    Never, Ever Give Up 4(2'33)


    But the truth is, all those orations(演说 致辞) that I had practiced, just to get myself through some training swims as motivations, it wasn't like that,

    was a very real moment, with that crowd, with my team,

    We did it, I didn't do it, we ()did it.

    and we'll never forget it. it always be part  of us.

    And the three things I did sort of blurt out(脱口而出) when we got there, was first, Never ever give up.

    I live it.

    What's the phrase from today from Socrates(苏格拉底)? To be is to do.

    So I don't stand up and say, " Don't ever give up."

    I didn't give up. It was action behind these words.

    The second is, you can chase your dreams at any age, you're never too old.

    64, that no one, at any age, any gender, could ever do has done it.

    And there's no doubt in my mind that I am at the prime of my life today.

    And the third thing  I said on the beach was , It looks like the most solitary(独自的 独处的) endeavor(努力 试图) in the world, and in many ways, of course , it is.

    And in other ways, under the most important ways, it's a team. And if you think I'm a badass, you want to meet Bonnie.

    Bonnie, where are you?

    Where are you?

    There's Bonnie Stoll.

    My buddy.

    The Henry David Thoreau(亨利 戴维 梭罗) quote goes," When you achieve your dreams, it's not so much what you get, as who  you have become in achieving them.

    And yet, I stand before you now.

    When the 3 month since that swim ended, I've sat down with the Oprah, and I've been in president Obama's Oval office;

    I've been invited to speak in front of the esteemed groups such as yourselves, I've signed a wonderful major book contract.

    All that's great , and I don't denigrate(诋毁 诽谤) it.

    I'm proud it all, But the truth is, I'm walking around tall because I'm that bold, fearless person.

    And I will be, every day, until it's time for these days to be done.

    Thank you very much and enjoy the conference.

    Find the way.
