27We continued to wait we didn't hear anything and then later on that day我们继续等待,我们什么也没听到,然后在那天晚些时候

44Deliberately because my mother felt that if you want to make it in life, you need to be able to relate to everybody故意地因为我妈妈觉得 如果你想在生活中做, 你需要能够与每个人联系起来

65As I mentioned就像我说的
66Especially after having gone to Oxford and I went to grad school as well in New York, Columbia特别是我和牛津大学毕业后 也在纽约哥伦比亚大学
67I really believed up until that point that hard work was the key to being successful and now I realized there's a lot more to直到那时,我一直相信 辛勤工作是成功的关键 现在我意识到还有很多事情要做
68The story I'm gonna share with you what I think is more to the story我要和你们分享的故事 我认为更多的故事

74I really wanted to sort of move up within the company and no matter how hard I worked我真的想在公司里走动 不管我多努力

77Promote me it never happened and in fact升我它从来没有发生过,事实上
78For the position I wanted they began looking for external candidates.为了我想要的职位,他们开始寻找外部候选人。
79I'm sure anyone who's been through that knows how that can be and我敢肯定,任何经历过的人 谁知道如何是和
80Because I was the receptionist因为我是接待员
81It was my job to serve water to the people who are coming in to interview for the job that I wanted我的工作是给那些来面试的人 送水给我
82I knowи笵
83It was it wasn't easy and so I didn't really necessarily feel good about myself because of that and I did some soul-searching事情并不容易,所以我对我自己 不一定感觉很好,因为我做了一些灵魂的探索
84And I asked myself.我问自己。
85Okay.摆

87This is probably not meant for you, what do you really want to do and I'd always been passionate about broadcast journalism这对你可能不合适,你到底想做什么 而我一直热衷于广播新闻
88So I called a television station in New York a local news station and I asked them所以我打电话给纽约的一家电视台 一个地方新闻站,我问他们
89What do I need to do to get a job with you guys?我要怎么做才能和你们一起工作?
90So unfortunately, I didn't have any experience很不幸,我没有经验

