57. Passion + Perseverance = Possibility

57. 激'情+堅持=可能性

There is no course on how to be a rock'n'roll star, but it was the only future I ever envisioned for myself. Looking back on it now, there was no logical reason to believe but I believed anyway. In my mind, I was going to be a musician. I knew it. I felt it. I believed it with every fiber of my being. It was probably a healthy combination of blind faith, naivete and passion that carried me toward my dream and that, if you take anything from my words here today, is what you should remember: passion+perseverance= possibility.

沒有教你怎樣成為搖滾明星的課程，但是，那是我對未來唯一的想象?，F(xiàn)在回首往昔，這種信念毫無邏輯依據(jù)，但是無論如何我相信。在我的頭腦中，我會成為一個音樂家。我知道，我能感覺到這一點。對此，我全心全意，堅信不疑。可能是這樣一種盲目的信念、天真的想法和激情交織在一起大概是件好事，帶領(lǐng)著我實現(xiàn)我的夢想，如果你們妥從我的演講中獲得什么收獲，那么你應該記住的是：激情+堅持=可能。

Let me break it down.

讓我分開講解。

passion

激情

Passion is my favorite word. Nothing is more important than passion. Whatever you plan to pursue in life, whatever you do, be passionate about it. Not everyone is born into this world with the same advantages. It can seem preordained and unfair when others seem to have an easier time out there in the world than you. But just because someone is wearing a fancy pair of trainers doesn't mean they can run faster. Don't be intimidate by the competition Sometimes, the advantage is having to work twice as hard to accomplish your goal. The success is sweeter and the failure less bitter when you know you gave everything you have Remember it's passion, not pedigree that can, and will, win in the end. It's not your father's world anymore. It doesn't matter what the world expects from you. It's what do you expect of yourself. Others will put their expectations, both good and bad, upon you. Ignore them. Be true to yourself It's your life.

激情是我最喜歡的一個坷。沒有什么比激情更重要。無論你在生命中追尋什么，無論你做什么，都要激情四射。并非每個人生來都有同樣的優(yōu)勢。別人在世上好像比你活得瀟灑時，你也許會覺得不公平。但是僅僅穿著一雙華麗的運動鞋并不意味著他們可以比你跑得更快。不要畏懼競爭，有時候你的優(yōu)勢就是要加倍努力實現(xiàn)目標。但當你明白你已傾盡全力后，成功會變得更加甜蜜，而失敗也不會那么苦澀。請記住，最終能讓你獲勝的是激情，而不是你的出身。你的人生不再是你父輩們的世界，這個世界對你有什么期望無關(guān)緊要，關(guān)鍵在于你對自己有何期盼。別人想要把他們那些或好或壞的期望強加在你身上，不用理睬他們。要忠于你自己。這是你自己的人生。
