1、2.David Foster Wallace肯尼恩学院 May 21,2005Novelist 小说家 Ken yon CollegeAnd the two. simple2005 年 5 月 21 日 There are these two young fish swimming along and they happe n to meet an older fish swim ming the other way, who nods at them and says, “ Morning, boys. Hows the water?young fish swim on for a bit,

2、 and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “ What the hell is water?aware ness of what is so real and esse ntial, so hidde n in pla in sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep rem inding ourselves over and over: “ This is water 。”“ This is water 。” It isthis, t

3、o stay con scious and alive in the adult world day in and day out 。有两条小鱼一起在水里游，碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点 头，并说:早上好，孩子们。水怎么样？这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿 后，其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了 ，看了一下另一条小鱼，问道:水到底是 什么东西？”简单的意识;对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处 不在、无时不在的事物的意识，需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己:这是 水。”这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活，在成人世界中做到这点， 是不可想象地难。3.Michael Uslan迈克尔 奥斯兰Movie P

4、roducer 电影制片人Indiana University 印第安纳 大学 May 06, 20062006 年 5 月 6 日 You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batma n movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “

5、 Michael, Im just calling tocon gratulate you on the success of Batma n. I always said you were a visionary。” Youee the point here dont believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, dont believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great y

6、our ideas are. Just believe in yourself and youll do just fine. And, oh yes, dont the n forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned dow n by every studio in Hollywood. Youmust knock on door

7、s un til your knu ckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock aga in. Itsthe only way to achieve your goals in life 。你必须相信你自己，对自己的工作充满信心。当我们的第一部电影蝙蝠 侠创下史无前例的票房纪录时，我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话 ，他在数年之前曾说我疯了 。如今他说:迈克尔，我给你打电话祝贺 蝙蝠侠的成功。我总说你是一位有远见的人。”你看，关键在这里，当他们说

8、你 有多差，你的想法有多糟的时候，不要信他们的话，同时，当他们告诉 你你有多么了不起，你的想法多美妙时，也不要相信他们。你就只相信 你自己，这样你就能做好。还有，那就是，不要忘记推销你自己和你的 想法。左右大脑你都得用。要能经受得住挫败。这是被好莱坞每一家制 片厂拒绝过的人的经验。你必须去敲一扇扇的门，直到指关节流血。大 门会在你面前砰然关上，你必须重振旗鼓，弹去身上的灰尘，再敲下一 扇门。这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法 。4.Woody Hayes伍迪 海耶斯College Fooball Coach 大学橄榄球教练 Ohio StateUniversity 俄亥俄州立大学 May 14, 1

9、9861986 年 5 月 14 日 In football we always said that the other team could nt beat us. We had to be sure that we did nt beat ourselves. And thatwhat people have to do, too make sure they dont beat themselves. youll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I n ever saw

10、 a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never 。在橄榄球场上，我们总是说其他队战胜不了我们。我们必须做到不把自 己打垮。所有人也都必须这么做，确保自己不要被自己打垮。你会发 现，来得容易的东西总是一文不值 。事实上，我从来没有看到哪位橄榄 球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。从来没有。5.Bradley Whitford威斯布兰德利 惠特福德 Actor 演员 Uni versity Wise on sin - Madiso n 康辛大学麦迪逊分校 May 17, 20062006 年 5 月 17 日 Number

12、passive victim of circumsta nee or you can be the active hero of your own life. Acti on is the an tidote to apathy and cyni cism and despair 。第一，爱上过程，结果自然会来。第二，做你的事。第三，一旦准备 好，就付诸行动。第四，你能做的，超出了你的想象。第五，聆听。第 六，采取行动。你有一个选择。要么你成为环境的被动受害者，要么你 主动成为自己生活的英雄。行动可以消除冷漠、玩世不恭与绝望。6.Jerry Zucker杰瑞朱克 Director, movie

13、 producer 导演、电影制片人 University of Wisco nsi n 威斯康辛大学 May 17, 20032003年 5 月 17 日 It does nt matter whether your dream came true if you spe nt your whole life sleep in g.Ask yourself one questi on: If I did nt have to do it perfectly, what would I try?Nobody else is pay ing as much atte ntio n to your

14、failures as you are. Yo ure the only one who is obsessed with the importa nee of your own life. To every one else, its just a blip on the radar scree n, so just move on 。如果你一生都在睡觉，你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了 。问你自己一个问题:如果我不是必须做得完美，那我还努力什么呢？没有人会像你自己那 样对自己的失败那么在意。你是唯一一个能追求自己的生活意义的人 。对于其他所有人来说，你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。所以，只管前

15、行吧。7.Earl Bakken厄尔 巴肯 Bus in essman 商人 Un iversity of Hawaii 夏威夷大学 May 16,20042004年 5 月 16 日 By all reckoning, the bumblebee is aerodynamically unsound and should nt be able to fly. Y et, the little bee gets those wings going like a turbo-jet and flies to every plant its chubby little body can land

16、on to collect all the n ectar it can hold.Bumblebees are the most persiste nt creatures. They dont know they cant fly, so they just keep buzz in g aroun d.Never give in to pessimism. Dont know that you cant fly, and you will soar like an eagle. Dont end up regrett ing what you did not do because you

