We think of our homes as places of warmth, familiarity and love; of shared stories and memories, which is perhaps why at this time of year so many return to where they grew up. There is a timeless simplicity to the pull of home.
家是我们熟悉的温暖港湾,它承载着家人的爱、故事和记忆。这大概也是为什么每年此刻,人们都会回到养育他们长大的地方。家的召唤简单朴素,却总是魂牵梦萦。
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
你们如果还没有发现自己喜欢什么,那就不断地去寻找,不要急于做出决定。就像一切要凭借感觉去做的事情一样,一旦找到了自己喜欢的事,感觉就会告诉你。就像任何一种美妙的关系,历久弥新。因此,要不断地寻找,直到找到自己真正喜欢的,不要半途而废。
Our schools and communities suffer from deep inequality—we fail to guarantee every student the right to a good education.
我们的学校和社区都在遭受着严重的不平等待遇,不能保证每个学生都能接受良好的教育。
And yet we are not powerless in the face of these problems. You are not powerless to fix them.
但面对这些问题,我们并非无能为力,可以通过自己的努力去纠正它。
No generation has ever held more power than yours. And no generation has a chance to change things faster than yours can. The pace at which progress is possible has accelerated dramatically. Aided by technology, every individual has the tools, potential, and reach to build a better world.
没有哪一代人比你们拥有更强大的力量,没有哪一代人比你们能够更快的做出改变。我们现在实现目标的速度已经大幅缩短,在科技的帮助下,每个人都可以通过工具、潜能和自己的能力建设一个更美好的世界。
That makes this the best time in history to be alive. Whatever you choose to do with your life, wherever your passion takes you.
这是有史以来最好的时代,无论你选择如何对待自己的生活,也无论你将自己的激情燃烧在哪里。
I urge you to take the power you have been given and use it for good. Aspire to leave this world better than you found it.
我希望大家能好好利用自己的力量,这个世界远远要比你想象得更美好。
I didn’t always see life as clearly as I do now. But I’ve learned the greatest challenge of life is knowing when to break with conventional wisdom.
其实我也并非总是能够清晰的看清自己,但我明白,人生最大的挑战就是拥有知道何时打破传统的智慧与勇气。
Don’t just accept the world you inherit today. Don’t just accept the status quo.
不要只是一昧的接受今天你所生活的世界,不要安于现状。
No big challenge has ever been solved, and no lasting improvement has ever been achieved, unless people dare to try something different. Dare to think different.
没有任何重大挑战得到解决,也没有取得任何持久的改善,除非人们敢于尝试不同的东西。敢于“不同凡想”。
Maybe you’re thinking about the job you hope to get, or wondering where you’re going to live, or how to repay that student loan. These, I know, are real concerns. I had them, too. But don’t let those worries stop you from making a difference.
也许,你们在考虑希望得到的工作,或者想知道自己将住在哪里,或者如何偿还学生贷款。我知道,这些都是真正担忧的事情。我也遇到这些事情。但是,不要让这些担忧阻止你们做出改变。
Fearlessness means taking the first step, even if you don’t know where it will take you. It means being driven by a higher purpose, rather than by applause. It means knowing that you reveal your character when you stand apart, more than when you stand with the crowd.
无畏意味着勇敢迈出第一步,即使你不知道它会将你带往何处。也许驱使你的是更崇高的目标、也许是周围人的目光。当你独自一人的时候,才会看到自己真正的问题,而不是与大家站在一起的时候。
If you step up, without fear of failure… if you talk and listen to each other, without fear of rejection… if you act with decency and kindness, even when no one is looking, even if it seems small or inconsequential, trust me, the rest will fall into place.
如果勇敢站起来,就不要担心失败。要勇于与别人交流,不要害怕被拒绝。如果你内心深处拥有善良与正直,那么就算暂时没有人了解你、就算现在你无关紧要,相信我,属于你的时代早晚都会到来。
More importantly, you’ll be able to tackle the big things when they come your way. It’s in those truly trying moments that the fearless inspire us.
更重要的是,当你的时代来临时,就能找到解决问题的方法。在一次又一次的尝试中,正是无所畏惧的精神激励着我们。
Be fearless.
你们要无所畏惧!
Be the last people to accept things as they are, and the first people to stand up and change them for the better.
要成为最后一个放弃的人,也要成为第一个为更好的生活奋斗而站出来的人。
