2000年流传在网上的所谓“Larry Ellison在耶鲁毕业典礼上的演讲”虽然有趣,但非真实。那年,Larry根本没在耶鲁。下面就是相关的说明。 http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blellison.htm Larry Ellison's Speech to Yale Class of 2000 An email text circulating since June 2000 purports to contain a commencement address given by Oracle's flamboyant CEO, Larry Ellison, to Yale's Class of 2000. Here's a snippet of that alleged speech: 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. What can you expect? Loser. Loserhood. Loser cum laude.... The speech goes on in that vein before closing abruptly with Ellison chiding the bodyguards who are supposedly dragging him off the stage. Is this true? It's truly funny, but it's not factual. Larry Ellison was not at Yale University's graduation ceremony in May 2000. There was no guest speaker there in fact. There was a keynote speaker, however, and that was journalist Bob Woodward, who graduated from Yale in 1965, and is now well known for his Watergate Scandal reporting for the Washington Post. And not even he said any of the things in the missive above. The material in question is simply a funny that made its first appearance on the SatireWire Website. A friend of a friend of somebody's friend, and possibly several such somebodies, then copied and pasted the text from the SatireWire web page into email, without providing proper attribution as to either the article's copyrighted source, or its author, Andrew Marlatt. But it's out there in suggestive email forwards for all the world to guffaw at and ask about, from now until kingdom come. These things just happen. – Peter Kohler
"耶鲁的毕业生们,我很抱歉---如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你---好好看一看周围,看一看站在你左边的同学,看一看站在你右边的同学。请你设想这样的情况:从现在起5年之后,10年之后,或30年之后,今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者;右边的这个人,同样,也是个失败者。而你,站在中间的家伙,你以为会怎样?一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。
