Daniel Soul Goldin Former US National Space Research Organization NASA's former administrator (1992-2001) Mars Pathfinder started its journey in 1997 with the help of Goldenine, the spacecraft 'Mars Pathfinder'. He was born on July 23, 1940 in New York. He gave this speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) convocation on 8 June 2001. I'm very proud to be present at the convocation ceremony. Just before the year (2000), the University of Paduua, Italy, awarded me honorable doctorate degree this day. There I also spoke. My favorite man and model Galileo Galilei was a professor at Paddua University. There he made his first telescope. With the telescope, he discovered that many of the space is unknown. In Paduua he wrote the book Cedrus Nansius. I am more proud because Galileo speaks to all the students of the University of Paduua, then I gave a speech in the house. The same dress that I used to wear on that day, I am after that today. Originally the tradition of this dress is the tradition. But you might wonder why I am wearing this dress? I put it in to your memory to give a reflection. The day of exposing the mysterious mysteries of your life. You probably will not remember me. But this hat and coat will be lit in your eyes.
And remember Galileo, his life and ideology. Knowledge of life was the ideology of his life. He vowed himself to excel. Not only did he fight for the truth, he believed that he could discover the truth. Like Galileo, you get creative, be creative and courageous. Remember, there is no true truth hidden behind the criticism of the furious mood and the critic of the condemned person. If you want to know this truth, you have the courage to be alive. Of course, you have to trust yourself. There must be intense desire and curiosity to know the unknown, the goal must be unrivaled. Look, we've made a lot of great discoveries in the past 50 years. Journey from space to jet, send instant messages from TV to MP3, Instant Coffee. These discoveries and innovations have not only changed the world, but also our position in the world. There are more unexplained problems, you can find out the solution. Of course, you must have a habit of questioning. Look, we're still flying on a low-speed plane as before. Now the computers can count only, there is no thinking about their thinking. But the intense desire for excellence, the courage to be confident and truthful, those intellectuals and labor combined efforts will one day these problems will be eroded. On that day computers will work as human-brains. The way the birds fly, the planes fly in the sky the same way that day. Technology will be self-governed. Silicon chip based current computer searches can only match the museum on the day, just beside the dinosaurs. If you are aiming for excellence and honesty, then your dream and Galileo's dream is one. One of the diseases that did not detect any antidote, one day you will be shown the way to heal. The person who is born with the life span, at least until that time you will see the world to live. You can find out exactly how to change the global climate change. Outside our solar system, one day you will drive in the stars of space. You may look at the sky and ask questions, the question that the primitive people used to do, is we alone? Are these ambitious dreams seen? Dreams are big or risky in the sky? Know that you can definitely fall in the trap of criticism of the condemned person. No doubt, many dangers will come before you. But do not forget, Galileo was kept under house arrest for his faith. The man thought he was misguided. Do not be afraid. Wake up Shake the fear from the mind. Move forward. Failure in life is not an example of excellence. Rather the failure says that your dream is not impossible. You can win the failure with hard work. Failure can not be a hindrance, unless you want to avoid it or learn from failure.How do you respond after you have succeeded in it will not reveal the true nature of your character. What do you do after the failure, that is important. So believe me. Always be committed to learning, excelling and expressing truth. That was Galileo's education. I received this lesson from my father. I was standing here - he would have been very proud if he saw it. Perhaps he would also ask, "Dan, why are you wearing this dress?" But he would have been happy, surely. Father died for six years. During the Great Depression, my dad earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology with his College. He did not get any jobs for the next several years. He worked in the post office. At last he had been a teacher, he loved this profession. His self-reliance on life-long learning was his. He always told the truth. Likewise, he wanted to see his only son like that. Everyone says, if you are in the future And I say, the future is right now. So drive the campaign with imagination and innovation and courage, discover, give it to the world instead. Take time to love and work. You will get busy, but never forget the family and friends. As I said earlier, if Galileo had lived, he wanted to teach here. Galileo is here from another side. In fact, in front of me you are sitting in two thousand 400 Galileo, who will get degree today. You will never find your invention unimportant. Practice life-long knowledge. Get excited for more excellence. Do not seek the truth only, believe in yourself. Then you can find the truth.
Congratulations to everyone. Be happy for you.
