按：这是该网友前日转发的。我读了，加了评语。

  校长发言中一段：I observed that success  comes from happiness, and that the only wrong way to achieve it is by harming others. 按：这句成功和幸福的话，真是莫名其妙。开心，幸福就能成功？简直是瞎扯。这是句毫无疑义的话。

    还有另一段，UVA 校长Teresa Sullivan addressed to the all : Compare the students' beginning journey to that of Lewis and Clark. (美国西域开创先锋)In each case, she said, " preparation has been key. "按：这就是机会给有准备的人的意思，没错，但有何新意？？？

    She urged students to seek out opportunities in the coming years and take part in " lateral learning, " exploring many disciples,按：这句话是问题，这是个讲专业的时代，JACK OF ALL TRADES， 是社会所需吗？ and further advised students to " get to know people different from you, "按：这句话有一定道理， 是三人行必有我师的意思。  She recalled Ralph Waldo Emerson 's ( 美国最著名的诗人及教育家之一）observation that " the force of character is cumulative.＂按：这句话意思含混，表达不清。

        这些话语我个人认为值得华人家长们思考。

按：以上所谓“值得思考”的校长典礼发言，大都流于空话套话，或者虽不无道理，却也了无新意。把这些话拿出来让华人家长思考，反映转发者的素质。
