The rest is the year in front of us. And guess what?
此后一年間發生的事情我們已經熟知。
The same Generation Epsilon with their rules,
這一代人有著自己規則，
with their tools, with their games and with their language,
自己的工具，自己的游戲和自己的語言，
which sounds a little bit strange to me. I am 38 now.
這種語言對我來說有些奇怪。我今年38歲了。
And can you look at the age of the people on the streets of Europe?
再看看歐洲街頭示威人群的年齡組成？
It seems that Generation Epsilon is coming.
年輕一代正在走上政治舞臺。
Now let me set another example.
現在請允許我再舉一個例子。
I'm meeting different people throughout the world,
我與來自世界各地的很多人討論過這個話題，
and they are, you know, academics and professors and doctors, and they will always talk conditions.
學者、教授、醫生都有，他們都喜歡講條件。
They will say, People power will work only if the regime is not too oppressive.
他們會說，只有政權對于人民的壓迫過于深重的時候，人民的力量才會起作用。
They will say, People power will work if the annual income of the country is between X and Z.
他們還說：如果該國年人均收入在X和Z之間人民的力量才會起作用。
They will say, People power will work only if there is a foreign pressure.
他們說：只有外國施加壓力時，人民的力量才會起效。
They will say, People power will work only if there is no oil.
他們說，只有在不牽涉的石油的情況下人民的力量才會起效。
And, I mean, there is a set of conditions.
這些條件確實存在。
Well, the news here is that your skills that you bring in the conflict seem to be more important than the conditions,
然而，真正的重點是，應對沖突的技能似乎比這些條件更加重要，
namely skills of unity, planning,
它們分別是團結、規劃，
and maintaining nonviolent discipline.
和堅持和非暴力斗爭。
Let me give you the example.
請允許我再舉一個例子。
I am coming from a country called Serbia.
我來自塞爾維亞。
It took us 10 years to unite 18 opposition party leaders,
我們花了10年的時間才聯合18個自恃甚高的反對黨領袖，
with their big egos, behind one single candidate against Balkan dictator Slobodan Milosevic.
選出一個候選人對抗巴爾干獨裁者斯洛博丹·米洛舍維奇。
Guess what? That was the day of his defeat.
你猜結果怎樣？他的末日就此到來。
You look at the Egyptians, they fire on Tahrir Square,
再看埃及人，他們在解放廣場上示威時，
they get rid of their individual symbols.
去除了所有個人符號。
They appear on the street only with the flag of Egypt.
他們走上街頭時只帶著埃及國旗。
I will give you a counter-example.
請允許我再舉一個反例。
You see nine presidential candidates running against Lukashenko.
有9個候選人和盧卡申科競爭總總統職位。
You will know the outcome.
結果不言而喻。
So unity is a big thing, and this can be achieved.
因此，團結非常重要，而且也不難做到。
Same with planning. Somebody has lied to you about the successful and spontaneous nonviolent revolution?
事先計劃也是一樣。有人跟你提到過成功的自發非暴力革命？