92Answering phones and sending faxes.接电话和传真
93That's all I really knew how to do我只知道该怎么做
94And so they said no repeatedly to me and on top of that I had a British accent所以他们不重复地对我说 而且我有英国口音
95And in America you want to get into the local news business.而在美国,你想进入 本地的新闻业务。
96It's very difficult if you have a foreign accent有外国口音就很难
97It's a lot easier in national news, but certainly in local news.在全国性新闻中,这要容易得多,但肯定在地方新闻中.
98It's a lot harder难得多
99So they said no and I decided I wasn't gonna take no for an answer所以他们说不,我决定不接受拒绝
100so I basically called in sick to work and I paid my roommate my housemate a few hundred dollars, whatever and所以我基本上请病假工作 我付我室友几百美元,随便...
101And and they helped me他们帮助了我
102They helped film me around Los Angeles sort of acting like a reporter.他们帮我在洛杉矶周围拍电影 表现得像个记者
103I studied reporters inside out我在里面学习过记者
104I studied everything that they did inside out and I put together various packages, which is sort of voiced over pieces that I learnt我研究了他们在里面所做的一切, 我整理了各种包裹, 这些包裹是用我学到的碎片表达的
105Basically from studying various reporters and I sent it to this news station hoping that they would give me a chance基本上从学习各种记者,我把它送到这个新闻站,希望他们给我一个机会。
106Unfortunately, a lot of these news stations received thousands of applications thousands of tapes不幸的是,很多这些新闻台收到了数千份申请 成千上万的录音带
107So it took them several months to get back to me and during that time the recession kicked in and I lost my job所以他们花了几个月才回到我身边 在那段时间里 经济衰退让我失业了
108So there I was no money no job所以我没有钱,没有工作
109So I decided anyway that I was gonna move to New York and just hope that this one station would get back to me所以我决定,无论如何,我要去 搬到纽约,只是希望 这个站会回来给我
110So eventually after emailing and pestering constantly they eventually got back to me所以最终在不断发邮件和纠缠之后 他们终于回到我身边了
111They brought me in for an interview and they were so impressed that even though I had no experience that I put together this他们带我来面试 他们印象深刻 虽然我没有经验
112Tape by myself showing what I could do that they hired me on the spot自己录影带 展示我能做的 他们当场雇我
113So thank you.谢谢
114So that's why I say I say trust your struggle所以我才说相信你们的斗争
115The second thing I believe and this sort of comes out of left field is I honestly do not believe in competition我所相信的第二件事 和这种 出自左外野 是我真的不相信竞争
116The corporate world will tell you that if you want to get ahead in life企业世界会告诉你 如果你想在生活中领先
117You need to be competitive you need to have that drive to succeed and compete with one another你需要有竞争力,你需要有 驱动成功和相互竞争
118But I don't believe in competing for what I want I believe in creating what I want但我不相信竞争我想要的 我相信创造我想要的
119Abraham Lincoln once said that the best way to predict the future is to create it in order for me to be successful亚伯拉罕·林肯曾经说过 预测未来的最佳方式 就是创造未来 让我成功
120I don't believe that I need to take anything away from anyone else now, of course, you know我相信我现在不需要从别人那里夺走任何东西 当然,你知道的
121There are some advantages to looking at your peers for inspiration看你的同龄人来取灵感有一定好处
122Definitely, but I think that having a competitive spirit having that need for one-upmanship and comparing yourself to other people again and again当然,但我觉得,有 竞争精神 需要一举一动, 并比较自己 与其他人一次又一次
123Can actually bring out fears and insecurities that end up holding you back能够带来恐惧和不安全感 最终拖住你
124so when I was when I was interviewing for a所以当我在面试的时候
125another position in CNN the anchor job, I was sort of sat next to a girl who I was competing for the same job with and在CNN的另外一个职位,主播工作, 我有点坐在旁边 一个女孩,我竞争 同一工作,
126Rather than sort of not wish her well而不是不祝她好运
127I sat with her for hours and I helped her I showed her what she could improve upon我陪了她好几个小时,帮了她 我给她看了她能改进的东西
128So she had just to get a chance of getting the job as I did所以她要像我一样得到一份工作
129I went in for the screen test first I came out and I told her everything they asked me and how she should prepare我走进屏幕测试 我出来,我告诉她一切 他们问我,她应该如何准备
130So I don't believe in competition.所以我不相信竞争
131I believe in creating what I want.我相信创造我想要的。
132I don't believe in competing for what's already been created我不相信竞争已经创造的东西
133The third thing I honestly believe is to give我真心相信的第三件事就是给
134Because it has been it has become abundantly clear to me in life that the more you give the more you receive I因为在生活中,我非常清楚 你付出的越多
135Learned this lesson from a woman named Kat Cole who I interviewed for a story for CNN.从一个叫Kat Cole的女人身上学到了这个教训 我为CNN采访了一个故事
136She's a corporate CEO and她是公司首席执行官
137She started her career as a waitress at Hooters.她开始了在Hooters的女服务员生涯.
138Now, I don't know现在,我不知道
139I'm not sure you guys love but I'm not sure people know what who does I don't know if you have who does in England我不确定你们爱谁 但我不确定人们知道谁做什么 我不知道你们在英国有谁
140But it's a it's a restaurant chain in America where the waitress is a very scantily clad但它是一个餐厅链 在美国,服务员是一个非常微弱的
141That's how she started off and I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment她就是这样开始的,我好奇 从那种环境的转变
142Especially because she grew up poor and her mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and特别是因为她长大后很穷 她母亲每周存十块钱做首席执行官
143Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉
144So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well paid所以她说她不知道有钱是什么感觉 尽管她薪水很高
145Because she still gives most of her money away to this day因为今天她还把大部分钱都还了
