求一些名人励志英语演讲稿，不要太长的。
名人励志英语演讲稿Most people would like to be popular with others, but not everyone can achieve this goal. What is the secret to popularity? In fact, it is very si-mp-le. The first step is to improve our appearance. We should always make sure that we stay in good shape and drewell. When we are healthy and well-groomed, we will not only look better but also feel better. In addition, we should smile and appear friendly. After all, our facial expression is an important part of our appearance. If we can do this, people will be attracted to our good looks and impressed by our confidence.Another important step is developing more consideration for others. We should always put others first and place their interests before our own. It's also important to be good listeners; in this way people will feel comfortable enough to confide in us. However, no matter what we do, we must not gossip. Above all, we must remember to be ourselves, not phonies. Only by being sincere and respectful of others can we earn their respect. If we can do all of the above, I am sure popularity will come our way.如何才能受人欢迎大部分的人都想受人欢迎，但是并非每个人都能达到目标。
受欢迎的秘诀何在?事实上是很简单的。
步骤一，先改善我们的外表。
我们得确保自己很健康，并且穿着体面。
当我们既健康又穿戴整齐时，不仅看起来更有精神，自己也会觉得好多了。
此外，我们要保持微笑并表现得很友善。
毕竟，脸部表情是外观很重要的一环。
如果我们能做到这一点，别人会被我们的美好外表所吸引，并对我们的自信印象深刻。
另一个重要步骤，就是培养对别人的体贴。
永远以他人为重，并把别人的利益放在自己的利益之前。
当个好听众也是很重要的;如此一来，别人才能很自在地对我们吐露心事。
然而，不管我们做什么事，绝对不要说闲言闲语。
最重要的是，要做自己，不要当虚伪的人。
只有对人真诚又尊重时，才能赢得他人的尊敬。
如果我们能做到以上几点，我相信受人欢迎是指日可待的事。
Strive for balance in life 努力保持生活的平衡by Brain Dyson 布莱恩•戴森(可口可乐公司总裁)Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them----work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop one it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends, and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of those, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they were your life, for without them, life is meaningless.Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live ALL the days of your life.Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don’t be afraid to admit that you are lethan perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.Don’t be afraid to encourage risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is gift…… that’s why we call it the present.想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。
你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球，如果你让它落地了，它还是会反弹起来。
但是，家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。
如果你让它们掉到地上，它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损，留下印记、划痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。
它们将永远不会跟以前一样。
你必须了解这个道理，并且努力保持生活的平衡。
但要怎么才做得到呢?不要拿自己和他人比较而贬低自己的价值。
正是因为我们彼此不同，所以每个人才很特别。
不要因为别人看重哪些东西而把它们设定为自己的目标。
只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
不要将最亲密的人视为理所当然。
好好珍惜他们，就像是你的生命一样，因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。
不要让你的生命总在留恋过去或是遥想未来中流逝。
如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了人生的精彩。
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。
只要你不放弃，万事皆有可能。
不要害怕承认你并非完美。
我们正是藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地联系在一起。
不要害怕遇到危险。
我们正是在冒险中学会勇敢的。
不要以真爱难求为借口而紧闭心扉。
找到爱最快的方法就是给予你的爱;失去爱最快的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维系爱最好的方法就是给爱一双翅膀。
不要匆忙地走完你的一生，以至于忘了自己到过哪里，要往哪里去。
不要害怕学习。
知识不会成为负担，是你可以轻松携带的珍宝。
不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或信口开河。
时间与话语都是收不回来的。
生活不是一场赛跑，而是每一步都需要体味的旅程。
昨天已成历史，明天还未可知，而今天则是一份礼物：那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”(译注：此处是双关语present的另一个意思是“礼物”)的原因。

英语简短演讲稿（积极向上的，两分钟）
HOW TO BE A GOOD STUDENT （怎样做个好学生）Every student wants to be a good student. Sometimes, they just don’t know how to be a good student. Don’t worry. Today, we will talk about it.I think three attributes can help you in your studies. First, a sense of responsibility is important for building a sound character. If you aren't responsible, you'll postpone your assignments or devote too little time to your schoolwork. Second, in school life, relationships between people are valuable. Friends can not only bring you happiness and laughter but also discuss problems and pursue knowledge with them. Last, it is significant to have a constructive philosophy of life. If you are defeated, don't be disappointed. Try to face your life and your studies with courage and determination. If you can work toward these goals, you'll become a well-rounded and versatile student instead of being a bookworm.

