　　I think the great one of the greatest compliments 1 I've ever received: I interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago. And then many years later, I saw the same reporter. And she said to me, "You know what? You really haven't changed. You've just become more of yourself."

　　我记得我所受到的最高的赞扬之一是：刚在芝加哥开始工作时，我采访了一个记者。很多年以后我们又见面了。她对我说：“你知道吗？你一点也没有变，你只是越来越像你自己了。”
　　And that is really what we're all trying to do, become more of ourselves. And I believe that there's a lesson in almost everything that you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It's how you enrich 2 your spirit. And, trust me, I know that inner wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
　　这就是我们一直努力在做的，去做我们自己。我坚信你们会从自己做过的每一件事情上，每一次经历上学到经验，这样你们才能取得进步。也只有这样你们的心灵才能更加丰富。相信我，内在的智慧比外在的财富更加珍贵。你运用智慧越多，你得到的也会越多。
　　So, today, I just want to share a few lessons--meaning three--that I've learned in my journey so far. And aren't you glad? Don't you hate it when somebody says, "I'm going to share a few," and it's 10 lessons later? And, you're like, "Listen, this is my graduation. This is not about you." So, it's only going to be three.
　　今天我想和大家分享我人生中的三个教训。你们难道不觉得高兴吗？当有人对你们说：“我只是想和你们分享很少的一些”，但事实上随后却是10个教训，你们不觉得反感吗？你们肯定在想：“听着，这是我的毕业典礼，又不是你的。”因此我今天只和大家分享三个教训。
　　The three lessons that have had the greatest impact on my life have to do with feelings, with failure and with finding happiness.
　　这三个教训对我的人生产生了很大的影响，它们是感觉、失败和追求幸福。
　　A year after I left college, I was given the opportunity to co-anchor the 6 o'clock news in Baltimore, because the whole goal in the media at the time I was coming up was you try to move to larger markets. And Baltimore was a much larger market than Nashville. So, getting the 6 o'clock news co-ancor job at 22 was such a big deal. It felt like the biggest deal in the world at the time.
　　我离开大学一年后，我在巴尔的摩得到了一个和别人共同主持6点钟新闻的机会。我那时在传媒界的全部目标就是进入到更广阔的市场中，而巴尔的摩是一个比纳什维尔大得多的市场，因此在22岁时得到这份工作对我来说是件天大的好事，是巨轮上最了不起的事情。