146Because it was clear to her that the more you give in life the more you receive因为她很清楚你付出的越多 你得到的越多
147so this had a pretty deep impact on me because I've interviewed a lot of CEOs for CNN and I've interviewed a lot of所以这对我影响很大 因为我为CNN采访了很多CEO
148Founders for tech startups some of whom have made millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars科技创业的创始人 其中一些已经赚了数百万甚至几亿美元
149And usually what they say is you want to be successful you need to network通常他们说你想成功 你需要联网
150You've got to have a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well你必须有一个品牌 你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议
151But certainly the moral of her story was that the more you give the more you receive and I can tell you that但肯定的道德 她的故事是, 你给予的越多 你得到的,我可以告诉你
152I've tried it I've tested it and I don't necessarily believe in giving just to receive but she is right我试过了,我试过了 我不一定相信只为了接受,但她是对的
153The more you give the more you receive and the last thing I'm gonna say你付出的越多 你得到的越多 我要说的最后一件事
154It is loosely related to hard work.它与辛勤工作关系松散。
155And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调
156I'd heard it so many times growing up and that is success comes when opportunity meets preparation我听过很多次了,长大了 机会满足了准备,成功就来了
157I'd heard that so many times.我听过很多次了
158I thought it was a cliche我以为是陈词滥调
159I never really paid attention to it only now do I realize how true that really is.我从来没有真正关注它 直到现在,我意识到 这是多真实的。
160I'll give you an example我举个例子
161So when I was in local news in New York, I really wanted to work my way up to get into national news所以当我在纽约的地方新闻里, 我真的想努力去了解国家新闻
162I'd always wanted to work for CNN since I was a teenager and I realized after studying different reporters and how they made it我少年时就一直想为CNN工作 我研究了不同的记者 以及他们是如何做到的
163I realized that it was crucial for me to have a specialty some sort of expertise something that I could do我意识到 拥有某种专长 对我很重要 我能做到的
164better than others比别人好
165I guess and我想还有
166So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter and I was very passionate about business news从体育记者到政治记者或商业记者 我对商业新闻很感兴趣
167So while I was working in local news所以当我在本地新闻工作时
168I decided to study and teach myself business news我决定学习和教自己商业新闻
169Not necessarily because there was an opportunity coming my way or there was an interview that I was preparing for不一定是因为我有机会过来 或者我正准备面试
170But because I trusted that one day an opportunity would have come and I needed to be ready但因为我相信 总有一天机会会降临 我需要准备好
171So every weekend I went to the library one weekend所以每个周末我都去图书馆一个周末
172I'd be I'd start I study stocks the next weekend我下个周末开始学习股票
173I'd study bonds the next weekend derivatives the next weekend mergers and acquisitions teaching myself我将学习债券 下一个周末衍生 下周末合并和收购
174The librarians on 33rd and Madison in New York got to know me very well because oftentimes I'd be the last person to leave纽约33街和麦迪逊街的图书管理员都非常了解我 因为经常我会是最后一个离开的人
175So after doing that for a few years eventually by pure chance几年之后 最终是偶然的
176I happened to meet an executive at CNN and I asked him which department he worked in我碰巧在有线电视新闻网遇到一个高管 我问他在哪部门工作
177He said he ran the business news unit and he was looking for a reporter他说他经营商业新闻股 他在找记者
178So when I met him he gave me about two weeks to come in for a screen test and also for a financial所以当我见到他时 他给了我大约两周的时间 来做一个屏幕测试 还有一个财务测试
179News test as well还有新闻测试
180So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备
181But in my mind I knew in my heart that I had been preparing for years但我心里知道 我准备多年
182So this is a lesson as well that I'd learnt from my older brother这也是我从哥哥那里学到的教训
183Some of you have already approached me about him, but my older brother is an actor你们中有些人已经找过我,但我哥哥是个演员
184And he starred in a movie that came out this time last year called 12 years a slave他主演了一部电影 这部电影在去年的这个时候 被称为12年奴隶
185He was nominated for an Oscar for best actor and I'd learnt this lesson from him他被提名奥斯卡最佳演员 我从他那里学到了这个教训
186He is a master preparer他是主编
187When he was 13 years old, he would lock himself in his room and write Shakespeare on the walls and当他13岁时,他会把自己锁在房间里 并在墙上写莎士比亚
188He would study and memorize various plays from measure for measure 12th night Richard the third他将学习和记住各种戏剧 从量度 12 夜理查德第三
189Not because he had an audition coming up不是因为他的试镜即将到来
190But just in case in a few years an audition came his way.但几年后 试镜就来了
191He wanted to be ready他想做好准备
192It didn't matter how many times he had to do it他必须做多少次不重要
193He did it again and again and again until he got it, right他一次又一次的做 直到他得到了它,对不对?
194most people wait until大多数人等待到
195They get the call for a job interview before they begin to prepare or they wait until they get the call for an audition在他们开始准备之前 他们接到面试电话 或者等到他们接到面试电话
196Because before they begin to rehearse, but my brother taught me to prepare well before you get that call在他们开始排练之前 我哥哥教我在接到电话之前好好准备
197So to sum up I truly believe in trusting your struggle所以,总结一下,我真的相信 信任你的斗争
198Knowing that the hardships you go through will somehow end up being for your own benefit知道你所经历的艰难将不知何故 最终是为了你自己的利益
199I also believe in turning a blind eye to competition我也相信对竞争视而不见
200I believe in giving and I believe in trusting and knowing that your opportunity will one day come我相信付出,相信信任 并知道你的机会终将降临
201You just have to be ready.你只需要准备好。

