［演讲内容］
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
ood
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
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
No.
10
or
No.
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
mortar
boards
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
down
.
.

(At
this
point
The
Oracle
CEO
was
ushered
off
stage.)
耶鲁的毕业生们，我很抱歉——如果你们不喜欢这样的开场。我想请你们为我做一件事。请你---好好看一看周围，看一看站在你左边的同学，看一看站在你右边的同学。请你设想这样的情况：从现在起5年之后，10年之后，或30年之后，今天站在你左边的这个人会是一个失败者；右边的这个人，同样，也是个失败者。而你，站在中间的家伙，你以为会怎样？一样是失败者。失败的经历。失败的优等生。
说实话，今天我站在这里，并没有看到一千个毕业生的灿烂未来。我没有看到一千个行业的一千名卓越领导者，我只看到了一千个失败者。
你们感到沮丧，这是可以理解的。为什么，我，埃里森，一个退学生，竟然在美国最具声望的学府里这样厚颜地散布异端？我来告诉你原因。因为，我，埃里森，这个行星上第二富有的人，是个退学生，而你不是。
因为比尔·盖茨，这个行星上最富有的人——就目前而言---是个退学生，而你不是。
因为艾伦，这个行星上第三富有的人，也退了学，而你没有。再来一点证据吧，因为戴尔，这个行星上第九富有的人——他的排位还在不断上升，也是个退学生。而你，不是。
你们非常沮丧，这是可以理解的。
你们将来需要这些有用的工作习惯。你将来需要这种
治疗
。你需要它们，因为你没辍学，所以你永远不会成为世界上最富有的人。哦，当然，你可以，也许，以你的方式进步到第10位，第11位，就像Steve。但，我没有告诉你他在为谁工作，是吧？根据记载，他是研究生时辍的学，开化得稍晚了些。
现在，我猜想你们中间很多人，也许是绝大多数人，正在琢磨，
我能做什么？
我究竟有没有前途？
当然没有。太晚了，你们已经吸收了太多东西，以为自己懂得太多。你们再也不是19岁了。你们有了
内置
的帽子，哦，我指的可不是你们脑袋上的学位帽。
嗯你们已经非常沮丧啦。这是可以理解的。所以，现在可能是讨论实质的时候啦——
绝不是为了你们，2000年毕业生。你们已经被报销，不予考虑了。我想，你们就偷偷摸摸去干那年薪20万的可怜工作吧，在那里，工资单是由你两年前辍学的同班同学签字开出来的。事实上，我是寄希望于眼下还没有毕业的同学。我要对他们说，离开这里。收拾好你的东西，带着你的点子，别再回来。退学吧，开始行动。
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）
