All I
can tell you today is what I have learned. What I have discovered as a person
in this world. And that is this: you can’t do it alone. As you navigate through the rest of your life,
be open to collaboration. Other people and other people’s ideas are often
better than your own.
* navigate: to plan or conduct a journey,
especially by ship or aircraft

The small boat had difficulty navigating the high waves.

The cat managed to navigate through all the toys our son had left on the
floor.
* be open to: to be willing to consider
or do something
ex>
Do you think the new neighbors would be open to joining us for coffee?
*
collaboration: 협력
Find
a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them,
and it will change your life. No one is here today because they did it on their own.
* on one’s own: without any other people:
ex>

stormed out.
Your formative teenage years were filled with orange
alerts and rogue waves and
unaccomplished missions. For my generation, it was AIDS. We all grow up afraid
of something. Your generation had to get used to taking off your shoes at the
airport.

an individual or group was attaining their final form
ex>
The design studio struggled during its formative years, but became
highly successful.

orange alert: 오렌지 경보

weirdo: 괴짜

rogue wave: 거대한 파도
