  英語演講稿1

  Dress me up in army fatigues. Throw me on top of a moving train. Ask me to play Malcolm X, Rubin Hurricane Carter, Alonzo from Training Day: I can do all that.

  But a commencement speech? It’s a very serious affair. Different ballgame. There’s literally thousands and thousands of people here.

  And for those who say—you’re a movie star, millions of people watch you speak all the time…

  … Yes, that’s technically true. But I’m not actually there in the theater—watching them watching me.

  I’m not there when they cough… or fidget… or pull out their iPhone and text their boyfriend… or scratch their behinds.

  From up here: I can see every single one of you. And that makes me uncomfortable.

  So please, don’t pull out your iPhone and text your boyfriend until after I’m done.

  But if you need to scratch your behinds, go right ahead. I’ll understand.

  Thinking about the speech, I figured the best way to keep your attention would be to talk about some really, juicy Hollywood stuff.

  I thought I could start with me and Russell Crowe getting into some arguments on the set of American Gangster…

  … but no. You’re a group of high-minded intellectuals. You’re not interested in that.

  Or how about that “private” moment I had with Angelina Jolie half naked in her dressing room backstage at the Oscars?… Who wants to hear about that?

  I don’t think so. This is an Ivy League school. Angelina Jolie in her dressing room…?

  No, this is Penn. That stuff wouldn’t go over well here. Maybe at Drexel—but not here. I’m in trouble now.

  I was back to square one—and feeling the pressure.

  So now you’re probably thinking—if it was gonna be this difficult, why’d I even accept today’s invitation in the first place?

  Well, you know my son goes here. That’s a good reason. And I always like to check to see how my money’s being spent.

  And I’m sure there’s some parents out there who can relate to what I’m talking about!

  And there were other good reasons for me to show up.

  Sure, I got an Academy Award… but I never had something called “Magic Meatballs” after waiting in line for half an hour at a food truck.

  True, I’ve talked face-to-face with President Obama… but I never met a guy named “Kweeder” who sings bad cover songs at Smokes on a Tuesday night.

  Yes, I’ve played a detective battling demons… but I’ve never been to a school in my life where the squirrel population has gone bananas, breaking into the dorm rooms and taking over campus. I think I’ve even seen some carrying books on the way to class!

  So I had to be here. I had to come… even though I was afraid I might make a fool of myself.

  In fact… if you really want to know the truth:

  I had to come… exactly because I might make a fool of myself.

  What am I talking about?

  Well, here it is:

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

  Nothing.

  Nelson Mandela said:

  “There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that’s less than the one you’re capable of living.”

  I’m sure in your experiences—in school… in applying to college… in picking your major… in deciding what you want to do with life—people have told you to make sure you have something to “fall back on.”

  But I’ve 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.

  At least I figure that way I’ll see what I’m about to hit.

  Fall forward.

  Here’s what I mean:

  Reggie Jackson struck out twenty-six-hundred 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 either—because #1,001 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 about why it’s so important.

  I’ve got three reasons—and then you can pick up your iPhones.

  First… you will fail at some point in your life. Accept it. You will lose. You will embarrass yourself. You will suck at something. There is no doubt about it.

  That’s probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony. But, hey, I’m telling you—embrace it.

  Because it’s inevitable.

  I should know: In the acting business, you fail all the time.

  Early in my career, I auditioned for a part in a Broadway musical. A perfect role for me, I thought—except for the fact that I can’t sing.

  So I’m in the wings, about to go on stage but the guy in front of me is singing like Pavarotti and I am just shrinking getting smaller and smaller...

  So I come out with my little sheet music and it was “Just My Imagination” by the Temptations, that’s what I came up with.

  So I hand it to the accompanist, and she looks at it and looks at me and looks at the director, so I start to sing and they’re not saying anything. I think I must be getting better, so I start getting into it.

  But after the first verse, the director cuts me off: “Thank you. Thank you very much, you’ll be hearing from me.”

  The next part of the audition is the acting part. I figure, I can’t sing, but I know I can act.

  But the guy I was paired with to do the scene couldn’t be more overdramatic and over-the top.

  Suffice to say, I didn’t get the part.

  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 one. I prayed and I prayed, but I continued to fail, and I failed, and I failed.

  But it didn’t matter. Because you know what? You hang around a barbershop long enough—sooner or later you will get a haircut.

  You will catch a break.

  Last year I did a play called Fences on Broadway and I won a Tony Award. And I didn’t have to sing for it, by the way.

  And here’s the kicker—it was at the Court Theater, the same theater where 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 guts to fail?

  Here’s my second point about failure:

  If you don’t fail… you’re not even trying.

  My wife told me this expression: “To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.”

  Les Brown, a motivational speaker, made an analogy about this.

  Imagine you’re on your deathbed—and standing around your bed are the ghosts representing your unfilled potential.

  The ghosts of the ideas you never acted on. The ghosts of the talents you didn’t use.

  And they’re standing around your bed. Angry. Disappointed. Upset.

  “We came to you because you could have brought us to life,” they say. “And now we 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 invested a lot in your education. And people invested in you.

  And let me tell you, the world needs your talents.

  Man, does it ever.

  I just got back from four months of filming in South Africa—beautiful country, but there are places with terrible poverty that need help.

  And Africa is just the tip of the iceberg.
