八年前，我听到一个
有生以来最烂的职场建议。

I had a friend tell me,

“ 斯科特，别考虑
你喜不喜欢现在的工作，
你喜不喜欢现在的工作，
00:19
"Don't worry about how much
you like the work you're doing now.
you like the work you're doing now.

重要的是简历上好看。 ”
00:22
It's all about just building your resume."

And I'd just come back
from living in Spain for a while,
from living in Spain for a while,
5
14560
2656
我那时候在西班牙
住了一段时间，刚回来，
住了一段时间，刚回来，
进了一家财富500强公司。
我想，“真是太棒了，
我想，“真是太棒了，
00:27
and I'd joined this Fortune 500 company.
I thought, "This is fantastic.
I thought, "This is fantastic.

我要做改变世界的大事情。”
00:30
I'm going to have
big impact on the world."

一开始全是这些想法。
结果没过俩月，
结果没过俩月，
00:33
I had all these ideas.
And within about two months,
And within about two months,
8
22638
2698
我就发现每天一到上午10点多，
00:35
I noticed at about 10am every morning
I had this strange urge
I had this strange urge
9
25360
3000
我就控制不住
想用头撞穿电脑屏。
想用头撞穿电脑屏。
00:38
to want to slam my head
through the monitor of my computer.
through the monitor of my computer.
10
28384
3552
不知道有没有人有同感。
00:42
I don't know if anyone's ever felt that.
11
31960
1905
很快我发现
公司里的所有同事，
公司里的所有同事，
00:44
And I noticed pretty soon after that
that all the competitors in our space
that all the competitors in our space
12
33889
3527
都已经跟我差不多是同样的表现了。
00:47
had already automated my job role.
13
37440
2896
就是差不多这时候，
我听到了这个为了简历好看的忠告。
我听到了这个为了简历好看的忠告。
00:50
And this is right about when I got
this sage advice to build up my resume.
this sage advice to build up my resume.
14
40360
4216
后来，正当我寻思着
00:55
Well, as I'm trying to figure out
15
44600
2016
从二楼的哪扇窗户跳下去，
绝地重生的时候，
绝地重生的时候，
00:57
what two-story window I'm going
to jump out of and change things up,
to jump out of and change things up,
16
46640
6496
我又从沃伦·巴菲特的书里读到了
完全不同的建议，他说，
完全不同的建议，他说，
01:03
I read some altogether different advice
from Warren Buffett, and he said,
from Warren Buffett, and he said,
17
53160
3736
“为了让简历好看而工作，
就跟节省着性生活等老了再用一样。”
就跟节省着性生活等老了再用一样。”
01:07
"Taking jobs to build up your resume
is the same as saving up sex for old age."
is the same as saving up sex for old age."
18
56920
5616
（观众笑）
01:12
(Laughter)
19
62560
1736
我听进去了，
这正是我需要的。
这正是我需要的。
01:14
And I heard that,
and that was all I needed.
and that was all I needed.
20
64319
2297
没过两周我辞职了，
离开时就一个想法：
离开时就一个想法：
01:17
Within two weeks, I was out of there,
and I left with one intention:
and I left with one intention:
21
66640
3216
我得找个我能搞砸的事做。
最不济也就这样吧。
最不济也就这样吧。
01:20
to find something that I could screw up.
That's how tough it was.
That's how tough it was.
22
69880
3056
我想做个有影响的人。
什么影响都行。
什么影响都行。
01:23
I wanted to have some type of impact.
It didn't matter what it was.
It didn't matter what it was.
23
72960
3016
很快我发现
不是只有我这么想：
不是只有我这么想：
01:26
And I found pretty quickly
that I wasn't alone:
that I wasn't alone:
24
76000
2715
原来身边有80%多的人
01:29
it turns out that over 80 percent
of the people around
of the people around
25
78739
2837
工作时候都不开心。
01:32
don't enjoy their work.
26
81600
1496
我猜在座的各位
都很热爱自己的工作，
都很热爱自己的工作，
01:33
I'm guessing this room is different,
27
83120
1536
但这80%确实是
德勤调查出的平均数据。
德勤调查出的平均数据。
01:35
but that's the average
that Deloitte has done with their studies.
that Deloitte has done with their studies.
28
84680
2856
于是我就想找出
人们工作态度不同的原因，
人们工作态度不同的原因，
01:37
So I wanted to find out,
what is it that sets these people apart,
what is it that sets these people apart,
29
87560
3048
是什么让一些人从事着让人振奋，
能改变世界的工作，
能改变世界的工作，
01:41
the people who do the passionate,
world-changing work,
world-changing work,
30
90632
2336
让他们每天起床都充满干劲。
01:43
that wake up inspired every day,
31
92992
1624
又是什么让另外 80% 的人
01:45
and then these people,
the other 80 percent
the other 80 percent
32
94640
1776
有气无力地在绝望中勉强度日。
01:46
who lead these lives of quiet desperation.
33
96440
2056
我开始采访那些做着创造性工作的人，
01:48
So I started to interview all these people
doing this inspiring work,
doing this inspiring work,
34
98520
3256
也读了各种书，做了很多案例研究。
01:52
and I read books and did case studies,
35
101800
2816
关于目标、事业的书
我看了有300多本，
我看了有300多本，
01:55
300 books altogether
on purpose and career and all this,
on purpose and career and all this,
36
104640
2696
其实主要就是想一头扎进去，
为了一个自私的目的——
为了一个自私的目的——
01:57
totally just self-immersion,
really for the selfish reason of --
really for the selfish reason of --
37
107360
4320
02:02
I wanted to find the work
that I couldn't not do,
that I couldn't not do,
38
112240
2496
我想找到一个我非做不可的工作。
那份属于我的工作。
02:05
what that was for me.
39
114760
1536
但当我在做这些事的时候，
越来越多的人开始问我，
越来越多的人开始问我，
02:06
But as I was doing this,
more and more people started to ask me,
more and more people started to ask me,
40
116320
2642
“ 你对求职这事儿这么感兴趣。
02:09
"You're into this career thing.
41
118986
1470
我不喜欢我的工作，
有空一起吃个午饭吗？ ”
有空一起吃个午饭吗？ ”
02:10
I don't like my job.
Can we sit down for lunch?"
Can we sit down for lunch?"
42
120480
2216
我说，“没问题。”
但我会先告诉他们，
但我会先告诉他们，
02:13
I'd say, "Sure."
But I would have to warn them,
But I would have to warn them,
43
122720
2176
我当时的辞职可能性是80%。
02:15
because at this point,
my quit rate was also 80 percent.
my quit rate was also 80 percent.
44
124920
2296
那时和我共进午餐的人当中，
80% 的人在午餐后
80% 的人在午餐后
02:17
Of the people I'd sit down with for lunch,
80 percent would quit their job
80 percent would quit their job
45
127240
3226
不到两个月就辞职了。
02:20
within two months.
46
130491
1165
我很有成就感，
不是因为我施了什么咒。
不是因为我施了什么咒。
02:22
I was proud of this, and it wasn't
that I had any special magic.
that I had any special magic.
47
131680
4216
02:26
It was that I would ask
one simple question.
one simple question.
48
135920
2048
我只是问了他们一个简单的问题。
“你为什么在做现在的工作？”
02:28
It was, "Why are you doing
the work that you're doing?"
the work that you're doing?"
49
137992
2616
这些人往往回答我，
02:31
And so often their answer would be,
50
140632
2104
“ 有人跟我说我适合做这个。”
02:33
"Well, because somebody
told me I'm supposed to."
told me I'm supposed to."
51
142760
2296
我才意识到我们身边好多人
02:35
And I realized that so many
people around us
people around us
52
145080
2136
都在顺着别人给的梯子往上爬，
02:37
are climbing their way up this ladder
that someone tells them to climb,
that someone tells them to climb,
53
147240
3616
结果发现梯子靠错墙了，
02:41
and it ends up being leaned up
against the wrong wall,
against the wrong wall,
54
150880
2536
或者，根本就没有墙。
02:43
or no wall at all.
55
153440
1656
和他们接触了一段时间，
我发现了这个问题，
我发现了这个问题，
02:45
The more time I spent around
these people and saw this problem,
these people and saw this problem,
56
155120
2696
然后我想，
不如我们组建一个社区，
不如我们组建一个社区，
02:48
I thought, what if we could
create a community,
create a community,
57
157840
2216
一个让人有归属感，
02:50
a place where people
could feel like they belonged
could feel like they belonged
58
160080
2376
包容与众不同的地方，
02:52
and that it was OK
to do things differently,
to do things differently,
59
162480
2143
鼓励人们不走寻常路，
02:55
to take the road less traveled,
where that was encouraged,
where that was encouraged,
60
164647
2715
激励人们做出改变的地方。
02:57
and inspire people to change?
61
167386
2550
这个社团后来成了现在的
“活出自己的传奇” 组织。
“活出自己的传奇” 组织。
03:00
And that later became
what I now call Live Your Legend,
what I now call Live Your Legend,
62
169960
2696
稍后我为大家简单介绍。
03:03
which I'll explain in a little bit.
