ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tony Robbins - Life coach; expert in leadership psychology
Tony Robbins makes it his business to know why we do the things we do. The pioneering life coach has spoken to millions of people through his best-selling books and three-day seminars.

Why you should listen

Tony Robbins might have one of the world's most famous smiles; his beaming confidence has helped sell his best-selling line of self-help books, and fill even his 10,000-seat seminars. What's less known about the iconic motivational speaker is the range and stature of his personal clients. From CEOs to heads of state to Olympic athletes, a wide swath of high-performing professionals (who are already plenty motivated, thank you very much) look to him for help reaching their full potential.

Robbins' expertise in leadership psychology is what brought him to TED, where his spontaneous on-stage interaction with Al Gore created an unforgettable TED moment. It also perfectly demonstrated Robbins' direct -- even confrontational -- approach, which calls on his listeners to look within themselves, and find the inner blocks that prevent them from finding fulfillment and success. Some of his techniques -- firewalking, for example -- are magnets for criticism, but his underlying message is unassailable: We all have the ability to make a positive impact on the world, and it's up to us, as individuals, to overcome our fears and foibles to reach that potential.

Robbins has won many accolades for his work -- including his memorable performance in the Jack Black comedy Shallow Hal. (It was a small but vital role.) His Anthony Robbins Foundation works with the homeless, elderly and inner-city youth, and feeds more than 2 million people annually through its International Basket Brigade.