37My mother sent me to live in Nigeria by myself with my grandmother when I came back我回来的时候 我母亲让我一个人 和奶奶一起住在尼日利亚
38She decided that you know in life if you want to be successful她决定,如果你想成功,你就会知道

44deliberately because my mother felt that故意因为我妈妈觉得
45If you want to make it in life, you need to be able to relate to everybody如果你想在生活中做到, 你必须能够与每个人联系
46So when I was 16, I have a strict Nigerian mother, but when I was 16所以当我16岁,我有一个严格的尼日利亚母亲, 但当我16岁

48How can I guarantee that my child is gonna get into Oxford?我怎么能保证我的孩子会进入牛津大学?
49What can I do to make that happen and我该怎么做才能实现
50She thought about it for a few days and she came up to me with a proposal and she said她想了几天 她向我求婚说
51That she was gonna ban me from watching any television for 18 months她要禁止我看18个月的电视
52So I was only allowed to watch BBC and CNN International if I wanted to watch anything else所以我只能看英国广播公司 和CNN国际台的节目

66As I mentioned就像我说的
67Especially after having gone to Oxford and I went to grad school as well in New York, Columbia特别是我和牛津大学毕业后 也在纽约哥伦比亚大学
68I really believed up until that point that hard work was the key to being successful and now I realized there's a lot more to直到那时,我一直相信 辛勤工作是成功的关键 现在我意识到还有很多事情要做
69The story I'm gonna share with you what I think is more to the story我要和你们分享的故事 我认为更多的故事

73So I mentioned that for four and a half years ago所以我在四年半前提到过
74I was working as a receptionist and I was in a production company in California and I was the receptionist我在加州的一家生产公司做接待员 我是接待员
75I really wanted to sort of move up within the company and no matter how hard I worked我真的想在公司里走动 不管我多努力

