生活和工作真的可以实现平衡吗?

演讲者：nigel marsh

what i thought i would do is i would start with a simple request. i"d like all of you to pause for a moment, you wretched weaklings, and take stock of your miserable e_istence.

我原本想以一个简单的请求开场。我请求在座的各位思考片刻，你们这群可悲的懦夫，扪心自问，审视一下自身可怜的存在。

now that was the advice that st. benedict gave his rather startled followers in the fifth century. it was the advice that i decided to follow myself when i turned 40. up until that moment, i had been that classic corporate warrior -- i was eating too much, i was drinking too much, i was working too hard and i was neglecting the family. and i decided that i would try and turn my life around.

其实这正是 5世纪时圣本笃给信众的建议，可以想见，当时他们必定相当惊诧。而在我40岁的时候 我也决定采纳并实施这个建议。在那之前，我绝对是个典型的业务精英——我吃的太多，喝得太多，工作太努力，我忽视了自己的家庭。于是我决定试着改变我的生活。

in particular, i decided i would try to address the thorny issue of work-life balance. so i stepped back from the workforce, and i spent a year at home with my wife and four young children. but all i learned about work-life balance from that year was that i found it quite easy to balance work and life when i didn"t have any work. (laughter) not a very useful skill, especially when the money runs out.

而且我决定 我要尝试处理一个棘手的问题： 即工作与生活的平衡。于是我递交辞呈，赋闲在家，与妻子和四个儿子相处了一年。但是在那一年中关于工作与生活平衡这个问题，我唯一的收获是：如果我不工作，这个问题就会迎刃而解。(笑声) 这的确不怎么管用，尤其是缺钱的时候。

so i went back to work, and i"ve spent these seven years since struggling with, studying and writing about work-life balance. and i have four observations i"d like to share with you today. the first is: if society"s to make any progress on this issue, we need an honest debate. but the trouble is so many people talk so much rubbish about work-life balance.

所以我回到工作岗位，七年以来我的挣扎，学习与写作都围绕着工作与生活的平衡这个主题。今天我想跟各位分享四点心得。第一， 如果在这一问题上想要获得实质性的进展，那么我们需要一个诚恳的探讨。

all the discussions about fle_i-time or dress-down fridays or paternity leave only serve to mask the core issue, which is that certain job and career choices are fundamentally incompatible with being meaningfully engaged on a day-to-day basis with a young family.

但问题是在这一问题上，人们大多沉浸在毫无意义的争论之中。无论是弹性时间还是星期五的休闲装政策亦或是育儿假，这些都只是进一步掩盖了核心问题，即某些职业和某些职业选择从根本上讲就与每天与自己的家庭亲密相处这一生活方式水火不容。

now the first step in solving any problem is acknowledging the reality of the situation you"re in. and the reality of the society that we"re in is there are thousands and thousands of people out there leading lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long, hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don"t need to impress people they don"t like.

要解决任何问题，都必须首先认清自己所处的境况。而现实社会中的情况是成千上万的人们 都在无声的绝望中煎熬。他们夜以继日的从事他们痛恨的职业目的只是为了购买无用的商品以博得无关痛痒的邻人的艳羡。

it"s my contention that going to work on friday in jeans and [a] t-shirt isn"t really getting to the nub of the issue.

我的观点是，星期五穿牛仔体恤并不能解决关键问题。

the second observation i"d like to make is we need to face the truth that governments and corporations aren"t going to solve this issue for us. we should stop looking outside. it"s up to us as individuals to take control and responsibility for the type of lives that we want to lead.

我想分享的第二点心得是我们必须面对现实：政府和公司不会为我们解决这一问题。我们不能再寻找外援，而应该作为个人承担起掌控自己生活轨迹的重任。

if you don"t design your life, someone else will design it for you, and you may just not like their idea of balance. it"s particularly important -- this isn"t on the world wide web, is it? i"m about to get fired -- it"s particularly important that you never put the quality of your life in the hands of a commercial corporation. now i"m not talking here just about the bad companies -- the "abattoirs of the human soul," as i call them.

如果你不规划自己的生活，那么别人就会为你规划，而他们对于平衡的处理你往往并不认同。最重要的是——这东西不会传到互联网上吧，要不然我可要被解雇了—— 最重要的是你绝不能让商业公司来掌控你生活的质量。我指的并不仅仅是那些糟糕的公司——我把那些公司叫做人类灵魂的屠宰场。

i"m talking about all companies. because commercial companies are inherently designed to get as much out of you [as] they can get away with. it"s in their nature; it"s in their dna; it"s what they do -- even the good, well-intentioned companies. on the one hand, putting childcare facilities in the workplace is wonderful and enlightened.

我指的是所有的公司。因为商业公司本质上就是为了尽可能多的榨取你的价值而同时尽量逃避责任。这是深植于商业公司之中的基因。它们以此立足——包括那些好的，有善心的公司。一方面，在工作场所开办儿童保育中心是个很妙的，具有启发性的好主意。

on the other hand, it"s a nightmare -- it just means you spend more time at the bloody office.we have to be responsible for setting and enforcing the boundaries that we want in our life.

另一方面，这同时是个噩梦;因为这意味着你得在万恶的办公室里耗上更多时间。 我们自己得担起责任 去设定并强化 我们生活中的各种界限。

the third observation is we have to be careful with the time frame that we choose upon which to judge our balance. before i went back to work after my year at home, i sat down and i wrote out a detailed, step-by-step description of the ideal balanced day that i aspired to. and it went like this: wake up well rested after a good night"s sleep. have se_. walk the dog. have breakfast with my wife and children. have se_ again.

第三点是我们得好好考虑以什么样的时间单位来衡量我们试图实现的平衡。在一年赋闲时 就在我回到工作岗位之前， 我坐下来 细细地 一步一步地勾勒了一幅我向往的完美一天的理想蓝图。具体如下：充足的睡眠之后，精神抖擞的醒来。做爱。遛狗。与妻儿共进早餐。做爱。

drive the kids to school on the way to the office. do three hours" work. play a sport with a friend at lunchtime. do another three hours" work. meet some mates in the pub for an early evening drink. drive home for dinner with my wife and kids. meditate for half an hour. have se_. walk the dog. have se_ again. go to bed.

上班的途中送孩子去学校。 工作三小时。午休时和朋友玩玩体育。再工作三小时。下午和老伙计们在酒吧喝两杯。 回家与妻儿共进晚餐。花半个小时静修思考。做爱。遛狗。做爱。上床睡觉。

how often do you think i have that day? (laughter) we need to be realistic. you can"t do itall in one day. we need to elongate the time frame upon which we judge the balance in our life, but we need to elongate it without falling into the trap of the "i"ll have a life when i retire, when my kids have left home, when my wife has divorced me, my health is failing, i"ve got no mates or interests left." a day is too short; "after i retire" is too long. there"s got to be a middle way.

你觉得我多久能享受如此的一天? (笑声) 我们当然要实际一些。你不可能在一天内实现这一切。我们得把时间单位拉长来衡量我们期望的平衡，但是这一拉长也不是没有限度的比如，你最好别说："我会享受生活的，当我退休了，当子女也都独立，当妻子已弃我而去，当我的身体大不如前， 当我已没有朋友，也没有任何兴趣爱好。" 一天太短，退休又太长。肯定会有折中的办法。

a fourth observation: we need to approach balance in a balanced way. a friend came to see me last year -- and she doesn"t mind me telling this story -- a friend came to see me last year and said, "nigel, i"ve read your book. and i realize that my life is completely out of balance. it"s totally dominated by work. i work 10 hours a day; i commute two hours a day. all of my relationships have failed. there"s nothing in my life apart from my work. so i"ve decided to get a grip and sort it out. so i joined a gym."

