Richard St.John在Ted 英语演讲：成功的八个秘诀(中英双语)
2014-09-08
激情，刻苦，精通，专注，强迫，服务，点子，坚持，这就是成功的秘诀
This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a
high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family.
这真的是一个我给高中学生做的2个小时的演讲现在缩到了3分钟所有的一切都是从7年前的一天开始，我坐在飞往TED会议的飞机上。在我邻座坐的是一个高中生，一个十几岁的年轻人。她生于一个贫穷的家庭而且她的愿望是成就一番事业所以她问了我一个简单的小问题。
And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success?" And I felt
really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer. So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don't I ask them what helped them succeed, and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later, and I'm gonna tell you what really leads to success and makes TED-sters tick.
她说：“怎样做才能成功呢？”我当时觉得糟透了因为我不能给她一个满意的答案后来我下了飞机，来到TED 忽然间我想到，天啊，我置身于一屋子成功人士之中！
为什么我不问问他们是怎样走向成功的呢。这样我就可以把答案告诉孩子们了。所以就这样，7年中我坐了500次采访。现在我就要告诉你们是什么带来了成功是什么启发了TED演讲者们。
【And the first thing is passion.】
第一点是激情
Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TED-sters do it for love; they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay
someone to do what I do." And the interesting thing is: if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.
Freeman Thomas 说：“我总是被我的热情所牵引着”TED的讲演者因为有爱才做事情，不是为了钱。Carol Colletta 说：“我会付给别人钱去做我的工作。”有趣的是如果你是为了爱而做的，钱自然而然就来了。
【Work!】
刻苦
Rupert Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun." Did he say fun? Rupert? Yes! TED-sters do have fun working. And they work hard. I figured, they're not workaholics. They're workafrolics.
Rupert Murdoch 曾经告诉过我“都是刻苦“为努力”“天下没有白吃的午餐。但是我得到了很多乐趣。”他提到了乐趣？？Rupert？是的！TED讲演者都有一份充满乐趣的工作，而且他们都很刻苦。我觉得，他们都不是工作狂，他们是享受工作狂。
【Good! 】
精通
Alex Garden says, "To be successful put your nose down in something and get damn good at it." There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.
Alex Garden说：”要想成功，就要真的深入其中““然后做到精通。”想要做到精通没有秘诀，就是练习，练习，再练习。还
【And it's focus.】
有就是专注
Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
Norman Jewison 告诉过我，“我想成功就要使自己专注于一件事情”
【And push! 】
强迫
David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push." You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt. Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers. （Laughter）Frank Gehry —Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."
David Gallo说：“强迫你自己，”“心
灵上，神情上。你一定要强迫，强迫，强迫。”“你要强迫自己去战胜羞涩和自我怀疑”Goldie Hawn说：“我总是怀疑自己。怀疑自己不够优秀，不用聪明。我从不相信我会成功。”想要成功地强迫自己并不总容易，这就是为什么要发明妈妈。Frank Gehry-Frank Gehry对我说：“我妈妈过去总是督促我。”
【Serve!】
服务
Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." Now a
lot of kids tell me they want to be millionaires. And the first thing I say to them is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you gotta serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich."
Sherwin Nuland 说：“能够作为一名医生为他人服务是一种荣幸。”现在很多孩子告诉我他们想成为百万富翁。但是一件事我对他们说的是，“好的，但是你不能为你自己服务，”“你需要为他人提供对他人有利的服务。””因为这就是人们致富的方式。“
【Ideas!】
点子
TED-ster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea: founding the first
micro-computer software company." I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas —it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence.
TED演讲者Bill Gates 说：”我曾经有过一个点子，“成立第一个微机软件公
司。”我必须承认这真的是很好的一个点子。对于能想出点子的创造力来讲没有什么魔力可言。都是些简单平常的事情。而且我可以举出很多证据。
【Persist!】
坚持
Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You gotta persist through failure. You gotta persist through crap! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and
Pressure." （Laughter）So, the big —the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED. Or failing that, do the eight things —and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success. Thank you TED-sters for all your interviews!
