Key Points
#1 But I am here to tell you today.Harvard is giving you all diplomas tomorrow. You are here for a reason. Sometimes your insecurities and your inexperience may lead you, too, to embrace other people’s expectations, standards, or values. But you can harness that inexperience to carve out your own path, one that is free of the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be, a path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons.
不過今天我在這裡是要告訴你們， 哈佛明天就要給你們畢業證書了， 你們到這裡是有原因的。 有時你的不自信和無經驗也會導致你去接受別人的期待、標準或價值，
#2 I realized that seriousness for seriousness’s sake was its own kind of trophy, and a dubious one, a pose I sought to counter some half-imagined argument about who I was.
我發現， 為了嚴肅而嚴肅， 這本身就是一種虛榮， 是一種模棱兩可， 是為了反抗我想像出的自我而採取的一種姿態。
#3 And the joy and work ethic and virtuosity we bring to the particular can impart a singular type of enjoyment to those we give to and of course, ourselves.
做某事時的快樂、敬業和爐火純青， 可以給我們服務的物件帶來一種特定的享受， 當然也讓我們自己得到享受。
#4Make use of the fact that you don't doubt yourself too much right now. As we get older, we get more realistic, and that includes about our own abilities — or lack thereof. And that realism does us no favors.
要好好利用你如今不是那麼懷疑自己這件事， 隨著年齡增長， 我們變得更加現實， 這包括對我們自己能力和缺陷的認知， 而這種現實對我們沒有好處。
#5Your inexperience is an asset, and will allow you to think in original and unconventional way. Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.
你的無經驗是種財富， 能讓你有原創和跳出常規的點子。 接受你知識上的匱乏， 把它當成財富來用。
#6 Getting out of your own concerns and caring about some else’s life for a while, remind you that you are not the central of the universe.
跳出你自己的事， 偶爾關心一下他人的生活， 這會提醒你， 你不是宇宙的中心。
#7 Grab the good people around you. Don't let them go. The biggest asset this school offers you is a group of peers that will be both your family and your school for life.
抓緊你身邊的好人， 別讓他們跑掉， 這所學校能給你們的最大財富， 就是一群將來會成為你一輩子的家人， 也是良師益友的同學。
