So when I was a little girl,

1851
当我还是一个小女孩的时候，
00:14
a book sat on the coffee table
in our living room,
in our living room,
1
2583
3310
我家客厅的咖啡桌上有一本书，
00:17
just steps from our front door.
2

2017
离我家前门只有几步的距离。
客厅是一个家的门面。
00:19
And the living room is a first impression.

2518
我家客厅里摆着一张白色地毯，
00:22
Ours had white carpet
4

1601
00:24
and a curio of my mother's
most treasured collectibles.

5

以及一件我母亲
十分珍爱的古董藏品。
十分珍爱的古董藏品。
00:28
That room represented the sacrifices
of generations gone by
of generations gone by

那个房间凝聚了好几代人的心血，
囿于贫穷或政策，
00:33
who, by poverty or by policy,
7
21458
2976
我的祖先们买不起一件古董，
00:36
couldn't afford a curio of collectibles
8
24458
2518
更不必说一间能放
古董的中产阶级房产。
古董的中产阶级房产。
00:39
let alone a middle class house
to put them in.
to put them in.
9
27000
3268
因此那个房间必须保持完美。
00:42
That room had to stay perfect.
10
30292
2684
但我每天都愿冒着
弄乱那个房间的危险，
弄乱那个房间的危险，
00:45
But I would risk messing up
that perfect room every day
that perfect room every day
11
33000
3768
只为了看那本书。
00:48
just to see that book.
12

书封面上是一个名为
赛普蒂玛·克拉克的女性。
赛普蒂玛·克拉克的女性。
00:51
On the cover sat a woman
named Septima Clark.
named Septima Clark.
13
39708

她侧着身，抬头望向天空。
00:55
She sat in perfect profile
with her face raised to the sky.
with her face raised to the sky.
14
43208
4893
01:00
She had perfect salt-and-pepper cornrows
15
48125
2601
她银灰色的头发
梳成了完美的玉米辫，
梳成了完美的玉米辫，
01:02
platted down the sides of her head,
16
50750
1809
从她头的两侧垂下，
01:04
and pride and wisdom
just emanated from her dark skin.
just emanated from her dark skin.
17
52583
4893
自豪与智慧的气质
流动在她深色的皮肤之下。
流动在她深色的皮肤之下。
赛普蒂玛是一名活动家和教育家，
01:09
Septima Clark was an activist
and an educator,
and an educator,
18
57500
2684
01:12
a woman after whom I'd eventually
model my own career.
model my own career.
19
60208
4560
我仿照着她的样子，
建立了自己的事业。
建立了自己的事业。
01:16
But more than all the words
she ever spoke,
she ever spoke,
20
64792
2476
但比她讲过的话更重要的是，
01:19
that single portrait of Septima Clark,
21
67292
3017
当时她的那张照片，
01:22
it defined confidence for me
22
70333
2476
在我认字之前，
就教会了我什么叫作自信。
01:24
before I ever even knew the word.
23
72833
2726
01:27
It may sound simple,
24
75583
1310
这听起来可能很简单，
01:28
but confidence is something
that we underestimate the importance of.
that we underestimate the importance of.
25
76917
4851
但我们常常低估自信的重要性。
01:33
We treat it like a nice-to-have
instead of a must-have.
instead of a must-have.
26
81792
3476
我们把自信当作锦上添花，
而非必要之物。
而非必要之物。
01:37
We place value on knowledge and resources
27
85292
3476
我们抬高知识与资源，
却看低自信，觉得它
不过是个软技能。
不过是个软技能。
01:40
above what we deem to be
the soft skill of confidence.
the soft skill of confidence.
28
88792
4351
01:45
But by most measures,
we have more knowledge
we have more knowledge
29
93167
2684
在大多数情况下，
我们拥有远超过去的知识和资源，
01:47
and more resources now
than at any other point in history,
than at any other point in history,
30
95875
3184
01:51
and still injustice abounds
and challenges persist.
and challenges persist.
31
99083
5084
却未能克服所有的不公和挑战。
01:56
If knowledge and resources
were all that we needed,
were all that we needed,
32
104667
2934
如果知识和资源能
满足我们所有的需求，
满足我们所有的需求，
01:59
we wouldn't still be here.
