Learn from every mistake - Oprah Winfrey

I will be honest with you. I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up with something that I could share with you that you hadn't heard before because after all you all went to Harvard, I did not. 

跟大家说实话，过去这几个星期我的压力很大，因为我想要跟你们分享一些，你们从没听过的东西，毕竟你们都上了哈佛，而我没有。

But then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go to Harvard to have a driven obsessive Type-A personality. But it helps. 

但后来我意识到，并不是非要上哈佛才能有一个强势的A型人格，当然上了哈佛还是有帮助的。

And while I may not have graduated from here I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they come. You know my television career began unexpectedly. 

虽然我不是哈佛毕业的，但我认为我的性格和哈佛的毕业生是一样。大家都知道，我的电视生涯开始的出人意料。

As you heard this morning I was in the Miss Fire Prevention contest. That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee, and you had the requirement of having to have red hair in order to win up until the year that I entered. 

正如你们早上听到的，我当时在参加“防火小姐”比赛。那年我16岁，在田纳西州的纳什维尔。那时候想赢的话，你必须得是红头发女孩。

So they were doing the question and answer period because I knew I wasn't going to win under the swimsuit competition. So during the question and answer period the question came "Why, young lady, what would you like to be when you grow up?" 

在进行问答环节时，因为我知道我在泳装比赛中不会赢，所以当问答环节问道：“年轻的女士，你长大后想做什么？为什么？”
