Inspiration and Resilience in Life
记住，任何值得做的事 都绝非易事。
你会经历糟糕的时刻， 但你必须热爱自己所做的事，
如果你不热爱，
那就去做别的事。
永远坚持捍卫你的价值观。
永远热爱你的国家。
而且
最重要的事情之一是，永远 永远不要放弃。
永远不要放弃。
然后问问自己，
你将留下怎样的印记
在历史的沙滩上？
未来的美国人
会怎样评价
我们在短暂的时光里
在地球上所做的一切？
我们是否冒过险？
我们是否敢于挑战预期？
我们是否挑战过
公认的智慧，
并向既有的
体系发起挑战？
在我短暂的华盛顿岁月中，
我亲眼见证了这个体制 是如何崩坏的。
一小群失败者自以为 他们无所不知，
无所不晓，
想告诉所有其他人 该如何
生活、做事和思考。
但你们不会让别人 告诉你们
该相信什么，尤其是 当你知道自己是对的。
我知道你们每个人
都会成为一名战士
为真理而战，
为我们的国家而战
也为你们的家人而战。
我知道你们每个人都会做 正确的事，而不是走
轻松的路，
你们会忠于自己
忠于你们的国家
忠于你们的信念。
请记住，任何值得去做的事
从来、从来、从来都不容易。
坚守你们的信念
意味着你们必须愿意面对 那些人的批评，他们
缺乏勇气或胆量
或毅力
无法承受并付诸行动。
这就叫做
少有人
走过的路。

Original transcript (English)
Remember that nothing worth doing is ever easy. You'll have bad moments, and you gotta love what you're doing, and if you don't, just do something else. Keep standing up always for your values.
Keep loving your country. And one of the most important things, never, ever quit. Never quit. Then ask yourself,
what imprint will you leave in the sands of history? What will future Americans say we did in our brief time
right here on Earth? Did we take risks? Did we dare to defy expectations? Did we challenge accepted wisdom
and take on established systems? In my short time in Washington, I've seen firsthand how the system is broken. A small group of failed voices who think they know
everything and understand everyone want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do and how to think. But you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe, especially when you know that you're right.
I know that each of you will be a warrior for the truth, will be a warrior for our country and for your family.
I know that each of you will do what is right, not what is the easy way, and that you will be true to yourself and your country and your beliefs.
Remember this, nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. Following your convictions means you must be willing to face criticism from those who lack courage or the guts
or the stamina to take it and to do it. It's called the road less traveled.
