Life advice from Matt Damon（马特·达蒙）

First, you're going to fail sometimes, and that's a good thing. 

首先，你会经历失败，这并不是坏事。

For all the amazing successes I've been lucky to share, and few things have shaped me more than the auditions that Ben and I used to go on as young actors, where we get on a bus, we show up in New York, we wait for our turn, we cry our hearts out for a scene, and then be told, "OK, thanks." 

在我有幸取得的一些成就里，对我影响最大还是年轻时跟Ben一起参加试镜的经历。我们坐大巴到纽约，排队等待，然后表演一个痛哭流涕的镜头。最后等来的却是一句：“好的，非常感谢。”

Meaning: game over. We used to call it "being OK thanksed." Those experiences became our armor.

这意味着我们没戏了，我们称之为“谢谢参与”。这些经历成了我们的盔甲。

You know the real danger for MIT graduates? It's not getting "OK thanksed." The real danger is all that smoke that's been blown up your graduation gowns about how freaking smart you are. 

你们知道麻省理工毕业生真正的危机是什么吗？不是听到“谢谢参与”，而是你们顶着MIT的光环会让你们飘飘然。

Well, you are that smart! But don't believe the hype that's thrown at you. You don't have all the answers. And you shouldn't. And that's fine. 

你们或许真的很聪明，但不要自以为是。你不会凡事都能解决，这很正常。
