and when I was released
into the custody of my mother,

00:47
the first words my uncle said was,
"How'd you get caught?"

我叔叔問我的第一句話是：
「你是怎麼被抓的？」

我說：「老兄，可是錢幣很小啊！

00:55
I said, "Man, they were small.

We needed gas money to get home.
19
51000
1640
因為我們需要錢加油，才能回家。
01:05
That was my life.
20
53280
1200
這就是我的人生。
01:07
I grew up in Oakland, California,
21
55440
1856
我生長在加州奧克蘭，
01:09
with my mother and members
of my immediate family

和我的母親以及沉迷於古柯鹼的親戚

住在一起。
01:13
My environment consisted
of living with family, friends,

我就在家人、朋友
01:18

Oftentimes, dinner was served

01:25
The big homie told me this:
27
73440
1856
這個大家庭教導我的是：
金錢統治著這個世界，
01:27
money rules the world
28
75320
1976
以及當中的所有事物。
01:29
and everything in it.
29
77320
1216
01:30
And in these streets, money is king.
30
78560
2080
而在這幾條街上，金錢才是王道。
01:33
And if you follow the money,
31
81320
1616
如果你追隨著金錢，
01:34
it'll lead you to the bad guy
or the good guy.
or the good guy.
32
82960
2520
它會引導你成為壞人或是好人。
01:38
Soon after, I committed my first crime,
33
86080
2536
不久之後我犯下了人生第一個案件，
01:40
and it was the first time
that I was told that I had potential
that I was told that I had potential
34
88640
2976
這是第一次有人告訴我，
我很有潛力，
我很有潛力，
01:43
and felt like somebody believed in me.
35
91640
1840
感覺就像是有人願意相信我。
01:46
Nobody ever told me
that I could be a lawyer,
that I could be a lawyer,
36
94240
2136
因為從來沒有人告訴過我，
我可能會成為律師、
我可能會成為律師、
醫生或工程師。
01:48
doctor or engineer.
37
96400
1656
01:50
I mean, how was I supposed to do that?
I couldn't read, write or spell.
I couldn't read, write or spell.
38
98080
3416
我的意思是，什麼是我應該做的？
我不會閱讀、寫字甚至是拼字。
我不會閱讀、寫字甚至是拼字。
我是個文盲。
01:53
I was illiterate.
39
101520
1216
所以我一直認為，
犯罪是我唯一能走的路。
犯罪是我唯一能走的路。
01:54
So I always thought
crime was my way to go.
crime was my way to go.
40
102760
2560
01:59
And then one day
41
107480
1696
後來有一天，
02:01
I was talking to somebody
42
109200
1256
我在跟某人聊天時，
02:02
and he was telling me
about this robbery that we could do.
about this robbery that we could do.
43
110480
3600
他告訴我，我們可以去搶劫。
02:06
And we did it.
44
114760
1200
而我們真的做了。
02:09
The reality was that I was growing up
45
117080
1816
現實就是，雖然我生長在
全球最強大的金融國家──
02:10
in the strongest
financial nation in the world,
financial nation in the world,
46
118920
2216
美利堅合眾國，
02:13
the United States of America,
47
121160
1856
02:15
while I watched my mother
stand in line at a blood bank
stand in line at a blood bank
48
123040
4080
而我卻只能眼睜睜看著母親
排在血庫外的隊伍中，
排在血庫外的隊伍中，
02:20
to sell her blood for 40 dollars
just to try to feed her kids.
just to try to feed her kids.
49
128680
3680
賣出她的血液賺取 40 美元，
只是為了讓她的孩子有飯吃。
只是為了讓她的孩子有飯吃。
到今天，她的手臂
仍然留著針孔的痕跡，
仍然留著針孔的痕跡，
02:25
She still has the needle marks
on her arms to day to show for that.
on her arms to day to show for that.
50
133320
3320
見證著當時那段日子。
02:29
So I never cared about my community.
51
137480
1736
所以，我從來不關心我居住的社區。
02:31
They didn't care about my life.
52
139240
1496
他們也不關心我的人生。
02:32
Everybody there was doing what they
were doing to take what they wanted,
were doing to take what they wanted,
53
140760
3416
那裡的每個人
都在做他們自己的事情，
都在做他們自己的事情，
以換取他們想要的東西。
無論是毒販、搶匪或是血庫，
02:36
the drug dealers,
the robbers, the blood bank.
the robbers, the blood bank.
54
144200
2176
每個人都在賺血腥錢。
02:38
Everybody was taking blood money.
55
146400
1616
所以，我也用
各種必要的手段來賺錢。
各種必要的手段來賺錢。
02:40
So I got mine by any means necessary.
56
148040
1896
02:41
I got mine.
57
149960
1576
我也賺了血腥錢。
02:43
Financial literacy
really did rule the world,
really did rule the world,
58
151560
2120
財務素養的確主宰著這個世界，