Joe Kraus 说“恒心是我们成功地第一条原因。”你必须坚持度过失败，你必须坚持度过crap，这里的crap是指”批评，拒绝，卑鄙小人和压力“（大笑）所以，这个问题的答案很简单：付4000块来TED会场。如果不能来，就做到以上八点---相信我，这重要的八点就是通向成功的
秘诀。谢谢TED讲演者参与我的采访！

Ted中英对照演讲稿 大人能从小孩身上学到什么 Now, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal American citizens, we are called childish, which really bothers me. After all, take a look at these events: Imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Who's responsible? Adults. 首先我要问大家一个问题：上一回别人说你幼稚是什么时候？像我这样的小孩，可能经常会被 人说成是幼稚。每一次我们提出不合理的要求，做出不负责任的行为，或者展现出有别于普通美 国公民的惯常行为之时，我们就被说成是幼稚。这让我很不服气。首先，让我们来回顾下这些事件：帝国主义和殖民主义，世界大战，小布什。请你们扪心自问下：这些该归咎于谁？是大人。 Now, what have kids done? Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust, Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. The traits the word childish addresses are seen so often in adults that we should abolish this age-discriminatory word when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking. 而小孩呢，做了些什么？安妮·弗兰克(Anne Frank)对大屠杀强有力的叙述打动了数百万人的心。鲁比·布里奇斯为美国种族隔离的终结作出了贡献。另外，最近还有一个例子，查理·辛普 森（Charlie Simpson）骑自行车为海地募得 12万英镑。所以，这些例子证明了年龄与行为完 全没有关系。 "幼稚"这个词所对应的特点是常常可以从大人身上看到，由此我们在批评不负责 和非理性的相关行为时，应停止使用这个年龄歧视的词。 (Applause) Thank you. Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: That's impossible or that costs too much or that won't
TED演讲：成功的关键不是智商，而是毅力在我27岁的时候，我辞去了一份非常有挑战性的职业—企业管理咨询，转而投入了一份更加具有挑战性的职业：教育。 我来到纽约的一些公立学校教7年级的学生的数学。和别的老师一样，我会给学生们做小测验和考试，我会给他们布置家庭作业。当这些试卷和作业收上来之后，我计算了他们的成绩。 让我震惊的是，IQ的高低并不是我最好的和最差的学生之间唯一的差别。一些在课业上表现很好的学生并不具有非常高的IQ分数。一些非常聪明的孩子反而在课业上表现的不那么尽如人意。 这引起了我的思考。当然，学生们在7年级需要学习的东西是有难度的，像比率，小数，平行四边形的面积计算。但是这些概念是完全可以被掌握的，我坚信我的每一位学生都可以学会教材内容，只要他们肯花时间和精力的话。 经过几年教学之后，我得出一个结论，我们在教育方面所需要的是从学习动力的角度和心理学的角度，对学生和学习行为进行一次更为深刻的理解。在教育体系中，我们都知道评价优秀学生的标准就是IQ，但如果在学校和生活中的优秀表现远不仅仅依赖于你轻松高效学习的能力呢？ 所以我离开了讲台，回到学校继续攻读心理学硕士学位。我
开始研究孩子和大人，在各种非常具有挑战性的情况下，以及在各项研究中，我的问题是谁才是成功者，为什么他们会成功？ 我和我的研究团队前往西点军校展开调研，我们试图预测哪些学员能够耐得住军队的训练，哪些会被淘汰出局。我们前去观摩全国拼字比赛，同时也试着预测哪些孩子会晋级到最后的比赛。我们研究在恶劣的工作环境下工作的，刚入行的老师，询问他们哪些老师决定会在学年结束后继续留下来任教，以及他们之中谁能最快地提高学生的学习成绩。 我们与私企合作，向他们询问哪些销售人员可以保住工作，哪些可以赚钱最多？在所有那些不同的情境下，一种性格特征凸显了出来，这种特征在很大程度上预示了成功。而且它并不是社交智力。不是漂亮的外表，强健的体魄，也不是很高的IQ，它是坚毅。 坚毅是对长远目标的激情和坚持，坚毅是拥有持久的恒劲，坚毅是你对未来的坚持，日复一日不是仅仅持续一个星期或者一个月，而是几年甚至几十年努力奋斗着让自己的梦想变为现实。坚毅是把生活当成一场马拉松而不是一次短跑。 几年前，在芝加哥的公立学校里，我开始研究坚毅。我对上千名初中生进行了关于坚毅的问卷调查，然后等候了一年多，来看最终哪些学生能毕业。
