我至少把自己重塑过3次，每次都是以最快速度进行。刚创业时，我是一个寻梦者，一个32岁的年轻人在西雅图敲开潜在的投资者大门，为自己的企业计划筹集资金。之后，我成了一个创业者，创办了“天天”咖啡馆，接管了星巴克，打造了一个快速发展的公司。再之后，我成为一个专业的企业管理者，随着公司日益庞大，有越来越多的决定需要我授权给别人去做。今天，我是星巴克的领导者，一个有远见、斗志昂扬的领导者，是让火焰一直燃烧的人。

个在奋斗途径上努力的人，要是不把步骤分清楚，等于你旅行一个地方，不先规定睡眠和行程一般。分清步骤，是十分重要的。

Materials tell their own stories; we just have to listen.

材料讲述它们自己的故事，我们只需要倾听。

Now I want to take this opportunity to give you some advice. Over the course of your life, you will find that things are not always fair, you will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve, and that are not always warranted, but you have to put your head down, and FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Never ever ever give up, things will work out just fine. Look at the way I've been treated lately, especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this is great surety, has been treated worse, more unfairly. You can't let them get you down, you can't let the critics, and the naysayers get in the way of your dream. I guess that's why I won, thank you. I guess that's why we won. Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.

现在，我想趁这个给机会，给大家一些人生经验。漫漫人生路啊，你会发现并不总是公平的，你也会发现本不属于你的不可承受之重，却重重地压在你的身上，而且这些并非合理。但是，你必须低下头，并且抗争！抗争！抗争！永远永远不要放弃，一切终将变好。看看我是怎么被对待的，尤其是媒体对我的攻击。历史上没有一个政治家，我非常肯定地说，比我受到过更糟，更不公平的待遇。但是，你不能被他们打败，在你的人生的追梦路上，你不能被批评者和否定者绊住脚步。我想这就是为什么我赢了，谢谢，我想这就是为什么我们胜利了。逆境让你变得更加强大，不要屈服，不要退缩，不要停止做你认为正确的事情，一切值得做的事情。必定要经历诸多磨难，你所做的事情越正义，你受到的阻力就越大。我已经取得了巨大的成就，在很短的时间内成为了总统。
