第一篇："Who Then Will Speak for the Common Good?"
barbara jordan: "Who Then Will Speak for the Common Good?"
thank you ladies and gentlemen for a very warm reception.
it was one hundred and forty-four years ago that members of the democratic party first met in convention to select a presidential candidate. since that time, democratshave continued to convene once every four years and draft a party platform and nominate a presidential candidate. and our meeting this week is a continuation of that tradition. but there is something different about tonight. there is something special about tonight. what is different? what is special?
i, barbara jordan, am a keynote Speaker.
a lot of years passed since 1832, and during that time it would have been most unusual for any national political party to ask that a barbara jordan to deliver a keynote address. but tonight here i am. and i feel that notwithstanding the past that my presence here is one additional bit of evidence that the american dream need not forever be deferred.
now that i have this grand distinction what in the world am i supposed to say? i could easily spend this time praising the accomplishments of this party and attacking the republicans -- but i don't choose to do that. i could list the many problems which americans have. i could list the problems which cause people to feel cynical, angry, frustrated: problems which include lack of integrity in government; the feeling that the individual no longer counts; the reality of material and spiritual poverty; the feeling that the grand american experiment is failing or has failed. i could recite these problems, and Then i could sit down and offer no solutions. but i don't choose to do that either. the citizens of <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
we are a people in a quandary about the present. we are a people in search of our future. we are a people in search of a national community. we are a people trying not only to solve the problems of the present, unemployment, inflation, but we are attempting on a larger scale to fulfill the promise of
throughout out history, when people have looked for new ways to solve their problems, and to uphold the principles of this nation, many times they have turned to political parties. they have often turned to the democratic party. what is it? what is it about the democratic party that makes it the instrument the people use when they search for ways to shape their future? well i believe the answer to that question lies in our concept of governing. our concept of governing is derived from our view of people. it is a concept deeply rooted in a set of beliefs firmly etched in the national conscience of all of us.
now what are these beliefs? first, we believe in equality for all and privileges for none. this is a belief that each american regardless of background has equal standing in the public forum -- all of us. because we believe this idea so firmly, we are an inclusive rather than an exclusive party. let everybody come! i think it no accident that most o(本文來源本站：)f those emigrating to
we believe that the people are the source of all governmental power; that the authority of the people is to be extended, not restricted.
this can be accomplished only by providing each citizen with every opportunity to participate in the management of the government. they must have that, we believe. we believe that the government which represents the authority of all the people, not just one interest group, but all the people, has an obligation to actively -- underscore actively -- seek to remove those obstacles which would block individual achievement -- obstacles emanating from race, sex, economic condition. the government must remove them, seek to remove them.
we are a party of innovation. we do not reject our traditions, but we are Willing to adapt to changing circumstances, when change we must. we are Willing to suffer the discomfort of change in order to achieve a better future. we have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of america can one day be finally closed.
we believe that.
this, my friends, is the bedrock of our concept of governing. this is a part of the reason why americans have turned to the democratic party. these are the foundations upon which a national community can be built. let's all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. they represent what this country is all about. they are indigenous to the american idea. and these are principles which are not negotiable.
in other times, i could stand here and give this kind of exposition on the beliefs of the democratic party and that would be enough. but today that is not enough. people want more. that is not sufficient reason for the majority of the people of this country to vote democratic. we have made mistakes. we realize that. in our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. and when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. but our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.