33
107625
2309
那我们就不会仍在原地踏步。
02:01
And I believe that confidence
is one of the main things
is one of the main things
34
109958
2643
在我眼中，自信是平衡的天平上
所缺失的重要的一块。
02:04
missing from the equation.
35
112625
1667
02:07
I'm completely obsessed with confidence.
36
115208
2768
我对自信非常着迷。
02:10
It's been the most important
journey of my life,
journey of my life,
37
118000
2268
在过去的大部分人生中
我一直充满自信，
我一直充满自信，
02:12
a journey that,
to be honest, I'm still on.
to be honest, I'm still on.
38
120292
3142
而在今后的人生中
我也将保持如此。
我也将保持如此。
02:15
Confidence is the necessary spark
before everything that follows.
before everything that follows.
39
123458
5685
自信是点燃一切事物的必要火花。
自信是灵感闪现
02:21
Confidence is the difference
between being inspired
between being inspired
40
129167
3476
02:24
and actually getting started,
41
132667
2434
和真正动手的分水岭，
02:27
between trying and doing until it's done.
42
135125
4018
是从尝试到完成工作的转折点。
即使失败，自信也能
帮助我们坚持下去。
帮助我们坚持下去。
02:31
Confidence helps us keep going
even when we failed.
even when we failed.
43
139167
3708
02:36
The name of the book on that coffee table
was "I Dream A World,"
was "I Dream A World,"
44
144125
4934
咖啡桌上那本书的名字
叫作《我梦想的一个世界》，
叫作《我梦想的一个世界》，
如今，我梦想有那么一个世界，
02:41
and today I dream a world
where revolutionary confidence
where revolutionary confidence
45
149083
4518
02:45
helps bring about our
most ambitious dreams into reality.
most ambitious dreams into reality.
46
153625
5309
在那里，突破性的自信能够
帮助我们实现最远大的梦想。
帮助我们实现最远大的梦想。
当我还是个教师的时候，
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
02:54
when I was a teacher,
48
162417
1309
我就想建立这样的世界，
就像幻想中的威利·旺卡的世界，
02:55
like a Willy Wonka world
of pure imagination,
of pure imagination,
49
163750
2684
但更有学术气息一点。
02:58
but make it scholarly.
50
166458
1250
03:01
All of my students were black or brown.
51
169083
3268
我所有的学生都是黑色或棕色人种。
他们所有人都出身于低收入家庭。
03:04
All of them were growing up
in a low-income circumstance.
in a low-income circumstance.
52
172375
2708
03:08
Some of them were immigrants,
some of them were disabled,
some of them were disabled,
53
176167
3017
他们中的一些人是移民，
还有一些人是残疾人，
还有一些人是残疾人，
03:11
but all of them were the very last people
54
179208
2976
在这个世界上，
他们是最没有自信的一类人。
03:14
this world invites to be confident.
55
182208
2792
03:17
That's why it was so important
that my classroom be a place
that my classroom be a place
56
185875
3434
这正是为什么我要在我的课堂中
03:21
where my students could build
the muscle of confidence,
the muscle of confidence,
57
189333
3393
让我的学生建立自信，
让他们学会充满自信，面对每一天，
03:24
where they could learn to face each day
with the confidence you need
with the confidence you need
58
192750
3434
03:28
to redesign the world
in the image of your own dreams.
in the image of your own dreams.
59
196208
4143
把这个世界重新构建成
你们梦想中的那样。
你们梦想中的那样。
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
毕竟，如果没有信心改变世界的话，
03:37
to go out and change the world.
61
205375
1958
要学术技能又有什么用呢？
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
现在，我要向你们介绍我的
两个学生：贾迈勒和蕾吉娜。
两个学生：贾迈勒和蕾吉娜。
03:44
Now, I've changed their names,
but their stories remain the same.
but their stories remain the same.
63
212083
3768
这两个名字是化名，
但故事都是真实的。
但故事都是真实的。
03:47
Jamal was brilliant, but unfocused.
