Larry herison _ Yale University speech

English

Moderate

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 good 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 thirty 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 CT? 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 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 every 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 w Ill 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 t O #10 or #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 percent 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 9 anymore. you have a built-in cap, and I'm not referring to the mortarboards on your heads. Hmm... you're really very upset. that's understandable. so perhaps this cocould 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 cheques 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 .)

I'm sorry, graduates of Yale-if you don't like this opening. I want you to do one thing for me. Please take a good look around, look at the students standing on your left, and look at the students standing on your right. Assume that the person standing on your left is a loser five years later, ten years later, or thirty years later, it is also a failure. And you, the guy standing in the middle, what do you think? It is also a failure. Failed. The top priority of failure. To be honest, I am standing here today and have not seen the bright future of one thousand graduates. I did not see one thousand outstanding leaders in one thousand industries, but I only saw one thousand losers. It is understandable that you are frustrated. Why, I, herison, and a retired student, are so arrogant in the United States's most prestigious schools? Let me tell you why. Because, I, herison, the second richest person on the planet, is a retired student, and you are not. Because Bill Gates, the richest person on the planet-for now-is a retired student, and you are not. Because of Alan, the third richest person on the planet has also left school, and you have not. Here is more evidence, Because Dell, the first richest person on the planet-his ranking is still on the rise and he is also a retired student. And you, no. You are very frustrated. This is understandable. You will need these useful work habits in the future. You will need this kind of "treatment" in the future "'. You need them because you didn't drop out of school, so you will never be the richest person in the world. Oh, of course, you can. Maybe, in your way, progress to 10th bits and 11th bits, just like Steve. But I didn't tell you who he is working for, did you? According to the record, he was a graduate student and started later. Now, I guess there are many of you, maybe the vast majority, wondering, "What can we do? Do I have any prospects? "Of course not. It's too late. You have absorbed too many things and thought you know too much. You are no longer 19 years old. You have a ''built-in ''hat. Oh, I'm not referring to the degree cap on your head. Well, you are very frustrated. This is understandable. So now it may be time to discuss things-it's not for you, graduates of 2000. You have been reimbursed and will not be considered. I think, you just sneaked into the poor job with an annual salary of 0.2 million, where the payroll was signed by a classmate who dropped out of school two years ago. In fact, I hope that I have not graduated yet. I want to tell them to leave here. Pack your stuff and bring your ideas. Don't come back. Drop out of school and start taking action. I want to tell you that a hat set of academic servers will inevitably lead you down ...... just as these security guards are about to take me away from this podium ...... (at this time, Larry herison was taken away from the podium)
