1
Thank you, Dean Gallagher, and Distinguished members, the of the faculty, the people on the podium and this wonderful audience,
2
the class of 2026 their friends and family Greetings to everyone.
3
It's a profound honour and privilege to address you today at the 92nd Commencement.
4
of the Fletcher School.
5
Thank you.
6
I must say, To today's graduates, this occasion marks a significant milestone in your lives,
7
one that reflects both what you have achieved and what now lies ahead And of course, that is not a neatly scripted future.
8
but a series of unfolding questions to which you will be expected to supply your own answers.
9
On such a day, therefore, one does not presume to instruct, but to reflect.
10
and to offer a few insights shaped by experience, And I stand before you today in that spirit.
11
with the extra satisfaction of it being .
12
Reunion year for my class as well.
13
here at Fletcher.
14
To find myself back here 51 years after I first navigated these corridors as a student,
15
is to be reminded how profoundly a place can imprint itself upon a life.
16
Fletcher did not merely equip me with credentials, It furnished me with a way of thinking about the world and my place within it.
17
To stand before you now at the threshold of your own journeys is both a joy and a deeply personal homecoming.
18
I first arrived at the Fletcher School as a 19 -year -old from India in 1975, full of curiosity and not entirely sure what lay ahead.
19
Like many of you, I was stepping into a new world, One that was at once exciting and at times a little daunting.
20
I was by far the youngest student of the school,
21
and the only one with no work experience other than a long list of extracurricular activities and published articles.
22
But that made me all the more receptive to new learning.
23
Fletcher did what the best institutions do, It altered the way I thought about the world and quietly instilled in me that process,
24
in that process, a sense that learning must ultimately serve a larger public purpose.
25
I still remember the culture shock of coming from a country where a car was a luxury for most adults, to seeing the number of vehicles in the students parking lot,
26
of rushing out with an Egyptian classmate to gamble in the first snowfall either of us had ever seen.
27
discovering as a vegetarian that my only dining options at Fletcher were the boiled peas
28
and carrots that were served on the side of the real meals.
29
My first lesson here was to learn to adjust.
30
But Kelly, I did become an amoeba.
31
In the years that followed, as Kelly told you, I completed not one but three degrees here, And she has graciously listed my milestones.
32
But in many ways, as I say, beyond those milestones, those credentials, What Fletcher gave me is because in many ways it's a rare institution,
33
one that combined both intellectual rigor with a genuine engagement with the world as it is and as it ought to be.
34
It's no exaggeration to say that Whatever I've been able to accomplish since, whether at the United Nations or in Indian politics,
35
has its roots in the education I received here.
36
Those lessons have stayed with me ever since.
37
In every role I've been fortunate enough to undertake.
38
Now, this school was founded in 1933 as, and I quote from the founding document, an act of hope in a time of despair,
39
And "a boost to internationalism at a time of isolationism." Fletcher described its students as,
40
and I quote again, committed to maintaining the stability and prosperity of a complex,
41
challenging and increasingly global society." 93 years later,
42
That mission statement still holds up pretty well.
43
Fletcher is a place where you study the world as it is, while being trained to think about the world it's becoming.
44
The Fletcher thought us to make sense of the world, And it must be said today that the world is offering rather more to make sense of than it once did.
45
for we are living through a period of turbulence and transition in the global order, as Professor Chidi has already said.
46
What we are witnessing is not merely change, but an interregnum.
47
an uneasy passage between an old order that is fading and a new one that has yet to coherently take shape.
48
The rules -based system that many of us once took for granted is no longer
49
as stable or as universal as it appeared.
50
norms that once restrained power are increasingly treated as optional.
51
And the language of international law now sounds more like aspiration than obligation.
52
We inhabit an age in which principles are often proclaimed universally, and applied selectively.
53
The certainties that underpinned international relations for decades are giving way to a more fluid and at times more unpredictable landscape. In this changing environment,
54
where international relations are less often guided by shared norms we are witnessing a renewed emphasis
55
on power and competition in pursuit of strategic advantage.
56
Increasingly, domains that were once seen as neutral are being drawn into the logic of reality of rivalry.
57
with economic choices and technological capabilities alike, acquiring strategic weights and political consequence.
58
States are acting with greater assertiveness sometimes taking risks that would once have seemed unthinkable,
59
and employing every instrument at their disposal economic, technological and political to secure advantage.
60
It is in many ways a return to a more transactional and perhaps more brutal form of global politics.
61
At the same time, the forces of globalization have drawn us closer together than ever before.
