Taught me that Paul had made the moral choice to do the deep connection to do that hard work to understanding that love is part of healing All those little small acts that Paul did and his staff

保罗做的是一种道德选择 希望建立更深的人际联系更努力去理解 爱其实也是治疗的一部分保罗及其团队所做的一切看似微小

人物简介和演讲视频

人物简介

本视频是比尔盖茨夫人、比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会联合创始人梅琳达·盖茨在杜克大学2013届毕业典礼上的演讲。她这次演讲的主题是联系。

她认为互联网的发展能够为全世界之间人的联系提供一个非常好的平台，能让人把与自己生活在不同环境中的人，理解为和自己本质上一样的人，建立起直接沟通的桥梁。比起抽象的概念，这种具体联系，能让人更愿意去帮助那些同自己一样，但生活条件更糟糕的人。这样一来人类才有可能真正实现马丁·路德·金所说的所有人情同手足的世界。于提问，不要怕难为情；要有勇于改变世界的勇气；要比任何人都更加努力，因为生命中没有任何东西能够替代努力。
