毕业典礼演讲稿英文 篇1

i am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. i never graduated from college. truth be told, this is the closest i've ever gotten to a college graduation.

today i want to tell you three stories from my life. that's it. no big deal. just three stories.

the first story is about connecting the dots.

i dropped out of reed college after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before i really quit. so why did i drop out?

it started before i was born. my biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. she felt very strongly that i should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. except that when i popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. so my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "we have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" they said: "of course." my biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. she refused to sign the final adoption papers. she only relented a few months later when my parents promised that i would someday go to college.

and 17 years later i did go to college. but i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. after six months, i couldn't see the value in it. i had no idea what i wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. and here i was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. so i decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok. it was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions i ever made. the minute i dropped out i could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

it wasn't all romantic. i didn't have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends' rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5 deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna temple. i loved it. and much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. let me give you one example: reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. because i had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. i learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. it was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and i found it fascinating.

none of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. but ten years later, when we were designing the first macintosh computer, it all came back to me. and we designed it all into the mac. it was the first computer with beautiful typography. if i had never dropped in on that single course in college, the mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. and since windows just copied the mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. if i had never dropped out, i would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when i was in college. but it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. you have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. this approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

my second story is about love and loss.

i was lucky – i found what i loved to do early in life. woz and i started apple in my parents garage when i was 20. we worked hard, and in 10 years apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. we had just released our finest creation - the macintosh - a year earlier, and i had just turned 30. and then i got fired. how can you get fired from a company you started?

well, as apple grew we hired someone who i thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. but then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. when we did, our board of directors sided with him. so at 30 i was out. and very publicly out. what had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

i really didn't know what to do for a few months. i felt that i had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that i had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. i met with david packard and bob noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. i was a very public failure, and i even thought about running away from the valley. but something slowly began to dawn on me – i still loved what i did. the turn of events at apple had not changed that one bit. i had been rejected, but i was still in love. and so i decided to start over.

i didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. it freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

during the next five years, i started a company named next, another company named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.

pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. in a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i retuned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple's current renaissance. and laurene and i have a wonderful family together.

i'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if i hadn't been fired from apple. it was awful tasting medicine, but i guess the patient needed it.

sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. don't lose faith. i'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that i loved what i did.

各位领导、各位来宾、老师、同学们：

下午好!

炎炎六月，百花争艳、云雀欢唱，滚滚而来的热浪激荡着我们的心潮。今天，我们欢聚一堂，心絮飞扬，无限欣喜的迎来了08届毕业生典礼。我谨代表育才欧美外语学校向莅临08届毕业典礼的各位领导、各位来宾至以热烈的欢迎和衷心的感谢!向08届全体老师至以诚挚的谢意!向即将离别母校的08届全体同学表示热烈的祝贺!

日月如梭赶少年。三年的岁月在历史的长河中稍纵即逝，但时间却不会使记忆风化。还记得激昂赛场上的顽强拼搏，尽显英姿飒爽;还记得杨柳婆娑下的开卷吟诵，静享细雨和风;还记得砥砺前行的学子宣言，响彻育才欧美一方晴空的铮铮誓言;还记得震撼心灵的课间操上，整齐划一迈向辉煌人生的铿锵脚步;还记得悠悠彩虹谷里，我们酣畅淋漓，饱览红色沂蒙;还记得温馨的公寓里，我们促膝谈心，浓浓的师生情;还记得净洁的餐厅里，管理规范，美味佳肴音乐声声;还记得连廊上那激人奋进的标语，天行健，君子以自强不息;还记得三年来，我们形影相随，风雨兼程„„

今天，又有近一千余名学生毕业了，三年的静心苦读，今天品尝果实的芳香;三年的奋发进取，今天迎来时间的检验;三年的携手并进，今天分享成功的喜悦。我想我此刻的心情和在座的同学们一样，纵然有着欢聚一堂的兴奋和喜悦，也有着掩饰不住的留恋和伤感。回首过去难忘、激情的三年初中生活，我的心中洋溢着深情。你们有过成功的欢乐，也有过失败的沮丧，你们得到过老师和家长的赞扬，也受到过一些老师严厉的批评，但是这一切都成了过去。在同学们即将离开母校，踏上各自新的征程的时候，我希望大家不要忘记父母在你们身上花的心血;别淡忘了学校和老师对你们的期望;别淡忘了刻骨铭心的同窗友情;别虚度了光彩绚丽的青春年华;别放弃了曾经拥有的理想信念;用生命和心灵演绎自己新的精彩。你们今后将要进入一个新的学习和生活环境，到那里后，一旦偶有成功，但切记不可得意自满，要记住：“顺风顺水的船很难靠岸，没有刹车只有油门的车无法行驶。”倘若遇到困境，你也不必气馁、绝望。有道是：山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村，不经历风雨怎么见彩虹。学校和老师们，期望你们成才，关注着你们的点滴进步，永远为你们的进步而高兴，在几年十几年、几十年以后，我们希望在茫茫人海中能将你们重新辩认出来，无论你已经在某方面赫赫有名，或者在自己的岗位上默默无闻，你依然是我们育才欧美的人!

