拥抱他人,拥抱自己

embracingotherness.whenifirstheardthistheme,ithought,well,embracingothernessisembracingmyself.andthejourneytothatplaceofunderstandingandacceptancehasbeenaninterestingoneforme,andit'sgivenmeaninsightintothewholenotionofself,whichithinkisworthsharingwithyoutoday.

拥抱他类。当我第一次听说这个主题时,我心想,拥抱他类不就是拥抱自己吗。我个人懂得理解和接受他类的经历很有趣,让我对于“自己”这个词也有了新的认识,我想今天在这里和你们分享下我的心得体会。

weeachhaveaself,butidon'tthinkthatwe'rebornwithone.youknowhownewbornbabiesbelievethey'repartofeverything;they'renotseparate?wellthatfundamentalsenseofonenessislostonusveryquickly.it'slikethatinitialstageisover--oneness:infancy,unformed,primitive.it'snolongervalidorreal.whatisrealisseparateness,andatsomepointinearlybabyhood,theideaofselfstartstoform.ourlittleportionofonenessisgivenaname,istoldallkindsofthingsaboutitself,andthesedetails,opinionsandideasbecomefacts,whichgotowardsbuildingourselves,ouridentity.andthatselfbecomesthevehiclefornavigatingoursocialworld.buttheselfisaprojectionbasedonotherpeople'sprojections.isitwhowereallyare?orwhowereallywanttobe,orshouldbe?

我们每个人都有个自我,但并不是生来就如此的。你知道新生的宝宝们觉得他们是任何东西的一部分,而不是分裂的个体。这种本源上的“天人合一”感在我们出生后很快就不见了,就好像我们人生的第一个篇章--和谐统一:婴儿,未成形,原始--结束了。它们似幻似影,而现实的世界是孤独彼此分离的。而在孩童期的某段时间,我们开始形成自我这个观点。宇宙中的小小个体有了自己的名字,有了自己的过去等等各种信息。这些关于自己的细节,看法和观点慢慢变成事实,成为我们身份的一部分。而那个自我,也变成我们人生路上前行的导航仪。然后,这个所谓的自我,是他人自我的映射,还是我们真实的自己呢?我们究竟想成为什么样,应该成为什么样的呢?

sothiswholeinteractionwithselfandidentitywasaverydifficultoneformegrowingup.theselfthatiattemptedtotakeoutintotheworldwasrejectedoverandoveragain.andmypanicatnothavingaselfthatfit,andtheconfusionthatcamefrommyselfbeingrejected,createdan_iety,shameandhopelessness,whichkindofdefinedmeforalongtime.butinretrospect,thedestructionofmyselfwassorepetitivethatistartedtoseeapattern.theselfchanged,gotaffected,broken,destroyed,butanotheronewouldevolve--sometimesstronger,sometimeshateful,sometimesnotwantingtobethereatall.theselfwasnotconstant.andhowmanytimeswouldmyselfhavetodiebeforeirealizedthatitwasneveraliveinthefirstplace?

这个和自我打交道,寻找自己身份的过程在我的成长记忆中一点都不容易。我想成为的那些“自我”不断被否定再否定,而我害怕自己无法融入周遭的环境,因被否定而引起的困惑让我变得更加忧虑,感到羞耻和无望,在很长一段时间就是我存在状态。然而回头看,对自我的解构是那么频繁,以至于我发现了这样一种规律。自我是变化的,受他人影响,分裂或被打败,而另一个自我会产生,这个自我可能更坚强,可能更可憎,有时你也不想变成那样。所谓自我不是固定不变的。而我需要经历多少次自我的破碎重生才会明白其实自我从来没有存在过?

igrewuponthecoastofenglandinthe'70s.mydadiswhitefromcornwall,andmymomisblackfromzimbabwe.eventheideaofusasafamilywaschallengingtomostpeople.butnaturehaditswickedway,andbrownbabieswereborn.butfromabouttheageoffive,iwasawarethatididn'tfit.iwastheblackatheistkidintheall-whitecatholicschoolrunbynuns.iwasananomaly,andmyselfwasrootingaroundfordefinitionandtryingtoplugin.becausetheselflikestofit,toseeitselfreplicated,tobelong.thatconfirmsitse_istenceanditsimportance.anditisimportant.ithasane_tremelyimportantfunction.withoutit,weliterallycan'tinterfacewithothers.wecan'thatchplansandclimbthatstairwayofpopularity,ofsuccess.butmyskincolorwasn'tright.myhairwasn'tright.myhistorywasn'tright.myselfbecamedefinedbyotherness,whichmeantthat,inthatsocialworld,ididn'treallye_ist.andiwas"other"beforebeinganythingelse--evenbeforebeingagirl.iwasanoticeablenobody.

我在70年代英格兰海边长大,我的父亲是康沃尔的白人,母亲是津巴布韦的黑人。而想象我和父母是一家人对于其他人来说总是不太自然。自然有它自己的魔术,棕色皮肤的宝宝诞生了。但从我五岁开始,我就有种感觉我不是这个群体的。我是一个全白人天主教会学校里面黑皮肤无神论小孩。我与他人是不同的,而那个热衷于归属的自我却到处寻找方式寻找归属感。这种认同感让自我感受到存在感和重要性,因此十分重要。这点是如此重要,如果没有自我,我们根本无法与他人沟通。没有它,我们无所适从,无法获取成功或变得受人欢迎。但我的肤色不对,我的头发不对,我的过去不对,我的一切都是另类定义的,在这个社会里,我其实并不真实存在。我首先是个异类,其次才是个女孩。我是可见却毫无意义的人。

anotherworldwasopeninguparoundthistime:performanceanddancing.thatnaggingdreadofself-hooddidn'te_istwheniwasdancing.i'dliterallylosemyself.andiwasareallygooddancer.iwouldputallmyemotionale_pressionintomydancing.icouldbeinthemovementinawaythatiwasn'tabletobeinmyreallife,inmyself.

这时候,另一个世界向我敞开了大门:舞蹈表演。那种关于自我的唠叨恐惧在舞蹈时消失了,我放开四肢,也成为了一位不错的舞者。我将所有的情绪都融入到舞蹈的动作中去,我可以在舞蹈中与自己相溶,尽管在现实生活中却无法做到。

andat16,istumbledacrossanotheropportunity,andiearnedmyfirstactingroleinafilm.icanhardlyfindthewordstodescribethepeaceifeltwheniwasacting.mydysfunctionalselfcouldactuallyplugintoanotherself,notmyown,anditfeltsogood.itwasthefirsttimethatie_istedinsideafully-functioningself--onethaticontrolled,thatisteered,thatigavelifeto.buttheshootingdaywouldend,andi'dreturntomygnarly,awkwardself.

16岁的时候,我遇到了另一个机会,第一部参演的电影。我无法用语言来表达在演戏的时候我所感受到的平和,我无处着落的自我可以与那个角色融为一体,而不是我自己。那感觉真棒。这是第一次我感觉到我拥有一个自我,我可以驾驭,令其富有盛名的自我。然而当拍摄结束,我又会回到自己粗糙不明,笨拙的自我。

by19,iwasafully-fledgedmovieactor,butstillsearchingfordefinition.iappliedtoreadanthropologyatuniversity.dr.phyllisleegavememyinterview,andsheaskedme,"howwouldyoudefinerace?"well,ithoughtihadtheanswertothatone,andisaid,"skincolor.""sobiology,genetics?"shesaid."because,thandie,that'snotaccurate.becausethere'sactuallymoregeneticdifferencebetweenablackkenyanandablackugandanthanthereisbetweenablackkenyanand,say,awhitenorwegian.becauseweallstemfromafrica.soinafrica,there'sbeenmoretimetocreategeneticdiversity."inotherwords,racehasnobasisinbiologicalorscientificfact.ontheonehand,result.right?ontheotherhand,mydefinitionofselfjustlostahugechunkofitscredibility.butwhatwascredible,whatisbiologicalandscientificfact,isthatweallstemfromafrica--infact,fromawomancalledmitochondrialevewholived160,000yearsago.andraceisanillegitimateconceptwhichourselveshavecreatedbasedonfearandignorance.

19岁的时候,我已经是富有经验的专业电影演员,而我还是在寻找自我的定义。我申请了大学的人类学专业。phyllislee博士面试了我,她问我:“你怎么定义种族?”我觉得我很了解这个话题,我说:“肤色。”“那么生物上来说呢,例如遗传基因?”她说,“thandie肤色并不全面,其实一个肯尼亚黑人和乌干达黑人之间基因差异比一个肯尼亚黑人和挪威白人之间差异要更多。因为我们都是从非洲来的,所以在非洲,基因变异演化的时间是最久的。”换句话说,种族在生物学或任何科学上都没有事实根据。另一方面,我对于自我的定义瞬时失去了一大片基础。但那就是生物学事实,我们都是非洲后裔,一位在1600__年前的伟大女性mitochondrialeve的后人。而种族这个无效的概念是我们基于恐惧和无知自己捏造出来的。

strangely,theserevelationsdidn'tcuremylowself-esteem,thatfeelingofotherness.mydesiretodisappearwasstillverypowerful.ihadadegreefromcambridge;ihadathrivingcareer,butmyselfwasacarcrash,andiwoundupwithbulimiaandonatherapist'scouch.andofcourseidid.istillbelievedmyselfwasalliwas.istillvaluedself-worthaboveallotherworth,andwhatwastheretosuggestotherwise?we'vecreatedentirevaluesystemsandaphysicalrealitytosupporttheworthofself.lookattheindustryforself-imageandthejobsitcreates,therevenueitturnsover.we'dberightinassumingthattheselfisanactuallivingthing.butit'snot.it'saprojectionwhichourcleverbrainscreateinordertocheatourselvesfromtherealityofdeath.

奇怪的是,这个发现并没有治好我的自卑,那种被排挤的感觉。我还是那么强烈地想要离开消失。我从剑桥拿到了学位,我有份充满发展的工作,然而我的自我还是一团糟,我得了催吐病不得不接受治疗师的帮助。我还是相信自我是我的全部。我还是坚信“自我”的价值甚过一切。而且我们身处的世界就是如此,我们的整个价值系统和现实环境都是在服务“自我”的价值。看看不同行业里面对于自我的塑造,看看它们创造的那些工作,产出的那些利润。我们甚至必须相信自我是真实存在的。但它们不是,自我不过是我们聪明的脑袋假想出来骗自己不去思考死亡这个话题的幌子。

butthereissomethingthatcangivetheselfultimateandinfiniteconnection--andthatthingisoneness,ouressence.theself'sstruggleforauthenticityanddefinitionwillneverendunlessit'sconnectedtoitscreator--toyouandtome.andthatcanhappenwithawareness--awarenessoftherealityofonenessandtheprojectionofself-hood.forastart,wecanthinkaboutallthetimeswhenwedoloseourselves.ithappenswhenidance,wheni'macting.i'mearthedinmyessence,andmyselfissuspended.inthosemoments,i'mconnectedtoeverything--theground,theair,thesounds,theenergyfromtheaudience.allmysensesarealertandaliveinmuchthesamewayasaninfantmightfeel--thatfeelingofoneness.

但其实我们的终极自我其实是我们的本源,合一。挣扎自我是否真实,究竟是什么永远没有终结,除非它和赋予它意义的创造者合一,就是你和我。而这点当我们意识到现实是你中有我,我中有你,和谐统一,而自我是种假象时就会体会到了。我们可以想想,什么时候我们是身心统一的,例如说我跳舞,表演的时候,我和我的本源连结,而我的自我被抛在一边。那时,我和身边的一切--空气,大地,声音,观众的反馈都连结在一起。我的知觉是敏锐和鲜活的,就像初生的婴儿那样,合一。

andwheni'mactingarole,iinhabitanotherself,andigiveitlifeforawhile,becausewhentheselfissuspendedsoisdivisivenessandjudgment.andi'veplayedeverythingfromavengefulghostinthetimeofslaverytosecretaryofstatein__.andnomatterhowothertheseselvesmightbe,they'reallrelatedinme.andihonestlybelievethekeytomysuccessasanactorandmyprogressasapersonhasbeentheverylackofselfthatusedtomakemefeelsoan_iousandinsecure.ialwayswonderedwhyicouldfeelothers'painsodeeply,whyicouldrecognizethesomebodyinthenobody.it'sbecauseididn'thaveaselftogetintheway.ithoughtilackedsubstance,andthefactthaticouldfeelothers'meantthatihadnothingofmyselftofeel.thethingthatwasasourceofshamewasactuallyasourceofenlightenment.

当我在演戏的时候,我让另一个自我住在我体内,我代表它行动。当我的自我被抛开,紧随的分歧和主观判断也消失了。我曾经扮演过奴隶时代的复仇鬼魂,也扮演过__年的国务卿。不管他们这些自我是怎样的,他们都在那时与我相连。而我也深信作为演员,我的成功,或是作为个体,我的成长都是源于我缺乏“自我”,那种缺乏曾经让我非常忧虑和不安。我总是不明白为什么我会那么深地感受到他人的痛苦,为什么我可以从不知名的人身上看出他人的印痕。是因为我没有所谓的自我来左右我感受的信息吧。我以为我缺少些什么,我以为我对他人的理解是因为我缺乏自我。那个曾经是我深感羞耻的东西其实是种启示。

andwhenirealizedandreallyunderstoodthatmyselfisaprojectionandthatithasafunction,afunnythinghappened.istoppedgivingitsomuchauthority.igiveititsdue.itakeittotherapy.i'vebecomeveryfamiliarwithitsdysfunctionalbehavior.buti'mnotashamedofmyself.infact,irespectmyselfanditsfunction.andovertimeandwithpractice,i'vetriedtolivemoreandmorefrommyessence.andifyoucandothat,incrediblethingshappen.

