名校勵(lì)志英語演講 第90期:如何實(shí)現(xiàn)你的夢想

[00:00.01]Whatever happens happens now, so live your life where the action is — now. And one more thing: 不管發(fā)生什么事情，都只是發(fā)生在現(xiàn)在，所以要活在現(xiàn)在。 [00:08.54]If you're going to be on television, don't call your friends and tell them to watch until after you've seen it. 我還要告訴你們一件事情，如果你將要錄制節(jié)目，在你看到這個(gè)電視節(jié)目前不要打電話告訴你的朋友。 [00:15.04]Don't do anything that 30 years from now you'll look back at and say, "Oh, my God, why the hell did I do that?!" 第二，不要做任何會讓你在30年后回顧時(shí)說：“哦，我的天吶，我到底為什么會干出這種事情？”的事情。 [00:29.04]I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard someone start a sentence with, "If only, when I was younger, I would have...." 每次有人以這樣的句子開頭:“要是...多好，當(dāng)我年輕的時(shí)候...，我們應(yīng)該...”，我都希望能有5美元可以賞給他們。 [00:36.56]So I did a little informal survey for you, and I found out that, amazingly, all these people had the same regret. 所以我為你們做了一點(diǎn)非正式的調(diào)查，并且發(fā)現(xiàn)，所有的這些人都有著同樣的遺憾。 [00:45.28]When they graduated from college, sadly, they bought furniture. 悲哀的是，當(dāng)他們從大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時(shí)候，他們都買了家具。 [00:50.17]This probably needs a little explanation. 這個(gè)可能需要稍作解釋。 [00:54.28]Right at this moment in your life, you are in a unique position that you may never ever be in again. 在你人生的這個(gè)時(shí)候，你處在一個(gè)對你來說也許是絕無僅有的獨(dú)特位置。你沒什么可以失去。 [01:01.34]You have nothing to lose. Everything you have acquired of value is locked inside you. 你獲得的所有有價(jià)值的東西都僅僅鎖在你的內(nèi)心。 [01:07.46]If you have a dream, now is the time to pursue it, before you buy furniture. 如果你擁有夢想，現(xiàn)在就去追隨夢想的時(shí)刻，在買家具之前先去實(shí)現(xiàn)你的夢想。 [01:13.46]I was one of the lucky ones. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with no employable skills, unless you count jury duty. 我算是一個(gè)比較幸運(yùn)的人。我從威斯康辛大學(xué)畢業(yè)卻沒有職業(yè)技能，除非你把做義務(wù)陪審員也算進(jìn)去。 [01:24.40]It meant I had to start from scratch and figure out where I fit in. 那意味著我必須白手起家并且得弄清楚我適合什么行業(yè)。 [01:29.23]I didn't have money, but I could afford to fail, and there were many failures. 我沒有錢，但我可以承受失敗，而且失敗過很多次。 [01:36.31]But I found out what I was good at. I found something I loved. And now I have furniture — lots of furniture. 但我找到了我所擅長的領(lǐng)域。我找到了我鐘愛的事業(yè)。并且現(xiàn)在我也有了家具，有很多家具。
