I remember my stepbrother and I went to go see "Top Gun," whatever year that came out. And I remember we walked out of the mall, it was, like, blazing hot, I just looked at him, and we both felt that movie just like a calling from God. You know? Just ... But completely differently. Like, I wanted to be an actor. I was like, I've got to make something that makes people feel. I just want to be a part of that. And he wanted to be in the military. That's all we ever did was play FBI, play army man, play knights, you know, and I'd like, pose with my sword, and he would build a working crossbow that you could shoot an arrow into a tree. So he joins the army. Well, he just retired a colonel in the Green Berets. He's a multidecorated combat veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq. He now teaches a sail camp for children of fallen soldiers. He gave his life to his passion. His creativity was leadership, leading others, his bravery, to help others. That was something he felt called to do, and it gave back to him.
我记得和我的继兄/弟在《捍卫战士》上映的那一年去电影院看这部电影，我记得我们走出购物中心，外面非常热，我看着他，我们都觉得那部电影就像是神的召唤——怎么形容呢，应该说我们的感受其实截然不同。我想要成为演员，想要创造让人有共鸣的东西，我就是想要参与。而他想从军。我们那时玩的就是扮演联邦调查局、军人、骑士，我拿着剑摆姿势， 而他打造了能用的十字弓，朝树木射箭。所以，他入伍了。他才刚以上校的身分从特种部队退役，是个得过许多勋章的退伍军人，参与过阿富汗和伊拉克的实战，现在执教于为阵亡将士子弟所办的航海营。他的一生都在追随他的热情。他的创造力是领导能力，领导他人，以他的勇气去帮助他人。他觉得那是他的天职，这份工作也回馈了他。

We know this -- the time of our life is so short, and how we spend it -- are we spending it doing what's important to us? Most of us not. I mean, it's hard. The pull of habit is so huge, and that's what makes kids so beautifully creative, is that they don't have any habits, and they don't care if they're any good or not, right? They're not building a sandcastle going, "I think I'm going to be a really good sandcastle builder." They just throw themselves at whatever project you put in front of them -- dancing, doing a painting, building something: any opportunity they have, they try to use it to impress upon you their individuality. It's so beautiful.
我们都知道，人生很短，我们要如何利用好这短暂的人生？我们有把时间花在对我们来说最重要的地方吗？大部分人并没有。我的意思是，那很难。习惯的拉力非常大，那就是为什么孩子相当有创造力，因为他们尚未建立任何习惯，他们也不在意自己做得好不好。他们在堆沙堡时并不会说： “我认为我将来会成为很棒的沙堡建造者。”他们就只是单纯投入到面前的事情当中——舞蹈、绘画、建造某样东西，只要他们有机会，他们的个体性就会让你印象深刻。那很美。

It's a thing that worries me sometimes whenever you talk about creativity, because it can have this kind of feel that it's just nice, you know, or it's warm or it's something pleasant. It's not. It's vital. It's the way we heal each other. In singing our song, in telling our story, in inviting you to say, "Hey, listen to me, and I'll listen to you," we're starting a dialogue. And when you do that, this healing happens, and we come out of our corners, and we start to witness each other's common humanity. We start to assert it. And when we do that, really good things happen.
每当谈到创造力时，我有时会担心这一点，因为它会有一种很好的感觉，让人觉得很温暖或很愉悦。其实不然。它是必要的，是我们疗愈彼此的方式。借由唱出我们的歌，说出我们的故事，邀请你，说：“嘿，听我说，我也会听你说，”此时我们才开启了对话。你这么做，疗愈就开始了。我们会走出自己的角落，开始见证彼此共同的人性，开始维护它。当我们这么做时，好事就会发生。

So, if you want to help your community, if you want to help your family, if you want to help your friends, you have to express yourself. And to express yourself, you have to know yourself. It's actually super easy. You just have to follow your love. There is no path. There's no path till you walk it, and you have to be willing to play the fool. So don't read the book that you should read, read the book you want to read. Don't listen to the music that you used to like. Take some time to listen to some new music. Take some time to talk to somebody that you don't normally talk to. I guarantee, if you do that, you will feel foolish. That's the point. Play the fool.
因此，如果你想要协助你的族群、家人，如果你想要协助你的朋友，你就得表达自己。若要表达自己，就得认识自己。那其实超级简单，你只要追随所爱。我们面前原本没有路，你得要迈开步伐，才会走出一条路，而你必须愿意扮傻子。别去读你 “该” 读的书，去读你 “要” 读的书。别听你习惯听的那些音乐，花点时间听一些新的音乐。花点时间和你平常不互动的人交谈。我保证，如果你这么做，你就会觉得自己很蠢。而那恰恰就是重点：扮演一个傻子。
