Many foreign universities have a tradition of inviting famous people to the presentation of diplomas, who should admonish and inspire graduates. And very often famous people tell graduates about their failures - perhaps because it is failures that yesterday's students are most afraid of. JK Rowling, Steve Jobs and Steven Spielberg explain why you shouldn't be afraid.
For those who are preparing for the main school exam
JK Rowling, writer
This year, 51-year-old JK Rowling is in the top 25 most influential authors in Hollywood according to The Hollywood Reporter magazine. Twenty years ago, before Bloomsbury published the first Harry Potter book in 1997, she was an obscure single mother living on welfare and irregular earnings.
“Seven years after my graduation, by any measure, I suffered the most terrible failure. My marriage broke up, I was left alone with a child, without work and money. I'm not going to convince you that failure is great. That period of my life was the blackest streak, and I could not imagine that it would turn out to be a fairy tale with a happy ending, as they now write in the newspapers. But failure set me free - my main fear had already come true, while I was alive, I had a beloved daughter, an old typewriter and many ideas. If I had been successful in something else, I might never have worked up the courage to do what I truly love.
It's impossible to avoid failure unless you live so carefully that it's hard to call life at all. True, in this case you fail by definition.”
Steven Spielberg, film director
One of the most successful directors in history did not receive a higher education diploma until 2002, when he was already 55 years old. In his youth, he twice tried to enter the California film school, but he was not accepted, calling him "talentless". Then he entered a technical college, which he soon dropped out to take a "dream job" at Universal Studios. Five years later, the thriller "Jaws" was released, which made Spielberg famous.
“I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted, and so did some of you. Maybe you're sitting right now trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you really want to be a doctor, not a comedy writer. I told my parents that if the cinema didn't work out, I would go back to university. But everything turned out great.
For the first 25 years of our lives, we are taught to listen to the voices of others. Parents and teachers fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then bosses take their places to tell us how the world really works. And even when we think: “I look at the world in a completely different way,” it’s still easier to just agree and nod.
The films I made up until the 1980s were mostly far from reality. I was like in a bubble because I lacked education, my worldview was limited to what I could think of in my head, and not to life experience. And then I shot "Purple Flowers of the Fields." This story was filled with deep pain and deep truth, such as when Step Avery says, "Everything in the world wants to be loved." While making this film, I realized that cinema can be a mission. I hope that each of you will experience this feeling.”
Steve Jobs, entrepreneur
In 1976, 20-year-old Steve Jobs founded Apple in his parents' garage with Steve Wozniak. In 10 years, the company has grown into a $2 billion company with more than 6,000 employees. Among them was marketer John Scully, who led Apple at the invitation of Jobs. Over time, their views on the future diverged, the board of directors supported Scully, and Steve Jobs had to leave Apple.
“At 30, I was furiously fired from the company I founded. Everything I had dedicated my adult life to was gone, I felt empty. I didn't realize then that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have happened to me. The heavy burden of success was replaced by ease - I again became a beginner. With this feeling began one of the most creative periods in my life. Over the next five years, I founded NeXT and Pixar and fell in love with a beautiful woman who became my wife. I'm sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. The medicine tasted terrible, but the patient seemed to need it.
I am convinced that I did not give up and continued to move forward only because I loved my job. If you haven't found what you love yet, keep looking."
Jim Carrey, actor
Jim Carrey first appeared on stage with a comedy number at the age of 15 - his debut was a failure. The film Once Bitten (1985), in which the 23-year-old Kerry, after many unsuccessful castings, received his first major film role, was also coolly received by the public. And only at the age of 31, fame came to him after the low-budget film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, the script for which, like the image of Ventura, Jim came up with himself. For the film, Carrey was nominated for the "Golden Raspberry", an award for the worst acting work, but among the audience the film was a great success, and Ace Ventura became one of the most famous comedic characters. Carrey's next films - "The Mask", "Dumb and Dumber", "The Truman Show" - became classics of cinema.
“So many people choose the path of fear, calling it 'practicality'. My father wanted to be a comedian and he had every chance. But he did not believe that this was possible, and preferred to have a quiet "warm" place, becoming an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was fired, and our family had a hard time. On his example, I realized that you can fail in an unloved business - so why not try your luck at what you really want. It may seem impossible or ridiculous, and we don't even try to ask the Universe for it. I tell you, I'm living proof that you can ask for anything you want."
Oprah Winfrey, TV presenter
Oprah Winfrey was educated because of her talent: winning the eloquence competition gave her the opportunity to enter the university. In interviews, she repeatedly talked about her dysfunctional childhood and running away from home. Yet she became the first black female reporter in her city, and then the first black female billionaire in history. The Oprah Winfrey Show is rightfully called one of the greatest TV shows of all time.
