A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
All what we hope for is that a day will come, when we have all gone, when people will say that this man has tried, and his family tried. This is all there is to seek in this world.
我们所希望的是，有一天，当我们都走了的时候，人们会说，这个人已经尝试过了，他的家人也尝试过了。这就是我们在这个世界上所追求的一切。
I like school very much, and I'll go to college if my career slows down. But kids go to college to be where I am today. Not to put college down, but for me, it would be digressing.
我非常喜欢学校，如果我的事业放缓，我就会去上大学。但是孩子们上大学就像我现在这样。不是为了贬低大学，但对我来说，这就离题了。
And that had a powerful appeal, particularly to those who had been denied the choice to stay on at school, to go to university, to be something else, other than going down the pit.
这对那些被剥夺了继续上学、上大学、做其他事情的人，尤其是那些被剥夺了继续上学、上大学、做其他事情、而不是掉进坑里的人，有着强大的吸引力。
I came to declare that I am a friend to Arabs, at a time when it is not easy to be friend to Arabs, because nowadays those who have ambitions and interests would not befriend Arab.
我来这里宣布，我是阿拉伯人的朋友，在这个时代，要和阿拉伯人交朋友并不容易，因为现在那些有野心和兴趣的人不会和阿拉伯人交朋友。
I have this burning desire to get out there and do my best. It's as if I'm keeping it all in a little bottle, and it's all going to come out when I do the best I'm capable of doing.
我有一种强烈的愿望，那就是走出去，尽我最大的努力。就好像我把所有的东西都装在一个小瓶子里，当我尽我所能的时候，所有的东西都会出来。
Having the world's best idea will do you no good unless you act on it. People who want milk shouldn't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in hopes that a cow will back up to them.
拥有世界上最好的想法对你没有好处，除非你付诸行动。想要牛奶的人不应该坐在田野中央的凳子上，指望奶牛会回到他们身边。
The kind of people I look for to fill top management spots are the eager beavers, the mavericks. These are the guys who try to do more than they're expected to do - they always reach.
我寻找的那种人来填补高层管理职位是热切的海狸，特立独行。这些人努力做得比他们预期的要多——他们总是能达到目标。
I've also said you don't rule any options out, because if you are in public life because you want to make a difference... obviously, you have to be open to those kind of possibilities.
我还说过，你不排除任何选择，因为如果你在公共生活中，因为你想有所作为……显然，你必须对这些可能性持开放态度。

Surveys show that many talented and committed young people are reluctant to enter teaching for the long haul because they think the profession is low-paying and not prestigious enough.

So they've actually - it's not that her character is a singer, but she had ambition to do that at an earlier time in her life. So I've actually sung two or three times now on the show.
所以他们实际上——并不是说她的角色是个歌手，而是她在早年就有这样的抱负。所以我在节目中已经唱了两三遍了。
It doesn't matter how much you want. What really matters is how much you want it. The extent and complexity of the problem does not matter was much as does the willingness to solve it.
你想要多少并不重要。真正重要的是你有多想要它。问题的程度和复杂性并不重要，重要的是解决问题的意愿。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

The things that one most wants to do are the things that are probably most worth doing.
一个人最想做的事情可能是最值得做的事情。
It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.
