He was committed to lifelong learning.不仅如此，我希望你们每个人都记住伽利略，不必记住他讲的课，而是他的经验教训和人生。因为伽利略所有的发现和贡献都如此伟大，他的榜样其实很简单，也正是激励着他以自己的方式度过

You bet. And the chances are you will meet your share of detractors. And no doubt, you will encounter some

59、 failure along the way. But remember that Galileo was put under house arrest for his beliefs. People thought he was a heretic. Certainly if you take risks and come up short, it wont compare to that. Dont be afraid, get up, dust yourself off and move on.这些目标高远吗？这些梦想很大吗？这些使命冒险吗？这是肯定的。你们很可能会遇到贬低你们的人，毫无

60、疑问，在征程上，还会遇到失败。但是要记住：伽利略因为自己的信仰受到软禁，人们认为他是异教徒。当然了，如果你去冒险，而失败了，那与伽利略的遭遇也是无法比的。别害怕，爬起来，掸掉灰尘，继续前进。. The real mark of your character comes from not how you react to your successes, of which I know there will be many. How you react to your failures, of which there will be, if you are bold, a number in yo
