And when you’re down in the hole, when that moment comes, it’s really okay to feel bad for a little while. Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost, but then here’s the key: Learn from every mistake, because every experience, encounter and particularly your mistakes are there to teach you and force you into being more of who you are. And then figure out what is the next right move. And the key to life is to develop an internal moral, emotional GPS that can tell you which way to go. Because now and forever more when you Google yourself, your search results will read “Harvard, 2013.” And in a very competitive world, that really is a calling card, ’cause I can tell you as one who employs a lot of people, when I see “Harvard,” I sit up a little straighter and say: “Where is he or she? Bring them in.” It’s an impressive calling card that can lead to even more impressive bullets in the years ahead: lawyer, senator, CEO, scientist, physicist, winners of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, or late-night talk show host. But the challenge of life, I have found, is to build a resume that doesn’t simply tell a story about what you want to be, but it’s a story about who you want to be. It’s a resume that doesn’t just tell a story about what you want to accomplish but why. A story that’s not just a collection of titles and positions but a story that’s really about your purpose. Because when you inevitably stumble and find yourself stuck in a hole, that is the story that will get you out. What is your true calling? What is your dharma? What is your purpose? For me that discovery came in 1994 when I interviewed a little girl who had decided to collect pocket change in order to help other people in need. She raised a thousand dollars all by herself, and I thought, “Well, if that little 9-year-old girl with a bucket and big heart could do that, I wonder what I could do?” So I asked for our viewers to take up their own change collection, and in one month, just from pennies and nickels and dimes, we raised more than $3 million that we used to send one student from every state in the United States to college. That was the beginning of the Angel Network. 当你们身处谷底、陷入困境时,当那种时刻来临时,暂时的难过完全无妨。给自己一些时间,去为你认为自己可能已经失去的东西默哀,但这之后才是关键:要从每一次错误中吸取教训,因为你的每一次经历、遭遇尤其是你犯下的错误,都将引导和促使你更好地实现自我。然后,再想清楚接下来该做什么。 人生的关键是建立起一种内在的道德上和情感上的GPS (全球定位系统),它会指引你前进的道路。因为不管是现在还是更远的将来,当你们在谷歌上搜索自己,搜索结果都会显示“哈佛大学2013届毕业生”。在这个竞争激烈的世界,这真的就是一张名片。我雇佣过许多人,所以我可以告诉你们,当我看到“哈佛”二字时,我总会坐直一点才说:“他/她在哪儿?请他们进来吧。”这是一张令人印象深刻的名片,在未来的日子里,这张名片会印上更加令人钦佩的头衔:律师、议员、首席执行官、科学家、物理学家、诺贝尔奖和普利策奖获得者或深夜脱口秀节目主持人。然而我意识到,人生的挑战在于,在你编写履历的时候,不是简单地告诉别人你想从事什么职业,而是要讲清楚你想成为怎样的人;不是仅仅介绍你想有何成就,而是为什么你想有如此成就;不是简单地罗列你的各种头衔和职位,而是要清
