49. Cherishing What You Have Now, and Striving for the Future (I)

49. 珍惜現(xiàn)在，把握未來(1)

So to you as individuals, what wisdom, have I learnt.

那么，你們作為個(gè)人，又學(xué)到了什么樣的智慧呢?

First, in fact, keep learning. Always to be alive to the possibilities of the next experience, of thinking, doing and being.

事實(shí)上，首先就是要不斷學(xué)習(xí)。要時(shí)刻準(zhǔn)備迎接新的生活、不斷思考、積極行動(dòng)。

When Buddha was asked, near the end of his life, to describe his secret, he answered bluntly: "I'm awake."

佛陀臨終前，人們要求他講述成為圣人的秘訣，他坦率地說：“因?yàn)槲翌^腦清醒”。

so be awake. Understand conventional wisdom, but be prepared to change it.

所以，要保持頭腦清醒。要了解傳統(tǒng)的智慧，但要準(zhǔn)備改變它。

Feel as well as analyze; use your instinct alongside your reason. Calculate too much and you will miscalculate.

不僅要學(xué)會(huì)分析，還妥學(xué)著用心感受。直覺與推理并存，因?yàn)樗阌?jì)太多難免會(huì)出錯(cuò)。

Be prepared to fail as well as to succeed, realise it is failure not success that defines character.

不僅要接受成功，也要準(zhǔn)備經(jīng)歷失敗。因?yàn)槭鞘《浅晒λ茉炝诵愿瘛?/p>

Be good to people on your way up because you never know if you will meet them again on your way down.

當(dāng)你事業(yè)順利的時(shí)候妥善待他人，因?yàn)槟阌肋h(yuǎn)不會(huì)知道，你遭遇挫折的時(shí)候是否會(huì)遇到他們。

Judge someone by how they treat those below them not those above them.

評(píng)價(jià)一個(gè)人，要看他們?cè)鯓訉?duì)待比自己地位低的人，而不是看他們?cè)鯓訉?duì)待地位比自己高的人。

Be a firm friend not a fair-weather friend. It is your friendships, including those friends you made here at Yale, at this time, that sustain and enrich the human spirit.

要做一個(gè)可靠的朋友，而不是靠不住的酒肉朋友。是友誼，包括現(xiàn)在你們?cè)谝敶髮W(xué)結(jié)交的朋友之間的友誼，維持并豐富著人類精神。
