2014-09-08

激情，刻苦，精通，专注，强迫，服务，点子，坚持，这就是成功的秘诀

This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family.

这真的是一个我给高中学生做的2个小时的演讲现在缩到了3分钟所有的一切都是从7年前的一天开始，我坐在飞往

TED会议的飞机上。在我邻座坐的是一个高中生，一个十几岁的年轻人。她生于一个贫穷的家庭而且她的愿望是成就一番事业所以她问了我一个简单的小问题。

And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success?" And I felt really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer. So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm gonna tell you what really leads to success and makes TED-sters tick.

她说：“怎样做才能成功呢？”我当

时觉得糟透了因为我不能给她一个满意的答案后来我下了飞机，来到TED 忽然间我想到，天啊，我置身于一屋子成功人士之中！为什么我不问问他们是怎样走向成功的呢。这样我就可以把答案告诉孩子们了。所以就这样，7年中我坐了500次采访。现在我就要告诉你们是什么带来了成功是什么启发了TED演讲者们。

【And the first thing is passion.】

第一点是激情

Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TED-sters do it for love; they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And the interesting thing is: if you do it for

love, the money comes anyway.

Freeman Thomas 说：“我总是被我的热情所牵引着” TED的讲演者因为有爱才做事情，不是为了钱。 Carol Colletta 说：“我会付给别人钱去做我的工作。”有趣的是如果你是为了爱而做的，钱自然而然就来了。

【Work!】

刻苦

Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes! TED-sters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.

Rupert Murdoch 曾经告诉过我“都是刻苦“为努力”“天下没有白吃的午餐。但是我得到了很多乐趣。”他提到了乐趣？？Rupert？是的！ TED讲演者都有一份充满乐趣的工作，而且他们都很刻苦。我觉得，他们都不是工作狂，他们是享受工作狂。

【Good! 】

精通

Alex Garden says, "To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it." There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.

Alex Garden说：”要想成功，就要真的深入其中““然后做到精通。”想要做到精通没有秘诀，就是练习，练习，再练习。还

【And it's focus.】

有就是专注

Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."

Norman Jewison 告诉过我，“我想成功就要使自己专注于一件事情”

【And push! 】

强迫

David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push." You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt. Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers. （Laughter）Frank Gehry —Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."

David Gallo说：“强迫你自己，”“心灵上，神情上。你一定要强迫，强迫，强迫。”“你要强迫自己去战胜羞涩和自我怀疑” Goldie Hawn说：“我总是怀疑自己。怀疑自己不够优秀，不用聪明。我从不相