杨澜TED演讲：重塑中国的年轻一代（中英文对照） The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of “China’s Got Talent” show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest? Susan Boyle. And I told her, “I’m going to Scotland the next day.” She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese] So it’s not like “hello” or “thank you,” that ordinary stuff. It means “green onion for free.” Why did she say that? Because it was a li ne from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle — a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn’t understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in C hinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was “green onion for free.” So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious. 来苏格兰（做TED讲演）的前夜，我被邀请去上海做”中国达人秀“决赛的评委。在装有八万现场观众的演播厅里，在台上的表演嘉宾居然是（来自苏格兰的，因参加英国达人秀走红的）苏珊大妈（Susan Boyle)。我告诉她，“我明天就要启程去苏格兰。” 她唱得很动听，还对观众说了几句中文，她并没有说简单的”你好“或者”谢谢“，她说的是——“送你葱”（Song Ni Cong)。为什么？这句话其实来源于中国版的“苏珊大妈”——一位五十岁的以卖菜为生，却对西方歌剧有出奇爱好的上海中年妇女（蔡洪平）。这位中国的苏珊大妈并不懂英文，法语或意大利文，所以她将歌剧中的词汇都换做中文中的蔬菜名，并且演唱出来。在她口中，歌剧《图兰朵》的最后一句便是“Song Ni Cong”。当真正的英国苏珊大妈唱出这一句“中文的”《图兰朵》时，全场的八万观众也一起高声歌唱，场面的确有些滑稽（hilarious)。 So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference. 我想Susan Boyle和这位上海的买菜农妇的确属于人群中的少数。她们是最不可能在演艺界成功的，而她们的勇气和才华让她们成功了，这个节目和舞台给予了她们一个实现个人梦想的机会。这样看来，与众不同好像没有那么难。从不同的方面审视，我们每个人都是不同的。但是我想，与众不同是一件好事，因为你代表了不一样的观点，你拥有了做改变的机会。 My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990, when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great
TED英语演讲稿 When you are a kid, you get asked this one particular question a lot, it really gets kind of annoying. What do you want to be when you grow up? Now, adults are hoping for answers like, I want to be an astronaut or I want to be a neurosurgeon, youre adults in your imaginations. Kids, theyre most likely to answer with pro-skateboarder, surfer or minecraft player. I asked my little brother, and he said, seriously dude, Im 10, I have no idea, probably a pro-skier, lets go get some ice cream. See, us kids are going to answer something were stoked on, what we think is cool, what we have experience with, and thats typically the opposite of what adults want to hear. But if you ask a little kid, sometimes youll get the best answer, something so simple, so obvious and really profound. When I grow up, I want to be happy. For me, when I grow up, I want to continue to be happy like I am now. Im stoked to be here at TedEx, I mean, Ive been watching Ted videos for as long as I can remember, but I never thought Id make it on the stage here so soon. I mean, I just became a teenager, and like most teenage boys, I spend most of my time wondering,

