As I mentioned couple of times before, I wasn't born that lucky.
我之前也提过几次，我就没那么走运
I was born more on the anxious side of this curve not with the, with the happy spoon in my mouth,
我一出生就在曲线上偏焦虑的那一端，嘴里也没含着快乐的小汤匙
which by the way I think helps me teach this class, because I do these things, I apply these things, I make a difference in my life.
但我的天性令我有资格教这门课，因为我通过努力和各种尝试，改变了自己的人生
You know, been there, done that, doing it.
我可以谈个人的经验
I can speak from personal experiences as you know.
因为我有过那样的经历
Now some people may look at it and say, 'that's terrible that we have a genetic set range.' Well,
现在有些人可能会说，"我们还有遗传排列，真是太可怕了"
my answer to that is, it's not terri... it's not good. It's not bad. It is.
对此，我想说，这不是什么好事，也不是坏事，这只是既定事实
The law of gravity. It's not good it's not bad. It is.
就好象万有引力，无所谓好坏
And nature to be commanded must be obeyed.
想要支配天性，必先服从天性
We need to look at our nature, understand it and then make the best of it.
我们要认识自己的天性，理解，并充分善用这些天性
About 50 percent of our levels of well-being of the variance in explaining happiness can't be accounted for by genes,
我们健康中和快乐相关的指数差异有50%并不是由遗传所决定的
which explains some of the results, or for example, the twin studies.
当然遗传基因是有影响的，比如，双胞胎研究的案例
Why there were such similarities among the twins even if they were, or between the twins, even if they were real depart.
为什么有很多对双胞胎在长期分离的情况下彼此之间仍有那么多相似之处
Because genes matter. Not good, not bad. It is. They matter 50 percent, not 100 percent, thank God, but 50 percent of the variance.
因为遗传决定的，这作用无所谓好坏，也不是百分百由它决定，感谢上帝，只有差异中的50%
The important thing to keep in mind is that we have a lot of control what we do with these genes.
我们应该随时牢记，对于如何运用这些基因，我们是有很多的支配能力的
You know one could argue that success... and I'm just throwing out numbers. I don't know what it is exactly. But
你可以说成功是……我只是随便举例。我并不知道确切的数据
But successful basketball players is determined 50 percent by genes in terms of how much fast twitch versus slow twitch they have in their muscles,
成功的篮球运动员50%是由遗传基因决定的，比如肌肉里有多少快肌纤维和慢肌纤维
or how high they can jump, how coordinated they are, how tall they are.
或者，能跳多高，协调性如何，身高多少
All these things matter. They go into the... And these are determined by genes.
这些都很重要。这些都是由基因决定的
