment here. This is a collection of things that Robert Kennedy said in that quote. GDP counts everything from air pollution to the destruction of our redwoods. But it doesn't count the health of our children or the integrity of our public officials. As you look at these ...
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...
Hi, everybody. 大家好! My top priority as President is doing everything I can to create more jobs and more opportunities for hardworking families to get ahead. 作为总统，我最重要的任务就是尽我一切努力为所有辛勤付出的工薪家庭提供更多就业机会，让大家获得成功。 On Friday, we learned that our economy created over 200,000 new jobs in July. 周五发布的统计数据显示今年7月，我们创造...
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...
The emergence of low-cost personal computers gave rise to a powerful network that has transformed opportunities for learning and communicating. 低成本的个人电脑的出现，使得一个强大的互联网诞生，它为学习和交流提供了很大的机会。 The magical thing about this network is not just that it collapses distance and makes everyone your neighbor. 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...