“I have done over 35,000 interviews in my career. Every time the camera turned off, the guest of the program turned to me and asked: “Did everything go well?”. I heard it from President Bush and from President Obama. I heard it from heroes and housewives.
It doesn't matter how high you reach. At some point, you will definitely stumble, because the bar is constantly being raised. If you constantly strive higher and higher, then, as the myth of Icarus predicts, at some point you will begin to fall down. And when that happens, I want you to know and remember that failure doesn't exist. Failure is the way life tries to convince you to change direction.
I have often had to say these words to myself. When you fall to the very bottom, it is normal to feel bad for a while. Give yourself this time to mourn what you think you have lost. And then realize that you actually hold the key, because mistakes teach you and make you more of who you are."
Whoopi Goldberg, actress
Caryn Elaine Johnson, an ugly girl from a poor family, had to leave school because of dyslexia: she had problems with writing and reading. But dyslexia did not interfere with Helen Rubenstein's children's theater, and the unusual appearance and strange behavior, which made it difficult for Karin to communicate with peers, came just in place. In addition, the theater was free. There, Karin received her first acting lessons, and later took the pseudonym Whoopi Goldberg and became a great actress who was the laureate of the most prestigious American ones and was awarded a nominal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“I was lucky - I had a really unusual mother. She told me: “It's okay that you are strange. But are you ready for the fact that not everyone will be ready to accept you, not everyone will see and feel the same as you? Someone won't like you. Can you be yourself?"
When I was little, I dreamed of the world of cinema, television, fashion. I couldn't read because I was dyslexic and didn't start studying until I was 15, but I knew what I wanted. You have to be able to stand up for what you believe in. Don't just be afraid to be wrong or wrong. If you feel in your heart that you are moving in the wrong direction, you can stop at any moment and say: “You know what? I changed my mind"".
Ellen DeGeneres, comedian and TV presenter
Ellen DeGeneres' speech, which she gave at Tulane University in New Orleans in 2009, is not exactly ordinary. At the graduation ceremony, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton delivered the official speech, and Ellen decided to speak spontaneously to the students. New Orleans was the actress's hometown, and her graduation year consisted of students who began their studies just two days before the terrible hurricane Katrina, which in 2005 caused terrible destruction to the city.
“When I finished school, I was completely lost. I didn't have any ambitions and didn't know what I wanted. I did everything: peeled oysters, worked as a bartender, as a waitress, painted houses, sold vacuum cleaners. All I wanted was to just settle into some kind of job so I could earn enough money to pay the rent. I lived in an apartment in the basement, where I had neither heat nor air, only a mattress on the floor and fleas. I thought I knew who I was, but I had no idea.
One day I sat down and started writing, I had an imaginary conversation with God. I looked at him and said to myself: “Why have I never tried stand-up? I'm going to do it on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." He was king at the time and I was going to be the first woman in the history of the show to be on the air with him. And so it happened.
Follow your dreams, stay true to yourself. Never follow someone unless you are lost in the woods. And even if you are lost, but you see the path, you must follow it by all means. Don't take other people's advice. And my only advice is this: be true to yourself, and everything will be fine.
In contact with
David Foster Wallace, Ellen DeGeneres, Aaron Sorkin, Barack Obama and Conan O'Bryan share tips on how to succeed. Plus a very inspiring speech from Ray Bradberry.
There is a wonderful tradition in the West that every year college graduates are honored and on their graduation day heed the words of successful people who give very inspiring speeches about choosing a profession and achieving success.
You must have seen Steve Jobs' speech at one of these graduations, parsed into quotes. JK Rowling, Meryl Streep, Jeff Bezos and many, many others have made the same speeches.
I have prepared a selection with 5 similar speeches in which David Foster Wallace, Ellen DeGeneres, Aaron Sorkin, Barack Obama and Conan O'Brian try to convey a lively and vibrant thought to young people.
David Foster Wallace addressed his speech to the 2005 graduates of Kenyon College. That speech showed his exceptional, powerful and lively mind, lifting the curtain on the life of David Foster Wallace, the story of his successes and tragedies. After David committed suicide in 2008, many of his words took a completely different turn.
“It is very difficult to concentrate and not succumb to the internal monologue that constantly sounds in the head. Twenty years after my own graduation, I finally realized that the liberal arts cliché about learning to think is actually deeper and more serious than I thought: learning to think means exercising control over how and what you talk about. think. That is, learning to be sane and knowledgeable enough to consciously choose what is worth paying attention to and how to make sense of experience. Because if you can't learn to make those choices as an adult, then life will seriously screw you up. Remember that hackneyed expression that says: “The mind is the best servant and the worst master.”
