So, she never wants anyone whoamp。Ohmigod, thatamp。 Because a lot ofpeople know Gayle King as my BFF [best friend forever]. 正如你們知道的那樣Kirby是一個非常聰明的女孩。他們說:”。quot。39。39。quot。quot。我的天啊,那是Gayle King嗎?”。然后人們說:”。有點吧。Sort of? You sort of know me?amp。m so happy to be here, just happy that I finally, after four years, get tosee her room. Thereamp。d rather be, because Iamp。s how well I know her. I can call her Cakes. 我說:”。我可以把Kirby 和我騎馬時的照片給你們。這就是我多么的了解她。sasked me in the past couple of weeks what I was doing, I would say, amp。m getting ready to go toStanford.amp。但是在過去的幾周里,每當人們問我在做什么時,我都會說:”。Stanford.amp。cause I didnamp。m just going to forget it, amp。m not going tomarch with my class. Because by that point, I was already on television. Iamp。clock curfew doing the 10 oamp。我去了Tennessee 州立大學。因為我已經(jīng)上了電視。quot。39。39。quot。amp。t know what youamp。 And Iamp。But, Dad, I have my own television show.amp。11點之前到家。所以我想,我不能讓關(guān)于我大學的那件事就這么過去,我還少一個學分?!?。 And heamp。Well, I still donamp。re going to do without that degree.amp。d say, amp。m a talk show host.amp。d say, amp。t know how youamp。 他說:”。但是,爸爸,現(xiàn)在我已經(jīng)是脫口秀的主持人了”。 So, in 1987, Tennessee State University invited me back to speak at their mencement. Bythen, I had my own show, was nationally syndicated. Iamp。s still saying Iamp。我制作了一部電影,并被奧斯卡提名,而且成立了我自己的公司Harpo。從此我知道,無論什么事發(fā)生,那一個學分是我的救世主 But I also know why my dad was insisting on that diploma, because, as B. B. King put it, amp。 And learning isreally in the broadest sense what I want to talk about today, because your education, of course,isnamp。s only just begun. 但是我知道為什么我爸爸總是堅持讓我獲得文憑,因為,正如B. B. King所說:”。 The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a schooland our life the classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons oftene dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as fullblown crises. And the secretIamp。有時這些課程會是彎路和障礙。39。39。不斷自我提高,去追求人生的更高境界,去追求更高級別的憐憫和自我提高。quot。39。很多年以后我們又見面了。”。39。我堅信你們會從每一件做過的事上學到經(jīng)驗,這樣你們就會取得進步。 So, today, I just want to share a few lessons。ve learned in my journeyso far. And arenamp。t you hate it when somebody says, amp。m going to share a few,amp。s 10 lessons later? And, youamp。Listen, this is my graduation. This is not about you.amp。s only going to be three. 今天我想和大家分享我人生的三個經(jīng)驗。你們肯定在想:”。 A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to coanchor the 6 oamp。clock news coanchor job at 22 was such a big deal. It felt like the biggest deal in theworld at the time. 當我離開大學一年后,在Baltimore我得到了一個共同主持6點新聞的機會。39。quot。39。39。quot。我遇到了在電視臺做實習生的Gayle,我們立刻成了好朋友。想象一下吧,當你40歲時你每年就會掙40,000美元”。 So, here I am, 22, making $22,000 a year and, yet, it didnamp。t feel right. Thefirst sign, as President Hennessy was saying, was when they tried to change my name. Thenews director said to me at the time, amp。s going to remember Oprah. So, we want tochange your name. Weamp。s a friendly name: Suzie.amp。那時導演對我說:”。Suzie。t be angry with Suzie. Remember Suzie. But my name wasnamp。d grown up not really loving my name, because when youamp。re never going to findOprah. Suzie,一個很友善的名字。你們可以看到,自小我就不怎么喜歡我的名字。t feel right. Iamp。s OK. 我從小就不怎么喜歡我的名字,但是當我被告知去改名字時,我想,好吧,那時我的名字,但是Suzie真的適合我嗎?因此我想,它并不適合我。39。39。quot。quot。39??墒悄菚r他們還是說:”。于是他們把我送到沙龍,給我燙了發(fā)。因為作為一個光頭黑人坐在攝影機前,我肯定不漂亮的。我深知我期待去觀察,我的內(nèi)心告訴我,我應該做些什么了。d cover a fire and then Iamp。d try to give thevictims blankets. And I wouldnamp。 And, meanwhile, I was trying to sit gracefully like Barbara and make myself talk like I thought, well, I could make a pretty goofy Barbara. And if I could figure out how to bemyself, I could be a pretty good Oprah. I was trying to sound elegant like Barbara. Andsometimes I didnamp。t read my copy and it would be, like, six people on a pileup on I40. Oh, my goodness. 與此同時我盡量表現(xiàn)的優(yōu)雅一些,使我更像Barbara。有時我并不讀我的稿件,因為我的內(nèi)心告訴我這是不自主的。 And sometimes I wouldnamp。and Iamp。t know and Iamp。ca nada.amp。s not going too well. I should trybeing myself. 有時出于內(nèi)心的本能,我不會去播報一些新聞。我應該做回我自己。quot。39。這是你一生的機會。這是晚間新聞。 So, I was juggling these messages of expectation and obligation and feeling reallymiserable with myself. Iamp。cause Iamp。39。39。我晚上回到家后,我會記錄下我是多么的不幸和沮喪。39。39。從我開始主持那檔節(jié)目的一刻開始,我感覺好像回到了家一樣。這就是我工作的真正開始。39。當你做的是一份你喜歡的工作時,那感覺棒極了。s true. And how do you know when youamp。resupposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance systemlets you know. The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gutinstead. Every right decision Iamp。39。ve ever made was a result of me not listening to thegreater voice of myself. 這是真的。我所做過的所有正確選擇都是源自我內(nèi)心的。t feel right, donamp。s the lesson. And that lesson alone will save you, myfriends, a lot of grief. Even doubt means donamp。ve learned. There are many timeswhen you donamp。t know what to do, get still, get very still, untilyou do know what to do. 如果感覺不好,就不要去做。這就是我所學到的。re entering a whole newage. And he calls it the Conceptual Age, where traits that set people apart today are going toe from our hearts。s no longer just the logical, linear,rulesbased thinking that matters, he says. Itamp。正如Daniel Pink在他的暢銷書A Whole New Mind中所說的那樣,我們進入了一個新時代,一個他稱之為概念時代的時代。 These qualities bloom when weamp。re involving the wholeness ofourselves in our work, both our expertise and our emotion. 當我們做自己喜歡的事時,當我們?nèi)硇牡耐度氲焦ぷ髦袝r,這些特質(zhì)就會煥發(fā)生機。每一個人都會有的。s pretty nice. Iamp。s not about money, amp。s goodfor buying things. 那么我是如何定義成功的呢?讓我告訴你,錢很美好。 But having a lot of money does not automatically make you a successful person. What youwant is money and meaning. You want your work to be meaningful. Because meaning is whatbrings the real richness to your life. What you really want is to be surrounded by people youtrust and treasure and by people who cherish you. Thatamp。re really , lessonone, follow your feelings. If it feels right, move forward. If it doesnamp。t do it. 但是擁有很多錢并不能使你自然而然的成為一個成功者。你所希望得到的是被信任你珍視你的人包圍。如果感覺不對,就不要做了。as you will。39。39。or