第四点心得：要实现平衡，我们得采取"平衡"的办法。去年我有个朋友来找我—— 她不介意我公开这个故事——去年她来我这儿， 她说："奈吉尔，我看了你的书。我意识到我的生活完全没有平衡可言。它完全被无休止的工作占据。我每天工作10小时，路上就要花2小时。我的人际关系总是失败。在我生活中除了工作，没有别的。所以我决定得振作起来改观我的生活。于是我加入了健身俱乐部。

now i don"t mean to mock, but being a fit 10-hour-a-day office rat isn"t more balanced; it"s more fit. (laughter) lovely though physical e_ercise may be, there are other parts to life -- there"s the intellectual side; there"s the emotional side; there"s the spiritual side. and to be balanced, i believe we have to attend to all of those areas -- not just do 50 stomach crunches.

我不是要嘲笑她，但是一个"健康"的每天工作10小时的办公室职员 并不会让她更"平衡"，而只能更"健康"(笑声) 健身运动的确是不错，但生活的含义其实很丰富。知性生活，情感生活，精神生活。如果想达到平衡，我觉得我们得关照以上的各个方面——仅仅50个仰卧起坐是不够的。

now that can be daunting. because people say, "bloody hell mate, i haven"t got time to get fit. you want me to go to church and call my mother." and i understand. i truly understand how that can be daunting. but an incident that happened a couple of years ago gave me a new perspective.

这可能看起来相当艰巨。人们会说："拜托伙计，我连锻炼的时间都没有，你却要我去教堂、给老妈打电话。" 我很理解。我真的很理解，对人们来说这的确挺艰巨。 但两年前有件小事却给了我一个崭新的视角。

my wife, who is somewhere in the audience today, called me up at the office and said, "nigel, you need to pick our youngest son" -- harry -- "up from school." because she had to be somewhere else with the other three children for that evening. so i left work an hour early that afternoon and picked harry up at the school gates. we walked down to the local park, messed around on the swings, played some silly games. i then walked him up the hill to the local cafe, and we shared a pizza for two, then walked down the hill to our home, and i gave him his bath and put him in his batman pajamas. i then read him a chapter of roald dahl"s "james and the giant peach."

我妻子就坐在下面一天她给我的办公室打电话说 "奈吉尔，你得去学校 接我们的小儿子哈里。" 因为那天晚上她和其他三个孩子在一起。于是那天下午我提前一小时下班在校门口接到哈里。我们去了公园，在秋千上闹了一阵，做了些傻傻的游戏。 然后我带他上了一座小山到了当地的一家咖啡馆，我们点了茶和比萨，吃完就下山回家，我给他洗了个澡， 给他穿上蝙蝠侠睡衣。然后我给他读了一章 roald dahl的《詹姆斯与飞天巨桃》。

i then put him to bed, tucked him in, gave him a kiss on his forehead and said, "goodnight, mate," and walked out of his bedroom. as i was walking out of his bedroom, he said, "dad?" i went, "yes, mate?" he went, "dad, this has been the best day of my life, ever." i hadn"t done anything, hadn"t taken him to disney world or bought him a playstation.

然后我铺好床，安顿好他， 吻了他的额头，说了声"晚安，伙计。" 然后走出他的卧室。 正当我走到门口的时候， 他叫了声老爸。"什么事，伙计?" 他说，"老爸，这是我一生中 最棒的一天，最棒的。" 其实我什么也没做。我没带他去迪斯尼乐园，也没给他买游戏机。

now my point is the small things matter. being more balanced doesn"t mean dramatic upheaval in your life. with the smallest investment in the right places, you can radically transform the quality of your relationships and the quality of your life. moreover, i think, it can transform society.

我想说的是，小事并非无关紧要。在生活中实现平衡并不意味着你要大张旗鼓的颠覆你的生活。在适当的地方做些小小的投资，你就能极大地改善你的人际关系 和生活质量。不仅如此，我认为这还能改变整个社会。

because if enough people do it, we can change society"s definition of success away from the moronically simplistic notion that the person with the most money when he dies wins, to a more thoughtful and balanced definition of what a life well lived looks like. and that, i think, is an idea worth spreading.

因为，如果很多人都如此生活，那么我们就可以重新对社会上的所谓"成功"进行定义：成功不再是以死后财产的多少来愚蠢地衡量; 成功应该有一个更具平衡性和思想性的定义，即一个美好的生活的实现。 我认为这的确是一个值得与众人分享的点子。

生活和工作真的可以实现平衡吗观后感

一、人人都会遇到的问题：负面情绪

以下负面情绪你是否似曾相识：

我都牺牲了这么多，你们还不理解我!

我累成这样还在做家务，你们怎么回报我的?

我下了班就：做饭/收拾房间/带孩子…………你却：躺着/看电视/跟朋友出去玩………………

我都这么努力了，为什么总有意外打破我的计划?

坦率的问一问自己，是不是常常有这种想法呢?这些负面的情绪，会导致我们稍有不顺就很容易就会爆发。即使不爆发，我们的心情也会长期阴天。而一个阴天的妈妈，会让整个家庭都晴转多云。想要改变这一点，必须把那个被"牺牲"了的自己找回来——本来，也没有人要求我们必须牺牲自己。只要妈妈的内心足够强大，就能保持稳定的心理状态，变化带给我们的烦躁感也就自然消除了。一旦情绪的问题解决了，那么很多问题就不再是问题。

这就是每个人都如此关心工作与生活之间的平衡的理由。抱怨工作与生活之间没能很好地平衡，这不过是一种自我放纵的行为。我们生活的终极目标就是为了自我感觉良好，这种理念对于社会发展毫无意义。它源于对积极心理学的曲解，事实上，积极心理学推崇的是自我发展和自我成长，而不是自我陶醉和自我放纵。

二、你想成为什么样的人?

你如何对以下列出了以下七个方面进行排序?

a)家庭(父母、儿女、兄弟姐妹等)

b)社交(朋友、人脉)

c)精神追求(信仰、人生观、情感观)

d)身体状况(健康、幸福)

e)物质状况(物质环境、财产)

f)业余爱好(个人爱好等其他业余活动)

g)事业追求(短期和长期目标)

针对每个方面，问自己三个问题：在这个方面，我想成为怎样的人?我想在这方面拥有多少体验?在有限的时间、精力和资源下，相对于生活中的其他方面，这个方面对我有多重要?

在考虑这些问题时，要注意下面两点。首先，每个方面都会面临独特的挑战。因此在梳理问题时，要确保你面对的是一个个可以解决的独立问题，而不是一个令人望而生畏的巨无霸整体，这一点至关重要。其次，你对这些方面的判断会改变，而且确实会改变。那么，如何判断?我们的方法是：对于当下你志在成为什么人，以及你期望未来留下什么资产，分别做出规划，用这些规划来指导自己分配资源。这种愿景规划非常重要，尤其当你在生活中失去平衡或即将犯错的时候。

三、工作与生活如何兼得看看他们怎么说?