63
172680
1667
伴随着这些发现，我注意到
03:04
But as I've made these discoveries,
I noticed a framework
I noticed a framework
64
174371
3685
充满热情要改变世界的人
03:08
of really three simple things
65
178080
1381
都做过三件相同的事，
03:09
that all these different passionate
world-changers have in common,
world-changers have in common,
66
179485
3131
无论你是史蒂夫·乔布斯这样的人物，
03:13
whether you're a Steve Jobs
or if you're just, you know,
or if you're just, you know,
67
182640
2656
或者是一个
普通的不能再普通的人。
普通的不能再普通的人。
03:15
the person that has
the bakery down the street.
the bakery down the street.
68
185320
2056
你做的事都在体现你的价值。
03:17
But you're doing work
that embodies who you are.
that embodies who you are.
69
187400
2016
我想把这三点和大家分享一下，
03:19
I want to share those three with you,
so we can use them as a lens
so we can use them as a lens
70
189440
2896
希望能对各位今天，
甚至今后的生活都有些启发。
甚至今后的生活都有些启发。
03:22
for the rest of today
and hopefully the rest of our life.
and hopefully the rest of our life.
71
192360
2667
想要满载热情地投入工作，
03:25
The first part of this three-step
passionate work framework
passionate work framework
72
195051
2776
第一步，要成为自己的专家，
了解自己，
了解自己，
03:28
is becoming a self-expert
and understanding yourself,
and understanding yourself,
73
197851
2925
因为如果你都不知道自己想要什么，
03:31
because if you don't know
what you're looking for,
what you're looking for,
74
200800
2656
还何谈 “找到” 二字呢。
03:33
you're never going to find it.
75
203480
1616
问题在于没人替我们做这件事。
03:35
And the thing is that no one
is going to do this for us.
is going to do this for us.
76
205120
2620
03:38
There's no major in university
on passion and purpose and career.
on passion and purpose and career.
77
207764
3692
大学里没有热情、目标、
职业生涯这些专业。
职业生涯这些专业。
我不知道为啥这些
没被设为双专业的必修，
没被设为双专业的必修，
03:41
I don't know how that's not
a required double major,
a required double major,
78
211480
2256
我甚至都没注意到这些有多重要。
03:44
but don't even get me started on that.
79
213760
1816
你花在挑选
寝室用的电视机上的时间
寝室用的电视机上的时间
03:46
I mean, you spend more time
picking out a dorm room TV set
picking out a dorm room TV set
80
215600
2976
都比你选择专业和学习领域的时间长。
03:49
than you do you picking your major
and your area of study.
and your area of study.
81
218600
2936
但重点是，
每个人的方向只能由他自己决定，
每个人的方向只能由他自己决定，
03:51
But the point is,
it's on us to figure that out,
it's on us to figure that out,
82
221560
2616
我们需要一个
帮我们走出迷雾的办法。
帮我们走出迷雾的办法。
03:54
and we need a framework,
we need a way to navigate through this.
we need a way to navigate through this.
83
224200
3216
所以第一步就要
找到自己的独特优势。
找到自己的独特优势。
03:57
And so the first step of our compass is
finding out what our unique strengths are.
finding out what our unique strengths are.
84
227440
3858
什么事是你每天
一睁眼睛就想去做的，
一睁眼睛就想去做的，
04:01
What are the things that we wake up
loving to do no matter what,
loving to do no matter what,
85
231322
3014
不管能否从中获得报酬，
而且是对别人也有益的事？
而且是对别人也有益的事？
04:04
whether we're paid or we're not paid,
the things that people thank us for?
the things that people thank us for?
86
234360
3496
我强烈推荐一本书，
也是个在线工具，
也是个在线工具，
04:08
And the Strengths Finder 2.0
is a book and also an online tool.
is a book and also an online tool.
87
237880
2976
叫做《发现你的优势2.0》，
能帮你找到自己最擅长的事。
能帮你找到自己最擅长的事。
04:11
I highly recommend it for sorting out
what it is that you're naturally good at.
what it is that you're naturally good at.
88
240880
3736
第二步，弄清让我们
做出决定的根本原因。
做出决定的根本原因。
04:15
And next, what's our framework
or our hierarchy for making decisions?
or our hierarchy for making decisions?
89
244640
4416
是因为我们对人类、
家庭、健康的关心，
家庭、健康的关心，
04:19
Do we care about the people,
our family, health,
our family, health,
90
249080
4216
还是因为成就感、成功这样的东西？
04:23
or is it achievement, success,
all this stuff?
all this stuff?
91
253320
2136
弄清自己的各种决定
背后真正的原因，
背后真正的原因，
04:25
We have to figure out what it is
to make these decisions,
to make these decisions,
92
255480
2667
就能使我们了解最真实的自己。
04:28
so we know what our soul is made of,
93
258171
1725
也就不至于因为本来不屑一顾的理由
而出卖自己的灵魂。
而出卖自己的灵魂。
04:30
so that we don't go selling it
to some cause we don't give a shit about.
to some cause we don't give a shit about.
94
259920
4696
第三，就是经验。
04:35
And then the next step is our experiences.
95
264640
3696
04:38
All of us have these experiences.
We learn things every day, every minute
We learn things every day, every minute
96
268360
3456
我们都一样
每时每刻都在获得新信息，
每时每刻都在获得新信息，
我们喜欢什么、讨厌什么，
04:42
about what we love, what we hate,
97
271840
1696
擅长什么、不擅长什么。
04:43
what we're good at,
what we're terrible at.
what we're terrible at.
98
273560
2000
如果我们不在意这些信息，
04:45
And if we don't spend time
paying attention to that
paying attention to that
99
275584
2392
不去消化已知的经验，
04:48
and assimilating that learning
100
278000
1536
并且用到今后的生活里，
那么这些都没有意义。
那么这些都没有意义。
04:49
and applying it to the rest of our lives,
it's all for nothing.
it's all for nothing.
101
279560
2976
每年、每月、每周、每天，
04:52
Every day, every week,
every month of every year
every month of every year
102
282560
2656
我都会花些时间反省一下
自己什么事做对了，
自己什么事做对了，
04:55
I spend some time
just reflecting on what went right,
just reflecting on what went right,
103
285240
2456
什么事做错了，
什么事需要一直做，
什么事需要一直做，
04:58
what went wrong,
and what do I want to repeat,
and what do I want to repeat,
104
287720
2143
有没有更多经验可循。
05:00
what can I apply more to my life.
105
289887
1576
生活中，我们总能听到
05:01
And even more so than that,
as you see people, especially today,
as you see people, especially today,
106
291487
3089
觉得谁很优秀的时候，人们常说，
05:05
who inspire you, who are doing
things where you say
things where you say
107
294600
2381
“ 啊，杰夫可真厉害，
我真想和他一样 ！”
我真想和他一样 ！”
05:07
"Oh God, what Jeff is doing,
I want to be like him."
I want to be like him."
108
297005
2931
想过为什么感叹么？
打开日记本。
打开日记本。
05:10
Why are you saying that?
Open up a journal.
Open up a journal.
109
299960
1721
把鼓舞自己的原因写下来。
05:12
Write down what it is about them
that inspires you.
that inspires you.
110
301706
2070
不是写某某某的回忆录，
05:14
It's not going to be
everything about their life,
everything about their life,
111
303800
2056
05:16
but whatever it is, take note on that,
112
305880
1816
任何点滴想法都可以记下来，
时间长了，
我们就有了这样一个信息库，
我们就有了这样一个信息库，
05:18
so over time we'll have
this repository of things
this repository of things
113
307720
2296
满载属于自己的生活智慧，
它会使我们充满活力，
它会使我们充满活力，
05:20
that we can use to apply to our life
and have a more passionate existence
and have a more passionate existence
114
310040
4216
更清楚自己是谁、想要什么。
05:24
and make a better impact.
115
314280
1496
因为只要把这些因素放在一起看，
05:26
Because when we start
to put these things together,
to put these things together,
116
315800
2381
就不难发现
成功对自己意味着什么，
成功对自己意味着什么，
05:28
we can then define
what success actually means to us,
what success actually means to us,
117
318205
3291
可如果没有之前的点滴累积，
我们就无法看清全局。
我们就无法看清全局。
05:31
and without these different parts
of the compass, it's impossible.
of the compass, it's impossible.
118
321520
3136
结果可能是——
死气沉沉地活着，
死气沉沉地活着，
05:35
We end up in the situation --
we have that scripted life
we have that scripted life
119
324680
2620
庸庸碌碌地和别人一样爬梯子，
却不知通往何方。
却不知通往何方。
05:37
that everybody seems to be living
going up this ladder to nowhere.
going up this ladder to nowhere.