当我真的理解我的自我不过是种映射,是种工具,一件奇怪的事情发生了。我不再让它过多控制我的生活。我学习管理它,像把它带去看医生一样,我很熟悉那些因自我而失调的举动。我不因自我而羞耻,事实上,我很尊敬我的自我和它的功能。而随着时间过去,我的技术也更加熟练,我可以更多的和我的本源共存。如果你愿意尝试,不可以思议的事情也会发生在你身上。

iwasincongoinfebruary,dancingandcelebratingwithwomenwho'vesurvivedthedestructionoftheirselvesinliterallyunthinkableways--destroyedbecauseotherbrutalized,psychopathicselvesalloverthatbeautifullandarefuelingourselves'addictiontoipods,pads,andbling,whichfurtherdisconnectourselvesfromeverfeelingtheirpain,theirsuffering,theirdeath.because,hey,ifwe'realllivinginourselvesandmistakingitforlife,thenwe'redevaluinganddesensitizinglife.andinthatdisconnectedstate,yeah,wecanbuildfactoryfarmswithnowindows,destroymarinelifeanduserapeasaweaponofwar.sohere'sanotetoself:thecrackshavestartedtoshowinourconstructedworld,andoceanswillcontinuetosurgethroughthecracks,andoilandblood,riversofit.

今年二月,我在刚果和一群女性一起跳舞和庆祝,她们都是经历过各种无法想象事情“自我”遍体鳞伤的人们,那些备受摧残,心理变态的自我充斥在这片美丽的土地,而我们仍痴迷地追逐着ipod,pad等各种闪亮的东西,将我们与他们的痛苦,死亡隔得更远。如果我们各自生活在自我中,并无以为这就是生活,那么我们是在贬低和远离生命的意义。在这种脱节的状态中,我们是可以建设没有窗户的工厂,破坏海洋生态,将__作为战争的工具。为我们的自我做个解释:这是看似完善的世界里的裂痕,海洋,河流,石油和鲜血正不断地从缝中涌出。

crucially,wehaven'tbeenfiguringouthowtoliveinonenesswiththeearthandeveryotherlivingthing.we'vejustbeeninsanelytryingtofigureouthowtolivewitheachother--billionsofeachother.onlywe'renotlivingwitheachother;ourcrazyselvesarelivingwitheachotherandperpetuatinganepidemicofdisconnection.

关键的是,我们还没有明白如何和自然以及其他所有生物和谐地共处。我们只是疯狂地想和其他人沟通,几十亿其他人。只有当我们不在和世界合一的时候,我们疯狂的自我却互相怜惜,并永远继续这场相互隔绝的疫症。

let'slivewitheachotherandtakeitabreathatatime.ifwecangetunderthatheavyself,lightatorchofawareness,andfindouressence,ourconnectiontotheinfiniteandeveryotherlivingthing.weknewitfromthedaywewereborn.let'snotbefreakedoutbyourbountifulnothingness.it'smorearealitythantheonesourselveshavecreated.imaginewhatkindofe_istencewecanhaveifwehonorinevitabledeathofself,appreciatetheprivilegeoflifeandmarvelatwhatcomesne_t.simpleawarenessiswhereitbegins.

让我们共生共荣,并不要太过激进着急。试着放下沉重的自我,点亮知觉的火把,寻找我们的本源,我们与万事万物之间的联系。我们初生时就懂得这个道理的。不要被我们内心丰富的空白吓到,这比我们虚构的自我要真实。想象如果你能接受自我并不存在,你想要如何生活,感恩生命的可贵和未来的惊奇。简单的觉醒就是开始。

thankyouforlistening.

(applause)谢谢。

当我九岁的时候我第一次去参加夏令营我妈妈帮我整理好了我的行李箱里面塞满了书这对于我来说是一件极为自然的事情因为在我的家庭里阅读是主要的家庭活动听上去你们可能觉得我们是不爱交际的但是对于我的家庭来说这真的只是接触社会的另一种途径你们有自己家庭接触时的温暖亲情家人静坐在你身边但是你也可以自由地漫游在你思维深处的冒险乐园里我有一个想法野营会变得像这样子,当然要更好些(笑声)我想象到十个女孩坐在一个小屋里都穿着合身的女式睡衣惬意地享受着读书的过程

野营这时更像是一个不提供酒水的派对聚会在第一天的时候呢我们的顾问把我们都集合在一起并且她教会了我们一种今后要用到的庆祝方式在余下夏令营的每一天中让“露营精神”浸润我们之后它就像这样继续着r-o-w-d-i-e这是我们拼写“吵闹"的口号我们唱着“噪音,喧闹,我们要变得吵一点”对,就是这样可我就是弄不明白我的生活会是什么样的为什么我们变得这么吵闹粗暴或者为什么我们非要把这个单词错误地拼写(笑声)但是我可没有忘记庆祝。我与每个人都互相欢呼庆祝了我尽了我最大的努力我只是想等待那一刻我可以离开吵闹的聚会去捧起我挚爱的书

butthefirsttimethatitookmybookoutofmysuitcase,thecoolestgirlinthebunkcameuptomeandsheaskedme,"whyareyoubeingsomellow?"--mellow,ofcourse,beingthee_actoppositeofr-o-w-d-i-e.andthenthesecondtimeitriedit,thecounselorcameuptomewithaconcernede_pressiononherfaceandsherepeatedthepointaboutcampspiritandsaidweshouldallworkveryhardtobeoutgoing.

但是当我第一次把书从行李箱中拿出来的时候床铺中最酷的那个女孩向我走了过来并且她问我:“为什么你要这么安静?”安静,当然,是r-o-w-d-i-e的反义词“喧闹”的反义词而当我第二次拿书的时候我们的顾问满脸忧虑的向我走了过来接着她重复了关于“露营精神”的要点并且说我们都应当努力去变得外向些

于是我放好我的书放回了属于它们的行李箱中并且我把它们放到了床底下在那里它们度过了暑假余下的每一天我对这样做感到很愧疚不知为什么我感觉这些书是需要我的它们在呼唤我,但是我却放弃了它们我确实放下了它们,并且我再也没有打开那个箱子直到我和我的家人一起回到家中在夏末的时候

现在,我向你们讲述这个夏令营的故事我完全可以给你们讲出其他50种版本就像这个一样的故事--每当我感觉到这样的时候它告诉我出于某种原因,我的宁静和内向的风格并不是正确道路上的必需品我应该更多地尝试一个外向者的角色而在我内心深处感觉得到,这是错误的内向的人们都是非常优秀的,确实是这样但是许多年来我都否认了这种直觉于是我首先成为了华尔街的一名律师而不是我长久以来想要成为的一名作家一部分原因是因为我想要证明自己也可以变得勇敢而坚定并且我总是去那些拥挤的酒吧当我只是想要和朋友们吃一顿愉快的晚餐时我做出了这些自我否认的抉择如条件反射一般甚至我都不清楚我做出了这些决定

nowthisiswhatmanyintrovertsdo,andit'sourlossforsure,butitisalsoourcolleagues'lossandourcommunities'loss.andattheriskofsoundinggrandiose,itistheworld'sloss.becausewhenitcomestocreativityandtoleadership,weneedintrovertsdoingwhattheydobest.athirdtoahalfofthepopulationareintroverts--athirdtoahalf.sothat'soneoutofeverytwoorthreepeopleyouknow.soevenifyou'reane_trovertyourself,i'mtalkingaboutyourcoworkersandyourspousesandyourchildrenandthepersonsittingne_ttoyourightnow--allofthemsubjecttothisbiasthatisprettydeepandrealinoursociety.weallinternalizeitfromaveryearlyagewithoutevenhavingalanguageforwhatwe'redoing.

这就是很多内向的人正在做的事情这当然是我们的损失但这同样也是同事们的损失我们所在团队集体的损失当然,冒着被指为夸大其词的风险我想说,更是世界的损失因为当涉及创造和领导的时候我们需要内向的人做到最好三分之一到二分之一的人都是内向的--三分之一到二分之一你要知道这可意味着每两到三个人中就有一个内向的所以即使你自己是一个外向的人我正在说你的同事和你的配偶和你的孩子还有现在正坐在你旁边的那个家伙--他们都要屈从于这样的偏见一种在我们的社会中已经扎根的现实偏见我们从很小的时候就把它藏在内心最深处甚至都不说几句话,关于我们正在做的事情。

nowtoseethebiasclearlyyouneedtounderstandwhatintroversionis.it'sdifferentfrombeingshy.shynessisaboutfearofsocialjudgment.introversionismoreabout,howdoyourespondtostimulation,includingsocialstimulation.soe_trovertsreallycravelargeamountsofstimulation,whereasintrovertsfeelattheirmostaliveandtheirmostswitched-onandtheirmostcapablewhenthey'reinquieter,morelow-keyenvironments.notallthetime--thesethingsaren'tabsolute--butalotofthetime.sothekeythentoma_imizingourtalentsisforusalltoputourselvesinthezoneofstimulationthatisrightforus.

现在让我们来清楚地看待这种偏见我们需要真正了解“内向”到底指什么它和害羞是不同的害羞是对于社会评论的恐惧内向更多的是你怎样对于刺激作出回应包括来自社会的刺激其实内向的人是很渴求大量的鼓舞和激励的反之内向者最感觉到他们的存在这是他们精力最充足的时候,最具有能力的时候当他们存在于更安静的,更低调的环境中并不是所有时候--这些事情都不是绝对的--但是存在于很多时候所以说,关键在于把我们的天赋发挥到最大化这对于我们来说就足够把我们自己放到对于我们正确又合适的激励的区域中去

但是现在偏见出现了我们最重要的那些体系我们的学校和工作单位它们都是为性格外向者设计的并且有适合他们需要的刺激和鼓励当然我们现在也有这样一种信用机制我称它为新型的“团队思考”这是一种包含所有创造力和生产力的思考方式从一个社交非常零散的地方产生的

当你描绘今天典型教室的图案时当我还上学的时候我们一排排地坐着我们靠着桌子一排排坐着就像这样并且我们大多数工作都是自觉完成的但是在现代社会,所谓典型的教室是些圈起来并排的桌子--四个或是五个或是六、七个孩子坐在一起,面对面孩子们要完成无数个小组任务甚至像数学和创意写作这些课程这些你们认为需要依靠个人闪光想法的课程孩子们现在却被期待成为小组会的成员对于那些喜欢独处,或者自己一个人工作的孩子来说这些孩子常常被视为局外人或者更糟,被视为问题孩子并且很大一部分老师的报告中都相信最理想的学生应该是外向的相对于内向的学生而言甚至说外向的学生能够取得更好的成绩更加博学多识据研究报道(笑声)

okay,samethingistrueinourworkplaces.now,mostofusworkinopenplanoffices,withoutwalls,wherewearesubjecttotheconstantnoiseandgazeofourcoworkers.andwhenitcomestoleadership,introvertsareroutinelypassedoverforleadershippositions,eventhoughintrovertstendtobeverycareful,muchlesslikelytotakeoutsizerisks--whichissomethingwemightallfavornowadays.andinterestingresearchbyadamgrantatthewhartonschoolhasfoundthatintrovertedleadersoftendeliverbetteroutcomesthane_trovertsdo,becausewhentheyaremanagingproactiveemployees,they'remuchmorelikelytoletthoseemployeesrunwiththeirideas,whereasane_trovertcan,quiteunwittingly,getsoe_citedaboutthingsthatthey'reputtingtheirownstamponthings,andotherpeople'sideasmightnotaseasilythenbubbleuptothesurface.

好了。同样的事情也发生在我们工作的地方现在呢,我们中的绝大多数都工作在宽阔没有隔间的办公室里甚至没有墙在这里,我们暴露在不断的噪音和我们同事的凝视目光下工作而当谈及领袖气质的时候内向的人总是按照惯例从领导的位置被忽视了尽管内向的人是非常小心仔细的很少去冒特大的风险--这些风险是今天我们可能都喜欢的宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院的亚当·格兰特教授做了一项很有意思的研究这项研究表明内向的领导们相对于外向领导而言总是会生产更大的效益因为当他们管理主动积极的雇员的时候他们更倾向于让有主见的雇员去自由发挥反之外向的领导就可能,当然是不经意的对于事情变得十分激动他们在事务上有了自己想法的印迹这使其他人的想法可能就不会很容易地在舞台上发光了

nowinfact,someofourtransformativeleadersinhistoryhavebeenintroverts.i'llgiveyousomee_amples.eleanorroosevelt,rosaparks,gandhi--allthesepeopleddescribedthemselvesasquietandsoft-spokenandevenshy.andtheyalltookthespotlight,eventhougheveryboneintheirbodieswastellingthemnotto.andthisturnsouttohaveaspecialpowerallitsown,becausepeoplecouldfeelthattheseleaderswereatthehelm,notbecausetheyenjoyeddirectingothersandnotoutofthepleasureofbeinglookedat;theyweretherebecausetheyhadnochoice,becausetheyweredriventodowhattheythoughtwasright.

事实上,历史上一些有改革能力的领袖都是内向的人我会举一些例子给你们埃莉诺·罗斯福,罗沙·帕克斯,甘地--所有这些人都把自己描述成内向,说话温柔甚至是害羞的人他们仍然站在了聚光灯下即使他们浑身上下都感知他们说不要这证明是一种属于它自身的特殊的力量因为人们都会感觉这些领导者同时是掌舵者并不是因为他们喜欢指挥别人抑或是享受众人目光的聚焦他们处在那个位置因为他们没有选择因为他们行驶在他们认为正确的道路上

nowithinkatthispointit'simportantformetosaythatiactuallylovee_troverts.ialwaysliketosaysomeofmybestfriendsaree_troverts,includingmybelovedhusband.andweallfallatdifferentpoints,ofcourse,alongtheintrovert/e_trovertspectrum.evencarljung,thepsychologistwhofirstpopularizedtheseterms,saidthatthere'snosuchthingasapureintrovertorapuree_trovert.hesaidthatsuchamanwouldbeinalunaticasylum,ifhee_istedatall.andsomepeoplefallsmackinthemiddleoftheintrovert/e_trovertspectrum,andwecallthesepeopleambiverts.andioftenthinkthattheyhavethebestofallworlds.butmanyofusdorecognizeourselvesasonetypeortheother.

