Barbara Pierce Bush: Commencement Address at Wellesley College

这篇演讲强调了个人信念的重要性、追求快乐及珍惜人际关系的价值。演讲者鼓励毕业生们投身于社会的重大议题中,保持乐观的态度,并且认识到家庭与友情的重要性远超过职业成就。

Thank you. Thank you, very much. Thank you very, very much, President Keohane. Mrs. Gorbachev, Trustees, Faculty, Parents, and I should say, Julia Porter, class president, and certainly my new best friend, Christine Bicknell – and, of course, the Class of 1990. I am really thrilled to be here today, and very excited, as I know you all must be, that Mrs. Gorbachev could join us.
These are exciting times. They’re exciting in Washington, and I have really looked forward to coming to Wellesley. I thought it was going to be fun. I never dreamt it would be this much fun. So, thank you for that.
More than ten years ago, when I was invited here to talk about our experiences in the People’s Republic of China, I was struck by both the natural beauty of your campus and the spirit of this place.
Wellesley, you see, is not just a place but an idea – an experiment in excellence in which diversity is not just tolerated, but is embraced. The essence of this spirit was captured in a moving speech about tolerance given last year by a student body president of one of your sister colleges. She related the story by Robert Fulghum about a young pastor, finding himself in charge of some very energetic children, hits upon a game called “Giants, Wizards, and Dwarfs.” “You have to decide now,” the pastor instructed the children, “which you are – a giant, a wizard or a dwarf?” At that, a small girl tugging at his pants leg, asked, “But where do the mermaids stand?” And the pastor tells her there are no mermaids. And she says, “Oh yes there are. I am a mermaid.”
Now this little girl knew what she was, and she was not about to give up on either her identity, or the game. She intended to take her place wherever mermaids fit into the scheme of things. Where do the mermaids stand? All of those who are different, those who do not fit the boxes and the pigeonholes?” “Answer that question,” wrote Fulghum, “And you can build a school, a nation, or a whole world.” As that very wise young woman said, “Diversity, like anything worth having, requires effort. Effort to learn about and respect difference, to be compassionate with one another, to cherish our own identity, and to accept unconditionally the same in others.
You should all be very proud that this is the Wellesley spirit. Now I know your first choice today was Alice Walker – guess how I know! – known for The Color Purple. Instead you got me – known for the color of my hair! Alice Walker’s book has a special resonance here. At Wellesley, each class is known by a special color. For four years the Class of ‘90 has worn the color purple. Today you meet on Severance Green to say goodbye to all of that, to begin a new and very personal journey, to search for your own true colors.
In the world that awaits you, beyond the shores of Lake Waban, no one can say what your true colors will be. But this I do know: You have a first class education from a first class school. And so you need not, probably cannot, live a “paint-by-numbers” life. Decisions are not irrevocable. Choices do come back. And as you set off from Wellesley, I hope that many of you will consider making three very special choices.
The first is to believe in something larger than yourself, to get involved in some of the big ideas of our time. I chose literacy because I honestly believe that if more people could read, write and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems that plague our nation and our society.
And early on I made another choice which I hope you’ll make as well. Whether you are talking about education, career, or service, you’re talking about life – and life really must have joy. It’s supposed to be fun!
One of the reasons I made the most important decision of my life, to marry George Bush, is because he made me laugh. It’s true, sometimes we’ve laughed through our tears. But that shared laughter has been one of our strongest bonds. Find the joy in life, because as Ferris Bueller said on his day off, “Life moves pretty fast; and ya don’t stop and look around once in a while, ya gonna miss it!”
(I am not going to tell George ya clapped more for Ferris than ya clapped for George.)
The third choice that must not be missed is to cherish your human connections: your relationships with family and friends. For several years, you’ve had impressed upon you the importance to your career of dedication and hard work. And, of course, that’s true. But as important as your obligations as a doctor, a lawyer, a business leader will be, you are a human being first. And those human connections — with spouses, with children, with friends – are the most important investments you will ever make.
At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, winning one more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a child, a friend or a parent.
We are in a transitional period right now, fascinating and exhilarating times, learning to adjust to changes and the choices we, men and women, are facing. As an example, I remember what a friend said, on hearing her husband complain to his buddies that he had to babysit. Quickly setting him straight, my friend told her husband that when it’s your own kids, it’s not called babysitting.
Now, maybe we should adjust faster; maybe we should adjust slower. But whatever the era whatever the times, one thing will never change: fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first. You must read to your children. And you must hug your children. And you must love your children. Your success as a family, our success as a society, depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house.
For over fifty years, it was said that the winner of Wellesley’s annual hoop race would be the first to get married. Now they say, the winner will be the first to become a C.E.O. Both of those stereotypes show too little tolerance for those who want to know where the mermaids stand. So I want to offer a new legend: the winner of the hoop race will be the first to realize her dream – not society’s dreams – her own personal dream.
And who knows? Somewhere out in this audience may even be someone who will one day follow in my footsteps, and preside over the White House as the President’s spouse.
I wish him well!
Well, the controversy ends here. But our conversation is only beginning. And a worthwhile conversation it has been. So as you leave Wellesley today, take with you deep thanks for the courtesy and the honor you have shared with Mrs. Gorbachev and with me. Thank you. God bless you. And may your future be worthy of your dreams.