64
215875
3476
贾迈勒头脑灵活，但注意力不集中。
做独立作业的时候，
他会在椅子上扭来扭曲，
他会在椅子上扭来扭曲，
03:51
He would squirm in his chair
during independent work,
during independent work,
65
219375
2768
从来没能保持不动
3或4分钟以上的。
3或4分钟以上的。
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
03:58
Students like Jamal
can perplex brand new teachers
can perplex brand new teachers
67
226208
2643
像贾迈勒一类的学生
会让新老师非常困惑，
会让新老师非常困惑，
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
因为他们不知道要
怎么教导这类学生。
怎么教导这类学生。
04:06
I took a direct approach.
69
234000
1434
我采取了一个直接方法。
04:07
I negotiated with Jamal.
70
235458
2893
我和贾迈勒商量。
04:10
If he could give me focused work,
71
238375
1601
如果他能够专心做事，
04:12
then he could do it
from anywhere in the classroom,
from anywhere in the classroom,
72
240000
2434
那他想在教室的什么
地方做事，都可以，
地方做事，都可以，
比如说在教室地毯上，
或是我的书桌后面，
或是我的书桌后面，
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
或是在他的储物柜里，
这是他最喜欢的地方。
这是他最喜欢的地方。
04:22
Jamal's least favorite
subject was writing,
subject was writing,
75
250458
2518
贾迈勒最讨厌写作课，
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
他从不愿意在课堂上
大声朗读他写的东西，
大声朗读他写的东西，
04:28
but we were still making progress.
77
256625
2392
但我们依然取得了一些进步。
04:31
One day, I decided to host
a mock 2008 presidential election
a mock 2008 presidential election
78
259041
4102
某天，我想在课堂上进行一场模拟的
2008年总统选举。
04:35
in my classroom.
79
263167
1309
我带的三年级学生需要
帮他们选的候选人
帮他们选的候选人
04:36
My third graders had to research
and write a stump speech
and write a stump speech
80
264500
3476
04:40
for their chosen candidate:
81
268000
1393
写一份政治演讲稿：
04:41
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton
or John McCain.
or John McCain.
82
269417
3851
贝拉克·奥巴马、希拉里·克林顿
或是约翰·麦克凯恩。
或是约翰·麦克凯恩。
04:45
The heavy favorites were obvious,
83
273292
1976
大多数人选择的候选人都一样，
04:47
but one student chose John McCain.
84
275292
3059
但有一个学生选择了
约翰·麦克凯恩。
约翰·麦克凯恩。
04:50
It was Jamal.
85
278375
1250
这个学生是贾迈勒。
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
贾迈勒最终决定在班上
朗读他写的稿子，
朗读他写的稿子，
不出所料，他的才华让全班震惊。
04:57
and sure enough, Jamal stunned
all of us with his brilliance.
all of us with his brilliance.
87
285375
3851
05:01
Just like Jamal's dad,
John McCain was a veteran,
John McCain was a veteran,
88
289250
4059
和他的父亲一样，约翰·麦克凯恩
也是个退伍老兵，
也是个退伍老兵，
05:05
and just like Jamal's dad protected him,
89
293333
2268
正如贾迈勒的父亲保护他儿子那样，
05:07
Jamal believed that John McCain
would protect the entire country.
would protect the entire country.
90
295625
4143
贾迈勒认为约翰·麦克凯恩
会保护整个国家。
会保护整个国家。
麦克凯恩不是我理想的候选人，
但这并不重要，
但这并不重要，
05:11
And he wasn't my candidate of choice,
but it didn't matter,
but it didn't matter,
91
299792
2809
因为课堂上爆发出了雷鸣般的掌声，
05:14
because the entire class
erupted into applause,
erupted into applause,
92
302625
4143
05:18
a standing ovation
for our brave friend Jamal
for our brave friend Jamal
93
306792
2851
全体起立为勇敢的贾迈勒喝彩，
这是那年他第一次
05:21
who finally showed up
as his most confident self
as his most confident self
94
309667
3476
表现得充满自信。
05:25
for the first time that year.
95
313167
1833
05:28
And then there was Regina.
96
316208
2351
还有蕾吉娜的故事。
05:30
Regina was equally
as brilliant, but active.
as brilliant, but active.
