Listen to your internal whisper - Steven Spielberg

I can remember my own college graduation, which is easy, since it was only 14 years ago. How many of you took 37 years to graduate? 

我清楚记得自己的毕业典礼，因为它仅仅发生在14年前。你们有多少人是花了37年才毕业的？

Because, like most of you, I began college in my teens, but sophomore year, I was offered my dream job at Universal Studios, so I dropped out. I told my parents if my movie career didn't go well, I'd re-enroll. It went all right.

像你们大多数一样，我也是十几岁时开始上大学，但是我大二时获得了好莱坞环球影城的工作机会，这是我梦寐以求的，所以我就辍学了。当时我告诉我父母，如果我的电影事业发展得不顺利，我会重新入学。但我的电影事业进展的还不错。

But eventually, I returned for one big reason. Most people go to college for an education, and some go for their parents, but I went for my kids. 

最后，我因为一个很重要的原因而重返校园。大多数人上大学是为了教育，有人为了父母，但我是为了我的孩子。

I'm the father of seven, and I kept insisting on the importance of going to college, but I hadn't walked the walk. So, in my fifties, I re-enrolled at Cal State - Long Beach, and I earned my degree.

我是七个孩子的父亲，一直跟他们强调上大学的重要性，但我却没有上完大学。所以，在我50多岁时，我重新回到加州州立大学长滩分校就读，并且获得学位。
