演講摘錄

Never try to be better than someone else, always learn from others. Never cease trying to be the best you can be.

不要和別人比較,但要向他人學習,別停止淬鍊出最好的自己,

 

I coined my own definition of success, which is: Peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable.

我對成功的定義是,因為知道自己已拚盡全力達到最好的成果,對自身感到滿足,最終獲得的心靈平靜。

 

I believe that's true. If you make the effort to do the best of which you're capable, trying to improve the situation that exists for you, I think that's success, and I don't think others can judge that

我相信那是真的。如果你努力達到能力所及的極限,試著改善你現狀,那就是成功,而且沒有人可以替你評斷。

 

Cervantes said, "The journey is better than the end." And I like that. I think that it is — it's getting there. Sometimes when you get there, there's almost a let down. But it's the getting there that's the fun. As a basketball coach at UCLA, I liked our practices to be the journey, and the game would be the end, the end result.

《唐吉訶德》作者塞萬提斯說過:「旅程比終點更好。」我很認同這個說法,我認為那是一種越來越接近終點的感覺,雖然有時到達終點,迎接你的都是失望,但逐步前進的過程仍是最棒的部分,身為UCLA的籃球教練,我喜歡把我們的練習看作旅程,而比賽將是終點。
