TED演讲【如何找到自己钟爱的工作】20160315.pdf

1、Wow,what an honor.I always wondered what this would feel like.非常荣幸。我一直很好奇 这会是什么感觉。So eight years ago,I got the worst career advice of my life.I had a friend tell me,Dont worry about how much you like the work youre doing now.Its all about just building your resume.八年前，我听到一个 有生以来最烂的职场建议。有个朋友跟我说，“斯科特，

2、别考虑 你喜不喜欢现在的工作，重要的是简历上好看。”00:25 And Id just come back from living in Spain for a while,and Id joined this Fortune 500 company.I thought,This is fantastic.Im going to have big impact on the world.I had all these ideas.And within about two months,I noticed at about 10am every morning I had this strang

3、e urge to want to slam my head through the monitor of my computer.I dont know if anyones ever felt that.And I noticed pretty soon after that that all the competitors in our space had already automated my job role.And this is right about when I got this sage advice to build up my resume.我那时候在西班牙 住了一段

4、时间，刚回来，进了一家财富 500 强公司。我想，“真是太棒了，我要做改变世界的大事情。”一开始全是这些想法。结果没过俩月，我就发现每天一到上午 10 点多，我就控制不住 想用头撞穿电脑屏。不知道有没有人有同感。很快我发现 公司里的所有同事，都已经跟我差不多是同样的表现了。就是差不多这时候，我听到了这个为了简历好看的忠告。Well,as Im trying to figure out what two-story window Im going to jump out of and change things up,I read some altogether different advice

5、 from Warren Buffett,and he said,Taking jobs to build up your resume is the same as saving up sex for old age.后来，正当我寻思着 从二楼的哪扇窗户跳下去，绝地重生的时候，我又从沃伦巴菲特的书里读到了 完全不同的建议，他说，“为了让简历好看而工作，就跟节省着性生活等老了再用一样。”And I heard that,and that was all I needed.Within two weeks,I was out of there,and I left with one intent

6、ion:to find something that I could screw up.Thats how tough it was.I wanted to have some type of impact.It didnt matter what it was.我听进去了，这正是我需要的。没过两周我辞职了，离开时就一个想法：我得找个我能搞砸的事做。最不济也就这样吧。我想做个有影响的人。什么影响都行。And I found pretty quickly that I wasnt alone:it turns out that over 80 percent of the people arou

7、nd dont enjoy their work.Im guessing this room is different,but thats the average that Deloitte has done with their studies.So I wanted to find out,what is it that sets these people apart,the people who do the passionate,world-changing work,that wake up inspired every day,and then these people,the o

8、ther 80 percent who lead these lives of quiet desperation.很快我发现 不是只有我这么想：原来身边有 80%多的人 工作时候都不开心。我猜在座的各位 都很热爱自己的工作，但这 80%确实是 德勤调查出的平均数据。于是我就想找出 人们工作态度不同的原因，是什么让一些人从事着让人振奋，能改变世界的工作，让他们每天起床都充满干劲。又是什么让另外 80%的人 有气无力地在绝望中勉强度日。So I started to interview all these people doing this inspiring work,and I read b

9、ooks and did case studies,300 books altogether on purpose and career and all this,totally just self-immersion,really for the selfish reason of-I wanted to find the work that I couldnt not do,what that was for me.我开始采访那些做着创造性工作的人，也读了各种书，做了很多案例研究。关于目标、事业的书 我看了有 300 多本，其实主要就是想一头扎进去，为了一个自私的目的 我想找到一个我非做不

10、可的工作。那份属于我的工作。But as I was doing this,more and more people started to ask me,Youre into this career thing.I dont like my job.Can we sit down for lunch?Id say,Sure.But I would have to warn them,because at this point,my quit rate was also 80 percent.Of the people Id sit down with for lunch,80 percent

11、would quit their job within two months.I was proud of this,and it wasnt that I had any special magic.It was that I would ask one simple question.It was,Why are you doing the work that youre doing?And so often their answer would be,Well,because somebody told me Im supposed to.And I realized that so m

12、any people around us are climbing their way up this ladder that someone tells them to climb,and it ends up being leaned up against the wrong wall,or no wall at all.但当我在做这些事的时候，越来越多的人开始问我，“你对求职这事儿这么感兴趣。我不喜欢我的工作，有空一起吃个午饭吗？”我说，“没问题。”但我会先告诉他们，我当时的辞职可能性是 80%。那时和我共进午餐的人当中，80%的人在午餐后 不到两个月就辞职了。我很有成就感，不是因为我施

13、了什么咒。我只是问了他们一个简单的问题。“你为什么在做现在的工作？”这些人往往回答我，“有人跟我说我适合做这个。”我才意识到我们身边好多人 都在顺着别人给的梯子往上爬，结果发现梯子靠错墙了，或者，根本就没有墙。和他们接触了一段时间，我发现了这个问题，然后我想，不如我们组建一个社区，一个让人有归属感，包容与众不同的地方，鼓励人们不走寻常路，激励人们做出改变的地方。这个社团后来成了现在的“活出自己的传奇”组织。稍后我为大家简单介绍。伴随着这些发现，我注意到 充满热情要改变世界的人 都做过三件相同的事，无论你是史蒂夫乔布斯这样的人物，或者是一个 普通的不能再普通的人。你做的事都在体现你的价值。我想把

14、这三点和大家分享一下，希望能对各位今天，甚至今后的生活都有些启发。The more time I spent around these people and saw this problem,I thought,what if we could create a community,a place where people could feel like they belonged and that it was OK to do things differently,to take the road less traveled,where that was encouraged,and in

15、spire people to change?And that later became what I now call Live Your Legend,which Ill explain in a little bit.But as Ive made these discoveries,I noticed a framework of really three simple things that all these different passionate world-changers have in common,whether youre a Steve Jobs or if you

16、re just,you know,the person that has the bakery down the street.But youre doing work that embodies who you are.I want to share those three with you,so we can use them as a lens for the rest of today and hopefully the rest of our life.想要满载热情地投入工作，第一步，要成为自己的专家，了解自己，因为如果你都不知道自己想要什么，还何谈“找到”二字呢。问题在于没人替我们做这件事。大学里没有热情、目标、职业生涯这些专业。我不知道为啥这些 没被设为双专业的必修，我甚至都没注意到这些有多重要。你花在挑选 寝室用的电视机上的时间 都比你选择专业和学习领域的时间长。但重点是，每个人的方向只能由他自己决定，我们需要一个 帮我们走出迷雾的办法。The first part of this three-step passionate work framework is beco