1、以健康为代价的坚持，不一定是对的

创新工场创始人、谷歌中国区前总裁李开复患癌后，中国企业家纷纷开始反省自己。多数企业家自省要多跟家人在一起。李开复微博坦言工作与家庭确实是一个鱼与熊掌难以得兼的问题，需要相当的承诺和持续的沟通才能很好解决。李开复谈起自己以往的工作信念，他在微博中写到，他以往给自己的负荷一直比较重，坚持每天努力挤出三小时时间工作，还曾天真的和人比赛"谁的睡眠更少"、"谁能在凌晨里及时回复邮件"……努力把"拼命"作为自己的一个标签。"现在，冷静下来反思：这种以健康为代价的坚持，不一定是对的。"

2、用高质量的时间来安排生活

不幸患上乳腺癌的滴滴总裁柳青那疯狂的奋斗史，她的工作狂到什么地步：柳青有三个孩子，周末需要经常开会，孩子周末见不着，她让孩子转学到公立学校。滴滴开会开到特别晚，公司内部团队为她"贴心"地想到了一个方案：每天晚上柳青9点下班，回家哄娃娃睡觉，十一点后在她楼下开会。为了她的事业，为了对了起她柳传志女儿的身份，柳青可真是拼了，可是拼到最后的结果却是身体机能的直线下降，以至于患上了乳腺癌。

柳青自己觉得绝对的平衡是很难的，这就是你不可能每时每刻都保持一个平衡。关键就是有一个80、20这么一个说法，比如说跟家人，我是相信用高质量的时间来安排生活，比如说像我要在家陪家人，或者陪小朋友，那我还是会非常投入非常专心的，不会说陪他们玩的时候看手机。我觉得最重要的就是你花的时间，哪怕只有半个小时、一个小时，但大家能感觉这是一种很投入的沟通。所以其实我在家每天的时间并不是很长，但质量比较高。我觉得跟我的孩子们感情非常好，有那种心连心的感觉。跟家人或者是平衡自己的生活，更多的是用心而不是用时间。

3、不做会死的事，一定要做的事就一定要把它干掉!

新精英职业生涯导师赵昂接受mba智库的专访时对于如何平衡生活与工作时间，昂sir认为一个阶段有一个阶段的一个重点，每天也有每天的重点，关键在于分清重点。工作和生活要平衡，这个平衡不能随意。把重要的事情安排出来，这些就是必做的事。不做会死的事，一定要做!一定要做的事就一定要把它干掉!在每天临睡前把第二天的重要事情安排好。昂sir举例说，每天必须要写作，这是必须要做的事。白天有干扰的事情比较多，那我可能会选择早上四点多钟起来写作，手机也不开机，七点多钟写完了，然后开始各种沟通开始一天工作。对于年轻人最重要的是思考先考虑能力再考虑价值最后才是平衡。这是昂sir给30几岁有一定工作经验、刚成家立业、面临房子孩子等压力人群的建议。

总之，要真正成功平衡工作与生活，惟一的方法就是：遵从内心的喜好，找到自己的使命，学着去欣然接受工作与生活之间的不平衡。

[greetings.]

today, the topic i wanna discuss is about workaholics.

there is a story on my te_tbook, unit 2, the company man, which starts like this:

he worked himself to death, finally and precisely, at 3 am. sunday morning.

when i first read this story, indeed, it scared me. but what scared me most, just a few seconds later, was that i realized that, once upon a time, i, myself, used to be a workaholic.

and if i kept walking down that path, maybe one day, i’d end up like that company man who died alone at a time when most people usually do not die.

so, i began to wonder, why did i do what i did?

or, why do people become workaholics?

even, why do we choose to work?

after my painful deliberation, （i mean, thinking is always suffering,） here i wanna share two different answers with you.

answer no.1 was concluded by myself.

we work because of our deficiency of meaning and purpose.

we human-beings have been suffering from two different kinds of dilemmas, which have threatened our e_istence for centuries.

firstly, death. this is the physical end for all of us. we don’t know if there would be anything that comes after death. therefore, so far, when someone has died, we say he has been completely removed, or erased, from this world and this reality.

secondly, the possible meaninglessness of life itself. this may be the kind of truth we are not happy to confront, but we have to admit that there could be a great chance that a man’s life is created by accident and, also, full of uncertainty. this is why we have the nihilism theory. think about what the romanian philosopher emil once said, "i’m simply an accident. why take any of this seriously?"

faced with these two insurmountable problems, firstly death, secondly the possible meaninglessness of life itself, the sense of self-realization brought by hard working could be the only solution towards a truly happy and meaningful life.

ne_t, answer no.2.

workaholic is actually a global phenomenon because we all are surrounded by snobs.

this was derived from an english author named alain de botton, from one of his speeches on ted.

from his opinion, in this society, we have nothing in the center that is non-human. we are the first society where we don’t worship anything other than ourselves. it is all about human. no more gods. our heroes are human heroes. why not? hey, think about this. we even started sending people into the space.

so under this atmosphere, a huge number of people have become snobs.

and what is a snob?

a snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are.

and the dominant snobbery nowadays is job snobbery.

for e_ample, just as botton said in his speech, the first question you tend to ask when you meet somebody at a party is "what do you do".

in this case, our work, our jobs are so closely related to our self image, even our social status. we so desperately care about our image and the way others treat us, which compels us to work harder and harder.

this was supposed to be the end of my speech. however, i wanna leave this more encouraging, less depressing. so i began to think what if i could say something to other workaholics, or myself in the past. it was a piece of advice from neil gaiman, one of my favorite freelancers, from his speech at the university of the arts in philadelphia.

he said, "i learned to write by writing. i tended to do anything as long as it felt like an adventure, and to stop when it felt like work, which meant that life did not feel like work."

[the end.]

different people have various ambitions. some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. some want to be scientists or businessmen. still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come.

unlike other people, i prefer to be a farmer. however, it is not easy to be a farmer for iwill be looked upon by others. anyway,what i am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. it is well known that farming is the basic of the country. above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. we can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. thus our countryside will become more and more properous.

i believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. all the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent.

翻译：不同的人有不同的野心。有些人想成为未来的工程师或医生。有些人想成为科学家或商人。还有一些希望，当他们长大后成为教师或律师。

和其他人不同的是，我更喜欢做一个农民。然而，当一个农民因为会被人看不起这是不容易的。不管怎样，我想做的是为农业做出巨大的贡献。众所周知，农业是国家的基础。首先，农业不仅是一个挑战，也是一个年轻人的好机会。我们也可以通过以科学的方式以科学的方式种植蔬菜和食物来获利。此外，我们可以把我们在学校学到的东西应用到农业中去。因此，我们的农村将越来越强大。

我相信任何一个有知识的人都可以做任何他们能做的事，只要这份工作能满足他或她的兴趣。所有的工作岗位都可以为他提供一个很好的机会成为一名人才。

3 ways to be a better ally in the workplace

演讲者：melinda epler

中英对照翻译

in 20__, i was an e_ecutive at an international engineering firm in san francisco. it was my dream job. aculmination of all the skills that i"ve acquired over the years: story telling,social impact, behavior change. i was the head of marketing and culture and i worked with the nation"s largest health care systems, using technology and culture change to radically reduce their energy and water use and to improve their social impact. i was creating real change in the world. and it was the worst professional e_perience of my life.

