【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
er of us was all that didn’t want to be up in some tall office building writing legal memos … I wanted to be down on the ground, helping the folks I grew up 。我不想在高大的辦公樓里,撰寫那些法律備忘錄,我想去外面幫助那些和我一起長大的人們,I was living the dream — but it wasn’t my Craig felt the same eventually we quit those corporate ,而克雷格也有和我一樣感到困惑,因此我們最終辭掉了原公司的工作。I went to work in the Mayor’s office … Craig got a job coaching basketball … and we both took salary cuts that made our mother we were excited about our new ,而克雷格找到了一個籃球教練的工作。我們的薪水都大不如前,連母親都感到心疼。但是我們對于各自的新事業(yè)感到興奮不已Y:cringe 畏懼,退縮We looked forward to going to work every we both realized that success isn’t about how your life looks to others … it’s about how it feels to ,而且我們都意識到,成功并不在于你的生命在別人眼中是怎樣的,它在于你對它的感受。We realized that being successful isn’t about being impressive … it’s about being ,而是在于獲得激勵與鼓舞That’s what it means to be true to means looking inside yourself and being honest about what you truly enjoy ,就是要看到自己的內(nèi)心,坦誠面對自己真心想做的事情。Because graduates, I can promise you that you’ll never be happy plodding through someone else’s idea of ,當(dāng)你們按照別人對成功的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去做事的時候,你們絕不會感到快樂的。Y:plod thru 辛勤工作 Success is only meaningful — and enjoyable — if it feels like your of course, a successful career alone doesn’t necessarily make for a rich 。當(dāng)然只是事業(yè)上的成功,未必會讓生命變得充實,As you’ve all learned from the friends you’ve made and the relationships you’ve formed here at OSU, what truly makes life rich are the people you share it ,你們都學(xué)到的是,真正讓生命充實起來的,是那些和你一同分享它的人。And that brings me to the final lesson I want to offer today — and that is, whatever you do, don’t leave behind any unfinished business with the people you ,那就是無論你們的去向那里,無論你們做什么,不要將你所愛之人拋在腦后。My dad died of plications from his MS when I was in my ,我們的爸爸就因多樣硬化的并發(fā)癥而逝去。And for months, I felt like I couldn’t ,我有幾個月的時間感到自己無法呼吸,I had this physical sense of grief, this emptiness in my life that I just couldn’t as hard as it was to lose him, and as much as I still miss him, I knew that I’d never missed a chance to tell my Dad I loved him … and he’d always done the same for ,生命中的這種空虛感我無法將它填平。然而就像失去父親的悲痛之情一樣,每天我都是那樣的思念著他,我知道自己一直都有機(jī)會對爸爸說我愛他。而他對我也是如此And whenever Craig and I saw him struggling to walk … and we worried that life was getting too hard for him … my Mom would always reassure us that he was so proud to be our father that he felt like the luckiest guy ever to walk the ,我們會為他的艱難命運(yùn)而擔(dān)憂。媽媽總是安慰我們,他為我們而深感驕傲,為身為人父而倍感自豪。他覺得自己是世界上最幸運(yùn)的人All of that gave me a sense of peace — a sense that I had no unfinished business with my ,讓我感覺自己對父親沒有遺憾 And that’s what allowed me to move So graduates, as you make your way in the world, I urge you not to leave behind any unfinished ,我希望你們不要留有任何的遺憾。If you’re in a fight with someone, make you’re holding a grudge, let it you hurt someone, you love someone, let them !如果你心存怨恨那就釋然吧!如果你愛某人那就說出來吧!And don’t just tell people that you love them, show that means showing means being truly present in the lives of the people you care !就是要敞開心扉,要真心坦誠,真心對待那些你所關(guān)心的人?!癓iking” them on Facebook does not count … nor does following them on “贊”這可不算數(shù)哦!也不是只在twiter網(wǎng)上關(guān)注對方就行的哦!What counts is making the time to be there, in I can promise you that years from now, you won’t remember the texts you exchanged with your friends here at 。因為我敢保證若干年后,你們絕對不會記得,曾經(jīng)給這里的好友發(fā)的信息是什么內(nèi)容。But you’ll remember how they cheered you on at your ’ll remember how they brought you chocolate and spent hours forting you when your boyfriend dumped ,你會記得在你被男友甩了以后,為你拿來巧克力并花幾個小時的時間安慰你“那些個混蛋” You’ll remember all the hours they spent diligently studying with you in the last one was for your ,這個是說給家長聽的哦!But seriously, those are the memories that you’ll carry with you for the rest of your are the experiences that make you who you ,都將令你們今生難忘。這些經(jīng)歷讓你們成就自我,And that is as true for me today as it was back when Craig and I were growing up in that little apartment in ,我與克雷格在芝加哥的那間小公寓時的時光,You see, when I e out here to Corvallis and visit my family, I’m not the First ’m Coach Robinson’s little ’m “Miche” to Craig and to my niece and ,我不再是第一夫人,我是羅賓遜教練的妹妹,我是克雷格身邊的小八哥,也是侄女侄子的嘮叨姑姑。I sleep on the pullout couch in Craig’s guest room … and my daughters pile into the living room with their cousins for a ,我的女兒們擠在了臥室,和她的表兄妹們徹夜狂歡。It reminds me of old times, with everyone huddled together in the kitchen, laughing, teasing, driving each other crazy, telling stories late into the ,所有人都擠在廚房里面,有說有笑逗得對方忍俊不禁,把故事一直講到深夜,就像我們很小的時候一樣。And just like when we were little, Craig and I feel very, very ,因此同學(xué)們這就是我今天對你們的祝愿。And graduates, that is my wish for all of you wish for you a life rich in all the things that wish for you work that inspires you … experiences that help you learn and grow … and people who love you and support you every step of the ,我祝愿你們都能找到心儀的工作;我祝愿你們,這些經(jīng)驗?zāi)軌蛴兄谀銈兊某砷L;我祝愿你們與那些愛著你們并始終支持你們的人同在。Congratulations again on all that you have you, and God
