So when I was a little girl,

我還是個小女孩的時候，
00:14
a book sat on the coffee table
in our living room,
in our living room,
1

有一本書擺在我們家
客廳的咖啡茶几上，
客廳的咖啡茶几上，
00:17
just steps from our front door.

2017
離我們的前門只有幾步路。
00:19
And the living room is a first impression.
3
7958
2518
客廳是房子的第一印象。
00:22
Ours had white carpet
4

1601
我們的客廳有白色的地毯，
00:24
and a curio of my mother's
most treasured collectibles.
most treasured collectibles.
5
12125
4042
還有我媽媽最寶貴的珍藏品。
00:28
That room represented the sacrifices
of generations gone by

那間房間代表的是
數代所做的犧牲，
數代所做的犧牲，
00:33
who, by poverty or by policy,
7
21458
2976
他們因為貧困或是政策，
00:36
couldn't afford a curio of collectibles
8
24458
2518
無法負擔起珍藏品，
00:39
let alone a middle class house
to put them in.
to put them in.
9
27000
3268
更不可能擁有一間
中產階級的房子放珍藏品。
中產階級的房子放珍藏品。
00:42
That room had to stay perfect.
10
30292
2684
那間房間得要保持完美。
00:45
But I would risk messing up
that perfect room every day
that perfect room every day
11
33000
3768
但我每天都願意冒著將那間
完美的房間弄亂的風險，
完美的房間弄亂的風險，
00:48
just to see that book.
12
36792
2892
只為了去看那本書。
00:51
On the cover sat a woman
named Septima Clark.
named Septima Clark.
13
39708
3476
封面上有一名女子，
叫做塞普蒂馬克拉克。
叫做塞普蒂馬克拉克。
00:55
She sat in perfect profile
with her face raised to the sky.
with her face raised to the sky.
14
43208
4893
封面上是她的完美側面照，
她坐著，抬頭看向天空。
她坐著，抬頭看向天空。
01:00
She had perfect salt-and-pepper cornrows
15
48125
2601
她那灰白的玉米辮十分完美，
01:02
platted down the sides of her head,
16
50750
1809
垂掛在她的側臉上，
01:04
and pride and wisdom
just emanated from her dark skin.
just emanated from her dark skin.
17
52583
4893
她深色的皮膚散發出驕傲和智慧。
01:09
Septima Clark was an activist
and an educator,
and an educator,
18
57500
2684
塞普蒂馬克拉克是
活動家以及教育家。
活動家以及教育家。
01:12
a woman after whom I'd eventually
model my own career.
model my own career.
19
60208
4560
我最後是把她當作
我自己職涯的典範。
我自己職涯的典範。
01:16
But more than all the words
she ever spoke,
she ever spoke,
20
64792
2476
但，比起她所說過的所有話語，
01:19
that single portrait of Septima Clark,
21
67292
3017
她的那一張畫像
01:22
it defined confidence for me
22
70333
2476
為我闡釋了什麼叫做信心，
01:24
before I ever even knew the word.
23
72833
2726
我當時甚至還不認識信心這個詞。
01:27
It may sound simple,
24
75583
1310
聽起來可能很簡單，
01:28
but confidence is something
that we underestimate the importance of.
that we underestimate the importance of.
25
76917
4851
但我們都低估了信心的重要性。
01:33
We treat it like a nice-to-have
instead of a must-have.
instead of a must-have.
26
81792
3476
我們對信心的看法是，
能擁有當然很好，但並非一定要。
01:37
We place value on knowledge and resources
27
85292
3476
我們比較重視知識和資源，
01:40
above what we deem to be
the soft skill of confidence.
the soft skill of confidence.
28
88792
4351
多於重視被我們視為
是軟技能的信心。
是軟技能的信心。
01:45
But by most measures,
we have more knowledge
we have more knowledge
29
93167
2684
但，根據大部分的估量，
我們現在所擁有的知識和資源，
我們現在所擁有的知識和資源，
01:47
and more resources now
than at any other point in history,
than at any other point in history,
30
95875
3184
超越了歷史上的任何時點，
01:51
and still injustice abounds
and challenges persist.
and challenges persist.
