选自美国著名女作家安娜•昆德林（Anna Quindlen）在维拉诺瓦大学（Villanova University）获得荣誉博士之后在毕业典礼上的演讲。她分享了自己对真正生活的理解。
Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money you would have spent on beers and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Be a big brother or sister. All of you want to do well. But if you do not do good, too, then doing well will never be enough.
深切体会生活的美好，并与他人分享，把你打算花在啤酒上的钱捐给慈善机构，在施食处帮忙，做小朋友的大哥哥大姐姐。你们都想把事情做好，但如果你们做的不是有意义的事，那么仅仅把事情做好是不够的。
