50. Cherishing What You Have Now, and Striving for the Future (II)
50. 珍惜现在，把握未来(2)
All Above all, however, have a purpose in life. Life is not about living but about striving. When you get up, get up motivated. Live with a perpetual sense of urgency. And make at least part of that purpose about something bigger than you.
然而，最重妥的是，生活要有目标。生活不仅仅妥活着，而是要不断追求。每天早晨起来时都要带着一种动机。生活要时刻有紧迫感。而且在制定个人目标时，至少有一部分要超出个人能力范围。
There are great careers. There are also great causes.
有伟大的事业，也要有伟大的理想。
At least let some of them into your lives. Giving lifts the heart in a way that getting never can. Maybe it really was Oscar Wilde who said: "No one ever died, saying if only I had one more day at the office."
至少要让其中的一部分理想融入你们的生活。给予可以提升，心灵，而索取在某种程度上永远不可能做到。或许真的像奥斯卡·王尔德所说的那样：“渴望再多工作一天的人就永远不会死去。”
One small but shocking sentence: each year three million children die in Africa from preventable disease or conflict.
有一句虽简短却很震撼的话：非洲每天有300万儿童死于可预防性疾病和暴力冲突。
The key word? Preventable.
关键词是什么呢?是“可预防性”。
When all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.
当谈及言出必行时，人们通常都是说得多做得少。
Be a doer not a commentator. Seek responsibility rather than shirk it. People often ask me about leadership, I say: leadership is about wanting the responsibility to be on your shoulders, not ignoring its weight but knowing someone has to carry it and, reaching out for that person to be you. Leaders are heat-seekers not heat-deflectors.
要做一个实千家而不是评论家。要勇于承担责任，不要逃避退缩。人们经常问我关于领导力的事情;领导力就是知道必须有人站出来承担责任，而且要努力成为那个人。领导者是勇于承担责任而非逃避责任的人。