62
Our economies, our technologies, even our societies are deeply interconnected.
63
This interdependence has brought immense opportunity.
64
but it's also introduced new vulnerabilities.
65
what was once seen as mutual dependence is now often viewed as strategic exposure.
66
prompting nations to rethink supply chains, partnerships, and long -held economic assumptions.
67
We are both more interconnected and more divided. than ever.
68
The old idea of "du commerce," that trade would promote good relations between countries because of mutual economic benefits and mutual dependency,
69
has given way to near -shoring, tariffs and the weaponizing of dependencies.
70
The belief that the accountant's ledger could finally replace the soldier's bayonet
71
has given way to one where the handshake has been replaced by the chokehold.
72
This is a world, as I argue in the latest issue of the Fletcher Forum, of interdependence without trust.
73
Overlaying all of this is a convergence of crises that define our present moment.
74
What we are witnessing is not a series of discrete crises.
75
But Apathe, where disruption in one corner of the world reverberates in another.
76
where global shocks increasingly overlap testing the resilience of our institutions and our societies.
77
We inhabit a world of what my late boss, Gofi Annan, once described as problems without passports.
78
Pandemics, climate change, cyber threats, financial contagion.
79
challenges that no nation, however powerful, can resolve alone.
80
Their impact is profound.
81
and their scale serves as a reminder that we still need to find ways to cooperate
82
in the interests of our common humanity.
83
And yet the mechanisms of collective action are themselves under strain.
84
Multilateralism, which once offered a means of addressing shared challenges, now struggles to command the same confidence or cohesion.
85
institutions and norms created in another era.
86
are being questioned not only for their effectiveness, but for their legitimacy.
87
even as a need for cooperation has never been greater.
88
Nations are more often than ever before turning inward or choosing more selective forms of engagement.
89
The results is a more fragmented system of global governance.
90
with cooperation is harder to sustain.
91
Some people rashly speak of tossing aside the UN system and all that underpins it.
92
I'm reminded of a story I did tell yesterday to a smaller audience.
93
of a former Soviet ambassador to the UN when confronted with the same proposition The UN isn't working, let's shut it down.
94
said he was reminded of a story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
95
When Adam found that Eve was becoming somewhat indifferent to him.
96
And Adam said to Eve, Eve.
97
Is there someone else?
98
Now you think about that for a minute.
99
Because that is the question we have to ask about the UN system and multilaterals.
100
Is there anything else?
101
Is there an alternative?
102
Yes, in response to this uncertainty, we are seeing in many countries a growing emphasis on self -reliance, strategic autonomy.
103
Countries are seeking to strengthen their domestic capacities, to reduce dependencies and to assert greater control over critical sectors.
104
This reflects a quiet but significant shift in thinking.
105
where resilience is beginning to matter as much as efficiency.
106
and with the ability to withstand disruption is seen as a form of power in its own right.
107
This instinct is understandable.
108
but it also reflects a world in which trust is more fragile and the future seems less assured.
109
This class of 26 is the world you're graduating into.
110
One not easily defined by clear alliances or simple narratives.
111
It's a world of blurred alignments where nations pursue pragmatic partnerships rather than fixed loyalties.
112
and where it sometimes seems that the only rule is that there are no rules.
113
This world demands an ability to navigate ambiguity.
114
to hold competing ideas in tension and to make decisions in the absence of complete certainty.
115
adaptability, awareness, and a willingness to engage with complexity will not be Merely useful qualities, they will be essential ones.
116
There's also a subtler shift underway, one that is less visible but no less consequential.
117
The contest today is not only over territory or trade, but over ideas, narratives, and the authority to define them.
118
Information travels faster than ever but so too does disinformation.
119
and fake news.
120
It said that if you're not on social media, you're uninformed.
121
If you are on social media, you're misinformed.
122
In such an environment, the ability to discern to question and to hold on to your intellectual integrity becomes indispensable.
123
The challenge is not merely to know more, but to understand better.
124
to be able to relate claims to contexts.
125
to have a substantive knowledge to separate fact from fiction, propaganda from prejudice.
126
At the same time, the lines between the domestic and the international have grown increasingly blurred.
127
Decisions taken within nations now carry immediate global consequences.
128
just as global developments shape domestic realities in profound ways.
129
the challenges we face do not respect borders.
130
Yet the solutions we pursue are too often limited by them.
131
the issues you will confront whether in public policy, in business or in civil society, will demand an ability to think across boundaries,
132
to connect the local with the global, and to recognize that the two are in truth inseparable.
