布莱尔演讲——《###珍惜现在,把握未来》

It is an honor to be here and say to the Yale College Class of 2008: you did it; you came through; from all of us to you: congratulations.

The issues you must wrestle with-the threat of climate change, food scarcity, and population growth, worldwide terror based on religion, the interdependence of world economy-my student generation would barely recognize. But the difference today is they are essentially global in nature.

Your understand this. Yale has become a melting pot of culture, language and civilization. You are the global generation. So be global citizens.

Each new generation finds the world they enter. But they fasion the world they leave. So: what do you inherit and what do you pass on?

The history of humankind is marked by great events but written by great people.

People like you.

珍惜现在,把握未来

Given Yale’s record of achievement, perhaps by you.

So to you as individuals, what wisdom, if any, have I learnt?

First, in fact, keep learning. Always to be alive to the possibilities of the next experience, of thinking, doing and being.

When Buddha was asked, near the end of his life, to describe his secret, he answered bluntly: “I’m awake”.

So be awake.

Understand conventional wisdom, but be prepared to change it.

Feel as well as analyze; use you instinct alongside your reason. Calculate too much and you will miscalculate.

Be prepared to fail as well as to succeed, realist it is failure not success that defines character.

I spent years trying to be a politician failing at every attempt and nearly gave up. I know you’re thinking: I should have.

Sir Paul McCartney reminded me that the first record company the Beatles approached rejected them as a band no-one would want to listen to.

Be good to people on your way up because you never know if you will meet them again on your way down.

Judge someone by how they treat those below them not those above them.