02:46
and I was a child slave to it
59
154680
1976
而我只是追隨著
這個壞傢伙的童工奴隸之一。
這個壞傢伙的童工奴隸之一。
02:48
following the bad guy.
60
156680
1240
02:52
At 17 years old, I was arrested
for robbery and murder
for robbery and murder
61
160280
3176
在 17 歲那年，
我因為搶劫殺人被逮捕，
我因為搶劫殺人被逮捕，
02:55
and I soon learned that finances in prison
rule more than they did on the streets,
rule more than they did on the streets,
62
163480
3976
我很快就學到，
財務素養在監獄中，
甚至比在街道上更為重要，
甚至比在街道上更為重要，
02:59
so I wanted in.
63
167480
1200
所以我想要瞭解它。
03:01
One day, I rushed to grab
the sports page of the newspaper
the sports page of the newspaper
64
169600
3056
有一天，我急著想要
搶到報紙的體育版，
搶到報紙的體育版，
03:04
so my celly could read it to me,
65
172680
1816
這樣才能讓獄友讀報給我聽，
03:06
and I accidentally
picked up the business section.
picked up the business section.
66
174520
2416
然而我無意之中拿到了商業版。
03:08
And this old man said,
"Hey youngster, you pick stocks?"
"Hey youngster, you pick stocks?"
67
176960
3256
我的老獄友說：
「嘿！小伙子，你會挑選股票嗎？」
「嘿！小伙子，你會挑選股票嗎？」
03:12
And I said, "What's that?"
68
180240
1256
我說：「那是什麼？」
03:13
He said, "That's the place
where white folks keep all their money."
where white folks keep all their money."
69
181520
3176
他說：「這就是白人
藏著錢的地方。」
藏著錢的地方。」
（笑聲）
03:16
(Laughter)
70
184720
1216
這是第一次，我看到了希望，
03:17
And it was the first time
that I saw a glimpse of hope,
that I saw a glimpse of hope,
71
185960
3856
還有未來。
03:21
a future.
72
189840
1496
03:23
He gave me this brief description
of what stocks were,
of what stocks were,
73
191360
2600
他用簡短的描述，
告訴我什麼是股票，
告訴我什麼是股票，
03:26
but it was just a glimpse.
74
194800
1440
但這也只是驚鴻一瞥。
03:30
I mean, how was I supposed to do it?
75
198360
1776
我的意思是，我應該怎麼做？
03:32
I couldn't read, write or spell.
76
200160
1760
我不會閱讀、寫字甚至是拼字。
03:34
The skills that I had developed
to hide my illiteracy
to hide my illiteracy
77
202600
2616
過去我已經培養出各種技巧，
來隱藏自己是文盲，
來隱藏自己是文盲，
03:37
no longer worked in this environment.
78
205240
1976
但是在這個環境中，
這些都不再有用。
這些都不再有用。
03:39
I was trapped in a cage,
prey among predators,
prey among predators,
79
207240
3096
我彷彿被困在牢籠裡，
處在一群掠奪者之中，
成為他們的獵物。
成為他們的獵物。
03:42
fighting for freedom I never had.
80
210360
1896
為從未獲得過的自由而戰鬥。
03:44
I was lost, tired,
81
212280
2176
我迷失了，覺得累了，
03:46
and I was out of options.
82
214480
1360
但我卻束手無策。
03:49
So at 20 years old,
83
217000
1776
所以在 20 歲時，
03:50
I did the hardest thing
I'd ever done in my life.
I'd ever done in my life.
84
218800
2520
我做了一件我生命中
最困難的事情。
最困難的事情。
03:54
I picked up a book,
85
222160
1200
我拿起了一本書，開始閱讀。
03:57
and it was the most agonizing
time of my life,
time of my life,
86
225400
2480
這是我一生中最痛苦的時光，
04:01
trying to learn how to read,
87
229320
1816
我努力學習如何閱讀，
04:03
the ostracizing from my family,
88
231160
2616
然而我卻被我的家庭、
04:05
the homies.
89
233800
1200
我的兄弟所排斥。
04:08
It was rough, man.
90
236280
1456
這真的很艱難。
這是一場戰爭。
04:09
It was a struggle.
91
237760
1376
04:11
But little did I know
92
239160
1696
但當時我還不知道，
04:12
I was receiving the greatest gifts
I had ever dreamed of:
I had ever dreamed of:
93
240880
3416
我從中得到夢想中最珍貴的禮物：
04:16
self-worth,
94
244320
1200
自我價值、
04:18
knowledge, discipline.
95
246320
1840
知識、紀律。
04:21
I was so excited to be reading that I read
everything I could get my hands on:
everything I could get my hands on:
96
249000
3696
閱讀令我感到興奮，
於是我讀了所有能看到的東西：

糖果包裝、服飾商標、
道路標誌，所有的東西。
道路標誌，所有的東西。
04:24
candy wrappers, clothing logos,
street signs, everything.

97
252720
3335
04:28
I was just reading stuff!
98
256079
1217
我只是拼命地讀！
04:29
(Applause)
99
257320
1016
（鼓掌）
04:30
Just reading stuff.

