3 :: Because You Think You Are Smarter Than You Are
第三宗罪：因为你自觉十分聪明。
Because you did what everyone else did; you studied what they studied and read what they read.
因为别人干什么你就干什么，别人学什么你就学什么，别人读什么书你也依葫芦画瓢读同一本。
Because you learned what you had to learn in order to pass their tests and you think that makes you smart.
因为你学习是为了通过考试，通过既定的考试又让你觉得自己很聪明。
Because you think learning is only something people do in schools.
因为你觉得学习那是只发生在学校里的事。
Because while you were away at college, I was studying life; because instead of learning about the world in a classroom I went out and learned it by living.
但你读大学的时候，我正在学习人生；我选择不在教室里学习这个世界，而是真正闯进去，活在真实世界里，以此为我的课堂。
Because I know more than any piece of paper you could ever frame from a university. Because smart is not what you learn, it’s how you live.
因为我懂的，远比任何一张文凭赋予的都多。因为聪明从来都不是学来的，聪明是从生活中来的。
Because I might not have a degree but I challenge you to find a topic that I can’t talk to you about cohesively.
也许我没有文凭，但我打赌，你找不出任何一个让我哑口无言的话题。
Because I could pass your tests if I had to, but you couldn’t stand for a single second in the face of the tests that life has thrown me. Tests that are not graded on a bell curve or by percentages; tests that are graded by one simple stipulation: survival!
你的所谓考试，如果有必要去考，那我也能考过，但我所经历的生活的考试，你连一丁点儿通过的机会都没有。生活的考试，从不依据什么贝尔曲线、通过率来评分，生活的考试有且仅有那么一条评分依据：生存！