31
99083
5084
但，不公正仍然無所不在，
挑戰仍然比比皆是。
挑戰仍然比比皆是。
01:56
If knowledge and resources
were all that we needed,
were all that we needed,
32
104667
2934
如果我們只需要知識和資源，
01:59
we wouldn't still be here.
33
107625
2309
就不會處在這樣的狀況中了。
02:01
And I believe that confidence
is one of the main things
is one of the main things
34
109958
2643
我相信，方程式中所缺少的要素，
02:04
missing from the equation.
35
112625
1667
其中之一就是信心。
02:07
I'm completely obsessed with confidence.
36
115208
2768
我對信心非常著迷。
02:10
It's been the most important
journey of my life,
journey of my life,
37
118000
2268
它一直是我人生中最重要的旅程，
02:12
a journey that,
to be honest, I'm still on.
to be honest, I'm still on.
38
120292
3142
老實說，我到現在都
還沒走完這段旅程。
還沒走完這段旅程。
02:15
Confidence is the necessary spark
before everything that follows.
before everything that follows.
39
123458
5685
信心是必要的火花，先有它，
其他一切才會隨之而來。
02:21
Confidence is the difference
between being inspired
between being inspired
40
129167
3476
信心是被鼓舞
和真正開始行動之間的紐帶，
02:24
and actually getting started,
41
132667
2434
02:27
between trying and doing until it's done.
42
135125
4018
嘗試做和一直做直到
完成為止之間的差別。
完成為止之間的差別。
02:31
Confidence helps us keep going
even when we failed.
even when we failed.
43
139167
3708
信心協助我們即使失敗
也要繼續走下去。
也要繼續走下去。
02:36
The name of the book on that coffee table
was "I Dream A World,"
was "I Dream A World,"
44
144125
4934
咖啡茶几上的那本書，
書名叫做
《我的夢想世界 (I Dream A World)》，
《我的夢想世界 (I Dream A World)》，
02:41
and today I dream a world
where revolutionary confidence
where revolutionary confidence
45
149083
4518
現在，在我的夢想世界中，
革命性的信心
協助實現最有野心的夢想。
02:45
helps bring about our
most ambitious dreams into reality.
most ambitious dreams into reality.
46
153625
5309
02:50
That's exactly the kind of world
that I wanted to create in my classroom
that I wanted to create in my classroom
47
158958
3435
這就是我在當老師時，
想在教室裡創造的世界，
02:54
when I was a teacher,
48
162417
1309
02:55
like a Willy Wonka world
of pure imagination,
of pure imagination,
49
163750
2684
就像純粹想像的威利旺卡世界，
02:58
but make it scholarly.
50
166458
1250
但是是學術性的。
03:01
All of my students were black or brown.
51
169083
3268
我所有的學生都是
黑人或褐色人種。
黑人或褐色人種。
03:04
All of them were growing up
in a low-income circumstance.
in a low-income circumstance.
52
172375
2708
他們都在低收入的環境中長大。
03:08
Some of them were immigrants,
some of them were disabled,
some of them were disabled,
53
176167
3017
當中有一些是移民，
有一些是身心障礙人士，
有一些是身心障礙人士，
03:11
but all of them were the very last people
54
179208
2976
但他們通通都是這個世界上
03:14
this world invites to be confident.
55
182208
2792
最後被邀請去建立信心的人。
03:17
That's why it was so important
that my classroom be a place
that my classroom be a place
56
185875
3434
那就是為什麼，把我的教室打造成
03:21
where my students could build
the muscle of confidence,
the muscle of confidence,
57
189333
3393
能讓學生建立信心的地方，
是非常重要的事，
是非常重要的事，
03:24
where they could learn to face each day
with the confidence you need
with the confidence you need
58
192750
3434
在那裡，他們能夠學習
在面對每一天時，
在面對每一天時，
能有足夠的信心，
03:28
to redesign the world
in the image of your own dreams.
in the image of your own dreams.
59
196208
4143
在自己夢想的形象之中，
去重塑這個世界。
去重塑這個世界。
03:32
After all, what are academic skills
without the confidence to use those skills
without the confidence to use those skills
60
200375
4976
畢竟，如果沒有信心
能夠應用學術技能，
能夠應用學術技能，
到外頭去改變世界，
03:37
to go out and change the world.
