Wealth isn't measured in bling and Bentleys. It's measured in the richness of the human spirit. It's measured not in what we take from this world, but what we give to it.
John Roberts
Niagara University Commencement 2005, 2005
这句语录背后的故事
John Roberts, a British-born American journalist and news anchor, delivered the commencement address at Niagara University in 2005. He opened with a sharp critique of American culture — a 'collective case of Attention Deficit Disorder' where people with no discernible skills become celebrities and moral values fall by the wayside in the pursuit of status. Roberts then offered this redefinition of wealth, arguing that true richness is found not in material accumulation but in generosity of spirit. As someone who had covered presidents, wars, and natural disasters throughout his career, Roberts had witnessed both the worst and best of humanity. His message was clear: the graduates' worth would be measured not by what they acquired but by what they contributed.
