I know it sounds completely strange.

我知道這聽起來很奇怪。

How many students today get perfect scores on SATs?

如今有多少學生能在 SAT 考試中取得滿分？

How many students today get 4.0 GPAs?

如今有多少學生的 GPA 達到 4.0？

So many.

太多了

The volume of smart people coming out of school is insanely high.

從學校走出來的聰明人數量多得驚人。

And that is good.

這很好。

And the reason for that is because humans are becoming more and more intelligent, better and better skilled at, of course, physics, math, and the foundational sciences and arts and philosophies.

究其原因，是因為人類變得越來越聰明，越來越擅長物理、數學、基礎科學、藝術和哲學。

That's completely true.

完全正確。

And so you're going to be competing against a very large number of insanely intelligent people.

是以，你將與一大批聰明絕頂的人競爭。

And every company is founded by insanely intelligent people.

而每家公司的創始人都是聰明絕頂的人。

And we're surrounded by insanely intelligent people.

而且我們周圍都是聰明絕頂的人。

And so the question is, why do some people lead and others less so?

那麼問題來了，為什麼有的人能起帶頭作用，而有的人卻不能？

And why do some people stand out and achieve such incredible things?

為什麼有些人會脫穎而出，取得如此不可思議的成就？

And this is one of those things where you're blessed to have been raised Chinese.

能被華人扶養長大是你的福氣。

One of the characteristics of Chinese, of course, is the ability to tolerate long-term pain and suffering.

當然，華人的特點之一就是能夠忍受長期的痛苦和折磨。

If you've been raised by a Chinese parent, you have enjoyed a lot of pain and suffering.

如果你是由華人父母撫養長大的，那你一定吃了不少苦頭。

Isn't that right?

對不對？

And so, in fact, the ability to endure pain and suffering is called grit.

是以，事實上，忍受痛苦和磨難的能力被稱為 "勇氣"。

G-R-I-T.

G-R-I-T。

Grit.

勇氣

It is now recognized as one of the most important characteristics of successful people.

現在，它已被公認為成功人士最重要的特徵之一。

And so I wish upon you a life-long...

是以，我祝願你們終生......

plenty of pain and suffering.

大量的痛苦和折磨。
