Be an Attacker
做一個進攻者
美國在線前首席執(zhí)行官史蒂夫·凱斯在北卡羅來納大學教堂山分校2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
So the key is to keep learning. Be curious. Be open. Be flexible. Let your life unfold as a series of chapters. Don’t be so fixated on a specific ending that you neglect to open the door when opportunity knocks.
因此,關(guān)鍵就是要不斷學習。要求知好學,要虛懷若谷,要靈活變通。要讓你們的人生呈現(xiàn)出一段段不同的篇章。不要固守在某個結(jié)局上,而忘了在機遇敲門時去打開那扇門。
Relationships Matter
人際關(guān)系非同小可
美國航空公司首席執(zhí)行官威廉·帕克在范德堡大學歐文商學院2013年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
Be the person people want on their team. Be the person people want to work for someday. And be that person all the time to everyone. It will make your life more pleasant and it will certainly help your career.
做一個被團隊需要的人。做一個有一天人們會愿意為你效勞的人。每時每刻都要做這樣的人,對每個人都要始終如一。這將令你的人生更加愉悅,并會有助于你的事業(yè)。
Get On a Rocket Ship Whenever You Get the Chance
一有機會就要登上飛船
臉譜網(wǎng)首席運營官謝麗爾·桑德伯格在哈佛商學院2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
Build your skills, not your resume. Evaluate what you can do, not the title they’re going to give you. Do real work. Take a sales quota, a line role, an ops job, don’t plan too much, and don’t expect a direct climb. If I had mapped out my career when I was sitting where you are, I would have missed my career.
充實你的技能,而不是填充你的簡歷。評價自己的能力,而不要評價他們給你的頭銜。做實事。接下一個銷售指標,一個邊緣化職位,一個實際操作崗位,不要好高騖遠,別指望一步登天。如果當我坐在你們的位置上時就規(guī)劃好我的職業(yè)生涯,我會錯過我現(xiàn)在的事業(yè)。
What Is Most Worthwhile in Life Does Not Have a Price
生命中最珍貴的東西是無價的
卡爾索集團主席卡洛斯·斯利姆·埃盧在喬
治·華盛頓大學2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
Success is not being recognized by others. It is not about an external opinion. It is about an internal state of being. It is the harmony between the soul and our emotions that are fed by love, family, friendship, authenticity, and honesty. The fundamental and permanent values that are far superior to professional, economic, social or political success.
成功不是由別人來認定的。它無關(guān)外界的看法,而是關(guān)乎內(nèi)心的狀態(tài),是被愛、親情、友情、真實及坦誠滋養(yǎng)的靈魂與情感的和諧共生,是一種根本的、永恒的價值準則,遠勝過事業(yè)上、財富上、社交上和政治上的成功。
Be an Adorer of Life
做一個熱愛生活的人
谷歌執(zhí)行董事長埃里克·施密特在波士頓大學2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
Life is not lived in the glow of a monitor. Life is not a series of status updates. Life is not about your friend count—it’s a friend who actually you can count on.
生活不是整日對著電腦顯示器,也不是不停地更新狀態(tài)。生活中最重要的不是你的朋友的數(shù)量,而是有一個你可以依賴的朋友。
To Have Different Chapters in Your Life
人生中要有不同的篇章
MTV電視網(wǎng)前首席執(zhí)行官湯姆·弗雷斯頓在圣邁克斯學院2012年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
I encourage you all to embrace all the twists and turns that await you and do not to get stuck on any one path or any one way of seeing things. Along the way, as you are writing the story of your life, remind yourself that a great life almost always consists of many different chapters. So be sure to have them.
我鼓勵你們?nèi)ソ邮芮胺降却銈兊目部啦ㄕ?,不要一條路走到底,也不要用一成不變的眼光去看待事物。當你們譜寫自己的人生故事時,要記住,偉大的人生幾乎都是由許多不同的篇章組成的。所以一定要擁有這些不同的篇章。
Make Change Your Ally
與變化為友
施樂集團首席執(zhí)行官烏蘇拉·伯恩斯在麻省理工學院2011年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
Set your sights on changing the world—in leaving this planet a little better than you found it. That need not be as grandiose as it sounds. It can take the form of getting involved with one of the big ideas of our time, or working for an organization that creates decent jobs for its workers, or raising a family that will carry good values into the future.
要立志于改變世界—讓這個世界變得更加美好一些。這話聽上去有些浮夸,但事實并非如此。只需要你參與到我們這個時代的某個偉大設(shè)想中去,抑或是在一家為員工創(chuàng)造體面就業(yè)機會的機構(gòu)工作,抑或是撫育一個家庭,將美德延續(xù)到未來。
Do Not Lean Back, Lean In
勇往直前,不要退縮
臉譜網(wǎng)首席運營官謝麗爾·桑德伯格在巴納德學院2011年畢業(yè)典禮上的演講
We will never close the achievement gap until we close the ambition gap. But if all young women start to lean in, we can close the ambition gap right here, right now, if every single one of you leans in. Leadership belongs to those who take it. Leadership starts with you.
要想與男性取得一樣的成就,那就要填平志向上的鴻溝。但如果所有年輕女性都開始積極行動起來,我們此時此刻就能跨越鴻溝,如果你們每一個人都為之努力的話。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)權(quán)屬于那些敢于擔當?shù)娜?。領(lǐng)導(dǎo)權(quán)要在你們手中開啟。