97
318583
2851
蕾吉娜也很聪明，但太活泼了。
她每天都早早做完作业，
05:33
She'd inevitably finish her work early,
98
321458
2560
然后开始骚扰其他学生。
05:36
and then she'd get on about the business
of distracting other students.
of distracting other students.
99
324042
3767
（笑声）
05:39
(Laughter)
100
327833
1310
走来走去，大声讲话，
05:41
Walking, talking,
101
329167
2267
05:43
passing those notes
that teachers hate but kids love.
that teachers hate but kids love.
102
331458
2518
传那些老师讨厌
但是小孩喜欢的小纸条。
但是小孩喜欢的小纸条。
你们看上去传过很多小纸条。
05:46
You look like you passed a lot of them.
103
334000
1893
（笑声）
05:47
(Laughter)
104
335917
1351
尽管我对班级的要求很高，
05:49
Despite my high ideals for our classroom,
105
337292
3392
05:52
I would too often default
to my baser instincts,
to my baser instincts,
106
340708
3476
但很多时候，我会屈从于本能，
比起自信，我更想让学生服从。
05:56
and I would choose
compliance over confidence.
compliance over confidence.
107
344208
3643
蕾吉娜是我意料之外的一个变数。
05:59
Regina was a glitch in my intended system.
108
347875
3851
06:03
A good teacher can correct misbehavior
109
351750
2643
一个好的老师可以一边纠正学生，
06:06
but still remain a student's champion.
110
354417
1851
一边受到学生爱戴。
但有一天，
06:08
But on one day in particular,
111
356292
2142
我的老毛病犯了。
06:10
I just plain old chose control.
112
358458
2685
06:13
I snapped,
113
361167
1684
我发火了，
06:14
and my approach
didn't communicate to Regina
didn't communicate to Regina
114
362875
2559
我没能让蕾吉娜明白
她的行为扰乱了课堂。
06:17
that she was being a distraction.
115
365458
2601
我指责蕾吉娜本人很烦人。
06:20
My approach communicated to Regina
that she herself was a distraction.
that she herself was a distraction.
116
368083
4917
06:26
I watched the light go out from her eyes,
117
374042
2226
我看到她的眼中的光消失了，
这光曾为整个班级带来了欢乐，
06:28
and that light sparked joy
in our classroom.
in our classroom.
118
376292
3559
06:31
I had just extinguished it.
119
379875
2143
而我却扑灭了它。
整个班级都躁动起来了，
06:34
The entire class became irritable,
120
382042
2642
直到放学都没能平静下来。
06:36
and we didn't recover
for the rest of the day.
for the rest of the day.
121
384708
2584
06:40
I think about the day often,
122
388250
2434
我经常会想到那一天，
并且祈祷我没有造成
任何不可挽回的伤害，
任何不可挽回的伤害，
06:42
and I have literally prayed
that I did not do irreparable harm,
that I did not do irreparable harm,
123
390708
4518
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
因为我也曾是一个
像蕾吉娜一样的小女孩，
像蕾吉娜一样的小女孩，
06:52
I know that I could have started
the process of killing her confidence
the process of killing her confidence
125
400833
4101
我知道我可能在逐渐扼杀
她一辈子的自信心。
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
缺少自信会从根本上摧毁一个人，
让人不相信自己的能力。
07:02
and weighs us down from the top,
128
410000
1976
让我们成天担心自己
做不到、不会做和不可能。
做不到、不会做和不可能。
07:04
crushing us between a flurry
of can'ts, won'ts and impossibles.
of can'ts, won'ts and impossibles.

没有自信，我们就会止步不前，
07:09
Without confidence, we get stuck,
130
417208
2601
07:11
and when we get stuck,
we can't even get started.
we can't even get started.
131
419833
3250
当我们陷入僵局时，
我们甚至无法迈出第一步。
我们甚至无法迈出第一步。
07:16
Instead of getting mired
in what can get in our way,
in what can get in our way,
132
424083
2560
自信能让我们果断决策，
而不是被困难所阻拦。
07:18
confidence invites us
to perform with certainty.
to perform with certainty.
133
426667
4017
当我们相信自己能成功，而不仅仅是希望，
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
07:25
versus if we just hope we will.
