Most importantly， make friends and be happy。 College friends are often the best in life， because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family。 Also， going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience。 Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you。 Don’t worry about their hobbies， grades， looks， or even personalities。 You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years， so trust your instinct， and make new friends。 You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend， so be confident， outgoing， and pro-active。 If you think you like someone， tell her。 You have very little to lose。 Give people the benefit of the doubt； don’t stereotype and be forgiving。 People are not perfect， so as long as they are genuine and sincere， trust them and be good to them。 They will give back。 This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them （unless they do something to lose my trust）。 Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of。 They are right， but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained。 In my last 18 years leading people， I have realized that only one thing matters ?
最重要的是在大學裡你要交一些朋友，快樂生活。大學的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友，因為在大學裡你和朋友能夠近距離交往。另外，在一塊兒成長，一起獨立，很自然地你們就會緊緊地系在一起，成為密友。你應該挑選一些真誠誠懇的朋友，跟他們親近，別在乎他們的愛好、成績、外表甚至性格。你在高中的最後兩年已經交到了一些真正的朋友，所以盡可以相信自己的直覺，再交一些新朋友吧。你是一個真誠的人，任何人都會喜歡跟你做朋友的，所以要自信、外向、主動一點，如果你喜歡某人，就告訴她，就算她拒絕了，你也沒有損失什麼。以最大的善意去對人，不要有成見，要寬容。人無完人，只要他們很真誠，就信任他們，對他們友善。他們將給你相同的回報，這是我成功的秘密--我以誠待人，信任他人（除非他們做了失信於我的事）。有人告訴這樣有時我會被占便宜，他們是對的，但是我可以告訴你：以誠待人讓我得到的遠遠超過我失去的。在我做管理的18年裡，我學到一件很重要的事--要想得到他人的信任和尊重，只有先去信任和尊重他人。無論是管理、工作、交友，這點都值得你參考。
要和你高中時代的朋友保持聯繫，但是不要用他們來取代大學的友誼，也不要把全部的時間都花在老朋友身上，因為那樣你就會失去交新朋友的機會了。
Start planning for your summers early ?
你還要早點開始規劃你的暑假--你想做什麼？你想呆在哪兒？你想學點什麼？你在大學裡學習是否會讓你有新的打算？我覺得你學習藝術設計的計畫很不錯，你應該想好你該去哪兒學習相應的課程。我們當然希望你回到北京，但是最終的決定是你的。
Whether it is summer-planning， or coursework planning， or picking a major， or managing your time， you should take control of your life。 In the past， I have helped you quite a bit， whether it is in college application， designing your extracurricular activities， or picking the initial coursework。 I will always be there for you， but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat – this is your life， and you need to be in control。 I will always remember the exhilarating feeling in my life – that I got to decide to skip kindergarten， that I got to decide to change to computer science major， that I got to decide to leave academia for Apple， that I got to decide to go to China， that I got to decide to go to Google， and most recently， that I got to decide to start my own business。 Being able to decide means you get to live the life that you want to。 Life is too short to live the life others do or others want you。 Being in control feels great。 Try it， and you’
