Maya瑪雅 Penn佩恩: I've been drawing畫畫 ever
since以來 I could hold保持 a crayon蠟筆,
16
52744
3289
潘瑪雅:我能握住蠟筆後就開始繪畫。
01:08
and I've been making製造 animated動畫 flip翻動 books圖書
17
56033
2083
自從三歲後,
01:10
since以來 I was three years年份 old.
18
58116
1940
我已經一直製作動畫書,
01:12
At that age年齡, I also learned學到了
about what an animator動畫製作者 was.
19
60056
3194
那時候,我也已經知道
動畫製作師是什麼的工作了。
01:15
There was a program程序 on TV電視 about jobs工作
20
63250
2333
電視上有個節目是關於
01:17
most kids孩子 don't know about.
21
65583
1762
大部分小孩子不知道的工作。
01:19
When I understood了解 that an animator動畫製作者
22
67345
1756
當我知道電視上播的卡通片
01:21
makes品牌 the cartoons卡通 I saw on TV電視,
23
69101
1832
是由動畫製作師所畫時,
01:22
I immediately立即 said, "That's what I want to be."
24
70933
3781
就立即說:「這是我要做的工作。」
01:26
I don't know if I said it mentally精神上 or out loud,
25
74714
2302
我忘掉了這個說法是存在
內心深處或大聲地說出來,
01:29
but that was a greatly非常 defining確定 moment時刻 in my life.
26
77016
3884
但那是我生命中一個決定性的時刻。
01:32
Animation動畫 and art藝術 has always been my first love.
27
80900
4327
動畫和美術從來都是我的初戀對象,
01:37
It was my love for technology技術 that sparked引發 the idea理念
28
85227
2123
我對科技的喜愛激發起
01:39
for "Malicious惡毒 Dishes碗碟."
29
87350
1866
「惡意菜」的想法。
01:41
There was a virus病毒 on my computer電腦,
30
89216
1739
我的電腦上有病毒,
01:42
and I was trying to get rid擺脫 of it,
31
90955
1647
我嘗試清除它,
01:44
and all of a sudden突然, I just thought,
32
92602
1876
突然間我想到,
01:46
what if viruses病毒 have their own擁有
little world世界 inside the computer電腦?
33
94478
2940
要是病毒在電腦裡也擁有
它們的小小世界可怎麼樣?
01:49
Maybe a restaurant餐廳 where they meet遇到 up
34
97418
2119
或者它們在餐廳相聚一起,
01:51
and do virusyvirusy things?
35
99537
1593
幹些與病毒有關的事,又怎麼樣?
01:53
And thus從而, "Malicious惡毒 Dishes碗碟" was born天生.
36
101130
3372
於是「惡意菜」誕生了。
01:56
At four years年份 old, my dad showed顯示 me
37
104502
2143
四歲時,老爸向我展示了
01:58
how to take apart距離 a computer電腦
and put it back together一起 again.
38
106645
2868
如何拆開一部電腦,
然後再次組合一起,
02:01
That started開始 my love for technology技術.
39
109513
2610
這樣便開啟了我對科技的熱愛,
02:04
I built內置 my first website網站 myself in HTMLHTML,
40
112123
3031
我用 HTML 自行建立起第一個網站,
02:07
and I'm learning學習 JavaScriptJavaScript的 and Python蟒蛇.
41
115154
2517
並學習 JavaScript 和 Python 程式語言,
02:09
I'm also working加工 on an animated動畫 series系列
42
117671
1739
也開始做一個動畫系列
02:11
called "The Pollinators授粉."
43
119410
1255
名叫「授粉昆蟲」。
02:12
It's about bees蜜蜂 and other
pollinators授粉 in our environment環境
44
120665
2216
那是關於蜜蜂和自然環境中
其他授粉昆蟲,
02:14
and why they're so important重要.
45
122881
2369
關於為何牠們是那麼重要。
02:17
If plants植物 aren't pollinated授粉 by the pollinators授粉,
46
125250
2610
如果各樣植物不經由昆蟲授粉,
02:19
then all creatures生物, including包含 ourselves我們自己,
47
127860
1909
那麼所有生物包括
02:21
that depend依靠 on these plants植物, would starve餓死.
48
129769
2516
依賴那些植物的人類就餓壞了,
02:24
So I decided決定 to take these cool creatures生物
49
132285
2208
所以我決定用這些很棒的角色
02:26
and make a superhero超級英雄 team球隊.
50
134493
3819
組成一隊超級英雄團隊。
02:30

03:09
All of my animations動畫 start開始 with ideas思路,
59
177524
3078
所有動畫都是從一些想法開始。
03:12
but what are ideas思路?
60
180602
3735
但是什麼是想法呢?
03:16
Ideas思路 can spark火花 a movement運動.
