Thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you.Hennessy校长，全体教员，家长，还有斯坦福的毕业生门，非常感谢你们。感谢你们让我和你们分享这美好的一天。

So I had seen Barbara Walters on the Today Show that morning so I answered &quotI would like to be a journalist. I would like to tell other people&#39s stories in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world.&quot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

Because what had become clear to me and I want you to know it isn&#39t always clear in the beginning because as I said I had been on television since I was 19 years old.但我想让你们知道，任何事情的一开始对于我们未必明朗，正如我所说我19岁就开始上电视。But around &#3994 I got really clear. So don&#39t expect the clarity to come all at once

And yet, I know you know the truth. We all know that we are better than the cynicism and the pessimism that is regurgitated throughout Washington and the 24-hour cable news cycle.然而，我知道你们明白真相。我们的真实情况都知道我们比电视上24小时滚动播出的新闻更好，比充斥着华盛顿的那些愤世嫉俗和悲观主义情绪更好。Not my channel, by the way. We understand that the vas

And in a very competitive world that really is a calling card because I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people when I see &quotHarvard&quot I sit up a little straighter and say &quotWhere is he or she? Bring them in.&quot在这个竞争激烈的世界，那的确是块敲门砖。我作为一个雇佣过很多人的人，可以说当我听说是哈佛毕业生时，我会坐直一点，然后说“他/她在哪，带来见我

We want to be understood.我在每次访谈中发现我们的共同之处，就是我们想要被认可、被理解。I have done over 35,000 interviews in my career and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their ow

You&#39d be too dejected to repeat that same kind of turnout in the 2012 election.他们曾谈论过你们 说你们会失望透顶也会心灰意冷在2012年的选拔中 不会再有那么多人申请And you prove them wrong by showing up in even greater numbers.

What is your true calling? What is your dogma? What is your purpose?你的原始动机是什么？你的信仰是什么？你的意图是又什么？For me, that discovery came in 1994.
