妙语连珠

At times it may have seemed like the road ahead was an impossible slog. But today, I have the distinct（明显的）honor of telling you, you have made it. You only have another half an hour ago, incredible. Now that you're here, I want you to do another thing: Find a way to say “Yes” to things. Say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. Yes is how you get your first job and your next job. Yes is how you find your spouse（配偶）and even your kids. Even if is a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, make a difference in your life-and likely in others' lives as well. Yes lets you stand out in a crowd, to be the optimist（乐观主义者）, to stay positive, to be the one everyone comes to for help, for advice, or just for fun. Yes is what keeps us all young.