80I'm sure anyone who's been through that knows how that can be and我敢肯定,任何经历过的人 谁知道如何是和
81Because I was the receptionist因为我是接待员
82It was my job to serve water to the people who are coming in to interview for the job that I wanted我的工作是给那些来面试的人 送水给我
83I knowи笵
84It was it wasn't easy and so I didn't really necessarily feel good about myself because of that and I did some soul-searching事情并不容易,所以我对我自己 不一定感觉很好,因为我做了一些灵魂的探索
85And I asked myself.我问自己。
86Okay.摆
87Well, what do you really want to do in life?好吧,你到底想做什么 在生活中吗?
88Because clearly this is probably not meant for you因为很明显这可能不是针对你的
89What do you really want to do and I'd always been passionate about broadcast journalism你真正想做什么 而我一直热衷于广播新闻
90So I called a television station in New York a local news station and I asked them所以我打电话给纽约的一家电视台 一个地方新闻站,我问他们
91What do I need to do to get a job with you guys?我要怎么做才能和你们一起工作?
92So unfortunately, I didn't have any experience很不幸,我没有经验

94Answering phones and sending faxes.接电话和传真
95That's all I really knew how to do我只知道该怎么做
96And so they said no repeatedly to me and on top of that所以他们不重复地对我说 并且在那之外
97I had a British accent and in America you want to get into the local news business我有一个英国口音 在美国,你想进入 本地的新闻业务
98It's very difficult if you have a foreign accent.如果你有外国口音,那就很难了.
99It's a lot easier in national news, but certainly in local news.在全国性新闻中,这要容易得多,但肯定在地方新闻中.
100It's a lot harder难得多
101So they said no and I decided I wasn't going to take no for an answer所以他们说不,我决定我不会接受拒绝的回答
102So I basically called in sick to work and I paid my roommate my housemate a few hundred dollars所以我基本上请病假工作 我付我室友几百美元
103whatever and随便你
104And and they helped me他们帮助了我
105Help film me around Los Angeles sort of acting like a reporter.帮我在洛杉矶周围拍片 表现得像个记者
106I studied reporters inside out我在里面学习过记者
107I studied everything that they did inside out and I put together various packages, which is sort of voiced over pieces that I learnt我研究了他们在里面所做的一切, 我整理了各种包裹, 这些包裹是用我学到的碎片表达的
108Basically from studying various reporters and I sent it to this news station hoping that they would give me a chance基本上从学习各种记者,我把它送到这个新闻站,希望他们给我一个机会。
109Unfortunately, a lot of these news stations received thousands of applications thousands of tapes不幸的是,很多这些新闻台收到了数千份申请 成千上万的录音带
110So it took them several months to get back to me and during that time the recession kicked in and I lost my job所以他们花了几个月才回到我身边 在那段时间里 经济衰退让我失业了
111So there I was no money no job所以我没有钱,没有工作
112So I decided anyway that I was gonna move to New York and just hope that this one station would get back to me所以我决定,无论如何,我要去 搬到纽约,只是希望 这个站会回来给我
113So eventually after emailing and pestering constantly they eventually got back to me所以最终在不断发邮件和纠缠之后 他们终于回到我身边了