61
184337
3003
想法能激發起動力。
03:19
Ideas思路 are opportunities機會 and innovation革新.
62
187340
3669
不同的想法就是
各式各樣的機會和創新,
03:23
Ideas思路 truly are what make the world世界 go round回合.
63
191009
3619
想法的確讓地球繼續轉,
03:26
If it wasn't for ideas思路, we wouldn't不會 be
64
194628
2427
如果沒有各式各樣的想法,
03:29
where we are now with technology技術, medicine醫學,
65
197055
1983
我們就沒有現在的科技、醫學、
03:31
art藝術, culture文化, and how we even live生活 our lives生活.
66
199038
4087
藝術、文化,甚至生活方式。
03:35
At eight years年份 old, I took my ideas思路
67
203125
2262
八歲時,我落實各樣的想法,
03:37
and started開始 my own擁有 business商業 called Maya'sMaya的 Ideas思路,
68
205387
2944
開始了自己的一盤生意,
名為瑪雅創意,
03:40
and my nonprofit非營利性, Maya'sMaya的 Ideas思路 for the Planet行星.
69
208331
2776
以及一個非營利組織,
名為瑪雅創意星球。
03:43
(Laughter笑聲)
70
211107
1746
(笑聲)
03:44
And I make eco-friendly環保的 clothing服裝 and accessories飾品.
71
212853
3451
我製造衣服和飾物,
它們不會損害環境的。
03:48
I'm 13 now, and although雖然 I started開始 my business商業
72
216304
2670
現在我 13 歲了,雖然我在 2008 年
03:50
in 2008,
73
218974
1412
開始做生意,
03:52
my artistic藝術的 journey旅程 started開始 way before then.
74
220386
3310
藝術旅程卻遠早於那時就開始。
03:55
I was greatly非常 influenced影響 by art藝術, and I wanted to
75
223696
2290
我深受藝術影響,我想
03:57
incorporate合併 it in everything I did, even my business商業.
76
225986
3020
把藝術融入所做的每一件事甚至生意。
04:01
I would find different不同 fabrics面料 around the house,
77
229006
2003
我在屋裡找到不同種類的纖維,
04:03
and say, &quotQUOT;This could be a scarf圍巾 or a hat帽子,&quotQUOT;
78
231009
2255
並說:「這個可做成披巾或帽子。」
04:05
and I had all these ideas思路 for designs設計.
79
233264
3110
我有設計上全部的想法,
04:08
I noticed注意到 when I wore穿著 my creations創作,
80
236374
1853
我注意到當我穿上自家創作品時,
04:10
people would stop me and say,
81
238227
1448
其他人會停下來對我說:
04:11
"Wow, that's really cute可愛. Where can I get one?"
82
239675
2057
「哇,真的很可愛喔,
在哪裡可以找到?」
04:13
And I thought, I can start開始 my own擁有 business商業.
83
241732
3183
然後我就想到可以開公司了。
04:16
Now I didn't have any business商業 plans計劃
84
244915
1874
我沒有任何商業計劃書,
04:18
at only eight years年份 old.
85
246789
1768
我只有八歲,
04:20
I only knew知道 I wanted to make pretty漂亮 creations創作
86
248557
2027
只知道我想做一些漂亮的、
04:22
that were safe安全 for the environment環境
87
250584
1255
對環境無害的創作,
04:23
and I wanted to give back.
88
251839
2038
我要回饋。
04:25
My mom媽媽 taught me how to sew,
89
253877
1823
母親教我縫紉,
04:27
and on my back porch門廊, I would sit and make
90
255700
1997
在我家後院,我會坐下
04:29
little headbands頭帶 out of ribbon色帶,
91
257697
1521
用緞帶做些小頭飾,
04:31
and I would write down the names
and the price價錢 of each item項目.
92
259218
2600
寫下每一件貨物的名字和價格。
04:33
I started開始 making製造 more items項目 like hats帽子,
93
261818
2070
然後我開始製作更多產品,
例如各式各樣的帽子、
04:35
scarves圍巾 and bags包裝袋.
94
263888
2206
圍巾和手袋,
04:38
Soon不久, my items項目 began開始 selling銷售 all over the world世界,
95
266094
2395
產品很快在全球銷售,
04:40
and I had customers顧客 in Denmark丹麥, Italy意大利, Australia澳大利亞,
96
268489
2829
顧客來自丹麥、義大利、澳洲、
04:43
Canada加拿大 and more.
97
271318
2607
加拿大和其它地方,
04:45
Now, I had a lot to learn學習 about my business商業,
98
273925
2584
現在我需要學習很多
有關開店做生意的事情,
04:48
like branding品牌 and marketing營銷,
99
276509
1675
例如品牌和行銷學、
04:50
staying engaged訂婚 with my customers顧客,
100
278184
1758
與不同顧客洽談、
04:51
and seeing眼看 what sold出售 the most and the least最小.