电影《华尔街2》里有几句对话
不知道大家注意没有，
不知道大家注意没有，
05:40
It's kind of like in Wall Street 2,
if anybody saw that,
if anybody saw that,
121
330480
2656
一个日工雇员问华尔街银行家CEO，
05:43
the peon employee asks
the big Wall Street banker CEO,
the big Wall Street banker CEO,
122
333160
3816
“你的目标是多少？
每人都有个目标数字，
每人都有个目标数字，
05:47
"What's your number?
Everyone's got a number,
Everyone's got a number,
123
337000
2136
等赚足这个数，就立马辞职了。”
05:49
where if they make this money,
they'll leave it all."
they'll leave it all."
124
339160
2536
CEO回答：
“ 噢，好记，就是更多。 ”
“ 噢，好记，就是更多。 ”
05:52
He says, "Oh, it's simple. More."
125
341720
2520
05:55
And he just smiles.
126
345120
1296
然后就只是笑了笑。
这正是很多人的悲哀之处，
05:56
And it's the sad state
of most of the people
of most of the people
127
346440
1776
05:58
that haven't spent time
understanding what matters for them,
understanding what matters for them,
128
348240
2536
没有努力过了解自己想要什么，
一直追求对自己毫无意义的东西，
06:01
who keep reaching for something
that doesn't mean anything to us,
that doesn't mean anything to us,
129
350800
2736
只因为别人说我们应该这么做。
06:03
but we're doing it because everyone
said we're supposed to.
said we're supposed to.
130
353560
2496
但一旦我们综合这些条条框框，
06:06
But once we have this framework together,
131
356080
1736
我们就能发现让自己重生的事情。
06:08
we can start to identify
the things that make us come alive.
the things that make us come alive.
132
357840
2616
在某个瞬间我们都曾
和自己的一股激情擦肩而过，
和自己的一股激情擦肩而过，
06:10
You know, before this, a passion
could come and hit you in the face,
could come and hit you in the face,
133
360480
3216
也许就是你想从事的行业的热情，
但这股热情
但这股热情
06:14
or maybe in your possible line of work,
you might throw it away
you might throw it away
134
363720
2696
却因为你没有意识到而与你失之交臂了。
06:16
because you don't have
a way of identifying it.
a way of identifying it.
135
366440
2191
可如果你认出了这股热情，
你就会获得和自己
你就会获得和自己
06:19
But once you do, you can see something
that's congruent with my strengths,
that's congruent with my strengths,
136
368655
3536
能力、价值观、人生观一致的目标。
06:22
my values, who I am as a person,
137
372215
1801
我们得紧紧抓住这个目标，
一定要做点什么，
一定要做点什么，
06:24
so I'm going to grab ahold of this,
I'm going to do something with it,
I'm going to do something with it,
138
374040
3286
不断努力实现它，
绝对不能让它凭空消失。
绝对不能让它凭空消失。
06:27
and I'm going to pursue it
and try to make an impact with it.
and try to make an impact with it.
139
377350
2858
“活出自己的传奇”和我们取得的进步
06:30
And Live Your Legend
and the movement we've built
and the movement we've built
140
380232
2544
统统都不会发生，
如果我没有意识到
如果我没有意识到
06:33
wouldn't exist if I didn't have
this compass to identify,
this compass to identify,
141
382800
2667
“哇，这才是我想走的路，
我可以做出改变”。
我可以做出改变”。
06:35
"Wow, this is something I want to pursue
and make a difference with."
and make a difference with."
142
385491
3245
如果我们不知道要自己寻找什么。
我们就永远找不到它。
我们就永远找不到它。
06:39
If we don't know what we're looking for,
we're never going to find it,
we're never going to find it,
143
388760
3056
但是一旦我们有了这个大方向，
这个指路罗盘，
这个指路罗盘，
06:42
but once we have
this framework, this compass,
this framework, this compass,
144
391840
2536
我们就可以走下一步了
——话说上面那个不是我——
——话说上面那个不是我——
06:44
then we can move on to what's next --
and that's not me up there --
and that's not me up there --
145
394400
4456
不过总之，要超越自己的极限，
做不可能的事。
做不可能的事。
06:49
doing the impossible
and pushing our limits.
and pushing our limits.
146
398880
2216
人们做不成事有两个原因。
06:51
There's two reasons
why people don't do things.
why people don't do things.
147
401120
2016
一个是，他跟自己说我不行，
06:53
One is they tell themselves
they can't do them,
they can't do them,
148
403160
1976
另一个是，别人跟他说你不行。
06:55
or people around them
tell them they can't do them.
tell them they can't do them.
149
405160
2136
不管是哪个，我们慢慢都信了。
06:57
Either way, we start to believe it.
150
407320
1536
或者放弃，
或者压根就不开始行动。
或者压根就不开始行动。
06:59
Either we give up,
or we never start in the first place.
or we never start in the first place.
151
408880
2376
可如果谁都不行动，
那谁都不可能成功。
那谁都不可能成功。
07:01
The things is, everyone was impossible
until somebody did it.
until somebody did it.
152
411280
2896
这世上每一个发明，
每一件新事物，
每一件新事物，
07:04
Every invention,
every new thing in the world,
every new thing in the world,
153
414200
2536
一开始都让人觉得不可理喻。
07:07
people thought were crazy at first.
154
416760
1667
比如罗杰·班尼斯特，一英里四分钟，
这一直是赛跑中的物理极限，
这一直是赛跑中的物理极限，
07:08
Roger Bannister and the four-minute mile,
it was a physical impossibility
it was a physical impossibility
155
418451
3429
一英里要跑进四分钟，
07:12
to break the four-minute mile
in a foot race
in a foot race
156
421904
2392
直到罗杰·班尼斯特的出现，
打破了这个“不可能”。
打破了这个“不可能”。
07:14
until Roger Bannister stood up and did it.
157
424320
2016
后来怎么样了呢？
07:16
And then what happened?
158
426360
1216
两个月后，
又有16个人打破了这个极限。
又有16个人打破了这个极限。
07:18
Two months later,
16 people broke the four-minute mile.
16 people broke the four-minute mile.
159
427600
2616
我们觉得不可能做到的事，
07:20
The things that we have in our head
that we think are impossible
that we think are impossible
160
430240
2736
往往只是等待我们跨越的一个门槛，
07:23
are often just milestones
waiting to be accomplished
waiting to be accomplished
161
433000
2136
我们要做的只是再向前推进一点。
07:25
if we can push those limits a bit.
162
435160
1620
我觉得也许从体能训练
开始效果最明显，
开始效果最明显，
07:27
And I think this starts with probably
your physical body and fitness
your physical body and fitness
163
436804
3372
07:30
more than anything,
because we can control that.
because we can control that.
164
440200
2536
因为这是我们自己能控制的。
如果你不信自己能跑一英里，
07:33
If you don't think you can run a mile,
165
442760
1616
那就证明给自己看，
你能跑完一两英里。
你能跑完一两英里。
07:34
you show yourself
you can run a mile or two,
you can run a mile or two,
166
444400
2056
跑个马拉松，减掉五磅肉等等，
07:36
or a marathon, or lose five pounds,
or whatever it is,
or whatever it is,
167
446480
2536
你会发现自己的信心越来越强，
07:39
you realize that confidence compounds
168
449040
2496
这份信心又会渗透到
你生活的各个方面。
你生活的各个方面。
07:41
and can be transferred
into the rest of your world.
into the rest of your world.
169
451560
2496
我和我的朋友们
已经有点养成这个习惯了。
已经有点养成这个习惯了。
07:44
And I've actually gotten into the habit
of this a little bit with my friends.
of this a little bit with my friends.
170
454080
3656
我们有一小群人，经常一起去冒险，
07:48
We have this little group.
We go on physical adventures,
We go on physical adventures,
171
457760
2736
07:50
and recently, I found myself
in a kind of precarious spot.
in a kind of precarious spot.
172
460520
3096
后来我发现自己有个弱点。
07:54
I'm terrified of deep, dark, blue water.
173
463640
3016
我有深水恐惧症。
不知道有没有人跟我一样，
07:57
I don't know if anyone's ever had
