I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.

今天我很榮幸能來到這所世界頂尖學府之一的畢業典禮現場與大家相聚。

Truth be told I never graduated from college and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.

說實話，我從未大學畢業，而這是我最接近畢業的一次。

Today I want to tell you three stories from my life.

今天我想和大家分享三個我的人生故事。

That's it.

就這些。

No big deal.

沒什麼大不了的。

Just three stories.

只有三個故事而已。

The first story is about connecting the dots.

第一個故事關於串聯點滴。

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.

我在裡德學院讀了六個月就退學了，但之後又旁聽了大約一年半才真正離開。