133
And yet for all its uncertainty, this is also a moment of possibility.
134
periods of transition However unsettling, creates space for renewal and for new forms of leadership As a good professor said, don't waste a great crisis.
135
This calls for individuals who are willing not only to respond to change, but to shape it.
136
For if this era is defined by disruption, It is equally defined by the opportunity to rebuild a more balanced and more inclusive order.
137
When the Suez crisis erupted 70 years ago and the UN Security Council was bitterly divided, that must sound familiar to many of us today,
138
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld invented peacekeeping.
139
using the neutral armies of the smaller and middle powers It wasn't mentioned in the UN Charter, But it saved the day.
140
When the US first threatened to bomb Baghdad in 1998, over non -compliance with weapons inspections.
141
kofi annan got onto a plane and flew there to persuade saddam san to comply
142
He did it at 24 hours notice I was with him on that trip.
143
In both cases, by giving the antagonist a ladder to climb down, These unscripted interventions diffused crises.
144
Not everyone can be in the position of a hammer shoulder or an annan, nor be inclined to risk their positions by attempting something unprecedented.
145
Many would have considered such efforts The Lulu.
146
Still, in your own areas of work, you can vow not to be custodians of paralysis.
147
but agents of imaginative action.
148
push the envelope.
149
Much of your finest work might never make the headlines.
150
but it will endure in solutions found and quite compromises away from the flash bombs.
151
Wear, in those cases, your anonymity as a badge of honor.
152
But never stop trying.
153
The Fletcher School is today, in my view, more necessary than ever.
154
It's a place that insists on looking outward on engaging with difference rather than retreating from it,
155
on understanding that complexity is not an obstacle to be avoided, but a reality to be navigated.
156
It brings together people from different countries,
157
disciplines and perspectives and asks them not merely to learn but also to learn from one another.
158
That is no small thing.
159
In a world easily tempted by simple answers and narrow horizons, an education that teaches you to think globally,
160
to listen carefully, and to act with a sense of responsibility beyond yourself, is not just valuable, It's indispensable.
161
and that, to my mind, is why Fletcher matters.
162
As you leave these portals, you stand at a threshold.
163
Behind you, lie years of structured learning, before you stretches the far less predictable terrain of lived experience.
164
There will be moments of triumph.
165
and moments of uncertainty.
166
And in navigating both, you will draw not only upon the knowledge you've acquired here, but upon the values you choose to uphold.
167
If there's one lesson I've learned over the years, it's that the world will rarely conform to your expectations.
168
It will surprise you unsettle you and at times disappoint you.
169
but it will also offer moments of possibility that you could not have anticipated.
170
The task before you is not to control that uncertainty but to engage with it thoughtfully.
171
and with purpose.
172
Knowledge alone is not enough.
173
The world is already full of intelligent people who can identify problems from a safe distance.
174
What matters is the willingness to take responsibility for solving them.
175
In the years ahead, difficult choices will inevitably arise.
176
when they do I hope you will choose not only what is convenient, but what is right.
177
You will at times be wrong.
178
occasionally even spectacularly so.
179
You will misjudge people.
180
misunderstand problems, Perhaps find yourself wondering whether you've taken an entirely wrong turn.
181
This is not failure.
182
It is the price of engagement.
183
The true failure lies in withdrawing.
184
in retreating into cynicism or worse of all, into indifference.
185
You will also discover that progress is seldom linear.
186
There will be setbacks, frustrations and moments when the distance between aspiration and reality seems unbridgeable.
187
I'll say it again: keep trying.
188
Change more often than not is incremental.
189
the result of sustained effort rather than sudden transformation.
190
What matters is not that you succeeded every step, but that you remain committed to the direction in which you are moving.
191
As you move forward, I would also urge you to define success. as fulfilment.
192
The world will offer you ready -made metrics for success: titles, salaries, designations.
193
Even medals.
194
But these are external validations that can neither fully capture nor sustain a sense of fulfilment.
195
It is important to ask yourself what kind of impact you wish to have.
196
The problems you want to solve the communities you want to engage with, and the values you refuse to compromise.
197
A career built solely on accumulation may impress others.
198
a career built on purpose, will sustain you.
199
Equally important is the cultivation of a parallel virtue.
200
Gratitude.
201
not as a fleeting sentiment, but as a sustained ethic.
202
The journey that has brought you here has not been yours alone.
203
It has been enabled by the patience of parents, the dedication of teachers, and the solidarity of peers.
204
To acknowledge this is important.
205
but to embody it is far more consequential.
206
For gratitude, when translated into action, becomes responsibility.