135
433792
2726
我们做事会变得不同。
07:28
Now, this can be a helpful check.
136
436542
1976
这是一个很有帮助的检查。
07:30
If you don't have enough confidence,
137
438542
1767
如果你不够自信，
这可能说明你需要重新调整你的目标。
07:32
it could be because you need
to readjust your goal.
to readjust your goal.
138
440333
2726
如果你太过自信，
07:35
If you have too much confidence,
139
443083
1560
这可能说明你不脚踏实地。
07:36
it could be because
you're not rooted in something real.
you're not rooted in something real.
140
444667
4142
并非所有人都缺少自信。
07:40
Not everyone lacks confidence.
141
448833
2601
在这个社会上，一些人很容易就会自信，
07:43
We make it easier in this society
for some people to gain confidence
for some people to gain confidence
142
451458
4518
因为他们符合领袖的形象。
07:48
because they fit our preferred
archetype of leadership.
archetype of leadership.
143
456000
3958
07:52
We reward confidence in some people
144
460833
2518
我们奖励一些人的自信，
惩罚另一些人的自信，
07:55
and we punish confidence in others,
145
463375
2476
一直以来，每天都有
07:57
and all the while far too many people
146
465875
2518
08:00
are walking around
every single day without it.
every single day without it.
147
468417
3392
太多缺乏自信的人。
08:03
For some of us,
148
471833
2393
对于我们中的一些人而言，
08:06
confidence is a revolutionary choice,
149
474250
2667
自信是一项突破性的选择，
08:09
and it would be our greatest shame
150
477833
2310
如果缺少自信
导致我们最远大的理想覆灭，
08:12
to see our best ideas go unrealized
151
480167
3101
导致我们最伟大的梦想落空，
08:15
and our brightest dreams go unreached
152
483292
2476
08:17
all because we lacked
the engine of confidence.
the engine of confidence.
153
485792
3851
那就太可惜了。
我不愿冒这种风险。
08:21
That's not a risk I'm willing to take.
154
489667
2166
08:24
So how do we crack the code on confidence?
155
492792
2059
那么我们应该如何获取自信呢？
08:26
In my estimation,
it takes at least three things:
it takes at least three things:
156
494875
3518
据我估计，需要三个因素：
允许、团体和好奇心。
08:30
permission, community and curiosity.
157
498417
3416
08:34
Permission births confidence,
158
502625
1893
自信诞生于允许，
08:36
community nurtures it
159
504542
2517
成长于团体，
08:39
and curiosity affirms it.
160
507083
1834
增强于好奇心。
08:41
In education, we've got a saying,
161
509833
1768
在教育界，我们有一句话，
你无法成为你看不到的东西。
08:43
that you can't be what you can't see.
162
511625
2726
08:46
When I was a little girl,
I couldn't show confidence
I couldn't show confidence
163
514375
2643
当我还是个小女孩的时候，
我不自信，
我不自信，
直到有人告诉我自信是什么。
08:49
until someone showed me.
164
517042
2141
我的家庭会一起做所有的事，
08:51
My family used to do everything together,
165
519207
1976
包括日常的事，例如买新车，
08:53
including the mundane things,
like buying a new car,
like buying a new car,
166
521207
2686
每次我们这么做时，
08:55
and every time we did this,
167
523917
1517
我看到我父母都会重复同样的操作。
08:57
I'd watch my parents
put on the exact same performance.
put on the exact same performance.
168
525458
4268
我们走进经销店，
09:01
We'd enter the dealership,
169
529750
1434
我父亲会坐下，
09:03
and my dad would sit
170
531208
2768
09:06
while my mom shopped.
171
534000
2143
而我母亲会去挑选。
09:08
When my mom found a car that she liked,
172
536167
2642
当我母亲发现一辆她喜欢的车时，
他们会去见经销商，
09:10
they'd go in and meet with the dealer,
173
538833
2185
09:13
and inevitably, every time
the dealer would turn his attention
the dealer would turn his attention
174
541042
3851
不可避免的是，每次经销商
都面向我父亲，更关注我父亲，
09:16
and his body to my dad,
175
544917
3017
认为我是父亲在主导这次购物，
09:19
assuming that he
controlled the purse strings
controlled the purse strings
176
547958
2351
由此有了下面的对话。
09:22
and therefore this negotiation.
