I urge you to take chances, experiment and understand that there is no single path forward in a meaningful life. There is just taking stock at each stage of your life, to make sure you are in a role that allows you to be the change you want to see in the world, and that every day, you are doing work that you actually love to do.

I have no idea what is the right amount of space in your head for you to keep for yourself and how much you owe the world. That’s for you to say. I don’t know what to tell you. Nobody does. You have all you need: You have minds of your own.

I hope that in this moment you all can find something, whatever that may be, to be excited about. Not to be corny, but passion for your craft really is one of the greatest things about a Princeton student.

Your lives are your move. The best people in life and history are the ones who take negative, even devastating, stimuli and formulate powerful, productive responses.

My own sense of well-being and purpose in the world. That comes from studying the world feelingly, with empathy in my work. It comes from staying alert and alive and involved in the lives of the people that I love and the people in the wider world who need my help.

The right side of history will always expect you to be brave. Expect bravery of the community around you, and bravery will show up. Expect fear and fear will rule the day.

My brilliantly promising Princetonians, pay attention. I can promise you this: pay attention, and attention will pay you back.

When you are 80 years old, and in a quiet moment of reflection narrating for only yourself the most personal version of your life story, the telling that will be most compact and meaningful will be the series of choices you have made. In the end, we are our choices. Build yourself a great story.

Please, class of 2023, make every day a good one. Make every day and everything you do. Be good. We need you as a nation to remember the mandate of this university: Princeton in the nation’s service and in the service of humanity.

In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack.

Live a life that would make your younger self proud, your older self grateful, even if it confuses everyone in between.

Your life matters—to the people you love and to the broader world. Fifty years from now, you will want to be able to look in the mirror and know that you did what you thought was right, in every part of your life. At the end of the day, your integrity is all you have. Guard it carefully.

At the heart of Princeton’s undergraduate and graduate degree programs is a commitment to inculcate a fierce independence of mind.

We just wanted to get together and celebrate a little today. We introduced our iBook and everybody loved it and the show was amazing.

在正式的邮件、书信、通告中,如不能确定具体收件人的身份或姓名,则可以用 “To whom it may concern” 来开头,它相当于汉语正式信件中的表达 “敬启者”、 “致有关人士”。

“A disruptive innovation” 的意思是 “一项颠覆性的创新”。它主要用来描述商业、科技等领域中给现有市场带来突破性变化的超前技术。“A disruptive innovation” 既可以指一个具有革新意义的产品,也可以指一种创新的行为模式。

“bask in your achievements” 指在取得成就或成功后,停下来细细品味内心的成就感、沉浸在成功的快乐中。

“Sweeten the deal” 的字面意思是 “让这笔交易更有甜头”。它很形象地描述了人们在买卖交易过程中,给买方一些甜头,一些好处,从而促成交易的行为。它也可以用来表示 “增加一项提议、方案或想法的吸引力”。
