What I know for sure

Somewhere deep within me,even when I was a teenager,I always sensed that something bigger was in store for me—but it was never about attaining wealth or fame.It was about the process of continually seeking to be better,to challenge myself to pursue excellence on every level.

What I know for sure:only when you make that process your goal can your dream life follow.That doesn’t mean your process will lead you to wealth or fame—in fact,your dream may be nothing to do with visible prosperity （n. 繁榮）and everything to do with creating a life filled with joy,one with no regrets and a clear conscience（n.良心）.The whole point of being alive is to become the person you were intended to be,to grow out of and into yourself again and again.

I believe you can do this only when you stop long enough to hear the whisper you might have drowned out,that small voice compelling you toward your calling.And what happens then?You face the biggest challenge of all:to have the courage to seek your dream regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.You are the only person alive who can see your big picture—and even you can’t see it all.

Move in the direction of your goal with all the force and verve you can gather—and then let go,releasing your plan to the Power that is bigger than yourself and allowing your dream to unfold（v.打開；逐層展現(xiàn)） as its own masterpiece.Dream big—very big.Work hard—very hard.And after you have done all you can,fully surrender to（臣服于）the power.

當我還是個十幾歲的孩子時，在內(nèi)心深處總覺得，有一種更大的東西在等著我。但那永遠不是坐擁多大家產(chǎn)，出多大名；而是一種不斷找尋的過程，尋求邁向更好，尋求挑戰(zhàn)自己，力爭每一階段都卓爾不凡。

我堅信：只有把這種過程當作目標，你夢想的生活才會隨之而來。這并不是說，這一過程會領著你發(fā)家成名。實際上，你的夢可能與那些看得見、摸得著的錦繡繁華無半點關聯(lián)；你的夢是要全力去創(chuàng)造一種生活，這種生活讓人滿心喜樂，不帶悔憾，清白無愧。活著的全部意義在于，成為你愿意成為的那種人，一次次成長，長成你自己。

我認為，要做到這一點，你只能停下腳步，好好地等，去傾聽那個可能已經(jīng)淹沒的細小的聲音，那個聲音會推著你，跟著自己的召喚往前奔。這時候又會發(fā)生什么？你會面臨最艱難的任務：不管別人怎么說、怎么想，拿出勇氣找尋你的夢。能看到你的人生圖景的只有你自己，而連你都不能看到全部景致。

朝著目標所在的方向往前奔吧，帶著所有能匯聚的力量和熱忱——然后放下一切，把你的計劃交到更加強大的命運手中，讓夢一層層展現(xiàn)，展現(xiàn)它的風范。要有遠大的夢想——非常遠大。要勤奮地工作——非常勤奮。盡人事，然后，聽天命。
