You may probably meet most of the powerful graduation speakers here who are well-known
people in their fields. I think the schools couldn't have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples, deeply inspiring us in our daily life. .
1） Steve Jobs, Stanford University：
"The best way I know is to avoid the trap（困境）of thinking that you have something to lose.
There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions affect your own voice..."
2） Oprah Winfrey, Stanford University：
"I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school... And the secret I've learned to get ahead is being open to the lessons from the great universe of all. Don't react against a bad situation. And the solution（解决办法）will come from the challenge. So don't give up easily, acting with responsibility...”
3） Bono, University of Pennsylvania：
"For four years you've been buying, trading, and selling everything you've got in this market¬place of ideas. Your pockets are full, even if your parents’ are empty , and now you've got to figure out what to spend it on... “ The world is waiting for you to shape it...”
4） Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin：
"Now it's time for you to move on to what's next and get what you want. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, or sometimes you'll miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and obstacles （障碍）.But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others."
