thank you.

thank you, president chen, chairmen ren, vice president chi, vice minister wei.

we are delighted to be here today with a very large american delegation, including the first lady and our daughter, who is a student at stanford, one of the schools with which beijing university has a relationship.

we have six members of the united states congress; the secretary of state; secretary of commerce; the secretary of agriculture; the chairman of our council of economic advisors; senator sasser, our ambassador; the national security advisor and my chief of staff, among others.

i say that to illustrate the importance that the united states places on our relationship with china.

i would like to begin by congratulating all of you, the students, the faculty, the administrators, on celebrating the centennial year of your university.

gongxi, beida.

(applause.)

as im sure all of you know, this campus was once home to yenching university which was founded by american missionaries.

many of its wonderful buildings were designed by an american architect.

thousands of americans students and professors have come here to study and teach.

we feel a special kinship with you.

i am, however, grateful that this day is different in one important respect from another important occasion 79 years ago.

in june of 1919, the first president of yenching university, john leighton stuart, was set to deliver the very first commencement address on these very grounds.

at the appointed hour, he appeared, but no students appeared.

they were all out leading the may 4th movement for chinas political and cultural renewal.

when i read this, i hoped that when i walked into the auditorium today, someone would be sitting here.

and i thank you for being here, very much.

(applause.)

over the last 100 years, this university has grown to more than 20,000 students.

your graduates are spread throughout china and around the world.

you have built the largest university library in all of asia.

last year, 20 percent of your graduates went abroad to study, including half of your math and science majors.

and in this anniversary year, more than a million people in china, asia, and beyond have logged on to your web site.

at the dawn of a new century, this university is leading china into the future.

i come here today to talk to you, the next generation of chinas leaders, about the critical importance to your future of building a strong partnership between china and the united states.

the american people deeply admire china for its thousands of years of contributions to culture and religion, to philosophy and th ……此处隐藏14517个字……or giving rides to the airport， but twentysomethings who huddle together with like—minded peers limit who they know， what they know， how they think， how they speak， and where they work。 That new piece of capital， that new person to date almost always comes from outside the inner circle。 New things come from what are called our weak ties， our friends of friends of friends。 So yes， half of twentysomethings are un— or under—employed。 But half aren't， and weak ties are how you get yourself into that group。 Half of new jobs are never posted， so reaching out to your neighbor's boss is how you get that un—posted job。 It's not cheating。 It's the science of how information spreads。

Last but not least， Emma believed that you can't pick your family， but you can pick your friends。 Now this was true for her growing up， but as a twentysomething， soon Emma would pick her family when she partnered with someone and created a family of her own。 I told Emma the time to start picking your family is now。 Now you may be thinking that 30 is actually a better time to settle down than 20， or even 25， and I agree with you。 But grabbing whoever you're living with or sleeping with when everyone on Facebook starts walking down the aisle is not progress。 The best time to work on your marriage is before you have one， and that means being as intentional with love as you are with work。 Picking your family is about consciously choosing who and what you want rather than just making it work or killing time with whoever happens to be choosing you。

So what happened to Emma？ Well， we went through that address book， and she found an old roommate's cousin who worked at an art museum in another state。 That weak tie helped her get a job there。 That job offer gave her the reason to leave that live—in boyfriend。 Now， five years later， she's a special events planner for museums。 She's married to a man she mindfully chose。 She loves her new career， she loves her new family， and she sent me a card that said， "Now the emergency contact blanks don't seem big enough。"

Now Emma's story made that sound easy， but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings。 They are so easy to help。 Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX， bound for somewhere west。 Right after takeoff， a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji。 Likewise， at 21 or 25 or even 29， one good conversation， one good break， one good TED Talk， can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come。

So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know。 It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex。 It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day： Thirty is not the new 20， so claim your adulthood， get some identity capital， use your weak ties， pick your family。 Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do。 You're deciding your life right now。 Thank you。