20__年，我在旧金山一个国际工程公司担任行政人员。那是我梦想的工作。我能发挥自己多年学习到的技能：叙述能力、社会影响力和行为改变力。我当时担任营销和文化主管，并和全国最大的医疗系统协作，利用科技和文化的变化来大量减少他们对能源和水的消耗，从而增加他们的社会影响力。我的所作所为的确改变了世界。然而，这却是我体验过的最糟糕的职场经历。

i hit the glass ceiling hard. it hurt like hell. while there were bigger issues, most of what happened were little behaviors and patterns that slowly chipped away at my ability to do my work well. they ate away at my confidence, my leader ship, my capacity to innovate.for e_ample, my first presentation at the company. i walk up to the front ofthe room to give a presentation on the strategy that i believe is right for the company. the one they hired me to create. and i look around the room at myfellow e_ecutives.

我重重地触到了玻璃天花板(意为受到了职场歧视)，这深深地伤害了我。尽管有更大的问题，但大多数都是关于行为模式的细枝末节，正是这些琐碎的事情逐渐让我丧失了工作热情。他们打击了我的自信心、领导力和创新能力。比如我在公司的第一次演讲。我站在房间的前面，展示了我觉得公司应该采取的正确策略。这正是我被雇佣的目的。

and i watch as they pick up their cell phones and look downat their laptops. they"re not paying attention. as soon as i start to speak,the interruptions begin and people talk over me again and again and again. some of my ideas are flat out dismissed and then brought up by somebody else and championed. i was the only woman in that room. and i could have used an ally.

而当我环顾房间里行政部门的同事，发现他们都在摆弄手机，或者低头看着电脑。他们根本没在认真听。当我开始说话时，有人开始插嘴了，人们一次又一次地用声音盖过我。我的一些想法被直接无视，之后被其他人提出，却得到了拥护。我是那个房间唯一的女性。我需要一个盟友。

little behaviors and pattern like this,every day, again and again, they wear you down. pretty soon, my energy was absolutely tapped. at a real low point, i read an article about to_ic work place culture and micro aggressions. micro aggressions -- everyday slights, insults,negative verbal and nonverbal communication, whether intentional or not, that impede your ability to do your work well. that sounded familiar. i started to realizethat i wasn"t failing. the culture around me was failing me. and i wasn"t alone.

像这样的小事日复一日地发生，逐渐侵蚀着我。很快，我就感到筋疲力竭。在这段人生低谷，我恰好读到了文章，关于有害的办公室文化和轻微的冒犯行为。例如每天有意无意的怠慢、侮辱、负面的语言和行为，不管是有意还是无意，都让我无法高效地工作。这听起来很熟悉。我开始意识到，不是我的能力有问题，而是我身边的文化在让我举步维艰。我并不是个例。

behaviors and patterns like this every day affect under represented people of all backgrounds in the workplace. and that has a real impact on our colleagues, on our companies and our collective capacity to innovate. so, in the tech industry, we want quick solutions. butthere is no magic wand for correcting diversity and inclusion. change happens one person at a time, one act at a time, one word at a time.

像这样的行为，每天都在影响着办公室里不同文化背景的人。而且这一现象也切实影响着我们的同事、我们的公司和我们的合作创新能力。在科技行业，我们通常都习惯于寻找快速的解决方案。但是纠正多样性和包容性的魔法并不存在。改变只能一个人一个人、一次一次、一字一句地发生。

we make a mistake when we see diversity and inclusion as that side project over there the diversity people are working on,rather than this work inside all of us that we need to do together. and that work begins with un learning what we know about success and opportunity. we"ve been told our whole lives that if we work hard, that hard work pays off, we"d get what we deserve, we"d live our dream.

如果我们不在意多元化和包容性，就会忽视弱势群体的重要性，我们要一起解决这个问题。解决方案从摆脱我们对成功和机遇的认知开始。我们从小就被教导，一分耕耘，一分收获，我们会得到我们应得的，梦想成真。

but that isn"t true for everyone. somepeople have to work 10 times as hard to get to the same place due to manybarriers put in front of them by society. your gender, your race, yourethnicity, your religion, your disability, your se_ual orientation, your class,your geography, all of these can give you more of fewer opportunities for success.

但这句话并非对所有人都适用。有些人需要付出10倍的努力，才能获得一样的地位，因为他们需要面对社会中的诸多障碍。你的性别、你的肤色、你的种族、你的宗教、你的残疾、你的性取向、你的社会阶层，和你的所在地，这些都会决定你会获得多少机会。

and that"s where allyship comes in.allyship is about understanding that imbalance in opportunity and working tocorrect it. allyship is really seeing the person ne_t to us. and the person missing,who should be standing ne_t to us. and first, just knowing what they"re goingthrough. and then, helping them succeed and thrive with us. when we worktogether to develop more diverse and inclusive teams, data shows we will bemore innovative, more productive and more profitable.

这就是为什么我们需要盟友。盟友可以帮助我们了解机遇上的不公，并想方设法改变它。同盟是去了解你身边的人，和原本应该与你并肩作战的人。先去了解他们的困境，然后帮助他们成功，继而实现共赢。当我们一起努力创造一个更多元化和包容的集体，数据显示，我们会更有创造力、更有效率，并能创造更多价值。

so, who is an ally? all of us. we can allbe allies for each other. as a white, cisgendered woman in the united states,there are many ways i"m very privileged. and some ways i"m not. and i work hardevery day to be an ally for people with less privilege than me. and i stillneed allies, too.

那么，谁是盟友?我们所有人。我们都是彼此的盟友。作为一个在美国的白人女性，在很多方面我都是有优势的，而在有些方面则不然。我每天都努力工作，成为比我出境更艰难的人的盟友。 但是我也需要盟友。

in the tech industry, like in many industries, there are many people who are underre presented, or face barriers and discrimination. women, people who are nonbinary -- so people who don"t necessarily identify as man or woman -- racial and ethnic minorities, lgbtqia,people with disabilities, veterans, anybody over age 35.

在科技行业，和其他行业一样，有很多人受到了忽视，或者面对着障碍和歧视。女性，非传统性别——就是不被男女性别所定义的人——肤色和种族上的少数族群、lgbtqia、残疾人、退役军人、所有超过35岁的人。

we have a major bias to ward youth in the tech industry. and many others. there is always someone with less privilege than you. on this stage, in this room. at your company, on your team, in your city or town. so, people are allies for different reasons. find your reason. it could be for the business case, because data shows diverse and inclusive teams will be more productive, more profitable and more innovative.

在科技行业，我们对年轻有些许偏爱。当然还有更多其他人。总有人比你的处境更差，就在这个讲台上、在这个房间里。你的公司、团队和你居住的城市中，这样的人也比比皆是。所以，人们因为不同的原因组建同盟。找到你自己的理由。这个理由可以是商业管理，因为数据显示，有多元化和包容性的团队会更有效率、更有创造力，能产生更多价值。

it could be for fairness and social justice. because we have a long history of oppression and inequity that we need to work on together. or it could be for your kids, so your kids grow up with equal opportunities. and they grow up creating equal opportunities for others. find your reason. for me, it"s all three. find yourreason and step up to be there for someone who needs you.

也可以是因为公平和社会公正。因为我们有着很长的压迫和不公平的历史，我们需要一起协作。或者也可以是为了你的孩子，让你的孩子能够在公正公平中长大。长大后，他们也可以给他人创造机会。找到你的理由。对我而言，理由有三。找到你的理由来帮助身边需要你的人。

so, what can you do as an ally? start by doing no harm. it"s our job as allies to know what microaggressions are and to not do them. it"s our job as allies to listen, to learn, to unlearn and tore learn, and to make mistakes and to keep learning. give me your full attention. close your laptops, put down your cell phones and pay attention. if somebody is new or the only person in the room like them, or they"re just nervous, this is going to make a huge difference in how they show up.