61
205375
1958
那這些學術技能有什麼用？
03:40
Now is when I should tell you about
two of my students, Jamal and Regina.
two of my students, Jamal and Regina.
62
208208
3851
現在我想跟各位談談我的
兩位學生，賈莫和瑞吉娜。
兩位學生，賈莫和瑞吉娜。
03:44
Now, I've changed their names,
but their stories remain the same.
but their stories remain the same.
63
212083
3768
我改了他們的名字，
但他們的故事還是一樣的。
但他們的故事還是一樣的。
03:47
Jamal was brilliant, but unfocused.
64
215875
3476
賈莫很聰明，但無法專心。
03:51
He would squirm in his chair
during independent work,
during independent work,
65
219375
2768
在獨立作業時，
他會在椅子上動來動去，
他會在椅子上動來動去，
03:54
and he would never stay still
for more than three or four minutes.
for more than three or four minutes.
66
222167
4017
他無法保持三或四分鐘
以上靜止不動。
以上靜止不動。
03:58
Students like Jamal
can perplex brand new teachers
can perplex brand new teachers
67
226208
2643
像賈莫這樣的學生
讓新老師很困擾，
讓新老師很困擾，
04:00
because they're not quite sure
how to support young people like him.
how to support young people like him.
68
228875
3958
因為他們不確定要如何
支持像他這樣的年輕人。
支持像他這樣的年輕人。
04:06
I took a direct approach.
69
234000
1434
我採用直接的方法。
04:07
I negotiated with Jamal.
70
235458
2893
我和賈莫協商。
04:10
If he could give me focused work,
71
238375
1601
如果他能專注在作業上，
他就可以在教室中的任何地方做，
他就可以在教室中的任何地方做，
04:12
then he could do it
from anywhere in the classroom,
from anywhere in the classroom,
72
240000
2434
可以在教室的地毯上，
在我的書桌後方，
在我的書桌後方，
04:14
from our classroom rug,
from behind my desk,
from behind my desk,
73
242458
2601
04:17
from inside his classroom locker,
which turned out to be his favorite place.
which turned out to be his favorite place.
74
245083
4042
在他的教室置物櫃裡，
結果發現置物櫃是他最喜愛的地方。
04:22
Jamal's least favorite
subject was writing,
subject was writing,
75
250458
2518
賈莫最不喜歡的學科就是寫作，
04:25
and he never wanted to read
what he had written out loud in class,
what he had written out loud in class,
76
253000
3601
他從來不想在班上
大聲唸出他寫的內容，
大聲唸出他寫的內容，
04:28
but we were still making progress.
77
256625
2392
但我們仍然持續有所進展。
04:31
One day, I decided to host
a mock 2008 presidential election
a mock 2008 presidential election
78
259041
4102
有一天，我決定在我的教室裡主辦
2008 年總統大選的模擬。
04:35
in my classroom.
79
263167
1309
04:36
My third graders had to research
and write a stump speech
and write a stump speech
80
264500
3476
我的三年級生必須要做研究，
並為他們所選的候選人
寫下一段政治演說：
寫下一段政治演說：
04:40
for their chosen candidate:
81
268000
1393
04:41
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton
or John McCain.
or John McCain.
82
269417
3851
巴拉克歐巴馬、
希拉蕊柯林頓，或約翰馬侃。
希拉蕊柯林頓，或約翰馬侃。
04:45
The heavy favorites were obvious,
83
273292
1976
大部分人的偏好很明顯，
04:47
but one student chose John McCain.
84
275292
3059
但有一名學生選了約翰馬侃。
04:50
It was Jamal.
85
278375
1250
就是賈莫。
04:52
Jamal finally decided to read something
that he had written out loud in class,
that he had written out loud in class,
86
280583
4768
賈莫終於決定要在班上
大聲唸出他所寫的內容，
大聲唸出他所寫的內容，
04:57
and sure enough, Jamal stunned
all of us with his brilliance.
all of us with his brilliance.
