So Class of 2009, thats what building a body of work is allabout. Its about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices,large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lastinglegacy. Thats what you want on your tombstone. Its about not beingsatisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because theone thing I know about a body of work is that its never finished. Itscumulative. It deepens and expands with each day that you give yourbest, each day that you give back and contribute to the life of yourcommunity and your nation. You may have setbacks and you mayhave failures, but youre not done. Youre not even getting started, notby a long shot.

因此,2009 届的毕业生们,那就是关于创建事业我所想要说的。它是关于日复一日的劳动,繁细众多的行动,慎重的选择,是大大小小能够日积月累,甚而累积一生并最终成为永久遗产的因素。那就是你们所希望铭刻在你们墓碑上的东西。它不是满足于你们已有的成就,已有的荣誉。因为据我所知,创建事业的工作是永无止境的。它是与日俱增的,是随着你每天尽心尽责地工作,推迟和反对改革的借口屡见不鲜。由于有人热衷于在华盛顿玩弄一时的权术而不是将人民利益放在首位,因此,美国人民一再饱受煎熬。最终导致我们保费的增速是工资增速的3 倍,企业在削减福利和破产之间徘徊,而失控的成本和巨大的保险缺口已经使我们不堪重负。
