So, I'd like to leave you with some specific advice that will hopefully keep you going:
所以，我想給你們一些更加具體的建議，希望能夠保持你們繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。

First, confidence really matters.
首先，信心真的很重要。

Recognize you have earned the right to be confident. Most of you have made great sacrifices and overcome great obstacles to get where you are today. You built up muscles that others who've had an easier time don't have. Those muscles will serve you for the rest of your life.
要認(rèn)識(shí)到你已經(jīng)贏得了自信的權(quán)力。你們中的絕大多數(shù)都是付出了巨大的犧牲，克服了巨大的障礙才有了現(xiàn)在的成就。你們有了其他起步更早的人所沒(méi)有的能力，這些能力將會(huì)在你們的余生為你們效力。

My struggle to get to and through college turned out to be an advantage for me. The disadvantages you have had become part of your personal history and track record, all advantages in your later life. So confidence is justified.
我進(jìn)入大學(xué)并讀完它的努力最終成為我的一個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)。你曾有的不足已成為你個(gè)人經(jīng)歷和職業(yè)紀(jì)錄的歷史，它們都會(huì)在之后的人生中變成你的優(yōu)勢(shì)。所以，你們有理由充滿信心。

Second, find a job that you like.
第二點(diǎn)，找到一個(gè)你喜歡的工作。

You'll be better at it and you'll last longer in it. Having said that, in a tough economy, or because of family pressures, you may not aways be able take a risk with a job choice. And, no doubt, we've all settled at various times.
你會(huì)做得更好，而且做得更長(zhǎng)。雖然是這樣說(shuō)，在一個(gè)艱難的經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)中，需要因?yàn)榧彝毫ψ龀鲆恍┳尣?，你并不是總能夠在職業(yè)選擇上承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。而且，毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)的是，我們將會(huì)很多次的妥協(xié)。

But, don't let necessity in a given moment become the excuse for a lifetime of inertia. Keep trying to get yourself to the right place. If I'd stayed a lawyer, I could have made it work for a while, but I would have fizzled out and eventually because I didn't love it.
但是，不要讓一時(shí)的必要選擇成為一生慣性的借口。要不斷試圖讓自己走到正確的地方。如果我繼續(xù)做一名律師，我可能會(huì)干得還不錯(cuò)，但是我不會(huì)輝煌，因?yàn)槲也⒉粣?ài)這個(gè)工作。

Third, be a well rounded, complete person.
第三，做一個(gè)全面、完整的人。

many of you will go for further education or career training. Of course, it's important to learn the things that you need to make a living. But, don't forget to read, and to learn history, literature and about current events.
你們中的很多人會(huì)繼續(xù)接受教育或者是職業(yè)培訓(xùn)。學(xué)習(xí)維持生計(jì)必須的東西當(dāng)然是很重要的。但是不要忘了閱讀，學(xué)習(xí)歷史，文化以及時(shí)事。

You'll be more interesting to others, more interesting to yourself and you'll be more successful in your job. Most of the books I've read didn't apply directly to my job or industry, but I've applied their lessons in unexpected ways.
你會(huì)變得更吸引人，對(duì)你自己也更加有趣，會(huì)在你的工作上更加成功。我讀過(guò)的絕大部分書(shū)對(duì)我的工作甚至這個(gè)行業(yè)都沒(méi)有直接的用處，但是書(shū)中的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)總會(huì)以意想不到的方式發(fā)揮作用。

Fourth, be involved in the community.
第四點(diǎn)，參與社區(qū)活動(dòng)。

Find ways to contribute to make yourself proud and set an example to your kids. making a living is not life. It is a means to an end, not the end. You have to feel proud of yourself. There are always going to be people who struggle and for whom community work is not a realistic option, but try.
找到可以讓你感到自豪的貢獻(xiàn)方式，為你的孩子們樹(shù)立榜樣。謀生并不是生活，只是達(dá)到目的的一個(gè)手段，而不是目的本身。你需要為自己感到自豪。總會(huì)有人需要為生計(jì)努力，對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)社區(qū)工作并不是一個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)的選擇，但是請(qǐng)努力嘗試。

I've done plenty to advance myself over the years. But, the older I get, the more satisfaction I get from serving and advancing others. In fact that's how I first got involved with President Mellow and LaGuardia -- through the 10,000 Small Businesses program we initiated at your school.
在過(guò)去的歲月里我做了很多事情來(lái)讓自己進(jìn)步。但是年紀(jì)越大，我越來(lái)越能夠從服務(wù)和幫助他人進(jìn)步中得到滿足。事實(shí)上，我最初結(jié)識(shí)麥羅校長(zhǎng)和拉瓜迪亞社區(qū)大學(xué)就是因?yàn)槲覀児餐l(fā)起的這個(gè)10000家小企業(yè)項(xiàng)目。

Finally, appreciate that life is unpredictable, so don't close your mind to possibilities.
最后，要明白人生是不可預(yù)測(cè)的，所以不要自我設(shè)限。

Try to surround yourself with people who are equally ambitious. Put yourself in situation where you can grow — where you'll not only push yourself but others will push you.
試試和那些一樣具有野心的人為伍，讓你置身于可以成長(zhǎng)的環(huán)境中——在那種你不僅僅可以讓自己進(jìn)步，其他人也會(huì)推動(dòng)你前進(jìn)的環(huán)境。

What were the chances that a kid from the poverty would run one of the great financial institutions in the world? You just never know. That unpredictability is the great thing about life. You change. The world changes.
一個(gè)從貧困小區(qū)長(zhǎng)大的孩子掌管世界上最大金融機(jī)構(gòu)的機(jī)會(huì)有多大？你永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)知道。不可預(yù)測(cè)性是生活最偉大的一點(diǎn)。你改變，這個(gè)世界也在改變。

You live in a country where we are still blessed with enormous opportunity. Leave yourself open to the world of possibility. You have the ambition, you have the smarts and you have the toughness. So, turn the page on your biography -- you have just started a new chapter in your lives.
你們生活在一個(gè)仍然擁有得天獨(dú)厚機(jī)會(huì)的國(guó)家。讓你自己對(duì)無(wú)限可能的世界敞開(kāi)胸懷。你們有野心，你們有智慧和堅(jiān)韌，所以，請(qǐng)翻開(kāi)自己的傳記——你們已經(jīng)打開(kāi)了人生的新一個(gè)篇章。

Good luck and congratulations to you and your families.
祝你們和你們的家人好運(yùn)，也祝賀你們和你們的家人。
