We idealize icons and look up to heroes such as George Washington or 4)John Glenn. Yet we shouldn’t discount the heroes who labor outside the limelight. Those are the men and women who quietly go about the business of raising a family and taking care of their neighbors.

我们习惯于把偶像理想化，推崇像乔治·华盛顿或约翰·格伦这样的英雄。但我们不应该小看在聚光灯外苦干的众多英雄，他们就是那些默默地承担起赡养家庭和帮助邻居重任的男男女女。

The most admirable are ones who invent their own success. They know how to seize the moment and let the chips fall where they may. They know that the best way to measure success is by living each day to the fullest.

最值得钦佩的人是那些开创自身成功模式的人。他们知道如何抓住时机，不计较结果。他们知道衡量成功的最佳方式是充分把握每一天。

True success is giving something back. And you don’t have to have a lot in the wallet to attain it. There are many people, young and old, who give back by serving in literacy campaigns and soup kitchens.

真正的成功是予以回馈。你无须钱包厚实就能做到这一点。有很多人——有年轻的也有年长的——通过参加扫盲和救济活动作出了回馈。

As my father used to say: “Make sure you leave the world a better place than it was when you entered it. At least clean up after yourself.”
