演讲文本

I know a famous violinist who told me that he can't compose.
我认识一位小提琴家，他告诉我他无法作曲。
Because he knows too many pieces, so when he starts thinking of the note, an existing peace immediately comes to mind.
因为他懂得太多曲目，所以当他想到音符的时候，现有的曲目会立刻出现在他脑海里。
Just starting out one of your biggest strengths is not knowing how things are supposed to be.
刚开始时，你最大的长处之一就是不知道事情该是怎么做的。
You can compose freely because your mind isn't cluttered with too many pieces.
你的头脑中没有塞满曲目，所以可以自由地创作。
And you don't take for granted the way things are.

There's no doubt about that.
这是毋庸置疑的。
Each time you set out to do something new,
每次你动手做新事时，
your inexperience can either lead you down a path where you will conform to someone else's values,
你的无经验要么引领你走上一条遵循他人价值的路，
or you can forge on path even if you don't realize that's what you're doing.
要么会让你创造属于自己的路，即便在你不知道的情况下。

If your reasons are your own.

Your path, even if it's a strange and clumsy path, will be wholly yours.
你的路，即使是奇怪而坎坷的路，也将会完全属于你自己。
And you will control the rewards of what you do by making your internal life fulfilling.

It's a cliche, because it's true that helping others ends up that helping you more than anyone.

Getting out of your on concerns, and caring about someone else's life for a while,
