Those are the folks who inspire me. People ask me sometimes, who inspires you, Mr. President? Those quiet heroes all across this country -- some of your parents and grandparents who are sitting here -- no fanfare, no articles written about them, they just persevere. They just do their jobs. They meet their responsibilities. They don't quit. I'm only here because of them. They may not have set out to change the world, but in small, important ways, they did. They certainly changed mine.
正是这些人激励着我。人们有时问我,总统先生,是谁激励着你?是这个国家各地那些默默耕耘的英雄——今天在座的你们一些人的父母和祖父母——他们不张扬,没有文章报道他们,他们只是坚持不懈。他们只是做好本职工作。他们履行自己的责任。他们不放弃。正是因为有他们我才站到这里。他们或许并没有从一开始就要改变世界,但他们以一点一滴的重要方式,改变了世界。他们无疑改变了我的世界。
So whether it’s starting a business, or running for office, or raising an amazing family, remember that making your mark on the world is hard. It takes patience. It takes commitment. It comes with plenty of setbacks and it comes with plenty of failures.
因此,无论是创办一家企业、 竞选公职、还是抚养一个美好的家庭,请记住:要在这个世界上留下你的影响不是一件轻而易举的事情。它需要耐心。它需要投入。随之而来的是大量挫折,以及无数次的失败。
