he was named person of the year by the financial times in 20xx, and he has been honored with the newseum’s free speech award for using his spotlight to take a public stand on important social issues.
in 20xx, the southern christian leadership conference presented tim with its keeper of the dream award for human rights during its observation of the 50th anniversary of the death of dr. martin luther king jr.
tim is truly using his influence to focus beyond his own company’s operations and to address the broader societal context.
and i hope that you, class of 20xx, will embrace his example.
wherever your own path takes you, you will have opportunities to use your platform to address the challenges of our time and to make your corner of the world a little brighter.
as tim cook has – as the stanfords did – i hope you will let your values guide you on your journey to living a life of purpose and a life of impact.
please join me in welcoming tim cook.

in those moments, it is important to return to our foundational values to guide us forward.
for myself, i always return to the founding purpose of this university – that we are here to generate excellence for the sake of all humanity.
that idea serves as stanford’s north star.
and that brings me to today’s commencement speaker, tim cook.
tim is a brilliant example of someone who has used his platform to achieve a greater impact beyond his own company.
he is a clear voice for leading with vision and values to address the challenges and responsibilities that confront society today.
a native of alabama, tim earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial engineering from auburn university and then an mba from duke university.
tim joined apple in 1998 and became the company’s chief operating officer in 20xx. he was named ceo in august 20xx.
now, apple is a large organization, with more than 100,000 employees worldwide. and it would be certainly understandable if tim focused all of his attention on the company and its operations.
but instead, he has also used his position to speak out about issues related to privacy and to address the ethical and societal implications of the technology revolution that he’s helping to lead.

tim is also known as a strong advocate for environmental issues, broader educational access, racial equity, and for the rights of the lgbtq community.
he has been vocal in his belief that corporations should do their part to make the world a better , thank you, provost drell.
again, to the members of the class of 20xx:
on behalf of stanford university, congratulations to you on this very special day.
you have graduated from the family of stanford students, and you have joined the family of stanford alumni.
from this day forward, wherever you go in the world, whatever path you explore, and whatever contribution you seek to make – you will remain forever cardinal, and forever a part of the stanford community.
and so, in closing, as you start a new journey as graduates of stanford, i hope you will remember these words:
let today serve as a beginning, and not an ending.
follow your talents, your interests, and your foundational values to discover your own unique path to living a life of purpose.
and most importantly: embrace the opportunities ahead of you and use the platform you’ve earned to change the world for the better.
congratulations, class of 20xx!

amnesty mobilises thousands of people who have never been tortured or imprisoned for their beliefs to act on behalf of those who have. the power of human empathy, leading to collective action, saves lives, and frees prisoners. ordinary people, whose personal well-being and security are assured, join together in huge numbers to save people they do not know, and will never meet. my small participation in that process was one of the most humbling and inspiring experiences of my life.
unlike any other creature on this planet, humans can learn and understand, without having experienced. they can think themselves into other people’s places.
of course, this is a power, like my brand of fictional magic, that is morally neutral. one might use such an ability to manipulate, or control, just as much as to understand or sympathise.
and many prefer not to exercise their imaginations at all. they choose to remain comfortably within the bounds of their own experience, never troubling to wonder how it would feel to have been born other than they are. they can refuse to hear screams or to peer inside cages; they can close their minds and hearts to any suffering that does not touch them personally; they can refuse to know.
i might be tempted to envy people who can live that way, except that i do not think they have any fewer nightmares than i do. choosing to live in narrow spaces leads to a form of mental agoraphobia, and that brings its own terrors. i think the wilfully unimaginative see more monsters. they are often more afraid.
what is more, those who choose not to empathise enable real monsters. for without ever committing an act of outright evil ourselves, we collude with it, through our own apathy.
one of the many things i learned at the end of that classics corridor down which i ventured at the age of 18, in search of something i could not then define, was this, written by the greek author plutarch: what we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

