為什麼把自己的潛能發揮到極致，為什麼要成為理想中的自己，為什麼要儘可能地多掙錢，儘可能地分享，多多學習技能，多多接觸人，參加各種學習班，為什麼要做這麼多，分享這麼多，付出這麼多，為什麼想要一覽世間的美好，為什麼要嘗試去做所有事情，為什麼想要成為無所不能的人，這真是一個好問題。
And you're the only one personally that can answer that question for yourself, you've got to have your own list of whys. Here's what I want you to do when you go home after you've left this extravaganza, work on your list of whys. One of the big thrust for success is to come up with a strong enough why.
這個問題只有你自己能回答，你需要有自己的「為什麼」清單。在這次演講結束回到家之後，我希望你這樣做：找到自己的「為什麼」清單。能提出「為什麼」才是成功的巨大推動力。
If the why is powerful, the how is easy. But if the why isn't strong, if your goals aren't powerful, if the vision isn't clear, the old prophet said, without a vision, we die, without a vision, we perish, without a dream, we’re nothing. From the movie the professionals, I listen to Bill Haren give his testimony yesterday, from the movie the professional, it said we joined because we believed, we stayed because we were committed, we left because we were disillusioned, but we came back because we were lost. Without a dream, we are nothing.
如果清楚地知道「為什麼」，那麼「怎樣做」就簡單多了。如果我們不清楚自己的動因，目標就會很弱。如果視野不清晰，就像古老的先知說的那樣，沒有目標我們就會死亡，就會凋零，沒有夢想的話，一切都無從談起。就像電影《The Professional》男主角Bill Haren說的那樣：因為信念我們聚在一起，因為承諾我們留了下來，因為醒悟所以我們離開了，但因為我們迷失了所以我們又回來了。沒有夢想，我們將一無是處。
