开学一周孩子们昏昏欲睡？看看这些给大家打打气！

3月，基本上全国大多数学校都已经开学啦！

新学期也会面临新的挑战，如何帮助学生满血复活重回课堂呢？

今天，津津给老师们分享三篇美国名校的开学演讲，希望能够大家带来关于新学期的启发~~

2018年哈佛大学的开学演讲是由哈佛大学校长劳伦斯·巴考（Lawrence S. Bacow）致辞的，他告诉学生们要怎样看待世界，怎样对待身边人。

我劝大家永远不要以貌取人。在哈佛你不会遇到完美的人，包括你们的校长。我和其他人一样，经历过绝望和希望，失败和胜利，失去和爱。你在这里遇到的每个人都是独一无二的，每个人都有自己的故事。接受挑战，试着从一个不同于你自己的角度去理解这个世界。

My point is that you should never judge your insides by other peoples’ outsides. No one you will meet at Harvard is perfect, and that includes your president. I have experienced despair and hope, defeat and triumph, and loss and love just like anyone else. Embrace the challenging work of trying to understand the world from a perspective other than your own. 

弄清楚自己到底想要什么，而不是父母、同伴、学校或社会想要什么。确认你自己的价值观，思考迈向自己所定义的成功的道路，而不仅仅是接受别人给你的生活，不仅仅是接受别人给你的选择。

It means figuring out what you want for yourself, not what your parents want, or your peers want, or your school wants, or your society wants. Originating your own values. Thinking your way toward your own definition of success. Not simply accepting the life that you've been handed. Not simply accepting the choices you've been handed.

现在，你们得到的最重要的建议是，善待那些爱你的人，这是明智之举，特别是你的父母和你的家人。你们离家来到大学，对他们来说也是一次巨大的调整。感谢他们用各种方式支持你和，感谢他们做出的牺牲，这样你才有机会在这里学习。

And now the most important unsolicited advice you will receive from anyone today: It is also wise to be good to the people who love you, especially parents and your family. You going off to college is a huge adjustment for them too. Be grateful for the ways in which they have supported you and sacrificed so that you may have the opportunity of studying and learning here.

2010年美国斯坦福大学的开学演讲邀请到的演讲人是美国《国家》杂志撰稿人威廉·德莱塞维茨William Deresiewicz，下面我们来听听他对学生的箴言～

掌握技能当然没有错，竭尽所能成为最优秀的人也没有错。可是，专业化的问题在于它把你的注意力限制在一个点上，你所已知的和你想探知的东西都限制于此。你知道的一切就真的只是你的专业了。专业化的问题是，它让你成为专家，但切断你与世界上其他任何东西的联系，不仅如此，还切断你与自身其他潜能的联系。

Now there's nothing wrong with mastering skills, with wanting to do your best and to be the best.  The problem with specialization is that it narrows your attention to the point where all you know about and all you want to know about, and, indeed, all you can know about, is your specialty. The problem with specialization is that it makes you into a specialist. It cuts you off, not only from everything else in the world, but also from everything else in yourself. 

弄清楚自己到底想要什么，而不是父母、同伴、学校或社会想要什么。确认你自己的价值观，思考迈向自己所定义的成功的道路，而不仅仅是接受别人给你的生活，不仅仅是接受别人给你的选择。

It means figuring out what you want for yourself, not what your parents want, or your peers want, or your school wants, or your society wants. Originating your own values. Thinking your way toward your own definition of success. Not simply accepting the life that you've been handed. Not simply accepting the choices you've been handed.

最重要的是，不要过分谨慎。去抵制社会给予了高度重视的那些卑怯的价值观的诱惑：舒服、方便、安全、可预测性、可控制性。最重要的是，去抵抗失败的恐惧感。是的，你会犯错误。可那是属于你的错误，不是别人的。你将从错误中缓过来，而且，正是因为这些错误，你能更好地认识你自己。由此，你成为更完整和强大的人。这个世界比你想象的要广阔得多，这也意味着，你比你想象的要强大得多。

And most of all, don't play it safe. Resist the seductions of the cowardly values our society has come to prize so highly: comfort, convenience, security, predictability, control. Above all, resist the fear of failure. Yes, you will make mistakes. But they will be your mistakes, not someone else's. And you will survive them, and you will know yourself better for having made them, and you will be a fuller and a stronger person. The world is much larger than you can imagine right now. Which means, you are much larger than you can imagine. 

2019年耶鲁大学校长苏必德（Peter Salovey）在开学演讲中，鼓励学生做更开放更好奇的年轻人。

正是他们的好奇心，点燃了人们心中的火苗，并且引领世界往全新的方向前进。对自我的发掘与提升，同样来自于提问。举例来说，当我们质疑一件事并表示“为什么我要相信它？”，“为什么我要这么做？”的时候，我们其实已经学会了反思，并获得了成长。

Their curiosity lights up our world and points us in new directions. Self-discoveries come from asking questions, too. What do you learn when you ask yourself, “Why do I believe that?” or “Why did I do that?”

所以，我们的学生应当乐于转变自身的观念；勇于提问并且拥抱耶鲁的“好奇文化”；对不同的观点与经验持开放的态度，并将其视为一种学习的契机，即使有时会因此受到一些伤害。承认我们并未寻得所有的答案，并采取一个好学的、好奇的态度，这有助于我们去创造或发现全新的事物。

So, be willing to change your mind. Ask questions and embrace Yale’s culture of curiosity. Be open to different viewpoints and experiences, and see them as opportunities to learn—even if sometimes you get your hand bit. Knowing we didn’t have all the answers and taking an inquisitive, curious attitude allowed us the opportunity to create something new.

以上就是今天的开学演讲分享啦！
