　　晨讀美文：如何走好人生下段征程?

　　摘錄：不要問自己世界需要什么，問問是什么讓你充滿活力地活著，然后就去做，因為世界所需要的就是一個個朝氣蓬勃的人。”

　　"Oh my goodness! I'm at Haaaaaarvard!" That's how Oprah Winfrey began her speech at Harvard University graduation ceremony—in her spirited, signature way. Winfrey also received an honorary Doctor of Law degree from the university before taking to the podium.

　　“OMG，我竟然在哈……佛!”奧普拉·溫弗瑞以這樣富有激情的標志性方式開始了自己在哈佛大學畢業典禮上的演講。上臺前，她還獲得了哈佛大學授予的榮譽法學博士學位。

　　Winfrey had plenty of inspiring words for the Class of 2013, and also touched on political issues like gun control, immigration, and public education. But the media mogul spent most of her 30-minute speech advising the new graduates on how best to navigate the next chapter of their lives. "My one hope today is that I can be a source of some inspiration," she said. "I'm going to address my remarks to anybody who's ever felt inferior, disadvantaged or screwed by life."

　　溫弗瑞用了許多勵志的話語鼓勵這批2013年畢業的學生，偶爾也談到槍支管制、移民、公共教育等一些政治話題。但是在30分鐘左右的演講里，這位傳媒大亨大部分時間都在告訴剛剛畢業的學生們如何走好人生的下一段征程。“我今天有個心愿，就是能帶給你們一些鼓舞，”她說，“我將要說的這些話獻給所有曾感到卑微、弱勢或生活一片狼藉的人。”

　　"It doesn't matter how far you might rise. At some point, you are bound to stumble. If you're constantly pushing yourself higher and higher, the law of averages predicts that you will at some point fall. And when you do, I want you to remember this: There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. Now, when you're down there in the hole, it looks like failure. When that moment comes, it's okay to feel bad for a little while. Give yourself time to mourn what you think you may have lost. But then, here's the key: Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are."

　　There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction.

　　世間并不存在“失敗”，那不過是生活想讓我們換條道走走罷了。

　　Learn from every mistake, because every experience, particularly your mistakes, are there to teach you and force you into being more who you are.

　　要從錯誤中吸取教訓，因為你的每一次經歷、尤其是你犯下的錯誤，都將幫助你、推動你更好地做自己。
