但是我们生活在不够稳定的时代。有许多人被全球化抛在后面，如果我们觉得自己的生活不够好，那么很难去关心其他地方的人。这就是我们这个时代面临的困境。自由、公开的全球社区力量反对独 裁、孤立主义以及民族主义的力量，知识、贸易以及迁徙的流动力量反对阻止它们的力量。这不是一场国家之战，而是思想大战。每个国家都有人支持全球连接，当然也有人反对。
这种情况并非联合国能够解决的，因为它发生在地方层面，当有足够多的人产生使命感，生活稳定后，我们就会开始关心别人。最好的方法就是从现在开始建设本地社区。我们都从自己的社区中获益。无论这些社区是房屋还是运动队伍、教堂还是音乐团体，他们都让我们觉得自己是某个更大东西的一部分，我们并不孤单。同时，他们也会赋予我们更大的力量，帮助我们去扩展视野。
这就是它为何数十年来如此引人注目的原因，各种团体成员人数最多下降了1/4，许多人现在需要在其他地方找到自己的目标。但我知道，我们可以重建我们的社区，开始新的社区，因为你们许多人已经身在社区中。我曾与今天毕业的艾格尼丝·伊格耶（Agnes Igoye）聊天，她的童年是在乌干达战区中度过的，如今她已经培训了数以千计的执法人员，帮助确保社区安全。我也见到了凯拉·奥科利（Kayla Oakley）和尼哈·贾恩（Niha Jain），他们创建了非盈利组织，将遭受疾病折磨的人与社区中愿意提供帮助的人联系起来。还有大卫·拉族·亚兹纳（David Razu Aznar），他曾是前市政厅议员，成功带领墨西哥城成为拉丁美洲首个支持婚姻平等的城市，甚至在旧金山之前。
我也有类似的个人经历。作为大学宿舍中的学生，连接某个社区，维持它直到其联通整个世界。改变往往始于局部。即使全球性的改变也从小地方开始，就像我们这样的人。在我们这代人中，挑战在于能否连接更多人，能否实现最大的机遇，即创建社区和人人都有使命感的世界。
2017届毕业生们，你们即将步入需要目标的世界，而且它是由你们创造的。现在，你可能在想：我真的能做到吗？你们还记得我从教的故事吗？有一天放学后，我与孩子们讨论大学的事情，其中有个孩子举起手说，他不确定自己能上大学，因为他没有合法证件。他不知道这是否会阻止他上大学。去年，我带他去庆祝生日，我想送他一份礼物，为此我问他想要什么，他开始谈论自己见过的处于困境中的学生，并说：“你知道，我非常想要有关社会公正的书籍。”
我很受感动，这个孩子有愤世嫉俗的理由。他不知道被他称之为祖国的国度是否能圆他上大学的梦想。但他并不觉得自己可怜，甚至没有为自己考虑过。他有更大的使命感，他正吸引更多人追随他。鉴于目前的情况，我无法提及他的名字，因为我不想他陷入危险中。但如果一位不知道未来在何方的高中生都能够竭尽自己所能推动世界前进，那么我们更应该为这个世界做点儿什么。
当你们最后一次走出哈佛大学的校门时，当我们坐在纪念礼堂前时，我想起一段祈祷“Mi Shebeirach”，每当我面对挑战时，当我抱着她并想到女儿的未来时，我都会向她唱诵。“愿力量之源，保佑我们面前的人，帮助我们找到勇气，让我们的生活得到祝福。”我希望你们也能找让生活受到祝福的勇气。再次祝贺你们，并祝你们好运！（小小）

Harvard Commencement 2017
President Faust, Board of Overseers, faculty, alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world,
I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could. If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations!
I'm an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation. We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures. We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're building together.
But first, the last couple of days have brought back a lot of good memories.
How many of you remember exactly what you were doing when you got that email telling you that you got into Harvard? I was playing Civilization and I ran downstairs, got my dad, and for some reason, his reaction was to video me opening the email. That could have been a really sad video. I swear getting into Harvard is still the thing my parents are most proud of me for.
What about your first lecture at Harvard? Mine was Computer Science 121 with the incredible Harry Lewis. I was late so I threw on a t-shirt and didn't realize until afterwards it was inside out and backwards with my tag sticking out the front. I couldn't figure out why no one would talk to me -- except one guy, KX Jin, he just went with it. We ended up doing our problem sets together, and now he runs a big part of Facebook. And that, Class of 2017, is why you should be nice to people.
But my best memory from Harvard was meeting Priscilla. I had just launched this prank website Facemash, and the ad board wanted to "see me". Everyone thought I was going to get kicked out. My parents came to help me pack. My friends threw me a going away party. As luck would have it, Priscilla was at that party with her friend. We met in line for the bathroom in the Pfoho Belltower, and in what must be one of the all time romantic lines, I said: "I'm going to get kicked out in three days, so we need to go on a date quickly."
Actually, any of you graduating can use that line.
