:高盛CEO讲述穷困经历：要与野心人为伍

　　第四点，参与社区活动。

　　Find ways to contribute to make yourself proud and set an example to your kids. making a living is not life. It is a means to an end, not the end. You have to feel proud of yourself. There are always going to be people who struggle and for whom community work is not a realistic option, but try.

　　找到可以让你感到自豪的贡献方式，为你的孩子们树立榜样。谋生并不是生活，只是达到目的的一个手段，而不是目的本身。你需要为自己感到自豪。总会有人需要为生计努力，对他们来说社区工作并不是一个现实的选择，但是请努力尝试。

　　I’ve done plenty to advance myself over the years. But, the older I get, the more satisfaction I get from serving and advancing others. In fact that’s how I first got involved with President Mellow and LaGuardia — through the 10,000 Small Businesses program we initiated at your school.

　　在过去的岁月里我做了很多事情来让自己进步。但是年纪越大，我越来越能够从服务和帮助他人进步中得到满足。事实上，我最初结识麦罗校长和拉瓜迪亚社区大学就是因为我们共同发起的这个10000家小企业项目。

　　Finally, appreciate that life is unpredictable, so don’t close your mind to possibilities.

　　最后，要明白人生是不可预测的，所以不要自我设限。

　　Try to surround yourself with people who are equally ambitious. Put yourself in situation where you can grow — where you’ll not only push yourself but others will push you.

　　试试和那些一样具有野心的人为伍，让你置身于可以成长的环境中——在那种你不仅仅可以让自己进步，其他人也会推动你前进的环境。

　　What were the chances that a kid from the poverty would run one of the great financial institutions in the world? You just never know. That unpredictability is the great thing about life. You change. The world changes.