You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.

珍惜你所拥有的独特性。
这是上天给你的礼物,请欣赏并学会分享它。
没有人能像你一样乐于帮助别人。

励志小短文二：The Power of the DreamWhen someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.Find your treasure within and cherish2 it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.翻译：梦想的力量别人看你的眼睛时,他应当体会到你内心的活力。
怀揣梦想就像是拥有一座引领你前行的灯塔。
每个转折关头,它给我们带来奇迹。
每个新的起点,我们脱胎换骨,焕然一新。
孤独中我们挺过失望的阴霾,发现我们的信念不曾动摇,我们的力量依然强大。
秉持信念,期盼未来。
许下你最真诚的梦想,一旦机会来临,就为之拼搏。
也许要花一季甚或更多的时间,但结局不会改变。
立大志,倾全力,成现实。
前途未卜,唯有一步一个脚印,梦想者的至高希冀才会实现。
我们必须珍存梦想,给它一季的保护,让它在内心悄然生发。
然而我们还得温柔呵护我们内心至深的期许,慢慢地梦想必将成就新的生命。
梦想是实现信仰的第一步。
你的期待熠熠光辉,它会驱逐不信的阴影。
上帝赋予我们梦想的天资,去点亮不曾确信的世界。
让梦想的财富寄于心中,珍爱它,明天正等着你跨出第一步。
励志小短文三：A Better TomorrowPeople often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen. Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth. History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻译：一个更好的明天英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。
我们为什么要有图书馆呢
这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢
我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。
也因为有时候过去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。
如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。
从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。
英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。
这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。
历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。
历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。
简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。
昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。
这些历史学家们创作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。
励志小短文四：A Little Bit MoreToday is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you, find a way to improve it just a little. There’s no need to make a huge change, just a small one, something you can do right now.If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments. Look around you. Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way.Do just a little bit more today, and tomorrow too, and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference.翻译：再多一点点今天就是你可以做改进的极好的一天。
无论你在做什么,找一个方法去做一点点的改进。
不用做太大的改变,只要一点点——你现在可以做到的一点点。
如果你每天多给一个顾客打电话的话,一个月下来你会发现你又多认识了差不多二十个人。
如果每天多学会一个新词,过一年,你的词汇量将会增加300多个。
小小的改进能够逐步积累成大的成就。
观察你的周围。
思考你每天所做的工作。
英语短文想一下你怎么能做得更好一点。
在马拉松比赛中,冠军的每一步都只比第一百名的选手的步伐大一点点、快一点点。
英语短文但是在比赛过程中,那些小小的不同积累成了巨大的区别。
今天、明天、今后的每一天尽力做更多一点点。
任何人都能做一点小小的改进,但那小小的改进将会起到非常大、非常大的作用。
励志小短文五：If You Could ChooseIf you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow, with what kinds of things would you fill it?If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations, what would your expectations be?In fact, you do have the power to choose your own way. You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way.The world you experience is the world that your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate*. The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see.The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing with every minute. The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life.With your thoughts, your actions, your values, your dreams and expectations, you choose what kind of world you live in. The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see.翻译：如果你可以选择英语励志短文带翻译:如果你可以选择在什么样的世界里生活,那么你将会选择怎样的世界呢

3分钟英语演讲
