演講稿
請想象一份禮物。請你們在腦海中構想一下，不是很大，大概高爾夫球般大小，包裝好大致是這個樣子。在我揭開謎底之前，我先告訴你們，這件禮物會有多么精妙的效果。它會使你合家團聚，你會感受到前所未有的愛與感激，與久未謀面的老友和舊識重聚。愛與贊美會充盈你身，你會重新檢視何為生命中的要事。
你會重新定義，自己對精神和信仰的看法。你對自己的身體也會有全新的認知和信任。你會擁有無與倫比的生命力和能量，你將拓展你的詞匯量，結交新的朋友，并擁有更健康的生活方式。當你得到這件禮物時，你將會有八個禮拜的假期，不需要做任何事情。你將享用無盡的佳肴，收到好幾卡車的鮮花。人們會對你說，“你看起來氣色真不錯，完成什么了嗎？”你還會得到終生的良藥供給。
你會面臨挑戰，被啟發，被鼓舞，同時變得更謙虛。你的生命將被賦予新的意義，平和，健康，寧靜，快樂，猶如涅槃。物的價格呢，五萬五千美金，真是樁好買賣。
我知道你一定迫不及待地想知道，這到底是什么，在哪里可買到。亞馬遜網站上有嗎？是蘋果公司的產品嗎？要排隊等貨嗎？都不對。大概五個月前，我收到了這份禮物。包裹起來的話，大概是這個樣子，沒那么漂亮。之后是這個，還有這個。一個罕見的麻煩，一顆腦瘤，成血管細胞瘤，這禮物一直在影響著我。
現在我已無大礙了，我不希望這份禮物降臨于你。我不確定你是否想得到，但是我不渴望改變過去。它突如其來地徹底改變了我的生活，帶來了以上所述的那些改變。所以下一次，當你面對意料之外的，避之不及和前途未卜的事，不妨就把它看成一件禮物。
Transcript
Imagine, if you will, a gift. I'd like for you to picture it in your mind. It's not too big -- about the size of a golf ball. So envision what it looks like all wrapped up. But before I show you what's inside, I will tell you, it's going to do incredible things for you. It will bring all of your family together. You will feel loved and appreciated like never before and reconnect with friends and acquaintances you haven't heard from in years. Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you. It will recalibrate what's most important in your life.
It will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith. You'll have a new understanding and trust in your body. You'll have unsurpassed vitality and energy. You'll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you'll have a healthier lifestyle. And get this, you'll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing. You'll eat countless gourmet meals. Flowers will arrive by the truckload. People will say to you, 'You look great. Have you had any work done?' And you'll have a lifetime supply of good drugs.
You'll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled. Your life will have new meaning. Peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana. The price? $55,000. And that's an incredible deal.
By now I know you're dying to know what it is and where you can get one. Does Amazon carry it? Does it have the Apple logo on it? Is there a waiting list? Not likely. This gift came to me about five months ago. It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up -- not quite so pretty. And this. And then this. It was a rare gem, a brain tumor, hemangioblastoma, the gift that keeps on giving.
And while I'm okay now, I wouldn't wish this gift for you. I'm not sure you'd want it. But I wouldn't change my experience. It profoundly altered my life in ways I didn't expect in all the ways I just shared with you.
So the next time you're faced with something that's unexpected, unwanted and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift.
(Applause)
