2、al 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.

3、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 业的那些人谈。我知道你们有些人已经决定了 你们想要一
4、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. Im going to talk about those looking for great jobs, great careers, and why youre going to, why youre g
5、oing 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 doesnt
6、 matter how many times you download Steven J.s Stanford mencement 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。 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 备好听听让人心情低落的评论 我只想和你们想要成就伟 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
7、J 在斯坦福大学的开学演 讲，你还是看看然后决定不去做。 rm not quite sure why you decide not to do it. Youre too lazy to do it. Its too hard. Youre afraid if you look for your passion and dont find it, youll feel like youre an idiot, so then you make excuses about why youre not going to look for your passion. And they are exc
8、uses, ladies and gentlemen. Were 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，
9、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 rm going to stand around, rm going to try to be lucky, and if rm lucky, I ll have a great career. If not, Ill have a good career. But a good career
10、 is an impossibility, so thats not going to work. 所以，举例来说，你众多借口之一是， “嗯，伟业实 际上对于大多数人来说 只是运气问题，所以我就在这待着， 我就试试做那个幸运的人，然后如果我真幸运的话， 我就 能成就伟业。如果不能，我就找个还不错的事业。” 但是 没有还不错的事业，所以这个行不通。 Then, your other excuse is, Yes, there are special people who pursue their passions, but they are geniuses. They are Steven J
11、. Im not a genius. When I was five, I thought I was a genius, but my professors have beaten that idea out of my head long since. (Laughter) Mm? And now I know I am pletely petent. Now, you see, if this was , being pletely petent, that would have given you a great career. But guess what? This is almo
12、st , and saying to the world, I amtotally, pletely petent, is damning yourself with the faintest of praise. 然后，你还有其他借口：“是的，有那些与众不同的人 追寻自己的梦想，但是他们是天才。 他们是 Steven J. 我 不是天才。 我五岁的时候以为自己是天才， 但是我的教授 们早就把这个念头 打消了。“(笑声)嗯？ ”然后现在我知 道自己完全有能力。“ 现在你看，如果这是在年， 完全有 能力，就能让你成就伟业。 但是你知道么？现在几乎是年 了，对世界说”我完全，绝对，有能力，“ 就是
13、用最无力 的称赞谴责你自己。 And then, of course, another excuse: Well, I would do this, I would do this, but, but, well, after all, rm not weird. Everybody knows that people who pursue their passions are somewhat obsessive. A little strange? Mm?Mm?Okay? You know, a fine line between madness and genius. rm not we
14、ird. Ive read Steven J.s biography. Oh my goodness. I am not that person. I am nice. I am normal. Im a nice, normal person, and nice, normal people dont have passion. Ah. But I still want a great career. rm not prepared to pursue my passion, so I know what rm going to do, because I have, I have a so
15、lution, I have a strategy. Its the one Mommy and Daddy told me about. Mommqnd Daddy told methat if I worked hard, rd have a good career. So, if you work hard and have a good career, if you work really, really, really hard, youll have a great career. Doesnt that, like, mathematically make sense? Hmm. Not.
