2、蒂姆·库克（Tim Cook）, 苹果公司CEO
The sidelines are not where you want to live your life. The world needs you in the arena. There are problems that need to be solved. Injustices that need to be ended. People that are still being persecuted, diseases still in need of cure. No matter what you do next, the world needs your energy. Your passion. Your impatience with progress. Don’t shrink from risk. And tune out those critics and cynics. History rarely yields to one person, but think, and never forget, what happens when it does. That can be you. That should be you. That must be you.
球场边缘并不是你们的生活重心。世界需要你们在球场中心。现在有很多问题等待你来来解决。公平需要你们来伸张；还有人得到不公平的审判，仍然有疾病没有得到攻克。无论你们未来做什么，世界需要你们注入能量。你们激情、以及你们对进步的渴望。不要因为有风险而退缩，不要再乎那些批评之声和愤世嫉俗之言。历史不会向个人屈服，但是要思考，不要忘记历史屈服于个人时会有什么样的情况。你可能就是这样的人。你也应该是这样的人。你也必须是这样的人。