87
285375
3851
當然，賈莫的才智
讓大家都驚呆了。
讓大家都驚呆了。
05:01
Just like Jamal's dad,
John McCain was a veteran,
John McCain was a veteran,
88
289250
4059
約翰馬侃和賈莫的爸爸
一樣都是退役軍人，
一樣都是退役軍人，
05:05
and just like Jamal's dad protected him,
89
293333
2268
賈莫的爸爸會保護賈莫，
05:07
Jamal believed that John McCain
would protect the entire country.
would protect the entire country.
90
295625
4143
所以賈莫相信約翰馬侃
也會保護整個國家。
也會保護整個國家。
05:11
And he wasn't my candidate of choice,
but it didn't matter,
but it didn't matter,
91
299792
2809
他不是我會選的
候選人，但那無所謂，
候選人，但那無所謂，
05:14
because the entire class
erupted into applause,
erupted into applause,
92
302625
4143
因為全班爆出熱烈的掌聲，
05:18
a standing ovation
for our brave friend Jamal
for our brave friend Jamal
93
306792
2851
為我們勇敢的朋友賈莫起立歡呼，
05:21
who finally showed up
as his most confident self
as his most confident self
94
309667
3476
因為，他終於展現出
最有信心的自己，
最有信心的自己，
05:25
for the first time that year.
95
313167
1833
那是那一年的頭一次。
05:28
And then there was Regina.
96
316208
2351
還有瑞吉娜。
05:30
Regina was equally
as brilliant, but active.
as brilliant, but active.
97
318583
2851
瑞吉娜也同樣聰明，但很積極。
05:33
She'd inevitably finish her work early,
98
321458
2560
她總會提早完成她的工作，
05:36
and then she'd get on about the business
of distracting other students.
of distracting other students.
99
324042
3767
接著她就會開始讓其他學生分心。
05:39
(Laughter)
100
327833
1310
（笑聲）
05:41
Walking, talking,
101
329167
2267
走動、談話、
05:43
passing those notes
that teachers hate but kids love.
that teachers hate but kids love.
102
331458
2518
傳紙條，老師都討厭
但孩子都很愛。
但孩子都很愛。
05:46
You look like you passed a lot of them.
103
334000
1893
你們看起來以前傳過很多紙條。
05:47
(Laughter)
104
335917
1351
（笑聲）
05:49
Despite my high ideals for our classroom,
105
337292
3392
儘管我對教室抱有高期望，
05:52
I would too often default
to my baser instincts,
to my baser instincts,
106
340708
3476
我通常都無法實現理想，
只好回到基本，
只好回到基本，
05:56
and I would choose
compliance over confidence.
compliance over confidence.
107
344208
3643
我會選擇讓學生服從而非信心。
05:59
Regina was a glitch in my intended system.
108
347875
3851
在我打算建立的系統中，
瑞吉娜是個小毛病。
瑞吉娜是個小毛病。
06:03
A good teacher can correct misbehavior
109
351750
2643
好老師能夠糾正錯誤行為，
06:06
but still remain a student's champion.
110
354417
1851
同時繼續當學生心中的冠軍。
06:08
But on one day in particular,
111
356292
2142
但，特別在那一天，
06:10
I just plain old chose control.
112
358458
2685
我就只是選擇了控制。
06:13
I snapped,
113
361167
1684
我厲聲責罵，
06:14
and my approach
didn't communicate to Regina
didn't communicate to Regina
114
362875
2559
我的方式並不是在告訴瑞吉娜
06:17
that she was being a distraction.
115
365458
2601
她在造成其他人分心。
06:20
My approach communicated to Regina
that she herself was a distraction.
that she herself was a distraction.
116
368083
4917
我的方式告訴瑞吉娜，
她自己本身就會讓人分心。
她自己本身就會讓人分心。
06:26
I watched the light go out from her eyes,
117
374042
2226
我看見她眼中的光芒消失，
06:28
and that light sparked joy
in our classroom.
in our classroom.
118
376292
3559
那點燃教室歡樂的光芒。
06:31
I had just extinguished it.
119
379875
2143
被我消滅了。
06:34
The entire class became irritable,
120
382042
2642
整個班都變得很煩躁，
06:36
and we didn't recover
for the rest of the day.
for the rest of the day.
