財富精英勵志演講 第77期:計算讓生命有意義的事情(1)

[00:02:27]I'm going to talk about the simple truth in leadership in the 21st century. In the 21st century, we need to actually look at 我要講述的是在21世紀(jì)中關(guān)于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的一個簡單的道理。在21世紀(jì)， [00:09:55]and what I'm actually going to encourage you to consider today -- is to go back to our school days when we learned how to count. 實際上我們需要看重的--也是我今天鼓勵你們考慮的--回到我們上學(xué)的日子，在那時我們學(xué)習(xí)了如何算數(shù)。 [00:16:41]But I think it's time for us to think about what we count. Because what we actually count truly counts. 但實際上我認(rèn)為，是時候考慮下我們要算些什么。因為那些我們被我們算的東西才是真正有價值的。 [00:23:31]Let me start by telling you a little story. This is Van Quach. She came to this country in 1986 from Vietnam. 先讓我給你們講一個小故事吧。這是溫.果奇。她在1986年從越南來到美國。 [00:30:55]She changed her name to Vivian because she wanted to fit in here in America. Her first job was at an inner-city motel in San Francisco as a maid. 她改了個新名字，薇薇安因為這樣她想更好地融入美國社會。她的第一份工作是在三藩市市中心的一個汽車旅館當(dāng)女傭。 [00:39:33]I happened to buy that motel about three months after Vivian started working there. So Vivian and I have been working together for 23 years. 在薇薇安在那兒工作了大約三個月后，我恰巧買下了那個汽車旅館。也就是說實際上，我和她一起工作了23年之久。 [00:47:42]With the youthful idealism of a 26-year-old, in 1987, I started my company and I called it Joie de Vivre, a very impractical name, 我26歲，正是年輕、充滿理想主義情懷的時候1987年，我創(chuàng)辦了我的第一間公司，取名為joiedevivre（法語：生活的樂趣），一個花哨但并不實用的名字， [00:55:12]because I actually was looking to create joy of life. 因為我的本意是想去創(chuàng)造生活的樂趣。 [00:59:26]And this first hotel that I bought, motel, was a pay-by-the-hour, no-tell motel in the inner-city of San Francisco. 我買下的第一個酒店，是個汽車旅館，是一個計時付費(fèi)的，人人都愿意住宿的旅館。坐落在三藩市的市中心。在 [01:08:18]As I spent time with Vivian, I saw that she had sort of a joie de vivre in how she did her work. 我和薇薇安交往的過程中我發(fā)現(xiàn)她總能從她的工作中找到生活的樂趣。 [01:13:35]It made me question and curious: How could someone actually find joy in cleaning toilets for a living? 這使我很好奇并且困惑：一個人怎么能在清潔廁所這種工作中找到樂趣呢？ [01:21:52]So I spent time with Vivian, and I saw that she didn't find joy in cleaning toilets. 因此我與薇薇安呆在一起，后來我發(fā)現(xiàn)她并不是在清潔廁所時找到樂趣。 [01:26:15]Her job, her goal and her calling was not to become the world's greatest toilet scrubber. 她所追求的目標(biāo)和價值并不是成為這世界上最成功的廁所刷洗工。
