Stanford University.

Please join me in welcoming Tim Cook.

Thank you, thank you.

Good morning, class of 2019.

Thank you, President Tessier -Levine, for that very generous introduction.

I'll do my best to earn it.

Before I begin, I want to recognize everyone whose hard work made this celebration possible,

including the groundskeepers, ushers, volunteers, and crew.

Thank you.

I am deeply honored and frankly a little astonished to be invited to join you for this most meaningful of occasions.

Graduates, this is your day, but you didn't get here alone.

Family and friends, teachers, mentors, loved ones, and of course your parents all work together to make you possible

and they share your joy today here on Father's Day let's give the dads in particular a round of applause

Stanford is near to my heart not least because I live just a mile and a half from here.

Of course, if my accent hasn't given it away, for the first part of my life, I had to admire this place from a distance.

I went to school on the other side of the country at Auburn University in the heart of landlocked eastern Alabama.

You may not know this, but I was on the sailing team all four years.

It wasn't easy.

Back then the closest marina was a three -hour drive.

For practice most of the time we had to wait for a heavy rainstorm to flood the football field.

And tying knots is hard. Who knew?

Yet But somehow, against all odds, we managed to beat Stanford every time.

We must have gotten lucky with a win.

Kidding aside, I know the real reason I'm here, and I don't take it lightly.

Stanford and Silicon Valley's roots are woven together.

We're part of the same ecosystem.

It was true when Steve stood on the stage 14 years ago.

It's true today, and presumably it'll be true for a while longer still.

The past few decades have lifted us together.

But today, we gather at a moment that demands some reflection.

Fueled by caffeine and code, optimism and idealism, conviction and creativity,

generations of Stanford graduates and dropouts have used technology to remake our society.

But I think you would agree that lately the results haven't been neat or straightforward forward.

In just the four years that you've been here at the farm, things feel like they've taken a sharp turn.

Crisis has tempered optimism.

Consequences have challenged idealism.

And reality has shaken blind faith.

And yet we are still drawn here.

For good reason.

Big dreams live here, as do the genius and passion to make them real.

In an age of cynicism, this place still believes that the human capacity to solve problems is boundless.

But so it seems is our potential to create them.

That's what I'm interested in talking about today today.

Because if I've learned one thing, it's that technology doesn't change who we are, it magnifies who we are,

the good and the bad.

Our problems in technology, in politics, wherever, are human problems.

From the Garden of Eden to today,

it's our humanity that got us into this mess and it's our humanity that's going to have to get us out.

First things first, here's a plain fact.

Silicon Valley is responsible for some of the most revolutionary inventions in modern history.

From the first oscillator built in the Hewlett Packard garage to the iPhones that I know you're holding in your hands.

social media shareable videos snaps and stories

that connect half the people on earth they all trace their roots to Stanford's backyard

but lately it seems this industry is becoming better known for a less noble innovation the belief

that you can claim credit without accepting responsibility.

We see it every day now with every data breach,

every privacy violation, every blind eye turned to hate speech, fake news poisoning our national conversation,

the false miracles in exchange for a single drop of your blood it.

Too many seem to think that good intentions excuse away harmful outcomes.

But whether you like it or not, what you build and what you create define who you are.

It feels a bit crazy that anyone should have to say this, but if you've built a chaos factory, you You can't dodge responsibility for the chaos.

Taking responsibility means having the courage to think things through.

And there are few areas where this is more important than privacy.

If we accept as normal and unavoidable that everything in our lives can be aggregated,

sold or even leaked in the event of a hack, then we lose so much more than data.

We lose the freedom to be human.

Think about what's at stake.

Everything you write, everything you say, every topic of curiosity, every stray thought,

every impulsive purchase, every moment of frustration or weakness, every gripe or complaint every secret shared in confidence.

In a world without digital privacy, even if you have done nothing wrong other than think differently,

you begin to censor yourself.

Not entirely at first, just a little bit by bit.

To risk less, to hope less, to imagine less, to dare less, to create less, to try less,

to talk less, to think less.

The chilling effect of digital surveillance is profound and it touches everything.

What a small unimaginative world we would end up with.

Not entirely at first, just a little, bit by bit.

Ironically, it's the kind of environment that would have stopped Silicon Valley before it had ever gotten started.

We deserve better.

You deserve better.

However, if we believe that freedom means an environment where great ideas can take root,

where they can grow and be nurtured without fear of irrational restrictions or burdens, then it's our duty to change course.

