Find something you do good, something you really like to do, and be as good as you can at it.

找到你擅长的事情，找到自己真正喜欢做的事情，尽你所能地做好。

The best thing for anyone to do in the world is to figure out what they do best and do it the best that they can. Contribute to the world through your work.

To truly make an impression or impact, I can think of people who have non-profit organizations who help people and it's never about them. It's always about others. Maybe being a part of something bigger than yourself.

要真正地留下印象或影响，我会想到那些运营非营利组织帮助他人的人，这与他们无关。而是关乎他人。也许可以参与比你自己更重要的事情。

Everyday, just smile at other people and at strangers because smiling at one person will help them smile at other people, which will help them smile at other people, and then everyone will be smiling and that's literally⁵ all that matters.

每天都要向其他人和陌生人微笑，因为对他人微笑会让他们也对其他人微笑，然后这些人也会再向其他人微笑，这样一来所有人都会互相微笑，这是最重要的事情。
