第1篇

isquo;ve found that nothing in life is worthwhile unless you take risks.

there is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life thatsquo;s less than the one yousquo;re capable of living.

isquo;m sure in your experiences—in school… in applying to college… in picking your major… in deciding what you want to do with life—people have told you to make sure you have something to fall back on.

but isquo;ve never understood that concept, having something to fall back on.

if isquo;m going to fall, i donsquo;t want to fall back on anything, except my faith. i want to fall… forward.

i grew up in a very small country town in victoria. i had a very normal, low-key kind of upbringing. i went to school, i hung out with my friends, i fought with my younger sisters. it was all very normal. and when i was 15, a member of my local community approached my parents and wanted to nominate me for a community achievement award. and my parents said, "hm, that's really nice, but there's kind of one glaring problem with that. she hasn't actually achieved anything."and they were right, you know. i went to school, i got good marks, i had a very low-key after school job in my mum's hairdressing salon, and i spent a lot of time watching "buffy the vampire slayer" and "dawson's creek." yeah, i know. what a contradiction. but they were right, you know. i wasn't doing anything that was out of the ordinary at all. i wasn't doing anything that could be considered an achievement if you took disability out of the equation.

in a related german study, researchers used fmri imaging to measure brain activity before and after injecting botox to suppress smiling muscles. the finding supported darwins theory by showing that facial feedback modifies the neural processing of emotional content in the brain in a way that helps us feel better when we smile. smiling stimulates our brain reward mechanism in a way that even chocolate -- a well-regarded pleasure inducer -- cannot match.british researchers found that one smile can generate the same level of brain stimulation as up to 2,000 bars of chocolate. (laughter) wait. the same study found that smiling is as stimulating as receiving up to 16,000 pounds sterling in cash. thats like 25 grand a smile. its not bad. and think about it this way: 25,000 times 400 -- quite a few kids out there feel like mark zuckerberg every day.and, unlike lots of chocolate, lots of smiling can actually make you healthier. smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, increase the level of mood-enhancing hormones like endorphin and reduce overall blood pressure.

someone said we are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book, whose pages are infinite. i don?t know who wrote these words, but i?ve always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want it to be. we are all in the position of the farmers. if we plant a good seed ,we reap a good harvest. if we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.we are young. how to spend the youth? it is a meaningfulquestion. to answer it, first i have to ask what do you understand by the word youth? youth is not a time of life, it?s a state of mind. it?s not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips or supple knees. it?s the matter of the will. it?s the freshness of the deep spring of life.youth means a temperamental predominance of courage overtimidity of the appetite , for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20 . nobody grows old merely by a number of years . we grow old by deserting our ideals. years wrinkle the skin , but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul . worry , fear , self –distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust .whether 60 of 16 , there is in every human being ?s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what?s next and the joy of the game of living . in the center of your heart and my heart there?s a wireless station : so long as it receives messages of beauty , hope ,cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long as you are young .

as i said, my grandfather was a pastor for 50 plus years, leading the civil rights movement and marches, desegregating the public transit system and helping the first african-american policemen secure steady jobs. my father was a physician, one of only 100 black doctors in atlanta when he started his practice, and my mother was a civic leader who co-founded a coalition of neighborhoods across segregated communities.

following in the tradition of my elders, i pursued a role in public service as president of the city council and you heard that i served for six years. as the leader of the legislative branch of municipal government, i learned all the mechanics and the operations of the city. and when it was time for my next step, i threw my hat in the ring and ran for mayor.

i entered as the front runner with the highest name recognition. i raised a ton of money, i knocked on tens of thousands of doors. that said, there were issues along the way; my parents became ill – my father with the ravages of diabetes and two amputated legs and my mother diagnosed with the early onset of dementia – and i decided i needed to withdraw from the race to look after them.

but my father, he wasnsquo;t having it. he told me i need to step up! that i should return to the race and try to get elected and give back to the city that had given us so much. but by then, my campaignsquo;s momentum was gone. i lost the race and i was absolutely devastated. every question you can possibly image went through my head. had the people of atlanta forgotten me? had they forgotten all the work that i had done? did they lose faith in me? were they disappointing [disappointed]?

and life as a disabled person is actually somewhat difficult. we do overcome some things. but the things that we're overcoming are not the things that you think they are. they are not things to do with our bodies. i use the term "disabled people" quite deliberately, because i subscribe to what's called the social model of disability, which tells us that we are more disabled by the society that we live in than by our bodies and our diagnoses. so i have lived in this body a long time. i'm quite fond of it. it does the things that i need it to do, and i've learned to use it to the best of its capacity just as you have, and that's the thing about those kids in those pictures as well. they're not doing anything out of the ordinary. they are just using their bodies to the best of their capacity. so is it really fair to objectify them in the way that we do, to share those images? people, when they say, "you're an inspiration," they mean it as a compliment. and i know why it happens. it's because of the lie, it's because we've been sold this lie that disability makes you exceptional. and it honestly doesn't.

now i know this feels really good to you to be here today and feels even better to me. and let me tell you why. may i tell you why? because i got the mic. you know isquo;m going to do it anyway. itsquo;s not only your graduation day, itsquo;s sunday.

and sundays have always been special in my family. sundays are for speaking up – and for bringing people together. my grandfather, the late william holmes borders sr., was the pastor at wheat street baptist church in atlanta. martin luther king, jr. attended many of his sermons – the very same sermons i loved as a girl, and the same sermons that encouraged me to be the person that i am today.

and itsquo;s not just any sunday for me. itsquo;s been forty years since i graduated from duke. can you believe – do i look like itsquo;s been 40 years?

so because itsquo;s such a really special day, what i thought i would do is commemorate this day. will you indulge me with a selfie? come on now. will you indulge me? okay, here we go. you ready? let me start with section one over here. you ready, section 1? oh, wait. okay. love it! section 2. thank you! all right, let me get over here and get section 3. yousquo;re ready? letsquo;s do this. letsquo;s do this. and then section 4, last but certainly not least. perfect. perfect. thank you! thank you! thank you!

real change, the kind we have not seen in decades is only going to come from outside the system. and itsquo;s only going to come from a man whosquo;s spent his entire life doing whatothers said could not be done. my father is a fighter. when the primaries got tough and they were tough, he did what any great leader does. he dug deeper,worked harder, got better and became stronger.i have seen him fight for his family. i have seen him fight for his employees. i have seen him fight for his company. and now, i am seeing him fight for our country. itsquo;s been the story of his life and more recently the spirit of his campaign. itsquo;s also a prelude to reaching the goal that unites us all. when this party and better still this country knows what it is like to win again.if itsquo;s possible to be famous and yet not really well done, that describes the father who raised me. in the same office in trump tower, where we now work together, i remember playing on the floor by my fathersquo;s desk, constructing miniature buildings with legos and erector sets, while he did the same with concrete steel and glass.