that same fear
that same fear
174
466680
2016
小时候把《大白鲨》1-4部看了6遍，
07:59
ever since they watched
Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times
Jaws 1, 2, 3 and 4 like six times
175
468720
2599
08:01
when I was a kid.
176
471344
1152
那肯定能理解一点。
水只要有这么高，颜色再深点（我就怕了），
我现在都有感觉了。
我现在都有感觉了。
08:02
But anything above here, if it's murky,
I can already feel it right now.
I can already feel it right now.
177
472520
4536
我觉得那水里面肯定有东西。
08:07
I swear there's something in there.
178
477080
1776
08:09
Even if it's Lake Tahoe,
it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,
it's fresh water, totally unfounded fear,
179
478880
3136
即使是太皓湖那种淡水湖我都怕，
没理由，就是怕，
没理由，就是怕，
听着挺荒唐，可事实就是这样。
08:12
ridiculous, but it's there.
180
482040
1656
话说三年前，我有次坐了个拖船，
08:14
Anyway, three years ago
I find myself on this tugboat
I find myself on this tugboat
181
483720
2496
就在旧金山湾这里。
08:16
right down here in the San Francisco Bay.
182
486240
1976
那天是又刮风又下雨，
我们都开始晕船，
我们都开始晕船，
08:18
It's a rainy, stormy, windy day,
and people are getting sick on the boat,
and people are getting sick on the boat,
183
488240
3456
08:22
and I'm sitting there wearing a wetsuit,
and I'm looking out the window
and I'm looking out the window
184
491720
3334
我穿着救生衣坐在窗边往外看，
怕得不行，满脑子都想着我要拼命游。
08:25
in pure terror thinking
I'm about to swim to my death.
I'm about to swim to my death.
185
495078
2978
当时是打算游过金门海峡的。
08:28
I'm going to try to swim
across the Golden Gate.
across the Golden Gate.
186
498080
2256
可能在座各位有游过这段的人。
08:30
And my guess is some people in this room
might have done that before.
might have done that before.
187
500360
3816
我就坐那儿不动弹，
我朋友乔纳森了解我的这种情况，
我朋友乔纳森了解我的这种情况，
08:34
I'm sitting there, and my buddy Jonathan,
who had talked me into it,
who had talked me into it,
188
504200
3216
他朝我走过来，完全看出了我的紧张。
08:37
he comes up to me
and he could see the state I was in.
and he could see the state I was in.
189
507440
2256
他说，” 嘿，斯科特，
最差还能差到哪儿？
最差还能差到哪儿？
08:40
And he says, "Scott, hey man,
what's the worst that could happen?
what's the worst that could happen?
190
509720
2736
你穿着救生衣。沉不下去的。
08:42
You're wearing a wetsuit.
You're not going to sink.
You're not going to sink.
191
512480
2136
实在不行你就爬皮艇上去，
有20个呢。
有20个呢。
08:45
And If you can't make it,
just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.
just hop on one of the 20 kayaks.
192
514640
2816
再说了，就算来条鲨鱼，
为什么它就非得找你的麻烦，
为什么它就非得找你的麻烦，
08:47
Plus, if there's a shark attack,
why are they going to pick you
why are they going to pick you
193
517480
2816
水里有80多个人呢！”
我不得不感谢他，说的太有道理了。
我不得不感谢他，说的太有道理了。
08:50
over the 80 people in the water?"
So thanks, that helps.
So thanks, that helps.
194
520320
2620
他说：“就是嘛，高兴点，好运！”
08:53
He's like, "But really,
just have fun with this. Good luck."
just have fun with this. Good luck."
195
522964
2856
然后他就跳到水里游走了。
08:56
And he dives in, swims off. OK.
196
525844
2492
结果证明，这段打气的话很管用，
我完全冷静了，
我完全冷静了，
08:58
Turns out, the pep talk totally worked,
and I felt this total feeling of calm,
and I felt this total feeling of calm,
197
528360
4376
我觉得主要因为乔纳森只有13岁。
09:03
and I think it was because
Jonathan was 13 years old.
Jonathan was 13 years old.
198
532760
2936
（观众笑）
09:06
(Laughter)
199
535720
1936
那天有80个人游泳，
09:08
And of the 80 people swimming that day,
200
537680
2696
其中65个是9到13岁的孩子。
09:10
65 of them were between
the ages of nine and 13.
the ages of nine and 13.
201
540400
2816
想象一下，这会对
你的处事原则有多大影响，
你的处事原则有多大影响，
09:13
Think how you would have approached
your world differently
your world differently
202
543240
2736
假如你在9岁就发现
自己可以在13度的水里
自己可以在13度的水里
09:16
if at nine years old you found out
you could swim a mile and a half
you could swim a mile and a half
203
546000
3176
09:19
in 56-degree water
from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
from Alcatraz to San Francisco.
204
549200
2696
游完恶魔岛到旧金山
全程2.4公里的距离。
全程2.4公里的距离。
09:22
What would you have said yes to?
205
551920
1416
你又会接纳哪些事？
你会抓住什么不再放弃？
又会作出怎样的努力？
又会作出怎样的努力？
09:23
What would you have not given up on?
What would you have tried?
What would you have tried?
206
553360
2856
我游完这段，到了水上公园，
09:26
As I'm finishing this swim,
I get to Aquatic Park,
I get to Aquatic Park,
207
556240
2096
从水里出来的时候，
09:28
and I'm getting out of the water
208
558360
1376
当然那时候一半孩子都已经游完了，
09:30
and of course half the kids
are already finished,
are already finished,
209
559760
2096
他们就为我各种欢呼，非常兴奋。
09:32
so they're cheering me on
and they're all excited.
and they're all excited.
210
561880
2334
我整个脸都冻麻了，
在湾区游过泳的人都知道，
在湾区游过泳的人都知道，
09:34
And I got total popsicle head,
if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,
if anyone's ever swam in the Bay,
211
564238
3016
我就一边揉脸暖和着，
一边看剩下的人不断游过来。
一边看剩下的人不断游过来。
09:37
and I'm trying to just thaw my face out,
and I'm watching people finish.
and I'm watching people finish.
212
567278
3498
这时候我发现有个孩子有点不对劲。
09:41
And I see this one kid,
something didn't look right.
something didn't look right.
213
570810
3016
他像这样拍打着水。
09:44
And he's just flailing like this.
214
573840
2016
探头时几乎无法吸气，
很快又猛地砸下水面去。
很快又猛地砸下水面去。
09:46
And he's barely able to sip some air
before he slams his head back down.
before he slams his head back down.
215
575880
3416
我看其他的家长也注意到了，
09:49
And I notice other parents
were watching too,
were watching too,
216
579320
2216
09:51
and I swear they were thinking
the same thing I was:
the same thing I was:
217
581560
2456
我发誓他们一定
在和我想同一件事：
在和我想同一件事：
这就是为什么不让九岁的孩子
从恶魔岛一路游过来的原因。
从恶魔岛一路游过来的原因。
09:54
this is why you don't let nine-year-olds
swim from Alcatraz.
swim from Alcatraz.
218
584040
3936
（但其实）这不是体力原因。
09:58
This was not fatigue.
219
588000
1216
突然，两个家长跑上去抓住他，
09:59
All of a sudden, two parents
run up and grab him,
run up and grab him,
220
589240
2296
把他的双臂架到肩上，
这么拖着他，
这么拖着他，
10:01
and they put him on their shoulders,
and they're dragging him like this,
and they're dragging him like this,
221
591560
3776
一瘸一拐地走到岸上。
10:05
totally limp.
222
595360
1856
然后突然他们又走了几步，
10:07
And then all of a sudden
they walk a few more feet
they walk a few more feet
223
597240
2336
扑通一声， 把他放回轮椅。
10:10
and they plop him down in his wheelchair.
224
599600
1976
他把拳头举起来，那种胜利的姿势
是我见过最疯狂的。
是我见过最疯狂的。
10:12
And he puts his fists up in the most
insane show of victory I've ever seen.
insane show of victory I've ever seen.
225
601600
3536
我现在还能感受到
在他完成任务的时候
在他完成任务的时候
10:15
I can still feel the warmth
and the energy on this guy
and the energy on this guy
226
605160
2656
浑身散发出的那种温暖和能量。
10:18
when he made this accomplishment.