116Showing what I could do that they hired me on the spot显示我能做的 他们雇用我当场
117So, thank you.所以,谢谢你。
118So that's why I say I say trust your struggle所以我才说相信你们的斗争
119The second thing I believe and this sort of comes out of left field is I honestly do not believe in competition我所相信的第二件事 和这种 出自左外野 是我真的不相信竞争
120The corporate world will tell you that if you want to get ahead in life, you need to be competitive企业世界会告诉你, 如果你想在生活中领先, 你需要有竞争力
121You need to have that drive to succeed and compete with one another你必须要有这种动力才能成功 才能互相竞争
122But I don't believe in competing for what I want但是,我不相信竞争我想要的
123I believe in creating what I want我相信创造我想要的东西
124Abraham Lincoln once said that the best way to predict the future is to create it in order for me to be successful亚伯拉罕·林肯曾经说过 预测未来的最佳方式 就是创造未来 让我成功
125I don't believe that I need to take anything away from anyone else now, of course我当然认为我不需要从别人那里夺走任何东西
126You know, there are some advantages to looking at your peers for inspiration你知道,有一些好处 看你的同伴的灵感
127Definitely, but I think that having a competitive spirit having that need for one-upmanship and comparing yourself to other people again当然,但我觉得有种竞争精神 需要一举一动 并且再次把自己和别人相比
128And again can actually bring out fears and insecurities that end up holding you back还会再次带来恐惧和不安全感 最终会阻碍你
129so when I was when I was interviewing for a所以当我在面试的时候
130another position in CNN the anchor job, I was sort of sat next to a girl who I was competing for the same job with and在CNN的另外一个职位,主播工作, 我有点坐在旁边 一个女孩,我竞争 同一工作,
131Rather than sort of not wish her well而不是不祝她好运
132I sat with her for hours and I helped her I showed her what she could improve upon我陪了她好几个小时,帮了她 我给她看了她能改进的东西
133So she had just a good a chance of getting the job as I did所以,她只是有一个很好的机会 得到这份工作像我一样
134I went in for the screen test first.我先进去做屏幕测试的
135I came out and I told her everything they asked me and how she should prepare我出来了,我告诉她一切 他们问我,她应该如何准备
136So I don't believe in competition.所以我不相信竞争
137I believe in creating what I want.我相信创造我想要的。
138I don't believe in competing for what's already been created我不相信竞争已经创造的东西
139The third thing I honestly believe is to give我真心相信的第三件事就是给
140Because it has been it has become abundantly clear to me in life that the more you give the more you receive.因为在生活中你付出的越多 你得到的越多
141I一、导 言
142Learned this lesson from a woman named Kat Cole who I interviewed for a story for CNN.从一个叫Kat Cole的女人身上学到了这个教训 我为CNN采访了一个故事
143She's a corporate CEO and她是公司首席执行官
144She started her career as a waitress at Hooters now她现在开始在Hooters当服务员
145I don't know我不知道,你觉得呢?
146I'm not sure you guys laugh, but I'm not sure people know what Hooters我不知道你们笑什么 但我不确定人们知道什么是Hooters
147I don't know if you have Hooters in England我不知道你在英国有没有Hooters
148but it's a it's a restaurant chain in America where the the waitress is a very scantily plait and that's how she started off and但它是一个餐厅链 在美国,服务员是一个非常微薄的格子, 这就是她是如何开始的,
149I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment, especially because she grew up poor and her我对摆脱这种环境感到好奇 尤其是因为她从小就贫穷
150mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and妈妈每周存十块钱做首席执行官
151Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉
152So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well-paid所以她说她不知道有钱的感觉 虽然她薪水很高
153Because she still gives most of her money away to this day because it was clear to her that the more you give in life因为她今天还把大部分钱都给了她 因为她很清楚你付出的越多
154The more you receive你得到的越多
155So this had a pretty deep impact on me because I've interviewed a lot of CEOs for CNN所以这对我影响很大 因为我采访了CNN的许多CEO
156And I've interviewed a lot of founders for tech startups some of whom have made我采访了许多科技创业的创始人 其中一些人
157millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars and usually what they say is you want to be successful you need to network you've got数百万美元,如果不是数亿美元 通常他们说,你想成功 你需要网络 你已经有了
158a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well一个品牌,你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议
159but certainly the moral of her story was that the more you give the more you receive and I can tell you that I've但是她的故事的道德是 你付出的越多 我就能告诉你
160Tried it I've tested it and I don't necessarily believe in giving just to receive but she is right试过了,我试过了 我不一定相信只为了接受她
161The more you give the more you receive and the last thing I'm going to say it is loosely related to hard work你给的越多,我最后要说的 和辛勤工作的关系就越大
162And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调
163I'd heard it so many times growing up and that is success comes when opportunity meets preparation我听过很多次了,长大了 机会满足了准备,成功就来了
164I'd heard that so many times.我听过很多次了
165I thought it was a cliche我以为是陈词滥调
166I never really paid attention to it only now do I realize how true that really is.我从来没有真正关注它 直到现在,我意识到 这是多真实的。
167I'll give you an example我举个例子
168So when I was in local news in New York, I really wanted to work my way up to get into national news所以当我在纽约的地方新闻里, 我真的想努力去了解国家新闻
169I'd always wanted to work for CNN since I was a teenager and I realized after studying different reporters and how they made it我少年时就一直想为CNN工作 我研究了不同的记者 以及他们是如何做到的
170I realized that it was crucial for me to have a specialty some sort of expertise something that I could do better than others我意识到,关键是拥有一种专长 某种我比别人更好的专长
171I guess and我想还有
172So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter所以从体育记者到政治记者 或商业记者都一样
173And I was very passionate about business news我非常热衷于商业新闻
174So while I was working in local news所以当我在本地新闻工作时
175I decided to study and teach myself business news not necessarily because我决定学习和教导自己 商业新闻并不一定因为
176There was an opportunity coming my way or there was an interview that I was preparing for有一个机会,我走过来 或有一个采访 我准备
177Because I trusted that one day an opportunity would have come and I needed to be ready因为我相信 总有一天机会会降临 我需要准备好
178So every weekend I went to the library one weekend.所以每个周末我都去图书馆一个周末。
179I'd be I'd start I study stocks the next weekend我下个周末开始学习股票
180I'd study bonds the next weekend derivatives the next weekend我会在下周末学习债券衍生工具
181Mergers and acquisitions teaching myself and in fact the librarians on 33rd and Madison in New York got to know me very well合并和收购 教给我自己 事实上 33街和纽约麦迪逊的图书管理员
182Because oftentimes I'd be the last person to leave因为经常我会是最后一个离开的人
183So after doing that for a few years eventually by pure chance几年之后 最终是偶然的
184I happened to meet an executive at CNN and I asked him which department he worked in我碰巧在有线电视新闻网遇到一个高管 我问他在哪部门工作
185He said he ran the business news unit and he was looking for a reporter他说他经营商业新闻股 他在找记者
186So when I met him he gave me about two weeks to come in for a screen test and also for a financial news test所以当我见到他的时候 他给了我大约两周时间 来做一个屏幕测试 以及金融新闻测试
187as well还有
188So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备
189But in my mind I knew in my heart I had been preparing for years但我心里知道 我准备多年
190So this is a lesson as well that I'd learnt from my older brother这也是我从哥哥那里学到的教训
191Some of you have already approached me about him, but my older brother is an actor你们中有些人已经找过我,但我哥哥是个演员
192And he starred in a movie that came out this time last year called 12 years a slave他主演了一部电影 这部电影在去年的这个时候 被称为12年奴隶
193He was nominated for an Oscar for best actor and I'd learnt this lesson from him.他被提名奥斯卡最佳演员 我从他身上学到了这个教训
194He is a master preparer他是主编
195When he was 13 years old he would lock himself in his room and write Shakespeare on the walls and当他13岁时,他会把自己锁在房间里,在墙上写莎士比亚
196He would study and memorize various plays from measure for measure 12th night Richard the third他将学习和记住各种戏剧 从量度 12 夜理查德第三
197Not because he had an audition coming up不是因为他的试镜即将到来
198But just in case in a few years an audition came his way.但几年后 试镜就来了
199He wanted to be ready他想做好准备
200It didn't matter how many times he had to do it.虽复不思议他多少次.
201He did it again and again and again until he got it, right他一次又一次的做 直到他得到了它,对不对?
202most people wait until大多数人等待到
203They get the call for a job interview before they begin to prepare or they wait until they get the call for an audition在他们开始准备之前 他们接到面试电话 或者等到他们接到面试电话
204Because before they begin to rehearse, but my brother taught me to prepare well before you get that call在他们开始排练之前 我哥哥教我在接到电话之前好好准备
205So to sum up I truly believe in trusting your struggle所以,总结一下,我真的相信 信任你的斗争
206Knowing that the hardships you go through will somehow end up being for your own benefit知道你所经历的艰难将不知何故 最终是为了你自己的利益
207I also believe in turning a blind eye我也相信要视而不见
208to competition I believe in giving and I believe in竞争,我相信给予,我相信
209Trusting and knowing that your opportunity will one day come you just have to be ready.相信和知道你的机会终有一天会来临 你只需要准备好

