Happy graduation! 5 tips for new grads on living a successful life: http://t.ted.com/jrBPDf8

總結一下剪輯，要找到自己的目標，定義自己的成功，而不要追隨社會給予的定義。這第一步對大多畢業生來說也許就會感到迷茫。礙於教育制度，我們只想著如何得到更高成績(或及格的成績)，而缺乏時間去探索什麼才是自己想要的。

那麼，先由你的專業科目或興趣往前走走看吧，之所以為探索，就是對真相的輪廓一概不知。想想看你能奉獻的價值在哪裡，這一路走來，一定會遇到很多困難，會有很多人出面阻擾你(和幫助你)。只要能從中學習，都不算是冤枉路。

現在的我們一定還不夠好，追求目標的同時，要常常檢視自己是不是也同時在成長。如此一來，我們能給予的價值，必定會隨著能力而越來越大。最後，不要讓害怕和憂慮綁住你的行動，勇敢的往前走吧!


From English Side:
想要練聽力，TED talk演講是很好的題材，實際應用聽力的好機會。除了大部分都有演講稿，演講的主題很廣泛，內容傳遞的訊息很有力，引人深思。透過字幕的隱藏和不同語言的字幕，反覆聆聽，長久下來，對聽力應該有很大的幫助。也可以順便學習演講的技巧和口語的措辭，一舉多得，當然，這個剪輯沒有字幕，幫大家把片段字幕擷取在下面，有興趣的人可以看看和你聽到的，有沒有差不多。Highlight的部分都可以直接是座右銘了! 哈

Advice for new grads on living a successful life.

1. When you start something, stick with it. (堅持到底)

Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years, and working really hard to make that future a reality.

2. Figure out what success means to you. (定義自己的成功)

Thing about a successful life is, a lot of the time, our ideas of what it would mean to live successfully are not our own. They are sucked in from other people. We should focus in on our ideas and make sure that we own them, that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions.

3. Start living the life you want now. (擁有自己的目標)

Do something that adds value to who you are. Do something that's an investment in who you might want to be next.  Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You're deciding your life right now.

4. Use what you have to help others. (盡你所能幫助別人)

Don't wait. Don't wait until you make your first million to make a difference in somebody's life. If you have something to give, give it now. Serve food at a soup kitchen. Clean up a neighborhood park. Be a mentor. Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody's life, but every day offers us an opportunity to affect one. So get in the game.

5. Fake it until you become it. (勇敢去做吧!)

This is what you're going to do. You are going to fake it. You're going to do every talk that you ever get asked to do. You're just going to do it and do it and do it, even if you're terrified and just paralyzed and having an out-of-body experience, until you have this moment where you say, 'Oh my gosh, I'm doing it. Like, I have become this. I am actually doing this.'"
