My third story is about death.
我的第三个故事是关于死亡的
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:
当我十七岁的时候 我读到了一句话
"If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."
如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话 那么有一天你会发现你是正确的
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
记住你即将死去 是我一生中遇到的最重要箴言 它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure,
因为几乎所有的事情 包括所有的荣誉 所有的骄傲 所有对难堪和失败的恐惧
these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
这些在死亡面前都会消失 我看到的是留下的真正重要的东西
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西 记住你即将死去 是我知道的避免这些想法的最好办法
You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
你已经赤身裸体了 你没有理由不去跟随自己的心
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.
你们的时间很有限 所以不要将他们浪费在重复其他人的生活上
Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking.
不要被教条束缚 那意味着你和其他人思考的结果一起生活
Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.
不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
还有最重要的是 你要有勇气去听从你直觉和心灵的指示
They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
它们在某种程度上知道你想要成为什么样子 所有其他的事情都是次要的
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
保持饥饿 保持愚蠢
Thank you all very much.
非常感谢你们
