1、re going to fail. First reason is that no matter how many times peopletell you, If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion,you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue the greatest fascination inyour life, you hear it again and again, and then you decide not to do it.It doesnt
2、 matter how many times you download Steven J.s Stanford commencementaddress, you still look at it and decide not to do it. 所以想找好工作的人会失败。我谈谈那些寻找伟业的人,你们为什么要寻找,为什么会失败。第一个原因是不管多少次别人告诉你,“如果你想成就伟业,你就必须追随你的热忱,你必须追随你的梦想,你必须追随,你人生中最大的吸引,”你听过这句话一遍又一遍,然后你决定,不去这样做。不管你下载多少次Steven J在斯坦福大学的开学演讲,你还是看看然后决定不去做。 Im no
3、t quite sure why you decide not to doit. Youre too lazy to do it. Its too hard. Youre afraid if you look for yourpassion and dont find it, youll feel like youre an idiot, so then you makeexcuses about why youre not going to look for your passion. They are excuses,ladies and gentlemen. Were going to
4、go through a whole long list yourcreativity in thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if youwant to have a great career.我不太确定你为什么决定不去做。你太懒了。这事太难。你害怕如果你去寻找梦想然后找不到,你会觉得你像个白痴,所以你给自己找借口,为什么你不去追寻你的梦想。这些都是借口,女士们先生们。我们要列一个长单子,你的创造力,想想你不去做成就伟业该做的事情的借口。So, for example, one of your great exc
5、usesis:所以,举例来说,你众多借口之一是: Well, great careers are really andtruly, for most people, just a matter of luck. So Im going to stand around,Im going to try to be lucky, and if Im lucky, Ill have a great career. Ifnot, Ill have a good career. But a good career is an impossibility, sothats not going to work
6、. “嗯,伟业实际上对于大多数人来说,只是运气问题。所以我就在这待着,我就试试做那个幸运的人,然后如果我真幸运的话,我就能成就伟业。如果不能,我就找个还不错的事业。” 但是没有还不错的事业,所以这个行不通。 Then, your other excuse is, Yes,there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are geniuses. Theyare Steven J. Im not a genius. When I was five, I thought I was a genius, butmy profe
7、ssors have beaten that idea out of my head long since. 然后,你还有其他借口:“是的,有那些与众不同的人 追寻自己的梦想,但是他们是天才。 他们是Steven J. 我不是天才。我五岁的时候以为自己是天才, 但是我的教授们早就把这个念头 打消了。”And now I know I am completelycompetent. Now, you see, if this was 1950, being completely competent that would have given you a great career. But gue
8、ss what? This is almost 2012,and saying to the world, I am totally, completely competent, isdamning yourself with the faintest of praise. “然后现在我知道自己完全有能力。” 现在你看,如果这是在1950年, 完全有能力, 就能让你成就伟业。 但是你知道么?现在几乎是2012年了, 对世界说”我完全,绝对,有能力,“ 就是用最无力的称赞谴责你自己。 And then, of course, another excuse:Well, I would do thi
9、s, I would do this, but, but well, after all, Imnot weird. Everybody knows that people who pursue their passions are somewhatobsessive. A little strange. Hmm? Hmm? Okay? You know, a fine line betweenmadness and genius. Im not weird. Ive read Steven J.s biography. Oh mygoodness Im not that person. I
10、am nice. I am normal. Im a nice, normalperson, and nice, normal people dont have passion. 然后,当然,另外一个借口: ”嗯,我会做这个,我会做这个,但是,但是, 嗯,毕竟,我不是个怪人。 每个人都知道那些追寻自己梦想的人 都多少有点强迫症。有点奇怪?嗯?好吧?你知道的,疯子和天才一线之隔。 我不是个怪人。我读过Steven J的传记。 我的天呐。我不是那种人。我是好人。我是正常人。我是正常的好人, 而且正常的好人 没有梦想。Ah, but I still want a great career.Im no
11、t prepared to pursue my passion, so I know what Im going to do, becauseI have a solution. I have a strategy. Its the one Mommy and Daddy told meabout. Mommy and Daddy told me that if I worked hard, Id have a good career.So, if you work hard and have a good career, if you work really, really, reallyh
12、ard, youll have a great career. Doesnt that, like, mathematically makesense? Hmm. Not. But youve managed to talk yourself into that. 啊。但是我还是想要成就伟业。我还没准备好去追寻梦想,所以我知道 我要做什么,因为我有办法, 我有策略。 就是爸爸妈妈告诉过我的那个。 爸爸妈妈告诉我说如果我努力工作, 我会有个不错的事业。所以,如果你努力工作,而且有个不错的事业,如果你工作特别特别特别努力, 你就能成就伟业。 这在数学上不是也成立么?”嗯.不是的。但是你还是让自己信
13、了这话。 You know what? Heres a little secret: Youwant to work? You want to work really, really, really hard?Youll succeed. The world will give you the opportunity to work really, really,really, really hard. But, are you so sure that thats going to give you a greatcareer, when all the evidence is to the
14、 contrary? 你知道么?这有一个小秘密。你想工作?你想工作特别特别特别努力?你会成功的。 这个世界会给你机会去工作得特别特别特别努力, 但是你就那么确信这能让你成就伟业 即使所有的证据都指向另一边? So lets deal with those of you who aretrying to find your passion. You actually understand that you really had betterdo it, never mind the excuses. Youre trying to find your passion and youreso ha
