74. Stay True to Yourself

74. 做真正的自己

But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure; to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person; to contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your Passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

但今日我對(duì)成功的定義變了，當(dāng)你長(zhǎng)大，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這點(diǎn)。對(duì)你們中的很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭酒。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，生命中最重妥的事是:活得誠(chéng)實(shí)!別屈從于同伴的壓力，把自己變成本不是的那個(gè)人。要活得真誠(chéng)，有憐憫之心，在某些方面有所貢獻(xiàn)。這是結(jié)論的結(jié)論，追隨熱情，忠于自我。絕不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷了路才要這么做。那時(shí)你真的該那樣做。別給人忠告，它們會(huì)給你帶來(lái)麻煩。也別接受任何人的忠告。那么，我要給大家的忠告是，做真正的自己，一切都會(huì)順利的。

And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sea level?". So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time.

我知道在莊很多人都在擔(dān)心自己的前途，但不用擔(dān)心，經(jīng)濟(jì)正急速增長(zhǎng)，就業(yè)市場(chǎng)求才若J蜀，地球也好得很。一切都會(huì)好的，你們都經(jīng)歷過(guò)風(fēng)災(zāi)了，還有什么可怕的?如我以前所說(shuō)的:從最慘痛的經(jīng)歷中可以吸收最多的教訓(xùn)?，F(xiàn)在你們知道在你們的第一場(chǎng)面試中該問(wèn)什么樣的問(wèn)題了吧?比如，公司高于海平面嗎?總結(jié)我之前的結(jié)論，我的"常見(jiàn)的水泥"演講，我想說(shuō)的是，人生就像一場(chǎng)狂歡節(jié)嘉年華，但請(qǐng)展現(xiàn)你們的頭腦，而非胸部，如果人家欣賞的話你就有更多的金銀珠寶可以使用，而且在大多時(shí)間你都會(huì)醉。

例句：It is the easiest thing to do for us, but the most devastating for the lies.
這是我們能做到的最簡(jiǎn)單的事情，但是對(duì)于謊言，卻是最具有毀滅性。

bite you in the ass：自食其果
