Lisa Su Speaks To MIT Class 0f 2026

      LISA T. SU: All right. Good afternoon, everyone. President Kornbluth, Chairman Gorenberg, trustees, faculty, family, friends, and most importantly, the MIT Class of 2026, congratulations. You've earned this. And I can tell you that standing here feels very different than I expected. I've given a lot of talks over the years, but this one is quite personal. And as you can imagine with Murphy's law, I somehow managed to lose my voice this week. So please bear with me if I sound a little rough. But I couldn't be happier to be here with you, and if I give you a little bit of my story. I came to MIT in the fall of 1986. My parents dropped me off at Next House. I was 17 years old, born in Taiwan, raised in Queens, and I was pretty sure I was good at math. Then, of course, I walked into 6001 and 6002, and within about two weeks, I realized there were a lot of people at MIT who were very, very good at math. And I remember staring at those first problem sets thinking,...

MIT “ Speaks President Sally Kornbluth Charge to the Class 2026”

  SALLY KORNBLUTH: Teddy and Heba, thank you both for your remarks and for your leadership. So technically, as MIT'S President, it is now my job to deliver a charge to the graduates. But this year, I faced this assignment with a serious case of humility. You are entering a world that I am certain you'll navigate better than I could. So for your charge, I decided to draw on a special resource, the collective wisdom of our alumni. I talk with a lot of MIT graduates around the world, across the country, and on our own faculty. They each put it their own way, but nearly all of them talk about how MIT changed their lives. It wasn't a subject they studied or a particular skill they acquired. It was the whole MIT experience of living and working here together and belonging to a community with our distinctive passions, and values. So as you go into the world, I want to emphasize a few of those values that will serve you wherever you go. The banners and Lobby 7 feature our MIT v...

Saran Aku Untuk Anak Muda 20-an

Jujur umur 20 adalah dimana seseorang memiliki rasa penasaran yang tinggi, banyak hal yang ingin di ketahui dari dunia ini.  Tapi saran aku dimana seseorang yang memiliki banyak sekali kesalahan di umur 20 an, dimana umur 20 kamu harus konsisten bekerja, mengumpulkan uang untuk masa depan, mengejar karir, dan belajar sebanyak banyaknya  Dimana kadang kamu tersesat merasa bosan, putus asa karna keadaan tidak kunjung berubah gini gini aja, kamu harus memiliki target yang lebih besar, sembari bertahan di tengah keputusaan tersebut, karna roda kehidupan tidak boleh berhenti. Dan harus terus berjalan. Sekali kamu berhenti kamu akan membuang buang banyak waktumu.  Kamu pingin pergi kemana boleh jangan takut, yang penting kamu tetap bekerja, sembari menabung, beli sesuatu yang kamu ingginkan sebagai reward dari kerja keras, jangan takut uang habis, karna kamu memiliki pekerjaan, dan uang akan masuk setiap bulannya.  Dan banyak orang lambat dan gagal juga karna t...

Kepedulian Terhadap Hal Hal Disekitar

  Kadang kita sebagai manusia kita tidak peduli terhadap hal hal disekitar kita, seperti sampah yang dibiarkan begitu saja, jarang bersih bersih sehingga semut datang kerumah kita, dan rumput yang tidak dipedulikan sehingga rimbun dan Panjang yang membuat hal itu tidak bagus untuk dipandang. Jangan salahkan hewan liar datang jika kamu tidak sungguh peduli terhadap hal hal disekitar kita, alam tidak melukai siapapun jika kita peduli terhadapnya, jika kita tidak peduli akan hal itu, alampun akan bertindak kejam terhadap kita, karna kepribadian kita yang gak peduli atau bisa saja sifat malas yang ada di kita. Jadi siapapun itu mulailah dari sekarang rajin rajinlah disekeliling kita dan peduli terhadap hal hal disekitar kita dan hidup kita akan lebih Bahagia dan damai. 

Grow Mindset

I used to say " I'm just not good at this"  That thought stopped me from trying. But then i learned about growth mindset, the idea that we can improve with efforts. I gave it  a try, when i failed i didnt give up. I said i'll learn and try again. Overtime i grow stronger and better and now i tell you build a growth mindset. Don't say i can't say " I can learn" Every mistake is a lesson ability to grow. With time and effort. You can do more than you think 

what is maturity ?

Maturity is when you choose silence  Because you know your energy is too precious  To waste on things that won't even matter tomorow Maturity is staying calm in chaos  Controling your emotions, even when  Everthing feels like it's turning against you  Maturity is holding back words, especially  To people who never cared about what you  Were thought in the first place  Maturity is understanding yourself  Even in the worst moment  Still finding the strength to rise  To heal, to move forward Maturity is embracing who you are  Your flaw, you scars, your past  And choosing not to judge others  The way you once did It's peace  It's growth