The entire speech can be read in Russian and English.
In 2009, renowned TV presenter Ellen DeGeneres gave a speech at Tulane University in New Orleans to students who started their studies just 2 days before the devastating Hurricane Katrina. They were imbued with an emotional performance full of wit and sincerity.
“As you get older, you will realize that the definition of success changes with age. For most of you today, success is knocking over 20 servings of tequila. For me, the more important thing is to be able to live your life honestly and not be under pressure all the time, not trying to do what you don't want to do. Live as an honest and compassionate person, contribute to some cause. In conclusion, I would like to say: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow the path beaten by someone, unless you are in a dense forest, you are lost, and this path is your only salvation.
A video recording of Ellen's speech with Russian subtitles can be viewed at link.
Aaron Sorkin made a speech to the graduates of Syracuse University as recently as May 13, 2012. He addressed former students with equal measure of wisdom, wit, and disarming sincerity. He drew attention to very important problems, which over the years have somewhat underestimated their scope, but still remain very significant.
“Create your own compass and trust it. Take risks, do not be afraid to make a mistake, remember, the one who first cuts a hole in the wall always fills bumps.
“I just want to say that we are reducing our expectations from each other more and more, and this should change. Your friends, your family, this school expects you to do more than professional success in your major.”
Philosopher Daniel Dennett once offered his key to the secret of happiness: "Find something for yourself more important than yourself and devote your life to it." In his message to the 2008 graduates of the University, Weslane played on this idea rather gracefully: “The salvation of each of us individually depends on the salvation of the whole. If your thoughts are directed only at yourself and you encourage your momentary desires and needs, then in this way you betray much more needy people.
“In times of doubt and reflection, I hope you will not forget that there is nothing naive in an impulsive desire to change the world. The world is changed by isolated cases.
“To change something, you don’t have to do something crazy, like run for president. Some of you have already signed up for volunteer programs at nearby schools and universities, and some of you have signed up for a fresh food delivery fund for families in need.”
“Change will not come easily. It will be necessary to sacrifice something, face difficult choices and face the unpleasant truth with an open visor.
In 2011, Dartmouth College met the famous TV presenter Conan O'Brien during graduation. Many considered his speech one of the most powerful and inspiring. You can read the text of the entire speech in English. Or watch the video below.
“For years in show business, every comedian's highest goal has been to get his own The Late Night Show. This is the Holy Grail that I thought would define me as a successful person. But this is not true. Personality is not determined by achievements in a career, you must understand this too. In 2000, I told graduates not to be afraid to make mistakes, and I still think so. But today I would like to add, whether you are afraid or not, one day you will still be disappointed. Disappointment will be followed by clarity, and with clarity will come conviction and true uniqueness. And that's great."
After a long winter, the first spring rays of the sun are especially pleasing, playing on the roofs of houses and transparent window panes. The clear skies are filled with sonorous bird voices, and the first leaves bloom on the trees, filling the air with the unique aroma of fresh greenery.

Beautiful speech on the last call from graduates in prose - to parents and teachers
The last bell is a touching and somewhat sad holiday, which is remembered for a long time by graduates, their parents and teachers.

In turn, the graduates are preparing beautiful solemn speeches for the Last Bell to their beloved teachers, who have become truly family and close people over the years.

Today we are graduates, all doors and all paths are open to us. And we have to make a difficult choice in favor of a particular profession. But no matter how our future life develops, we will never forget our native school and our beloved teachers. After all, everything that we will achieve in life will be only thanks to you and the knowledge that you have given us. Today the last bell will ring for us, and its ringing will remain in our hearts forever, just like you and your lessons. Even though our relationship was not always smooth, even if we sometimes misunderstood each other. But we always found a compromise and a way out of difficult situations. We have learned a lot from you and understood a lot about life thanks to you. Thank you for this, because school is the first serious life test.
Dear our teachers! We, the graduates, want to thank you for your hard work. To thank you for giving us knowledge, and with it a "ticket" to adulthood. Today we will become "free" people, because we will become more mature. But this will give us responsibilities, because we have to become more responsible and independent. Now we have no one to rely on, nowhere to wait for clues. Now we are solely responsible for the correctness of the decision. But we believe that we will be able to endure all this and pass the test of life perfectly well. And all because we had the best teachers in the world, our favorite teachers!
