????在畢業(yè)典禮上，很少有演講嘉賓愿意分享那些源自真實(shí)工作經(jīng)歷，令人不舒服的人生感悟，能夠撼動(dòng)畢業(yè)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(diǎn)。他們并沒有重復(fù)“相信自己”這樣的陳詞濫調(diào)，而是動(dòng)情地講述了自身生活經(jīng)歷中那些促使他們成長(zhǎng)為業(yè)界佼佼者的失敗、質(zhì)疑和盲點(diǎn)。

????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.

????吉米?艾歐文，南加州大學(xué)，2013年

????音樂制作人吉米?艾歐文發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己作為音樂制作人所取得的成功，對(duì)于改行賣Beats耳機(jī)沒有任何用處。在演講中，他大聲地說出自己曾經(jīng)的疑惑：“誰(shuí)相信說唱巨星Dr. Dre和我會(huì)去賣硬件？沒有人相信。”他隨后著重強(qiáng)調(diào)了成功的短暫性：“在50歲的時(shí)候，我知道我必須從頭做起?！?/p>

????他補(bǔ)充說：“請(qǐng)記住一點(diǎn)：你的學(xué)歷并不代表教育的結(jié)束，而是繼續(xù)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.