Because your generation ought to have the same freedom to shape the future as the generation that came before for.

Graduates, at the very least, learn from these mistakes.

If you want to take credit, first, learn to take responsibility.

Now, a lot of you, the vast majority, won't find yourselves in tech at all.

That's as it should be.

We need your minds at work far and wide

because our challenges are great and they can't be solved by any single industry.

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I know you will be ambitious.

You wouldn't be here today if you weren't.

Match that ambition with humility.

A humility of purpose.

That doesn't mean being tamer, being smaller, being less than what you do.

It's the opposite.

It's about serving something greater.

The author Madeline L 'Engle wrote,

Humility is throwing oneself away in complete concentration on something or someone else.

In other words, whatever you do with your life, be a builder.

100

You don't have to start from scratch to build something monumental.

101

And conversely, the best founders,

102

the ones whose creations last and whose reputations grow rather than shrink with passing time,

103

they spend most of their time building piece by piece.

104

Builders are comfortable in the belief that their life's work will one day be bigger than them, bigger than any one person.

105

They're mindful that its effects will span generations.

106

That's not an accident.

107

In a way, it's the whole point.

108

In a few days, we will mark the 50th anniversary of the riots at Stonewall.

109

When the patrons of the Stonewall Inn showed up that night, people of all races, gay and transgender,

110

young and old, they had no idea what history had in store for them.

111

It would have seemed foolish to dream it.

112

When the door was busted open by police, it was not the knock of opportunity or the call of destiny.

113

It was just another instance of the world telling them that they ought to feel worthless for being different.

114

But the group gathered there felt something strange,

115

strength in them, a conviction that they deserve something better than the shadows and better than oblivion.

116

And if it wasn't going to be given, then they were going to have to build it themselves.

117

I was eight years old and a thousand miles away when Stonewall happened.

118

There were no news alerts, no way for photos to go viral,

119

no mechanism for a kid on the Gulf Coast to hear these unlikely heroes tell their stories.

120

Greenwich Village may as well have been a different planet,

121

though I can tell you that the slurs and hatreds were the same.

122

What I would not know for a long time was what

123

I owed to a group of people I never knew in a place I'd never been.

124

Yet, I will never stop being grateful for what they had the courage to build.

125

Graduates, being a builder is about believing

126

that you cannot possibly be the greatest cause on this earth because you aren't built to last.

127

It's about making peace with the fact that you won't be here for the end of the story.

128

That brings me to my last bit of advice.

129

14 years ago, Steve stood on this stage and told your predecessors,

130

your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

131

Here's my corollary.

132

Your mentors may leave you prepared, but they can't leave you ready.

133

When Steve got sick, I had hardwired my thinking to the belief that he would get better.

134

I not only thought he would hold on, I was convinced down to my core that he'd still be guiding Apple long after I,

135

myself, was gone.

136

Then one day, he called me over to his house and told me that it wasn't going to be that way.

137

Even then, I was convinced he would stay on as chairman, that he would step back from the day -to -day but always be there as a sounding board.

138

But there was no reason to believe that.

139

I never should have thought it.

140

The facts were all there.

141

And when he was gone,

142

truly gone, I learned the real visceral difference between preparation and readiness.

143

It was the loneliest I've ever felt in my life by an order of magnitude.

144

It was one of those moments where you can be surrounded by people, yet you don't really see, hear, or feel them.

145

But I could sense their expectations.

146

When the dust settled, all I knew was

147

that I was going to have to be the best version of myself that I could be.

148

I knew that if you got out of bed every morning and set your watch by what other people expect or demand, it'd drive you crazy.

149

So what was true then is true now.

150

Don't waste your time living someone else's life.

151

Don't try to emulate the people who came before you to the exclusion of everything else contorting into a shape

152

that doesn't fit.

153

It takes too much mental effort, effort that should be dedicated to creating and building.

154

You'll waste precious time trying to rewire your every thought.

155

And in the meantime, you won't be fooling anybody.

156

Graduates, the fact is, when your time comes, and it will, you'll never be ready.

157

But you're not supposed to be.

158

Find the hope in the unexpected.

159

Find the courage in the challenge.

160

Find your vision on the solitary road.

161

Don't get distracted.

162

There are too many people who want credit without responsibility.

163

Too many who show up for the ribbon cutting without building anything worth a dam. Be different.

164

Leave something worthy.

165

And always remember that you can't take it with you.

166

You're going to have to pass it on.

167

Thank you very much and congratulations to the class of 2019!

168

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