101
279942
3481
理解哪樣貨品銷路最好和最不好賣,
04:55
Soon不久, my business商業 really started開始 to take off.
102
283423
2414
很快我的生意真的要起飛了。
04:57
Then one day, Forbes福布斯 magazine雜誌
contacted聯繫 me when I was 10 years年份 old.
103
285837
4247
然後有一天,當時我十歲,
富比士雜誌和我聯絡,
05:02
(Laughter笑聲)
104
290084
1593
(笑聲)
05:03
They wanted to feature特徵 me and my company公司
105
291677
2337
他們要在文章中介紹
05:06
in their article文章.
106
294014
2022
我和我的公司。
05:08
Now a lot of people ask me,
107
296036
2081
很多人問我,
05:10
why is your business商業 eco-friendly環保的?
108
298117
2426
為什麼我的生意不會損害環境的?
05:12
I've had a passion for protecting保護 the environment環境
109
300543
2524
我從小對保護環境
05:15
and its creatures生物 since以來 I was little.
110
303067
2041
和保護各樣的生物充滿熱情,
05:17
My parents父母 taught me at an early age年齡
111
305108
1917
父母在我的幼年教我
05:19
about giving back and being存在 a
good steward管家 to the environment環境.
112
307025
3294
回饋和做一個好心的環境看守員。
05:22
I heard聽說 about how the dyes染料 in some clothing服裝
113
310319
2066
我聽說過一些衣物的染料
05:24
or the process處理 of even making製造 the items項目
114
312385
2146
或在成衣製造流程中,
05:26
was harmful有害 to the people and the planet行星,
115
314531
2579
對人類和地球造成損壞,
05:29
so I started開始 doing my own擁有 research研究,
116
317110
2149
因此我開始進行研究,並發現
05:31
and I discovered發現 that even
after dyeing染色 has being存在 completed完成,
117
319259
3105
即使染色完成後,
05:34
there is a waste浪費 issue問題 that gives a negative impact碰撞
118
322364
2026
廢料還對環境產生
05:36
on the environment環境.
119
324390
1614
負面的影響,
05:38
For example, the grinding磨碎 of materials物料,
120
326004
1983
例如,材料的磨碾
05:39
or the dumping傾銷 of dried powder粉末 materials物料.
121
327987
2731
或傾倒乾粉物料,
05:42
These actions行動 can pollute污染 the air空氣,
122
330718
1700
這些行動可對空氣造成污染,
05:44
making製造 it toxic有毒的 to anyone任何人 or anything that inhales吸入 it.
123
332418
3763
使任何人吸入有毒物質。
05:48
So when I started開始 my business商業,
124
336181
1464
所以當我開始做生意時,
05:49
I knew知道 two things:
125
337645
2356
我注意到兩件事,
05:52
All of my items項目 had to be eco-friendly環保的,
126
340001
2712
我所有的產品必定不會損害環境的,
05:54
and 10 to 20 percent百分 of the profits利潤 I made製作
127
342713
2269
而 10% 至20% 的盈餘
05:56
went to local本地 and global全球 charities慈善機構
128
344982
1660
也會捐贈到本地和全球的慈善機構
05:58
and environmental環境的 organizations組織.
129
346642
2077
和環境組織。
06:00
(Applause掌聲)
130
348719
3868
(掌聲)
06:04
I feel I'm part部分 of the new wave of entrepreneurs企業家
131
352587
2549
我感到我也是新浪潮企業家的一分子,
06:07
that not only seeks尋求 to have a successful成功 business商業,
132
355136
2262
不止謀求擁有一家成功的企業,
06:09
but also a sustainable可持續發展 future未來.
133
357398
2776
也為了一個可持續發展的未來。
06:12
I feel that I can meet遇到 the needs需求 of my customers顧客
134
360174
1989
我想我能滿足顧客的需要之餘,
06:14
without compromising折中 the
ability能力 of future未來 generations
135
362163
2830
同時讓下一代
06:16
to live生活 in a greener更環保 tomorrow明天.
136
364993
2588
生活在更綠化的明天,
06:19
We live生活 in a big, diverse多種 and beautiful美麗 world世界,
137
367581
2599
我們生活在一個廣大的、
多元的、美麗的世界,
06:22
and that makes品牌 me even more passionate多情 to save保存 it.
138
370180
2456
使我更熱情地投入保存它,
06:24
But it's never enough足夠 to just
to get it through通過 your heads
139
372636
2378
但是透過你的頭腦去理解
06:27
about the things that are happening事件 in our world世界.
140
375014
2182
世界裡發生的事永不足夠,
06:29
It takes to get it through通過 your hearts心中,
141
377196
2300
必須透過你的心以達到目的,
06:31
because when you get it through通過 your heart,
142
379496
1608