那天早些时候我看到他坐在轮椅上，
10:19
I had seen him earlier that day
in his wheelchair.
in his wheelchair.
228
609440
2976
我完全想不到他是来游泳的。
10:22
I just had no idea he was going to swim.
229
612440
1976
这样的孩子
再过20年得有多大的成就啊？
再过20年得有多大的成就啊？
10:24
I mean, where is he
going to be in 20 years?
going to be in 20 years?
230
614440
3096
10:27
How many people told him he couldn't
do that, that he would die if tried that?
do that, that he would die if tried that?
231
617560
3416
之前会有多少人告诉他他做不到，
如果真去游泳可能会把命丢掉呢？
如果真去游泳可能会把命丢掉呢？
当你发现错误地估计了别人，
错误地估计了自己，
错误地估计了自己，
10:31
You prove people wrong,
you prove yourself wrong,
you prove yourself wrong,
232
621000
2136
你就能一点一点靠近
10:33
that you can make
little incremental pushes

233
623160
1816
自己坚信的目标。
10:35
of what you believe is possible.
234
625000
1536
你不用成为世界上
最快的马拉松运动员，
最快的马拉松运动员，
10:36
You don't have to be
the fastest marathoner in the world,
the fastest marathoner in the world,
235
626560
2416
只需要战胜对你自己来说
不可能的事，
不可能的事，
10:39
just your own impossibilities,
to accomplish those,
to accomplish those,
236
629000
2381
一小步一小步开始。
10:41
and it starts with little bitty steps.
237
631405
1976
其实最理想的方法
10:43
And the best way to do this
238
633405
2331
就是和充满热情的人相处。
10:46
is to surround yourself
with passionate people.
with passionate people.
239
635760
2216
超越自己极限最快的捷径
10:48
The fastest things to do things
you don't think can be done
you don't think can be done
240
638000
2762
就是置身于已经超越了
自身极限的人们当中。
自身极限的人们当中。
10:51
is to surround yourself
with people already doing them.
with people already doing them.
241

