Now Emma's story made that sound easy, but that's what I love about working with twentysomethings.
Emma的故事讓這件事聽起來非常簡單，但這就是我喜歡和二十幾歲的人工作的原因。
They are so easy to help. Twentysomethings are like airplanes just leaving LAX, bound for somewhere west.
要幫助他們實在太容易了。二十幾歲的人就像剛離開洛杉磯國際機場的目的地在西邊某地的航班。
Right after takeoff, a slight change in course is the difference between landing in Alaska or Fiji.
起飛之后，航線的一個小調整就是落在阿拉斯加還是落在斐濟的區別。
Likewise, at 21 or 25 or even 29, one good conversation, one good break, one good TED Talk,
同理，在21歲或者25歲甚至是29歲時，一個好的聊天，一次好的休息，一個好的TED演講，
can have an enormous effect across years and even generations to come.
可以對接下來的幾年甚至是幾代人有非常大的影響。
So here's an idea worth spreading to every twentysomething you know.
這里給出一個值得傳播給每個你認識的二十幾歲的人的想法。
It's as simple as what I learned to say to Alex.
它和我學到的該跟Alex說的話一樣簡單。
It's what I now have the privilege of saying to twentysomethings like Emma every single day:
它就是現在我有權利每天對像Emma一樣的二十幾歲的人說的話：
Thirty is not the new 20, so claim your adulthood, get some identity capital, use your weak ties, pick your family.
30歲不再是新的20歲，所以把握好你的成年時期，積累一些身份資本，利用你的微弱聯系并且選擇好你的家庭。
Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do.
別被你不知道的事或者沒做的事定義。
You're deciding your life right now. Thank you.
現在，你就在決定你的生命。謝謝。
