Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择则颇为不易。如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
我认为自己不会为尝试过后的失败而遗憾，倒是有所决定但完全不付诸行动会一直煎熬着我。
Will inertia be your guide, or will you follow your passions?
Will you follow dogma, or will you be original?
Will you choose a life of ease, or a life of service and adventure?
Will you wilt under criticism, or will you follow your convictions?
Will you bluff it out when you're wrong, or will you apologize?
Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?
Will you play it safe, or will you be a little bit swashbuckling?
When it's tough, will you give up, or will you be relentless?
Will you be a cynic, or will you be a builder?
Will you be clever at the expense of others, or will you be kind?
你们是被惯性所引导，还是追随自己内心的热情?
你们会墨守陈规，还是勇于创新?
你们会选择安逸的生活，还是选择一个奉献与冒险的人生?
你们会屈从于批评，还是会坚守信念?
你们会掩饰错误，还是会坦诚道歉?
你们会因害怕拒绝而掩饰内心，还是会在面对爱情时勇往直前?
你们想要波澜不惊，还是想要搏击风浪?
你们会在严峻的现实之下选择放弃，还是会义无反顾地前行?
你们要做愤世嫉俗者，还是踏实的建设者?
你们要不计一切代价地展示聪明，还是选择善良?