they chose to use their platform to ensure not just that their son would be remembered, but that a new university, built in his name, would exist to benefit others.
since the stanfords didn’t have the opportunity to give their son the future he had envisioned, they devoted themselves to creating a university that would produce both fundamental knowledge and apply that knowledge to tackle real-world problems – but that that would also help countless other students build their own platforms and launch their own lives of purpose.
as stanford graduates, you have built and earned your platform.
your education and experiences here will give you opportunities to pursue your interests and follow your own unique path.
of course, you’ve worked tremendously hard to achieve this success. and i know that it hasn’t always been easy. each of you has had to overcome obstacles to get to where you are today.
and all of that hard work – the midnight coffee breaks; the final exams; the hours spent in the library, or the studio, or the laboratory – have brought you here today.
and you haven’t stopped there.
you’ve thrown yourself into activities and experiences here – whether sports or the arts, student government or the student newspaper, service work, sketch comedy, the band, or…or – especially as i’ve seen in the last week – fountain hopping!
these experiences have enriched your lives, and they, too, have brought you to where you are today.

you have a world of opportunity in front of you, and it is for you to decide what to do with this platform that you’ve worked so hard to earn.
no matter what field you enter after graduation, you have the opportunity to use your gifts to make a difference in the world.
this can feel daunting, at the outset of your post-stanford life. some of you may know exactly what contribution you want to make in the world, while others may still be searching for your way to make an impact.
but whatever you do, whatever profession you pursue or journey you take – whether you become a teacher or a community leader, a lawyer or a physician, an engineer or an artist, or a scholar or a scientist, or a mother or father, a caregiver to the next generation – whatever you make of your life and the opportunities before you, i hope you will use your gifts to change the world for the better.
having a platform also comes with a responsibility. it requires an ongoing process of self-examination and a continual return to your guiding values.
you may find, at times, that the path forward is unclear. or you may realize, in hindsight, that you have made missteps along the way.
all of us make mistakes. i certainly do – just ask my wife and kids!
all of our lives require self-examination.

so given a time turner, i would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. your qualifications, your cv, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
now you might think that i chose my second theme, the importance of imagination, because of the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is not wholly so. though i personally will defend the value of bedtime stories to my last gasp, i have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense. imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. in its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
one of the greatest formative experiences of my life preceded harry potter, though it informed much of what i subsequently wrote in those books. this revelation came in the form of one of my earliest day jobs. though i was sloping off to write stories during my lunch hours, i paid the rent in my early 20s by working at the african research department at amnesty international’s headquarters in london.
there in my little office i read hastily scribbled letters smuggled out of totalitarian regimes by men and women who were risking imprisonment to inform the outside world of what was happening to them. i saw photographs of those who had disappeared without trace, sent to amnesty by their desperate families and friends. i read the testimony of torture victims and saw pictures of their injuries. i opened handwritten, eye-witness accounts of summary trials and executions, of kidnappings and rapes.
many of my co-workers were ex-political prisoners, people who had been displaced from their homes, or fled into exile, because they had the temerity to speak against their governments. visitors to our offices included those who had come to give information, or to try and find out what had happened to those they had left behind.
i shall never forget the african torture victim, a young man no older than i was at the time, who had become mentally ill after all he had endured in his homeland. he trembled uncontrollably as he spoke into a video camera about the brutality inflicted upon him. he was a foot taller than i was, and seemed as fragile as a child.

but holmes understood as we should by now as well that a tolerant society is necessary for the purposes of seeking the truth, that this is produced through an act of collective commitment to live according to its values and that this requires constant vigilance and persistent reassertion of those values, yet we often lapse.
unsurprisingly then, history provides countless illustrations of these ideas colliding with people in government who felt threatened by the current of their time and chose to be hostile to the imagination and enamored of their own power and belief.
at the end of the first world war, western civilization had lost its way and the political and economic spanisions were unraveling the status quo. fears of russia and the spread of communism and socialism along with growing unrest among labor give rise to fear and panic among those who wished to preserve the world as it was.
all these forces of instability, in turn, escalated into repression, censorship and the scapegoating of marginal populations, of radicals, dissenters, nonconformance, foreigner and immigrants. the leader of the american socialist party eugene debs was imprisoned for delivering a speech.
today, a century later, a new threat to our core values has emerged, around the world and in this country. the rise of authoritarianism often in the guys of democratically elected despots has become the defining feature of modern life. the tactics, unfortunately, are age-old and time tests.
there must be an in-group, conceived around religious ethnic, racial or nationalistic lines and an outgroup. typically, foreigners, immigrants, elites, or an opposing party.