“有志者，事竟成;苦心人，天不负”。同学们，当今社会，形势喜人，形势更催人，竞争激烈，大浪淘沙。在今后的求学、求知道路上，你们将在竞争中生活，在竞争中突破，在竞争中创造，在竞争中成功。竞争需要理想，竞争需要自信。只要执着坚定，那道路的尽头，必定是轮金色的太阳。在激烈的竞争、甚至残酷面前，大家要以健康的心理，平衡的心态去面对一切，坚实基础，厚积薄发，凝聚意志，增强实力，努力书写人生新的辉煌篇章，诠释自身价值。相信大家同样取得成功!挥手告别昨天，师生情、同窗谊难以释怀;昂首迈步明天，未来梦、强国心熠熠生辉。

“走进育才欧美就是育才欧美的主人，走出育才欧美代表育才欧美形象”，“今天我以育才欧美为荣，明天育才欧美以我为荣”，同学们，学校期盼着你们在新的学习、求知道路上取得好成绩!你们已经有了腾飞的翅膀，远航的风帆。我真的很羡慕你们!你们青春年少，才华横溢，志存高远，胸怀祖国!

祝愿毕业班的每一位同学健康成长，个个成才，大展鸿图，驰骋人生!

毕业典礼演讲稿英文 篇3

你可曾受伤，在别离的空档，孤单的话没有她捧场?

你可曾受伤，五月的雨后开始流浪，任那些思念的人天各一方?

把别离的笙箫带上，一个人踏浪远航，只留下簇簇月季的浓香。

将寂寞的深夜珍藏，打开窗，一座蛙声喧嚣的荷塘。

有一份情叫爱，不要轻易理睬，谨慎每一次表白。

有一个人是她，一辈子的牵挂，遗忘后记忆留下。

那些无言的伤，如流水般惆怅，不带走一丝彷徨。

相信爱的力量，从未无息消亡，往殇尽头是希望。

五月的那场雨，一下再下，你可曾想起了她?

芳菲未尽，别离的话一打又一打，却等来一个复杂的初夏。

放弃爱的挣扎，只把幸福的回忆留下，一个人或两个人行走天涯。

合欢树下，笑着留影你我他，多少年后家常拉?

带着梦出发，几经拼搏，终成一朵朵奇葩!

六月的晚风还在路上，每一颗种子都已开花，那些香在每一块阵地飘洒。

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好!

我是六年级四班的___。今天，我们在这里隆重集会，举行我校20__届六年级学生的毕业典礼。在这个特殊的时刻，我谨代表在校生向全体毕业生致以亲切的问候和热烈的祝贺!祝贺你们顺利地完成了小学六年的学习任务，祝贺你们即将从一个新起点开始人生的新征程!

在此，我也要代表全体毕业生，向为你们的成长倾注了无数心血的老师们表示深深的敬意!正是他们的言传身教、辛勤耕耘、无私奉献，才使我们共同迎来了这个充满喜悦的丰收季节。

杳然回首，那些在小学里的日子，已经化为一张张多姿多彩的照片，一首首欢乐美妙的诗歌。几度风雨，几度春秋，我们从一个个无知的幼童成长为一名有道德、有文化、有理想的少年，六年光阴，转瞬即逝，无声无息，无影无踪。直到现在，来小学的第一天报到，我都还记忆犹新，宽敞的教室，老师温暖的笑脸，轻松的氛围，我就是在那样美好的环境下，度过了六年的漫长时光。是黄埔小学——我们的母校，您如一庭坐落在乱世之上的花圃，用清新的。空气、芬芳的泥土哺育了我们——一朵朵灿烂鲜艳的祖国之花;是您，用坚强的手臂和躯干，为我们挡下了所有的风风雨雨，为我们留下了一片鸟语花香的阴凉;是您教会了我们“君子和而不同”，是您教会了我们“亲和典雅笃行”!

一切的一切，黄埔所给予我们的，书声、笑声、歌声、掌声，今天，都也将成为永远的回忆，在我们的脑海中渺渺回荡;而我们为学校，也留下了珍贵的宝藏——成长。

忘不了，校园的一草一木，一砖一瓦，忘不了，充满阳光的教学楼;忘不了，饭堂里调皮同窗打翻忘了饭盒，慌忙害羞的样子;忘不了，小小的升旗台、飘扬着的校徽，你追我赶的操场。

十年树木，百年树人;插柳之恩，终身难忘。过去的那段日子，我们不能忘怀。但我们得到得更多的，是精神上的财富。我们也许幼稚过，也许无知过，也许懵懂过。是从小学，我们开始懂得了如何礼貌待人、真诚待人，开始懂得如何面对各种困难与挫折，也开始懂得享受生活，学会感恩。老师教于我们的淳淳教导，我们时时萦绕耳畔;老师给予我们的鼓励与力量，我们永远铭记于心;老师为我们付出的汗水，我们更是无以为报!