那么作为盟友，你可以做什么?首先，不伤害他人。作为同盟，我们的工作是了解何为轻微的冒犯，做到不伤害别人。做为盟友，我们的工作是倾听，是学习，是放弃已知的，是重新适应，是犯错，并继续学习。认真地对待我。关掉你的电脑，放下你的手机，把注意力放在我身上。如果有新来的人，或者房间里只有一个跟他一样的人，或者他们只是紧张，这些小的举动都会有很大的影响。

don"t interrupt. underre presented people are more likely to be interrupted, so just take a step back and listen. echo and attribute. if i have a great idea, echo my idea and then attribute it tome, and we thrive together. learn the language i use to describe my identity.know how to pronounce my name. know my pronouns -- he, she, they. know the language i use to describe my disability, my ethnicity, my religion. this really matters to people, so if you don"t know, just ask. listen and learn.

不要打断别人说话。弱势群体说话最有可能被打断，所以请别打断，并倾听。支持，并提供积极反馈。如果我有一个好点子，支持我的主意予以肯定，我们就能一起进步。学会我用来描述自己的词语。知道如何念我的名字。知道我的称呼，他、她和他们。知道我用来描述我的残疾、种族和宗教的用词。这一点对很多人真的很重要，所以如果你不知道，请问我。倾听并学习。

an e_ecutive told me recently that after doing ally ship on his team, the whole team started to normalize calling themselves out and each other out for interrupting. "i"m so sorry i"m interrupting you right now, carry on." "hey, she"s got a great idea,let"s listen."

一个高管最近告诉过我，在他的团队里建立同盟之后，整个团队开始对自己打断别人的行为主动表示歉意。"我很抱歉，我打断了你。请继续。""嘿，她有一个很好的主意。我们一起来听听吧。"

number two, advocate for underrepresented people in small ways. intervene; you can change the power dynamics in the room.if you see somebody is the only person in the room like them and they are beingbe littled, they are being interrupted, do something, say something. inviteunderrepresented people to speak. and say no to panels without underrepresentedspeakers.

第二，支持弱势群体，从小事做起。简单的干预可以改变整个房间的气氛。如果你看见房间里有一个弱势群体中的人，她没有受到重视，说话被打断，做些什么，说些什么。邀请弱势群体的人加入对话。不要拒绝对弱势群体的邀请。

refer someone for a job and encourage them to take that job and totake new opportunities. and this one"s really important -- help normalizeallyship. if you"re a person with privilege, it"s easier for you to advocate for allies. so use that privilege to create change.

介绍某人一份工作，并鼓励他们接受这份工作和这个新的机会。这真的很重要——让盟友变成常态。如果你是优势人群中的一员，支持你的同盟就简单多了。所以用你的优势来改变现状。

three, change someone"s life significantly.so, be there for somebody through out their career. mentor or sponsor them, give them opportunities as they grow. volunteer -- volunteer for a stem program,serving underserved youth. transform your team to be more diverse andinclusive. and make real commitments to creating change here. hold yourself andyour team accountable for creating change.

第三，大幅改观他人的生活。在职场中给予他人陪伴。教导或者帮助他们，给他们成长的机会。志愿服务——参与一个stem的项目，服务弱势群体中的年轻人。让你的团队更多元和包容，并投身于改变现状。让你和你的团队共同承担这份责任。

and lastly, help advocate for change across your company. when companies teach their people to be allies, diversity andinclusion programs are stronger. you and i can be allies for each other,whether we"re inside or outside of work.

最后，在全公司范围内倡导这件事。当公司教会他们的人成为盟友，多元化和包容性的气氛就会更重。你我都可以成为盟友，不管是否与工作有关。

so, i realized recently that i still havelingering shame and fear from that moment in my career when i felt utterlyalone, shut out and unsupported. there are millions of people out there, like me, right now, feeling that way. and it doesn"t take much for us to be therefor each other. and when we"re there for each other, when we support one another, we thrive together. and when we thrive, we build better teams, betterproducts and better companies. allyship is powerful. try it.

我最近意识到，我心中一直都怀有羞耻和恐惧，当在我的职业生涯中感到孤单、沮丧和无助的时候。世界上有数百万跟我经历相似的人。互相支持很简单。当我们在彼此身旁的时候，当我们互相支持的时候，我们就能够一起成功。当我们成功时，我们就拥有了更好的团队，更好的产品和更好的公司。同盟力量超乎你的想象。尝试一下吧。

thank you.(applause)

谢谢。(鼓掌)

when i was seven years old and my sister was just five years old, we were playing on top of a bunk bed. i was two years older than my sister at the time -- i mean, i"m two years older than her now -- but at the time it meant she had to do everything that i wanted to do, and i wanted to play war. so we were up on top of our bunk beds. and on one side of the bunk bed, i had put out all of my g.i. joe soldiers and weaponry. and on the other side were all my sister"s my little ponies ready for a cavalry charge.

there are differing accounts of what actually happened that afternoon, but since my sister is not here with us today, let me tell you the true story -- (laughter) -- which is my sister"s a little bit on the clumsy side. somehow, without any help or push from her older brother at all, suddenly amy disappeared off of the top of the bunk bed and landed with this crash on the floor. now i nervously peered over the side of the bed to see what had befallen my fallen sister and saw that she had landed painfully on her hands and knees on all fours on the ground.

i was nervous because my parents had charged me with making sure that my sister and i played as safely and as quietly as possible. and seeing as how i had accidentally broken amy"s arm just one week before ... (laughter) ... heroically pushing her out of the way of an oncoming imaginary sniper bullet, (laughter) for which i have yet to be thanked, i was trying as hard as i could -- she didn"t even see it coming -- i was trying as hard as i could to be on my best behavior.

and i saw my sister"s face, this wail of pain and suffering and surprise threatening to erupt from her mouth and threatening to wake my parents from the long winter"s nap for which they had settled. so i did the only thing my little frantic seven year-old brain could think to do to avert this tragedy. and if you have children, you"ve seen this hundreds of times before. i said, "amy, amy, wait. don"t cry. don"t cry. did you see how you landed? no human lands on all fours like that. amy, i think this means you"re a unicorn."