现在我觉得对于这点我有必要说那就是我真的喜爱外向的人我总是喜欢说我最好的几个朋友都是外向的人包括我亲爱的丈夫当然了我们都会在不同点时偏向内向者/外向者的范围甚至是卡尔·荣格,这个让这些名词为大众所熟知的心理学家,说道世上绝没有一个纯粹的内向的人或者一个纯粹的外向的人他说这样的人会在精神病院里如果他存在的话还有一些人处在中间的迹象在内向与外向之间我们称这些人为“中向性格者”并且我总是认为他们拥有世界最美好的一切但是我们中的大多数总是认为自己属于内向或者外向,其中一类

andwhati'msayingisthatculturallyweneedamuchbetterbalance.weneedmoreofayinandyangbetweenthesetwotypes.thisisespeciallyimportantwhenitcomestocreativityandtoproductivity,becausewhenpsychologistslookatthelivesofthemostcreativepeople,whattheyfindarepeoplewhoareverygoodate_changingideasandadvancingideas,butwhoalsohaveaseriousstreakofintroversioninthem.

同时我想说从文化意义上讲我们需要一种更好的平衡我们需要更多的阴阳的平衡在这两种类型的人之间这点是极为重要的当涉及创造力和生产力的时候因为当心理学家们看待最有创造力的人的生命的时候他们寻找到的是那些擅长变换思维的人提出想法的人但是他们同时也有着极为显著的偏内向的痕迹

这是因为独处是非常关键的因素对于创造力来说所以达尔文自己一个人漫步在小树林里并且断然拒绝了晚餐派对的邀约西奥多·盖索,更多时候以苏索博士的名号知名他梦想过很多的惊人的创作在他在加利福尼亚州拉霍亚市房子的后面的一座孤独的束层的塔形办公室中而且其实他很害怕见面见那些读过他的书的年轻的孩子们害怕他们会期待他这样一位令人愉快的,圣诞老人形象的人物同时又会因发现他含蓄缄默的性格而失望史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克发明了第一台苹果电脑一个人独自坐在他的机柜旁在他当时工作的惠普公司并且他说他永远不会在那方面成为一号专家但他还没因太内向到要离开那里那个他成长起来的地方

nowofcourse,thisdoesnotmeanthatweshouldallstopcollaborating--andcaseinpoint,isstevewozniakfamouslycomingtogetherwithstevejobstostartapplecomputer--butitdoesmeanthatsolitudemattersandthatforsomepeopleitistheairthattheybreathe.andinfact,wehaveknownforcenturiesaboutthetranscendentpowerofsolitude.it'sonlyrecentlythatwe'vestrangelybeguntoforgetit.ifyoulookatmostoftheworld'smajorreligions,youwillfindseekers--moses,jesus,buddha,muhammad--seekerswhoaregoingoffbythemselvesalonetothewildernesswheretheythenhaveprofoundepiphaniesandrevelationsthattheythenbringbacktotherestofthecommunity.sonowilderness,norevelations.

当然了这并不意味着我们都应该停止合作--恰当的例子呢,是史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克和史蒂夫·乔布斯的著名联手创建苹果电脑公司--但是这并不意味着和独处有重大关系并且对于一些人来说这是他们赖以呼吸生存的空气事实上,几个世纪以来我们已经非常明白独处的卓越力量只是到了最近,非常奇怪,我们开始遗忘它了如果你看看世界上主要的宗教你会发现探寻者--摩西,耶稣,佛祖,穆罕默德--那些独身去探寻的人们在大自然的旷野中独处,思索在那里,他们有了深刻的顿悟和对于奥义的揭示之后他们把这些思想带回到社会的其他地方去没有旷原,没有启示

尽管这并不令人惊讶如果你注意到现代心理学的思想理论它反映出来我们甚至不能和一组人待在一起而不去本能地模仿他们的意见与想法甚至是看上去私人的,发自内心的事情像是你被谁所吸引你会开始模仿你周围的人的信仰甚至都觉察不到你自己在做什么

andgroupsfamouslyfollowtheopinionsofthemostdominantorcharismaticpersonintheroom,eventhoughthere'szerocorrelationbetweenbeingthebesttalkerandhavingthebestideas--imeanzero.so...(laughter)youmightbefollowingthepersonwiththebestideas,butyoumightnot.anddoyoureallywanttoleaveituptochance?muchbetterforeverybodytogooffbythemselves,generatetheirownideasfreedfromthedistortionsofgroupdynamics,andthencometogetherasateamtotalkthemthroughinawell-managedenvironmentandtakeitfromthere.

还曾跟随群体的意见跟随着房间里最具有统治力的,最有领袖气质的人的思路虽然这真的没什么关系在成为一个卓越的演讲家还是拥有最好的主意之间--我的意思是“零相关”那么...(笑声)你们或许会跟随有最好头脑的人但是你们也许不会可你们真的想把这机会扔掉吗?如果每个人都自己行动或许好得多发掘他们自己的想法没有群体动力学的曲解接着来到一起组成一个团队在一个良好管理的环境中互相交流并且在那里学习别的思想

如果说现在这一切都是真的那么为什么我们还得到这样错误的结论?为什么我们要这样创立我们的学校,还有我们的工作单位?为什么我们要让这些内向的人觉得那么愧疚。对于他们只是想要离开,一个人独处一段时间的事实?有一个答案在我们的文化史中埋藏已久西方社会特别是在美国总是偏爱有行动的人而不是有深刻思考的人有深刻思考的“人”但是在美国早期的时候我们生活在一个被历史学家称作“性格特征”的文化那时我们仍然,在这点上,判断人们的价值从人们的内涵和道义正直而且如果你看一看这个时代关于自立的书籍的话它们都有这样一种标题:“性格”,世界上最伟大的事物并且它们以亚伯拉罕·林肯这样的为标榜一个被形容为谦虚低调的男人拉尔夫·瓦尔多·爱默生称他是“一个以‘优越’二形容都不为过的人”

butthenwehitthe20thcenturyandweenteredanewculturethathistorianscallthecultureofpersonality.whathappenediswehadevolvedanagriculturaleconomytoaworldofbigbusiness.andsosuddenlypeoplearemovingfromsmalltownstothecities.andinsteadofworkingalongsidepeoplethey'veknownalltheirlives,nowtheyarehavingtoprovethemselvesinacrowdofstrangers.so,quiteunderstandably,qualitieslikemagnetismandcharismasuddenlycometoseemreallyimportant.andsureenough,theself-helpbookschangetomeetthesenewneedsandtheystarttohavenameslike"howtowinfriendsandinfluencepeople."andtheyfeatureastheirrolemodelsreallygreatsalesmen.sothat'stheworldwe'relivingintoday.that'sourculturalinheritance.

但是接着我们来到了二十世纪并且我们融入了一种新的文化一种被历史学家称作“个性”的文化所发生的改变就是我们从农业经济发展为一个大商业经济的世界而且人们突然开始搬迁从小的城镇搬向城市并且一改他们之前的在生活中和所熟识的人们一起工作的方式现在他们在一群陌生人中间有必要去证明自己这样做是非常可以理解的像领袖气质和个人魅力这样的品质突然间似乎变得极为重要那么可以肯定的是,自助自立的书的内容变更了以适应这些新的需求并且它们开始拥有名称像是《如何赢得朋友和影响他人》(戴尔?卡耐基所著《人性的弱点》)他们的特点是做自己的榜样不得不说确实是好的推销员所以这就是我们今天生活的世界这是我们的文化遗产

现在没有谁能够说社交技能是不重要的并且我也不是想呼吁大家废除团队合作模式但仍是相同的宗教,却把他们的圣人送到了孤独的山顶上仍然教导我们爱与信任还有我们今天所要面对的问题像是在科学和经济领域是如此的巨大和复杂以至于我们需要人们强有力地团结起来共同解决这些问题但是我想说,越给内向者自由让他们做自己他们就做得越好去想出他们独特的关于问题的解决办法

所以现在我很高兴同你们分享我手提箱中的东西猜猜是什么?书我有一个手提箱里面装满了书这是玛格丽特·阿特伍德的《猫的眼睛》这是一本米兰·昆德拉的书这是一本《迷途指津》是迈蒙尼德写的但这些实际上都不是我的书我还是带着它们,陪伴着我因为它们都是我祖父最喜爱的作家所写

mygrandfatherwasarabbiandhewasawidowerwholivedaloneinasmallapartmentinbrooklynthatwasmyfavoriteplaceintheworldwheniwasgrowingup,partlybecauseitwasfilledwithhisverygentle,verycourtlypresenceandpartlybecauseitwasfilledwithbooks.imeanliterallyeverytable,everychairinthisapartmenthadyieldeditsoriginalfunctiontonowserveasasurfaceforswayingstacksofbooks.justliketherestofmyfamily,mygrandfather'sfavoritethingtodointhewholeworldwastoread.

我的祖父是一名犹太教祭司他独身一人在布鲁克林的一间小公寓中居住那里是我从小到大在这个世界上最喜爱的地方部分原因是他有着非常温和亲切的,温文尔雅的举止部分原因是那里充满了书我的意思是,毫不夸张地说,公寓中的每张桌子,每张椅子都充分应用着它原有的功能就是现在作为承载一大堆都在摇曳的书的表面就像我其他的家庭成员一样我祖父在这个世界上最喜欢做的事情就是阅读

buthealsolovedhiscongregation,andyoucouldfeelthisloveinthesermonsthathegaveeveryweekforthe62yearsthathewasarabbi.hewouldtakesthefruitsofeachweek'sreadingandhewouldweavetheseintricatetapestriesofancientandhumanistthought.andpeoplewouldcomefromallovertohearhimspeak.

但是他同样也热爱他的宗教并且你们可以从他的讲述中感觉到他这种爱这62年来每周他都作为一名犹太教的祭司他会从每周的阅读中汲取养分并且他会编织这些错综复杂的古代和人文主义的思想的挂毯并且人们会从各个地方前来听他的讲话

buthere'sthethingaboutmygrandfather.underneaththisceremonialrole,hewasreallymodestandreallyintroverted--somuchsothatwhenhedeliveredthesesermons,hehadtroublemakingeyecontactwiththeverysamecongregationthathehadbeenspeakingtofor62years.andevenawayfromthepodium,whenyoucalledhimtosayhello,hewouldoftenendtheconversationprematurelyforfearthathewastakinguptoomuchofyourtime.butwhenhediedattheageof94,thepolicehadtoclosedownthestreetsofhisneighborhoodtoaccommodatethecrowdofpeoplewhocameouttomournhim.andsothesedaysitrytolearnfrommygrandfather'se_ampleinmyownway.

但是有这么一件关于我祖父的事情在这个正式的角色下隐藏着他是一个非常谦虚的非常内向的人是那么的谦虚内向以至于当他在向人们讲述的时候他都不敢有视线上的接触和同样的教堂会众他已经发言有62年了甚至都还远离领奖台当你们让他说“你好”的时候他总会提早结束这对话担心他会占用你太多的时间但是当他94岁去世的时候警察们需要封锁他所居住的街道邻里来容纳拥挤的人们前来哀悼他的人们这些天来我都试着从我祖父的事例中学习以我自己的方式

所以我就出版了一本关于内向性格的书它花了我7年的时间完成它而对我来说,这七年像是一种极大的喜悦因为我在阅读,我在写作我在思考,我在探寻这是我的版本对于爷爷一天中几个小时都要独自待在图书馆这件事但是现在突然间我的工作变得很不同了我的工作变成了站在这里讲述它讲述内向的性格(笑声)而且这对于我来说是有一点困难的因为我很荣幸在现在被你们所有人所倾听这可不是我自然的文化背景

所以我准备了一会就像这样以我所能做到的最好的方式我花了最近一年的时间练习在公共场合发言在我能得到的每一个机会中我把这一年称作我的“危险地发言的一年”(笑声)而且它的确帮了我很大的忙但是我要告诉你们一个帮我更大的忙的事情那就是我的感觉,我的信仰,我的希望当谈及我们态度的时候对于内向性格的,对于安静,对于独处的态度时我们确实是在急剧变化的边缘上保持微妙的平衡我的意思是,我们在保持平衡现在我将要给你们留下一些东西三件对于你们的行动有帮助的事情献给那些观看我的演讲的人

第一:停止对于经常要团队协作的执迷与疯狂停止它就好了(笑声)谢谢你们(掌声)我想让我所说的事情变得清晰一些因为我对于我们的办公深信不疑应该鼓励它们那种休闲随意的,聊天似的咖啡厅式的相互作用--你们知道的,道不同不相为谋,人们聚到一起并且互相交换着宝贵的意见这是很棒的这对于内向者很好,同样对于外向者也好但是我们需要更多的隐私和更多的自由还有更多对于我们本身工作的自主权对于学校,也是同样的。我们当然需要教会孩子们要一起学习工作但是我们同样需要教会孩子们怎么样独立完成任务这对于外向的孩子们来说同样是极为重要的他们需要独立完成工作因为从某种程度上,这是他们深刻思考的来源

okay,numbertwo:gotothewilderness.belikebuddha,haveyourownrevelations.i'mnotsayingthatweallhavetonowgooffandbuildourowncabinsinthewoodsandnevertalktoeachotheragain,butiamsayingthatwecouldallstandtounplugandgetinsideourownheadsalittlemoreoften.