121
384708
2584
那一整天我們都無法恢復。
06:40
I think about the day often,
122
388250
2434
我常常會回想那一天，
06:42
and I have literally prayed
that I did not do irreparable harm,
that I did not do irreparable harm,
123
390708
4518
我祈禱我那天沒有造成
無法修復的傷害，
無法修復的傷害，
06:47
because as a woman who used to be
a little girl just like Regina,
a little girl just like Regina,
124
395250
5559
因為我自己以前也是
像瑞吉娜這樣的女孩，
像瑞吉娜這樣的女孩，
06:52
I know that I could have started
the process of killing her confidence
the process of killing her confidence
125
400833
4101
我知道我那時的做法可能引發了
一個永遠扼殺她信心的過程。
06:56
forever.
126
404958
1250
06:58
A lack of confidence
pulls us down from the bottom
pulls us down from the bottom
127
406833
3143
缺乏信心會把我們拉向谷底，
07:02
and weighs us down from the top,
128
410000
1976
把我們從頂端壓下來，
07:04
crushing us between a flurry
of can'ts, won'ts and impossibles.
of can'ts, won'ts and impossibles.
129
412000
5184
讓我們在不能做、不要做，
和不可能做之間的
慌亂中四分五裂。
慌亂中四分五裂。
07:09
Without confidence, we get stuck,
130
417208
2601
沒有信心，我們就會被困住，
07:11
and when we get stuck,
we can't even get started.
we can't even get started.
131
419833
3250
當我們被困住時，
會甚至都不知該如何開始。
會甚至都不知該如何開始。
07:16
Instead of getting mired
in what can get in our way,
in what can get in our way,
132
424083
2560
信心能讓我們不要受困在
什麼可能會阻擋我們，
什麼可能會阻擋我們，
07:18
confidence invites us
to perform with certainty.
to perform with certainty.
133
426667
4017
它會邀請我們帶著肯定去做。
07:22
We all operate a little differently
when we're sure we can win
when we're sure we can win
134
430708
3060
我們在確信自己能贏的時候，
和只是希望自己能贏的時候，
做法是有所不同的。
做法是有所不同的。
07:25
versus if we just hope we will.
135
433792
2726
07:28
Now, this can be a helpful check.
136
436542
1976
這是種很有幫助的檢查方式。
07:30
If you don't have enough confidence,
137
438542
1767
如果你沒有足夠的信心，
07:32
it could be because you need
to readjust your goal.
to readjust your goal.
138
440333
2726
有可能是因為你需要
重新調整你的目標。
重新調整你的目標。
07:35
If you have too much confidence,
139
443083
1560
如果你的信心太高，
07:36
it could be because
you're not rooted in something real.
you're not rooted in something real.
140
444667
4142
有可能是因為你並沒有
紮根在很實在的基礎上。
紮根在很實在的基礎上。
07:40
Not everyone lacks confidence.
141
448833
2601
並不是每個人都缺乏信心。
07:43
We make it easier in this society
for some people to gain confidence
for some people to gain confidence
142
451458
4518
在這個社會上，我們會
讓一些人比較容易取得信心，
讓一些人比較容易取得信心，
07:48
because they fit our preferred
archetype of leadership.
archetype of leadership.
143
456000
3958
因為他們符合我們
偏愛的領導原型。
偏愛的領導原型。
07:52
We reward confidence in some people
144
460833
2518
我們會獎勵某些人的信心，
07:55
and we punish confidence in others,
145
463375
2476
我們會懲罰某些人的信心，
07:57
and all the while far too many people
146
465875
2518
而至始至終，都有太多人
08:00
are walking around
every single day without it.
every single day without it.
147
468417
3392
每天沒有信心地過日子。
08:03
For some of us,
148
471833
2393
對我們當中的某些人來說，
08:06
confidence is a revolutionary choice,
149
474250
2667
信心是一個革命性的選擇，
08:09
and it would be our greatest shame
150
477833
2310
我們最大的遺憾會是
08:12
to see our best ideas go unrealized
151
480167
3101
看著我們最好的點子沒有實現，
08:15
and our brightest dreams go unreached
152
483292
2476
最聰明的夢想沒有達成，
08:17
all because we lacked
the engine of confidence.
the engine of confidence.
153
485792
3851
全都是因為我們缺乏
信心來當動力引擎。
信心來當動力引擎。
08:21
That's not a risk I'm willing to take.
