商界大佬們最令人難忘的六大畢業典禮演講

????在畢業典禮上，很少有演講嘉賓愿意分享那些源自真實工作經歷，令人不舒服的人生感悟，能夠撼動畢業生心靈的此類演講更是寥若晨星。但以下這6位商界大佬做到了這一點。他們并沒有重復“相信自己”這樣的陳詞濫調，而是動情地講述了自身生活經歷中那些促使他們成長為業界佼佼者的失敗、質疑和盲點。

????On rare occasions, a commencement speaker can jolt graduates to attention with a personal, even uncomfortable truth from their working lives. Here are six speakers who departed from the usual bromides about “believing in yourself,” and mined their own lives for failure, doubts and blind spots that marked their ascent to the top of their fields.

????音樂制作人吉米?艾歐文發現，自己作為音樂制作人所取得的成功，對于改行賣Beats耳機沒有任何用處。在演講中，他大聲地說出自己曾經的疑惑：“誰相信說唱巨星Dr. Dre和我會去賣硬件？沒有人相信。”他隨后著重強調了成功的短暫性：“在50歲的時候，我知道我必須從頭做起。”

????他補充說：“請記住一點：你的學歷并不代表教育的結束，而是繼續教育的開始。”

????Jimmy Iovine, University of Southern California, 2013

????Music producer Jimmy Iovine observed that the successes he had achieved as a music producer didn’t amount to anything when he made the switch to selling Beats headphones. “So who believed that Dr. Dre and I could sell hardware,” he wondered aloud. “No one,” he answered in a speech that underscored the transient nature of success. “I learned even at 50, I had to be a beginner again.”

????“Please remember this: Your diploma does not represent the end of your education, but the beginning of your continuing education,” he added.