好了,第二个:去到野外(打开思维)就像佛祖一样,拥有你们自己对于事物的揭示启迪我并不是说我们都要跑去小树林里建造我们自己的小屋并且之后就永远不和别人说话了但是我要说我们都可以坚持去去除一些障碍物然后深入我们自己的大脑思想时不时得再深入一点

numberthree:takeagoodlookatwhat'sinsideyourownsuitcaseandwhyyouputitthere.soe_troverts,maybeyoursuitcasesarealsofullofbooks.ormaybethey'refullofchampagneglassesorskydivingequipment.whateveritis,ihopeyoutakethesethingsouteverychanceyougetandgraceuswithyourenergyandyourjoy.butintroverts,youbeingyou,youprobablyhavetheimpulsetoguardverycarefullywhat'sinsideyourownsuitcase.andthat'sokay.butoccasionally,justoccasionally,ihopeyouwillopenupyoursuitcasesforotherpeopletosee,becausetheworldneedsyouanditneedsthethingsyoucarry.

第三点:好好看一眼你的旅行箱内有什么东西还有你为什么把它放进去所以外向者们也许你们的箱子内同样堆满了书或者它们装满了香槟的玻璃酒杯或者是跳伞运动的设备不管它是什么,我希望每当你们有机会你们就把它拿出来用你的能量和你的快乐让我们感受到美和享受但是内向者们,你们作为内向者你们很可能有仔细保护一切的冲动在你箱子里的东西这没有问题但是偶尔地,只是说偶尔地我希望你们可以打开你们的手提箱,让别人看一看因为这个世界需要你们,同样需要你们身上所携带的你们特有的事物

soiwishyouthebestofallpossiblejourneysandthecouragetospeaksoftly.

所以对于你们即将走上的所有旅程,我都给予你们我最美好的祝愿还有温柔地说话的勇气

thankyou.thankyou.

非常感谢你们!

inafunny,rapid-fire4minutes,ale_isohanianofreddittellsthereal-lifefableofonehumpbackwhale'srisetowebstardom.thelessonofmistersplashypantsisashoo-inclassicformeme-makersandmarketersinthefacebookage.

这段有趣的4分钟演讲,来自reddit网站创始人ale_isohanian。他讲了一个座头鲸在网上一夜成名的真实故事。“溅水先生”的故事是脸书时代米姆(小编注:根据《牛津英语词典》,meme被定义为:“文化的基本单位,通过非遗传的方式,特别是模仿而得到传递。”)制造者和传播者共同创造的经典案例。

演讲的开头,ale_isohanian介绍了“溅水先生”的故事。“绿色和平”环保组织为了阻止日本的捕鲸行为,在一只鲸鱼体内植入新片,并发起一个为这只座头鲸起名的活动。“绿色和平”组织希望起低调奢华有内涵的名字,但经过reddit的宣传和推动,票数最多的却是非常不高大上的“溅水先生”这个名字。经过几番折腾,“绿色和平”接受了这个名字,并且这一行动成功阻止了日本捕鲸活动。

演讲内容节选(ale_ohanian从社交网络的角度分析这个事件)

andactually,redditorsintheinternetcommunitywerehappytoparticipate,buttheyweren'twhalelovers.afewofthemcertainlywere.butwe'retalkingaboutalotofpeoplewhowerejustreallyinterestedandreallycaughtupinthisgreatmeme,andinfactsomeonefromgreenpeacecamebackonthesiteandthankedredditforitsparticipation.butthiswasn'treallyoutofaltruism.thiswasjustoutofinterestindoingsomethingcool.

事实上,reddit的社区用户们很高兴参与其中,但他们并非是鲸鱼爱好者。当然,他们中的一小部分或许是。我们看到的是一群人积极地去参与到这个米姆(社会活动)中,实际上“绿色和平”中的人登陆,感谢大家的参与。网友们这么做并非是完全的利他主义。他们只是觉得做这件事很酷。

andthisiskindofhowtheinternetworks.thisisthatgreatbigsecret.becausetheinternetprovidesthislevelplayingfield.yourlinkisjustasgoodasyourlink,whichisjustasgoodasmylink.aslongaswehaveabrowser,anyonecangettoanywebsitenomatterhowbigabudgetyouhave.

这就是互联网的运作方式。这就是我说的秘密。因为互联网提供的是一个机会均等平台。你分享的链接跟他分享的链接一样有趣,我分享的链接也不赖。只要我们有一个浏览器,不论你的财富几何,你都可以去到想浏览的页面。

theotherimportantthingisthatitcostsnothingtogetthatcontentonlinenow.therearesomanygreatpublishingtoolsthatareavailable,itonlytakesafewminutesofyourtimenowtoactuallyproducesomething.andthecostofiterationissocheapthatyoumightaswellgiveitago.

另外,从互联网获取内容不需要任何成本。如今,互联网有各种各样的发布工具,你只需要几分钟就可以成为内容的提供者。这种行为的成本非常低,你也可以试试。

如果你真的决定试试,那么请真挚、诚实、坦率地去做。“绿色和平”在这个故事中获得的教训是,有时候失控并不一定是坏事。最后我想告诉你们的是——你可以在网络上做得很好。如果你想在网络上成功,你得经得起一点失控。谢谢。

trysomethingnewfor30days小计划帮你实现大目标

afewyearsago,ifeltlikeiwasstuckinarut,soidecidedtofollowinthefootstepsofthegreatamericanphilosopher,morganspurlock,andtrysomethingnewfor30days.theideaisactuallyprettysimple.thinkaboutsomethingyou’vealwayswantedtoaddtoyourlifeandtryitforthene_t30days.itturnsout,30daysisjustabouttherightamountoftimetoaddanewhabitorsubtractahabit—likewatchingthenews—fromyourlife.

几年前,我感觉对老一套感到枯燥乏味,所以我决定追随伟大的美国哲学家摩根·斯普尔洛克的脚步,尝试做新事情30天。这个想法的确是非常简单。考虑下,你常想在你生命中做的一些事情接下来30天尝试做这些。这就是,30天刚好是这么一段合适的时间去养成一个新的习惯或者改掉一个习惯——例如看新闻——在你生活中。

there’safewthingsilearnedwhiledoingthese30-daychallenges.thefirstwas,insteadofthemonthsflyingby,forgotten,thetimewasmuchmorememorable.thiswaspartofachallengeididtotakeapictureeverydayforamonth.andiremembere_actlywhereiwasandwhatiwasdoingthatday.ialsonoticedthatasistartedtodomoreandharder30-daychallenges,myself-confidencegrew.iwentfromdesk-dwellingcomputernerdtothekindofguywhobikestowork—forfun.evenlastyear,iendeduphikingupmt.kilimanjaro,thehighestmountaininafrica.iwouldneverhavebeenthatadventurousbeforeistartedmy30-daychallenges.

当我在30天做这些挑战性事情时,我学到以下一些事。第一件事是,取代了飞逝而过易被遗忘的岁月的是这段时间非常的更加令人难忘。挑战的一部分是要一个月内每天我要去拍摄一张照片。我清楚地记得那一天我所处的位置我都在干什么。我也注意到随着我开始做更多的,更难的30天里具有挑战性的事时,我自信心也增强了。我从一个台式计算机宅男极客变成了一个爱骑自行车去工作的人——为了玩乐。甚至去年,我完成了在非洲最高山峰乞力马扎罗山的远足。在我开始这30天做挑战性的事之前我从来没有这样热爱冒险过。

ialsofiguredoutthatifyoureallywantsomethingbadlyenough,youcandoanythingfor30days.haveyoueverwantedtowriteanovel?everynovember,tensofthousandsofpeopletrytowritetheirown50,000wordnovelfromscratchin30days.itturnsout,allyouhavetodoiswrite1,667wordsadayforamonth.soidid.bytheway,thesecretisnottogotosleepuntilyou’vewrittenyourwordsfortheday.youmightbesleep-deprived,butyou’llfinishyournovel.nowismybookthene_tgreatamericannovel?no.iwroteitinamonth.it’sawful.butfortherestofmylife,ifimeetjohnhodgmanatatedparty,idon’thavetosay,“i’macomputerscientist.”no,no,ifiwanttoicansay,“i’manovelist.”

我也认识到如果你真想一些槽糕透顶的事,你可以在30天里做这些事。你曾想写小说吗?每年11月,数以万计的人们在30天里,从零起点尝试写他们自己的5万字小说。这结果就是,你所要去做的事就是每天写1667个字要写一个月。所以我做到了。顺便说一下,秘密在于除非在一天里你已经写完了1667个字,要不你就甭想睡觉。你可能被剥夺睡眠,但你将会完成你的小说。那么我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗?不是的。我在一个月内写完它。它看上去太可怕了。但在我的余生,如果我在一个ted聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼,我不必开口说,“我是一个电脑科学家。”不,不会的,如果我愿意我可以说,“我是一个小说家。”

(laughter)

(笑声)

sohere’sonelastthingi’dliketomention.ilearnedthatwhenimadesmall,sustainablechanges,thingsicouldkeepdoing,theyweremorelikelytostick.there’snothingwrongwithbig,crazychallenges.infact,they’reatonoffun.butthey’relesslikelytostick.whenigaveupsugarfor30days,day31lookedlikethis.

我这儿想提的最后一件事。当我做些小的、持续性的变化,我可以不断尝试做的事时,我学到我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。这和又大又疯狂的具有挑战性的事情无关。事实上,它们的乐趣无穷。但是,它们就不太可能坚持做下来。当我在30天里拒绝吃糖果,31天后看上去就像这样。

(laughter)

(笑声)

sohere’smyquestiontoyou:whatareyouwaitingfor?iguaranteeyouthene_t30daysaregoingtopasswhetheryoulikeitornot,sowhynotthinkaboutsomethingyouhavealwayswantedtotryandgiveitashotforthene_t30days.

所以我给大家提的问题是:大家还在等什么呀?我保准大家在未来的30天定会经历你喜欢或者不喜欢的事,那么为什么不考虑一些你常想做的尝试并在未来30天里试试给自己一个机会。

thanks.

谢谢。

事实上,中国餐馆在美国历史上发挥了很重要的作用。古巴导弹危机是在华盛顿一家名叫“燕京馆”的中餐馆里解决的。很不幸,这家餐馆现在关门了,即将被改建成沃尔格林连锁药店。而约翰·威尔克斯·布斯刺杀林肯总统的那所房子现在也成了一家中餐馆,就是位于华盛顿的“锅和卷”。

如果你仔细想想,就会发现很多你们所认为或我们所认为,或是美国人所认为的中国食物,中国人并不认识。比如西兰花牛肉、蛋卷、左宗棠鸡、幸运饼干、杂碎、外卖盒子。

so,theinterestingquestionis,howdoyougofromfortunecookiesbeingsomethingthatisjapanesetobeingsomethingthatischinese?well,theshortansweris,welockedupallthejapaneseduringworldwarii,includingthosethatmadefortunecookies,sothat'sthetimewhenthechinesemovedin,kindofsawamarketopportunityandtookover.

所以有趣的是,幸运饼干是怎么从日本的东西变成中国的东西的呢?简单地说,我们在二战时扣押了所以的日本人,包括那些做幸运饼干的。这时候,中国人来了,看到了商机,自然就据为己有了。

左宗棠鸡,在美国海军军校被称为左司令鸡。我很喜欢这道菜。在我的书里,这道菜实际上叫左将军的长征,它确实在美国很受欢迎,因为它是甜的,油炸的,是鸡肉做的——全部都是美国人的最爱。

so,youknow,irealizedwheniwasthere,generaltsoiskindofalotlikecolonelsandersinamerica,inthathe'sknownforchickenandnotwar.butinchina,thisguy'sactuallyknownforwarandnotchicken.

我意识到左宗棠将军有点像美国的桑德斯上校(肯德基创始人),因为他是因鸡肉而出名的而不是战争。而在中国,左宗棠确实是因为战争而不是鸡肉闻名的。

麦乐鸡块的发明并没有给他们带来切实收益,因为这个想法很简单,但麦乐鸡背后的技巧是如何用一种划算的方式来把鸡肉从骨头上剔出来。这就是为什么过了这么久才有人模仿他们。

简介:残奥会短跑冠军aimeemullins天生没有腓骨,从小就要学习靠义肢走路和奔跑。如今,她不仅是短跑选手、演员、模特,还是一位稳健的演讲者。她不喜欢字典中“disabled”这个词,因为负面词汇足以毁掉一个人。但是,坦然面对不幸,你会发现等待你的是更多的机会。

ted演讲稿篇10

大家好!

人生是短暂而又孤独的,人必须独立坚强的战斗下去,走自己认为正确的道路,不能有丝毫的犹豫与放松。否则就会被时代所淘汰。

正如前几天所报道的一样,美国苹果公司执行官兼总裁史蒂夫乔布斯去世了,媒体网络都相继报道了起来,成为了论坛话题,很多人都为此感到了惊讶与惋惜,但从背后的角度来看,乔布斯的去世不得不说是苹果传奇的结束,自乔布斯1977年创立苹果公司以来,苹果公司一直保持着电子商业界的不朽传奇,第一年就得到了盈利,之后经过公司的不断创新,苹果成为人们不断选择的电子品牌之一,正因为有乔布斯在,才有了苹果的今天,从而带动了电子商业界,使世界不断走向电子科技化,他为电子界写下了光辉的一笔,实现了自己的人生价值,他死的是重于泰山。

人生带给我们的酸甜苦辣,对我们来说都是一种很好的经验,会使我们逐渐成长,正是人类社会有了这种思想,我们的社会才得以一代代延续下来,我们的生活才一天比一天好,人生才有了价值。

相信自己,不断向前看齐,坚定黎明后会是阳光,为人生上色,走出一条自己绘画的人生彩图,使它绚丽起来,做的自己,不断向前迈进,去走向黎明后的彼岸,铺设辉煌的人生。

ted演讲稿篇11

大家好!

