Your intelligence, your capacity for hard work, the education you have earned and received,
你们的智慧,你们努力工作的能力,以及你们所受到的教育,
give you unique status, and unique responsibilities.

Even your nationality sets you apart.

The great majority of you belong to the world's only remaining superpower.

If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice;
如果你选择利用自己的地位和影响,去为那些没有发言权的人发出声音;
if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless;
如果你选择不仅与强者为伍,还会同情帮扶弱者;
if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence,
如果你会设身处地为不如你的人着想,那么你的存在,将不仅是你家人的骄傲,
but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped transform for the better.
更是无数因为你的帮助而改变命运的成千上万人的骄傲。
We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside oursel
