Your life story is an expression of who you are; the words you choose to use shape this story. Your words create the essence of your inner culture and the core of your identity and destiny.
你的生活故事就是你是谁的真实表现；你选择运用的词汇塑造了你的故事，你的词汇创造了你内在文化的本质和你身份与命运的核心。
Your ability to write a happy life story hinges on your language. It is your inner and outer verbal expression that makes your joy possible and that infuses your life with purpose, meaning and vitality.
你能否写出一个快乐的生活故事取决于你的语言。你内在和外在的言语表达使你变得快乐，而且将目标、意义、生命力注入你的生活。
So today I challenge you to say…
所以今天我希望你说……
1. I have a choice.
我可以选择。
It is not your talents or abilities, but your choices that ultimately decide your fate. You ARE your choices.
你的命运不是由你的天赋或是能力决定的，而是由你的选择决定了你最终的命运。你就是你的选择。
Until you can look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say, I have a choice. I am here now because of the choices I’ve made in the past, you will never be able to say, I choose differently.
直到你能看着镜子中的自己然后诚实地说，我可以选择，我现在能变成这样是因为我过去做的那些选择， 你才可能有资格说：我还有不同的选择。
2. Let’s get started!
我们开始吧！
You can’t build anything wonderful with ideas of what you are going to do someday. If you want something, you have to make a little noise, declare it and then get started.
光想你可能有朝一日要去实践的点子，你是无法成就任何精彩事业的。如果你想要什么，你必须要低调，公布你的决心然后就开始行动。
