英語美文名人勵志故事50:托尼.布萊爾在耶魯大學發(fā)表演講——珍惜現在，把握未來的故事（2）
50. Cherishing What You Have Now, and Striving for the Future (II)
50. 珍惜現在，把握未來(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，生活要有目標。生活不僅僅妥活著，而是要不斷追求。每天早晨起來時都要帶著一種動機。生活要時刻有緊迫感。而且在制定個人目標時，至少有一部分要超出個人能力范圍。
There are great careers. There are also great causes.
有偉大的事業(yè)，也要有偉大的理想。
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."
至少要讓其中的一部分理想融入你們的生活。給予可以提升，心靈，而索取在某種程度上永遠不可能做到?；蛟S真的像奧斯卡·王爾德所說的那樣：“渴望再多工作一天的人就永遠不會死去。”
One small but shocking sentence: each year three million children die in Africa from preventable disease or conflict.
有一句雖簡短卻很震撼的話：非洲每天有300萬兒童死于可預防性疾病和暴力沖突。
The key word? Preventable.
關鍵詞是什么呢?是“可預防性”。
When all is said and done, there is usually more said than done.
當談及言出必行時，人們通常都是說得多做得少。
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.
要做一個實千家而不是評論家。要勇于承擔責任，不要逃避退縮。人們經常問我關于領導力的事情;領導力就是知道必須有人站出來承擔責任，而且要努力成為那個人。領導者是勇于承擔責任而非逃避責任的人。