有句话说:世界上没有两片完全相同的树叶。更没有相同的两个人,我们不能拿普遍的眼光凭某件事看待每个人,而当我们被错误的认识时,就要调整自己的心态——做自己。

有句话说得好:走自己的路,让别人说去吧!我们生在当下,不可能让每个人赞同自己,别人对你提的建议而并非完全适合你,此时就需要自己端正心态,明确自己的路,坚定不移的走下去。李娜在取得法网冠军后长期低迷,被众人评议为昙花一现,刘翔在20__年奥运年会上因一个转身使13亿中国人民惋惜,当听到刘翔退赛的消息时,不知有多少人为之哗然。难道他们真像众人所说的不堪一击吗?如果是,那就不会有20__年7连胜的佳绩,那就不会有尤金赛中12秒87的世界纪录,他们也有沮丧,但更多的是奋起,是努力造就一个新的自己。

一个苹果,有人说它甜,有人说他酸。我们不能避免被别人评论,我们不能,但我们可以更好。

我们只想完成自己的心愿,我们要做的是努力,付出。而不是别人嘴上说的自己,因为我们只想做自己,只能做自己。

压力大,怎么办?压力会让你心跳加速、呼吸加快、额头冒汗!当压力成为全民健康公敌时,有研究显示只有当你与压力为敌时,它才会危害你的健康。心理学家kellymcgonigal从积极的一面分析压力,教你如何使压力变成你的朋友!

大家都看过《士兵突击》吧。最记忆尤新的也莫过于一号男主角许三多吧,许三多这个角色被定型为一个“傻到极点,顽强,有一股韧性,坚韧不拔”的人。他的一句台词也升华了整部剧作——不抛弃,不放弃!

大家的理想自然不是都去当特种兵,这里的抛弃自然不都是战友,同学们想想,大大的中国13亿个人啊!就算小学同学40人,初中50人,高中50人在学习阶段也就是140个同学。也就是92857142个人中才能有1个人是你的同学,就仅凭这一点为何不把每一个同学都珍惜呢?更何况你能保证和每个同学都是的朋友吗?固然说有些同学长大后随自己没什么帮助,虽然有些同学长大后连记也不记的自己换个角度,你为何不和其余的9000多万个人做同学呢?都是缘分啊!别人堕落了拉别人一把,别人努力了跟上去一步,这样不就能一同进步了吗?一个同学你很讨厌他。他在悬崖一角即将坠下时,你是送他一脚还是送去一只手呢?珍惜眼前的一切吧!不抛弃同学中的任何一个人,讨厌他就当他在督促你,如果每个人都能拉身边的人一把,那么实验班的孩子算什么?赶上他们不就像兔子捉乌龟嘛!可现实中呢?有一句话说的好“没有永远的朋友,只有永远的利益”在悬崖一角时,大多数人都送去了一脚。是的,抛弃他,自己非常舒坦,天天不要来气,这是什么样的人呢?自己想想看吧!!

抛弃的如果是朋友,那么放弃的莫过于自己吧!

上了七中也就是超过了江苏一大半的学生,也就是说你已经是中上游得了,那么这样的努力了9年,可谓是怀一腔热血,负一身希望,这时如果放弃了,不就等于那扫把往家长的屁股上抽吗?放弃的都是懦弱的,都是失败者,放弃不是新的开端,是个人生命价值的结束!!一个人也就是留给他20年的时间去珍惜,为何还拿去挥霍呢?与其这样还不如拿刀给自己放血呢!快乐快乐的去学习,不是快乐快乐的去玩。用双手捧起自己的前途,用坚强的臂膀肩负起父母的希望吧。

还是那句话实验班的学生不算什么,抓起身边的人,一同努力吧!!

走进幸福的天堂!let’sgo!

我:“钟老师,您幸福么?”当我问钟老师这个问题的时候,老师感到惊讶,说:“我当然幸福啦!”“那你最大的幸福是什么呀?”我问。钟老师想了一会儿说:“嗯......是可以干自己想干的事,没有人阻拦我。而且要对自己有益,对别人有益那才幸福呢。”

校医却对我说:“没有人来看病,整天清闲着就幸福了。”但我觉得校医是在说笑吧,哪有作为一个医生不想救死扶伤呢?

舞蹈老师说:“能让我教过的学生都能够不断进步,那就是我的幸福了。

厨房叔叔说:“我不知道。”班长说:“对不起,我不接受采访。”吴芃净:“我......跟你一样。”

我不懂,为什么我在问大人时,他(她)们都会狂笑不止,而我在问同学时,同学们就不愿意回答。

钟老师的幸福是因为可以做对自己、别人有益的事。舞蹈老师的幸福是自己教过的学生都能够不断进步。她们都是一个好老师,都在为别人付出。

老师们!你们经历过苦难,但你们都能感到幸福。那我就更加不用说了。

我幸福,因为我生活在幸福中。

一次,我和阿姨坐公交车去天虹购物。在公交车上,有一个老奶奶上车了,可车上没座位了。我看到旁边有一个牌子,上面写:请给老人让座。老师也讲过,要给老人让座。于是,我让老奶奶坐在我的座位上。老奶奶说:“谢谢你!”一个姐姐看见了,让我坐在她的座位上。可见,我们人之间是有爱、是有幸福的。

其实,幸福很简单,它时时刻刻地陪在我们身边!

付出是一种幸福。彼此牵手同行,难免磕碰,重要的是要珍惜爱与付出。

拥有是一种幸福。你有很多东西,难道你不会感到幸福么?

批评是一种幸福。老师和家长批评你,是因为他(她)们关心你。不然,他们怎么会批评你呢?所以,你被批评时,应该高兴呀!

被攻击,被妒忌是一种幸福.因为你有值得被妒忌和攻击的资格。

被出卖是一种幸福。它让你看清楚谁是你真正的朋友。

失望是一种幸福。因为有盼望,才会有失望。有了盼望,就有了追求,有了追求,就有了幸福。

许多人认为有钱就是幸福,因为金钱可以买到很多自己想要的东西。不过,我认为有金钱并不一定就能得到幸福!因为金钱买不到亲情,买不到真诚。

我们如果不能察觉自己的幸福,是因为还不懂的幸福的含义,不懂得感激生活,宽容待人。

幸福不一定需要有很多钱,一家人能相亲相爱,朋友间能真诚相待,就是幸福。有时,一句贴心的话儿,一个感人的动作,那也是幸福。

幸福并不遥远,只要我们用心感受,它就在我们身边,可遇可求。

时间,白驹过隙的一瞬,看着窗外‘新世纪’酒店放的烟花,才真正的明白了元旦已经来临,岁月敲响了新的一年的大门。或许在给这文章落款时,我已踏进了20__。

生命轮回的影子,错过、不能错过的瞬间不断交织,最终消逝在冗长的遂道里,被风化,随时间曲折散去。人的一生又有多长,粗略一算,大概紧有的两万多天的时日,而我们一半的时间又在睡梦之中,剩下的,才能让我们自由得支配,或挥霍,或好好珍惜每一天。有人感慨时间的伧促,有人抱怨生命的短暂,还有人醉生梦死,将时间看待凝滞,于是产生了矛盾,对立与统一的结合。两点论告诉我们,在研究事物发展过程中,我们要看到主要矛盾和次要矛盾,要看到矛盾的主要方面和次要方面;重点论要我们在研究复杂事物发展过程中,要着重把握主要矛盾和矛盾的主要方面。人这辈子就这么个理儿,调动你的主观能动性来看待你的人生。

昨天是诸葛祥星的生日,同学唱了首歌《明天会更好》。轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵、看看忙碌的世界依然孤独的转个不停。唱出我们的热情,让我们的笑容充满着青春的骄傲,去期待着明天会更好。曾几何时,我们放飞梦想,让它插上翅膀,飞到很远的地方;曾几何时,我们播种下希望,用执著的满腔热忱去浇灌它成长…年轻的理想似蜗牛在晨曦中蜿蜒,心里明明藏着另一方净土,却不明白怎会风化成只有宋词的哀叹。

动物,它们是我们的朋友;动物,我们要保护它们;动物,也有尊严;动物;也有血有肉;动物,它跟我们一样,也是一条生命啊。

人们常常捕杀那些可怜的小动物,在他们的脑子里,只想着杀了他们赚钱,他们似乎已经丧失意志。如果我亲眼看见他们捕杀动物,我会问他们:“难道他们没有家人吗?你没有体验过骨肉分离的滋味,你想过那是什么滋味儿吗?它们也有血有肉、它们也知道感恩,你想过在他们即将被你们杀死的时候,心里会想些什么吗?你们不知道,有那么多无辜的小动物经过你的手被杀死,难道他们有罪吗?难道他们生下来就应该被残害吗?难道你们不该被遭报应吗?

你们可以换位思考一下,假如你是一条无辜的小动物,在你生下来的那一刻,你亲眼看见你的母亲死于非命或你被那些人给杀害了,你们心里会怎么想?你们就会亲身体验到骨肉分离的滋味吧?既然你想到这些,你们就该好好反思反思,那些无辜的小生命就该死于你们这些心肠狠毒的人手里吗?就算它们该死,也轮不到你们动手。我不知道你们知不知道,那些小生命临死之前会是什么样的神情?你们不知道,为什么?因为你们没血没肉,你们杀了那么多无辜的小动物,该死的人不是它们,而是你们,因为当你给它们东西的时候,他们会知道感恩。

也许你们会想,就是一条畜生,有什么好值钱的?杀就杀呗,反正还能给我赚点钱,你们这样想就错了,不只错,而且大错特错。对,他们虽然是畜生,它们好歹是条生命,对,它们虽不值钱,但它们不该死……

好啦,话不多说,我希望那些捕杀小动物的人,你们早一点改过自新,不然,你们早晚受到法律的制裁。

每个人至少拥有一个梦想,有一个理由去坚强,心若没有了栖息的地方,到哪里都是在流浪。水之一方,没有了昨天,今天,明天;海之一角,没有了前世,今生,来生;所思所议在刹那间全部盛开,又凋落…捧起时间的潮汐,埋葬以前的心愿,期待着明天会更好,至少我们会变得成熟了,感知到这个世界在微妙的变动。时间散落在平静的心湖中,荡起阵阵涟漪,一圈圈的希冀,勾勒出我们的人生蓝图。

不知明天会怎样?或许风和日丽,或许阴雨绵绵,亦或许狂风怒卷。但我们还是期待这它的到来,期待它给我们带来惊喜,人生就是由无数的未知构成。它犹如舞台上的一出戏,不同的是,在人生的舞台上演出是没有彩排的。

卡耐基说过:It'syourtakingpartinginthelifeandtheactionsbutnotyouroutcomethatcounts.没有凝固的生命,没有亘古的荒原,只要我们满怀期待,拥有梦想,任何的消沉都会绽放瑰丽的神奇,在没有色彩的地方创造色彩,在没有声音的地方创造声音,在没有奇迹的地方创造奇迹。

明天,真的会更好。

少年pi的全名叫:派西尼。莫利托。帕特尔,方便起见,就叫他派好了。

派是一个从小生活在动物园的孩子,一次,为了搬去加拿大,派一家与动物们登上了开往大洋彼岸的货船“齐姆楚姆号”。

天有不测风云,在一个风雨交加的早晨,船沉了。睡梦中的人们还不知道发生了什么,就沉入了这蔚蓝色的海洋。只有派与一只斑马,一只红猩猩,一只鬣狗,还有一只名叫理查德。帕克的成年孟加拉虎乘上了救生艇,

弱肉强食的生存法则毫不意外地在这里被印证。

一艘小小的救生艇自然无法满足他们的生存需求,所以自然而然的,鬣狗吃掉了斑马与红猩猩,有被老虎吃掉。只剩下派与理查德。帕克了。

我本以为派也会被老虎吃掉,之后老虎死于缺水,在之后全剧终。可看着剩下200多页纸的厚度,我便打消了这可笑的念头。

不出所料,奇迹发生了。

派与这只孟加拉虎,在这条长仅26英尺的小艇上和谐共存了几个月,直至获救。

看到这里,我不得不对派肃然起敬。他是如此的勇敢,坚强。换做是我,或许早就因老虎的利爪或缺水而死了,但他却能用自己仅有的一切,与一只老虎在一望无边的太平洋上共存,这需要多么强烈的求生意志,多么强大的自信心啊!

在对比一下自己,整日无所事事,得过且过,无抱负无追求,为什么派可以超越自己的极限?我想,是压力的缘故吧。

派的压力来自于死亡,为了生存下来,他可以发挥出自己的全部潜质,是死亡的压力拯救了他。

而我的压力主要来自父母和老师。只要成绩有些进步,就可以说失去了压力,一个失去压力的人一定不会有什么大成就,因为压力就像燃油,是我们前进时不可缺少的动力。没有了动力,我们只能停下,倒退,最终被淘汰。

有压力是好事,但也要适度。就像汽车超速了会被罚款,压力过大了,也会使我们不负重担。只有适当的压力加上灿烂的微笑,美好的未来才会向我们挥手。

所以,朋友们,让我们用双手去拥抱这可爱的压力吧。

无压力,不动力!

长大以后,我只能奔跑,一边失去,一边在寻找,明天你好,即使含着泪微笑。——题记

青岛一五年的第一场雪在一中校园里纷飞,我独自站在窗口望那“鹅毛”纷纷落落,心无感触似是无稽之谈,但是要我说出那其中的感触,我只能笑而不语。不是一个人独行惯了才独自赏雪,只是认为唯有一人才能体会到一片雪花飘荡在这万千孤独的迷茫。路漫漫,及行迷之未远,归。

喧闹的环境伴随着阶梯教室那扇门打开而渐渐平息。我望着一身材平平的男人向我们走来,在无尽的掌声中向我们鞠躬,那瞬间我是木讷的,为什么如此成功之人会这般谦逊,我眯起眼,妄想从其中汲取些许。身边的朋友无一不被外籍校长抓住了眼球,而我的目光一直停留在他的身上未曾离去。随着讲座的开始,那段往事渐渐地浮现在我们的眼前。听他讲到那坎坷崎岖的路程,我的眉头不由紧皱,心也随之触痛。的确!谁能想象到一双弹钢琴的手竟然曾经承担过这般的苦痛!董荣璨博士轻松的言语讲述着他在外奔波的三十年,而那些经历牵动着台下的我们每一个人的心。还好,一切的一切都是有用的,他成为了伟大的作曲家,钢琴家,艺术家,一个大写的中国人!

