小　　出卖自己的灵魂。

　　我和其他求职者：我很荣幸能成为其中首先祝贺你完成你的年在北卡罗莱纳州A＆T. 但是大家一定要知道：作为母亲的Daygifts去，这将是很难被击败，在未来的岁月。

　　毕业典礼演讲的目的是免除智慧。但我年龄的增长，我越来越意识到，我学会了在生活中最重要的智慧来自我的母亲和我的父亲。之前，我们再往前走，让我们听听你的母亲和母亲，父亲和父亲的形象，家庭，和朋友们在今天的观众更多的时间。

　　当我初次收到来这里演讲的邀请，我是80美元亿美元的财富11强公司在世界各地的178个国家的145,000名员工的CEO。我认为，工作了近六年。这也是一个公司，聘请其公平份额的毕业生，从北卡罗莱纳州A＆T. 你总是可以告诉他们是谁。出于某种原因，他们是那些贴在他们的办公桌上写着，“击败老鹰。”

　　但是，正如你可能已经听说过，我没有那份工作了。我离开的消息爆出后，我打电话给学校，问：“你还想我来毕业典礼的演讲人呢？

　　雷尼克校长把我的恐惧休息。他说，“卡莉，如果有的话，你可能与这些学生有更多的共同点，现在比以前。” 他是对的。毕竟，我已经在我的简历上工作。我已经罗列自己的介绍人。我买了一个新套装以备面试。如果这里有招聘人员，我会在11左右。

　　我要感谢你为我反正。这是我，因为我离开惠普公开亮相。我非常希望到这里来，因为这所学校一直被分开的东西，我认为非常深刻的东西把我带回到我在生活中最初的记忆。

　　有，在教堂，母亲给了我一个小盘子，上面有一条谚语。在我整个童年，我不停地在我的面前，这句话在我的房间的小书桌上。事实上，我仍然可以告诉你今天该过山车。它说：“你是什么由上帝的礼物送给你成为什么则是你自己对上帝的礼物。”

　　这些话我到这了巨大的影响。这个学校与我同样深信的是，我们思考自己的生命时，我们不应该被限制其他人的成见或偏见。相反，我们应该是出于我们自己的可能性的感觉。我们的动机应该由我们自己的成就感。我们应该促使我们相信我们可以成为什么。Jesse Jackson的经历告诉我们，Ronald McNair的经历告诉我们，Greensboro Four的教导我们，人专注于可能性的人比注重局限性的人在生活中获得的要多得多。

　　今天大家的问题是：你做什么你自己，你将如何定义？

　　对我来说，你自己所做的实际上是两个问题。有“你”，人们从外表上看到的。这就是如何大多数人判断你的，因为它是所有他们可以看到你在生活中，不管你这个国家的总统或行政总裁的，可见你。

　　但是，你是看不到，“你”就在里面。这就是人，只有你自己和上帝才明白。25年来，当人们向我询问职业生涯的意见时，我总是告诉他们，不要放弃你的内在。千万不要贩卖你的灵魂。因为没有人能够支付得起你回来。

　　不出卖自己的灵魂，我的意思是不要你不是的人，不要比你的少，不要放弃你所相信的，因为无论结果看起来可能多么的可怕或糟糕 - 无论保持自己本性的后果是 - 他们是远远优于出卖自己的灵魂的后果。

　　你已经过测试，切切在你的生活中去这一刻。你们都知道比我好得多了：你离开这个校园的那一刻起，您将被测试。您将被测试，因为你不会满足一些人的先入为主的观念或刻板印象你应该是，你是谁应该是什么。人都会有成见，你可以或不能做，你会或不会做，你应该或不应该做的。但是，只有你的权，如果你让他们有你的权力。他们只能控制，如果你让他们拥有控制权，如果你放弃了里面是什么。

　　我从经验发言。我一直在那里。我一直在那里，在毕业离校的方式 - 在很多方面，在我心中的恐惧，完全一样的地方。事实是，我已经在努力的操控感，因为有，我离开大学。

　　我害怕的，我从大学毕业。什么人会认为我很害怕。恐怕无法衡量了。我很害怕做出错误的选择。令人失望的人谁辛辛苦苦送我上学，我怕。

　　我曾与中世纪历史和哲学的学位毕业。如果你有一份工作所需的知识哥白尼或12世纪欧洲僧侣，我是你的人。但是，就业市场不是很强烈。

　　So, I was planning to go to law school, not because it was a lifelong dream. Because I thought it was expected of me. Because I realized that I could never be the artist my mother was, so I would try to be the lawyer my father was. So, I went off to law school. For the first three months, I barely slept. I had a blinding headache every day. And I can tell you exactly which shower tile I was looking at in my parent's bathroom on a trip home when it hit me like a lightning bolt. This is my life. I can do what I want. I have control. I walked downstairs and said, "I quit."

　　I will give my parents credit in some ways. That was 1976. They could have said, "Oh well, you can get married." Instead, they said, "We're worried that you'll never amount to anything." It took me a while to prove them wrong. My first job was working for a brokerage firm. I had a title. It was not "VP." It was "receptionist." I answered phones, I typed, I filed. I did that for a year. And then, I went and lived in Italy, teaching English to Italian businessmen and their families. I discovered that I liked business. I liked the pragmatism of it; the pace of it. Even though it hadn't been my goal, I became a businessperson.

　　I like big challenges, and the career path I chose for myself at the beginning was in one of the most male-dominated professions in America. I went to work for AT&T. It didn't take me long to realize that there were many people there who didn't have my best interests at heart.

　　I began my career as a first level sales person within AT&T's long lines department. Now, "long lines" is what we used to call the long distance business, but I used to refer to the management team at AT&T as the "42 longs" which was their suit size, and all those suits and faces looked the same.

　　I'll never forget the first time my boss at the time introduced me to a client. With a straight face, he said "this is Carly Fiorina, our token bimbo." I laughed, I did my best to dazzle the client, and then I went to the boss when the meeting was over and said, "You will never do that to me again."

　　In those early days, I was put in a program at the time called the Management Development Program. It was sort of an accelerated up-or-out program, and I was thrown into the middle of a group of all male sales managers who had been there quite a long time, and they thought it was their job to show me a thing or two. A client was coming to town and we had decided that we were getting together for lunch to introduce me to this customer who was important to one of my accounts.

　　Now the day before this meeting was to occur, one of my male colleagues came to me and said, "You know, Carly, I'm really sorry. I know we've had this planned for a long time, but this customer has a favorite restaurant here in Washington, D.C., and they really want to go to that restaurant, and we need to do what the customer wants, and so I don't think you'll be able to join us."
