to 不定詞

the shoddy systems and the people who refuse to do better,

劣質體制，以及拒絕做更好的人，

as a writer, as a speaker, as a shady Nigerian --

我是個作家、演說家、 名聲不好的奈及利亞人──

I feel like my purpose is to be this cat.

我覺得我的人生目的是要做這隻貓。

（笑聲） 〔至高無上斜眼看人之藝術家〕

I am the person who is looking at other people,

我這種人在看其他人的方式是：

I want us to leave this world better than we found it.

我要我們在離開這個世界時， 它變得比我們發現它時更好。

by being the first and by being the domino.

which then leaves the other choiceless to do the same.

它就會讓其他骨牌 沒有選擇只能跟著倒下。

the next person that sees this is inspired to be a domino.

下一個看見這狀況的人 能夠被鼓舞，也去成為骨牌。

Being the domino, for me, looks like speaking up

對我而言，身為骨牌， 就像是大聲說出來，

and doing the things that are really difficult,

with the hope that others will follow suit.

且心懷希望，希望他人會跟進。

And here's the thing: I'm the person who says

what you might be thinking but dared not to say.

把你可能只敢想不敢說的話 說出來的人。

A lot of times people think that we're fearless,

認為做這些事的人是無所懼的。

What happens is, we feel like we have to,

實情是，我們覺得我們必須要做，

because there are too few people in the world

too few people willing to take that fall.

I knew exactly what I wanted to be when I grew up.

我很清楚我長大之後要做什麼。

我會說：「我將來要當醫生！」

I was Doc McStuffins before it was a thing.

在《小醫師大玩偶》 紅起來之前我就在演它了。

my freshman year, I had to take Chemistry 101

第一年，我得為我的主修醫學院預科

I got the first and last D of my academic career.

我得到了我學術生涯中的 第一個和最後一個 D。

because this doctor thing is not going to work,

And that same semester, I started blogging.

同一個學期，我開始寫部落格。

So as that one dream was ending, another was beginning.

當一個夢想結束後， 另一個夢想又開始了。

And then what was a cute hobby became my full-time job

本來只是個可愛的嗜好， 2010 年我丟了行銷工作之後，

這個嗜好就變成了我的全職工作，

But it still took me two more years to say, "I'm a writer."

但我又花了兩年， 才能說出：「我是個作家。」

Nine years after I had started writing, before I said, "I'm a writer,"

從我開始寫作一直到我說出 「我是個作家」，一共花了九年，

因為我害怕沒有了 401k 退休福利計畫

without, "How am I going to keep up my shoe habit?

沒有「我要如何維持買鞋的習慣啊？

So it took me that long to own this thing

我花了那麼長的時間才能承認那就是

of keeping us from doing and saying the things that are our purpose.

能讓我們不去做、不去說 我們人生的目的。

I'm not going to let fear dictate what I do."

我不要讓恐懼來規定我要做什麼。」

And then all of these awesome things started happening,

接著，很棒的事情開始接連發生，

So when I realized that, I was like, "OK, 2015,

當我發現時，我說： 「好，2015 年，

it's going to be my year of 'Do it anyway.'

這年就是我的 『無論如何就去做』年。

Anything that scares me, I'm going to actively pursue it."

任何讓我害怕的事物， 我就要主動去追求它。」

I decided to take my first-ever solo vacation,

我決定要第一次一個人單獨渡假，

and it was out of the country to the Dominican Republic.

且是要出國，到多明尼加共和國。

I went ziplining through the forests of Punta Cana.

我去玩鋼索飛行， 穿越蓬塔卡納的森林。

And for some odd reason, I had on business casual.

因為很奇怪的理由， 我穿著商務便裝。

Also, I don't like being submerged in water.

So I went to Mexico and swam with dolphins underwater.

所以我去墨西哥， 和海豚在水面下游泳。

And then the cool thing that I did also that year
