1
So I won't tell you what to do, because no one likes that.
2
I will, however, give you some life hacks.
3
I wish I knew when I was starting out my dreams of a career and navigating life, Love.
4
pressure, choices, shame, hope, and friendship.
5
The first of which is...
6
Life can be heavy, especially if you try to carry it all at once.
7
- Yeah.
8
Part of growing up, and moving into new chapters of your life.
9
is about catch and release.
10
What I mean by that is, knowing what things to keep, and what things to release.
11
You can't carry all things.
12
all grudges.
13
all updates on your ex, all enviable promotions your school bully got at the hedge fund, his uncle started.
14
decide What is yours to hold?
15
and let the rest go.
16
Oftentimes, The good things in your life are lighter anyway.
17
So there's more room for them.
18
one toxic relationship.
19
can outweigh so many wonderful simple joys.
20
You get to pick what your life has time and room for. Be discerning.
21
Secondly, Learn to live alongside Cringe.
22
No matter how hard You try to avoid being cringe.
23
you will look back on your life and cringe retrospectively.
24
Cringe?
25
is unavoidable over a lifetime.
26
Even the term cringe might someday be deemed cringe.
27
I promise you.
28
you're probably doing or wearing something right now.
29
that you will look back on later and find revolting and hilarious.
30
Can't avoid it.
31
So don't try to.
32
For example, I had a phase where for the entirety of 2012,
33
I dressed like a 1950s housewife. But you know what?
34
I was having fun.
35
Trends and phases are fun.
36
Looking back and laughing is fun.
37
And while we're talking about things that make us squirm but really shouldn't.
38
I'd like to say I'm a big advocate for not hiding your enthusiasm. for things.
39
It seems to me that there is a false stigma around eagerness.
40
in our culture of unbothered, ambivalence.
41
This outlook perpetuates the idea that it's not cool to want it.
42
The people who don't try are fundamentally more chic than people who do.
43
And I wouldn't know because I've been a lot of things, but I've never been an expert on chic.
44
But I'm the one who's up here, so you have to listen to me when I say this.
45
Never. Be ashamed. of trying.
46
Effortlessness.
47
is a myth.
48
The people who wanted it the least were the ones I wanted to date and be friends with in high school.
49
the people who want it the most, are the people I now hire to work for my company.
50
I started writing songs when I was 12.
51
And since then, It's been the compass guiding my life and in turn My life guided my writing.
52
everything I do.
53
is just an extension of my writing, whether it's directing videos or a short film, creating the visuals for a tour.
54
or standing on a stage performing.
55
Everything is connected.
56
by my love of the craft.
57
the thrill of working through ideas and narrowing them down and polishing it all up in the end.
58
Editing waking up in the middle of the night, throwing out the old idea because You just thought of a newer better one.
59
or a plot device that ties the whole thing together.
60
There's a reason they call it a hook.
61
sometimes a string of words, ensnares me and I can't focus on anything until it's been recorded or written down.
62
As a songwriter, I've never been able to sit still.
63
or stay in one creative place for too long.
64
I've made and released 11 albums and in the process, I've switched genre from country to pop, to alternative, to folk.
65
And this might sound like a very songwriter -centric line of discussion.
66
But in a way, I really do think We are all Writers.
67
And most of us right, in a different voice for different situations.
68
You write differently in your Instagram stories than you do your senior thesis.
69
send a different type of email to your boss than you do your best friend from home.
70
We are all literary chameleons.
71
And I think it's fascinating.
72
It's just a continuation of the idea that we are so many things all the time.
73
And I know it can be really overwhelming figuring out who to be and when.
74
who you are now, and how to act in order to get where you want to go.
75
I have some good news.
76
It's totally up to you.
77
- Thank you.
78
I have some terrifying news.
79
It's totally up to you.
80
Thank you.
81
I said to you earlier that I don't ever offer advice.
82
unless someone asked me for it, and now I'll tell you why.
83
As a person who started my very public career at the age of 15, It came with a price. And that price?
84
was years of unsolicited advice.
85
LAUGHTER Being the youngest person in every room for over a decade, - Meant.
86
that I was constantly being issued warnings.
87
from older members of the music industry.
88
media interviewers, executives And this advice, often presented itself.
89
as thinly veiled warnings.
90
See, I was a teenager.
91
at a time when our society was absolutely obsessed with the idea of having...
92
perfect.
93
young female role models.
94
It felt like every interview I did included slight barbs by the interviewer, about me one day.
95
running off the rails.
96
And that meant a different thing to every person who said it to me.
97
So I became a young adult while being fed the message that if I didn't make-- Any mistakes
98
All the children of America would grow up to be perfect angels.
