Whatever happens happens now, so live your life where the action is — now. And one more thing: If you're going to be on television, don't call your friends and tell them to watch until after you've seen it.
不管發生什么事情，都只是發生在現在，所以要活在現在。我還要告訴你們一件事情，如果你將要錄制節目，在你看到這個電視節目前不要打電話告訴你的朋友。
Don't do anything that 30 years from now you'll look back at and say, "Oh, my God, why the hell did I do that?!" I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard someone start a sentence with, "If only, when I was younger, I would have...." So I did a little informal survey for you, and I found out that, amazingly, all these people had the same regret. When they graduated from college, sadly, they bought furniture.
第二，不要做任何會讓你在30年后回顧時說：“哦，我的天吶，我到底為什么會干出這種事情？”的事情。每次有人以這樣的句子開頭:“要是...多好，當我年輕的時候...，我們應該...”，我都希望能有5美元可以賞給他們。所以我為你們做了一點非正式的調查，并且發現，所有的這些人都有著同樣的遺憾。悲哀的是，當他們從大學畢業的時候，他們都買了家具。
This probably needs a little explanation. Right at this moment in your life, you are in a unique position that you may never ever be in again. You have nothing to lose. Everything you have acquired of value is locked inside you. If you have a dream, now is the time to pursue it, before you buy furniture.
這個可能需要稍作解釋。在你人生的這個時候，你處在一個對你來說也許是絕無僅有的獨特位置。你沒什么可以失去。你獲得的所有有價值的東西都僅僅鎖在你的內心。如果你擁有夢想，現在就去追隨夢想的時刻，在買家具之前先去實現你的夢想。
I was one of the lucky ones. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with no employable skills, unless you count jury duty. It meant I had to start from scratch and figure out where I fit in. I didn't have money, but I could afford to fail, and there were many failures. But I found out what I was good at. I found something I loved. And now I have furniture — lots of furniture.
我算是一個比較幸運的人。我從威斯康辛大學畢業卻沒有職業技能，除非你把做義務陪審員也算進去。那意味著我必須白手起家并且得弄清楚我適合什么行業。我沒有錢，但我可以承受失敗，而且失敗過很多次。但我找到了我所擅長的領域。我找到了我鐘愛的事業。并且現在我也有了家具，有很多家具。
