I graduated from college exactly 20 years ago. And as I am reminded every single day where I work, that makes me really old. Mark Zuckerberg, our founder and my boss, said to me the other day, “Sheryl, when do midlife crises happen? When you’re 30?” Not a good day at the office. But I am old enough to know that most of our lives are filled with days we do not remember. Today is not one of them. You may not remember one word I say. You may not even remember who your graduation speaker is, although for the record, Sheryl with an S. You won’t remember that it was raining and we had to move inside. But you will remember what matters, which is how you feel as you sit here, as you walk across the stage, as you start the next phase of your life.
我从大学毕业已经20年了,到现在还能回忆起过去学习的每一天,这么一说发现自己真的老了。facebook的创始人马克?扎克伯格——当然也是我的老板曾问过我:“雪莉,中年危机什么时候爆发?三十岁吗?”那天我工作得不太开心。可随着年龄增长,我发现生命中的绝大部分日子开始变得模糊而无从记忆。但是今天,绝不是那些模糊日子中的一天。也许我现在说的话,你们今后一个字也想不起来;也许你们连在毕业典礼上发言人的名字都没记住;也忘记了因为下雨我们的典礼不得不搬到室内。但是你会记住那些对你来说更重要的事——坐在下面座位上的感受,走过讲台时心里的念头,以及生活即将开启新篇章时内心的激动澎湃与不安。