Courage -- John KennedyThe courage of life is a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must – in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures – and that is the basic of all human morality. To be courageous … requires no exceptional qualifications, no magic formula, no special combination of time, place and circumstance. It is an opportunity that sooner or later is presented to us all. Politics merely furnishes one arena which imposes special tests of courage. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience – the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men – each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient – they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.勇气——约翰。
肯尼迪人生之中的勇气，常常不像千钧一发时刻的要求那样充满戏剧性；但是它却同样是一个有关胜利与悲剧的壮观结合体。
一个人要去做他必须做的任何事情——将个人得失置之度外，诸多的障碍、危险、和压力抛诸脑后——这便是人类一切道德的基础。
勇敢。
。
。
。
。
。
不需要额外的条件，也没有奇妙的规则，同样也不需要时间、地点和情势的特异结合，我们每个人迟早都会遇到这样一个机会。
政治只不过是对勇气进行特别考验的一个场所罢了。
无论在人生的何种场合下遭遇勇气的挑战，也不论是为了遵从自己的良知而将面对的牺牲——朋友、财富和满足的丧失，甚至于其他人对你的尊重——每个人都必须自己决断其所遵行的方针路线。
他人勇敢的故事可以阐述那个因素——能够教导我们，为我们提供希望和灵感，但却不能给予我们勇气。
因此，每个人必须深入到自己的灵魂之中去寻找勇气。

我很高兴可以在这里做一次演讲。
这一次，我想谈谈英语。
我讲的话题是我爱英语。
As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on Internet and for international trade. Learning English brings me great pleasure. 正如每个人所知，英语在今天十分重要。
它已经被应用到世界的各个角落。
它已经成为商业上最为通用的一门语言并广泛的用于国际贸易。
学习英语给我带来很大的乐趣。
When I was young, my mother sent me to an English school. At there, I played games and sang English songs with other children . Then I discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the English world. 当我还小的时候，我的妈妈送我到一间英语学校。
在那儿，我和其它的小朋友们玩游戏，唱英文歌曲。
我发现这种语言的优美之处，从那时开始就对英语有着色彩斑斓的梦。

美国励志人物大学演讲稿中英文对照版，有哪些
Madam President Faust, members of the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, today's graduates, 尊敬的Faust校长，哈佛集团的各位成员，监管理事会的各位理事，各位老师，各位家长，各位朋友，以及最重要的各位毕业生同学， Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. 感谢你们，让我有机会同你们一起分享这个美妙的日子。
I am not sure I can live up to the high standards of Harvard Commencement speakers. Last year, J.K. Rowling, the billionaire novelist, who started as a classics student, graced this podium. The year before, Bill Gates, the mega-billionaire philanthropist and computer nerd stood here. Today, sadly, you have me. I am not a billionaire, but at least I am a nerd. 我不太肯定，自己够得上哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲人这样的殊荣。
去年登上这个讲台的是，英国亿万身家的小说家J.K. Rowling女士，她最早是一个古典文学的学生。
前年站在这里的是比尔•盖茨先生，他是一个超级富翁、一个慈善家和电脑高手。
今年很遗憾，你们的演讲人是我，虽然我不是很有钱，但是至少我也算一个高手。
I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to me than you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. My older brother has an M.D.\\\/Ph.D. from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a law degree from Harvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would be pleased. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, That's nice, but when are you going to visit me next. Now, as the last brother with a degree from Harvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied. 我很感激哈佛大学给我荣誉学位，这对我很重要，也许比你们会想到的还要重要。
要知道，在学术上，我是我们家的不肖之子。
我的哥哥在麻省理工学院得到医学博士，在哈佛大学得到哲学博士；我的弟弟在哈佛大学得到一个法律学位。
我本人得到诺贝尔奖的时候，我想我的妈妈会高兴。
但是，我错了。
消息公布的那天早上，我给她打电话，她听了只说：这是好消息，不过我想知道，你下次什么时候来看我
如今在我们兄弟当中，我最终也拿到了哈佛学位，我想这一次，她会感到满意。
Another difficulty with giving a Harvard commencement address is that some of you may disapprove of the fact that I have borrowed material from previous speeches. I ask that you forgive me for two reasons. 在哈佛大学毕业典礼上发表演讲，还有一个难处，那就是你们中有些人可能有意见，不喜欢我重复前人演讲中说过的话。