When I was in my 20s, I saw my very first psychotherapy client. I was a Ph.D. student in clinical psychology at Berkeley. She was a 26-year-old woman named Alex. 记得见我第一位心理咨询顾客时,我才20多岁。当时我是Berkeley临床心理学在读博士生。我的第一位顾客是名叫Alex的女性,26岁。 Now Alex walked into her first session wearing jeans and a big slouchy top, and she dropped onto the couch in my office and kicked off her flats and told me she was there to talk about guy problems. Now when I heard this, I was so relieved. My classmate got an arsonist for her first client. (Laughter) And I got a twentysomething who wanted to talk about boys. This I thought I could handle. 第一次见面Alex穿着牛仔裤和宽松上衣走进来,她一下子栽进我办公室的沙 发上,踢掉脚上的平底鞋,跟我说她想谈谈男生的问题。当时我听到这个之后松了一口气。因为我同学的第一个顾客是纵火犯,而我的顾客却是一个20出头想谈谈男生的女孩。我觉得我可以搞定。But I didn't handle it. With the funny stories that Alex would bring to session, it was easy for me just to nod my head while we kicked the can down the road. 但是我没有搞定。Alex不断地讲有趣的事情,而我只能简单地点头认同她所 说的,很自然地就陷入了附和的状态。 "Thirty's the new 20," Alex would say, and as far as I could tell, she was right. Work happened later, marriage happened later, kids happened later, even death happened later. Twentysomethings like
TED演讲成功的秘诀 很多的者都会学习ted中的演讲技巧，现在提供TED演讲成功的秘诀，一般人不告诉ta哦。 一前期准备工作 当我想到要做一个扣人心弦的演讲，在我脑海中浮现的是去带着观众踏上一段旅途。 1.做好提纲 除非你有值得一说的东西，不然你就做不了一个好的演讲。而对你想说的内容进行提炼和建立结构是准备过程中最重要的部分。 2.讲一个故事 我们都知道人们很喜欢听故事，而那些最引人入胜的叙述结构中都有着大量的隐喻。当我想到要做一个扣人心弦的演讲，在我脑海中浮现的是去带着观众踏上一段旅途。一个成功的演讲是一个小小的奇迹，人们由此看到不同的世界。 如果你把故事当作一段旅途，最重要的便是找出从哪里开始、到哪里结束。想想观众们对你的故事可能已经有了哪些了解、他们有多关心它，以此找到合适的起点。
最棒的演讲者会非常快速地介绍主题，解释他们自己为什么会对这个话题感兴趣，并说服观众相信他们也应该关注这个主题。 3.突出重点 我在演讲者的初稿中发现的最大问题是会涵盖太多内容。你无法在一个演讲中去概括整个行业。如果你试图将你知道的所有东西都塞进演讲，那就没时间去举出关键的细节了，而且你的演讲会因各种抽象的语言而晦涩难懂，从而会导致本身就懂的人能听得懂，而之前不懂的人就不知所云了。 你需要举出具体的例子来使你的想法有血有肉，充实起来。 不要一心想把所有东西都纳入到一个短短的演讲。相反地，要深入。不要告诉我们你研究的整个领域，告诉我们你的独特贡献。 当然，过度阐述或者纠结于内容的意义也不可行。对这种情况有另一套补救的方法。记住，观众们很聪明。让他们自己去找寻出一些意义，去各自归纳收获的结论。 4.营造悬念 很多顶级的演讲具有着侦探小说般的叙事结构，演讲者引出问题开始演讲，然后介绍寻求解决方法的过程，直到恍然大悟的一刻，这时观众自会看到这一切叙述的意义。 如果一个演讲失败了，几乎都是因为讲者没有设计好整个故事，错误估计了观众的兴趣点，或者忽略了故事本身。即使话题再重要，没有足够的叙述作为铺垫，反而偶然冒出一些武断的意见总会让人感到不爽。没有一个递进的过程，就不会感到自己有所收获。 二想好演讲方式 我认为最简单且实用的方法就是上台前做一下深呼吸。 1.最受欢迎的演讲都是背好了讲 一旦你想好怎么说故事了，就可以开始重点考虑具体的演讲方式。发表一个演讲有三个主要的途径：1、照着手稿或提词器直接读;2、记下演讲提纲来提示你要讲的具体内 容;3、记住全部内容。 我的建议是：别照着读，也别使用提词器。一旦被人们看出来你在照着读，观众们的注意力就会转移。突然你就与观众变得疏远。 我们很多最受欢迎的TED演讲都是逐字逐句完全记下来的。如果你有充裕的时间做 这样的准备，这其实就是最好的演讲方式。

I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine. 嗨。我在这里要和大家谈谈向别人表达赞美，倾佩和谢意的重要性。并使它们听来真诚，具体。 And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I'd just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy, I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to investigate. 之所以我对此感兴趣是因为我从我自己的成长中注意到几年前，当我想要对某个人说声谢谢时，当我想要赞美他们时，当我想接受他们对我的赞扬，但我却没有说出口。我问我自己，这是为什么? 我感到害羞，我感到尴尬。接着我产生了一个问题难道我是唯一一个这么做的人吗?