154
489667
2166
那不是我想實現的。
08:24
So how do we crack the code on confidence?
155
492792
2059
所以，我們要如何
破解信心的密碼？
破解信心的密碼？
08:26
In my estimation,
it takes at least three things:
it takes at least three things:
156
494875
3518
依我的估計，
會需要至少三樣東西：
會需要至少三樣東西：
08:30
permission, community and curiosity.
157
498417
3416
許可、群體，和好奇心。
08:34
Permission births confidence,
158
502625
1893
許可會產生信心，
08:36
community nurtures it
159
504542
2517
群體會滋養信心，
08:39
and curiosity affirms it.
160
507083
1834
好奇心會確立信心。
08:41
In education, we've got a saying,
161
509833
1768
在教育中，有一個說法：
08:43
that you can't be what you can't see.
162
511625
2726
看不見的，就不可能做到。
08:46
When I was a little girl,
I couldn't show confidence
I couldn't show confidence
163
514375
2643
當我很小的時候，
直到別人為我展示，
直到別人為我展示，
08:49
until someone showed me.
164
517042
2141
我才學會展示信心。
08:51
My family used to do everything together,
165
519207
1976
我的家人以前會一起做所有事，
08:53
including the mundane things,
like buying a new car,
like buying a new car,
166
521207
2686
包括很平凡的事，比如買新車，
08:55
and every time we did this,
167
523917
1517
每次我們去買車時，
08:57
I'd watch my parents
put on the exact same performance.
put on the exact same performance.
168
525458
4268
我就會看著我的父母
上演同樣的劇碼。
上演同樣的劇碼。
09:01
We'd enter the dealership,
169
529750
1434
我們會進入經銷店，
09:03
and my dad would sit
170
531208
2768
我爸爸會坐下，
09:06
while my mom shopped.
171
534000
2143
我媽媽會負責逛。
09:08
When my mom found a car that she liked,
172
536167
2642
當我媽媽找到一台她喜歡的車，
09:10
they'd go in and meet with the dealer,
173
538833
2185
他們會進去和經銷業務見面，
09:13
and inevitably, every time
the dealer would turn his attention
the dealer would turn his attention
174
541042
3851
沒有例外，每一次，
經銷者都會把他的注意力
經銷者都會把他的注意力
09:16
and his body to my dad,
175
544917
3017
和他的身體轉向我爸爸，
09:19
assuming that he
controlled the purse strings
controlled the purse strings
176
547958
2351
假設我爸爸掌控家中的開支，
09:22
and therefore this negotiation.
177
550333
1976
因此掌控了這次協商。
09:24
"Rev. Packnett," they'd say,
"how do we get you into this car today?"
"how do we get you into this car today?"
178
552333
4500
「瑞夫派克奈特，」他們會說：
「如何才能讓你今天買下這台車？」
09:29
My dad would inevitably
respond the same way.
respond the same way.
179
557833
3893
我爸爸都會用同樣的方式回應。
09:33
He'd slowly and silently
gesture toward my mother
gesture toward my mother
180
561750
4851
他會慢慢地、靜靜地
用手勢指向我媽媽，
用手勢指向我媽媽，
09:38
and then put his hands
right back in his lap.
right back in his lap.
181
566625
2143
接著再把他的手放回到他的膝上。
09:40
It might have been the complete shock
182
568792
1934
在八十年代，和黑人女性談財務
09:42
of negotiating finances
with a black woman in the '80s,
with a black woman in the '80s,
183
570750
2851
是很驚人的事，
09:45
but whatever it was,
184
573625
1309
但，不論如何，
09:46
I'd watch my mother
work these car dealers over
work these car dealers over
185
574958
3476
我會看著我媽媽狠逼
這些汽車經銷業務，
這些汽車經銷業務，
09:50
until they were basically
giving the car away for free.
giving the car away for free.
186
578458
2601
逼到他們幾乎是把車免費奉上。
09:53
(Laughter)
187
581083
1310
（笑聲）
她絕對不會綻放笑容。
09:54
She would never crack a smile.
188
582417
1458
09:56
She would never be afraid to walk away.
