Speeches in universities have become outlets for sharing some of the most important life lessons ever. You’ll probably recognize most of the speakers, who are prominent people in their fields – people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Obama, Michelle, Randy Pausch, JK Rowling, and so on. I think the schools couldn’t have picked better speakers than them, because the most important inspiration anyone can ever get is someone who is living by example. Today I want to share three inspiring and powerful speeches for you and all of you can enjoy the rich insights of the speakers.
1) Steve Jobs, Stanford University, 2005
记住：你即将死去！是我知道的让你避免陷入患得患失陷阱的最好方式！你已经赤身裸体了！没有理由不追随你的内心！
Your time is limited, sodon’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which isliving with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise ofothers’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have thecourage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what youtruly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
你们的时间很有限，所以不要将他们浪费在重复其他人的生活上。不要被教条束缚，那意味着你和其他人思考的结果一起生活。不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音。还有最重要的是，你要有勇气去听从你直觉和心灵的指示——它们在某种程度上知道你想要成为什么样子，所有其他的事情都是次要的。
2) Barack Obama, Wakefield High School, 2009
Where you are right now doesn’t have to determinewhere you’ll end up.
你的未来，并不取决于你现在的生活有多好或多坏。
whateveryou resolve to do, I want you to commit to it.
不管你决定做什么，我都希望你能坚持到底。
These people succeeded because they understood that you can’t let your failuresdefine you -- you have to let your failures teach you.
他们的成功，源于他们明白人不能让失败左右自己——而是要从中吸取经验。
3) Michelle Obama, Stanford Center at Peking University, 2014
It's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.
读万卷书不如行万里路。
we believe that relationships between nations aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders -- they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people.
我们相信，国与国之间的关系不只是政府或领导人之间的关系，它们是人民间—特别是年轻人之间的关系。