Dr.Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain andhowitchangesandgrowsinresponsetochallenge,they'remuchmore likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believethat failure is a permanent condition. So growth mindset is a greatidea for building grit. But we need more, and that's where I'm goingto end my remarks because that's where we are. That's the work thatstands before us. We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions andweneedtotestthem.Weneedtomeasurewhetherwe'vebeensuccessfulandwehavet obewillingtofail,tobewrong,tostartover again with lessons learned.

Yang Lan: The generation that's remaking China The night before I was heading for Scotland, I was invited to host the final of "China's Got Talent" show in Shanghai with the 80,000 live audience in the stadium. Guess who was the performing guest?Susan Boyle. And I told her, "I'm going to Scotland the next day." She sang beautifully, and she even managed to say a few words in Chinese. [Chinese]So it's not like "hello" or "thank you," that ordinary stuff. It means "green onion for free." Why did she say that? Because it was a line from our Chinese parallel Susan Boyle -- a 50-some year-old woman, a vegetable vendor in Shanghai, who loves singing Western opera, but she didn't understand any English or French or Italian, so she managed to fill in the lyrics with vegetable names in Chinese. (Laughter) And the last sentence of Nessun Dorma that she was singing in the stadium was "green onion for free." So [as] Susan Boyle was saying that, 80,000 live audience sang together. That was hilarious. So I guess both Susan Boyle and this vegetable vendor in Shanghai belonged to otherness. They were the least expected to be successful in the business called entertainment, yet their courage and talent brought them through. And a show and a platform gave them the stage to realize their dreams. Well, being different is not that difficult. We are all different from different perspectives. But I think being different is good, because you present a different point of view. You may have the chance to make a difference. My generation has been very fortunate to witness and participate in the historic transformation of China that has made so many changes in the past 20, 30 years. I remember that in the year of 1990,when I was graduating from college, I was applying for a job in the sales department of the first five-star hotel in Beijing, Great Wall Sheraton -- it's still there. So after being interrogated by this Japanese manager for a half an hour, he finally said, "So, Miss Yang, do you have any questions to ask me?"I summoned my courage and poise and said,"Yes, but could you let me know, what actually do you sell?" I didn't have a clue what a sales department was about in a five-star hotel. That was the first day I set my foot in a five-star hotel. Around the same time, I was going through an audition -- the first ever open audition by national television in China -- with another thousand college girls. The producer told us they were looking for some sweet, innocent and beautiful fresh face. So when it was my turn, I stood up and said, "Why [do] women's personalities on television always have to be beautiful, sweet, innocent and, you know, supportive? Why can't they have their own ideas and their own voice?" I thought I kind of offended them. But actually, they were impressed by my words. And so I was in the second round of competition, and then the third and the fourth. After seven rounds of competition, I was the last one to survive it. So I was on a national television prime-time show. And believe it or not, that was the first show on Chinese television that allowed its hosts to speak out of their own minds without reading an approved script. (Applause) And my weekly audience at that time was between 200 to 300 million people. Well after a few years, I decided to go to the U.S. and Columbia University to pursue my postgraduate studies, and then started my own media company, which was unthought of during the years that I started my career. So we do a lot of things. I've interviewed more than a thousand people in the past. And sometimes I have young people approaching me say, "Lan, you changed

And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family.
这真的是一个我给高中学生做的2个小时的演讲现在缩到了3分钟所有的一切都是从7年前的一天开始，我坐在飞往TED会议的飞机上。在我邻座坐的是一个高中生，一个十几岁的年轻人。她生于一个贫穷的家庭而且她的愿望是成就一番 事业所以她问了我一个简单的小问题。 And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, "What leads to success" And I felt really badly, because I couldn't give her a good answer. So I get off the plane, and I come to TED. And I think, jeez, I'm in
