饒舌詩人Prince Ea激情演講—考試成績并不代表什么

Your son is a failure , he`s barely passing my class, and with grades like this .

你的兒子是個失敗的人，他幾乎從來沒有通過我的課，都是這樣的分數(shù)。

I`m just not sure what kind of future He`s gonna`have.

我不確定將來會怎么樣.

What do you have to say for yourself?

你還有什么好說的？

You`re supposed to graduate this year. Listen to Mr. Johnson, What kind of future do you think you`re going to have ?

你應該今年畢業(yè)的，聽聽約翰先生說的，你覺得你會有什么樣的未來？

With all due respect, Don`t call me a “FAILURE”. Failure is an event, not a person,

恕我直言,不要定義我是“失敗者”。失敗是一件事，不是一個人。

In fact, and you talk about the future Mr. Johnson, But you`re not preparing us for that

事實上，約翰先生，你談的未來,但是你沒有為此做好準備·····

Excuse me ?

什么？

Just listen to what I`m saying···

聽聽我要說的事情····

This should be good.

最好那樣。

Would you agree that, In the future, most careers will become automated?

你同意····大多數(shù)職業(yè)將變?yōu)樽詣踊模?/p>

Yes `` so ?

是得，那又怎樣？

So the people who succeed will have to be curious, innovative, resilient to adapt to new changes.

所以成功的人必須學會好奇，創(chuàng)新，能復原適應新的變化

What`s your point?

你想說什么？

My point is ,the focus in the this school, is not on that````it is on regurgiating information and test taking, And that`s just real,,,, But in today`s world, creativity is the most important leadership skill.

我的意思是，這種學習的集中并不是`````而是反謅信息并進行考試,這是真的···但是在今天，創(chuàng)造力才是最重要的領導力。

Oh, that`s how you feel?

這就是你的感受？

You don`t have to believe me. But maybe you will believe the 1500 executives, Who recently said: creativity is the most important leadership skill.

你可以不相信我，但是你可相信1500個執(zhí)行者，他們最近說，創(chuàng)造力是最重要的領導力。

See, pretty soon, no one will be hired because of what they know, because who cares what you know or if you`ve memorized a fact```

看著吧，很快，沒人會被雇傭，因為他們知道，沒人在乎你知道什么，或者你記住什么事實···

We`ve get google for that, in the future, people will be hired because of what they can do with their knowledge. Can they creative solve real world problems, not just follow instructions or directions and bubble in multiple choice.

我們已經(jīng)有了谷歌，在未來，人們被雇傭是因為他們用自己的知識做什么。他們能不能創(chuàng)造性的解決世界問題,而不是按照指南針或者方向在多選題中選擇。

So mom that`s why I`m stressed`cause, these robotic tasks we learned in school should stop.

所以媽媽，為什么我壓力大，是因為，我們在學校的這些機械化的任務，應該停止了。

Because no one can do a robot`s job, better than a robot.

因為沒有人能做機器的工作，比機器人做的還好.

Billionaire founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma said that we should not compete with artificial intelligence, but instead focus on developing unique human intelligence.

阿里巴巴的創(chuàng)始人是個億萬富翁，馬云說過我們不應該和人工智能競爭，而是應該專注的發(fā)展人類獨一無二的能力。

Mr. Johnson, DRILLS are for teeth not the human mind.

約翰先生，鉆孔機是給牙齒用的，而不是用在人類思想上的。

So these repetitive, knowledge-based tasks we must leave behind.

所以這些方面來說，以知識為基礎的任務，我們不需扔掉了。

Or in the future, you`re gonna find a lot of people graduating out of your class.

或者在未來，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)很多人從你的班級畢業(yè)，

Right into the unemployment lint.

是的，直接失業(yè)。

See many top companies today dont`t look at grades. Mom, that old way is expiring.

可以看見，今天很多頂級公司都不看成績，媽媽，舊方法到期了。

Google has been quoted as saying GPA`s are worthless criteria for hiring.

谷歌被人引用說，GPA是沒有用的。

Founder of Tesla, Elon Musk agrees.

特斯拉的創(chuàng)始人，艾隆馬斯克也同意。

So I say this with unease and sorrow, if you continue to teach today as you taught yesterday.

所以我懷著不安和悲傷說如果你今天繼續(xù)這么教就像你昨天教的那種方法。

You rob us students of tomorrow.

你就綁架了我們的明天。

Mr. Johnson I`m going to keep it real with you, sometimes sitting in your class is tough. I`m constantly thinking , if I don`t look up at the clock, maybe it`ll speed up. So I listen to you do my work and pay attention. Feeling like an hour to have gone by but it was only three minutes.

