A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.
不要逃避辛苦，让自己因这样或那样的才能而变得卓越;只是不可专心在一个枝子上。努力对所有事情都有清晰的概念。完全不放弃科学;因为科学只是其中之一。
It is so weird to be on this side of that, because when you're starting out, and it seems like you're starting out for so long, you look up to the people who have made their mark. And you sort of want to be that.
站在这一边是很奇怪的，因为当你开始创业的时候，你似乎已经开始了很长时间，你会敬仰那些已经取得成就的人。你想成为那样的人。
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag, I just want to be an example.
当我高中毕业的时候，老师说我把我的生命都浪费在音乐上了，那个老师邀请我回学校演讲。我这么说不是为了炫耀，我只是想做个榜样。
Any life career that you choose in following your bliss should be chosen with that sense - that nobody can frighten me off from this thing. And no matter what happens, this is the validation of my life and action.
你在追求幸福的过程中所选择的任何职业，都应该带着这样一种感觉——没有人能把我从这件事上吓跑。无论发生什么，这都是对我生活和行动的肯定。
What we have, what we wish we had - ambitions fulfilled, ambitions disappointed, investments won, investments lost, elections won, elections lost - these things may occupy our attention, but they do not define us.
我们所拥有的，我们所希望拥有的——抱负实现了，抱负破灭了，投资赢了，投资输了，选举赢了，选举输了——这些事情可能会占据我们的注意力，但它们不能定义我们。
Mainly as sort of blueprints for dealing with most of the adults in their lives, to some extent with their fellows. It is this notion of aiming high and there's always hope, aim low and you might as well stop now.
主要是作为一种蓝图来处理他们生活中的大多数成年人，在某种程度上与他们的同伴。这是一种志存高远的观念，永远有希望，志存高远，你最好现在就停止。
We started the company out of frustration with the employer that we had because we were building great stuff and there was no way that this stuff was ever going to get into the hands of the people who could use it.
我们创办这家公司是出于对我们的雇主的不满，因为我们在创造伟大的东西，而这些东西是不可能落到需要它的人手中的。
I think to actually be an Olympian to me means that you've trained most of your life, or you've dedicated most of your life or a big chunk of your life into doing something that you believe that you can accomplish.
我认为成为一名真正的奥运选手对我来说意味着你已经训练了你生命中的大部分，或者你已经奉献了你生命中的大部分或者你生命中的大部分来做一些你相信你能完成的事情。
Do you wish to be great? Then begin by being. Do you desire to construct a vast and lofty fabric? Think first about the foundations of humility. The higher your structure is to be, the deeper must be its foundation.
你想变得伟大吗?然后从存在开始。你想要建造一个巨大而崇高的结构吗?首先想想谦逊的基础。你的结构越高，它的基础就必须越深。
It turns out that I've become a pretty good werewolf actor. I'm going to have to try to get myself into a different position, at some point in the future, but I'll take werewolf. Werewolf is pretty damn fun to play.
事实证明我已经成为一个很好的狼人演员。在未来的某个时候，我必须试着让自己处于一个不同的位置，但我会选择狼人。狼人真的很好玩。
I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.
我很高兴能参与到这个过程中来，我愿意在一周中的任何一天，坐着一堆连锁邮件，为雷德利回到沙漠。他是个很棒的导演，我等不及要看他的长版本了。
I suppose I had my rock star fantasies while I was singing into my hairbrush in the bathroom mirror, but I never really consciously said, 'OK, this is what I'm going to do for a living and I'm going to be Weird Al.'
我想，当我对着浴室镜子里的梳子唱歌时，我也有过摇滚明星般的幻想，但我从来没有真正有意识地说过，‘好吧，这就是我要做的工作，我要做一个古怪的艾尔。’
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.

Those who intend on becoming great should love neither themselves nor their own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.

让别人过渺小的生活，而不是你。让别人为小事争论，而不是你。让别人为小小的伤痛而哭泣，而不是你。让别人把自己的未来交给别人，而不是你。
We need to ask ourselves what are we here for and what have we worked so hard to be here for.
我们需要问问自己，我们来这里是为了什么，我们这么努力工作是为了什么。
To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.
