这是欧巴马在全美一千所高中参加的"毕业典礼比赛"中. 最後胜出的马祖中央高中毕业典礼的致辞. 其中报纸摘录的格言佳句. Understand that your success in life won’t be determined just by what’s given to you, or what happens to you, but by what you do with all of that – by how hard you try; how far you push yourself; how high you’re willing to reach. 各位必须了解人生的成功不光取决於资源或际遇，而是看你如何运用资源和际遇，看你有 多努力尝试，多积极进取，多力争上游。 Meaningful achievement, lasting success – that doesn’t happen in an instant. It’s not about luck or sudden stroke of genius. Rather, it’s about the daily efforts, the choices large and small that add up over time. It’s about the skills you build, the knowledge you accumulate, the energy you invest in every task, no matter how trivial or menial it may seem at that time. 重大的成就，持久的成功，无法一蹴可就。非关鸿运当头或神来一笔。而是日积月累的努 力，大大小小的抉择。关键在於你发展的技能，累积的知识，每件任务所投注的心力，无 论在当下看起来有多麽琐碎或卑微。 题外话. 这篇报导写得也不错. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 真的觉得殴巴马是个非常厉害的人. 他彻底让人感受到英文如此精简却可以传递深邃而具有意义的美感. 言词犀利却又不失幽默. 我不知道他是否是一个好的政治家. 但我深信他一定是一个好的文学作者以及演说家. --
