【正文】 ed states senatewhich was such
an enormous decision to make, one i never could have dreamed that i would have been
making when i washere on campusi visited a school in new york city and i met a young woman, who
was a star athlete. and it doesn’t mean that once having made that choice you will always succeed.
in fact, you won’t. there are setbacks and you will experience difficult
disappointments. you will be slowed down and sometimes the breath will just be knocked
out of you. but if you carry with you the values and beliefs that you can make a
difference in your own life, first and foremost, and then in the lives of others.
you can get back up, you can keep going. but it is also important, as i have found, not to take yourself too seriously,
because after all, every one of us here today, none of us is deserving of full credit.
i think every day of the blessings my birth gave me without any doing of my own. i
chose neither my family nor my country, but they as much as anything i’ve ever done,
determined my course. you have been there trying to serve because you have believed both that it was
the right thing to do and because it gave something back to you. you have dared to
, dare to care to fight for equal justice for all, for equal pay for women,
against hate crimes and bigotry. dare to care about public schools without qualified
teachers or adequate resources. dare to care about protecting our environment. dare
to care about the 10 million children in our country who lack health insurance. dare
to care about the one and a half million children who have a parent in jail. the seven
million people who suffer from hiv/aids. and thank you for caring enough to demand
that our nation do more to help those that are suffering throughout this world with
hiv/aids, to prevent this pandemic from spreading even further. and so bring your values and experiences and insights into politics. dare to help
make, not just a difference in politics, but create a different politics. some have
called you the generation of choice. you’ve been raised with multiple choice tests,
multiple channels, multiple websites and multiple lifestyles. you’ve grown up
choosing among alternatives that were either not imagined, created or available to
people in prior generations. you’ve been invested with far more personal power to customize your life, to
make more free choices about how to live than was ever thought possible. and i think
as i look at all the surveys and research that is done, your choices reflect not only
freedom, but personal responsibility. the social indicators, not the headlines, the social indicators tell a positive
story: drug use and cheating and arrests being down, been pregnancy and suicides,
drunk driving deaths being is not the vast conspiracy you may have heard about。此外，在每一篇文章之后，都附有提煉出的演講中具有指引性、勵(lì)志性的“經(jīng)典語(yǔ)錄”，

conspiracy of cynicism and indifference and alienation that we see every day, in our
popular culture and in our prodigious as many have said before and as vaclav havel has said to memorably, “it cannot
suffice just to invent new machines, new regulations and new institutions. it is
necessary to understand differently and more perfectly the true purpose of our
existence on this earth and of our deeds.” and i think we are called on to reject,
in this time of blessings that we enjoy, those who will tear us apart and tear us
down and instead to liberate our godgiven spirit, by being willing to dare to dream
of a better world. during my campaign, when times were tough and days were long i used to think about