老师，我们也永远不会忘记您曾经给予我们的深刻的教导，永远不会忘记您在课堂上精彩的讲解，幻想的文学殿堂，神秘的数学王国，生动的英语游戏，有趣的电脑程序……

再见了，美丽的校园——我们成长的摇篮。

再见了，敬爱的老师——我们心中永远的太阳。

老师啊，母校啊，请您放心，无论走到哪里，我们将永远以母校为荣，牢记您的教诲，不辜负母校对我们的期望，更加努力、刻苦学习，大胆实践，勇于创新，以优异的成绩回报老师，回报母校，回报社会。

我代表六年级所有毕业生再次向我们的老师致以最诚挚的感谢和最崇高的敬礼。

祝愿我们的老师永远健康、年轻。

祝愿我们的母校明天更加辉煌!

我的演讲完毕，谢谢大家。

毕业典礼演讲稿英文 篇5

尊敬的各位领导、敬爱的老师们、可爱的孩子们：

大家好!

今天，我们怀着无比喜悦的心情，在这里隆重举行城关小学xx级学生毕业典礼，我代表全体老师，向在座的400多名同学表示热烈地祝贺!向辛勤耕耘的班主任、任课教师表示衷心的感谢!咱们敬爱的刘校长、同校长、苗校长等学校领导对我们这一级毕业班尤其重视，连续几次召开毕业班会议，为我们悉心指导，排忧解难，并对我们的毕业考试和升学考试充满了信心。在此，孩子们，让我们用热烈的掌声感谢我们的领导!同时，我们全体六年级老师为你们即将跨入中学这个大熔炉里，将结识到更加优秀的老师，更加亲密的同学，接受更好的教育，得到更好的发展而表示热烈的祝贺!

此时此刻，我想每位同学心里都会有快乐和悲伤两种感觉。一方面为自己即将要面对的崭新生活而高兴，另一方面又为我们即将离开与你朝夕相处的老师、同学而悲伤。我们今天的毕业典礼既代表着我们六年小学生活的结束，又标志着每位同学的一段新的人生经历的开始。孩子们，六年的小学生活给我们带来了什么呢?我想除了知识和能力以外，它给我们带来的最宝贵的就是一个个美好的回忆。在我写这篇发言稿时，又回忆起了一幅幅精彩的画面：早读时你们专心致志读书的场景;运动场上你们矫健的身影;夺冠时脸上洋溢的笑容;考场上皱眉凝思的表情，当然还有你们的天真和顽皮……这些画面是你们离开城小后送给老师们最珍贵的礼物。我们的母校也留给了你们太多，太多：一流完备的教学设施，高素质的教师队伍，安全可靠的保障体系，为同学们的健康成长保驾护航。这些都缘于我们学校领导的高瞻远瞩，老师们辛勤的付出，忘我的奉献。正是因为有了这些，我们才得到了全面的发展，收获了累累的硕果，收获了浓浓的师生情。

俗话说，“知恩必报”，但是孩子们，你们知道吗?在座的老师最想得到的回报是什么吗?那么让我告诉你们，不是金银财宝，不是绫罗绸缎!仅仅只是大家从心底喊出的一声“谢谢老师”!来，大家起立，请让我们一起发自肺腑地道一声“谢谢您，老师!”

临别时，我想给大家几条赠言：一、要树立长期或短期的目标，要有清醒的头脑，比学赶帮超，时时刻刻不放松自己;二、继续发扬“刻苦求实”精神，不断学习，勤于实践，勇于创新。希望在今后的日子里，坚持学习，只有不断的学习才能不断的提高，才能跟上时代的发展，才能使你以后不管做什么工作都能得心应手，取得成功和胜利!(演讲稿)三、要脚踏实地，从小事做起，从一点一滴做起，克服好高骛远的不良作风。在前进的道路上难免会遇到各种各样的困难，希望大家要有充分的思想准备，要有百折不挠、坚韧不拔的意志。四、尽心付出与心存感激，在你力所能及去帮助别人的同时，更不能忘记曾经热心帮助过你的每一个人!

“感恩的心，感谢有你，伴我一生让我有勇气做我自己。”孩子们，我提议，让我们怀着一颗感恩的心，对我们的母校说一声，请跟我来，“我幸福在城关小学成长!今天我以城关小学为荣，明天城关小学以我为荣!”

孩子们，在你求学生涯中，你要面临一次次，一场场小型或大型的考试或比赛，毕业考试的号角声即将吹响，我们全体老师的心与你们一起跳动。爱拼才会赢!只要我们努力拼搏，就能取得成功。

最后衷心的祝愿你们学业成功!人生成功!欢迎大家以后常回家看看。谢谢大家!