99
However, if I did slip up, the entire Earth would fall off its axis, and it would be entirely my fault, and I would go to pop star jail, forever and ever.
100
It was all centered around The idea.
101
mistakes.
102
equal.
103
failure.
104
and ultimately, The loss.
105
of any chance at a happy or rewarding life.
106
has not been my experience.
107
My experience has been that my mistakes led to the-- best things in my life.
108
And Being embarrassed when you mess up?
109
It's part of the human experience.
110
Getting back up.
111
dusting yourself off, And seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.
112
The Times, I was told no. or wasn't included.
113
wasn't chosen, didn't win, didn't make the cut.
114
Looking back, it really feels like those moments were as important, if not more crucial, than the moments I was told Yes.
115
not be invited, to the parties and sleepovers in my hometown.
116
made me feel hopelessly lonely.
117
But because I felt alone, I would sit in my room.
118
and write the songs that would get me a ticket somewhere else.
119
Having label executives in Nashville, tell me that only 35 -year -old housewives listen to country music
120
and there was no place for a 13 -year -old on their roster, made me cry in the car on the way home.
121
But then I'd post my songs on my MySpace. and yes, MySpace.
122
LAUGHTER and I would message with other teenagers like me who loved country music.
123
but just didn't have anyone singing from their perspective.
124
having journalists write in -depth, oftentimes critical pieces about who they perceive me to be.
125
made me feel like I was living in some weird simulation.
126
but it also made me look inward.
127
to learn about who I actually am.
128
Having the world treat my love life like a spectator sport in which I lose Every single game.
129
was not a great way to date in my teens and 20s.
130
But it taught me to protect my private life.
131
fiercely.
132
Being publicly humiliated over and over again at a young age was excruciatingly painful.
133
But it forced me.
134
to devalue the ridiculous notion of minute by minute.
135
ever -fluctuating social relevance and likability.
136
Thank you.
137
getting canceled on the internet, and nearly losing my career.
138
gave me an excellent knowledge of all the types of wine.
139
I know I sound-- like a consummate optimist, but I'm really not.
140
I lose perspective.
141
all the time.
142
Sometimes Everything.
143
just feels completely pointless.
144
I know the pressure.
145
of living your life through the lens of perfectionism.
146
And I know that I'm talking to a group of perfectionists because you are here today graduating from NYU.
147
So this-- might be hard for you to in your life.
148
you will inevitably Miss speak.
149
trust the wrong person.
150
underreact.
151
Overreact.
152
hurt the people who didn't deserve it.
153
Overthink.
154
Not think at all.
155
self -sabotage, create a reality where only your experience exists, ruin perfectly good moments for yourself and others.
156
deny any wrongdoing.
157
not take the steps to make it right, feel very guilty, Let the guilt eat at you.
158
Hit rock bottom.
159
Finally address the pain you caused.
160
Try to do better next time.
161
Rinse, repeat.
162
And I'm not going to lie.
163
these mistakes Will.
164
cause you to lose things.
165
I'm trying to tell you that losing things doesn't just mean losing.
166
A lot of the time when we lose things, we gain things too.
167
Now you leave the structure and framework of school.
168
and chart your own path.
169
Every choice you make leads to the next choice, which leads to the next to the next and I know it's hard. to know.
170
which path to take.
171
There will be times in life where you need to stand up for yourself.
172
Times when the right thing is actually to back down and apologize.
173
times when the right thing is to fight.
174
times when the right thing is to turn and run.
175
times to hold on with all you have.
176
and times to let go with grace.
177
Sometimes the right thing to do is to throw out the old schools of thought.
178
in the name of progress and reform.
179
Sometimes the right thing to do is to sit and listen to the wisdom of those who have come before us.
180
How will you know?
181
what the right choice is.
182
in these crucial moments.
183
You won't.
184
How do I give advice to this many people about their life choices?
185
I won't.
186
The scary news is You're on your own now.
187
But the cool news is, You're on your own now.
188
I leave you with this.
189
We are led by our gut instincts.
190
our intuition.
191
our desires and fears, our scars and our dreams.
192
And you will screw it up sometimes. So will I.
193
And when I do, you will most likely read about it on the internet.
194
Anyway, hard things will happen to us.
195
We will recover.
196
We will learn from it.
197
we will grow more resilient because of it.
198
and as long as we are fortunate enough to be breathing.
199
We will breathe in.
200
Breathe through.
201
Breathe deep.
202
and breathe out.
203
And I am a doctor now, so I know how breathing works.
204
I hope you know how proud I am.
205
to share this day with you.
206

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。