189
584958
2334
她絕對不會害怕轉身離開。
10:00
I know my mom just thought
she was getting a good deal on a minivan,
she was getting a good deal on a minivan,
190
588333
3893
我知道我媽媽只是認為
她用好價格買到了一台休旅車，
她用好價格買到了一台休旅車，
10:04
but what she was actually doing
191
592250
2143
但她在做的事，
10:06
was giving me permission
to defy expectations
to defy expectations
192
594417
4642
就是給我許可，可以反抗期望，
10:11
and to show up confidently in my skill
no matter who doubts me.
no matter who doubts me.
193
599083
3625
可以很有信心地帶著技能出現，
不論誰懷疑我。
10:15
Confidence needs permission to exist
194
603750
3559
只有這樣的許可能激發信心。
10:19
and community is the safest place
to try confidence on.
to try confidence on.
195
607333
4268
而嘗試信心最安全的地方，
就是群體。
10:23
I traveled to Kenya this year
to learn about women's empowerment
to learn about women's empowerment
196
611625
3059
今年我到了肯尼亞一趟，
去了解馬賽族女性賦權的狀況。
10:26
among Maasai women.
197
614708
1685
10:28
There I met a group of young women
198
616417
2059
在那裡，我見到了一群
年輕女子，叫做母獅團，
年輕女子，叫做母獅團，
10:30
called Team Lioness,
199
618500
1684
10:32
among Kenya's first all-female
community ranger groups.
community ranger groups.
200
620208
4393
是肯尼亞最早的全女性
社區巡邏隊團體之一。
社區巡邏隊團體之一。
10:36
These eight brave young women
were making history
were making history
201
624625
3143
這八位勇敢的年輕女子
還不到二十歲就在創造歷史，
10:39
in just their teenage years,
202
627792
1517
10:41
and I asked Purity, the most verbose
young ranger among them,
young ranger among them,
203
629333
4226
我問她們當中最囉嗦的
巡邏隊員皮洛蒂：
巡邏隊員皮洛蒂：
10:45
"Do you ever get scared?"
204
633583
1935
「你可曾感到害怕？」
10:47
I swear to you, I want to tattoo
her response all over my entire body.
her response all over my entire body.
205
635542
4267
我發誓，我想要把她的回應
刺青在我全身上。
刺青在我全身上。
10:51
She said, "Of course I do,
206
639833
2768
她說：「當然，我會害怕，
10:54
but I call on my sisters.
207
642625
2309
但我號召我的姐妹們。
10:56
They remind me that we
will be better than these men
will be better than these men
208
644958
3518
她們提醒我，
我們不會比這些男人差，
我們不會比這些男人差，
11:00
and that we will not fail."
209
648500
1542
且我們不會失敗。」
11:03
Purity's confidence to chase down
lions and catch poachers,
lions and catch poachers,
210
651125
3601
皮洛蒂很有信心去追蹤獅子，
去捕捉偷獵者，
去捕捉偷獵者，
11:06
it didn't come from her athletic ability
or even just her faith.
or even just her faith.
211
654750
4351
那信心並不是來自於她的
運動員能力或是她的信念。
運動員能力或是她的信念。
11:11
Her confidence was
propped up by sisterhood,
propped up by sisterhood,
212
659125
3684
她的信心是被她的姐妹情誼、
11:14
by community.
213
662833
1768
被群體支撐起來的。
11:16
What she was basically saying
was that if I am ever in doubt,
was that if I am ever in doubt,
214
664625
3934
基本上，她在說的就是，
如果我在任何時候感到懷疑，
如果我在任何時候感到懷疑，
11:20
I need you to be there
215
668583
2310
我需要你在身邊，
11:22
to restore my hope
216
670917
1892
重拾我的希望，
11:24
and to rebuild my certainty.
217
672833
2935
重建我的把握。
11:27
In community, I can find my confidence
218
675792
4559
在群體中，我可以找到我的信心，
11:32
and your curiosity can affirm it.
219
680375
3226
而你的好奇心能夠確認它。
11:35
Early in my career,
I led a large-scale event
I led a large-scale event
220
683625
2518
在我職涯初期，我主導了
一項大規模的活動，
一項大規模的活動，
11:38
that did not go exactly as planned.
221
686167
2226
結果並不如計畫。
11:40
I'm lying to you. It was terrible.
