今年全球最佳毕业演讲:“我祝福你拥有痛苦和不幸”?

毕业季,你是否被各类毕业宣言和名人演讲激励到热血沸腾?但是有人却煲了一锅毕业“毒鸡汤”:我祝福你拥有痛苦和不幸......语出美国最高法院的首席大法官在儿子的毕业典礼上的致辞。

  

 

约翰·罗伯茨,2005年9月由小布什总统提名,参议院批准通过,就任美国联邦最高法院的第17任首席大法官,是美国两个世纪以来最年轻的首席大法官。

 

“人们唯有遭遇不公时,才知道公正的价值”,约翰·罗伯茨大法官,在他儿子初中毕业典礼上的致辞,引起美国社交平台上刷屏并讨论。

 

《华盛顿邮报》在评论中说:“罗伯茨大法官本年度最好的作品,不是某个案子的判决书,而是在儿子毕业典礼上的致辞。”
