1. Being genius is not enough; it takes courage to change people's hearts.
成为天才是不够的;改变人们的想法更需要勇气。
(chénɡwéi tiāncái shì bùɡòude; ɡǎibiàn rénmén de xiǎnɡfǎ ɡènɡ xūyào yǒnɡqì.)

2. Falling in love with you was the easiest thing I've ever done.
爱上你是我做过最容易的一件事。
(àishànɡnǐ shì wǒ zuòɡuò zuìrónɡyì de yījiànshì.)

3. Whatever you do, do it 100 percent. When you work, work. When you laugh, laugh. When you eat, eat like it's your last meal.
不管做什么,都要百分之百地投入。工作的时候就全力工作,笑的时候就开怀大笑,吃饭的时候就把它当成最后一顿来吃。
(bùɡuǎn zuòshénme, dōuyào bǎifēnzhībǎi de tóurù. ɡōnɡzuò de shíhòu jiù quánlìɡōnɡzuò, xiào de shíhòu jiù kāihuáidàxiào, chīfàn de shíhòu jiù bǎtā dànɡchénɡ zuìhòu yīdùn láichī.)

他们没有选择的机会,但是你有。

7. Anyone could sound like Beethoven or Joe Pan or them other guys you said. But your music, what you do, only you can do that. 
每个人都能弹奏贝多芬,乔•潘,或是其他你说过的人,但是你的音乐,你做的事情,却只有你才能做到。
(měiɡèrén dōunénɡ tánzòu bèiduōfēn, qiáopān, huòshì qítā nǐ shuōɡuò de rén, dànshì nǐde yīnlè, nǐ zuòde shìqinɡ, què zhǐyǒu nǐ cáinénɡ zuòdào.)
