尊敬的校长，副校长，各位教职员工，全体毕业生们，女士们，先生们，你们好！环顾大厅四周，我看到一张张洋溢着幸福和自豪的脸庞，你们富有激情，对未来满怀希望，我为你们的大好前途感到惊叹不已。在宁静而美丽的首都堪培拉，你们在澳大利亚乃至世界上一流的大学接受了教育。在这儿，你们同世界上最出色的学生为伴，得到最博学的教师的谆谆教导。遨游在多种文化交织的海洋里，你们在学术上取得了卓越的成就。

暂且抛开全球金融危机不谈，毋庸置疑，从这所大学毕业将成为你们今后美好生活的起点。我希望，你们所有人都能拥有幸福而成功的人生，能实现自己的人生价值。因此，在你们庆祝自己所取得的成就时，让我们暂停下来反思一个问题：拥有同样甚至更加卓越的才智和资源，为什么一些人成功而另一些人却失败呢？

People like Paul Keating who left school at barely 15 years of age, yet went to become one of Australia's most visionary and far sighted prime ministers. As an executive coach, I am working with highly motivated, successful corporate 6 leaders. Yet often I find myself helping 7 them to work out what is missing in their lives and what to do about it.
在我的职业生涯中，我非常有幸曾和一些杰出的人一起工作，比如保罗·基廷。他不到15岁就离开了学校，然后后来却成为澳大利亚最具远见卓识的总理之一。作为一名高级主管指导员，我经常和富有活力且非常成功的公司领导人一起共事。然而，我发现自己经常帮他们寻找生活中迷失的东西，并帮助他们弥补。
