“If I could tell the world just one thing

“假如我只能向这个世界讲一件事

It would be

那会是

We’re all okay,

我们都很好

And not to worry

且不用担心

Cause worry is wasteful

因为，在这个时候担忧即奢侈

And useless in times like these.”

又一无是处。”

The Most Important Lesson I Have Ever Learned

我从未学到的最重要的教训

The single most important lesson I’ve ever learned is this…

我从未学到的一条最重要的教训是：

“Have faith that your efforts will be rewarded.”

“相信你的付出会得到回报。”

That’s it.  Now that may sound like a productivity lesson, but to me it’s really a recipe for happiness and success.

就是这个了。这听上去也许像一堂创造性课程，但对我来说这确实是通向幸福和成功的秘诀。

Have faith in meritocracy, that you efforts will be rewarded.

对学术名流要有信心：你的付出会得到回报。

Have faith in people, that your efforts will be rewarded.

对人们要有信心：你的付出会得到回报。

Have faith in justice, that your efforts will be rewarded.

对正义要有信心：你的付出会得到回报。

Have faith in karma, that your efforts will be rewarded.

对业力要有信心：你的付出会得到回报。（译者按：karma【宗】羯磨〔梵文译音〕；业(佛教名词)；因果报应）

To me, this isn’t some rose colored, idealistic view of the world.  I believe that it is this attitude that is at the foundation of every positive thing I have ever done in my life, and of every positive thing that has happened in my life. Success, luck, love, connection, it all comes back to this simple lesson -

对我来说，这并不是什么乐观的以及理想的世界观。我相信这种态度是我此生从未做的每一件积极的事情以及每一件发生在我身上的积极的事情的根基。成功、幸运、爱、社会关系，所以这一切都回归到了这个简单的教训-------

Have faith that your efforts will be rewarded.

相信你的付出会得到回报。

Go Forth

出发

And with that lesson, with that mindset, as your go forth on your life journey

当你开始人生的旅途时，带着那个教训，带着那种心态。

Do the things you’ve always wanted to do.

做那些你总渴望去做的事。

Say the things you’ve always wanted to say.

说那些你总想要说的话。

Be who you’ve always wanted to be .

成为你心目中的那个自己。

Live the way you’ve always wanted to live

以你最向往的方式生活。

And above all, when you are discouraged, when you are down, always remember to have faith that your efforts will be rewarded.

而且最重要的是：当你泄气时，当你失落时，总要记得对“你的付出会得到回报”要有信心。

That’s the most important lesson I’ve learned, and all I have to share with you today.

这就是我学到的最重要的教训，也是我今天想要和你们分享的全部。

“Fare forward, voyagers.”

“全速前进，水手们。”
