商务英语教授的毕业感言
first, in order to be heard, it is important to deliver the same message more than once.
second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. ralph waldo emerson, who graduated from harvard at the age of 18, noted “all my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients.” picasso declared “good artists borrow. great artists steal.” why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard?
i also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had i the chutzpah to apply. i am married to “dean jean,” the former dean of admissions at stanford. she assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. when i showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word “rejected.” she never rejected applicants; her letters stated that “we are unable to offer an admission.” i have difficulty understanding the difference. after all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, “deans of rejection.” clearly, i have a lot to learn about marketing.
