I will hazard a prediction. When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story. Thank you and good luck!
我要冒險做一個預(yù)測。當你們在80歲時只有你一個人靜靜對內(nèi)心訴說著自己的人生故事時，其中最為充實、最有意義的那段講述，會被你們做出的一系列決定所填滿。最終，是選擇塑造了我們的人生。為你自己塑造一個偉大的人生故事。謝謝，祝你們好運！
