Doing Well by Doing Good助人者诸事顺

桑迪.格林伯格告诉我他把自己所有的积蓄都寄给了室友。他说：“你知道我别无选择。他成就了我的人生我需要帮助他创造他的人生。”
So I hope you’ll remember the power of doing well by doing good. Each of you in your own lives will be faced with challenges with roadblocks with problem that you didn’t anticipate or expect. How you are able to deal with adversity will be influenced to no small extent by how you deal with others along the way. What you get will depend a lot on what you give. And tha’s the end of the story of doing well by doing good.
因此我希望大家铭记“助人者诸事顺”这句话的力量。你们每个人在生活中都会遇到各种无法预料的挑战、障碍或难题而你们应对逆境的能力与一直以来你们待人如何有很大的关系。你们所的道德在很大程度上取决于你们所付出的。这就是关于“助人者诸事顺”的故事的结尾。
Ah! I almost forgot. You probably are wanting to know who Sandy’s roommate was. I think you’ve heard of him. Sandy’s roommate was a fellow by the name of Art Garfunkel and he teamed up with another musician by the name of Paul Simon. That $500 helped them cut a record that eventually became The Sounds of Silence. Recently I had the pleasure of going to Sandy’s daughter’s wedding ad it was who sang as Sandy walked his daughter down the aisle.
哦！我差点忘了你们很可能想知道桑迪的室友是谁吧？我向大家都听说过他。这位室友叫阿特.加丰克尔他与另一位叫保罗.西蒙的音乐家成立了一个组合。那$500帮助他们最终制作出一张唱片——《寂静之声》。最近我有幸参加了桑迪女儿的婚礼。当桑地陪女儿走向圣坛时正是阿特.加丰克尔为其演唱。
When you get to be my age(which for some of you is really old though it doesn’t seem so old to me anymore) you will find yourself beginning to ask did my life make a difference?
当你们到我这个岁数时（这个年纪对我来说并不算老但在你们其中一些人看来实在是垂垂老矣）你们会发现自己开始扪心自问：我的一生曾对别人有所助益吗？
That’s the day of personal reckoning. And I think the only way to face it is to consider every day of your life: How can I do something for somebody else? How can I give back to others? It may be teaching; it may be becoming a doctor; you may be successful in business­—­­no matter wht your career path there will present itself to be giving of your time giving of your money but mostly to be giving of yourselves of your own heart and soul.
