And so, I actually made a kind of curious decision. After the success of Titanic, I said, Okay, you know, I'm going to park my day job as a Hollywood movie maker, and I'm going to go be a full time explorer for a while. And so, you know, we started p
And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative and loving way in which you were steerling these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply i
But no, I never went to college. I've slept in some strange places, but the library wasn't one of them. I studied rock and roll and I grew up in Dublin in the 70s; music was an alarm bell for me. It woke me up to the world. I was 17 when I first saw
I think I guess it was at that point when your trustees decided to give me their highest honor. Doctor of Laws, wow! I know it's an honor, and it really is an honor, but are you sure? Doctor of Law, --you know, all I can think about is the laws I've
Thank you! My name is Bono and I am a rock star. Don't get me too excited because I use four letter words when I get excited. And I'm that guy. I'd just like to say to the parents, your children are safe, your country is safe, the FCC has taught me a
So, Dr. King said, Not everybody can be famous. But everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service. Yet, those of you who are history scholars may know the rest of that passage. He said, You don't have to have a college degree to
So, I know this--that whether you're an actor, you offer your talent in the way that most inspires aret. If you're an anatomist, you look at your gift as knowlege and service to healing. Whether you've been called, as so many of you here today gettin
The lesson here is clear, and that is, if you're hurting, you need to help somebody ease their hurt. If you're in pain, help somebody ease pain. And when you're in a mess, you get yourself out of the mess helping somebody out of theirs. And in the pr
Not a small topic this is, finding happiness. But in some ways I think it's the simplest of all. Gwendolyn Brooks wrote a poem for her children. It's called Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward. And she says at the end, Live not for bat
So, having done these expeditions, and you know, really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing amazing animals. They are basically aliens right here on Earth. They live in an environmen
And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot. I learned a lot about science. But I also learned a lot about leadership. Now you think director has got to be a leader, you know, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that
So, when I came back to make my next movie, which was Avatar, I tried to apply that same principle of leadership which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. And it really changed the dynamic. So, here I was again with a
Thank you, President Hennessy, and to the trustees and the faculty, to all of the parents and grandparents, to you, the Stanford graduates. Thank you for letting me share this amazing day with you. 感谢汉尼斯校长、董事会的各位董事、全
And so somebody comes up to Kirby, and they say, oh my god, is that Gayle King? And Kirby's like, Uh-huh. She's my mom. 有人走到卡比面前,对卡比说:我的天啊,那是盖尔金吗?卡比说:嗯,她是我妈妈。 And so the pers
I just love saying Stanford. Because of the truth is, I know I would have never gotten my degree at all, because I didn't go to Stanford. I went to Tennessee State University. But I never would have gotten diploma at all, because I was supposed to gr
So, in 1987, Tennessee State University invited me back to speak at their commencement. By then, I had my own show, was nationally syndicated. I'd made a movie, had been nominated for an Oscar and founded my company, Harpo. But I told them, I cannot
I think the great one of the greatest compliments I've ever received: I interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago. And then many years later, I saw the same reporter. And she said to me, You know what? You really haven't ch
And I was so proud, because I was finally going to have my chance to be like Barbara Walters, which is who I had been trying to emulate since the start of my TV career. So, I was 22 years old, making $22,000 a year. And it's where I met my best frien
And then they said they didn't like the way I looked. This was in 1976, when your boss could call you in and say, I don't like the way you looked. Now that would be called a lawsuit, but back then they could just say, I don't like the way you look. W
It's true. And how do you know when you're doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What I know is that feelings are really your GPS system for life. When you're supposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotiona
