"我告诉我的学生，"当你们得到这些你们经过如此出色训练的工作时，请记住你们真正的任务是，如果你们是自由的，你们需要解放其他人。如果你们有一些权力，那么你们的任务是赋予其他人权力"。"

Simplified Meaning:
If you've worked hard and landed a job you're really good at, it's important to remember that your true purpose is to help others. Think of it like this: if you have the freedom to make choices, use it to help others have the same freedom. For example, if you're in a position of power or influence, use that to support and uplift someone who might not have the same opportunities. Imagine a teacher who not only teaches students but also goes out of their way to mentor struggling ones, giving them extra help so they can thrive too. This advice is about sharing your success and power to create a better, more equal world for everyone. So, whenever you achieve something significant, look around to see who you can bring along with you.
