I'm often asked, "What's your secret to success?" The shorter answer: "Put in that work."
经常有人问我: “你成功的秘诀是什么?” 我简短的回答是: “投入工作。”
There may be more failures than victories. Yes, I've been blessed to have 24 Grammy's, but I've lost 46 times. That meant rejections 46 times.
失败可能比成功多。是的，我有幸拥有24项格莱美奖，但我失去了46次。这意味着被拒绝了46次。
Please don't ever feel entitled to win. Just keep working harder. Surrender to the cards you are dealt. It is from the surrender that you get your power. Losing can be the best motivator to get you even bigger wins. So never compare yourself to anyone else.
不要认为成功是理所当然的，而应该不断努力。也要学会认清现实，并从中汲取力量。失败可以成为你获得更大成功的最佳动力。所以永远不要和别人比较。
There will be wins and losses.
这会有赢也有输。
There will be tears and laughter.
这会有泪水和欢笑。
You'll feel the shades of life deeply. Now, with success comes challenges. With your wins, you may start to notice people spending a lot of energy trying to tear you down. Try not take it personally. Unfortunately, it's something that comes along with success.
你会深刻地感受到生活的细微之处。现在，成功带来了挑战。随着你的胜利，你可能开始注意到人们花费了大量的精力试图摧毁你。试着不要往心里去。因为，很不幸，这就是伴随成功而来的东西。
Whenever you feel like you're not in control or the world is against you, let that vulnerability motive you into greatness. That's how I found my true self. I remain a work in progress. And that is the beauty of growth. I've been happiest when I let go and allow life to show me the next move.
当你觉得自己无法掌控一切，或者整个世界都在和你作对的时候，就让这种脆弱激励你变得伟大吧。我就是这样找到了真正的自己。我的工作仍在进行。这就是成长的美丽。当我放手，让生活告诉我下一步该怎么走的时候，我是最快乐的。
When you bet on yourself, you're making an investment into your own future. When you choose to spend your valuable time thinking and speaking, typing negative thoughts, you are investing in something that will give you absolutely no return in your investment.
当你把赌注押在自己身上时，你就是在投资自己的未来。当你选择把宝贵的时间花在思考、说话、输入消极的想法上时，你就是在投资一些不会给你任何回报的东西。
Class of 2020, every thought in your mind is powerful. Every word you speak is powerful. Every action you take has consequences for yourself and your community.
2020届的同学们，你们脑子里的每一个想法都是强大的。你说的每一个字都很有力量。你所采取的每一个行动都会对你自己和你所处的环境产生影响。
And remember you are never alone. Lean on the strength of togetherness, keep the collective strong. Stay focused. Don't talk about what you're gonna do. Don't just dream about you're gonna do. Don't criticize somebody else for what they're not doing. You, be it. Be about it. Be about that action and go do it.
记住，你永远不会孤单。依靠团结的力量，保持集体的强大。保持专注。不要仅仅口头说你要做什么。不要只是梦想你将要做的事。不要因为别人没有做的事而批评他们。你，做到这些。行动起来，去做吧。
Keep your eye on your intention. Don't let any outside distraction or your own insecurity stop you from your goals. Embrace that struggle. Surviving that struggle will strengthen you.
专心于你的目标。不要让任何外界的干扰或你自己的不安全感阻止你实现目标。拥抱斗争。在这样的斗争中生存下来会让你变得更强大。
This is a crucial time in our history and in your life. The earth is ripping the band-aid off so we can really see our wounds, so we can acknowledge and nurture them. That's when true healing begins. You can be that leader we all need.
这是我们历史上的一个关键时刻，也是你们生命中的一个关键时刻。地球正在撕开创可贴，这样我们才能真正看到自己的伤口，这样我们才能承认并帮助它们。这就是真正的治愈开始的时候。你们可以成为我们需要的领袖。
My prayer for you is that you invest in yourself and see the value of giving back and building a community the best way you can. I pray that you continue to celebrate and value lives that appear different than your own.
我为你们祈祷的是，你们投资于自己，并看到回报的价值，并以最好的方式建立一个社会。我祈祷你们继续庆祝和珍惜那些与你们不同的生命。
I know you are ready to start one of the most important journeys of your life. You are at the brink of a huge world shift. Look how far you've come and how much you contributed. Keep pushing. Forget the fear. Forget the doubt. Keep investing and keep betting on yourself. And congratulations.
我知道你们已经准备好开始你们生命中最重要的旅程之一。你正处在一个世界剧变的边缘。看看你已经走了多远，贡献了多少。继续努力。忘记恐惧。忘记你的怀疑。继续投资，继续押注自己。