258360
1200
只是拼命地讀！
04:33
I was so excited to know how to read
and know how to spell.
and know how to spell.
101
261360
2800
我很興奮地學習如何閱讀和拼字。
04:36
The homie came up, said,
"Man, what you eating?"
"Man, what you eating?"
102
264720
2256
有次一位哥們看到我，
他說：「老兄，你在吃什麼？」
他說：「老兄，你在吃什麼？」
我說：「C-A-N-D-Y，糖果。」
04:39
I said, "C-A-N-D-Y, candy."
103
267000
1736
04:40
(Laughter)
104
268760
2256
（笑聲）
04:43
He said, "Let me get some."
I said, "N-O. No."
I said, "N-O. No."
105
271040
2496
他說：「給我一些。」
我回答：「N-O，不要。」
我回答：「N-O，不要。」
04:45
(Laughter)
106
273560
1216
（笑聲）
04:46
It was awesome.
107
274800
1416
這實在太棒了。
04:48
I mean, I can actually now
for the first time in my life read.
for the first time in my life read.
108
276240
3176
我的意思是，
在我人生中第一次能夠閱讀。
在我人生中第一次能夠閱讀。
04:51
The feeling that I got
from it was amazing.
from it was amazing.
109
279440
2040
我從閱讀當中得到的感受
是充滿驚奇的。
是充滿驚奇的。
04:55
And then at 22, feeling myself,
110
283240
2600
到了 22 歲時，我感受到自我，
04:58
feeling confident,
111
286800
1736
感受到自信。
05:00
I remembered what the OG told me.
112
288560
1840
於是我想起了當年老獄友告訴我的。
05:03
So I picked up the business section
of the newspaper.
of the newspaper.
113
291760
3736
於是我拿起報紙的商業版面，
05:07
I wanted to find these rich white folks.
114
295520
1936
我試著要找到這些有錢的白人。
05:09
(Laughter)
115
297480
1600
（笑聲）
05:12
So I looked for that glimpse.
116
300520
1920
所以我開始尋找那些蛛絲馬跡。
05:15
As I furthered my career
117
303480
1616
隨著我進一步發展事業──
05:17
in teaching others how to
financially manage money and invest,
financially manage money and invest,
118
305120
3856
教導別人如何管理金錢和投資，
05:21
I soon learned that I had to take
responsibility for my own actions.
responsibility for my own actions.
119
309000
3336
我很快就學到，
我必須為自己的行為負責。
我必須為自己的行為負責。
05:24
True, I grew up
in a very complex environment,
in a very complex environment,
120
312360
3016
的確，我在生長在一個
非常複雜的環境中，
非常複雜的環境中，
05:27
but I chose to commit crimes,
121
315400
1936
但我必須坦白地承認，
05:29
and I had to own up to that.
122
317360
1776
是我自己選擇走上犯罪的道路。
05:31
I had to take responsibility
for that, and I did.
for that, and I did.
123
319160
2616
我必須承擔責任，而我做到了。
05:33
I was building a curriculum
that could teach incarcerated men
that could teach incarcerated men
124
321800
2896
我正在建立一套課程，
要教導監獄裡的犯人

05:36
how to manage money
through prison employments.

125
324720
2280
如何藉由監獄的勞動工作進行理財。
05:40
Properly managing our lifestyle
would provide transferrable tools

126
328720
3176
學會管理好自己的生活方式，
未來也將成為一個有用的工具，

05:43
that we can use to manage money
when we reenter society,

當我們重新回到社會時，
可以用它來管理財務，

05:47
like the majority of people did
who didn't commit crimes.

128
335280
3256
就像沒有走上犯罪之路的
大多數人所做的理財方式。
大多數人所做的理財方式。
05:50
Then I discovered
129
338560

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Curtis "Wall Street" Carroll - Financial literacy advocateCurtis “Wall Street” Carroll overcame poverty, illiteracy, incarceration and a lack of outside support to become a stock investor, creator and teacher of his own financial literacy philosophy.
Why you should listen
The media calls Curtis "Wall Street" Carroll the "Oracle of San Quentin" for his stock picking prowess and ability to translate financial information into simple language for his students.
Carroll grew up in Oakland, California surrounded by poverty. In 1996, at 17 years old, he committed a robbery where a man was killed. He turned himself in and ended up an illiterate teenager in prison with a 54-to-life sentence. While in prison, the stock market captured his attention, but due to his illiteracy he couldn't learn more about it. Motivating by the lure of financial gaining, he taught himself how to read at 20-21 years old, and then he started studying the stock market. Carroll's role models changed from drug dealers and sports figures to Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. He wanted others to learn this new way of making money.
When Carroll arrived at San Quentin in 2012, he met Troy Williams, who helped him start the Financial Literacy Program. Together they created the philosophy F.E.E.L (Financial Empowerment Emotional Literacy) that teaches people to recognize how their emotions affect their financial decision, and how to separate the two.