吉米·罗恩曾经说过，
10:53
There's this quote by Jim Rohn and it says.
242
643382
2434
“你是你最常接触的五个人的平均值。”
10:56
"You are the average of the five people
you spend the most time with."
you spend the most time with."
243
645840
3376
有史以来最厉害的人生黑客，
10:59
And there is no bigger lifehack
in the history of the world
in the history of the world
244
649240
3296
这个影响你走向未来目的地的人，
11:02
from getting where you are today
to where you want to be
to where you want to be
245
652560
3056
恰恰是你选择放在自己身边的那个人。
11:06
than the people you choose
to put in your corner.
to put in your corner.
246
655640
2896
已经有试验证实他们能改变一切。
11:08
They change everything,
and it's a proven fact.
and it's a proven fact.
247
658560
2296
1898年，诺曼·特里普莱特
进行了一项研究，
进行了一项研究，
11:11
In 1898, Norman Triplett did this study
with a bunch of cyclists,
with a bunch of cyclists,
248
660880
4296
11:15
and he would measure their times
around the track in a group,
around the track in a group,
249
665200
2800
他测量了一群自行车运动员
一起环绕跑道的时间，
一起环绕跑道的时间，
以及他们单独通过的时间。
11:18
and also individually.
250
668025
1151
11:19
And he found that every time the cyclists
in the group would cycle faster.
in the group would cycle faster.
251
669200
3696
他发现，每次测量都是
一起的时候快一些。
一起的时候快一些。
后来这个实验被反复
用在各行各业里，
用在各行各业里，
11:23
And it's been repeated
in all kinds of walks of life since then,
in all kinds of walks of life since then,
252
672920
2816
结果都证明了同一件事，
11:26
and it proves the same thing over again,
253
675760
1896
你身边的人起了重要作用
环境决定一切。
环境决定一切。
11:28
that the people around you matter,
and environment is everything.
and environment is everything.
254
677680
2856
但这个选择权在你手里，
因为你可以选择身边的人。
因为你可以选择身边的人。
11:30
But it's on you to control it,
because it can go both ways.
because it can go both ways.
255
680560
2576
如果说80%的人不喜欢现在的工作，
11:33
With 80 percent of people
who don't like the work they do,
who don't like the work they do,
256
683160
2576
那就意味着我们身边大多数人，
其他人，不是指在座的各位，
其他人，不是指在座的各位，
11:36
that means most people around us,
not in this room, but everywhere else,
not in this room, but everywhere else,
257
685760
3176
他们鼓励我们安于现状，
阻止我们追求对自己真正重要的事，
阻止我们追求对自己真正重要的事，
11:39
are encouraging complacency and keeping us
from pursuing the things that matter to us
from pursuing the things that matter to us
258
688960
3656
所以我们有必要
整理一下自己的环境。
整理一下自己的环境。
11:43
so we have to manage those surroundings.
259
692640
2056
我很真切地体会过这种境况——
11:45
I found myself in this situation --
260
694720
2000
11:49
personal example, a couple years ago.
261
698680
2896
这是我自己的例子，
发生在几年以前。
发生在几年以前。
有没有人曾经全身心投入进
一种爱好或者冲动？
一种爱好或者冲动？
11:52
Has anyone ever had a hobby or a passion
they poured their heart and soul into,
they poured their heart and soul into,
262
701600
4176
你花海量时间在上面
就想把它当自己的职业，
就想把它当自己的职业，
11:56
unbelievable amount of time, and they
so badly want to call it a business,
so badly want to call it a business,
263
705800
3496
但是别人从来不拿它当回事，
而且它还不挣钱。
而且它还不挣钱。
11:59
but no one's paying attention
and it doesn't make a dime?
and it doesn't make a dime?
264
709320
4136
是的， 我用了四年时间组织了
“活出自己的传奇“ 这个机构，
“活出自己的传奇“ 这个机构，
12:03
OK, I was there for four years trying
to build this Live Your Legend movement
to build this Live Your Legend movement
265
713480
4096
帮人们做自己真正喜欢，
让他们充满活力的工作，
让他们充满活力的工作，
12:08
to help people do work that they genuinely
cared about and that inspired them,
cared about and that inspired them,
266
717600
3336
我做了力所能及的一切，
12:11
and I was doing all I could,
267
720960
1336
关注我的只有三个人，
12:12
and there were only
three people paying attention,
three people paying attention,
268
722320
2176
他们都在这里：
我的母亲、父亲和妻子切尔西。
我的母亲、父亲和妻子切尔西。
12:14
and they're all right there:
my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.
my mother, father and my wife, Chelsea.
269
724520
3239
感谢你们的支持！
12:18
Thank you guys for the support.
270
727783
1496
（掌声）
12:19
(Applause)
271
729303
1473
我当时就是这么想做这件事，
但四年里它一直保持零增长，
但四年里它一直保持零增长，
12:21
And this is how badly I wanted it,
it grew at zero percent for four years,
it grew at zero percent for four years,
272
730800
4696
后来我都快放弃了，
12:25
and I was about to shut it down,
273
735520
1976
但也就在这前后，
12:27
and right about then,
274
737520
1696
我搬到了旧金山，
见到了一些很有意思的人，
见到了一些很有意思的人，
12:29
I moved to San Francisco and started
to meet some pretty interesting people
to meet some pretty interesting people
275
739240
3536
他们的生活疯狂刺激，
12:33
who had these crazy
lifestyles of adventure,
lifestyles of adventure,
276
742800
2216
满腔热情洒在网站和博客上，
12:35
of businesses and websites and blogs
277
745040
2016
而且还帮了别人做了有意义的事。
12:37
that surrounded their passions
and helped people in a meaningful way.
and helped people in a meaningful way.
278
747080
3256
我有个朋友，家里有8口人，
12:40
And one of my friends,
now, he has a family of eight,
now, he has a family of eight,
279
750360
2656
他养活着一大家子人的方式就是
12:43
and he supports his whole family
280
753040
2336
每周更新两次博客。
12:45
with a blog that he
writes for twice a week.
writes for twice a week.
281
755400
2856
他们全家最近刚刚从欧洲
度了一个月假回来。
度了一个月假回来。
12:48
They just came back from a month
in Europe, all of them together.
in Europe, all of them together.
282
758280
3048
我特别震惊，
靠写博客怎么可能养家呢？
靠写博客怎么可能养家呢？
12:51
This blew my mind.
How does this even exist?
How does this even exist?
283
761352
2064
这种不可思议给了我巨大的启发，
12:53
And I got unbelievably inspired
by seeing this,
by seeing this,
284
763440
3496
我不再想放弃我的事业，
开始认真对待它。
开始认真对待它。
12:57
and instead of shutting it down,
I decided, let's take it seriously.
I decided, let's take it seriously.
285
766960
2976
我尽可能地花大量时间
13:00
And I did everything I could
to spend my time,
to spend my time,
286
769960
1976
去接触这些人，
13:02
every waking hour possible
trying to hound these guys,

