I'll tell you the two best pieces of advice, maybe I’m breaking the rules, but you know, I break the rules.
我會告訴你們兩個忠告，也許我會打破常規，但你要知道，我不按規則辦事。
Go for it
大膽說吧
My father told me when I was going off to Yale for law school. And you know, he grew up in segregated South, he never thought he would see that. He was emotional about it, but he told me, "Kid, listen, when you get there, you’re gonna see there are two kinds of smart people. There are smart people that take very simple things and make them sound very complicated, so they can enrich themselves, and there are people who take very complicated things and make them sound simple to empower other people. And I want you to be that kind of smart kid when you come back home." That totally framed my approach to my legal education. I want to be able to explain these ideas to the ordinary people.
第一條是我父親在我去耶魯法學院求學時告訴我的。你也知道，他在種族隔離的南方長大，他絕不會想到會有這一天。他對此感慨萬千，但是他告訴我：“孩子，聽著，你到耶魯后會遇到兩種很聰明的人。他們很聰明，能把簡單的事情復雜化，這樣他們可以提高自己，他們也能把復雜的事情簡單化，這樣就提高了別人。我希望你下次回家時，就成為那種聰明的孩子。”這些話為我以后的求學塑造了方法。我希望自己能夠向普通人闡釋這些想法。
But the other advice I got was from my professor, who, when I was trying to choose between going to Yale for law school and working for the Associated Press. He said "Each choice you make, make the choice that gives you more choices." He says, "Cause life is about, when you’re first born, nobody knows what you’re gonna be,infinite possibilities. And then you presume ....
還有一個忠告來自于我的教授，他在我面臨抉擇，不知道是去耶魯的法學院求學還是去美聯社工作的時候告訴我說：“每做一次選擇，都要給你更多選擇的機會。”他說：“因為在你剛出生時，沒人知道你會長成什么樣的人，所以就有無限的可能。這就是生活。然后你假想......”
Life narrows choices
生活讓選擇變少
Yeah, that’s right, so my college professor told me that life narrows your choices, so if you have to make a choice, make the choice that gives you more choices. And that's obvious as well.
正是如此，我大學教授告訴我，生活讓選擇變少，所以你每做一次選擇，就要確保它給你更多選擇的機會。這個道理也是顯而易見的。
