活得誠實！別逼自己去做不是真正的你

So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies.
我的結論是，當我年輕時，對成功的定義不同，我認為我長大后要出名，要當明星，拍電影。當我長大后，我想要去看世界，開好車，有一群死黨。

But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure. To try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.
但今時今日，我對成功的定義變了。而當你逐漸長大后，你就會發現這點。對很多人來說，成功的定義是能灌下20杯龍舌蘭。對我來說，生命中最重要的是：活得真實！不要迫于旁人的壓力去做不真實的自己，要活得正直，有憐憫之心，在某些方面有所貢獻。

So to conclude my conclusion: follow your passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
因此，結論的結論是：追隨熱情，忠于自我，絕不要追隨別人的腳步，除非你在森林里迷路時看到一條路，那你一定是要跟上的。別給人忠告，這么做可能自找苦頭，別接受任何人的忠告。所以…我要給大家的忠告是：做真實的你，一切都會沒事的。