287
771960
2496
和他们一起吃喝玩乐，
健身运动等等。
健身运动等等。
13:04
hanging out and having beers
and workouts, whatever it was.
and workouts, whatever it was.
288
774480
2776
四年来一直都是零增长，
13:07
And after four years of zero growth,
289
777280
1736
但和这些人相识六个月中，
13:09
within six months
of hanging around these people,
of hanging around these people,
290
779040
2336
“活出自己的传奇”的
社群规模增长了十倍。
社群规模增长了十倍。
13:11
the community at Live Your Legend
grew by 10 times.
grew by 10 times.
291
781400
2696
过了12个月，又增长了160倍。
13:14
In another 12 months,
it grew by 160 times.

现在每个月都有3万多人次，
来自158多个国家，

13:18
And today over 30,000 people
from 158 countries

3056
在使用我们的职业规划
和联络工具。
和联络工具。
13:21
use our career and connection tools
on a monthly basis.
on a monthly basis.
294
791080
3096
他们的出现让这里充满了活力，
13:24
And those people have made up
that community of passionate folks
that community of passionate folks
295
794200
4376
多年前也正是他们这样的人
13:29
who inspired that possibility
that I dreamed of
that I dreamed of
296
798600
2216
给了我创建
“活出自己的传奇”的灵感。
“活出自己的传奇”的灵感。
13:31
for Live Your Legend so many years back.
297
800840
3176
人能够改变一切。这也就是为什么——
13:34
The people change everything,
and this is why --
and this is why --
298
804040
2256
你会奇怪到底发生了什么。
13:36
you know, you ask what was going on.
299
806320
2216
因为四年来
我对这个领域的人一无所知，
我对这个领域的人一无所知，
13:38
Well, for four years,
I knew nobody in this space,
I knew nobody in this space,
300
808560
2456
我甚至不知道这个领域的存在，
13:41
and I didn't even know it existed,
that people could do this stuff,
that people could do this stuff,
301
811040
3496
不知道人们还能做这样的事。
13:44
that you could have movements like this.
302
814560
1976
但我来到旧金山后，
看到周围的人都在做这件事。
看到周围的人都在做这件事。
13:46
And then I'm over here in San Francisco,
and everyone around me was doing it.
and everyone around me was doing it.
303
816560
3656
再平常不过了。
我的想法从 “我怎么可能做得到”，
我的想法从 “我怎么可能做得到”，
13:50
It became normal, so my thinking went
from how could I possibly do this
from how could I possibly do this
304
820240
4096
慢慢转变为 “我怎么可能做不到”。
13:54
to how could I possibly not.
305
824360
1816
然后一石激起千层浪，
大方向变了，
大方向变了，
13:56
And right then, when that happens,
that switch goes on in your head,
that switch goes on in your head,
306
826200
3216
其他一切都变得不同了。
13:59
it ripples across your whole world.
307
829440
1667
从这儿到这儿，不费吹灰之力，
你的标准就改变了。
你的标准就改变了。
14:01
And without even trying,
your standards go from here to here.
your standards go from here to here.
308
831131
2925
你不用改变目标，只要换一个环境。
14:04
You don't need to change your goals.
You just need to change your surroundings.
You just need to change your surroundings.
309
834080
3715
就是这么简单，
这也是为什么我愿意和这些人在一起，
这也是为什么我愿意和这些人在一起，
14:08
That's it, and that's why I love
being around this whole group of people,
being around this whole group of people,
310
837819
4357
我尽量参加每一次TED，
14:12
why I go to every TED event I can,
311
842200
1620
上班路上也在iPad上
看TED演讲的原因。
看TED演讲的原因。
14:14
and watch them on my iPad
on the way to work, whatever it is.
on the way to work, whatever it is.
312
843844
2932
因为这些人让我觉得
没有做不到的事。
没有做不到的事。
14:17
Because this is the group of people
that inspires possibility.
that inspires possibility.
313
846800
3416
我们今天在一起，以后还会常常重聚。
14:20
We have a whole day
to spend together and plenty more.
to spend together and plenty more.
314
850240
3016
总结起来，上面的三件事
14:23
To sum things up,
in terms of these three pillars,
in terms of these three pillars,
315
853280
3456
都有一个共同特点。
14:27
they all have one thing in common
more than anything else.
more than anything else.
316
856760
3936
它们完全由我们自己掌控。
14:31
They are 100 percent in our control.
317
860720
2456
不要听别人说你无法了解你自己。
14:33
No one can tell you
you can't learn about yourself.
you can't learn about yourself.
318
863200
3056
不要听别人说你不能再往前走了，
14:36
No one can tell you
you can't push your limits
you can't push your limits
319
866280
2143
你找不到自己的“不可能”，
你无法战胜它。
你无法战胜它。
14:38
and learn your own impossible
and push that.
and push that.
320
868447
2289
不要听人说
你不能和积极向上的人在一起，
你不能和积极向上的人在一起，
14:41
No one can tell you you can't
surround yourself with inspiring people
surround yourself with inspiring people
321
870760
2936
或者无法离开不停打击你的人。
14:44
or get away from the people
who bring you down.
who bring you down.
322
873720
2191
你无法阻止经济衰退、
14:46
You can't control a recession.
323
875935
1429
被炒鱿鱼，或者车祸。
14:47
You can't control getting fired
or getting in a car accident.
or getting in a car accident.
324
877388
3188
14:51
Most things are totally out of our hands.
325
880600
2096
很多事都不在我们的控制中。
但是这三件事
只有我们自己说了算。
只有我们自己说了算。
14:53
These three things are totally on us,
326
882720
2360
14:57
and they can change our whole world
if we decide to do something about it.
if we decide to do something about it.
327
887000
4150
如果我们决定行动，
就有可能彻底改变自己。
就有可能彻底改变自己。
15:02
And the thing is, it's starting to happen
on a widespread level.
on a widespread level.
328
892080
3000
而且这具有传播效应。
我刚从《福布斯》上看到
美国政府报告说，
美国政府报告说，
15:05
I just read in Forbes, the US Government
reported for the first time
reported for the first time
329
895104
3191
一个月里主动辞职的人数首次超过了
15:08
in a month where more people
had quit their jobs
had quit their jobs
330
898319
2697
裁员的人数。
15:11
than had been laid off.
331
901040
1336
他们认为这很反常，
但连续三个月都是这样。
但连续三个月都是这样。
15:12
They thought this was an anomaly,
but it's happened three months straight.
but it's happened three months straight.
332
902400
3216
在经济不景气的大环境下，
15:16
In a time where people claim
it's kind of a tough environment,
it's kind of a tough environment,
333
905640
2696
人们受够了既定的生活方式，
15:18
people are giving a middle finger
to this scripted life,
to this scripted life,
334
908360
2336
这种听别人告诉你
应该怎么过日子的生活，
应该怎么过日子的生活，
15:21
the things that people
say you're supposed to do,
say you're supposed to do,
335
910720
2056
人们不愿再放弃对自己重要的东西，
不愿把想做的事再拖下去。
不愿把想做的事再拖下去。
15:23
in exchange for things that matter to them
and do the things that inspire them.
and do the things that inspire them.
336
912800
3736
很多人现在意识到
15:26
And the thing is, people
are waking up to this possibility,
are waking up to this possibility,
337
916560
2776
你的想象力才是自己的唯一束缚。
15:29
that really the only thing that limits
possibility now is imagination.
possibility now is imagination.
338
919360
5976
这绝不是陈词滥调。
15:35
That's not a cliché anymore.
339
925360
1976
不管你真心想做的事是什么。
15:37
I don't care what it is that you're into,
what passion, what hobby.
what passion, what hobby.
340
927360
3176
要是喜欢编织，
你可以找到登峰造极的编织大师，
你可以找到登峰造极的编织大师，
15:40
If you're into knitting, you can find
someone who is killing it knitting,
someone who is killing it knitting,
341
930560
3456
15:44
and you can learn from them. It's wild.
342
934040
2336
并可以跟他们学习。
这完全取决于你。
这完全取决于你。
15:46
And that's what this whole day is about,
to learn from the folks speaking,
to learn from the folks speaking,
343
936400
3496
今天来和这里的人们学习
也是同样的道理，
也是同样的道理，
“活出自己的传奇”每天都在
更新每个人的近况，
更新每个人的近况，
15:50
and we profile these people
on Live Your Legend every day,