Our beloved parents! Dear mothers and fathers, irreplaceable grandparents, dear aunts and uncles! Today is a responsible day for us to say goodbye to school and enter a new life stage. We are grateful to you not only for being there at such an important moment, but also for guiding us through life all these years. We know that sometimes it was not easy for you, but you steadfastly and courageously overcame all obstacles, hiding your children behind a reliable back.
Parting speech of the class teacher at the last call in grades 9 and 11 - in verse and prose
Many adults often remember their class teacher with warmth. And it is not surprising, because it is this person who occupies a special place in the life of every student - sometimes on a par with moms and dads. Releasing their pupils from the walls of their native school, each class teacher feels a sense of pride and concern for their future fate. According to tradition, in the parting speech at the Last Bell from the “cool mom”, students in grades 9 and 11 receive a lot of good wishes - achieving their goals, success in their careers and happiness in their personal lives.

I am finishing 11th grade for the second time in my life. I remember how I stood and listened to the parting words of my class teacher, and did not even suspect that many years would pass, and I would finish grade 11 again, only not as a graduate, but as a class teacher. My role has changed, but my feelings - not a bit! I have a feeling that there is no you and me ... there is WE! There is one big soul. I so want you to keep the warmest memories of the school!
Do not be afraid of obstacles and difficult tasks,
Live for success and bright luck!
Learn, comprehend, get carried away, dare
And everything that is useful for life, know!
Let the sail of love not wander in the darkness,
Look for your soul mate on earth!
Dream, be surprised and delight your friends,
Stay light and happy for loved ones!
Always remember that you are unique, talented, funny, kind, worthy people! Be confident! Achieve the goals you set for yourself!

And work brought you joy.

The Last Bell holiday is painted for graduates, on the one hand, with joy - they are finishing school and there is a new life ahead, full of all kinds of surprises and discoveries, and on the other hand, with sadness: after all, from this day the last days begin their report, in which graduates live their usual lives, communicate with his school friends and teachers who have already become family.
In this article, we offer some preparations and recommendations for holding this celebration. We understand that different schools have different opportunities, so it’s rather difficult to come up with one universal holiday scheme. But we tried to embrace the immensity and hope that our recommendations will help make your holiday an unusual, memorable and bright event.
The holiday begins with a solemn line, at which the headmaster, class teachers and some teachers congratulate the graduates.
Dear Guys! Today is a very solemn day in your life, because all roads open before you. From this day on, you are considered adults, and this is a very responsible thing.

Dear teachers! You are strict and affectionate, wise and sensitive, led our graduates through the years of childhood and adolescence, invested in each of them knowledge, a particle of your heart, gave them your human warmth, your love. That is why they are all so kind, sympathetic and open. Thank you so much for our guys. And low bow to you.
After that, the word is given to the students. Not only graduates, but also primary school students can perform. Each speech can be ended with a small poem - congratulations.
Congratulations, graduates - it doesn’t have to be solemn at all, comic wishes and congratulations will bring some touch of fun and defuse the tension and excitement that is obligatory on this holiday. The so-called altered songs are very fun in schools. Here are some examples of this kind of congratulations:
Congratulations to primary school students
(on the motif of a ditty)
We came to you today
Prick up your ears
Clap your hands louder
We will sing ditties.
You are now graduates
And we are first graders
Let's turn back the days
Let's talk about your life.
In the first class - beauty,
Just great!
Just learn to write - This is a must!
Well, in the second class
Sheer torment!
Remember everything like a bad dream
Multiplication table.
Backpacks are heavy
More textbooks
In the third grade, all the guys
Learn diligently.
In the fifth grade - that's the trouble,
Problems started:
Everyone sits and waits
There will come a change.
A year has passed, and the sixth grade
Worn around school
All teachers suffer
From such grief.
Grade seven and physics:
They introduced a new science.
According to the laws of acceleration
The class runs to the cafeteria.
Eighth class. Not before learning -
Everyone is falling in love!
Nothing, no matter how you learn
Not remembered.
In the ninth grade they grew wiser,
A whole year of teaching
How did the exams go?
Everyone immediately forgot.
In the tenth grade - what a misfortune!
Everyone is changing their image.
You can faint
How do you see the students?
The last class is graduation,
Parting soon.
We wish you not to forget
Your own school!
Congratulations from the tenth graders
(sing to the motive of the song "Song of a good mood")
In a year, we will stand in your place,
Let's worry just like now.
We sincerely wish you good luck
And please listen to our advice.
And a smile, no doubt
Suddenly touches your eyes
And good mood
Will not leave you anymore!
