Tim Cook- 'Be Fearless' - Duke University Commencement 2018 Speech

Aided by technology, every individual has the tools, potential, and reach to build a better world. That makes this the best time in history to be alive. Whatever you choose to do with your life, wherever your passion takes you. I urge you to take the power you have been given and use it for good. Aspire to leave this world better than you found it.

有了高科技的帮助，我们每个人都可以拿起工具，利用自己的潜能打造一个更美好的世界。这是一个最好的时代，无论你选择怎样对待自己的生活，也无论你将自己的激情燃烧在哪里。我希望大家能好好利用自己的力量，这个世界远远要比你想象得更美好。

I didn’t always see life as clearly as I do now. But I’ve learned the greatest challenge of life is knowing when to break with conventional wisdom. Don’t just accept the world you inherit today. Don’t just accept the status quo. No big challenge has ever been solved, and no lasting improvement has ever been achieved, unless people dare to try something different. Dare to think different.
我本人也并不是总是能够清晰的看清自己的人生，但我明白，人生最大的挑战就是拥有知道何时打破传统的智慧与勇气。不要只是一昧的接受今天你所生活的世界，不要安于现状。没有任何重大挑战得到解决，也没有取得任何持久的改善，除非人们敢于尝试不同的东西。敢于“不同凡想”。

I was lucky to learn from someone who believed this deeply. Someone who knew that changing the world starts with “following a vision, not a path.” He was my friend and mentor, Steve Jobs. Steve’s vision was that great ideas come from a restless refusal to accept things as they are. And those principles still guide us at Apple today.

我很幸运，能够从一位坚信这条理念的人那里学习很多东西。他之所以能够改变世界，就是因为他坚信要追随自己的理想，不能循规蹈矩。他就是我的朋友和导师，史蒂夫-乔布斯。史蒂夫觉得，伟大的思想来自于不安分的内心以及拒绝接受现有的规章制度。这些原则在今天依然指引着苹果的发展方向。