17、 were too lazy or too frighte ned to soar. Be a bumblebee! And soar to the heave ns. You can do it 。无论怎么考量，大黄蜂从空气动力学上讲是不健全 、不应该会飞的。但是，这种小蜜蜂却像涡轮喷气飞机一样地展翅飞行 ，飞到它圆乎乎的身体能够降落的任何植物上去采蜜。大黄蜂最坚韧的生灵，它们不知道自己不能飞，因此它们只管到处嗡嗡地飞个不停 。千万不要悲观。不知道8.John Walsh作家和艺术历史学家 Wheaton约翰 沃尔什 Author and art historianCollege 惠顿学院2

18、0002000 年 Do one thing at a time. Give each experienee all your attention. Try to resist being distracted by other sights and soun ds, other thoughts and tasks, and whe n it is, guide your mind back to what youre doing.lm not warning aga inst lear ning many thi ngs on many subjects. My warning is ag

19、ainst distraction, whether you invite it or just let it happe n. In baseball, high-perce ntage hitters know better: it“ focus ” they talk about, an hey prize it as much as stre ngth. Psychologists describe skilled rock climbers and tennis players andpia ni sts as going bey ond focus, to what they ha

20、ve called a experienee, a sense of absorption with the rock or the ball or the musicin which the “ me versus it ” disappears and theres a kind of onenesswith the task that brings a joyful higher awareness, as well as successful performanee. Ive had these experiences, too little but not too late, and

21、 probably you have, too. They are a supreme ki nd of pleasure. You willhave more of them if you do one thing at a time 。一次做一件事情。全力关注你每一次的经历。决不要被别的声色之物和其他想法、任务分心。一旦分心了，引导你的注意力重新回到你做的事情上。我不是在反对学习多个学科的众多知识 。我所警告的是分心与干扰，无论是你主动招惹的，还是让它发生的。在棒球场上，得分高的击 球员对此有更深体会：他们谈的是专注”，他们把它看得跟力量一样重 要。在心理学家的描述中，高技能的攀岩者、网球

22、运动员、钢琴家已经 超越了专注，达到了他们所称的经验之 流”，那是一种跟岩石、网球或音乐融为一体的感觉，我与它”已然消失，跟任务合二为一，给人以更高水 平的愉悦体验，而不仅仅是成功地完成了任务。我有这种体验，虽然很 少，但来得还不算迟，或许你也有这种体验。这是一种最高形式的快 乐。如果你一次专注于一件事情，你就会有更多这样的体验。9.David L. Calho un大卫卡尔霍恩Bus in essman 商人Virgi nia Tech 弗吉尼亚理工大学 May13, 20052005年 5 月 13 日 I worked for a guy named Jack Welch for twe

23、nty years at GE. He was, and is, a great men tor as much as a great leader. If I had to isolate the subject he spoke most passi on ately to me about, over all those years, it is that SELF CONFIDENCE is the most important, the in dispe nsable characteristic of success, the com mon characteristic shar

24、ed by great leaders whose tale nts may have varied widely in most other respects.So, how do you get it? What is the secret to develop ing your own bra nd of self-c on fide nce?First, you must resolve to grow in tellectually, morally, tech ni cally, and professi on ally every day through your en tire

25、 work and family life. You n eed to ask yourself every day: Am I really up to speed or falli ng beh ind? Am I still lear ning? Or am I justdoing the same stuff on a differe nt day or as Otis Redd ing sings,Sitting on the dock of the bay. watching the tide roll away?for lear ning is age-i ndepe nden

26、t.A no ther importa nt way to build yourcon fide nee is to seek out the toughest jobs, the most daunting scie ntific, engin eer ing or man ageme nt challe nges 。我在通用公司为一个名叫杰克韦尔奇的家伙工作了 20年。他既是一位伟 大的领导者，也是一位伟大的导师，过去是，现在也是。如果我必须找 出那些年里他充满激情地对我说的最主要的话 ，那就是：自信是最重要的，它是成功必不可少的，是所有在其他多数方面才能也许大相径庭的 伟大领导者的共同特

27、征。如何获得自信？培养你特有的自信的秘诀是什么 ？首先，你必须下决心每天都通过你的工作和家庭生活去获得智力 、道德、技术与专业上的提高。你需要每天问自己：我是在加速前进还是在后 退?我还在学习吗？我是在每天重复做同样的事情或就像奥蒂斯 瑞汀所唱的那样，坐在海湾的码头上，看潮起潮落”对学习的渴望是不受年龄限 制的。培养自信的另一个重要途径是寻找最难做的工作 ，最棘手的科学、工程或管理方面的难题。10.Marc S.

28、ay 19, 20002000 年 5 月 19 日 There are times when you are going to do well, andtimes when youre going to fail. But neither the doing well, nor thefailure is the measure of success. The measure of success is what you think about what youve done. Let me put that ano ther way: The way to be happy is to l

29、ike yourself and the way to like yourself is to do only things that make you proud.Theres that old joke, not very funny, that goes, “ No matter where you go, there you are 。” Thats true. Theperson who youre with most in life is yourself and if you dont likeyourself youre always with somebody you dont like 。有时候你会干得很漂亮，有时候你会失败，但二者都不是衡量成功的标准。衡量成功的标准是你自己对你的所为怎么看 。让我换一句话说：让自己幸福的办法是喜欢你自己，喜欢自己的办法是只做让你自己感到骄傲的事情。有一个老笑话，不是很好笑，它是这么说的:无论你走到哪里，如果你都在那里。这是真的。你一生中跟