177
550333
1976
“派克尼特先生，”他们说，
“您今天就把车开走怎么样？”
“您今天就把车开走怎么样？”
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
09:29
My dad would inevitably
respond the same way.
respond the same way.
179
557833
3893
每次我父亲会以相同的方式回应。
他会安静地慢慢指向我母亲，
09:33
He'd slowly and silently
gesture toward my mother
gesture toward my mother
180
561750
4851
09:38
and then put his hands
right back in his lap.
right back in his lap.
181
566625
2143
然后把双手放回大腿上。
09:40
It might have been the complete shock
182
568792
1934
在80年代，和黑人女性商谈财务
09:42
of negotiating finances
with a black woman in the '80s,
with a black woman in the '80s,
183
570750
2851
可能很让人震惊，
09:45
but whatever it was,
184
573625
1309
但不管如何，
09:46
I'd watch my mother
work these car dealers over
work these car dealers over
185
574958
3476
我会看着我母亲和经销商讨价还价，
09:50
until they were basically
giving the car away for free.
giving the car away for free.
186
578458
2601
直到他们几乎是在免费送车给我们。
09:53
(Laughter)
187
581083
1310
（笑声）
她从不会笑，
09:54
She would never crack a smile.
188
582417
1458
09:56
She would never be afraid to walk away.
189
584958
2334
也从来不会害怕走开，
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
我知道我母亲觉得她以
便宜价格买了小面包车，
便宜价格买了小面包车，
但实际上，
10:04
but what she was actually doing
191
592250
2143
10:06
was giving me permission
to defy expectations
to defy expectations
192
594417
4642
她在允许我反抗别人的预期，
10:11
and to show up confidently in my skill
no matter who doubts me.
no matter who doubts me.
193
599083
3625
并且无论谁怀疑自己，
都要通过技能展现自信。
都要通过技能展现自信。
10:15
Confidence needs permission to exist
194
603750
3559
自信需要允许来孕育，
10:19
and community is the safest place
to try confidence on.
to try confidence on.
195
607333
4268
而团体是尝试自信最安全的地方。
今年我到肯尼亚，
跟马赛女性学习
跟马赛女性学习
10:23
I traveled to Kenya this year
to learn about women's empowerment
to learn about women's empowerment
196
611625
3059
女性自主。
10:26
among Maasai women.
197
614708
1685
10:28
There I met a group of young women
198
616417
2059
在那里我遇到了一群
叫作“母狮队”的
叫作“母狮队”的
10:30
called Team Lioness,
199
618500
1684
年轻女性，
10:32
among Kenya's first all-female
community ranger groups.
community ranger groups.
200
620208
4393
肯尼亚第一支全部
由女性组成的军队。
由女性组成的军队。
10:36
These eight brave young women
were making history
were making history
201
624625
3143
这八位勇敢的女性在青少年时期
就已创造历史。
10:39
in just their teenage years,
202
627792
1517
我问其中最能言善道的女孩普丽蒂，
10:41
and I asked Purity, the most verbose
young ranger among them,
young ranger among them,
203
629333
4226
“你会不会害怕？”
10:45
"Do you ever get scared?"
204
633583
1935
我发誓，我想把
她的回答纹在我全身。
她的回答纹在我全身。
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
10:51
She said, "Of course I do,
206
639833
2768
她说：“我当然害怕，
10:54
but I call on my sisters.
207
642625
2309
但我拜访了我的姐妹们。
10:56
They remind me that we
will be better than these men
will be better than these men
208
644958
3518
她们告诉我，我们会比别的男性更好，
并且我们不会失败。”
11:00
and that we will not fail."
209
648500
1542
11:03
Purity's confidence to chase down
lions and catch poachers,
lions and catch poachers,
210
651125
3601
普丽蒂的自信让她能够
找到狮子，追击盗猎者，
找到狮子，追击盗猎者，
这自信并非来源于她的
运动能力或是信仰。
运动能力或是信仰。
11:06
it didn't come from her athletic ability
or even just her faith.
or even just her faith.