74I really wanted to sort of move up within the company and no matter how hard I worked我真的想在公司里走动 不管我多努力

77Promote me it never happened and in fact升我它从来没有发生过,事实上
78For the position I wanted they began looking for external candidates.为了我想要的职位,他们开始寻找外部候选人。
79I'm sure anyone who's been through that knows how that can be and我敢肯定,任何经历过的人 谁知道如何是和
80Because I was the receptionist因为我是接待员
81It was my job to serve water to the people who are coming in to interview for the job that I wanted我的工作是给那些来面试的人 送水给我
82I knowи笵
83It was it wasn't easy and so I didn't really necessarily feel good about myself because of that and I did some soul-searching事情并不容易,所以我对我自己 不一定感觉很好,因为我做了一些灵魂的探索
84And I asked myself.我问自己。
85Okay.摆

87This is probably not meant for you, what do you really want to do and I'd always been passionate about broadcast journalism这对你可能不合适,你到底想做什么 而我一直热衷于广播新闻
88So I called a television station in New York a local news station and I asked them所以我打电话给纽约的一家电视台 一个地方新闻站,我问他们
89What do I need to do to get a job with you guys?我要怎么做才能和你们一起工作?
90So unfortunately, I didn't have any experience很不幸,我没有经验
91They needed about two or three years previous experience as a reporter and all I the only experience I really had was他们需要两三年前的记者经历 而我唯一真正经历的是
92Answering phones and sending faxes.接电话和传真
93That's all I really knew how to do我只知道该怎么做
94And so they said no repeatedly to me and on top of that I had a British accent所以他们不重复地对我说 而且我有英国口音
95And in America you want to get into the local news business.而在美国,你想进入 本地的新闻业务。
96It's very difficult if you have a foreign accent有外国口音就很难
97It's a lot easier in national news, but certainly in local news.在全国性新闻中,这要容易得多,但肯定在地方新闻中.
98It's a lot harder难得多
99So they said no and I decided I wasn't gonna take no for an answer所以他们说不,我决定不接受拒绝
100so I basically called in sick to work and I paid my roommate my housemate a few hundred dollars, whatever and所以我基本上请病假工作 我付我室友几百美元,随便...
101And and they helped me他们帮助了我
102They helped film me around Los Angeles sort of acting like a reporter.他们帮我在洛杉矶周围拍电影 表现得像个记者
103I studied reporters inside out我在里面学习过记者
104I studied everything that they did inside out and I put together various packages, which is sort of voiced over pieces that I learnt我研究了他们在里面所做的一切, 我整理了各种包裹, 这些包裹是用我学到的碎片表达的
105Basically from studying various reporters and I sent it to this news station hoping that they would give me a chance基本上从学习各种记者,我把它送到这个新闻站,希望他们给我一个机会。
106Unfortunately, a lot of these news stations received thousands of applications thousands of tapes不幸的是,很多这些新闻台收到了数千份申请 成千上万的录音带
107So it took them several months to get back to me and during that time the recession kicked in and I lost my job所以他们花了几个月才回到我身边 在那段时间里 经济衰退让我失业了
108So there I was no money no job所以我没有钱,没有工作
109So I decided anyway that I was gonna move to New York and just hope that this one station would get back to me所以我决定,无论如何,我要去 搬到纽约,只是希望 这个站会回来给我
110So eventually after emailing and pestering constantly they eventually got back to me所以最终在不断发邮件和纠缠之后 他们终于回到我身边了
111They brought me in for an interview and they were so impressed that even though I had no experience that I put together this他们带我来面试 他们印象深刻 虽然我没有经验
112Tape by myself showing what I could do that they hired me on the spot自己录影带 展示我能做的 他们当场雇我
113So thank you.谢谢
114So that's why I say I say trust your struggle所以我才说相信你们的斗争
115The second thing I believe and this sort of comes out of left field is I honestly do not believe in competition我所相信的第二件事 和这种 出自左外野 是我真的不相信竞争
116The corporate world will tell you that if you want to get ahead in life企业世界会告诉你 如果你想在生活中领先
117You need to be competitive you need to have that drive to succeed and compete with one another你需要有竞争力,你需要有 驱动成功和相互竞争
118But I don't believe in competing for what I want I believe in creating what I want但我不相信竞争我想要的 我相信创造我想要的
119Abraham Lincoln once said that the best way to predict the future is to create it in order for me to be successful亚伯拉罕·林肯曾经说过 预测未来的最佳方式 就是创造未来 让我成功
120I don't believe that I need to take anything away from anyone else now, of course, you know我相信我现在不需要从别人那里夺走任何东西 当然,你知道的
121There are some advantages to looking at your peers for inspiration看你的同龄人来取灵感有一定好处
122Definitely, but I think that having a competitive spirit having that need for one-upmanship and comparing yourself to other people again and again当然,但我觉得,有 竞争精神 需要一举一动, 并比较自己 与其他人一次又一次
123Can actually bring out fears and insecurities that end up holding you back能够带来恐惧和不安全感 最终拖住你
124so when I was when I was interviewing for a所以当我在面试的时候
125another position in CNN the anchor job, I was sort of sat next to a girl who I was competing for the same job with and在CNN的另外一个职位,主播工作, 我有点坐在旁边 一个女孩,我竞争 同一工作,
126Rather than sort of not wish her well而不是不祝她好运
127I sat with her for hours and I helped her I showed her what she could improve upon我陪了她好几个小时,帮了她 我给她看了她能改进的东西
128So she had just to get a chance of getting the job as I did所以她要像我一样得到一份工作
129I went in for the screen test first I came out and I told her everything they asked me and how she should prepare我走进屏幕测试 我出来,我告诉她一切 他们问我,她应该如何准备
130So I don't believe in competition.所以我不相信竞争
131I believe in creating what I want.我相信创造我想要的。
132I don't believe in competing for what's already been created我不相信竞争已经创造的东西
133The third thing I honestly believe is to give我真心相信的第三件事就是给
134Because it has been it has become abundantly clear to me in life that the more you give the more you receive I因为在生活中,我非常清楚 你付出的越多
135Learned this lesson from a woman named Kat Cole who I interviewed for a story for CNN.从一个叫Kat Cole的女人身上学到了这个教训 我为CNN采访了一个故事
136She's a corporate CEO and她是公司首席执行官
137She started her career as a waitress at Hooters.她开始了在Hooters的女服务员生涯.
138Now, I don't know现在,我不知道
139I'm not sure you guys love but I'm not sure people know what who does I don't know if you have who does in England我不确定你们爱谁 但我不确定人们知道谁做什么 我不知道你们在英国有谁
