访谈录 罗伯特·德尼罗纽约大学毕业演讲

 Finally, tonight those College graduation speeches usually filled with inspirational advice, but this year, the famous speakers have taken a tough love, no nonsense tone, one of them, we should let you know, using some of his trade mark colorful language. There is abc’s Stevenson Tommy.

This was not one of those dreamy graduation speeches to graduates telling them to go follow their bliss¹.

You made it. And you are fucked.

Oscar winning actor Robert De Niro was speaking colorfully at the commencement for New York University Tisch school of arts.

The school of medicine graduates, each one will get a job. The proud graduates of NYU School of Law, they are covered. And if they are not, who cares, they are lawyers. 

It’s what graduates called the real world. You are experienced for listening to a part, or placing in a company.

You may also be feeling some real anxiety about venturing out to the world beyond these walls.

Sharing hard truths was in season.

Here it is, no one has any idea what’s gonna happen.

Those of you who are graduating this afternoon, with high honors, awards, and extensions, I’d say well done. And I’d like to tell the c students, you too can be president.

They spoke² long about inevitability³ of rejection⁴ and moving passed it. 

You venture, you battle, cry, next. You didn’t get that part. That’s my point. Next. You’ll get the next one, or the next one after that. Break a leg.

Good advise tonight to anyone heading out to the world.

Stevenson Tommy, abc news, atlanta.

And our thanks to Steve for that. Thank you for watching on this memorial. I am Amy Robbock. I’ll see you tomorrow for good morning America for David Oliver’s here. Good night.