崇敬在我的眼眶流露,只是隔着那遥远的距离而无法传达,那炙热的情感流露无一不表达着我对他的敬仰之情!一曲现场创作像一股暖流涌向心头,简单的音符在他的手指下编织成婉转、悠扬的曲子,飘到我们的心中飘到我们的灵魂里!我的手指不由随着节奏敲打着桌面,用心去感受其中的情感。一曲《梁祝》回荡在耳旁,其中蕴含着的是三十多年的心血和汗水,满满的感情流露让我的内心有所触动,也许那天收获的不仅仅是听觉的盛宴,也是满满的内心感动。

临近一五年的尾声,忙忙碌碌的自己也似乎找到了目标。内心怀着那份信仰,马不停蹄地走着。不做无庸的事,不做无庸的人。时光荏苒,却冲刷不掉我内心怀揣的前进的激情;白驹过隙,只希望留下的是美好的回忆。怀揣着这份信念前进,让我强忍住泪水,高昂着头前进。我不畏艰难困苦,只望见了黎明的一缕曙光便会前行,那等待我的必定是我的信仰,在最后的最后,我们会相拥,拥抱明天!

我不是作曲家,无法用跳跃的音符谱写深情;我不是钢琴家,我不会用流畅的乐章流露传情;我不是艺术家,无法用高端的美展现自己。但是我心怀理想又怎么肯轻易折服?负面、消极的全都抛之脑后,趁现在,努力给自己“艺术人生”!

长大以后,我开始奔跑,即使含着泪微笑,但不远处的斑斓星光在闪烁,那便是我的信念,明天你好!

ted演讲稿篇20

布琳。布朗致力于研究人与人的关系——我们感同身受的能力、获得归属感的能力、爱的能力。在TED休斯敦一次富有感染力的幽默谈话中,她跟我们分享了她的研究发现,一个让她更想深入了解自己以及人类的发现,洞悉人性也更了解自己。同时建议父母,全心全意去爱,即使没有回报、即使很困难,也要勇敢面对,因为感到脆弱代表我还活着,我们要相信自己够好,绝对值得被爱。

那我就这么开始吧:几年前,一个活动策划人打电话给我,因为我当时要做一个演讲。她在电话里说:“我真很苦恼该如何在宣传单上介绍你。”我心想,怎么会苦恼呢?她继续道:“你看,我听过你的演讲,我觉得我可以称你为研究者,可我担心的是,如果我这么称呼你,没人会来听,因为大家普遍认为研究员很无趣而且脱离现实。”(笑声)好。然后她说:“但是我喜欢你的演讲,就跟讲故事一样很吸引人。我想来想去,还是觉得称你为讲故事的人比较妥当。”而那个做学术的,感到不安的我脱口而出道:“你要叫我什么?”她说:“我要称你为讲故事的人。"我心想:”为什么不干脆叫魔法小精灵?“(笑声)我说:”让我考虑一下。“我试着鼓起勇气。我对自己说,我是一个讲故事的人。我是一个从事定性研究的科研人员。我收集故事;这就是我的工作。或许故事就是有灵魂的数据。或许我就是一个讲故事的人。于是我说:”听着,要不你就称我为做研究兼讲故事的人。“她说:”哈哈,没这么个说法呀。“(笑声)所以我是个做研究兼讲故事的人,我今天想跟大家谈论的——我们要谈论的话题是关于拓展认知——我想给你们讲几个故事是关于我的一份研究的,这份研究从本质上拓宽了我个人的认知,也确确实实改变了我生活、爱、工作还有教育孩子的方式。

我的故事从这里开始。当我还是个年轻的博士研究生的时候,第一年,有位研究教授对我们说:”事实是这样的,如果有一个东西你无法测量,那么它就不存在。“我心想他只是在哄哄我们这些小孩子吧。我说:“真的么?”他说:“当然。”你得知道我有一个社会工作的学士文凭,一个社会工作的硕士文凭,我在读的是一个社会工作的博士文凭,所以我整个学术生涯都被人所包围,他们大抵相信生活是一团乱麻,接受它。而我的观点则倾向于,生活是一团乱麻,解开它,把它整理好,再归类放入便当盒里。(笑声)我觉得我领悟到了关键,有能力去创一番事业,让自己——真的,社会工作的一个重要理念是置身于工作的不适中。我就是要把这不适翻个底朝天每科都拿到A。这就是我当时的信条。我当时真的是跃跃欲试。我想这就是我要的职业生涯,因为我对乱成一团,难以处理的课题感兴趣。我想要把它们弄清楚。我想要理解它们。我想侵入那些我知道是重要的东西把它们摸透,然后用浅显易懂的方式呈献给每一个人。

所以我的起点是“关系”。因为当你从事了20xx年的社会工作,你必然会发现关系是我们活着的原因。它赋予了我们生命的意义。就是这么简单。无论你跟谁交流工作在社会执法领域的也好,负责精神健康、虐待和疏于看管领域的也好我们所知道的是,关系是种感应的能力——生物神经上,我们是这么被设定的——这就是为什么我们在这儿。所以我就从关系开始。下面这个场景我们再熟悉不过了,你的上司给你作工作评估,她告诉了你37点你做得相当棒的地方,还有一点——成长的空间?(笑声)然后你满脑子都想着那一点成长的空间,不是么。这也是我研究的一个方面,因为当你跟人们谈论爱情,他们告诉你的是一件让他们心碎的事。当你跟人们谈论归属感,他们告诉你的是最让他们痛心的被排斥的经历。当你跟人们谈论关系,他们跟我讲的是如何被断绝关系的故事。

所以很快的——在大约开始研究这个课题6周以后——我遇到了这个前所未闻的东西它揭示了关系以一种我不理解也从没见过的方式。所以我暂停了原先的研究计划,对自己说,我得弄清楚这到底是什么。它最终被鉴定为耻辱感。耻辱感很容易理解,即害怕被断绝关系。有没有一些关于我的事如果别人知道了或看到了,会认为我不值得交往。我要告诉你们的是:这种现象很普遍;我们都会有(这种想法)。没有体验过耻辱的人不具有人类的同情或关系。没人想谈论自己的糗事,你谈论的越少,你越感到可耻。滋生耻辱感的是一种“我不够好。"的心态——我们都知道这是个什么滋味:”我不够什么。我不够苗条,不够有钱,不够漂亮,不够聪明,职位不够高。“而支撑这种心态的是一种刻骨铭心的脆弱,关键在于要想产生关系,我们必须让自己被看见,真真切切地被看见。

你知道我怎么看待脆弱。我恨它。所以我思考着,这次是轮到我用我的标尺击溃它的时候了。我要闯进去,把它弄清楚,我要花一年的时间,彻底瓦解耻辱,我要搞清楚脆弱是怎么运作的,然后我要智取胜过它。所以我准备好了,非常兴奋。跟你预计的一样,事与愿违。(笑声)你知道这个(结果)。我能告诉你关于耻辱的很多东西,但那样我就得占用别人的时间了。但我在这儿可以告诉你,归根到底——这也许是我学到的最重要的东西在从事研究的数十年中。我预计的一年变成了六年,成千上万的故事,成百上千个采访,焦点集中。有时人们发给我期刊报道,发给我他们的故事——不计其数的数据,就在这六年中。我大概掌握了它。

我大概理解了这就是耻辱,这就是它的运作方式。我写了本书,我出版了一个理论,但总觉得哪里不对劲——它其实是,如果我粗略地把我采访过的人分成具有自我价值感的人——说到底就是自我价值感——他们勇于去爱并且拥有强烈的归属感——另一部分则是为之苦苦挣扎的人,总是怀疑自己是否足够好的人。区分那些敢于去爱并拥有强烈归属感的人和那些为之而苦苦挣扎的人的变量只有一个。那就是,那些敢于去爱并拥有强烈归属感的人相信他们值得被爱,值得享有归属感。就这么简单。他们相信自己的价值。而对于我,那个阻碍人与人之间关系的最困难的部分是我们对于自己不值得享有这种关系的恐惧,无论从个人,还是职业上我都觉得我有必要去更深入地了解它。所以接下来我找出所有的采访记录找出那些体现自我价值的,那些持有这种观念的记录,集中研究它们。

这群人有什么共同之处?我对办公用品有点痴迷,但这是另一个话题了。我有一个牛皮纸文件夹,还有一个三福极好笔,我心想,我该怎么给这项研究命名呢?第一个蹦入我脑子的是全心全意这个词。这是一群全心全意,靠着一种强烈的自我价值感在生活的人们。所以我在牛皮纸夹的上端这样写道,而后我开始查看数据。事实上,我开始是用四天时间集中分析数据,我从头找出那些采访,找出其中的故事和事件。主题是什么?有什么规律?我丈夫带着孩子离开了小镇,因为我老是陷入像杰克逊。波洛克(美国近代抽象派画家)似的疯狂状态,我一直在写,完全沉浸在研究的状态中。下面是我的发现。这些人的共同之处在于勇气。我想在这里先花一分钟跟大家区分一下勇气和胆量。勇气,最初的定义,当它刚出现在英文里的时候——是从拉丁文cor,意为心,演变过来的——最初的定义是真心地叙述一个故事,告诉大家你是谁的。所以这些人就具有勇气承认自己不完美。他们具有同情心,先是对自己的,再是对他人的,因为,事实是,我们如果不能善待自己,我们也无法善待他人。最后一点,他们都能和他人建立关系,——这是很难做到的——前提是他们必须坦诚,他们愿意放开自己设定的那个理想的自我以换取真正的自我,这是赢得关系的必要条件。

他们还有另外一个共同之处那就是,他们全然接受脆弱。他们相信让他们变得脆弱的东西也让他们变得美丽。他们不认为脆弱是寻求舒适,也不认为脆弱是钻心的疼痛——正如我之前在关于耻辱的采访中听到的。他们只是简单地认为脆弱是必须的。他们会谈到愿意说出"我爱你",愿意做些没有的事情,愿意等待医生的电话,在做完乳房X光检查之后。他们愿意为情感投资,无论有没有结果。他们觉得这些都是最根本的。

我当时认为那是背叛。我无法相信我尽然对科研宣誓效忠——研究的定义是控制(变量)然后预测,去研究现象,为了一个明确的目标,去控制并预测。而我现在的使命即控制并预测却给出了这样一个结果:要想与脆弱共存就得停止控制,停止预测于是我崩溃了——(笑声)——其实更像是这样。(笑声)它确实是。我称它为崩溃,我的心理医生称它为灵魂的觉醒。灵魂的觉醒当然比精神崩溃要好听很多,但我跟你说那的确是精神崩溃。然后我不得不暂且把数据放一边,去求助心理医生。让我告诉你:你知道你是谁当你打电话跟你朋友说:“我觉得我需要跟人谈谈。你有什么好的建议吗?“因为我大约有五个朋友这么回答:”喔。我可不想当你的心理医生。“(笑声)我说:”这是什么意思?“他们说:”我只是想说,别带上你的标尺来见我。“我说:”行。“

就这样我找到了一个心理医生。我跟她,戴安娜,的第一次见面——我带去了一份表单上面都是那些全身心投入生活的人的生活方式,然后我坐下了。她说:”你好吗?“我说:”我很好。还不赖。“她说:”发生了什么事?“这是一个治疗心理医生的心理医生,我们不得不去看这些心理医生,因为他们的废话测量仪很准(知道你什么时候在说真心话)。(笑声)所以我说:“事情是这样的。我很纠结。”她说:“你纠结什么?”我说:”嗯,我跟脆弱过不去。而且我知道脆弱是耻辱和恐惧的根源是我们为自我价值而挣扎的根源,但它同时又是欢乐,创造性,归属感,爱的源泉。所以我觉得我有问题,我需要帮助。“我补充道:”但是,这跟家庭无关,跟童年无关。“(笑声)“我只需要一些策略。”(笑声)(掌声)谢谢。戴安娜的反应是这样的。(笑声)我接着说:“这很糟糕,对么?”她说:“这不算好,也不算坏。”(笑声)“它本身就是这样。”我说:“哦,我的天,要悲剧了。”

(笑声)

(悲剧)果然发生了,但又没有发生。大概有一年的时间。你知道的,有些人当他们发现脆弱和温柔很重要的时候,他们放下所有戒备,欣然接受。(我要声明)一,这不是我,二,我朋友里面也没有这样的人。(笑声)对我来说,那是长达一年的斗争。是场激烈的混战。脆弱打我一拳,我又还击它一拳。最后我输了,但我或许赢回了我的生活。

然后我再度投入到了我的研究中,又花了几年时间真正试图去理解那些全身心投入生活的人,他们做了怎样的决定,他们是如何应对脆弱的。为什么我们为之痛苦挣扎?我是独自在跟脆弱斗争吗?不是。这是我学到的:我们麻痹脆弱——(例如)当我们等待(医生)电话的时候。好笑的是,我在Twitter微博和Facebook上发布了一条状态,“你怎样定义脆弱?什么会让你感到脆弱?“在1个半小时内,我收到了150条回复。因为我想知道大家都是怎么想的。(回复中有)不得不请求丈夫帮忙,因为我病了,而且我们刚结婚;跟丈夫提出要爱;跟妻子提出要爱;被拒绝;约某人出来;等待医生的答复;被裁员;裁掉别人——这就是我们生活的世界。我们活在一个脆弱的世界里。我们应对的方法之一是麻痹脆弱。

