1、惠普首席执行官卡莉在清华大学演讲英文实录Carl Fiorina Remarks at Tsinghua UniversitBeijing, ChinaMarh 12, 20*ie, xie。 *ihao。 Those are the onl to ords of Chinese I kno。 Thats no true, I kno a thirdNi hao。 I ant to thank all of ou for taking time out of our hat I kno that is a ver bus stud shedule to be here toda。 I kno
2、this is valuable time for ou that ou ould be using to ork, or stud, or mabe to pla Sord on line。 Thank ou for having me here toda。 Coming from a pan that has“invent”as part of our brand, as part of our signature, I sometimes begin speehes b saing that invention and innovation have been part the DNA
3、of HPs for more than sixt ears。 Our sientists and engineers toda generate more than 11 patents ever da。 We spend more than 4 billion dollars a ear on RD。 So invention is part of our future as ell as part of our past。That all sounds prett impressive until ou think about Chinas histor, and ou realize
4、that“invent”has been part of Chinas DNA for more than 5,000 ears。 Ever shoolhild in Ameria learns about Chinas man gifts to this orldfrom the invention of paper, to gunpoder, the heelbarro, the pass, aupuntureright up to the first blast furnae and the first use of iron asting, bak in the sixth entur
5、。As a pan, e atuall at HP are espeiall indebted to a man named Bi Sheng, ho had the vision in 1045 A。D。 to invent the orlds first movable tpe, hih led to its first printera full 300 ears before Gutenbergs invention of movable tpe hanged the Western orld。 So toda, I ant to issue a belated thank ou to
6、 Bi Sheng for having the foresight to set in motion a proess that ould eventuall lead to a 20 billion business for HP。 That great tradition of invention and innovation has ertainl been arried on here at Tsinghua, here some of the finest instrutors in the orld toda are orking to train some of the fin
7、est sientists and engineers。 Its a bit ironi that this shool as originall established nearl 100 ears ago as a plae here oung Chinese ould go to Ameria and other estern nations to learn from us。 Toda, the rest of the orld, I think, has muh to learn from China。 Its alas struk me that the proess of inv
8、ention is a little bit like the proess of being a ollege student。 After all, as an inventor, ou go into a lab and ou have a strong but perhaps vague idea of hat ou ant to ahieve。 B orking hard, experimenting, learning along the a, and using as a guide the ork of those ho ent before ouou advane don t
9、he road toards disover。 You ma not end up here ou startedor even here ou expeted, but if ou are suessful, then begins another diffiult proess of tring to make our invention ork in the orld around ou。 Like inventors, man of ou have traveled the same road over the last four ears here in universit。 The
10、 person ou are todathe goals ou have toda, the dreams ou have todama be different from the ones ou had hen ou first ame here。 And no, ou are being prepared to take all that ouve learned here and make it ork in the orld around ou。 I believe that oung people are graduating toda into a orld filled ith
11、more hope and more promise than in an other time in our histor。 I kno sometimes that might sound strange, beause e think alas of the dangers and hallenges in the orld around us。 But I have studied histor in m life。 I do believe this is an era of great promise and great opportunit。For those of ou ho
12、have seen our ads, ou kno that the end ith the phrase,“everthing is possible。”A ni might sa that just a marketing sloganbut I atuall believe that。 I dont think ever is eas, I dont think things happens right *。 But I do think that everthing is possible。For all the remarkable advanements e have seen i
13、n reent ears, nothing has mathed the poer of information tehnolog to hange our orld for the better。 And in the next deade, it ill take us to plaes e an onl imagine toda。China is the orlds fastest-groing eonom; the orlds leader in diret foreign investment; one of the orlds largest trading nations - a
14、 leader on both the prodution and onsumption of information tehnolog。 China is poised to pla a huge part in that futureand the students ho graduate from Tsinghua Universit are poised to shape the future of tehnolog like never before。 No like an universit students, I kno for ou the road ahead has muh
15、 unertaint。 But if there is one thing I have learned in the past 20 ears in this industr, it is that the priniple that ou have learned inside the alls of Tsinghua, the priniple is more true outside the universit than inside。 The priniple I am speaking of is this: that great leaderslike great organiz
16、ations, great panies, and great nationsgreat leaders are defined not simpl b their apabilities, but b their harater。 Not just b the pan the are, but b the pan the keep。 Not b suess alonebut as Tsinghua teahes, ith self-disipline and soial onern in equal balane。 To be honest, I ish I ould sa that the road to learning that lesson for me as eas。 I ish I ould tell ou that the da I graduated from universit I kne exatl ho all the piees ould fit toget
