1、Im sorry Mr. Headmaster, let me tell you why that approach may fail you. 不好意思，校长先生，我想告诉您不是这样的。I know people who graduated at 21 and didnt get a job until they were 27. I know people who graduated late at 25 and they found work immediately. I know people who never went to university, but found what t
2、hey love at 18. I know people who found a job straight out of college making decent money, but hate what they do. I know people who took gap years and found their purpose.有的人 21 岁毕业，到了 27 岁 才找到工作。有的人 25 岁才 毕业，但马上就找到了工作。有的人没上过大学，却在 18 岁就找到了 热爱的事。有的人一 毕业 就找到了好工作，赚很多钱，却过的不开心。有的人选择间隔年去 寻找自我。I know peopl
3、e who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, they change their mind at 26. I know people who have children but are single, and I know people who are married but had to wait 8 to 10 years to have children. I know people in relationships who love someone else. I know people who love each
4、 other but arent together.有的人在 16 岁就清楚自己需要什么，但在 26 岁时改变了想法。有的人有了孩子，却 还是单身。有的人结了婚，却等了 10 年才生孩子。有的人身处一段感情，爱的却是别人。有的人明明彼此相爱，却没有在一起。So my point is everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. You may look at some of your friends and think that theyre ahead of you, maybe some of them you
5、feel are behind, but everything happens at their own pace. They have their own time and clock and so do you. Be patient.我想说的是人生中每一件事都取决于我们的时间，你身 边 有些朋友也许遥遥领先于你，有些朋友也许落后于你，但凡事都有它自己的节奏，他 们有他们 的节奏，你有你自己的，耐心一点。At age 25, Mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas. It took till 32 for J.K. Rowling to be publis
6、hed for Harry Potter after being rejected by 12 publishers. Ortega launched Zara when he was 39. Jack Ma started Alibaba when he was 35. Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52. Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old. Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.库班 25 岁的时候还在酒吧做酒保。在被拒 12 次后
7、， JK 罗琳到 32 岁才出版了哈利波特。奥特加到 39 岁才创办了 Zara。马云 35 岁才建立了阿里巴巴。摩根弗里曼到 52 岁才迎来他演艺事业的巅峰。史蒂夫卡瑞尔 40 岁才红。理查德 布兰森 34 岁才创办维珍航空。Getting your degree after 25 is still an achievement. Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible, and buying a house after 40 is s
8、till great. Dont let anyone rush you with their timelines. Because as Einstein said, “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything thats counted truly counts.”25 岁拿到文凭，依然值得骄傲。30 岁没结婚，但过的快乐也是一种成功。35 岁之后成家也完全可以。40 岁买房也没什么丢脸 的。不要 让任何人扰乱你的 时间表。因为爱因斯坦曾经说过：并不是每一件重要的事都能够被计算出来，也不是每一件计算出来的事真
9、的都那么重要。And this is the most important thing, I want you to be able to create meaningful, purposeful, fulfilling lives for yourselves, and learn how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others. That, will be true success.这才是最重要的事，我希望你 们可以创造属于自己的充满 意义的人生。学会用 这些去影响点亮别人的生活，这才是真正的成功。
