不好意思
我还没看玩这个文章
但是应该是很不错的
不然楼主是不会发上去的
我觉得
对于我们来说读大学
主要就是环境的优势
利用好了就能够达到非常棒的效果的
利用不好就会一塌糊涂
同志们努力吧!

这样的发言才真实,传统的教育方式都把我们封在固定的条条框框里了

再加上英文版的，供大家研究：
Graduates of Yale University, I apologize if you have endured
this type of prologue before, but I want you to do something for
me Please, take a good look around you Look at the classmate on
your left Look at the classmate on your right

Now, consider this: five years from now, 10 years from now, even
thirty
years from now, odds are the person on your left is going to be a
loser The person on your right, meanwhile, will also be a loser
And you, in the middle? What can you expect? Loser Loserhood
Loser Cum Laude In fact, as I look out before me today, I don't
see a thousand hopes for a bright tomorrow I don't see a
thousand future leaders in a thousand industries I see a
thousand losers You're upset That's understandable After all,
how can I,Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, college dropout, have the
audacity to spout such heresy to the graduating class of one of
the nation's most prestigious institutions?

I'll tell you why Because I, Lawrence "Larry" Ellison, second
richest man on the planet, am college dropout, and you are not
Because Bill Gates, richest man on the planet-for now anyway-is a
college dropout, and you are not Because Paul Allen, the third
richest man on the planet, dropped out of college, and you did
not And for good
measure, because Michael Dell, No9 on the list and moving up
fast, is a college dropout, and you, yet again, are not

Hmm you're very upset That's understandable So let me stroke
your
Egos for a moment by pointing out, quite sincerely, that your
diplomas were not attained in vain Most of you, I imagine, have
spent four to five years here, and in many ways what you've
learned and endured will serve you well in the years ahead
You've established
good work habits You've established a network of people that
will help you down the road And you've established what will be
lifelong
relationships with the word "therapy" All that of is good

For in truth, you will need that network You will need those
strong work habits You will need that therapy You will need them
because you didn't drop out, and so you will never be among the
richest people in the world Oh sure, you may, perhaps, work your
way up to #10 or #11, like Steve Ballmer But then, I don't have
to tell you who
he really works for, do I? And for the record, he dropped out of
grad
school Bit of a late bloomer

Finally, I realize that many of you, and hopefully by now most of
you, Are wondering, "Is there anything I can do? Is there any hope
for me at all? Actually, no It's too late You've absorbed too
much, think you know too much You're not 9 anymore You have a
built-in cap,and I'm not referring to the mortarboards on your
heads

Hmm you're really very upset That's understandable So
perhaps this
Could be a good time to bring up the silver lining Not for you,
Class of '00 You are a write-off, so I'll let you slink off to
your pathetic
$200,000-a-year jobs, where your cheques will be signed by
former
classmates who dropped out two years ago Instead, I want to give
hope to any underclassmen here today I say to you, and I can't
stress this
enough: leave Pack your things and your ideas and don't come
back Drop out Start up For I can tell you that a cap and gown
will keep you down just as surely as these security guards
dragging me off this stage are keeping me down"

(At this point The Oracle CEO was ushered off stage)
