Not a small topic this is， finding happiness.But in some ways I think it"s the simplest of all.Don"t live for yourself alone.This is what I know for sure：AIn order to be truly happy， you must live along with and you have to stand for something larger than yourself.Because life is a reciprocal exchange.To move forward you have to give back.And to me， that is the greatest lesson of life.To be happy， you have to give something back.
I know you know that， because that"s a lesson that"s woven into the very fabric of this university. BIt"s a lesson that Jane and Leland Stanford got and one they"ve bequeathed to you.Because all of you know the story of how this great school came to be， how the Stanfords lost their only child to typhoid at the age of 15.CThey had every right and they had every reason to turn their backs against the world at that time， but instead， they channeled their grief and their pain into an act of grace.Within a year of their son"s death， they had made the founding grant for this great school， pledging to do for other people"s children what they were not able to do for their own boy.
The lesson here is clear， and that is， if you"re hurting， you need to help somebody ease their hurt. lf you"re in pain， help somebody ease pain.And when you"re in a mess， you get yourself out of the mess helping somebody out of theirs.And in the process， you get yourself become a member of what I call the greatest fellowship of all， the sorority of compassion and the fraternity of service.
The Stanfords had suffered the worst thing any mom and dad can ever endure， yet they understood that helping others is the way we help ourselves. And this wisdom is increasingly supported by scientific and sociological research.It"s no longer just woo-woo soft-skills talk.There"s actually a helper"s high， a spiritual surge you gain from serving others.So， if you want to feel good， you have to go out and do some good.
But when you do good， I hope you strive for more than just the good feeling that service provides. So， whatever field you choose， if you operate from the paradigm of service， I know your life will have more value and you will be happy.

AI forget the author， but one many years ago， you know， uttered that famous saying，“The coward dies a thousand deaths， but the brave man dies but once.”In other words， you can live happily if you have courage， because you are not fearing something that you can"t help.
You must have courage to look at all about you with honest eyes—above all， yourself. Well， I failed miserably there， I hurt someone"s feelings needlessly， I lost my temper—which you must never do except deliberately.
Look at your country. Here is a country of which we are proud.But this country is a long way from perfection—a long way.We have the disgrace of racial discrimination， or we have prejudice against people because of their religion.We have crime on the docks.We have not had the courage to uproot these things， although we know they are wrong.
BNow， that courage is not going to be satisfied—your sense of satisfaction is not going to be satisfied， if you haven"t the courage to look at these things and do your best to help correct them， because that is the contribution you shall make to this beloved country in your time. Each of us， as he passes along， should strive to add something.
It is not enough merely to say I love America， and to salute the flag and take off your hat as it goes by， and to help sing the Star Spangled Banner. Wonderful！We love to do them， and our hearts swell with pride， because those who went before you worked to give to us today， standing here， this pride.
And this is a pride in an institution that we think has brought great happiness， and we know has brought great contentment and freedom of soul to many people. But it is not yet done.You must add to it.

我忘了是谁说的了，但是很多年前，有这样一句名言，“懦夫死一千次，而勇士只死一次”。
BNow， that courage is not going to be satisfied—your sense of satisfaction is not going to be satisfied， if you haven"t the courage to look at these things and do your best to help correct them， because that is the contribution you shall make to this beloved country in your time.
现在，如果你们缺乏勇气去正视和尽力解决这些问题，你们的勇气将无法证实，你们的满足感也无法获得。
这是一句含有条件状语从句的复合句。主句是your sense of satisfaction is not going to be satisfied。if you haven"t……in your time是if引导的条件状语从句。
