1
Let's call them tennis lessons.
2
So here's the first.
3
Effortless is a myth.
4
I mean it.
5
I say that as someone who has heard that word a lot.
6
Effortless.
7
People would say my play was effortless.
8
Most of the time they meant it as a compliment, but it used to frustrate me when they would say he barely broke a sweat or is even trying.
9
The truth is I had to work very hard to to make it look easy.
10
I spent years whining, swearing, throwing my racket before I learned to keep my cool.
11
The wake -up call came early in my career when an opponent at the Italian Open publicly questioned my mental discipline.
12
He said, Roger will be the favorite for the first two hours, then I'll be the favorite after that.
13
I was puzzled at first, but eventually I realized what he was trying to say.
14
Everybody can play well the first two hours.
15
You're fit, you're fast, you're clear and after two hours your legs get wobbly, your mind starts wandering and your discipline starts to fade.
16
It made me understand I have so much work ahead of me and I'm ready to go on this journey.
17
I get it.
18
My parents, my coaches, my fitness coach, everyone had been calling me out and now even my rivals were doing it.
19
Players, thank you.
20
I'm eternally grateful for what you did because you made me work harder.
21
So I started to train harder, a lot harder actually, but then I realized winning effortlessly is the ultimate achievement.
22
I got that reputation because my warm -ups at the tournaments were so casual that people didn't think I'd been training hard.
23
But I had been working hard before the tournament when nobody was watching.
24
Maybe you've seen a version of this at Dartmouth.
25
How many times did you feel like your classmates were racking up A after A without even trying
26
while you were pulling all -nighters?
27
Loading up on caffeine, maybe, or crying softly in a corner of Sanborn Library?
28
Hopefully, like me, you learned that effortless is a myth.
29
I didn't get where I got on pure talent alone.
30
I got there by trying to outwork my opponents.
31
I believed in myself, but belief in yourself has to be earned.
32
There was a moment in 2003 when my self -belief really kicked in.
33
I was at the ATP Finals where only the best eight players qualified.
34
And I beat some of the top players I really, really admired by aiming right at their strength.
35
Before, I would run away from their strength.
36
If a guy had a strong forehand, I would try to hit his backhand.
37
But now, I would try to go after his forehand.
38
I tried to beat the baseliners from the baseline.
39
I tried to beat the attackers by attacking.
40
I tried to beat the net rushers from the net.
41
I took a chance by doing that.
42
So why did I do it?
43
To amplify my game and expand my options.
44
You need a whole arsenal of strength.
45
So if one of them breaks down, you've got something left.
46
When your game is clicking like that, winning is easy, relatively.
47
Then there are days when you just feel broken.
48
When your back hurts, your knee hurts, I've had that a lot.
49
Maybe you're a little sick or scared, but you still find a way to win.
50
And those are the victories we can be most proud of.
51
Because they prove that you can win not just when you're at your best, but especially when you aren't.
52
Yes, talent matters.
53
I'm not going to stand here and tell you it doesn't.
54
But talent has a broad definition.
55
Most of the time it's not about having a gift, it's about having grit.
56
In tennis a great forehand with sick racket head speed can be called a talent.
57
But in tennis, like in life, discipline is also a talent and so is patience.
58
Trusting yourself is a talent.
59
Embracing the process, loving the process is a talent.
60
Managing your life, managing yourself.
61
These can be talents too.
62
Some people are born with them.
63
Everybody has to work at them.
64
From this day forward, some people are going to assume that because you graduated from Dartmouth, it all is going to come easy for you.
65
And you know what?
66
Let them believe that, as long as you don't.
67
Okay, second lesson.
68
It's only a point.
69
Let me explain.
70
You can work harder than you thought possible and still lose.
71
I have, many times.
72
Tennis is brutal.
73
There's no getting around the fact that every tournament ends the same way.
74
One player gets a trophy.
75
Every other player gets back on a plane, stares out of the window, and thinks, how the hell did I miss that shot?
76
Imagine if today only one of you got a degree.
77
Congratulations, this year's graduate.
78
Let's give her a hand.
79
The rest of you, the other 1 ,000 of you, better luck next time.
80
So, you know, I tried not to lose, but I did lose, sometimes big.
81
For me, one of the biggest was the finals at Wimbledon in 2008, me versus Nadal.
82
Some call it the greatest match of all time.
83
Okay, all respect to Rafa, but I think it would have been way, way better if I had won.
84
losing at wimbledon was a big deal
85
because wimbledon winning wimbledon is everything obviously except winning
86
that dartmouth master pong title sophomore summer it is i mean
87
i've gotten to play in some amazing venues around the world
88
but when you have the chance to walk onto center court at wimbledon the cathedral of tennis
89
and when you finish as the champion you feel the magnitude of the moment and there's nothing like it In 2008,
90
I was going for a record six consecutive title.
91
I was playing for history.
92
I'm not going to walk you through the match point by point.
93
If we did, we would be here for hours, almost five hours to be exact.
94
There were rain delays.
95
The sun went down.
96
Rafa won two sets.
97
I won the next two sets in tie breaks.
98
And we found ourselves at seven all in the fifth.
99
I understand why people focus on the end.
