Measure happiness not by what you do as work, but by what you give to others. It is the most important lesson and the deepest source of meaning I have found in life.
Sonia Sotomayor
Manhattan College Commencement 2019, 2019
这句语录背后的故事
Sotomayor shares the lesson her family taught her about the true measure of a life well-lived. Her grandmother ensured no one around her ever went hungry. Her mother, a practical nurse, gave shots to neighbors, helped with blood pressure readings, and once took a neighbor to a doctor's appointment on the very morning the Senate was voting on Sotomayor's nomination to the Second Circuit — so Sotomayor couldn't even reach her by phone. These small, unglamorous acts of service, she argues, are what actually constitute a meaningful life. The career is secondary to the question: who have you helped today?
