奥普拉.温弗瑞在斯坦福大学做演讲
Feelings, Failure and Finding Happiness
感觉、失败及寻找幸福
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school and our life the classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as full-blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest university of all, that is, the universe itself. It's being able to walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that's really why we're here, to evolve as human beings. To grow into more of ourselves, always moving to the next level of understanding, the next level of compassion and growth.
这个世界将教会你们很多。我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一所学校，而我们的人生就像是教室。在世界这所大学里，有些课程会是人生的弯路或障碍，有些课程则充满危机。而我所学到的应对这一切的私、诀就是：勇于面对一切挫折与危机，世界本身就是世上最好的大学。在人生的旅途中，妥对生活充满激情，并不断提高自我，这就是进化为人类并存在于世的意义。不断提升自我，去追求人生的更高境界，去追求更高级别的怜悯和自我提高。
I think about one of the greatest compliments I've ever received: I interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago. And then many years later, I saw the same reporter. And she said to me, "You know what? You really haven't changed. You've just become more of yourself."
我记得我所受到的最高的赞扬之一。刚在芝加哥开始工作时，我采访了一个记者。很多年以后我们又见面了。她对我说：“你知道吗?你一点也没有变，你变得更自我了。”
And that is really what we're all trying to do, become more of ourselves. And I believe that there's a lesson in almost everything that you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It's how you enrich your spirit. And, trust me, I know that inner wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
这就是我们一直努力在傲的，去做我们自己。我坚信你们会从自己做过的每一件事情上学到经验，这样你们才能取得进步。也只有这样你们的心灵才能更加丰富。相信我，内在的智慧比外在的财富更加珍贵。你运用智慧越多，你得到的也会越多。