140But it's a it's a restaurant chain in America where the waitress is a very scantily clad但它是一个餐厅链 在美国,服务员是一个非常微弱的
141That's how she started off and I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment她就是这样开始的,我好奇 从那种环境的转变
142Especially because she grew up poor and her mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and特别是因为她长大后很穷 她母亲每周存十块钱做首席执行官
143Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉
144So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well paid所以她说她不知道有钱是什么感觉 尽管她薪水很高
145Because she still gives most of her money away to this day因为今天她还把大部分钱都还了
146Because it was clear to her that the more you give in life the more you receive因为她很清楚你付出的越多 你得到的越多
147so this had a pretty deep impact on me because I've interviewed a lot of CEOs for CNN and I've interviewed a lot of所以这对我影响很大 因为我为CNN采访了很多CEO
148Founders for tech startups some of whom have made millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars科技创业的创始人 其中一些已经赚了数百万甚至几亿美元
149And usually what they say is you want to be successful you need to network通常他们说你想成功 你需要联网
150You've got to have a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well你必须有一个品牌 你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议
151But certainly the moral of her story was that the more you give the more you receive and I can tell you that但肯定的道德 她的故事是, 你给予的越多 你得到的,我可以告诉你
152I've tried it I've tested it and I don't necessarily believe in giving just to receive but she is right我试过了,我试过了 我不一定相信只为了接受,但她是对的
153The more you give the more you receive and the last thing I'm gonna say你付出的越多 你得到的越多 我要说的最后一件事
154It is loosely related to hard work.它与辛勤工作关系松散。
155And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调
156I'd heard it so many times growing up and that is success comes when opportunity meets preparation我听过很多次了,长大了 机会满足了准备,成功就来了
157I'd heard that so many times.我听过很多次了
158I thought it was a cliche我以为是陈词滥调
159I never really paid attention to it only now do I realize how true that really is.我从来没有真正关注它 直到现在,我意识到 这是多真实的。
160I'll give you an example我举个例子
161So when I was in local news in New York, I really wanted to work my way up to get into national news所以当我在纽约的地方新闻里, 我真的想努力去了解国家新闻
162I'd always wanted to work for CNN since I was a teenager and I realized after studying different reporters and how they made it我少年时就一直想为CNN工作 我研究了不同的记者 以及他们是如何做到的
163I realized that it was crucial for me to have a specialty some sort of expertise something that I could do我意识到 拥有某种专长 对我很重要 我能做到的
164better than others比别人好
165I guess and我想还有
166So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter and I was very passionate about business news从体育记者到政治记者或商业记者 我对商业新闻很感兴趣
167So while I was working in local news所以当我在本地新闻工作时
168I decided to study and teach myself business news我决定学习和教自己商业新闻
169Not necessarily because there was an opportunity coming my way or there was an interview that I was preparing for不一定是因为我有机会过来 或者我正准备面试
170But because I trusted that one day an opportunity would have come and I needed to be ready但因为我相信 总有一天机会会降临 我需要准备好
171So every weekend I went to the library one weekend所以每个周末我都去图书馆一个周末
172I'd be I'd start I study stocks the next weekend我下个周末开始学习股票
173I'd study bonds the next weekend derivatives the next weekend mergers and acquisitions teaching myself我将学习债券 下一个周末衍生 下周末合并和收购
174The librarians on 33rd and Madison in New York got to know me very well because oftentimes I'd be the last person to leave纽约33街和麦迪逊街的图书管理员都非常了解我 因为经常我会是最后一个离开的人
175So after doing that for a few years eventually by pure chance几年之后 最终是偶然的
176I happened to meet an executive at CNN and I asked him which department he worked in我碰巧在有线电视新闻网遇到一个高管 我问他在哪部门工作
177He said he ran the business news unit and he was looking for a reporter他说他经营商业新闻股 他在找记者
178So when I met him he gave me about two weeks to come in for a screen test and also for a financial所以当我见到他时 他给了我大约两周的时间 来做一个屏幕测试 还有一个财务测试
179News test as well还有新闻测试
180So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备
181But in my mind I knew in my heart that I had been preparing for years但我心里知道 我准备多年
182So this is a lesson as well that I'd learnt from my older brother这也是我从哥哥那里学到的教训
183Some of you have already approached me about him, but my older brother is an actor你们中有些人已经找过我,但我哥哥是个演员
184And he starred in a movie that came out this time last year called 12 years a slave他主演了一部电影 这部电影在去年的这个时候 被称为12年奴隶
185He was nominated for an Oscar for best actor and I'd learnt this lesson from him他被提名奥斯卡最佳演员 我从他那里学到了这个教训
186He is a master preparer他是主编
187When he was 13 years old, he would lock himself in his room and write Shakespeare on the walls and当他13岁时,他会把自己锁在房间里 并在墙上写莎士比亚
188He would study and memorize various plays from measure for measure 12th night Richard the third他将学习和记住各种戏剧 从量度 12 夜理查德第三
189Not because he had an audition coming up不是因为他的试镜即将到来
190But just in case in a few years an audition came his way.但几年后 试镜就来了
191He wanted to be ready他想做好准备
192It didn't matter how many times he had to do it他必须做多少次不重要
193He did it again and again and again until he got it, right他一次又一次的做 直到他得到了它,对不对?
194most people wait until大多数人等待到
195They get the call for a job interview before they begin to prepare or they wait until they get the call for an audition在他们开始准备之前 他们接到面试电话 或者等到他们接到面试电话
196Because before they begin to rehearse, but my brother taught me to prepare well before you get that call在他们开始排练之前 我哥哥教我在接到电话之前好好准备
197So to sum up I truly believe in trusting your struggle所以,总结一下,我真的相信 信任你的斗争
198Knowing that the hardships you go through will somehow end up being for your own benefit知道你所经历的艰难将不知何故 最终是为了你自己的利益
199I also believe in turning a blind eye to competition我也相信对竞争视而不见
200I believe in giving and I believe in trusting and knowing that your opportunity will one day come我相信付出,相信信任 并知道你的机会终将降临
201You just have to be ready.你只需要准备好。