在金融行业中,对信用风险的判断是核心环节之一,其结果对机构的信贷政策和风险控制策略有直接影响。本文将围绕如何借助机器学习方法,尤其是Sklearn工具包,建立用于判断信用状况的预测系统。文中将涵盖逻辑回归、支持向量机等常见方法,并通过实际操作流程进行说明。 一、机器学习基本概念 机器学习属于人工智能的子领域,其基本理念是通过数据自动学习规律,而非依赖人工设定规则。在信贷分析中,该技术可用于挖掘历史数据中的潜在规律,进而对未来的信用表现进行预测。 二、Sklearn工具包概述 Sklearn(Scikit-learn)是Python语言中广泛使用的机器学习模块,提供多种数据处理和建模功能。它简化了数据清洗、特征提取、模型构建、验证与优化等流程,是数据科学项目中的常用工具。 三、逻辑回归模型 逻辑回归是一种常用于分类任务的线性模型,特别适用于二类问题。在信用评估中,该模型可用于判断借款人是否可能违约。其通过逻辑函数将输出映射为0到1之间的概率值,从而表示违约的可能性。 四、支持向量机模型 支持向量机是一种用于监督学习的算法,适用于数据维度高、样本量小的情况。在信用分析中,该方法能够通过寻找最佳分割面,区分违约与非违约客户。通过选用不同核函数,可应对复杂的非线性关系,提升预测精度。 五、数据预处理步骤 在建模前,需对原始数据进行清理与转换,包括处理缺失值、识别异常点、标准化数值、筛选有效特征等。对于信用评分,常见的输入变量包括收入水平、负债比例、信用历史记录、职业稳定性等。预处理有助于减少噪声干扰,增强模型的适应性。 六、模型构建与验证 借助Sklearn,可以将数据集划分为训练集和测试集,并通过交叉验证调整参数以提升模型性能。常用评估指标包括准确率、召回率、F1值以及AUC-ROC曲线。在处理不平衡数据时,更应关注模型的召回率与特异性。 七、集成学习方法 为提升模型预测能力,可采用集成策略,如结合多个模型的预测结果。这有助于降低单一模型的偏差与方差,增强整体预测的稳定性与准确性。 综上,基于机器学习的信用评估系统可通过Sklearn中的多种算法,结合合理的数据处理与模型优化,实现对借款人信用状况的精准判断。在实际应用中,需持续调整模型以适应市场变化,保障预测结果的长期有效性。 资源来源于网络分享,仅用于学习交流使用,请勿用于商业,如有侵权请联系我删除!