If you get a lousy ticket,
Even if you are not ready at all
Anyway, with a smile, you take a ticket,
Anyway, you will go home with a mark.
If someone is immediately caught with a spur,
For an act, this "deuce" threatens you.
Remember how many good teachers
And hope for indulgence at this moment.
school principal
(to the motive of any march:)
Aty-baty, we have come
Everything is like a parade
And, of course, our director
We are terribly happy.
Dear Ivan Ivanovich!
We must admit
What to students and school
You are very needed.
He is always in business, worries
In the morning...
To our director
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Russian language and literature teacher
(to the motive of the song "Electric Train" by A. Alina)
To improve your culture
Back to literature
Pushkin, Tolstoy or Dostoevsky... Alas,
You gave us lessons back
And we did not read, we did not read,
What should we do, because we must answer?
How can we write an essay now?
Hands tremble more and more with excitement,
It's just terrible, what a torment,
Perhaps, all of a sudden, it will be possible to write off?
How can I remember what I forgot and do not know
Maybe I'll get lucky and guess the plot
What kind of literature is this!
No luck ... So, deuce again!
Math teacher
(to the motive of the song "Oh, viburnum blooms")
Here I am standing again in the classroom at the blackboard,
In grief and sadness, I cry from longing.
How am I going to solve the equation, oh!
How can I find this cunning X?
I understand: you need to learn the formulas,
Only reluctance. How should I be now?
Where can I get stronger teeth for a boy,
Where can I get stronger teeth for a boy,.
To gnaw science - mathematics.
physical education teacher
(to the motive of the song "Over the Four Seas" by the group "Brilliant", the girls sing)
Remember, you promised the "five",
I just don't have the strength to run.
We will not forget forever we are a gym
And the words that you told us:
Gotta run fast
You have to jump higher
And then we can win the competition
Dexterity and skill
Will and patience...
And now everywhere we repeat like a spell:
Gotta run fast
You have to jump higher
Do not moan, do not whimper, and then victory awaits us!
Forever remember
We are your lessons
Dear teacher, we wish you a lot of happiness!
History teacher
(to the motive of the song "What were you ..." From the movie "Kuban Cossacks")
Everybody knows how hard you tried
History to teach us
And we tried to learn history,
But they tried to forget everything.
And you do not take offense at us,
The lessons were not in vain!
Always beautiful, stay kind!
We wish you with all our hearts!
Chemistry teacher
(to the motive of the song "If you don't have an aunt" from the film "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath")
If you have an apartment
That may not be her
If you mix the reagents
And blow everything up, and blow everything up,
And blow everything up.
If you don't have soap
Then it can be boiled
And to know the components,
Chemistry is necessary, chemistry is necessary,
Chemistry must be taught.
The orchestra rumbles
Chemistry means to be.
Think for yourself, decide for yourself
To teach or not to teach
To teach or not to teach!
Physics teacher
(to the tune of Alsou's song "Sometimes")
Where has it been seen, who invented it,
That you definitely need to learn physics,
To know at least a little the laws of life.
What is saved? How is it accelerating?
For some reason I don't remember
I'm completely frozen to absolute zero.
Sometimes I wait for her
Sometimes I love her
And then it seems to me
What control can solve.
Sometimes I suffer
Sometimes I get confused
You know, with this physics
It's not easy to live at all.
Geography teacher
(to the motive of "The Song of the Little Red Riding Hood")
If long, long, long
Explore the seas and mountains
Rivers, countries, continents
And capitals of states
That's probably right, right
It's possible, it's possible, it's possible
That, of course, that of course
You can become the smartest!
Ah, we sing a song about geography,
Ah, we learn it both at night and during the day.
Ah, we say "thank you" to you,
Ah, our dear teacher,
Ah, our dear teacher!
foreign language teacher
(to the motive of the song by V. Mar-sin “I see a shadow obliquely”)
If our life is like a film strip
Scroll back ten years
Let's remember how we learned English
Every day ten times in a row.
Every student is accustomed
Express yourself in English.
Foreign difficult language
Became almost family and friends.
We have given only some examples of playful congratulations of teachers by graduates. Beautiful congratulations for the teacher can always be changed or supplemented. But in any case, it is necessary to end the holiday on a solemn note. Perhaps it will be the school's anthem or, if the school doesn't have one, it may be an appropriate song. It is best to perform it all together - students and teachers. And, of course, it's up to you to decide when the last bell will ring before or after the song. The solemnity of the moment will help to give balloons, which the graduates will release into the sky at the end. Such a finale of the holiday is very beautiful.
We wish you an unforgettable celebration.
