It is not death most people are afraid of.It is getting to the end of life, only to realize that you never truly lived.
大多数人害怕的并不是死亡,而是接近死亡的那一刻,(突然)意识到没有真正的活过。
There was a study done, a hospital study on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath. They were asked to reflect about their life’s biggest regret.Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did but the things they didn’t do.The risks they never took the dreams they didn’t pursue.
有一份调查,一个医院调查了100位生命走到尽头的老人,问题是他们这辈子最后悔的事情的什么。 几乎所有的人都回答,他们后悔的不是已经做过的事情, 而是没做过的事情。他们从来没有追逐自己的梦想。
I ask you would your last words be; if only I had – hey, you wake up.Why do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no I don’t know much. But I know this every person on this earth has a gift.
我问你的最后一句话是: (如果我可以的话) , 嘿, 醒醒吧 , 为何存在于这个世界? 生命不是简单的工作, 等着周末,付租金。 虽然我不知道的事太多了,但是我清楚,这个地球上的每一个人都有一份礼物。
And I apologized to the black community but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King.That man never had a dream, that dream had him.See people don’t choose dreams, dreams choose them. So the question I’m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you?That befit you and grips you; or will you let it get away and slip through?
我对黑人兄弟们说声抱歉, 我可不是什么马丁路德金 。
没有梦想的人, (到头来)却被梦想承载。
看呢, 那些没有选择梦想的人,却被梦想选中了。 那么我的问题是: 当梦想到了你跟前的时候, 你有勇气去追逐它吗? (你有两个选择:)
梦想适合你,向你展开了怀抱, 抑或 , 你赶他走或者与之擦肩而过?
You know I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. This was – this was so surprising to see, I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in. But he said actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. I say what? Like how does that sound what he said, he said because on the ground, The plane starts to rust.
某一天,我知道了关于飞机的(一个故事)。出乎我意料。 我和一位飞行员聊天, 他说,很多乘坐过他驾驶的飞机的乘客都认为飞行很危险。但是他竟然说, 停在地上其实要危险的多。 我说 , 你说什么? 就像他所说的 ,待在地上,之所以飞机危险,是因为飞机慢慢生锈了。
