Fed Chair Ben Bernanke has given his 2nd commencement speech of the season. Today he delivered a speech to graduates of Princeton, where of course he was an econ professor before becoming Fed chair. His speech is short and simple, offering 10 pieces of advice and wisdom to the graduates.
美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席本·伯南克日前給出了他本季度第二次畢業(yè)典禮演講。今天他在普林斯頓大學(xué)為畢業(yè)生演講,在就任美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席前,伯南克曾在普林斯頓就任經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)教授。他的演講簡(jiǎn)短扼要,給畢業(yè)生們提出了十條建議和經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
Here's a summary of the 10 pieces of wisdom from Bernanke.
以下是對(duì)伯南克提出的十條建議的總結(jié):
1.Almost everyone ends up along a different life plan than they intended. You can try to map out your life, but it probably won't end up that way.
幾乎每個(gè)人最終的人生軌跡都與他的規(guī)劃不同。你可以嘗試規(guī)劃你的生活,但也要做好準(zhǔn)備可能結(jié)果與計(jì)劃不同。
2.That being said, it's still wise to think about goals, and the people you want to be around.
即便如此,你還是需要好好考慮自己的目標(biāo),想清楚將來(lái)你希望在怎樣的人身邊。
3.A meritocratic system is the best, but no system is truly meritocratic. And within meritocratic systems, many are successful due to pure luck (i.e. background, upbringing) and so those successful have a duty to work for the betterment of everyone.
精英體系是最好的,但沒(méi)有體系是真正的精英主義的。在精英體系內(nèi),很多人成功是因?yàn)榧兇獾倪\(yùn)氣(即背景、教養(yǎng)),所以那些成功者有義務(wù)讓其他人生活得更好。
4.The people who best use their advantages, or overcome adversity, and work honestly are those most worthy of admiration.
那些最善于利用優(yōu)勢(shì)或克服逆境,以及能誠(chéng)實(shí)工作的人是最令人敬佩的。
5.Cynicism is bad.
憤世嫉俗不可取。
6.Economics isn't good for predicting the future, but it can help people to avoid horrible, illogical ideas.
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)并不能有效地預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái),但它可以幫助人們避免不合邏輯的糟糕想法。
7.Money matters, but making big decisions based just on money is a bad move.
錢很重要,但將重大的決定建立在對(duì)金錢的考慮上是不明智的。
8.Failure is essential. If your uniform isn't dirty, you weren't part of the game.
失敗必不可少。如果你的制服一點(diǎn)不臟,就說(shuō)明你沒(méi)有參與到比賽過(guò)程中來(lái)。
9.In picking a life partner, think beyond beauty and sexual attraction.
在選擇生活伴侶方面,請(qǐng)考慮美麗和性吸引力之外的品質(zhì)。
10.Call your parents.
多給你的父母打電話。
