节录Jeff Bezos於2011年在母校普林斯顿大学所进行的毕业演讲 十分有感触而且意味深远，在这里分享给大家。 ------------------------------------------- Tomorrow, in a very real sense, your life -- the life you author from scratch on your own -- bingins. How will you use your gifts? What choices will you make? Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions? Will you follow dogma, or will you be original? Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure? Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions? Will you bluff it out when you're wrong, or will you apologize? Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love? Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling? When it's tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless? Will you be cynic, or will you be a builder? Will you be cleverat expense of others, or will you be kind? I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal vision of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story. Thank you and good luck! -------------------------------------------------------------- 明天，完全由你们所撰写的崭新人生新页，真的要开始了。 你将如何发挥你的天赋？你会做甚麽样的选择？ 你会照习惯行事，还是你将追求热情？ 你会墨守陈规，还是选择创新独特？ 你会选择安逸的生活，还是选择奉献与冒险的人生？ 当你碰到批评时会畏缩屈从，还是坚持自己的信念？ 在你犯错时，你会哄骗掩饰，还是坦诚地道歉？ 你会因为怕被拒绝而不敢敞开心房，或是愿意坠入爱河？ 你会选择打安全牌，还是会浪漫一点，超过冒险的极限？ 遇到困难时，你会放弃，还是不顾一切继续前行？ 你会当个愤世忌俗的批评者，还是个务实的实践者？ 你会为了展现自己的聪明才智而伤害他人，还是选择仁慈？ 我敢说，当你们80岁的时候，静静地回想且在心里对自己说这一生的真实故事时，其中最为鲜明而有意义的将会是你们所做的一连串选择。人生就是由许多的选择所创造的。为自己创造一个伟大的人生故事吧，祝你们好运! --