(laughter)

now that was cheating, because there was nothing in the world my sister would want more than not to be amy the hurt five year-old little sister, but amy the special unicorn. of course, this was an option that was open to her brain at no point in the past. and you could see how my poor, manipulated sister faced conflict, as her little brain attempted to devote resources to feeling the pain and suffering and surprise she just e_perienced, or contemplating her new-found identity as a unicorn. and the latter won out. instead of crying, instead of ceasing our play, instead of waking my parents, with all the negative consequences that would have ensued for me, instead a smile spread across her face and she scrambled right back up onto the bunk bed with all the grace of a baby unicorn ... (laughter) ... with one broken leg.

what we stumbled across at this tender age of just five and seven -- we had no idea at the time -- was something that was going be at the vanguard of a scientific revolution occurring two decades later in the way that we look at the human brain. what we had stumbled across is something called positive psychology, which is the reason that i"m here today and the reason that i wake up every morning.

when i first started talking about this research outside of academia, out with companies and schools, the very first thing they said to never do is to start your talk with a graph. the very first thing i want to do is start my talk with a graph. this graph looks boring, but this graph is the reason i get e_cited and wake up every morning. and this graph doesn"t even mean anything; it"s fake data. what we found is --

(laughter)

if i got this data back studying you here in the room, i would be thrilled, because there"s very clearly a trend that"s going on there, and that means that i can get published, which is all that really matters. the fact that there"s one weird red dot that"s up above the curve, there"s one weirdo in the room -- i know who you are, i saw you earlier -- that"s no problem. that"s no problem, as most of you know, because i can just delete that dot. i can delete that dot because that"s clearly a measurement error. and we know that"s a measurement error because it"s messing up my data.

so one of the very first things we teach people in economics and statistics and business and psychology courses is how, in a statistically valid way, do we eliminate the weirdos. how do we eliminate the outliers so we can find the line of best fit? which is fantastic if i"m trying to find out how many advil the average person should be taking -- two. but if i"m interested in potential, if i"m interested in your potential, or for happiness or productivity or energy or creativity, what we"re doing is we"re creating the cult of the average with science.

if i asked a question like, "how fast can a child learn how to read in a classroom?" scientists change the answer to "how fast does the average child learn how to read in that classroom?" and then we tailor the class right towards the average. now if you fall below the average on this curve, then psychologists get thrilled, because that means you"re either depressed or you have a disorder, or hopefully both. we"re hoping for both because our business model is, if you come into a therapy session with one problem, we want to make sure you leave knowing you have 10, so you keep coming back over and over again. we"ll go back into your childhood if necessary, but eventually what we want to do is make you normal again. but normal is merely average.

and what i posit and what positive psychology posits is that if we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average. then instead of deleting those positive outliers, what i intentionally do is come into a population like this one and say, why? why is it that some of you are so high above the curve in terms of your intellectual ability, athletic ability, musical ability, creativity, energy levels, your resiliency in the face of challenge, your sense of humor? whatever it is, instead of deleting you, what i want to do is study you. because maybe we can glean information -- not just how to move people up to the average, but how we can move the entire average up in our companies and schools worldwide.

the reason this graph is important to me is, when i turn on the news, it seems like the majority of the information is not positive, in fact it"s negative. most of it"s about murder, corruption, diseases, natural disasters. and very quickly, my brain starts to think that"s the accurate ratio of negative to positive in the world. what that"s doing is creating something called the medical school syndrome -- which, if you know people who"ve been to medical school, during the first year of medical training, as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases that could happen, suddenly you realize you have all of them.

i have a brother in-law named bobo -- which is a whole other story. bobo married amy the unicorn. bobo called me on the phone from yale medical school, and bobo said, "shawn, i have leprosy." (laughter) which, even at yale, is e_traordinarily rare. but i had no idea how to console poor bobo because he had just gotten over an entire week of menopause.

(laughter)

see what we"re finding is it"s not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. and if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.

when i applied to harvard, i applied on a dare. i didn"t e_pect to get in, and my family had no money for college. when i got a military scholarship two weeks later, they allowed me to go. suddenly, something that wasn"t even a possibility became a reality. when i went there, i assumed everyone else would see it as a privilege as well, that they"d be e_cited to be there. even if you"re in a classroom full of people smarter than you, you"d be happy just to be in that classroom, which is what i felt. but what i found there is, while some people e_perience that, when i graduated after my four years and then spent the ne_t eight years living in the dorms with the students -- harvard asked me to; i wasn"t that guy. (laughter) i was an officer of harvard to counsel students through the difficult four years. and what i found in my research and my teaching is that these students, no matter how happy they were with their original success of getting into the school, two weeks later their brains were focused, not on the privilege of being there, nor on their philosophy or their physics. their brain was focused on the competition, the workload, the hassles, the stresses, the complaints.

when i first went in there, i walked into the freshmen dining hall, which is where my friends from waco, te_as, which is where i grew up -- i know some of you have heard of it. when they"d come to visit me, they"d look around, they"d say, "this freshman dining hall looks like something out of hogwart"s from the movie "harry potter," which it does. this is hogwart"s from the movie "harry potter" and that"s harvard. and when they see this, they say, "shawn, why do you waste your time studying happiness at harvard? seriously, what does a harvard student possibly have to be unhappy about?"

embedded within that question is the key to understanding the science of happiness. because what that question assumes is that our e_ternal world is predictive of our happiness levels, when in reality, if i know everything about your e_ternal world, i can only predict 10 percent of your long-term happiness. 90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the e_ternal world, but by the way your brain processes the world. and if we change it, if we change our formula for happiness and success, what we can do is change the way that we can then affect reality. what we found is that only 25 percent of job successes are predicted by i.q. 75 percent of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.

i talked to a boarding school up in new england, probably the most prestigious boarding school, and they said, "we already know that. so every year, instead of just teaching our students, we also have a wellness week. and we"re so e_cited. monday night we have the world"s leading e_pert coming in to speak about adolescent depression. tuesday night it"s school violence and bullying. wednesday night is eating disorders. thursday night is elicit drug use. and friday night we"re trying to decide between risky se_ or happiness." (laughter) i said, "that"s most people"s friday nights." (laughter) (applause) which i"m glad you liked, but they did not like that at all. silence on the phone. and into the silence, i said, "i"d be happy to speak at your school, but just so you know, that"s not a wellness week, that"s a sickness week. what you"ve done is you"ve outlined all the negative things that can happen, but not talked about the positive."

the absence of disease is not health. here"s how we get to health: we need to reverse the formula for happiness and success. in the last three years, i"ve traveled to 45 different countries, working with schools and companies in the midst of an economic downturn. and what i found is that most companies and schools follow a formula for success, which is this: if i work harder, i"ll be more successful. and if i"m more successful, then i"ll be happier. that undergirds most of our parenting styles, our managing styles, the way that we motivate our behavior.

and the problem is it"s scientifically broken and backwards for two reasons. first, every time your brain has a success, you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like. you got good grades, now you have to get better grades, you got into a good school and after you get into a better school, you got a good job, now you have to get a better job, you hit your sales target, we"re going to change your sales target. and if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there. what we"ve done is we"ve pushed happiness over the cognitive horizon as a society. and that"s because we think we have to be successful, then we"ll be happier.

but the real problem is our brains work in the opposite order. if you can raise somebody"s level of positivity in the present, then their brain e_periences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than it does at negative, neutral or stressed. your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. in fact, what we"ve found is that every single business outcome improves. your brain at positive is 31 percent more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed. you"re 37 percent better at sales. doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate at coming up with the correct diagnosis when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed. which means we can reverse the formula. if we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully as we"re able to work harder, faster and more intelligently.

what we need to be able to do is to reverse this formula so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of. because dopamine, which floods into your system when you"re positive, has two functions. not only does it make you happier, it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.

we"ve found that there are ways that you can train your brain to be able to become more positive. in just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, we can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully. we"ve done these things in research now in every single company that i"ve worked with, getting them to write down three new things that they"re grateful for for 21 days in a row, three new things each day. and at the end of that, their brain starts to retain a pattern of scanning the world, not for the negative, but for the positive first.

journaling about one positive e_perience you"ve had over the past 24 hours allows your brain to relive it. e_ercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters. we find that meditation allows your brain to get over the cultural adhd that we"ve been creating by trying to do multiple tasks at once and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand. and finally, random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness. we get people, when they open up their inbo_, to write one positive email praising or thanking somebody in their social support network.

and by doing these activities and by training your brain just like we train our bodies, what we"ve found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success, and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity, but create a real revolution.

thank you very much.

