PE 10/25 Matt Damon - MIT Commencement Speech


I hope you see both. But again, the point is not to become some kind of well-rounded, high minded voyeur. The point is to try to eliminate your blind spots - the things that keep us from grasping the bigger picture.
* well-rounded: skilled or knowledgeable in many area
ex> The school wanted its students to become well-rounded.
Note> An example of a well-rounded person is someone who is good in school, lays sports and has a good relationship with his family.

* blind spot: an area where one’s vision is impaired
ex> I always look over my shoulder so I don’t hit a motorcyclist in my blind spot.

* keep one from: to prevent
ex> I don’t want to keep you from getting to your appointment on time.

* grasp: to comprehend; understand
ex> Some online visual aids helped me finally grasp calculus.

* big(ger) picture: the complete, overall view
ex> Talking to people in all departments gave me a sense of the big picture.
ex> You’re not seeing the big picture: we can never be healthy if we stay here.

I don’t have a clue where my blind spots begin and end.
* not have a clue: to be completely unaware; have no answer
ex> Without GPS I wouldn’t have a clue where we were.

@ The point is not to become a high-minded voyeur.  고상한 관찰자가 되라는게 요점이 아니다.
