女王陛下要求我组建新一届政府，我已接受了这一要求。

在谈论新政府之前，请允许我先说一些最近发生的事情。与十年前相比，这个国家在国内更加开放，对外更富有同情心，我们应该为此心存感激。

代表这个国家，我想对长期致力于公共服务的前任首相表达赞扬之情。

就未来而言，我们的国家有一个无论任何党派都不占绝对优势的议会。我们还面临着一些深刻而迫切的问题——巨大的财政赤字、深刻的社会问题和需要改革的政治体制。

针对这些因素，我计划在保守党和自由民主党之间建立一个合适而完善的联盟。我相信，这是能够为我们国家提供强大的、稳定的、良好的和合宜的政府的正确途径。而且我认为我们非常需要。

尼克·克莱格和我都是想撇开党派分歧，为公众利益和国家利益而努力工作的政党领导人。我相信这是我们能够得到我们今天需要的强大的、果断的政府的最好途径。

1704973406
我之所以从政是因为我热爱这个国家。我认为最好的时代近在眼前并且我深信我将很好地投身于这个国家的公共服务。

In my experience, in life and in business, in dealing with education and working with government leaders, there are actually lots of really smart people out there. What distinguishes those who are truly leaders, those who really contribute in government, in medicine, in education, in business, in the arts, is passion and enthusiasm.

You see, being successful in any field, is hard work. Being successful requires not only that you learn everything you can about your chosen field, but also that you apply your knowledge with a passion and enthusiasm that affects others, and engages them as well.

In today’s highly collaborative workplace, few great things are accomplished by individuals alone. Just like in college basketball, you need great teams, and you need people who can inspire those teams, and lead those teams, to greater heights.

Enthusiasm is contagious. Your goal should be to start the epidemic. But, I should tell you, that even with knowledge, passion, and contagious enthusiasm, you are going to face some tough challenges in some tough days.

A year and a half ago, some of the so-called “experts” were claiming that General Motors was headed for bankruptcy, and I ought to be fired. Those were some tough days for me. Even great institutions like mine, and now your alma mater, Duke University, encounter challenging times, like over the last year.
1704973426
1704973427
But the real successful people, the real contributor, the really great institutions, like Duke University and General Motors, have another important characteristic, which is persistence and resilience. No matter how great the challenge is, no matter how dark the future seems, the best people, the really successful people, simply do not give up.

经验告诉我，无论是生活中还是商场上，无论是教育领域还是政府机构，确实有很多聪明绝顶的人。而无论在政府、医药、教育、商业还是艺术领域，真正的领导者、真正在行业内作出贡献的那些人成功的关键，就是对工作的激情和热忱。
1704973430

你们知道，任何成功都需要付出艰辛的努力。取得成功不仅需要过硬的专业知识，更需要在运用知识的过程中，充满激情和热忱，并让他人也受你的感染、全身心地投入。

在今天需要高度合作的工作中，大多数事情都需要团体合作才能完成。正如在大学打篮球一样，谁都需要一支优秀的团队，需要一个能够激励他人、领导团队不断进取的人物。
1704973434
1704973435
热忱是可以互相感染的，而你们就应该成为那些传播热忱的人们。不过，需要提醒你们的是，即便有了知识、有了热情、有了可以感染他人的热忱，你们仍会面临挑战。

一年半之前，一些所谓的“专家”宣称通用公司濒临破产，而我也应该下台。在这段时间里，我度日如年。即使是一些了不起的机构，比如我们的母校杜克大学，也曾面临过挑战，比如在去年。
1704973438
1704973439
然而，那些成功者、奉献者和真正伟大的机构——比如杜克大学和通用汽车公司，还具备更重要的特质：坚持不懈，能屈能伸。不管面临多大的挑战，不管前景看上去多么悲观，那些优秀的人、真正的成功者也决不放弃。