222
688417
2726
我在騙你們。狀況其實糟透了。
11:43
And when I debriefed the event
with my manager,
with my manager,
223
691167
2392
當我跟我的經理做活動匯報時，
11:45
I just knew that she
was going to run down the list
was going to run down the list
224
693583
2810
我知道她將會把我過去
犯過的所有錯誤通通翻出來，
11:48
of every mistake I had ever made,
225
696417
2309
11:50
probably from birth.
226
698750
1476
可能從出生開始。
11:52
But instead, she opened with a question:
227
700250
4184
但，她沒這麼做，
她反而用一個問題來開場：
她反而用一個問題來開場：
11:56
What was your intention?
228
704458
1709
你的意圖是什麼？
11:59
I was surprised but relieved.
229
707500
2893
我很驚訝，但也鬆了一口氣。
12:02
She knew that I was already
beating myself up,
beating myself up,
230
710417
2892
她知道我已經很自責了，
12:05
and that question invited me
to learn from my own mistakes
to learn from my own mistakes
231
713333
4476
而那個問題，邀請我
從我自己的錯誤中學習，
從我自己的錯誤中學習，
12:09
instead of damage
my already fragile confidence.
my already fragile confidence.
232
717833
3893
而不是再去傷害
我那已經很脆弱的信心。
我那已經很脆弱的信心。
12:13
Curiosity invites people
to be in charge of their own learning.
to be in charge of their own learning.
233
721750
5101
好奇心能邀請人們
去掌控他們自己的學習。
去掌控他們自己的學習。
12:18
That exchange, it helped me
approach my next project
approach my next project
234
726875
3809
那次交流協助我
在做下一個專案計畫時，
在做下一個專案計畫時，
12:22
with the expectation of success.
235
730708
2584
能夠懷著成功的預期去做。
12:26
Permission, community, curiosity:
236
734750
3375
許可、群體、好奇心：
12:31
all of these are the things that we
will need to breed the confidence
will need to breed the confidence
237
739042
4476
必須要有這三樣東西，
才能培育出信心，
才能培育出信心，
12:35
that we'll absolutely need
to solve our greatest challenges
to solve our greatest challenges
238
743542
4059
一定要有這樣的信心，
才能夠解決我們最大的挑戰，
才能夠解決我們最大的挑戰，
12:39
and to build the world we dream,
239
747625
2601
建立我們夢想的世界，
12:42
a world where inequity is ended
and where justice is real,
and where justice is real,
240
750250
5101
在這個世界中，不再有不平等，
且正義是真實的，
12:47
a world where we can be free
on the outside and free on the inside
on the outside and free on the inside
241
755375
3226
在這個世界中，
我們從内而外都是自由的，
我們從内而外都是自由的，
12:50
because we know that none of us are free
until all of us are free.
until all of us are free.
242
758625
4559
因為我們知道，
除非所有人都得到自由，
除非所有人都得到自由，
不然沒有人會得到自由。
12:55
A world that isn't
intimidated by confidence
intimidated by confidence
243
763208
2726
在這個世界中，
不再有人會覺得被信心脅迫，
不再有人會覺得被信心脅迫，
12:57
when it shows up as a woman
244
765958
1935
即使信心出現時的模樣
是女性，或黑皮膚，
是女性，或黑皮膚，
12:59
or in black skin
245
767917
1267
13:01
or in anything other than
our preferred archetypes of leadership.
our preferred archetypes of leadership.
246
769208
4560
或任何其他跟我們偏愛的
領導原型不同的模樣。
領導原型不同的模樣。
13:05
A world that knows
that that kind of confidence
that that kind of confidence
247
773792
2559
這個世界知道，那種信心
13:08
is exactly the key we need
to unlock the future that we want.
to unlock the future that we want.
248
776375
4625
正是我們開啟
我們盼望之未來的鑰匙。
我們盼望之未來的鑰匙。
13:14
I have enough confidence
to believe that that world
to believe that that world
249
782042
2892
我有足夠的信心，
相信那樣的世界
相信那樣的世界
13:16
will indeed come to pass,
250
784958
2310
確實會成真，
13:19
and that we are the ones to make it so.
251
787292
3267
而我們則是讓它成真的那群人。
13:22
Thank you so much.
252
790583

非常感謝。
