It‘s that same kind of thinking that brought us to China in the first place.It was 22years ago that HP opened our first office here in China，in an old municipal factory located in Beijing.A day before the opening，there was still sawdust on the floor，and two of our engineers worked so hard to get our systems ready that they slept overnight in the building on folding cots.When we opened that building，it was the first partnership of its kind to be sponsored by the government of the People’s Republic of China in conjunction with a foreign company.
That‘s the same wish I leave you with here today.This University，I believe，has prepared you well and taught you the lessons of character and capability.The leaders of tomorrow will be the people of your age with the drive and commitment to fulfill their own potential and to help others reach their potential.This is a world that in fact has always been driven by the young.
Galileo published his first book on gravity at age 22.The founders of HP，Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard，were in their 20’s when they began the company.Bill Gates after all started Microsoft when he was 22.Or think about a lesson of one of this school‘s great founders-Zhao Yuanren，one of Tsinghua’s Great Four Tutors，who knew 10European languages and dozens of Chinese dialects，who accompanied British philosopher Bertrand Russell around China and translated his English into the local dialect at each of their destinations.He was only 28at the time.
And let us not forget that the world‘s very first computer programmer was a woman in her 20s named Ada Byron Lovelace.She lived more than 150years ago.She greatly expanded on the work of her mentor，the renowned mathematician Charles Babbage，whose work on the analytical engine preceded the modern computer.Today，the computer language Ada is named for her.
Your job，your great opportunity，is to harness the forces of change swirling all around you，in whatever field you decide to enter，and to take full advantage of the possibilities at your fingertips.Leadership can take place in acts large and small，it can come not just from CEOs and Prime Ministers，but can come as well from ordinary citizens who believe in the potential of others.I hope that whatever you do，you will remember your own power and dedicate yourself to the cause Tsinghua has prepared you so well for：to dedicate yourself to unlock the potential in others；to believe in the potential of yourself；to make this era the most exciting in all of human history-and to prove，beyond a shadow of a doubt，that everything is possible.
Thank you.

一切皆有可能
——卡莉·费奥瑞纳在清华大学的演讲
“谢谢，下午好”，这是我唯一会说的两句中国话，其实不然，我还知道第三句，“你好”。我要在此感谢大家，感谢你们在紧张的课业之余出席今天的演讲。我知道你们时间的宝贵性，你们可以利用这个时间打工或者学习，或者玩些网上游戏。同时也感谢你们能邀请我到这里来演讲。
我们惠普公司的品牌中就包含创新这两个字，有时我的演讲中都会提到创新和发明是有60多年历史的惠普公司的基本组成部分。我们的科学家和工程师，每天都会推出至少11项的专利。我们每年在研发方面投入多达40亿美元，所以说发明是我们过去和未来的一个重要组成部分。
这些听起来会给人留下很深的印象，但是与中国悠久的历史相比，就相形见绌了。就大家所知中国已经有5000多年的历史了，美国每个小朋友都知道中国都给世界馈赠了什么礼物，比如四大发明：造纸术、火药、指南针、印刷术，还有独轮车，针灸，以及6世纪时中国带给世界的铸铁术。
而我们惠普最要感谢的是毕升先生，是他在1045年第一个发明了活字印刷，这比西方古腾堡的印刷术早了足足300年。所以今天我要特别谢谢他，因为他的发明给我们惠普带来了200亿美元的生意。
我认为当今的技术正在以三种基本形式发生变革，第一个大变革就是，我们需要先回顾一下科技上的所有流程和内容，由物理和模拟数字转化成数码和移动，还有虚拟。这方面有很多的例子：试想一下简单的例子就是摄影。摄影从物理变化到数码，再从数码变化为移动，而所有的这一切都正在成为虚拟的，而且可用性越来越高，任何人都可以随时随地使用。这种从物理到数字、虚拟、移动将会发生在各行各业、各种流程、各种版本。
