I found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.

Nothing.

Nelson Mandela said, there is no passion to be found playing small

and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living.

Now, I'm sure in your experiences in school and applying to college

and picking your major and deciding what you want to do with life,

I'm sure people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.

Make sure you got something to fall back on, honey.

But I never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.

If I'm going to fall, I don't want to fall back on anything except my faith.

I want to fall forward.

I figure at least this way I'll see what I'm going to hit.

Fall forward.

This is what I mean.

Reggie Jackson struck out 2 ,600 times in his career, the most in the history of baseball.

But you don't hear about the strikeouts.

People remember the home runs.

Fall forward.

Thomas Edison conducted 1 ,000 failed experiments.

Did you know that?

I didn't know that.

Because the 1 ,001st was the light bulb.

Fall forward.

Every failed experiment is one step closer to success.

You've got to take risks, and I'm sure you've probably heard that before, But I want to talk to you about why that's so important first

You will fail at some point in your life accepted you will lose you will embarrass yourself

You will suck at something.

There's no doubt about it

And I know that's probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony, but hey I'm telling you embrace it because it's inevitable

and I should know in the acting business

you fail all the time early on in my career

I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical perfect role for me I thought except for the fact

that I can't sing so I'm in the wings I'm about to go on stage

but the guy in front of me he's singing like like like paparazzi just going on

and on and on and i'm just shrinking i'm getting smaller

and smaller so they say oh thank you very much thank you very much

and you will you'll be hearing from us

so i come out with my little sheet music

and it was it was a just my imagination by the temptations that's what i came up with

so i hand it to the the the accompanist

and uh she looks at it and looks at me and looks out at the director and was like, nice.

So I start, you know, I'm going to sing, I'm like,

this is my imagination, once again, coming away with me.

And they're not saying anything, so I'm thinking, I'm getting better, so I start getting into it.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Washington.

Thank you.

So I assumed I didn't get the job.

But the next part of the audition, he called me back.

The next part of the audition is the acting part of the audition.

Now I'm like, hey, okay, maybe I can't sing, but I know I can act.

So they pair me with this guy.

And again, I didn't know about musical theater.

And musical theater is big

so they can reach everyone all the way in the back of the stadium

and I'm more from a realistic naturalistic kind of acting where you you know

you actually talk to the person next to you

so I don't know what my line was my line was well hand me the cup

and his line was well I will hand

you the cup my dear the cup will be there to

be handed to you I said okay well should I give you the cup back oh yes

you should give it back to me because you know

that is my cup and it should be given back to me I didn't get the job but here's the thing

I didn't quit I didn't fall back I walked out of there to prepare for the next audition

and the next audition and the next audition I prayed I prayed and I prayed,

but I continued to fail and fail and fail.

But it didn't matter because you know what?

There's an old saying, you hang around the barbershop long enough, sooner or later you're going to get a haircut.

So you will catch a break, and I did catch a break.

Last year, I did a play called Fences on Broadway way someone talked about it won the Tony award

and I didn't have to sing by the way

but here's the kicker it was at the court theater it was at the same theater

that I failed

that first audition 30 years prior the point is every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed

But do you have the guts to fail?

Here's my second point about failure.

If you don't fail, you're not even trying.

I'll say it again.

If you don't fail, you're not even trying.

My wife told me this great expression.

To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.

Les Brown's a motivational speaker he made an analogy about this says imagine you're on your deathbed

and standing around your deathbed are the ghosts representing your unfulfilled potential the ghost of the ideas

you never acted on the ghost of the talents you didn't use

and they're standing around your bed angry disappointed

and upset they say we came to you

because you could have brought us to life they say

and now we have to go to the grave together

so I ask you today how many ghosts are going to be around your bed

when your time comes you have s you you've invested a lot in your education

and people have invested in you

and let me tell you the world needs your talents

and does it ever I just got back from Africa like two days ago

so if I'm rambling on it's because I'm jet -lagged I just got back from South Africa it's a beautiful country,

but there are places there with terrible poverty that need help.

And Africa is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Middle East needs your help.

Japan needs your help.

100

Alabama needs your help.

101

Tennessee needs your help.

102

Louisiana needs your help.

103

Philadelphia needs your help.

104

The world needs a lot, and we need it from you.

105

We really do.

106

We need it from you, young people.

107

I mean, I'm not speaking for the rest of us up here, but I know I'm getting a little grayer.

108

we need it from you the young people

109

so you got to get out there you got to give it everything

110

you got whether it's your time your talent your prayers or your treasures because remember this

111

you will never see a u -haul behind a hearse you will never see a u -haul behind a hearse

112

you can't take it with you the Egyptians tried it and all they got was robbed

113

so the question is what are you going to do with what you have I'm not talking about how much

114

you have some of you are business majors some of you

115

are theologians nurses sociologists some of you have money some of

116

you have patience some of you have kindness some of you

117

have love some of you have the gift of long -suffering whatever

118

it is whatever your gift is what are you going to do

119

with what you have all right now here's my last point about failure

120

sometimes it's the best way to figure out where you're going

121

your life will never be a straight path

122

i began at fordham university as a pre -med student

123

I took a course called the cardiac morphogenesis I couldn't read

124

it I couldn't say it I sure couldn't pass it

125

so then I decided to go into pre -law then journalism

126

and with no academic focus my grades took off in their own direction.

127

Yeah, down.

128

I was a 1 .8 GPA one semester, and the university very politely suggested that it might be better to take some time off.

129

I was 20 years old.

130

I was at my lowest point, and then one day, and I remember the exact day,

131

March 27, 1975, I was helping my mother in her beauty shop.

132

My mother owned a beauty shop up in Mount Vernon,

133

and there There was this older woman who was considered one of the elders in the town

134

and I didn't know her personally but I was looking in the mirror

135

and every time I looked in the mirror I could see her behind me and she was staring at me.

136

She just kept looking at me.

137

Every time I looked at her she kept giving me these strange looks.

138

So she finally took the dryer off her head and said something.

139

She said something I'll never forget

140

First of all, she said somebody give me a piece of paper.

141

Give me a piece of paper

142

She said young boy.

143

I have a prophecy a spiritual prophecy

144

She said you are going to travel the world

145

and speak to millions of people now mind you I'm 20 years old I'm flunked out of school.

146

In fact like a wiseass.

147

I'm thinking to myself maybe she's got something in that crystal ball about me getting back into school next fall

148

but maybe she was on to something because later that summer

149

while working as a counselor at a ymca camp in connecticut we put on a talent show for the campers

150

and after the show another counselor came up to me

151

and asked have you ever thought about acting you're good at that

152

so when i got back to fordham

153

that fall i got in i changed my major once again for the last time

154

and in the years that follow just as

155

that woman prophesies I have traveled the world

156

and I have spoken to millions of people through my movies millions who up till

157

this day couldn't see me I who up till this day I couldn't see

158

while I was talking to them

159

and they couldn't see me they could only see the movie they couldn't see the real me

160

but I see you today and I'm encouraged by what I see.

161

And I'm strengthened by what I see.

162

And I love what I see.

163

Thank you.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 67 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 I'm, didn't, couldn't。请按听到的简短形式来说。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
