At least let some of them into your lives. Giving lifts the heart in a way that getting never can. Maybe it really was Oscar Wilde who said: "No one ever died, saying if only I had one more day at the office."
至少要让其中的一部分理想融入你们的生活。给予可以提升心灵，而索取在某种程度上永远不可能做到。或许真的像奥斯卡·王尔德所说的那样：“渴望再多工作一天的人就不会死去。”
One small but shocking sentence: each year three million children die in Africa from preventable disease or conflict.
有一句虽简短却很震撼的话：非洲每天有300万儿童死于可预防性疾病和暴力冲突。
The key word? Preventable.
关键词是什么呢？是“可预防的”。
When all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.
当谈及言出必行时，人们通常都是说得多做得少。
Be a doer not a commentator. Seek responsibility rather than shirk it. People often ask me about leadership, I say: leadership is about wanting the responsibility to be on your shoulders, not ignoring its weight but knowing someone has to carry it and, reaching out for that person to be you. Leaders are heat-seekers not heat-deflectors.
要做一个实干家而不是评论家。要勇于承担责任，不要逃避退缩。人们经常问我关于领导力的事情，我说，领导力就是想要肩负责任，而不是忽视责任之重；领导力就是知道必须有人站出来承担责任，而且要努力成为那个人。领导者是勇于承担责任而非逃避责任的人。
And luck?
那运气呢？
You have all the luck you need. You are here, at Yale, and what - apart from the hats - could be better?
你们具备成功所需的一切运气。你们在耶鲁学习生活——还有什么比拥有耶鲁大学的桂冠更幸运的呢？
You have something else: your parents.
你们还拥有其他的，比如你们的父母。
When you are your age, you can never imagine being our age. But believe me, when you're our age we remember clearly being your age. That's why I am so careful about young men and my daughter, "Don't tell me what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking."
你们在这个年龄的时候很难想象我们这个年龄的人的状况。但请相信我，当你们像我这么大时，我还能清楚记得我们在你们这个年龄所经历的事情。这就是我如此关心年轻人和我的女儿的原因，“不要告诉我你们在想什么，我知道你们在想什么。”
