  Wow!...Whoo!
  I have to say thank you to People’s Choice and Walgreens. My sister—I brought her up here because it’s a team effort, and it started with us—give her a hand. This is Julia, my big sister.
  This…this all started, like I said, back home in our church, where we grew up. My mother always taught us that with…without family you have nothing, and, whether you know it or not, we all are family, and what happens with the other happens to us, so it’s very important to make a difference. And for me as a kid, all it took was—I don’t even know what star it was that came to my school—and I looked and I said “Wow, if they did it, then I mean I can do it too.” And so that’s what we want to instill in our children, to let them know that, “You know what, if I did it, you can do it too,” because we’re all so quick to say“we can’t” or “Hmm it happened to them, but it’ll never happen to me.”Yes, I am a witness, it can happen to us all. And it’s one thing to be a celebrity and have power, it’s only so much we can have, but it means nothing if we’re not making a difference, we’re helping someone else, trying to change a life. Thank you.
  And it…it…it also feels good to see positivity acknowledged. Where we come from, all you hear about is who shot who, what, who went to jail, and we want to show them it’s starting at home in Chicago, and…and hopefully worldwide, one day to just make a difference in every child’s life. But they only know, you know, they’re only exposed to negativity, and we want to show them, “Look, I came from the same area as you, and if I can do it, you can do it too, so it does not stop there.” You know, and I always say, “There’s more to life than the block you live on.”
  And lastly, we want to dedicate this to our mother, who tied our shoe, again, without family you have nothing, and my brother, who was the most giving. If he’d barbeque, he’d barbeque for the whole neighbourhood. Julia and Jennifer, we are riding it out, and we know that they are proud of us, so thank you all, and we love you. Thank you People’s Choice, and thank you Walgreens. Thank you.
  哇!……哇!
  我要感谢人民选择奖和沃尔格林。我带着姐姐上来,因为这是我们共同的努力,是我俩牵的头,来,给我姐姐朱丽娅鼓鼓掌。
  像我说的,一切从家乡我们长大的教堂开始。我妈妈总告诉我们,家就是一切,无论你怎么想,我们都是一家人,别人的痛就是我们的痛,因此,帮助别人非常重要。小时候,有个明星来我们学校——我都不知道那是谁——我看着那人,对自己说:“如果他们能成功,我也能行。”这就是我们想要孩子们相信的,要让他们知道,“你们知道吗,既然我能做到,那么你们也能。”因为我们总是妄自菲薄,或觉得成功是别人的,不会发生在自己身上。没错,我就是见证者,人人都能成功。当明星、有影响力是一回事,我们能做到的很有限,但如果我们不能有所作为,帮助别人,改变其他人的命运,那我们的影响力就毫无意义。谢谢。   看见正能量受到肯定真是太棒了。在我们的家乡,你能听到的消息尽是谁又开枪打了谁,谁又进了监狱。我们想让他们知道,改变就从芝加哥的家开始,希望有一天我们可以让全世界的每个孩子过得更好。但孩子们只知道那些,你们知道,他们接触到的都是些消极面,我们想告诉他们:“你们看,我们来自同一方土地,如果我能做到,你也行。成功并不属于我一个人。”你们知道,就像我一直说的那样:“在你所处的街区之外,还有更广阔的天地。”
  最后,要把这个奖献给我们的母亲,是她养育了我们。我再次重复她的话,她说,没有家庭的人一无所有。这个奖也献给我们最慷慨大方的哥哥。如果他做烤肉,他会烤给所有的邻居吃。朱丽娅和珍妮佛,我们熬过来了。我们知道他们很为我们骄傲。谢谢你们,我们爱你们。感谢人民选择奖,感谢沃尔格林,谢谢。

提起伊朗或者中东,在你脑海中首先会浮现出怎样的画面?认真想想的话,这种谈“伊”色变的印象不也正是一种地图炮吗?伊朗裔美国人马兹·乔布拉尼是一位有名的喜剧演员,他在TED大会上与大家分享了自己这种被成见包围的喜感人生。这篇讲话与其说是演说,不如说更接近于一段精彩的单口相声,让人捧腹之余不禁有所反思……  正如大家所知,身为一个伊朗裔美国人,这本身就会带来一系列的问题。这两个国家最近的关系可不太好,这

什么是社会企业呢?初步搜刮得出它有三大特征:  第一,社会企业是为解决社会问题而生。他们关注着从贫困、教育、环保到社会治安、医疗卫生各个方面的急切需求。  第二,运用商业模式,企业化运作,注重创新,他们对资源进行有效使用,而非聚敛财富。  第三,关注人,关注人的成长和内心体验。无家可归的人需要的不是纸糊的简易棚,而是一座他们参与建造的温暖房屋。  这答案可能颇显公式化,大家还是没闹明白社会企业究竟