我觉得这不是没有依据——这也不是依据存在的唯一理由,我认为我们当代问题的一大部分都可以归咎于它——在美国历史上,我们是欠债最多,肥胖,毒瘾、用药最为严重的一代。问题是——我从研究中认识到——你无法选择性地麻痹感情。你不能说,这些是不好的。这是脆弱,这是悲哀,这是耻辱,这是恐惧,这是失望,我不想要这些情感。我要去喝几瓶啤酒,吃个香蕉坚果松饼。(笑声)我不想要这些情感。我知道台下传来的是会意的笑声。别忘了,我是靠“入侵”你们的生活过日子的。天哪。(笑声)你无法只麻痹那些痛苦的情感而不麻痹所有的感官,所有的情感。你无法有选择性地去麻痹。当我们麻痹那些(消极的情感),我们也麻痹了欢乐,麻痹了感恩,麻痹了幸福。然后我们会变得痛不欲生,我们继而寻找生命的意义,然后我们感到脆弱,然后我们喝几瓶啤酒,吃个香蕉坚果松饼。危险的循环就这样这形成了。

我们需要思考的一件事是我们是为什么,怎么样麻痹自己的。这不一定是指吸毒。我们麻痹自己的另一个方式是把不确定的事变得确定。宗教已经从一种信仰、一种对不可知的相信变成了确定。我是对的,你是错的。闭嘴。就是这样。只要是确定的就是好的。我们越是害怕,我们就越脆弱,然后我们变得愈加害怕。这件就是当今政治的现状。探讨已经不复存在。对话已经荡然无存。有的仅仅是指责。你知道研究领域是如何描述指责的吗?一种发泄痛苦与不快的方式。我们追求完美。如果有人想这样塑造他的生活,那个人就是我,但这行不通。因为我们做的只是把屁股上的赘肉挪到我们的脸上。(笑声)这真是,我希望一百年以后,当人们回过头来会不禁感叹:”哇!“

(笑声)

我们想要,这是最危险的,我们的孩子变得完美。让我告诉你我们是如何看待孩子的。从他们出生的那刻起,他们就注定要挣扎。当你把这些完美的宝宝抱在怀里的时候,我们的任务不是说:”看看她,她完美的无可挑剔。“而是确保她保持完美——保证她五年级的时候可以进网球队,七年级的时候稳进耶鲁。那不是我们的任务。我们的任务是注视着她,对她说,“你知道吗?你并不完美,你注定要奋斗,但你值得被爱,值得享有归属感。”这才是我们的职责。给我看用这种方式培养出来的一代孩子,我保证我们今天有的问题会得到解决。我们假装我们的行为不会影响他人。不仅在我们个人生活中我们这么做,在工作中也一样——无论是紧急救助,石油泄漏,还是产品召回——我们假装我们做的事对他人不会造成什么大影响。我想对这些公司说:嘿,这不是我们第一次牛仔竞技。我们只要你坦诚地,真心地说一句:"对不起,我们会处理这个问题。“

但还有一种方法,我把它留给你们。这是我的心得:卸下我们的面具,让我们被看见,深入地被看见,即便是脆弱的一面;全心全意地去爱,尽管没有任何担保——这是最困难的,我也可以告诉你,作为一名家长,这个非常非常困难——带着一颗感恩的心,保持快乐哪怕是在最恐惧的时候哪怕我们怀疑:”我能不能爱得这么深?我能不能如此热情地相信这份感情?我能不能如此矢志不渝?“在消极的时候能打住,而不是一味地幻想事情会如何变得更糟,对自己说:”我已经很感恩了,因为能感受到这种脆弱,这意味着我还活着。“最后,还有最重要的一点,那就是相信我们已经做得够好了。因为我相信当我们在一个让人觉得“我已经足够了”的环境中打拼的时候我们会停止抱怨,开始倾听,我们会对周围的人会更友善,更温和,对自己也会更友善,更温和。

这就是我演讲的全部内容。谢谢大家。

尊敬的老师们,亲爱的同学们:

大家好!

到底是剪短头发呢,还是继续留长发?我在镜子前来回踱步。

“当然是短发方便啦!”妈妈笑着说,“你头发越来越长了,打理起来也越来越麻烦。再说,尝试改变也是一件很美好的事哦!”

我又抬起头,望着镜中踌躇不安的自己和头上有些凌乱的长发,心想:改变为什么一定意味着失去呢?每天清晨,为了这一头长发,我常常要在镜前花费很多宝贵的时间。但是如果剪成了短发,不仅能节约时间,而且我还可以迎接一个崭新的模样,一个崭新的自我……

我下定了决心:改变!

于是,我坐在了理发店的转椅上,镜中的我露出心满意足的微笑。看着满地的碎发,我“如释重负”,一下子觉得世界焕然一新。看来,之前的担忧真是多余!

出了理发店,冬日的暖阳从云朵中露出微笑脸庞。我一边迈着欢快的步伐,一边在想:“改变,真好!”

这让我想起了另一件事。

以前,最让我焦虑的事情,就是在书房那“茫茫书海”中寻找一本急需的作业本。妈妈十分关心我,总是抽空帮我整理书房。但整理之后的日子里,书房总会时不时传来一连串问号:“妈妈,我的课外书呢?”“咦,我的练习册哪去了?”

于是,我尝试改变。从给每一本书归类到把书柜分格,从为每一本作业本“安家”,到给每一支笔找到“住所”……很快,我的书房中的每一位成员都有了“新家”。

从此,我都自己收拾房间。忙碌过后,我每次都感到疲倦,但内心却是无比快乐。因为我体验了“改变”:从妈妈为我的一切操劳,到我自己打理生活。我的房间越来越整洁,我也在改变中成长,越来越独立了。

生命中有许多需要改变的东西,我们要对改变充满信心,不能让多余的担心阻挡我们成长的步伐,因为改变让我们收获自信,收获希望,收获人生的多姿多态!改变,真好!

ted演讲稿篇23

在东京的这个学校,五岁大的孩子们能引发拥堵,窗户是留给圣诞老人爬进来的。让我们来看看:世界上最可爱的幼儿园,由建筑师TakaharuTezuka所设计。在这段演讲中,他向我们讲述了这一设计的由来以及它如何真正让孩子们的天性得到解放。

这是我们在20xx年设计的一个幼儿园。我们把它建成了一个环形。在屋顶上面,是一个无尽的循环。如果你是一名家长,你就知道,小孩儿们喜欢不停的转圈。那么这就是房顶的样子。

为什么我们要把它设计成这样呢?这家幼儿园的园长说:"不,我不想要护栏。”我说:“那不可能。”但他坚持说:“那要不……就在屋顶边做一圈向外延伸的防护网?这样它就能接住跌落的小孩儿?“(笑声)我说:“那不可能。”

然后,当然,政府的官员告诉我:“当然,你必须得有护栏。”但我们还是可以把那个防护网的想法在树上实现。那儿有三棵从屋顶穿出的树。我们被允许用绳索当作护栏。但是,当然,绳索对小孩儿来说根本没用。他们会故意掉进去。然后更多人掉进去,还有更多,更多……(笑声)有时会有40个小孩儿同时围着树一起玩儿。那个爬在树枝上的男孩儿,他很爱这棵树,一直在不停的啃树皮。(笑声)

当幼儿园里搞活动的时候,他们就坐在围栏的边缘(观看)。这画面从下面看起来很美。简直就是动物园里的猴子。(笑声)喂食时间到~(笑声)(鼓掌)

我们把房顶尽量做得低矮,因为我们想让孩子们在屋顶上玩,而不是缩在屋檐下。如果房顶太高,你看到的就只有天花板了。

还有洗脚的地方——那儿有很多种水龙头。你可以看到,有弹性的软管…让人忍不住想用它往朋友身上喷水玩,还有淋浴的喷头…还有前面的这种…是很普通的水龙头。但是如果你仔细看,这小男孩其实并没在洗他的靴子,他是在往靴子里灌水……(笑声)

这家幼儿园完全是开放的,几乎整年都开放着。它的内部和外部之间,没有明确的界限。因此,这意味着,基本上,这个建筑,就只有一个屋顶。同样的,它的教室之间也没有界限。所以那里没有任何听觉上的阻碍。要知道,如果你把很多小孩放进一个安静的封闭空间,他们中的一些人会变得非常紧张。但在这个幼儿园里,他们没有任何理由去紧张。因为到处都没有界限。

他们的园长说,如果角落里的那个男孩儿不想呆在教室里,我们就放他走。他最终会回来的,因为这是个圆,他会转回来的。(笑声)

最关键的是,通常在这种情况下,小孩儿会试图藏在某个地方。但在这里,他们走掉之后,就只能绕一圈回来。这是个自然的过程。

其次,我们认为,噪音是非常重要的。你得知道,小孩儿在噪音里睡得更香。他们是不会在安静的空间里睡着的。在这家幼儿园里,孩子们在课堂里表现出惊人的注意力。大家知道,我们人类原本就是在那种充满噪音的丛林里长大的。——他们需要噪音。你还能够在嘈杂的酒吧里跟朋友聊天。你本来就能够适应嘈杂的环境。

当今时代,我们一直在尝试要控制所有的事情。但在这里,它是完全开放的。你们也应该知道:我们能在零下二十度的冬天滑雪。夏天,你去游泳海边的沙子高达50摄氏度。我们就是这样适应环境的。而且我们人类是防水的。不可能因为一场雨就融化了。所以,我们认为小孩儿就该呆在室外。这才是我们对待他们的正确方式。

这是他们分隔教室的方式。他们本来应该帮助老师的。但…他们没有…(笑声)不是我把他放进去的……这就是教室了。还有洗手池。他们在水池边聊天。而且教室里总是有一些树的……一只猴子想要把另一只猴子钓上去。(笑声)看,猴子们。(笑声)每个教室都至少有一个天窗。这样在圣诞节的时候,圣诞老人才有地方爬下来。

这是幼儿园的附属建筑,就建在那个椭圆形幼儿园的旁边。这个建筑只有5米高,可是里面设计了7层的空间。当然,这导致它的天花板非常矮。因此我们不得不考虑安全问题。所以,我们放了两个孩子进去,一个女孩儿,一个男孩儿。他们努力地钻进去。他撞到头了。他没事。他的骨头很硬。他适应能力很强的。因为这是我儿子。(笑声)他还在试着看能不能安全地跳下去。然后我们放了更多孩子进去。

东京的堵车太糟糕了,你懂的。(笑声)前面那个司机,她还得好好学学开车。在这个年代,孩子们需要接触一些轻微的危险。因为在这种状况下,他们就会学会互相帮助。这就是社会。这些(教育)机会正是我们如今逐渐丧失的。

现在看这幅图,它展现了一个男孩在9:10到9:30之间的运动轨迹。这栋建筑的周长是183米。它真的已经不能算小了!所以这个男孩,一早上就运动了6000米。最令人惊讶的还不止这个。这家幼儿园里的孩子们平均运动距离是4000米。与大多数幼儿园相比,这里的孩子有着最高的运动能力。园长说了:“我们不需要督促他们进行户外锻炼。把他们放到屋顶上就行。就像放羊一样。“(笑声)他们就会不停地跑啊跑。(笑声)

我的观念就是,不要去“控制”他们,也不要过多地“保护”他们,——他们有时也需要摔倒,也需要受点伤。这样他们就会从中学到如何在这个世界上生存。我认为,建筑可以改变这个世界,可以改变人们的生活。这座幼儿园,就是其中一个尝试,它改变了孩子们的生活。

非常感谢。

尊敬的各位领导,各位同事们:

大家下午好。

我叫___,非常感谢各位领导和同仁的支持与厚爱,能够让我有机会站在这里,与大家分享这一刻的光荣与喜悦。

加入恒瑞这个大家庭已有两年又7个月的时间里,让我真正体会到了,恒瑞的温暖与关爱,以及恒瑞的企业文化,和对人才的关心、培养与重视。

今天能够站在这里发言,并且是代表优秀员工的发言,在这里我要感谢每一位帮助过我的领导和同事,是你们的支持帮助与信任,才使得今天的广东市场打开了一定的局面,在高端食品领域也逐步得到了客户的认可与支持。

20__年,在公司“团结、规范、执行、升级”工作方针下,我作为一名普通的业务员,能真真体会到市场带给企业的压力和给我的动力!其实从20__年6月份刚入公司开始,到7月份下广东市场开发高端食品行业,一方面我们恒瑞在这个新的市场、新的行业中,在没有基础,没有客户资源,没有样板客户等条件下,市场开括起来困难重重;一方面是客户不太信任我们产品,想要从其他客户手中抢到一部分市场,只有凭借公司过硬的产品和一颗执着的恒心,再加上各位领导及同仁们,始终站在我身后,给予了很多的帮助与支持,让我有幸坚持一路走了过来,没有半途而费。

事实上,对于我们这个变性淀粉销售行业而言,是一个出结果和成绩相对较为缓慢的过程,(就像竹子的生长一样,竹子用4年的时间仅仅长了3cm,在第五年开始,以每天30cm的速度疯狂的生长,仅仅用6周就可以长到15米,其实在前面的4年,竹子将根在土壤里延伸了数百米。)我们也是一样只要坚持不断的去前进,终归收获客户与业绩。业绩一点一点,一步一个台阶走出了一点成绩,从刚开始连续4月没业绩,到第5月的第一个客户才半吨货,半年才实现了3吨的业务量。曾经的一度灰心,是领导、同事们的支持、帮助下,通过努力20__年实现71吨的销量;20__年更是突破了300吨,并成功开发了6个新客户,可以说是从量变到质变的升级。

以上,也仅仅说明20__年的一点工作回顾,还谈不上成绩。20__年,坚持“强化、深化、细化”工作思路下,围绕高端品逐步体现出来的优势,加大业务销量和开发新客户的力度,以落实强化、深化、细化工作,我也力争在高端品领域实现自己更大的突破,力争实现600吨销量的目标任务。我相信,我能做到,同时,也鼓励新加入我们销售团队的同仁们,只要努力,只要坚持,付出总会得到回报的!

