名校励志英语演讲 第78期:追随自己的心声,你们一定会成功
There's so many lesson in this, because at some point, something in life is going to eat you inside. It could be anger; it could be guilt; it could be past hurts or some other strain of soul eating bacteria. But graduates, I want you to know that if you can summon the courage of Monica George in the face of your own life's hardships, and you will have them, and if you can remember what good are you to anyone if you're miserable, I know for sure you'll be a huge success, because you are responsible for your happiness and you are responsible for the energy you bring to everyone.
这件事中蕴含了许多哲理。有时候，生活中的某一件事就可以把你毁掉，或许因为愤怒，或许因为罪恶，或许因为过去受过的伤，或许因为精神疲惫。但是毕业生们，我希望你们明白，如果你们记得整天像莫妮卡·乔治一样鼓起勇气直面人生的挫折;如果你们记得整天伤心对别人根本没有任何好处的话，我敢肯定你们定会大有作为，因为做到这些你们就做到了对自己的幸福负责，对给其他人所带来的影响负责。
One of my other favorite guests was a woman named Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, who's a brain scientist, who had a stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. She wrote a book called My Stroke of Insight. And so only the right hemisphere was working and when she was in the hospital as a patient, she said she could sense through her right brain when a nurse would come into the room and meant her well, or when the nurse was thinking about what time shew as going to be off that day. She could sense the energy that was brought into the room. And after a while, she put up a sign in the room that said to everyone who came in the room, you are responsible for the energy that you bring. I love that moment, because we are responsible for the energy that we bring to everyone we do in life.
我最喜欢的另外一位嘉宾是吉尔·博尔特·泰勒博士，她是位脑体科学家，同时她自己的左脑也受到过重创。吉尔写了一部书《我的重创观察记》。虽然只有右脑可以正常工作，但在住院期间，她说她能通过右脑很好地感知护士何时要来，对她做了什么，何时下班。她能感知到带入病房的任何能量。不久，她就在病房里贴了个牌子，告诉进病房的所有人：你们要对自己带进来的能量负责。我喜欢那一刻，因为我们要为生活中能够产生能量的所有行为负责。
