#100 Commencement Speeches#

3/100 Michelle Yeoh address the Harvard Law School of 2023

“Learning how to fall teaches you how to land and learning how to land gives you the courage to jump higher.” —— Michelle Yeoh

Very well said! Inspiring and joyful speech. Michelle shared three tips she picked up through her whole career life: 1, stay loose - life is full of surprises. Be able to stay calm and think out of the box. 2, know your limits - it’s more like know your strengths and dig deeper; 3, find your people - build your network and safe net.

I would say 2023 is Michelle’s year and she deserves it! You can tell from her good shape that she works hard, from her dressing style that she is smart, from her smile that she is confident and from her words that she is wise.

#我是肖像控# Richard “Strongbow” de Clare的陵寝雕像的补充说明：

The monument to Strongbow was restored by the Lord Deputy of Ireland Sir Henry Sidney in 1570.
It is however believed that Sidney installed the effigy of a different Norman knight, thought to date from around 1330. The arms on his shield are not those of the Earl of Pembroke. However, the effigy may not even come from Christ Church.
The half-size effigy has been said to be perhaps a surviving fragment of the original tomb, though it may also be 14th century.
It may represent Strongbow's son the 3rd Earl, who died as a child.
The legend that Strongbow "cut him in half" after cowardice in battle is not true.
