Trevor Noah was born in South Africa before the elimination of apartheid, a system of institutionalized racial segregation. Because his father is white and his mother is Black, he was born a “crime.” Though he was classified as colored and suffered from all kinds of inequality, he grew up under the protection of his mother, who was brave, pious, rebellious, and optimistic. Thanks to that, Noah grew up like a normal teenager without being negatively influenced by his social environment. Moreover, he inherited his mother’s nature and took control of his life.

The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.
We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.
Relationships are built in the silences. You spend time with people, you observe them and interact with them, and you come to know them—and that is what apartheid stole from us: time. You can’t make up for that with an interview, ... (查看原文)
I don't regret anything I've ever done in life, any choice that I've made. But I'm consumed with regret for the things I didn't do, the choices I didn't make, the things I didn't say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. "What if ..." "If only..." "I wonder what would have ..." You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.

虽说是崔娃的自传,但字里行间完整地刻画出他母亲的形象:自信、坚毅、有信仰也有追求的独立黑人女性。如果没有她,今日的崔娃可能也有所不同吧。
听完整本就像在听他的脱口秀,开车途中好多次因故事情节和讲述模式笑出声:被扔下公交车、sing sing sing pray pray pray、厨房拉屎、刻录CD大喊Hilter……当然,最后母亲被继父枪击也非常血腥震撼。

“Learn from your past and be better because of your past,” she would say, “but don’t cry about your past. Life is full of pain. Let the pain sharpen you, but don’t hold on to it. Don’t be bitter.”

去年冬天每日散步时听完的崔娃自读有声书,本来还在疑惑和英文纸版有无版本或内容上的差异,结果发现豆瓣已经收录有audio版本,真·与时俱进。非常佩服崔娃的妈妈,还是我一直在说的那句话,能不沉溺于个人不幸命运的,都是大英雄。

对于中文网上拾人牙慧的曼德拉喷子来说,此书作者是一个雷神般的存在,在所有方面都是碾压性的姿态。从南非的贫民窟走出来,如今Trevor Noah是美国最高薪的脱口秀主持人。读一下、然后考虑是否以后闭嘴。
