My dear college graduates. You have hopefully acquired a great deal of knowledge here over
Mis queridos graduados de la universidad. Habéis adquirido una gran cantidad de conocimientos aquí a lo largo de
these past years. But in life, knowledge is considerably less important than wisdom.
estos últimos años. Pero en la vida, el conocimiento es considerablemente menos importante que la sabiduría.
Here then are five ideas for your life.
He aquí, pues, cinco ideas para sus vidas.
1. The greatest struggle in your life should not be -- and, in fact, is not -- with society.
1. La lucha más grande de tu vida no debe ser - y, de hecho, no lo es - con la sociedad.
It is with yourself. This idea -- taught by every great religion -- is not taught today.
Es contigo mismo. Esta idea - enseñada por todas las grandes religiones - no se enseña en la actualidad.
Instead we are taught that we have to battle society -- its sexism, racism, prejudices and it's other flaws. The overwhelming temptation is therefore to see whatever problems you have
En su lugar se nos enseña que tenemos que luchar contra la sociedad - el sexismo, el racismo, los prejuicios y sus otros defectos. La tentación abrumadora es por tanto ver cualquier problema que tienes como procedente
as coming from society, not from within yourself. But in a free and decent society such as ours,
de la sociedad, no desde dentro de ti. Pero en una sociedad libre y decente como la nuestra,
it is our own flawed human nature -- not a flawed society -- that is our biggest problem.
es nuestra propia naturaleza humana imperfecta - no una sociedad imperfecta - nuestro mayor problema.
2. Use your common sense. For example, when you hear the words "studies show" --
2. Usa tu sentido común. Por ejemplo, cuando oigas las palabras "Los estudios muestran" -
outside of the natural sciences --
fuera de las ciencias naturales -
and you find that these studies show the opposite of what common sense suggests,
y encuentras que esos estudios demuestran lo contrario de lo que sugiere el sentido común,
be very skeptical. I don't recall ever coming across a valid study that
se muy escéptico. No recuerdo haber visto ningún estudio válido que contravenga
contravened common sense. For example, I was told when I was in college that "studies show"
el sentido común. Por ejemplo, me dijeron cuando estaba en la universidad que "los estudios demuestran"
that boys and girls are not inherently different; that they differ only because parents raise
que los niños y niñas no son intrínsecamente diferentes; que difieren sólo porque los padres los crían
them in a sexist manner. This was nonsense then, and it is even more nonsensical now
de una manera sexista. Esto era absurdo entonces, y es aún más absurdo ahora
since we have brain scans showing how different the male and females brains are.
ya que tenemos escáneres cerebrales que muestran cómo los cerebros de los hombres y las mujeres son diferentes
3. Race is unimportant. You've been taught that it is very important, but it isn't.
3. La raza es poco importante. Te han enseñado que es muy importante, pero no lo es.
The color of people's skin is as trivial as the color of their hair. Be guided by the idea
El color de la piel de las personas es tan trivial como el de su cabello. Guíate por la idea
of Viktor Frankl, the Jewish psychiatrist who suffered the horrors of a Nazi death camp
de Viktor Frankl, el psiquiatra judío que sufrió los horrores de un campo de exterminio nazi
and whose family was gassed. After the Holocaust, he was asked, "Do you hate the German race?"
y cuya familia fue gaseada. Después del Holocausto, se le preguntó, "¿Odias a la raza alemana?"
"No" he replied "I don't, there are only two races, the decent and the indecent."
"No", respondió "No, sólo hay dos razas, la decente y la indecente ".
Remember that truism, and you can never be a racist.
Recuerda eso, y nunca podrás ser un/a racista.
4. Beware of good intentions.
4. Cuidado con las buenas intenciones.
The 20th century was the bloodiest and cruelest century on record.
El siglo 20 fue el siglo más sangriento y cruel de la historia.
Why? Not because so many more people were bad, but because so many people believed
¿Por qué? No debido a que muchas más personas fueran malas, sino que muchas más personas creían
in bad ideas. Most Nazis and Communists in their time and Islamic terrorists in our time
en malas ideas. La mayoría de los nazis y comunistas en su tiempo y los terroristas islámicos en nuestro tiempo
were not/are not necessarily sadists; they were normal people who believed in bad ideas.
no eran/no son necesariamente sádicos; eran o son personas normales que creyeron en malas ideas.
So here is a quick way to measure if an idea is good. Do not -- I repeat, do NOT --
Así que aquí hay una forma rápida de medir si una idea es buena. No - repito, NO -
ask if it feels good or if it has good intentions. Ask will it DO good?
te preguntes si sienten bien o si tienen buenas intenciones. Pregúntate si van a hacer el bien.
Will it make people kinder and more ethical?
¿Va a hacer que la gente sea más amable y más ética?
Will it encourage responsible behavior? Has it been tried before and if so,
¿Va a animar a tener comportamientos responsables? ¿Se ha intentado antes, y si es así,
what were the results? What matters is how you act. If you do something bad,
cuáles fueron los resultados? Lo que importa es la forma de actuar. Si haces algo malo,
it is not important that you "meant well." And if you do something good, it doesn't matter if
no es importante que tengas "buenas intenciones". Y si haces algo bueno, no importa si
you did it for "selfish" reasons. So spend much less time monitoring your motives
lo hiciste por razones "egoístas". Así que pasa mucho menos tiempo observando tus motivos
and far more time monitoring your actions.
y mucho más tiempo tus acciones.
5. Judeo-Christian values are the real counterculture today. Many people think that dressing weird
5. Los valores judeocristianos son la verdadera contracultura de hoy. Mucha gente piensa que vestirse raro
or having their body tattooed or pierced is a statement of individuality or strength or
o teniendo su cuerpo tatuado o perforado se hace una declaración de la individualidad o la fuerza o
rebellion against the dominant culture. Not true. The ultimate statement of counterculture
rebelión contra la cultura dominante. No es cierto. La última declaración de la contracultura
and individual strength in America today is to take the God of Judaism and Christianity seriously.
y la fuerza individual de Estados Unidos hoy es tomar el Dios del judaísmo y el cristianismo en serio.
If you want to be an individual and to be strong, affirm a higher value system
Si quieres ser un individuo y ser fuerte, afirmar un sistema de valor más alto
that enables you to say no to the prevailing culture. When you know to whom you are accountable
que te permita decir no a la prevaleciente cultura. Cuando sabes a quién respondes
and when you march to the beat of that Higher Drummer,
y cuando marchas al ritmo de la batería de ese Ser Superior,
you will lead a more peaceful, happy and good life.
llevarás una vida más tranquila, feliz y buena.
Good luck to all of you.
Buena suerte a todos ustedes.
I'm Dennis Prager.
Soy Dennis Prager.