同时,我个人认为:恒瑞这个大平台是一个充满活力和正能量的企业,公司所提倡的孝贤文化,以及以人为本的理念,使我在工作中感到非常的愉快与轻松。各位领导和同事们的平易近人,使公司整个办公环境变得充满活力和激情。没有压抑感,这也是我来恒瑞两年多的时间里最大的感受,我很喜欢这种环境,也很珍惜这个平台和机会。我希望我们的恒瑞,我们的大家庭越来越好,越来越强大,只有这样我们的个人小家庭,才会更幸福温暖,更有钱景!大家也都明白大河无水小河干的道理,所以恒瑞的明天也是我们的未来。公司的发展与进步,离不开我们每个人的添砖加瓦!我们每个人都有责任和义务去为这个大家庭去贡献自己的一份力量。愿我们的公司,我们的恒瑞,在未来的日子里,一天比一天美好,一年比一年辉煌。

在此我也祝愿各位领导各位同事,在新的一年里,新年快乐,身体健康,万事如意!

在我们身边有许多动物,例如:小猫、小狗、小鸟……它们都是我们关爱的对象。

我家养着一只可爱的小狗,我把它取名叫小黑。他可是我最忠实的朋友。每次我放学回到家的时候,小狗就会蹲在地上向我摇摇尾巴,咪咪地笑,可爱极了!晚上的时候,我吃完了饭,就去喂小狗吃饭。小狗吃得津津有味,还不停地汪!汪!汪!好像在说:“这饭真好吃,谢谢你啦朋友!”

小狗还有一项本领,你知道吗?那就是抓小偷。晚上的时候小狗可是我家的“警察”。一旦有小偷进我们村,小狗就会发出警报,通知所有的警察们一起来抓小偷,到最后小偷投降了,小狗可就榜上有名了。

世界上有许多户人家,家里都养着一只只可爱的小动物。他们把小动物照顾得健健康康的,还把它们训练很聪明。但是有些人却把那可爱的小动物当成是自己的敌人,整天虐待小动物,对小动物进行了狠毒的“家法”,实在是太可气了!我希望在这个“大家庭”里,每个人都能保护这里的每一只动物,关心它,爱护它。

让我们把爱心相连,关爱这里的每一只动物吧!

大家好!我今天演讲的题目是《青春》。

青春如行云流水,淌指而过,抓不住也握不稳,因此青春也显得格外珍贵,容不得半点浪费,但亲爱的朋友,请不必感叹青春的柔弱易逝,她是如此富有生机与精彩。她能够支持你站稳岗位,负好己责,拼搏出你要的生活。那么正值青春的我们,就应该乘青春正值旺季,草长莺飞之时,怀揣着激情,勇敢的面对生活,燃放自己,用流逝的青春去换一个我们要的明天。

还记得刚来到大学的日子吗?想起来,不远,仿似昨天,可细细想下来,又觉得是好远,好像已经是好远的好久以前了。回味这一路走来,有高考后自己汗水没有白流的欣慰,有考入大学时的兴奋,有离开家遇见她们的悸动。当然,也有过难过与失意,或者悲伤和失落,因为学校的小道没有林荫,食堂大妈的手艺不合我们的胃口,教室桌椅的坐着不舒服等等。可是随着我们携手上课下课,吃饭玩耍,开开玩笑间,多出来的胡茬也悄悄的留下了岁月的痕迹的两年里,逝去的青春,我们渐渐熟悉,拥有了熟悉的笑脸,亲切的言语,可以曰人,可以曰家,可以曰天下。慢慢的那些细小的不满与失意也尽然被图书馆里的书香掩盖,翻阅一页页间,学习充满了我们青春的每一个角落。看似如此简单,琐碎,却也无不在努力勾勒出我们多姿多彩的青春。

此时,那些流年里的光景也忽隐忽现得很好看。原来拥有青春的我们是如此富有,因为年轻,就有资本,我们用来投资明天,投资下一个属于美好的自己。想着梦想,践行着一步两步,越走越远。放弃了叫嚣,学会了低头。放低了身段,学会了静修。看清自己要走的道路,研修我们要有的专业。装几本书,压压包,穿行于向左向右的知识之路,紧紧的身影,只因追求学海的博大。握几只笔,弯弯手,画摆于朝里朝外的锦绣蓝图,沙沙的响声,只为设计美好的明天。没有花前月下的甜蜜,也不羡慕牡丹花下的香醉,尽管单调,但却不会在等到将来有一天,青春一到用时方恨曾经虚度。我们青春,我们简单,我们过季时间,纯酿出自己的舞酒。

亲爱的朋友们,不可否认我们都迷茫过。因为这因为那,放纵过、难过过、冲突过、生气过、莫名过,可是在每一个夜晚过后,新的一天又如约而至,又有一天的时间来改变改善,那么我们还有什么理由继续生气、放纵…以至于浪费我们如此珍贵的青春。青春是短暂的,但是就是再短暂的时光也没有借口在我们的生命里虚度。我们要尽青春之力,负生命之责,付出自己,馈赠给予,收获人生财富,留着在以后的岁月给我们成长和成熟提供一个契机。那么同学,如果你还在迷茫,抛弃迷茫吧,把握人生的航向,牢记勤字当头,不懈摇桨,搏击涛海大浪,泛舟人生。用我们的青春和生命奏响时代的强音,用我们的聪明和勇气扬起理想的风帆,打开成功的阀门,让美好的下一刻顺流而来,绘画出人生精彩的篇章。

我的演讲完了,谢谢!

ted演讲稿篇27

尊敬的各位教师,亲爱的同学们:

大家下午好!今天是个特殊的日子,因为从今天起我们就要步入一个新的阶段,我们就要踏上了人生的新里程,我们就要放飞我们的青春梦想,我们就有书写我们的青春诗篇。

五月,总有一种情怀在弥漫,总有一种坚定的信念在升腾。14根蜡烛照亮了青春这块人生旅途的里程碑,我们相约在青春的起跑线,为这段韶华岁月立下无悔的誓言,整装待发。童年是美好的,但我们无法永久停留在那里。父母和教师都是爱我们的,但却不得不从我们成年的生活中逐渐隐退。我们终究要长大,终究要学会独立,学会自己去面对生活中的困难与挫折。在过去的14年里,我们更多的是在家庭和学校的关爱和帮助下学习、生活、成长的。父母问寒问暖、无微不至的关怀使我们生活在爱的怀抱里,教师严厉善意的教诲让我们在学习知识的同时,懂得了更多的人生道理。一直以来,都是父母为孩子操劳,丝毫都不计较地任劳任怨,本能地付出,可是年少的我们习以为常之后,便心安理得地享受父母的呵护,忘了其实自己,也应该去做些什么。现在,长大的我们要学会为父母分担一件家务,为父母献上一束鲜花,每天给父母一个微笑,感谢父母给我们如此美好的生命和幸福的生活。

青春来了,像是冉冉升起的太阳,朝气蓬勃,充满希望。操场上奔跑的身影,日渐成熟的气息,动感的青春刺激着身体的每个细胞,汗水与笑容把青春的本色塑造。无论何时何地,我们都要拥有责任感,怀有一颗感恩的心。提到青春,很少会有人把它和责任联系在一起。青春是热情张狂,而责任却冰冷坚硬;青春是神采飞扬,责任却让人眉宇紧锁;青春的你以挥霍光阴来显示做人的洒脱,而责任却让人感喟人生的厚重与疲惫。但青春和责任就这样统一到了我们青年身上。孝顺父母是我们的责任,尊敬教师是我们的责任,帮助同学是我们的责任,努力学习是我们的责任青春苦短,人生路长,让我们勇敢地担负起自己的责任和使命。青春与责任同在,青春与感恩同在。正是因为感恩才使得我们的家庭和社会在付出、感激和回报。在初中学习阶段的特殊时期,我们要再努力,争取中考取得好成绩,进入自己理想的学校深造,这不但对我们的未来会产生重要影响,也是对父母和教师们多年培育的一种最好的感激和最大的回报。

不管我们将来上什么学校,做什么工作,一定要把道德修养放在头等重要的位置,要牢记,健全的人格和端正的人品永远是第一位的。品德是向导,决定着人生的发展方向。没有好的品质作保障,事业不可能成功。由此,无论何时何地都要遵纪守法,加强修养,做一个有益于个人、有益于家庭、有益于社会的合格公民。

在今后的人生旅途中,我认为有一种精神是让我们必胜的法宝,那就是:时刻保持永不言败的拼搏精神。现在的很多同学缺乏自信,因为依赖父母和教师已经成了一种习惯,独立生存能力弱化。希望同学们永远保持自信,任何时候都不要轻易说这件事对我已经太晚了。每一次尝试都可能成为我们取得成功的新的起跑线。要相信自己,相信未来,明天属于我们!青春就像一只展翅高飞的雄鹰,不知疲倦,向着云海上的每一个高度挺进,不论日月沉浮,心有多大,天地就有多大。我们在最广阔的天地唱响青春的乐曲,放飞青春的梦想。我们用不懈的努力,无穷的追求,显示着青春的力量。

青春是人生最美丽的风景,当我们留恋美景时,殊不知时光不尽地飞逝,我们懂得了青春的易逝,顿悟岁月的蹉跎。青春的我们意气风发,怀揣着对生活最美好的憧憬。青春的我们骄傲但不能狂妄,我们要有攀上顶峰的决心和勇气,用理性奠定青春的基石张扬美丽的个性。因为年轻,所以我们经得起考验。即使前面荆棘丛生,我们也无所畏惧,背起梦想的行囊,与伙伴携手共行,一路引吭高歌。困难挫折鼓动着我们奋发超越,成为我们青春的强音:竹密岂妨流水过,山高怎阻野云飞?

青春这个特殊的年龄告诉我们要用智慧填充头脑,用知识积攒生命的能量。学会学习,学会生活,学会做人,自强不息,学无止境。

让我们乘风破浪,放飞青春的梦想。奋勇当先,莫负青春岁月。生命在于舞动,只有敢于追求,只有不悔平庸,才会有云开月明,才会有新的阳光。同学们,今天我们许下这青春宣言,明天我们就去书写青春的诗篇!

ted演讲稿篇28

大家好!

有位哲人说得好:如果你不能成为大道,那就当一条小路;如果你不能成为太阳,那就当一颗星星。决定成败的不是尺寸的大小,而在于做一个的你。

也许你常常抱怨自己没有怡人的相貌,没有动人的歌喉,没有惊人的壮举,没有骄人的成绩,没有……也许我们每个人都有自己无法实现的梦想,也许理想和现实总存在着差距。那么,面对这些,你是无奈,是悲痛,还是积极进取?我想每一位有上进心的人都是不甘沉沦的。

再次回顾哲人那段话,我想,大道固然引人注目,但小路也自有小路的风味;太阳虽然被人高歌,受人关注,但哪一颗星星不是“太阳”?只不过它距离我们太遥远罢了,而实际上,它或许比太阳更大,更亮。

总之,社会需要各种人才,每个人都有适合自己的位置。我们不必去追求那些遥不可及的梦想,只要做一个真实的、的你就可以了,不是吗?

ted演讲稿篇29

大家好!

让我们来问自己一个问题,如果上天给你一次重新选择的机会,你会愿意做谁?是自己还是别人?

记得在小学的一节心理课上,我们的心理老师也这么问过我们。当时我们都不假思索地写在了纸上。统计结果是,全班30个人,29个人是愿意做别人,只有1个人愿意做自己。

为什么不愿意做自己?也许你觉得自己太过于平凡了,但是,万物不都是这样吗?一棵小草是平凡的,它只是默默地生长,任人践踏。野花是平凡的,也许它一直是个被忽略的角色,它比其他的花更不起眼,它没有玫瑰的娇艳,没有百合的清香,也没有玉兰这般的高贵,可它同样能开出属于自己的一片天。平凡,不等于我们不可以创造自己的不平凡,平凡,不等于我们不幸福。幸福的人不一定愿意做自己,但愿意做自己的人一定很幸福。

既然知道我永远是我,不可能是别人,那么就快乐地做自己。做自己,本就是一种幸福!

ted演讲稿篇31

敬爱的老师,亲爱的同学:

每一天清晨太阳都会从东边升起,到了傍晚就会从西边落下,这个没有任何一个人能够改变,同样我们没法让时间停止,也没不可能让别人怎摸样,唯一能改变的,仅有自己!

小的时候,我总会问别人这样一个问题:你觉得我好不好,那莫在你心中我排第几呢?尤其是对自己亲近的人,如果他们的回答让我不高兴的话,我总会很生气很生气,下意识的觉得他们不喜欢我,所以就拼命的让他们改变看法,谁出我满意的答案!并且让他们都也必须要为我而改变,否则我会很难过的!

此刻想起来的确是可笑至极了,可是在今日我仍会向好朋友问这样的问题。

可是初中毕竟不是以前了,渐渐的我和身边的同学变得很疏远,无论是男生还是女生,无论是班里的同学还是年级里面的,关系都不是很好,那种感觉真的好难受,我想哭,可是却不敢。

我不明白为什末,我无力去对别人说你应当,你必须之类的话了。

不明白为什末,一霎那间我忽然懂得了什莫,我想要求自己做些深末。可能是因为此刻的环境吧,我不再在乎别人的看法,只做自己而已。

我以往无数次的想过要改变自己,可是好像都失败了,我不想明白原因,只想做我自己,所以此刻的我不再在乎别人的看法,已经不再在乎很多事情了,我不明白这算不算改变,如果是的话,那末是变好还是坏!

可是我清楚的体会到此刻的生活比以前简便很多,趣味很多。

是啊,即使很多人都认为江山易改本性难移,可是改变自己还是比改变别人要容易得多吖!
