74. Stay True to Yourself

74. 做真正的自己

But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure; to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person; to contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your Passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

但今日我對成功的定義變了，當你長大，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這點。對你們中的很多人來說，成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒。對我來說，生命中最重妥的事是:活得誠實!別屈從于同伴的壓力，把自己變成本不是的那個人。要活得真誠，有憐憫之心，在某些方面有所貢獻。這是結論的結論，追隨熱情，忠于自我。絕不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷了路才要這么做。那時你真的該那樣做。別給人忠告，它們會給你帶來麻煩。也別接受任何人的忠告。那么，我要給大家的忠告是，做真正的自己，一切都會順利的。

And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sea level?". So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time.

我知道在莊很多人都在擔心自己的前途，但不用擔心，經濟正急速增長，就業(yè)市場求才若J蜀，地球也好得很。一切都會好的，你們都經歷過風災了，還有什么可怕的?如我以前所說的:從最慘痛的經歷中可以吸收最多的教訓?，F(xiàn)在你們知道在你們的第一場面試中該問什么樣的問題了吧?比如，公司高于海平面嗎?總結我之前的結論，我的"常見的水泥"演講，我想說的是，人生就像一場狂歡節(jié)嘉年華，但請展現(xiàn)你們的頭腦，而非胸部，如果人家欣賞的話你就有更多的金銀珠寶可以使用，而且在大多時間你都會醉。