207
the responsibility to extend opportunities when you can, to mentor those who will still follow in your footsteps,
208
and to ensure that the doors that open for you are not quietly closed behind you.
209
In doing so, you move beyond the narrow confines of individual achievement, and participate in the creation of something larger, a continuum of support.
210
aspiration and shared progress.
211
The true measure of success then lies not only in what you accomplish, but in what you enable others to achieve.
212
It's in this quiet but enduring transformation from personal advancement to collective uplift,
213
that your education will find its most meaningful expression.
214
Thank you.
215
So go out into the world not to control it because you cannot, but to engage with it, often in the company of those who do not entirely agree with you,
216
to help shape it, and when necessary, to challenge it.
217
And so as you step forward into the next chapter of your lives, allow me to leave you with one more simple but enduring thought.
218
The future is not something that happens to you.
219
It's something you help create.
220
You will, in the years ahead, encounter choices that test your judgment, your courage, and your character.
221
In those moments, Resist the temptation to drift with circumstance.
222
Instead, choose deliberately.
223
Act conscientiously and remain anchored in the values you carry from here.
224
And if years from now someone were to ask what you did with your time at Fletcher, I hope your answer will not rest solely, on what you achieved.
225
but on what you changed.
226
What changed you?
227
and what you refused to ignore.
228
If you ever find yourself entirely certain of something, Take that as a sign that you may not be thinking deeply enough.
229
So stay curious.
230
Stay open.
231
Stay DeLulu.
232
I wish you courage in the face of uncertainty.
233
clarity in moments of doubt and above all the wisdom to recognise
234
that the most meaningful journeys are those undertaken not for oneself alone, but for the world we all share.
235
Congratulations, class of 2026.
236
All the very best to you.
237
Give yourselves a hand.

Thank you.

Những Kiến Thức Bạn Sẽ Học Được
Khi theo dõi video này, bạn sẽ phát triển một số kỹ năng nói tiếng Anh quan trọng. Đầu tiên, bạn sẽ học cách diễn đạt ý kiến một cách tự tin và mạch lạc. Điều này rất cần thiết khi bạn tham gia vào các cuộc thảo luận hoặc phát biểu trước đám đông. Thứ hai, video cũng cung cấp cho bạn cái nhìn sâu sắc về cách kết nối các ý tưởng, giúp bạn trở thành một người giao tiếp tốt hơn. Cuối cùng, bạn sẽ được thực hành kỹ năng lắng nghe, điều này cực kỳ quan trọng trong việc hiểu và phản hồi trong giao tiếp hàng ngày.
Nghe Những Âm Thanh Này
Trong video, có nhiều yếu tố về ngữ điệu và cách phát âm đáng chú ý mà bạn nên chú ý. Một trong số đó là hiện tượng nối âm, nơi mà những từ cuối cùng của một từ có thể kết nối với âm đầu của từ tiếp theo, tạo ra một dòng chảy tự nhiên hơn trong phát âm. Bên cạnh đó, bạn cũng sẽ nghe thấy những cách giảm âm, giúp cho lời nói trở nên nhanh chóng và tự nhiên hơn. Việc luyện nghe nói qua video này sẽ hỗ trợ bạn trong việc phát âm tiếng Anh chuẩn và tự tin hơn.
Nói Như Một Người Bản Xứ
Để có thể nói giống như người bản xứ, điều quan trọng là bạn phải chú ý đến nhịp điệu và trọng âm trong câu. Hãy thử bắt chước cách mà người nói nhấn mạnh các từ khóa và tạo ra nhịp điệu trong các câu nói của họ. Bạn có thể thực hành kỹ thuật shadowing tiếng Anh, nơi mà bạn lặp lại ngay lập tức những gì người nói vừa nói. Điều này không chỉ giúp bạn cải thiện khả năng phát âm mà còn giúp bạn trở nên tự tin hơn khi giao tiếp. Hãy sử dụng các phần mềm hỗ trợ shadowing để theo dõi tiến bộ của bạn.
Với những kỹ năng này, bạn sẽ cảm thấy tự tin hơn khi giao tiếp bằng tiếng Anh và có thể tiến bộ nhanh chóng trong việc phát âm và giao tiếp hàng ngày. Hãy bắt đầu luyện tập ngay hôm nay và cảm nhận sự khác biệt!
Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | have achieved · I've been · have stayed |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | will be expected · be reminded · were served |
| Mệnh đề quan hệ who / which + mệnh đề — thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật | people who can · those who will · those who do |
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