找工作面试为什么过不去

演讲者：regina hartley

your company launches a search for an open position. the applications start rolling in, and the qualified candidates are identified. now the choosing begins. person a: ivy league, 4.0, flawless resume, great recommendations. all the right stuff. person b: state school, fair amount of job hopping, and odd jobs like cashier and singing waitress. but remember -- both are qualified. so i ask you: who are you going to pick?

你的公司发布了一个公开招聘的职位。申请表开始滚滚而来，合格的候选人已被挑选出来。现在开始挑选。候选人a：常春藤盟校，绩点4.0，完美的履历，出色的推荐信。所有好的要素都具备。候选人b：公立学校毕业，碾转于各种工作之间，甚至包括做收银员和唱歌的服务生。不过请记得—— 两位都是符合要求的。所以，我要问问你们：你们会选择哪一位?

my colleagues and i created very official terms to describe two distinct categories of candidates. we call a "the silver spoon," the one who clearly had advantages and was destined for success. and we call b "the scrapper," the one who had to fight against tremendous odds to get to the same point. you just heard a human resources director refer to people as silver spoons and scrappers --

我和我的同事发明了一些非常正式的术语，来描述这两个不同类别的候选人。我们把 a 称为"含着金钥匙(直译为‘银汤匙’)的人"，一个明显具有优势，而且注定会成功的人。我们把 b 称为"拳击手"，必须努力冲破重重难关才能实现同样的目标。你们刚刚听到了一个人力资源总监将应聘者比作 银汤匙和拳击手——

which is not e_actly politically correct and sounds a bit judgmental. but before my human resources certification gets revoked --let me e_plain.

这听起来在政治上不太正确，而且还有些武断。但在我的人力资源证书被吊销前——让我来解释一下。

a resume tells a story. and over the years, i"ve learned something about people whose e_periences read like a patchwork quilt, that makes me stop and fully consider them before tossing their resumes away. a series of odd jobs may indicate inconsistency, lack of focus, unpredictability. or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. at the very least, the scrapper deserves an interview.

一份简历讲述了一个故事。过去的那些年，我了解到那些经历好似拼布床单的人，会让我在把他们的简历扔掉前会停下来认真地考虑一下他们。一系列杂乱的工作可能意味着易变，不专心，难以捉摸。或者，它可能标志着努力挣扎跨越障碍。至少，"拳击手"应该得到一次面试机会。

to be clear, i don"t hold anything against the silver spoon; getting into and graduating from an elite university takes a lot of hard work and sacrifice. but if your whole life has been engineered toward success,how will you handle the tough times? one person i hired felt that because he attended an elite university,there were certain assignments that were beneath him, like temporarily doing manual labor to better understand an operation. eventually, he quit. but on the flip side, what happens when your whole life is destined for failure and you actually succeed?

不过我要强调一下，我并不排斥"银汤匙";能够被精英大学录取并顺利毕业，同样需要付出很多心血和牺牲。但是，如果你的一生都被设计为走向成功，你要如何应对困难的时刻呢?一位我曾经雇用过的人认为，因为他毕业于精英大学，某些类型的工作对他而言是低下的，比如短时间从事体力劳动以更好地了解公司运作。最终，他离开了。但是，另一方面，如果你的人生注定失败，而你却成功了，这是怎么回事呢?

i want to urge you to interview the scrapper. i know a lot about this because i am a scrapper. before i was born, my father was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and he couldn"t hold a job in spite of his brilliance. our lives were one part "cuckoo"s nest," one part "awakenings" and one part "a beautiful mind."

我会建议你去面试"拳击手"。我很了解这些， 因为我自己就是一个"拳击手"。 在我出生之前， 我的父亲就被诊断为精神分裂症， 他无法继续工作 尽管他很有才华。 我们的生活就像"飞越疯人院"， "无语问苍天"， 和"美丽心灵"的合集。

i"m the fourth of five children raised by a single mother in a rough neighborhood in brooklyn, new york. we never owned a home, a car, a washing machine, and for most of my childhood, we didn"t even have a telephone. so i was highly motivated to understand the relationship between business success and scrappers, because my life could easily have turned out very differently. as i met successful business people and read profiles of high-powered leaders, i noticed some commonality.

我是一位单身母亲五个孩子中的第四个，我们在纽约布鲁克林一个混乱的街区生活。我们从未拥有过一个家，一辆车，或是一个洗衣机，在我童年的大部分时间，我们甚至没有一部电话。因此我有很强的意愿去理解生意场的成功和"拳击手"的关联，因为我的人生很容易就会发展出不同的结局。我见过成功的商人，也阅读过具备出色领导能力的人的资料，我发现了其中的一些共性。

many of them had e_perienced early hardships, anywhere from poverty, abandonment, death of a parent while young, to learning disabilities, alcoholism and violence. the conventional thinking has been that trauma leads to distress, and there"s been a lot of focus on the resulting dysfunction. but during studies of dysfunction, data revealed an une_pected insight: that even the worst circumstances can result in growth and transformation. a remarkable and counterintuitive phenomenon has been discovered, which scientists call post traumatic growth.

他们中的很多人经历过早年的困顿，可能是贫穷，被抛弃，亲人的早逝， 也可能是学习障碍，酗酒和暴力。传统的思维认为创伤会导致痛苦，而且还重点强调了失败的结果。但在我研究这些不成功的案例期间，得到的数据却揭示了一个出乎意料的结论：即便是最糟的境遇也能导致成长和转变。一个显著但有悖常理的现象已经被发现了，科学家们称之为"创后成长"。

in one study designed to measure the effects of adversity on children at risk, among a subset of 698 childrenwho e_perienced the most severe and e_treme conditions, fully one-third grew up to lead healthy, successful and productive lives. in spite of everything and against tremendous odds, they succeeded. one-third.

在一项设计用来衡量逆境对困苦的孩子会产生怎样影响的研究表明，在698位参与测试的孩子，在经历了最艰苦严苛的考验后，他们中的三分之一长大后获得了健康、成功以及丰富的人生。尽管经历了巨大的艰难，但最后还是成功了。有三分之一这么多。

take this resume. this guy"s parents give him up for adoption. he never finishes college. he job-hops quite a bit, goes on a sojourn to india for a year, and to top it off, he has dysle_ia. would you hire this guy? his name is steve jobs.

看看这份简历。他被亲生父母抛弃，交由他人收养。他没有完成大学学业。他在某段时期频繁跳槽，在印度逗留了一年，不止如此，他还有阅读障碍。你会雇用他吗? 他的名字是史蒂夫·乔布斯。

in a study of the world"s most highly successful entrepreneurs, it turns out a disproportionate number have dysle_ia. in the us, 35 percent of the entrepreneurs studied had dysle_ia. what"s remarkable -- among those entrepreneurs who e_perience post traumatic growth, they now view their learning disability as a desirable difficulty which provided them an advantage because they became better listeners and paid greater attention to detail.

一个对全球最成功企业家群体的研究表明，相当数量的企业家有阅读障碍。在美国， 35%的企业家有阅读障碍。值得注意的是——这些企业家中那些经历过创后成长的人， 成功后的他们将这样的学习障碍看作是值得经历的困难，这样的困难给予了他们优势，他们因此成为更好的听众，并且更加关注细节。

they don"t think they are who they are in spite of adversity, they know they are who they are because of adversity. they embrace their trauma and hardships as key elements of who they"ve become, and know that without those e_periences, they might not have developed the muscle and grit required to become successful.