15、ppy. You found something youre interested in.所以咱们假设,咱们来处理一下你们当中 想追寻梦想的人。 你实际上明白你最好这么做,抛开借口。你试图找到你的梦想, 而且你这么快乐。 你找到了你感兴趣的事 I have an interest! I have aninterest! 我有个兴趣!我有个兴趣! You tell me. You say, I have aninterest! I say, Thats wonderful! And what are you trying to tellme?Well, I have an interest.Do
16、 you havepassion?I have an interest, you say. Your interest iscompared to what?Well, Im interested in this.Andwhat about the rest of humanitys activities?m not interested inthem.ve looked at them all, have you?No. Notexactly. 你告诉我。你说,“我有个兴趣!”我说,“太好了!你想告诉我什么呢? “嗯,我有个兴趣。”我说,“你有热忱么?” “我有兴趣,”你说。你的兴趣和什么比
17、较?“嗯,我对这个感兴趣。” “那其他一切的人类活动呢? ”“我对那些没兴趣。” “你把那些都看过一遍了? ”“没有。不完全是。 Passion is your greatest love. Passion isthe thing that will help you create the highest expression of your talent.Passion, interest its not the same thing. Are you really going to go to yoursweetie and say, Marry me! Youre interesting
18、. 热忱是你最高程度的热爱。热忱是能帮助你最好地成就自己才华的事情。热忱,兴趣不是一回事。你真的会去找你的甜心然后说,“嫁给我吧!你很有意思。 Wonthappen. Wont happen, and you will die alone.不会发生的。不会发生,然后你会孤独终老。 What you want, what you want, what youwant, is passion. It is beyond interest. You need 20 interests, and then one ofthem, one of them might grab you, one of t
19、hem might engage you more thananything else, and then you may have found your greatest love, in comparison toall the other things that interest you, and thats what passion is. 你想要的,你想要的,你想要的,是热忱。它超越兴趣。你需要20个兴趣,然后它们其中一个,其中一个会抓住你,让你燃起激情。然后你就找到了与其他事情相比之下,你最大的热爱,那就是你的热忱。 I have a friend, proposed to his
20、 sweetie.He was an economically rational person. He said to his sweetie, Let usmarry. Let us merge our interests. 我有个朋友,向他女友求婚。他是个会过日子的人。他对他女友说,“咱们结婚吧。 让咱们融合利益。 Yes, he did. 是的,他这么说的。I love you truly, he said.I love you deeply. I love you more than any other woman Ive everencountered. I love you mor
21、e than Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope, Ingrid,Gertrude, Gretel I was on a German exchange program then. I love you morethan All right. She left the room halfway through his enumeration ofhis love for her. After he got over his surprise at being, you know, turneddown, he concluded hed had a narrow escap
22、e from marrying an irrational person.Although, he did make a note to himself that the next time he proposed, it wasperhaps not necessary to enumerate all of the women he had auditioned for thepart.“我真心爱你,”他说,“我深深爱着你。我爱你胜过其他任何女人。我爱你胜过Mary, Jane, Susie, Penelope, Ingrid, Gertrude, Gretel- 我那时候在一个德国的交换
23、项目里。” “我爱你胜过” 好的!她在他列举到一半的时候,离开了房间。 在他从被拒绝的惊讶中缓过来之后,他总结了他刚刚成功逃离和一个不理性的人结婚的厄运。虽然他也对自己说,下次求婚的时候,不必要列举所有过往的女朋友。 But the point stands. You must look foralternatives so that you find your destiny, or are you afraid of the worddestiny? Does the word scare you? Thats what weretalking about. And if you dont
24、 find the highest expression of your talent, ifyou settle for interesting, what the hell ever that means, do youknow what will happen at the end of your long life? Your friends and familywill be gathered in the cemetery, and there beside your gravesite will be atombstone, and inscribed on that tombs
25、tone it will say, Here lies adistinguished engineer, who invented Velcro. But what that tombstoneshould have said, in an alternative lifetime, what it should have said if itwas your highest expression of talent, was, Here lies the last NobelLaureate in Physics, who formulated the Grand Unified Field
26、 Theory anddemonstrated the practicality of warp drive.但是这个论点是成立的。你必须寻找各种选择才能找到命中注定的那个,或者你害怕“命中注定”这个词么? “命中注定”这个词吓着你么? 这就是我们要谈的,而且如果你找不到 你才能的最高表达,如果你在 “有意思”这里止步不前,不管这他妈的是什么意思, 你知道在你漫长的一生即将结束的时候会发生什么吗? 你的亲友们聚集在墓地里, 在这,你的坟边上有个墓碑,这个墓碑上刻着字,说, “此地长眠着一位发明了Velcro的杰出工程师。”但是这个墓碑上也应该刻着, 在一个平行时空里, 如果这是你才能的最高表达
27、它就应该刻着,“此地长眠着一位诺贝尔物理学奖得主, 他规范了大统一场论 并且示范了曲速引擎的实用性。 Velcro, indeed!Velcro, 确实。 One was a great career. One was a missedopportunity. But then, there are some of you who, in spite of all theseexcuses, you will find, you will find your passion. And youll still fail. 一个是伟业。一个是失掉的机会。 但是,你们当中有些人, 抛开这些借口,你们
28、会找到, 你们会找到自己的热忱, 然后你们还是失败了。re going to fail, because becauseyoure not going to do it, because you will have invented a new excuse, anyexcuse to fail to take action, and this excuse, Ive heard so many times:Yes, I would pursue a great career, but, I value human relationshipsmore than accomplishment. I want to be a great friend. I want to be a greatspouse. I want to be a great parent, and I will not sacrifice them on the altarof great accomplishment. 你
