徐小平纯英文毕业演讲:生命因给予而繁盛

导读:副标题#e# 知道我为什么成功了吗? 来源| 真格基金(ID:zhenfund) 作者 |徐小平 成功的秘诀是什么?勤奋,坚毅,聪颖,好运气……可能都是必备要素之一。但 40 岁才见事业起步的徐小平老师有自己的成功秘诀。 30 年前,他来到加拿大萨斯喀彻温大学,获得全额

满怀着挚爱之情,我想起我的研究生导师 David Kaplan 博士的仁爱胸怀。认识他的人,都会感到认识他是一种幸运。他是音乐系的创始人。对于我们外国留学生而言,他是淙淙流淌的友谊、帮助和鼓励的源泉。Kaplan 博士是我生命中一盏明灯,指引着我像他帮助我一样去帮助别人。

With special affection, I recall the generous spirit of Dr. David Kaplan. If you knew him, it was a privilege.  He was the founder of the music department. To many foreign students, he was a source of constant help, friendship, and encouragement. Often in my life, Dr. Kaplan’s example has shined before me, a reminder to share with others as he shared with me.

学校给予我的一切是如此美好,但校园外的生活可并不总是那么阳光明媚。毕业不久我就意识到,做一名音乐人难以维持生计。人们虽然喜欢听莫扎特和巴赫的音乐,但他们并不急着聆听我的演奏(笑声)。我成立了自己的音乐公司,但公司生意惨淡。我谱写并录制民谣,但它们只在谣言里存在(笑声)。

I received so much from the University in those years, but life beyond campus was not nearly as forgiving. Upon graduation, it didn't take long for me to realize that I would not make my fortune as a performing musician. As much as the world loves the sounds of Mozart and Bach, the world was not waiting to hear them from my violin. I started my own music business, but business was slow. I wrote and recorded folksongs, but the folks were not listening.

这段时间对于我来说的确是举步维艰。我在家看孩子,靠我妻子教书养家。我也尝试做过各种各样的工作,其中一种工作,对速度节奏和交割时效要求极高——在座如果有人在 1995 年叫过必胜客披萨的外卖,我们很可能曾经有缘相逢(笑声)。

It was truly a difficult period for me. I watched our children at home while my wife taught school. I took various jobs, including one job that involved fast-paced and time-sensitive transactions. If anyone here received a delivery from Pizza Hut in 1995, there is a good chance we have met before.

如果能够避免,我不建议大家刻意去经历这样一段时期。不过,有时候这种事情确实也无法避免。但它不应该成为休止符,它甚至可能是“大器晚成”的预兆,就像我自己的经历一样。即使在我最艰难的日子里,我也从未失去自我,没有丧失信心。我屡战屡败,但屡败屡战。我深信,天降大任于斯人,我来到世界,尚有使命未达,更有好梦未成。我不会让失败带走我的信念。
