We've talked about well-being, wisdom, and wonder And now, the last element of the third metric of success:

Empathy, compassion, the willingness to give back The founding fathers wrote about the pursuit of happiness

同理心 同情心 回馈的意愿开国元勋们曾写到过对幸福的追求

But if you go back to the original documents -- as I'm sure all of you Smithies have done --

你们可以回头看看原始文献我肯定所有史密斯人都这样做过

Happiness does not mean the pursuit of more ways to be entertained It's the happiness that comes from feeling good by doing good

幸福并不意味着对更多享乐的追求幸福应来自于做善事时的良好感觉

Of course many of you already know that Smithies have given back in countless ways, near and far:

当然 你们很多人早就知道这个无论远近 史密斯人都以无数方式进行过回馈

So as you leave this beautiful campus to follow your dreams and scale great heights in whatever profession you choose

在你们即将离开这所美丽的学校追逐自身梦想并在所选各行各业中勇攀高峰的今天

I beg you: don't buy society's definition of success

我请求你们不要轻信社会上关于成功的定义

Because it's not working for anyone It's not working for women, it's not working for men

因为它不适用于任何人它不适用于女性 不适用于男性

人物简介和演讲视频

人物简介

本视频是美国标杆政治博客新闻网站哈芬顿邮报创始人阿丽安娜·哈芬顿在史密斯学院2013年毕业典礼上的演讲。哈芬顿邮报是美国最受欢迎的五大新闻网站之一，也是全美最有名的政治博客网站。而史密斯学院是目前美国最大的女子文科私立院校。演讲中哈芬顿鼓励史密斯学院的女生们重新定义成功，发动人类历史上的第三次女性革命。哈芬顿认为成功除了金钱和权力两种当今社会普遍认识到的衡量方式以外，还应当引入第三种衡量方式，特别提到了健康也应当纳入到成功的定义中。演讲不断被学生的欢呼声所打断，整个演讲非常精彩。