我要求你们谅解我，因为两个理由。
First, in order to have impact, it is important to deliver the same message more than once. In science, it is important to be the first person to make a discovery, but it is even more important to be the last person to make that discovery. 首先，为了产生影响力，很重要的方法就是重复传递同样的信息。
在科学中，第一个发现者是重要的，但是在得到公认前，最后一个将这个发现重复做出来的人也许更重要。
Second, authors who borrow from others are following in the footsteps of the best. Ralph Waldo Emerson, who graduated from Harvard at the age of 18, noted All my best thoughts were stolen by the ancients. Picasso declared Good artists borrow. Great artists steal. Why should commencement speakers be held to a higher standard? 其次，一个借鉴他人的作者，正走在一条前人开辟的最佳道路上。
哈佛大学毕业生、诗人爱默生曾经写下：古人把我最好的一些思想都偷走了。
画家毕加索宣称优秀的艺术家借鉴，伟大的艺术家偷窃。
那么为什么毕业典礼的演说者，就不适用同样的标准呢
I also want to point out the irony of speaking to graduates of an institution that would have rejected me, had I the chutzpah to apply. I am married to Dean Jean, the former dean of admissions at Stanford. She assures me that she would have rejected me, if given the chance. When I showed her a draft of this speech, she objected strongly to my use of the word rejected. She never rejected applicants; her letters stated that we are unable to offer you admission. I have difficulty understanding the difference. After all, deans of admissions of highly selective schools are in reality, deans of rejection. Clearly, I have a lot to learn about marketing. 我还要指出一点，向哈佛毕业生发表演说，对我来说是有讽刺意味的，因为如果当年我斗胆向哈佛大学递交入学申请，一定会被拒绝。
我的妻子Jean当过斯坦福大学的招生主任，她向我保证，如果当年我申请斯坦福大学，她会拒绝我。
我把这篇演讲的草稿给她过目，她强烈反对我使用拒绝这个词，她从来不拒绝任何申请者。
在拒绝信中，她总是写：我们无法提供你入学机会。
我分不清两者到底有何差别。
在我看来，那些大热门学校的招生主任与其称为准许你入学的主任，还不如称为拒绝你入学的主任。
很显然，我需要好好学学怎么来推销自己。
My address will follow the classical sonata form of commencement addresses. The first movement, just presented, were light-hearted remarks. This next movement consists of unsolicited advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. So, here comes the advice. First, every time you celebrate an achievement, be thankful to those who made it possible. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than-brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. Going forward, the ability to teach yourself is the hallmark of a great liberal arts education and will be the key to your success. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them. Also, of course, thank Harvard. Should you forget, there's an alumni association to remind you. Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. In all negotiations, don't bargain for the last, little advantage. Leave the change on the table. In your collaborations, always remember that credit is not a conserved quantity. In a successful collaboration, everybody gets 90 percent of the credit. 毕业典礼演讲都遵循古典奏鸣曲的结构，我的演讲也不例外。
刚才是第一乐章----轻快的闲谈。
接下来的第二乐章是送上门的忠告。
这样的忠告很少被重视，几乎注定被忘记，永远不会被实践。
但是，就像王尔德说的：对于忠告，你所能做的，就是把它送给别人，因为它对你没有任何用处。
所以，下面就是我的忠告。
第一，取得成就的时候，不要忘记前人。
要感谢你的父母和支持你的朋友，要感谢那些启发过你的教授，尤其要感谢那些上不好课的教授，因为他们迫使你自学。
从长远看，自学能力是优秀的文理教育中必不可少的，将成为你成功的关键。
你还要去拥抱你的同学，感谢他们同你进行过的许多次彻夜长谈，这为你的教育带来了无法衡量的价值。
当然，你还要感谢哈佛大学。
不过即使你忘了这一点，校友会也会来提醒你。
第二，在你们未来的人生中，做一个慷慨大方的人。
在任何谈判中，都把最后一点点利益留给对方。
不要把桌上的钱都拿走。
在合作中，要牢记荣誉不是一个守恒的量。
成功合作的任何一方，都应获得全部荣誉的90%。