<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" />
even as i stand here and admit that we have made mistakes, i still believe that as the people of america sit in judgment on each party, they Will recognize that our mistakes were mistakes of the heart. they'll recognize that.
and now we must look to the future. let us heed the voice of the people and recognize their Common sense. if we do not, we not only blaspheme our political heritage, we ignore the Common ties that bind all americans. many fear the future. many are distrustful of their leaders, and believe that their voices are never heard. many seek only to satisfy their private work wants. to satisfy their private interests. but this is the great danger america faces. that we Will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. each seeking to satisfy private wants. if that happens, Who Then Will Speak for america? Who Then Will Speak for the Common Good?
this is the question which must be answered in 1976.
are we to be one people bound together by Common spirit, sharing in a Common endeavor; or Will we become a divided nation? for all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future. we must not become the new puritans and reject our society. we must address and master the future together. it can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a Common national endeavor. it can be done.
there is no executive order; there is no law that can require the american people to form a national community. this we must do as individuals, and if we do it as individuals, there is no president of the united states Who can veto that decision.
as a first step, we must restore our belief in ourselves. we are a generous people so why can't we be generous with each other? we need to take to heart the words spoken by thomas jefferson:
"let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life are but dreary things."
a nation is formed by the Willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the Common Good. a government is invigorated when each of us is Willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation. in this election year we must define the Common Good and begin again to shape a Common future. let each person do his or her part. if one citizen is unWilling to participate, all of us are going to suffer. for the american idea, though it is shared by all of us, is realized in each one of us.
and now, what are those of us Who are elected public officials supposed to do? we call ourselves public servants but i'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. it is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the Common Good if we are derelict in upholding the Common Good. more is required of public officials than slogans and handshakes and press releases. more is required. we must hold ourselves strictly accountable. we must provide the people with a vision of the future.
