??我要告诉你，一顶帽子一套学位服必然要让你沦落......就像这些保安马上要把我从这个讲台上撵走一样必然......（此时，Larry被带离了讲台） 作者: 我爱复习 时间: 2003-3-21 18:25 标题: [转帖]甲骨文CEO的狂妄演讲 读大学真的没用 简直是谬论作者: alanick 时间: 2003-3-21 19:32 标题: [转帖]甲骨文CEO的狂妄演讲 读大学真的没用 论据是对的，但是推断过程是有问题的。
读书是为了什么？不就是为了找份好工作，在社会上找到自己的位置？他提到的几个人为什么辍学？因为他们已经找到了自己的努力方向，继续读下去可能对他的目标不会产生任何影响，只会是浪费时间，所以他们选择了退学。如果我们因此就推论退学就能赚大钱就大错特错了，他自己不也在说“收拾好你的东西，带着你的点子，别再回来。退学吧，开始行动。”吗？没有你的点子，你还是好好读书吧。作者: 小马过河 时间: 2003-3-22 00:26 标题: [转帖]甲骨文CEO的狂妄演讲 读大学真的没用 很有意思：D 作者: 小马过河 时间: 2003-3-22 00:33 标题: [转帖]甲骨文CEO的狂妄演讲 读大学真的没用 Thought you would get a kick out of this speech that Larry Ellison Oracle
CEO) gave at Yale University to the graduating class of 2000:
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 30 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 a 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,
No. 9 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 19 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 would 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 checks 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 dow... 作者: 萧萧絮絮 时间: 2003-3-22 04:41 标题: [转帖]甲骨文CEO的狂妄演讲 读大学真的没用 ？