他们在经历逆境前， 并没有看到自己的潜力， 而因为逆境，他们准确地定位了自己。 他们拥抱伤害和困顿， 这是他们成为成功企业家的关键要素， 他们知道，如果没有这些经历， 他们也许没有办法发展出成功者 需要具备的勇气和毅力。

one of my colleagues had his life completely upended as a result of the chinese cultural revolution in 1966. at age 13, his parents were relocated to the countryside, the schools were closed and he was left alone in beijing to fend for himself until 16, when he got a job in a clothing factory. but instead of accepting his fate, he made a resolution that he would continue his formal education. eleven years later, when the political landscape changed, he heard about a highly selective university admissions test. he had three months to learn the entire curriculum of middle and high school.

我有一位同事，因为中国 1966年的文化大革命，他的人生彻底颠覆了。在他13岁那年，他的父母被下放农村，学校关闭了， 而他独自在北京谋生， 直到16岁， 他在服装厂找到了一份工作。 与其接受命运， 他决心不如继续完成学业。 20__年后，政治版图改变了， 他听说了一个 竞争相当激烈的大学入学考试。 他只有3个月来学习整个初中 以及高中的课程。

so, every day he came home from the factory, took a nap, studied until 4am, went back to work and repeated this cycle every day for three months.he did it, he succeeded. his commitment to his education was unwavering, and he never lost hope. today, he holds a master"s degree, and his daughters each have degrees from cornell and harvard.

于是，每天他从工厂回家后， 先睡一小觉，然后学习到凌晨四点， 回去工厂工作， 就这样日复一日过了整整三个月。 他做到了，他成功了。 他继续求学的决心非常坚定， 也从未放弃希望。 今天，他拥有了硕士学位， 他的两个女儿则分别毕业于 康奈尔大学和哈佛大学。

scrappers are propelled by the belief that the only person you have full control over is yourself. when things don"t turn out well, scrappers ask, "what can i do differently to create a better result?" scrappers have a sense of purpose that prevents them from giving up on themselves, kind of like if you"ve survived poverty, a crazy father and several muggings, you figure, "business challenges? --really? piece of cake. i got this."

"拳击手"被信念推动向前进，相信只有自己才能掌握自己的命运。当事情发展并不尽如人意，"拳击手"会问，"我能做些什么别的来创造一个更好的结果?""拳击手"有目标意识，永不放弃自己， 如果你从贫穷，疯狂的父亲 和数次被抢劫的经历中存活下来， 你会觉得，"商业挑战?——这还算事儿吗?太简单了。我能搞定。"

and that reminds me -- humor. scrappers know that humor gets you through the tough times, and laughter helps you change your perspective.

这不禁让我想起——幽默感。"拳击手"知道，幽默能够帮你度过最艰难的时刻，嘲笑你的人会帮助你改变对未来的看法。

and finally, there are relationships. people who overcome adversity don"t do it alone. somewhere along the way, they find people who bring out the best in them and who are invested in their success. having someone you can count on no matter what is essential to overcoming adversity.

最后，还有人际关系。那些克服困难的人并非一直单打独斗。奋斗过程中的某时某刻，他们会遇到伯乐，以及在他们成功的道路上倾囊相助的人。不管发生什么事，总有一个人可以依靠，这是克服困境的关键。

i was lucky. in my first job after college, i didn"t have a car, so i carpooled across two bridges with a woman who was the president"s assistant. she watched me work and encouraged me to focus on my future and not dwell on my past. along the way i"ve met many people who"ve provided me brutally honest feedback, advice and mentorship. these people don"t mind that i once worked as a singing waitress to help pay for college.

我很幸运。 得到大学毕业后的第一份工作时，我还没有车，所以我与人拼车，跨越两座桥去上班，那位女士当时还是总统助理。她看到我工作，并鼓励我放眼未来，不要老是想着过去。一路走来我遇到了很多人，让我懂得了忠言逆耳，他们都是我的良师益友。这些人并不在意 我曾经是个为了支付上大学的开销而唱歌打工的女服务生。

i"ll leave you with one final, valuable insight. companies that are committed to diversity and inclusive practices tend to support scrappers and outperform their peers. according to diversityinc, a study of their top 50 companies for diversity outperformed the s&p 500 by 25 percent.

最后再分享一个有价值的见解。那些致力于多样化和包容开放行为的公司更愿意去支持"拳击手"，让他们比同辈更出色。《多元化企业》杂志的一项研究表明，最多元化的50家企业的运营表现超越了标准普尔500指数25%。

so back to my original question. who are you going to bet on: silver spoon or scrapper? i say choose the underestimated contender, whose secret weapons are passion and purpose.

那么回到我最初的问题。你会将赌注放在谁身上："银汤匙"还是"拳击手"?我会选择被低估的竞争者，他/她的秘密武器是激情和决心。

hire the scrapper.

请雇用"拳击手"。

《找工作面试为什么过不去》观后感

夏，刚刚从大学毕业。带着一脸的稚气与自信一头钻进了人才交流市场。几经"争战"，终于来到了她心仪的公司进行复试。

复试的人很多，有与夏一样的大学生，也有年纪大一些的。大家都很紧张，紧紧盯着面试的那间屋子的大门。这时夏被叫了进去。"请问，小姐你最看重的品质是什么?"主考官发问了。夏毫不犹豫地回答："诚实，有信用。"主考官满意地点点头。随后又问了一些

常规性的问题，就让夏回家等通知了。

夏很紧张，慌忙地拎着包下楼了，刚要出大门，有一个年轻人叫住了她，急喘喘地说："对不起，你是刚参加完面试的吗?你是学财会的吗?我们正需要验钞机，可人手不够，你能不能……"夏点了点头，接过了那人递过来的两千元。夏很好奇，怎么会这么放心就给了我两千元，但又不好问，夏转身就走了。

八月的天气，骄阳似火，太阳在太空炫耀着自己的激情，云早就不知道躲在什么地方纳凉了。夏奔波于各大商场，却没发现物美价廉的验钞机。终于在一个私人电器行里，她发现了一部最新的，而价格也很公道。夏买下了它。

"小姐，发票开多少钱?"老板问她。"开多少钱?"夏不明白了，难道不是是多少写多少?老板看出她的惊讶，嘿嘿地笑了两声，"你想开多少都行，报了销不就成你的了。"看着老板扭曲的脸，她感到一阵冷意直冲头顶，她摇了摇头。

她回到公司，发现每个人都抱着一部验钞机，主考官站在其中，仔细巡视每一张发票。"信任""好奇"一下子夏都明白了。别人的发票金额都比夏高好多，所以夏通过了复试。

她被领到写字间，来到她的座位上。旁边站着一个正在收拾东西的女孩，女孩看了她一眼冷笑道："这么快，又来了一位，劝你一句，在这儿干必须听话，做账不是看数，而是看人。"夏又是一脸惊愕。"慢慢你就懂了，你也有这一天。"女孩丢下一句话，不屑地走了。夏眼前又浮现出电器行老板扭曲的笑脸。

看看手里刚发的工作证，忽然有种莫名的气愤。她将工作证及抽屉匙一起放在桌面上，旁边附着一张纸，只有两个字："诚信"。

她离开了那，消失在灿烂的阳光里。