if we promise as public officials, we must deliver. if we as public officials propose, we must produce. if we say to the american people it is time for you to be sacrificial; sacrifice. if the public official says that, we [public officials] must be the first to give. we must be. and again, if we make mistakes, we must be Willing to admit them. we have to do that. what we have to do is strike a balance between the idea that government should do everything and that idea, the belief, that government ought to do nothing. strike a balance. let there be no illusions about the difficulty of forming this kind of a national community. it's tough, difficult, not easy. but a spirit of harmony Will survive in america only if each of us remembers that we share a Common destiny. if each of us remembers when self-interest and bitterness seem to prevail that we share a Common destiny.
i have confidence that we can form this kind of national community.
i have confidence that the democratic party can lead the way.
i have that confidence.
we cannot improve on the system of government handed down to us by the founders of the republic. there is no way to improve upon that. but what we can do is to find new ways to implement that system and realize our destiny.
now, i began this speech by commenting to you on the uniqueness of a barbara jordan making a keynote address. well i am going to close my speech by quoting a republican president and i ask you that as you listen to these words of abraham lincoln, relate them to the concept of a national community in which every last one of us participates:
"as i would not be a slave, so i would not be a master. this expresses my idea of democracy. whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."
thank you.

第四篇：Who are you working for？
Who are you working for?
一本所有公務員、公司職員的必讀書能夠從日復一日的工作中發現機遇是非常重要的，儘管機遇所帶來的近期回報可能很少，甚至微不足道，但是，我們不能把眼光侷限在自己得到了什麼，而應當看到“我們能夠得到這個機遇”本身的價值。——戴爾公司總裁邁克爾·戴爾
在公司裏，員工與員工之間在競爭智慧和能力的同時，也在競爭態度。一個人的態度直接決定了他的行為，決定了他對待工作是盡心盡力還是敷衍了事，是安於現狀還是積極進取。——ntl公司總裁羅伯特·威爾茲
在工作中，每個人都應該發揮自己最大的潛能，努力地工作而不是浪費時間尋找藉口。要知道，公司安排你這個職位，是為了解決問題，而不是聽你關於困難的長篇累牘的分析。——ge公司前ceo傑克·韋爾奇
如果只把工作當作一件差事，或者只將目光停留在工作本身，那麼即使是從事你最喜歡的工作，你依然無法持久地保持對工作的激情。但如果把工作當作一項事業來看待，情況就會完全不同。——微軟公司董事長比爾·蓋茨
工作是一個施展自己才能的舞台。我們寒窗苦讀來的知識，我們的應變力，我們的決斷力，我們的適應力以及我們的協調能力都將在這樣的一個舞台上得到展示。除了工作，沒有哪項活動能提供如此高度的充實自我、表達自我的機會、以及如此強的個人使
命感和一種活着的理由。工作的質量往往決定生活的質量。——約翰·洛克菲勒
在工作中，不管做任何事，都應將心態迴歸到零：把自己放空，抱着學習的態度，將每一次任務都視為一個新的開始，一段新的體驗，一扇通往成功的機會之門。千萬不要視工作如雞肋，食之無味，棄之可惜，結果做得心不甘情不願，於公於私都沒有裨益。

成長於波士頓南區貧民窟的孤兒威爾〃杭汀 (Will hunting)，註定要經歷不堪的童年。他是位絕頂聰明卻叛逆不羈的年輕人。平日除了在麻省理工學院擔任大樓的清潔工作之外，便是與三五好友在酒吧喝酒、泡妞、整整哈佛的聰明小孩；一人獨處之時，就就廣泛涉獵各式人文與科學的新知。某天隨意解答麻省理工學院數學系蘭博教授所留下高級傅里葉公算式，隨即引起學校師生們的驚異；在與他人打架滋事，並宣判送進少年觀護所之後，蘭博教授便費心地將他保釋出來，要求他參與數學研討與接受心理輔導。蘭博教授期望威爾能重視併發揮自己的天賦異稟，不再踐踏天賦，惡作劇、耍蠢、吹擂而耗費生命；不過，威爾卻毫無不在意，經常嘲弄前來為他輔導治療的心理專家。蘭博教授一直固守
着自己的菲爾德獎章不放（數學方面的諾貝爾獎），錯誤地認為那就是成功。因為這個緣故他和周圍的朋友一直認為大學同學肖恩是個失敗者，出於對名利的追逐，他最終還是找到了肖恩。肖恩與Will談論各自對藝術，人生，愛情的看法，瞭解到Will只不過是個“什麼都不知道”的孩子，相似的經歷讓他對Will產生惻隱之心，他想幫助Will人生的航向，而不是像蘭博錯誤地認為獲獎便是成功，把自己的價值觀凌駕與其他人之上。他和Will談論人生，soul mate（心靈之友），以及自己逝去的妻子，但是Will像之前20年一樣對世界抱有牴觸的態度，防禦心理佔據他的整個心靈。他片面地用肖恩的畫來判定肖恩的婚姻是個錯誤，惹怒了肖恩（此時他還沒從妻子死亡的陰影中走出），肖恩冷靜下來後，還是沒有放棄，一次1小時的交談雙方沒説一句話，也許是Will最終被肖恩的默默的關懷打動，率先打破了沉寂，他開始和肖恩交流，肖恩循循善誘，試着讓他明白每個人都不是完美的。此時Will還沒有完全放下固有的觀念，因為這個原因他和女友斯凱拉一度分手。斯凱拉一個人去了加州……經歷了很多事後，Will又一次找到了肖恩，肖恩問他真正想做的是什麼，他説他想當個牧羊人，他此時對自己的人生也沒一個完整的概念，他被肖恩轟出門。他和約翰去拆牆（他之前所認為的榮耀），卻發現他的天賦一直是別人説豔羨並且嫉妒的，包括蘭博，甚至死黨約翰，約翰的一席話給了Will
很大觸動，他開始思考自己的人生，自己的追求。最終，他不再抗拒他的心扉向世人敞開，他找到了自己的方向，“i have to see the girl ”也許是最好的結局。肖恩也在與Will的一次次精神碰撞後慢慢從喪妻之痛中走出，選擇了去旅行……看了《心靈捕手》我想説的還是感覺大於語言吧，很有思想深度的一部影片。如果非要説出我能從中得到什麼啟示的話，我覺得人還是要守望自己的心靈敢於追隨自己的內心吧。
