【听力】苹果CEO库克2018年杜克大学毕业典礼演讲

I’ve learned the greatest challenge of life is knowing when to break with conventional wisdom.

Don’t just accept the world you inherit today. Don’t just accept the status quo. No big challenge has ever been solved and no lasting improvement has ever been achieved unless people dare to try something different, dare to think different.

Whatever path you’ve chosen, be it medicine or business, engineering or the humanities, whatever drives your passion, be the last to accept the notion that the world you inherit cannot be improved.

It will require great courage. But that courage will not only help you live your life to the fullest, it will empower you to transform the lives of others.

Now, if you are anything like I was on graduation day, maybe you are not feeling so fearless. Maybe you are thinking about the job you hope to get or wondering where you are going to live or how to repay that student loan. These I know are real concerns. I had them, too.

But don’t let those worries stop you from making a difference. Fearlessness means taking the first step, even if you don’t know where it will take you. It means being driven by a higher purpose rather than by applause.

If you step up without fear of failure, if you talk and listen to each other without fear of rejection, if you act with decency and kindness even when no one is looking, even if it seems small or inconsequential, trust me, the rest will fall into place. More importantly, you’ll be able to tackle the big things when they come your way
