I want to discuss with you this afternoon why you're going to fail to have a great career. (Laughter)
今天下午我想和你们讨论一下你为什么不会成就伟业。(笑声)
I'm an economist. I do dismal. End of the day, it's ready for dismal remarks. I only want to talk to those of you who want a great career. I know some of you have already decided you want a good career. You're going to fail, too — (Laughter) — because — Goodness, you're all cheery about failing. (Laughter) Canadian group, undoubtedly. (Laughter) Those trying to have good careers are going to fail, because, really, good jobs are now disappearing. There are great jobs and great careers, and then there are the high-workload, high-stress, bloodsucking, soul-destroying kinds of jobs, and practically nothing in between.
我是个经济学家。我让人心情低落。一天过完了，准备好听听让人心情低落的评论。我只想和你们想要成就伟业的那些人谈。我知道你们有些人已经决定了你们想要一个成功的事业。你们也会失败的-(笑声)-因为-天呐，你们听到失败都这么高兴。(笑声)无疑是加拿大人。(笑声)想事业有成的人会失败，因为，真的，现在好工作都在消失。有好工作，和好事业，也有工作量大，压力大，吸食血液，侵蚀灵魂的那种工作，而且几乎没有工作能好点的。
So the people looking for good jobs are going to fail. I'm going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why you're going to, why you're going to fail. First reason is that no matter how many times people tell you, "If you want a great career, you have to pursue your passion, you have to pursue your dreams, you have to pursue, the greatest fascination in your life," you hear it again and again and then you decide not to do it. It doesn't matter how many times you download Steven J.'s Stanford commencement address, you still look at it and decide not to do it.
所以想找好工作的人会失败。我谈谈那些寻找伟业的人，你们为什么要寻找，为什么会失败。第一个原因是不管多少次别人告诉你，“如果你想成就伟业，你就必须追随你的热忱，你必须追随你的梦想，你必须追随你人生中最大的吸引，“你听过这句话一遍又一遍，然后你决定不去这样做。不管你下载多少次Steven J在斯坦福大学的开学演讲，你还是看看然后决定不去做。
I'm not quite sure why you decide not to do it. You're too lazy to do it. It's too hard. You're afraid if you look for your passion and don't find it, you'll feel like you're an idiot, so then you make excuses about why you're not going to look for your passion. And they are excuses, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to go through a whole long list, your creativity, and thinking of excuses not to do what you really need to do if you want to have a great career.
我不太确定你为什么决定不去做。你太懒了。这事太难。你害怕如果你去寻找梦想然后找不到，你会觉得你像个白痴，所以你给自己找借口，为什么你不去追寻你的梦想。这些都是借口，女士们先生们。我们要列一个长单子，你的创造力，想想你不去做成就伟业该做的事情的借口。
So, for example, one of your great excuses is, "Well, great careers are really and truly, for most people, just a matter of luck, so I'm going to stand around, I'm going to try to be lucky, and if I'm lucky, I'll have a great career. If not, I'll have a good career." ……此处隐藏1486个字……, kid. Might fail, kid. Don't make a lot of money at that, kid. You know, I don't know, kid, you should think about that again, kid, you're so good at math, why don't you — "
然后你说什么?你说，你说，“嗯…那样比较不保险，孩子。有可能会失败，孩子。挣不了大钱，孩子。你知道的，我不知道，孩子，你应该再想想，孩子，你数学这么好，为什么不-“
And the kid interrupts you, and says, "But it is my dream. It is my dream to do this." And what are you going to say? You know what you're going to say? "Look kid. I had a dream once, too, but — but." So how are you going to finish the sentence with your "but"? "… But. I had a dream too, once, kid, but I was afraid to pursue it." Or, are you going to tell him this? "I had a dream once, kid. But then you were born." (Laughter)
然后你孩子打断你，说，”但是那是我的梦想。我梦想就是成为魔术师。“然后你要说什么?你知道你要说什么吗? ”你看，孩子，我过去也有过梦想。但是-但是。“所以你想怎么用”但是“结束你的句子? ”…但是，我过去也有过梦想，孩子，但是我没敢去追随。“还是，你想告诉他这个? ”我过去有梦想，孩子。但是之后你出生了。“(笑声)
(Laughter) (Applause)
(笑声)(掌声)
Do you, do you really want to use your family, do you really ever want to look at your spouse and your kid and see your jailers? There was something you could have said to your kid when he or she said, "I have a dream." You could have said, looked the kid in the face, and said, "Go for it, kid, just like I did." But you won't be able to say that because you didn't. So you can't. (Laughter)
你真的，真的想利用你的家庭，你真的想把你的伴侣，和你的孩子当成狱卒吗?你其实可以这么跟你孩子讲。当他/她说”我有个梦想“的时候，你可以说，面对你的孩子，说，”去追随它吧，孩子，就像我那样。“但是你没法那么说，因为你没去追随梦想。所以你不能那么说。(笑声)
And so the sins of the parents are visited on the poor children. Why will you seek refuge in human relationships as your excuse not to find and pursue your passion? You know why. In your heart of hearts, you know why, and I'm being deadly serious. You know why you would get all warm and fuzzy and wrap yourself up in human relationships. It is because you are — You know what you are.
然后父母的罪恶就在可怜的孩子们身上应验了。你为什么把人际关系当成你不去追随你的热忱的借口?你自己知道为什么。在你内心的内心，你知道为什么，而且我现在非常严肃。你知道你为什么会在人际关系中层层包裹自己。这是因为你是-你知道你是什么。
You're afraid to pursue your passion. You're afraid to look ridiculous. You're afraid to try. You're afraid you may fail. Great friend, great spouse, great parent, great career. Is that not a package? Is that not who you are? How can you be one without the other? But you're afraid.
你不敢去追求梦想。你害怕自己看起来像个疯子。你不敢去尝试。你害怕失败。好朋友，好伴侣，好父母，伟业。不是打包在一起的吗?这难道不是你?你怎么能符合其中一个却不符合另一个?但是你害怕。
And that's why you're not going to have a great career, unless — unless, that most evocative of all English words — unless. But the unless word is also attached to that other, most terrifying phrase, "If only I had … " "If only I had … " If you ever have that thought ricocheting in your brain, it will hurt a lot.
这就是为什么你不会成就伟业，除非-除非，最引人回忆的词-除非。但是除非这个词和另外一个最可怕的短语是连着的，”如果我当初…“ ”如果我当初…“如果你曾经有过这个想法在你脑海里回旋，它会特别伤人。
So, those are the many reasons why you are going to fail to have a great career, unless …
所以，这些就是你为什么不能成就伟业的众多原因。除非…
Unless.
除非。
Thank you. (Applause)
谢谢。(掌声)