約翰先生，我要繼續(xù)認真和你說，有時候坐在你的課堂上很難過。我一直在想，如果我不一直盯著時鐘看，或者就會過得快一些。所以我聽你說,認真做我的作業(yè)，認真聽講。感覺好像過去一個小時，但是其實就過去三分鐘。

So if you wonder why we`re bored in class, look````You want to get a kid hate reading? Give`em this : A school textbook.

如果你想知道我們?yōu)槭裁瓷险n覺得無聊，看····你想讓一個孩子討厭閱讀嗎？給他們學校課本。

And some people think it`s our fault, and that hurts me, They say,”you can lead a horse to water but you can`t make them drink .”

有人覺得這是我們的錯，這讓我很受傷，他們說，你可你把馬引到河邊，但是你無法讓他們喝水。

And to that I say no. Firstly, you can put salt in that horse`s hay and make him thirsty.

對此，我說不，首先你可以把鹽放到馬的干草里讓他口渴。

And if you bring joy in your classroom, you can make any bad student, nerdy. As he or she discovers the beauty of truly learning.

如果你把歡樂帶進教室，你可以讓所有壞孩子，變成呆子。他或者她發(fā)現(xiàn)真正學習的美。

Mr. Johnson I mean no disrespect, you have the most important job on this planet. You build, create and save lives, but if you really care about my future, like you say, then you have to fully commit and ask yourself honestly. How do I prepare a child for a future, that doesn`t yet exist.

約翰先生，我無意冒犯，你有這個星球上最重要的工作，你創(chuàng)立，創(chuàng)造并且挽救生命，但是如果你真的關心我的未來，正如你所說，然后你必須全心承擔并且誠實的問自己，怎么讓一個孩子準備好迎接未來，那個還是存在的。

Here`s a hint, the answer is not found in this , it`s using this（指思維）and this（指心）.

這是提示，答案不會在這里邊，用這里和這里。

See in the future, we will need more passion and compassion. People with inspired hearts and wisdom to uplift this planet.

看看未來，我們需要更多的熱情和憐憫。擁有靈感和智慧的人會提升這個星球。

And mom , I love you . but can I be real?

媽媽，我愛你，我能做真正的自己嗎？

Go ahead.

繼續(xù)。

You wanna`know one of the biggest factors for childhood success? It`s not I.Q···It`s family meals. And we haven`t had one of those in a while. See I know sometimes, you don`t feel proud. Cause I may not be a straight a student, but I`m not stupid.

你覺得童年成功最重要的是什么因素嗎？不是智商,是家庭聚餐，我們很久沒有在一起吃飯了。我知道有時候，你不覺得驕傲,因為我可能不是一個還學生，但是我不笨。

These teats may be 70% of my grade, but they`re 0% of my future.

這些成績可能是我成績的70%，但是他們是我未來的0%。

But don`t worry. I`ll pass this class and get through this. But I need you to give me the space I need to be me and live true, cause the best feeling in the world, is that your own parents get you .

不要擔心，我會通過這課然后通關的。但是我需要你給我成為自己的空間，真實的活著,因為這是世界上最好的感覺，是你的父母懂你.

There`s a passage in a book, called the prophet by kahlil gibran, and if you don`t mind , I`d love to share it with you .

這本書里邊有一片文章，叫做預言者，卡里紀伯倫寫的，如果你們不介意，我想和你們分享

一下。

Go ahead, see he says: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. And though they are with you, they do not belong to you. You may give them your love, but not your thoughts, for they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies , but not their souls. For their sous dwell in the house of tomorrow.

繼續(xù)，他說的，你的孩子不是你的孩子，他們是兒子和女兒，他們是生命對于自身渴望而誕生的，他們通過你來到這世界上，但是并非因你而來，他們在你身邊，卻并不屬于你，你可以給予他們愛，卻不是你的想法，因為他們有自己的想法。你可以庇護他們的身體，卻不是他們的靈魂，因為他們的靈魂屬于明天。

So mom I`d appreciate it if you give me the love that I need to purse my dreams, See if we are to succeed, all three of us need behavior change on all fronts.

所以媽媽，我會很感激，如果你能留給我我需要的愛激勵我追尋夢想，如果我們能成功，我們?nèi)齻€都需要改變之前的行為，

We talk about the future···but future is now. And it is created now, by all of us.

我們談論未來···未來就是現(xiàn)在，它由現(xiàn)在創(chuàng)造，由我們所有人。

I`ve never heard you speak like that before. Yeah I didn`t know. But I`m going to reach out to administration, and try to change some things. You have my word.

我之前從未聽你這么說過，我也不知道，但是我要去和管理層聯(lián)系，改變寫什么，我答應你。