100
The final minute so dark I could barely see the chalk on the grass, but looking back I feel like I lost at the very first point of the match.
101
I looked across the net and I saw a guy who just a few weeks earlier crushed me in straight
102
sets at the French Open and I thought this guy is maybe hungrier than I am and he's finally got my number.
103
It took me onto the third set before I remembered, hey buddy, you're the five time defending champion
104
and you're on grass by the way you know how to do this
105
but I came too late and Rafa won
106
and it was well deserved some defeats her more than others
107
I knew I would never get another shot at six in
108
a row I lost Wimbledon I lost my number one ranking
109
and suddenly people said he had a great run is this the changing of the guard
110
but I knew what I had to do keep working
111
and keep competing in tennis perfection is impossible in the 1526
112
singles matches i played in my career i won almost 80
113
of those matches now i have a question for you what
114
percentage of points do you think i want in those matches
115
only 54 in other words even top ranked tennis players when barely more than half of the points they play.
116
When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.
117
You teach yourself to think, okay, I double -faulted, it's only a point.
118
Okay, I came to the net, then I got passed again, it's only a point.
119
Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist, that too is just a point.
120
So here's why I'm telling you this.
121
When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world, and it is.
122
But when it's behind you, it's behind you.
123
This mindset is really crucial because it frees you to fully commit to the next point and the next point after that.
124
With intensity, clarity, and focus.
125
The truth is, whatever game you play in life, sometimes you're going to lose.
126
A point, a match, a season, a job it's a roller coaster with many ups
127
and downs and it's natural when you're down to doubt yourself
128
and to feel sorry for yourself
129
and by the way your opponents have self -doubt too don't ever forget
130
that but negative energy is wasted energy you want to become a master at overcoming hard moments
131
that is to me the sign of a champion the best in the world are not the best
132
because they win every point it's because they know they'll lose again
133
and again and have learned how to deal with it you accept it try it out
134
if you need to and then force a smile you move on be relentless
135
adapt
136
and grow work harder work smarter remember work smarter lesson three
137
are you guys still with me for a for a guy
138
who left school at 16 this is a lot of lessons as well for me too
139
so here's the third here's the third one life is bigger
140
than the court a tennis court is a small space two thousand one hundred
141
and six square feet to be exact that's what singles matches
142
not much bigger than a dorm room I can make that three or four dorm rooms in mass row
143
I worked a lot, learned a lot and ran a lot of miles in that small space, but the world is a whole lot bigger than that.
144
Even when I was just starting out, I knew that tennis could show me the world, but tennis could never be the world.
145
I knew that if I was lucky, maybe I could play competitively until my late 30s, maybe even 41.
146
But even when I was in the top five, it was important to me to have a life, a rewarding life, full of travel, culture, friendships and especially family.
147
I never abandoned my roots, I never forgot where I came from, but I also never lost my appetite to see the very big world.
148
I left home at 14 to go to school in the French part of Switzerland for two years
149
and I was horribly homesick at first but learned to love a life on the move.
150
But these are the reasons I never burned out, maybe.
151
I was excited to travel the world, but not just as a tourist.
152
I realized pretty early that I wanted to serve other people in other countries.
153
Motivated by my South African mother, I started a foundation to empower children through education.
154
Early childhood education is something we take for granted in a place like Switzerland, But in sub -Saharan Africa,
155
75 % of children do not have access to preschool.
156
Think about that, 75%.
157
Like all children, they need a good start if they're going to fulfill their potential.
158
And so far, we've helped nearly 3 million children to get a quality education
159
and help to train more than 55 ,000 teachers.
160
It's been an honor.
161
Thank you.
162
It's been an honour and it's been humbling, an honour to help tackle this challenge and humbling to see how complex it is,
163
humbling to try to read stories to children in one of the languages of Lezutu,
164
humbling also to arrive in rural Zambia and have to explain what tennis actually is.
165
I vividly remember drawing a tennis court on the chalkboard for the kids to see
166
because I asked them what tennis was and one kid said it's the one with the table right with the paddles
167
pong again it's everywhere I have to tell you it's a wonderful feeling to visit these incredible rural places
168
and to find classrooms full of children who are learning and reading
169
and playing like children everywhere should be allowed to do it's
170
also inspiring to see what they grow up to be some
171
have become nurses teachers computer programmers it's been an exciting journey
172
graduates i know the same is true for you your parents your families they made the sacrifices
173
to get you here and they have shared your triumphs
174
and your struggles they will always always be in your corner
175
and not only them as you head out into the world
176
don't forget you get to bring all of this with you
177
this culture this energy these people this color green it's everywhere the friends who have pushed you
178
and supported you to become the best versions of yourself the
179
friends who will never stop cheering for you just like today
180
and you will keep making friends in the Dartmouth community possibly even today
181
so right now turn to people on your left
182
and on your right
183
and maybe this is the first time you've met you might not share experiences
184
or viewpoints but you share this memory and a whole lot more
185
when i left tennis i became a former tennis player
186
but you are not a former anything you are future record breakers world travelers future volunteers
187
and philanthropists future winners
188
and future leaders I'm here to tell you from the other side of graduation
189
that leaving a familiar world behind and finding new ones is incredibly, deeply, wonderfully exciting.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
