晨读美文：如何走好人生下段征程?

摘录：不要问自己世界需要什么，问问是什么让你充满活力地活着，然后就去做，因为世界所需要的就是一个个朝气蓬勃的人。”

"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!”奥普拉·温弗瑞以这样富有激情的标志性方式开始了自己在哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲。上台前，她还获得了哈佛大学授予的荣誉法学博士学位。

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."

温弗瑞用了许多励志的话语鼓励这批2013年毕业的学生，偶尔也谈到枪支管制、移民、公共教育等一些政治话题。但是在30分钟左右的演讲里，这位传媒大亨大部分时间都在告诉刚刚毕业的学生们如何走好人生的下一段征程。“我今天有个心愿，就是能带给你们一些鼓舞，”她说，“我将要说的这些话献给所有曾感到卑微、弱势或生活一片狼藉的人。”

谈失败的好处

"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.

世间并不存在“失败”，那不过是生活想让我们换条道走走罢了。

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

要从错误中吸取教训，因为你的每一次经历、尤其是你犯下的错误，都将帮助你、推动你更好地做自己。