211
654750
4351
她的自信源于姐妹的支撑，
11:11
Her confidence was
propped up by sisterhood,
propped up by sisterhood,
212
659125
3684
源于团体。
11:14
by community.
213
662833
1768
她的主要意思是如果
我陷入自我怀疑中，
我陷入自我怀疑中，
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
我需要你在我身边，
11:20
I need you to be there
215
668583
2310
帮我恢复希望，
11:22
to restore my hope
216
670917
1892
并且重建我的自信。
11:24
and to rebuild my certainty.
217
672833
2935
11:27
In community, I can find my confidence
218
675792
4559
在团体中，我能找到我的自信心，
而你的好奇心能巩固它。
11:32
and your curiosity can affirm it.
219
680375
3226
在我职业生涯早期，
我主办了一场大型活动，
我主办了一场大型活动，
11:35
Early in my career,
I led a large-scale event
I led a large-scale event
220
683625
2518
这场活动并不是很顺利。
11:38
that did not go exactly as planned.
221
686167
2226
事实上，它非常糟糕。
11:40
I'm lying to you. It was terrible.
222
688417
2726
11:43
And when I debriefed the event
with my manager,
with my manager,
223
691167
2392
当我向经理汇报活动状况时，
11:45
I just knew that she
was going to run down the list
was going to run down the list
224
693583
2810
我知道她准备从头到尾
数落我犯下的每一个错误，
11:48
of every mistake I had ever made,
225
696417
2309
可能是从我出生开始。
11:50
probably from birth.
226
698750
1476
11:52
But instead, she opened with a question:
227
700250
4184
但相反，她开口问了一个问题：
11:56
What was your intention?
228
704458
1709
“你的目的是什么？”
11:59
I was surprised but relieved.
229
707500
2893
我很惊讶，但松了口气。
她知道我内心已经很沮丧了，
12:02
She knew that I was already
beating myself up,
beating myself up,
230
710417
2892
那个问题让我从自己的错误中学习，
12:05
and that question invited me
to learn from my own mistakes
to learn from my own mistakes
231
713333
4476
12:09
instead of damage
my already fragile confidence.
my already fragile confidence.
232
717833
3893
而不是打击我摇摇欲坠的自信心。
12:13
Curiosity invites people
to be in charge of their own learning.
to be in charge of their own learning.
233
721750
5101
好奇心让人们能够掌控自己的学习。
那次交流帮助我在下一次的项目中
12:18
That exchange, it helped me
approach my next project
approach my next project
234
726875
3809
取得了成功。
12:22
with the expectation of success.
235
730708
2584
12:26
Permission, community, curiosity:
236
734750
3375
允许、团体和好奇心：
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
这三者能帮助我们培养自信，
继而让我们用自信解决最大的挑战，
12:35
that we'll absolutely need
to solve our greatest challenges
to solve our greatest challenges
238
743542
4059
建立我们梦想中的世界，
12:39
and to build the world we dream,
239
747625
2601
12:42
a world where inequity is ended
and where justice is real,
and where justice is real,
240
750250
5101
在那里，一切不平等都被消除，
公正会成为现实，
公正会成为现实，
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
在那里，我们的内心
和外在都是自由的，
和外在都是自由的，
因为我们知道，只有人人自由，
才是真正的自由。
才是真正的自由。
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
12:55
A world that isn't
intimidated by confidence
intimidated by confidence
243
763208
2726
那样的世界会鼓励女性、
12:57
when it shows up as a woman
244
765958
1935
或是黑人、
12:59
or in black skin
245
767917
1267
或是除了
天生的领导人之外的所有人获得自信。
13:01
or in anything other than
our preferred archetypes of leadership.
our preferred archetypes of leadership.
246
769208
4560
13:05
A world that knows
that that kind of confidence
that that kind of confidence
247
773792
2559
在那里，人们明白那种自信
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
正是开启理想中未来的关键钥匙。
13:14
I have enough confidence
to believe that that world
to believe that that world
249
782042
2892
我有足够的信心相信这样的世界
13:16
will indeed come to pass,
250
784958
2310
最终会到来，
13:19
and that we are the ones to make it so.
251
787292
3267
而我们是构建这个世界的人。
13:22
Thank you so much.

谢谢你们。