Jimmy Stewart, as Elwood P. Dowd in the movie Harvey got it exactly right. He said: Years ago my mother used to say to me, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be ... she always used to call me Elwood ... in this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. ... I recommend pleasant. You may quote me on that. 电影《Harvey》中，Jimmy Stewart扮演的角色Elwood P. Dowd，就完全理解这一点。
他说：多年前，母亲曾经对我说，'Elwood，活在这个世界上，你要么做一个聪明人，要么做一个好人。
'我做聪明人，已经做了好多年了。
......但是，我推荐你们做好人。
你们可以引用我这句话。
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don't have a passion, don't be satisfied until you find one. Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics. 我的第三个忠告是，当你开始生活的新阶段时，请跟随你的爱好。
如果你没有爱好，就去找，找不到就不罢休。
生命太短暂，如果想有所成，你必须对某样东西倾注你的深情。
我在你们这个年龄，是超级的一根筋，我的目标就是非成为物理学家不可。
本科毕业后，我在加州大学伯克利分校又待了8年，读完了研究生，做完了博士后，然后去贝尔实验室待了9年。
在这些年中，我关注的中心和职业上的全部乐趣，都来自物理学。
Here is my final piece of advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won't be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made. 我还有最后一个忠告，就是说兴趣爱好固然重要，但是你不应该只考虑兴趣爱好。
当你白发苍苍、垂垂老矣、回首人生时，你需要为自己做过的事感到自豪。
你的物质生活和得到的承认，都不会产生自豪。
只有那些你出手相助、被你改变过的人和事，才会让你产生自豪。
After nine years at Bell labs, I decided to leave that warm, cozy ivory tower for what I considered to be the real world, a university. Bell Labs, to quote what was said about Mary Poppins, was practically perfect in every way, but I wanted to leave behind something more than scientific articles. I wanted to teach and give birth to my own set of scientific children. 在贝尔实验室待了9年后，我决定离开这个温暖舒适的象牙塔，走进我眼中的真实世界----大学。
我对贝尔实验室的看法，就像别人形容电影Mary Poppins的话，实际上完美无缺。
但是，我想为世界留下更多的东西，不只是科学论文。
我要去教书，培育我自己在科学上的后代。
Ted Geballe, a friend and distinguished colleague of mine at Stanford, who also went from Berkeley to Bell Labs to Stanford years earlier, described our motives best: 我在斯坦福大学有一个好友兼杰出同事Ted Geballe。
他也是从伯克利分校去了贝尔实验室，几年前又离开贝尔实验室去了斯坦福大学。
他对我们的动机做出了最佳描述： The best part of working at a university is the students. They come in fresh, enthusiastic, open to ideas, unscarred by the battles of life. They don't realize it, but they're the recipients of the best our society can offer. If a mind is ever free to be creative, that's the time. They come in believing textbooks are authoritative, but eventually they figure out that textbooks and professors don't know everything, and then they start to think on their own. Then, I begin learning from them. 在大学工作，最大的优点就是学生。
他们生机勃勃，充满热情，思想自由，还没被生活的重压改变。
虽然他们自己没有意识到，但是他们是这个社会中你能找到的最佳受众。
如果生命中曾经有过思想自由和充满创造力的时期，那么那个时期就是你在读大学。
进校时，学生们对课本上的一字一句毫不怀疑，渐渐地，他们发现课本和教授并不是无所不知的，于是他们开始独立思考。
从那时起，就是我开始向他们学习了。
My students, post doctoral fellows, and the young researchers who worked with me at Bell Labs, Stanford, and Berkeley have been extraordinary. Over 30 former group members are now professors, many at the best research institutions in the world, including Harvard. I have learned much from them. Even now, in rare moments on weekends, the remaining members of my biophysics group meet with me in the ether world of cyberspace. 我教过的学生、带过的博士后、合作过的年轻同事，都非常优秀。
他们中有30多人，现在已经是教授了。
他们所在的研究机构有不少是全世界第一流的，其中就包括哈佛大学。
我从他们身上学到了很多东西。
即使现在，我偶尔还会周末上网，向现在还从事生物物理学研究的学生请教。
I began teaching with the idea of giving back; I received more than I gave. This brings me to the final movement of this speech. It begins with a story about an extraordinary scientific discovery and a new dilemma that it poses. It's a call to arms and about making a difference. 我怀着回报社会的想法，开始了教学生涯。
我的一生中，得到的多于我付出的，所以我要回报社会。
这就引出了这次演讲的最后一个乐章。
首先我要讲一个了不起的科学发现，以及由此带来的新挑战。
它是一个战斗的号令，到了做出改变的时候了。
