1
Stop comparing yourself to other people.
2
You're only on this planet to be you, not someone else's imitation of you.
3
There really is a solution.
4
And the solution is each and every one of you.
5
Because you will become the new editorial gatekeepers,
6
an ambitious army of truth seekers who will arm yourselves with the intelligence,
7
with the insight and the facts necessary to strike down deceit.
8
You're in a position to keep all of those who now disparage real news, you all are the ones who are going to keep those people in check.
9
Why?
10
Because you can push back and you can answer false narratives with real information and you can set the record straight.
11
And you also have the ability and the power to give voice, as Dean Bae was saying,
12
to people who desperately now need to tell their stories and have their stories told.
13
And this is what I do know for sure because I've been doing it a long time.
14
If you can capture the humanity of people, if you could just capture the humanity of the people, the stories that you're telling,
15
you then get that much closer to your own humanity.
16
And you can confront your bias and you can build your credibility and hone your instincts and compound your compassion.
17
You can use your gifts, that's what you're really here to do, to illuminate the darkness in our world.
18
We're supposed to see this moment in time for what it is.
19
We're supposed to see through it and then transcend it.
20
That is how you overcome hysteria.
21
That is how you overcome the sniping at one another, the trolling, the mean-spirited partisanship on both sides of the aisle,
22
the divisiveness, the injustices, and the out-and-out hatred.
23
You use it.
24
Use this moment to encourage you,
25
to embolden you, and to literally push you into the rising of your life.
26
And to borrow a phrase from my beloved mentor Maya Angelou, just like moons and like suns, with the certainty of tides,
27
just like the hopes springing high, you will rise.
28
You make the choice every day, every single day to exemplify honesty because the truth,
29
let me tell you something about the truth, the truth exonerates and it convicts.
30
It disinfects and it galvanizes.
31
The truth has always been and will always be our shield against corruption, our shield against greed and despair.
32
The truth is our saving grace.
33
The question is, what are you willing to stand for?
34
That question is going to follow you throughout your life.
35
And here's how you answer it.
36
You put your honor where your mouth is.
37
Put your honor where your mouth is.
38
When you give your word, keep it.
39
Show up.
40
Do the work.
41
Get your hands dirty.
42
And then you'll begin to draw strength from the understanding, the true knowing that history is still being written.
43
You're writing it every day.
44
The will's still in spin.
45
And what you do or what you don't do will be a part of it.
46
A couple other thoughts before I go.
47
Eat a good breakfast.
48
It really pays off.
49
Pay your bills on time.
50
Recycle.
51
Make your bed.
52
Aim high.
53
Say thank you to people and actually really mean it.
54
Ask for help when you need it.
55
And put your phone away at the dinner table.
56
Just sit on it.
57
Really.
58
And know that what you tweet
59
and post in Instagram today might be asked about in a job interview tomorrow or 20 years from tomorrow.
60
Be nice to little kids.
61
Be nice to your elders.
62
Be nice to animals and know that it's better to be interested than interesting.
63
Invest in a quality mattress.
64
I'm telling you Your back will thank you later.
65
And don't cheap out on your shoes.
66
You need to know this.
67
Your job is not always going to fulfill you.
68
There will be some days that you just might be bored.
69
Other days you may not feel like going to work at all.
70
Go anyway.
71
And remember that your job is not who you are.
72
It's just what you're doing on the way to who you will become.
73
Every remedial chore, every boss who takes credit for your ideas, that is going to happen.
74
Look for the lessons because the lessons are always there.
75
And the number one lesson I can offer you where your work is concerned is this.
76
so skilled, so vigilant, so flat out fantastic at what you do,
77
that your talent cannot be dismissed.
78
Stop comparing yourself to other people.
79
You're only on this planet to be you, not someone else's imitation of you you.
80
So I hold you in the light and I wish you curiosity and confidence and I wish you ethics and enlightenment.
81
I wish you guts.
82
Every great decision I've ever made I trust in my gut and goodness.
83
I wish you purpose and the passion that goes along with that purpose.
84
And here's what I really hope.
85
I hope that every one of you contributes to the conversation of our culture
86
and our time and to some genuine communication
87
which means you have to connect to people exactly where they are not where you are
88
but where they are and I hope you shake things up
89
and when the time comes to bet on yourself I hope you double down Bet on yourself.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