因为如果普通人在做不普通的事，
15:53
because when ordinary people
are doing the extraordinary,
are doing the extraordinary,
345
943360
2696
并且我们都身处其中，
15:56
and we can be around that,
346
946080
1776
15:58
it becomes normal.
347
947880
1736
这就变成了司空见惯的事儿。
并不是说要成为甘地、乔布斯那样，
做很多疯狂的事。
做很多疯狂的事。
16:00
And this isn't about being Gandhi
or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.
or Steve Jobs, doing something crazy.
348
949640
4096
就是做对你自己来说最重要的事，
16:04
It's just about doing something
that matters to you,
that matters to you,
349
953760
2429
一种只有你自己才能带来的影响。
16:06
and makes an impact
that only you can make.
that only you can make.
350
956213
2040
16:10
Speaking of Gandhi,
he was a recovering lawyer,
he was a recovering lawyer,
351
959600
3656
说到甘地，我知道他是位成功的律师，
16:13
as I've heard the term,
352
963280
1336
之前听说过，
但是他发现了自己更想做的事，
16:15
and he was called to a greater cause,
something that mattered to him,
something that mattered to him,
353
964640
3256
一种让他放不下的使命。
16:18
he couldn't not do.
354
967920
1216
甘地有句话是我的座右铭。
16:19
And he has this quote
that I absolutely live by.
that I absolutely live by.
355
969160
2239
“一开始，他们忽视你，
然后嘲笑你，
然后嘲笑你，
16:21
"First they ignore you,
then they laugh at you,
then they laugh at you,
356
971423
2313
16:24
then they fight you, then you win."
357
973760
2120
他们还会打你，
最后，他们输给了你。”
最后，他们输给了你。”
16:28
Everything was impossible
until somebody did it.
until somebody did it.
358
977960
2656
有人迈出第一步以前，
一切都是不可能的。
一切都是不可能的。
你可以选择跟告诉你你做不到，
16:31
You can either hang around the people
who tell you it can't be done
who tell you it can't be done
359
980640
3176
不要尝试做傻事的人做朋友，
16:34
and tell you you're stupid for trying,
360
983840
1816
还是给你鼓励，助你冲破枷锁，
16:36
or surround yourself with the people
who inspire possibility,
who inspire possibility,
361
985680
3296
和在座的各位一样的人。
16:39
the people who are in this room.
362
989000
1600
16:42
Because I see it as our responsibility
to show the world
to show the world
363
991600
3896
我觉得我们有责任向世人说明，
今天看来做不到的，
就是明天的新常态，
就是明天的新常态，
16:45
that what's seen as impossible
can become that new normal.
can become that new normal.
364
995520
3416
这场自我复苏的革命已经开始了。
16:49
And that's already starting to happen.
365
998960
2176
首先，做激励我们自己的事情，
16:51
First, do the things that inspire us,
366
1001160
2696
然后，我们就能激励其他人
去做让他们感到振奋的事，
去做让他们感到振奋的事，
16:54
so we can inspire other people
to do the things that inspire them.
to do the things that inspire them.
367
1003880
3696
但是做自己钟爱的事，
16:58
But we can't find that
368
1007600
1640
我们要先知道自己想要什么。
17:00
unless we know what we're looking for.
369
1010200
2056
我们要扪心自问，
17:02
We have to do our work on ourself,
370
1012280
2096
用心寻找，发现自己。
17:04
be intentional about that,
and make those discoveries.
and make those discoveries.
371
1014400
2576
我期待一个世界，80%的人
都热爱自己的工作。
都热爱自己的工作。
17:07
Because I imagine a world where 80 percent
of people love the work they do.
of people love the work they do.
372
1017000
3524
那会是怎样一番景象呢？
17:10
What would that look like?
373
1020548
1308
创新是什么样的呢？
你又会怎样对待周围的人？
你又会怎样对待周围的人？
17:12
What would the innovation be like?
How would you treat the people around you?
How would you treat the people around you?
374
1021880
4016
一切都会开始转变。
17:16
Things would start to change.
375
1025920
1380
17:19
And as we finish up,
I have just one question to ask you guys,
I have just one question to ask you guys,
376
1028800
3216
我想用一个问题来结束我的演讲，
我认为也只有这个问题最重要。
17:22
and I think it's the only
question that matters.
question that matters.
377
1032040
2736
那就是：
什么工作是你非做不可的？
什么工作是你非做不可的？
17:25
And it's what is the work
you can't not do?
you can't not do?
378
1034800
2600
17:28
Discover that, live it,
379
1038480
2256
去发现，为它奋斗，
不仅是为了自己，也为了身边的人，
17:31
not just for you,
but for everybody around you,
but for everybody around you,
380
1040760
2680
17:34
because that is what starts
to change the world.
to change the world.
381
1044400
2856
因为改变世界的起点就在这里。
什么工作，是你非做不可的？
17:37
What is the work you can't not do?
382
1047280
2320
17:40
Thank you guys.
383
1050400