Thank you. I have to tell you I'm both challenged挑戰 and excited興奮.
1
2000
3000
謝謝,我必須要告訴你們,我同感挑戰與興奮
00:30
My excitement激動 is: I get a chance機會 to give something back.
2
5000
3000
我興奮的原因是:我能有回報的機會
00:33
My challenge挑戰 is: the shortest最短 seminar研討會 I usually平時 do is 50 hours小時.
3
8000
4000
我的挑戰是:我所舉辦最短的座談會通常是五十小時
00:37
(Laughter笑聲)
4
12000
1000
(笑聲)
00:38
I'm not exaggerating誇大. I do weekends週末, and what I do --
5
13000
3000
我並非誇大其詞。我會在週末進行,而我所作的...
00:41
I do even more than that, obviously明顯, coach教練 people --
6
16000
1000
我所作的甚至不僅於此,顯然地,訓練人群...
00:42
but I'm into immersion浸沒. Because how did you learn學習 language語言?
7
17000
3000
但我更相信沈浸式學習。因為你是怎麼學語言的?
00:45
You didn't learn學習 it by just learning學習 principles原則,
8
20000
2000
你並不是只靠學習原則來學語言的。
00:47
you got in it and you did it so often經常 that it became成為 real真實.
9
22000
3000
你身置其中並經常使用,直至為真
00:50
And the bottom底部 line of why I'm here, besides除了 being存在 a crazy mofo美富,
10
25000
3000
我在這兒的原因的底線是,除了當個瘋狂的混蛋以外
00:53
is that I'm really in a position位置 --
11
28000
2000
是我真的正處於一個位置
00:55
I'm not here to motivate刺激 you, obviously明顯; you don't need that.
12
30000
2000
我並不是來這邊激勵你們的。很顯然地,你們並不需要
00:57
And a lot of times that's what people think I do,
13
32000
2000
很多時候那是大多人認為我會做的事情
00:59
and it's the furthest最遠 thing from it. What happens發生, though雖然, is
14
34000
3000
但這卻是差最多的。真正發生的事情,是
01:03
people say to me, "I don't need any motivation動機."
15
38000
1000
人們告訴我:「我不需要任何激勵」
01:04
And I say, "Well, that's interesting有趣. That's not what I do."
16
39000
2000
而我說:「噢!那可真是有趣!那不是我打算做的事情阿!」
01:06
I'm the "Why" guy. I want to know why you do what you do.
17
41000
4000
我是「為什麼先生」,我想知道你行為背後的動機與原因。
01:10
What is your motive動機 for action行動?
18
45000
2000
你行為的動機是什麼?
01:13
What is it that drives驅動器 you in your life today今天? Not 10 years年份 ago.
19
48000
3000
是什麼驅使你,直至今日之斯?而非十年前的樣子
01:16
Or are you running賽跑 the same相同 pattern模式? Because I believe
20
51000
2000
還是你不停在重複相同的模式?因為我相信
01:18
that the invisible無形 force of internal內部 drive駕駛, activated活性,
21
53000
3000
在內心啟動驅策的無形力量
01:21
is the most important重要 thing in the world世界.
22
56000
2000
是世界上最重要的事物
01:23
I'm here because I believe emotion情感 is the force of life.
23
58000
4000
我在這裡,因為我相信情感是生命之力
01:27
All of us here have great minds頭腦.
24
62000
2000
在這裡的所有人都有偉大的心智
01:29
You know? Most of us here have great minds頭腦, right?
25
64000
2000
你知道嗎?我們大部份的人都有偉大的心智,對吧?
01:32
I don't know about another另一個 category類別, but we all know how to think.
26
67000
2000
其他方面我不清楚,但是我們都知道如何思考
01:34
And with our minds頭腦 we can rationalize理順 anything.
27
69000
1000
藉由我們的心智,我們能將任何事物合理化。
01:36
We can make anything happen發生. We can -- I agree同意 with what was described描述
28
71000
3000
我們能讓任何事情發生!我們可以...我同意我在數天前所聽聞的
01:39
a few少數 days ago, about this idea理念 that people work in their self-interest自我利益.
29
74000
3000
那個說大家都是為了自身利益而的工作的想法
01:42
But we all know that that's bullshit廢話 at times.
30
77000
2000
但我們都知道,有時候這真是狗屁不通
01:45
You don't work in your self-interest自我利益 all the time,
31
80000
2000
你不會隨時隨地都為了你自身利益而工作
01:48
because when emotion情感 comes into it,
32
83000
1000
因為當你的情感到位時
01:49
the wiring接線 changes變化 in the way it functions功能.
33
84000
2000
就會以情感運作的方式來改變處理
01:52
And so it's wonderful精彩 for us to think intellectually知性上
34
87000
2000
對我們而言這是件多麼美妙的事,我們能有智慧的思考
01:54
about how the life of the world世界 is, and especially特別
35
89000
2000
關於世界的生命到底是怎麼回事,尤其
01:56
those who are very smart聰明 -- we can play this game遊戲 in our head.
36
91000
2000
我們之中那些聰明人,能在腦中把這些事情完成
01:58
But I really want to know what's driving主動 you.
37
93000
2000
但我真的想知道的是,到底是什麼在驅策你
02:00
And what I would like to maybe invite邀請 you to do
38
95000
2000
而我想要邀請你做的是
02:02
by the end結束 of this talk is explore探索 where you are today今天,
39
97000
3000
在我今天的演講之後,探索一下為何今天身置於此
02:05
for two reasons原因. One: so that you can contribute有助於 more. And two:
40
100000
3000
有兩個原因。其一:因為可以奉獻更多。其二
02:09
so that hopefully希望 we can not just understand理解 other people more,
41
104000
2000
我們希望能不只更了解其他人
02:11
but maybe appreciate欣賞 them more, and create創建 the kinds of connections連接
42
106000
3000
而或許可以更欣賞其他人,創造某種連結
02:14
that can stop some of the challenges挑戰
43
109000
2000
來阻止某些挑戰
02:16
that we face面對 in our society社會 today今天.
44
111000
1000
我們今日在社會所面對的挑戰
02:17
They're only going to get magnified放大
45
112000
2000
這些挑戰只會越來越大
02:19
by the very technology技術 that's connecting us,
46
114000
1000
隨著連結我們的科技
02:21
because it's making製造 us intersect相交. And that intersection路口
47
116000
3000
讓我們產生更多交集,而這樣的交集
02:24
doesn't always create創建 the view視圖 of "everybody每個人 now understands理解 everybody每個人,
48
119000
3000
並不會總是產生這樣的觀點:「大家現在都更了解了解彼此
02:27
and everybody每個人 appreciates讚賞 everybody每個人."
49
122000
2000
且大家都更欣賞彼此。」
02:29
So, I've had an obsession困擾 basically基本上 for 30 years年份, and that obsession困擾 has been,
50
124000
4000
所以, 基本上我著迷三十年了,而我著迷的事物一直是:
02:34
"What makes品牌 the difference區別 in the quality質量 of peoples人們 lives生活?
51
129000
2000
「是什麼造成人們生活品質的不同?」
02:37
What makes品牌 the difference區別 in their performance性能?"
52
132000
1000
「是什麼造成他們表現的不同?」
02:38
Because that's what I got hired僱用 to do.
53
133000
1000
因為我就是靠這個賺錢的
02:39
I've got to produce生產 the result結果 now.
54
134000
1000
所以我現在必須要產出成果
02:40
That's what I've doneDONE for 30 years年份. I get the phone電話 call
55
135000
3000
這是我做了三十年的事情。我會接到電話
02:43
when the athlete運動員 is burning燃燒 down on national國民 television電視,
56
138000
3000
那頭是在國家電視台上精疲力竭的運動員
02:46
and they were ahead by five strokes
57
141000
2000
他們領先五竿
02:48
and now they can't get back on the course課程.
58
143000
1000
而他們現在沒辦法回到賽道上
02:50
And I've got to do something right now to get the result結果
59
145000
1000
我就要馬上作點事情來產出成果
02:51
or nothing matters事項. I get the phone電話 call
60
146000
2000
否則就沒差了。我會接到電話
02:54
when the child兒童 is going commit承諾 suicide自殺,
61
149000
1000
那頭是想自殺的小孩
02:56
and I've got to do something right now. And in 29 years年份 --
62
151000
2000
我就要馬上作點事情。在二十九年內
02:58
I'm very grateful感激 to tell you I've never lost丟失 one in 29 years年份.
63
153000
3000
我很感激能告訴各位,在二十九年內,我成功救回了每一個
03:01
It doesn't mean I won't慣於 some day. But I haven't沒有 doneDONE it,
64
156000
2000
這並不表示我能一直維持不敗紀錄,但我過去還沒失手過
03:03
and the reason原因 is an understanding理解 of these human人的 needs需求 that I want to talk to you about.
65
158000
2000
原因就是我了解他們的這些人性需求,也就是我想告訴你們的
03:05
So, when I get those calls電話 about performance性能, that's one thing.
66
160000
3000
所以,當我接到這些關於表現的電話時,這是一回事
03:08
How do you make a change更改?
67
163000
2000
你怎麼改變呢?
03:11
But also, I'm looking to see what is it
68
166000
3000
同時,我也在尋找,看看到底是什麼
03:14
that's shaping成型 that person's人的 ability能力 to contribute有助於,
69
169000
2000
在塑造這個人奉獻的能力
03:17
to do something beyond themselves他們自己. So maybe the real真實 question is,
70
172000
3000
能作超越他們本身的事情。所以也許真正的問題是,
03:20
you know, I look at life and say, there's two master lessons教訓.
71
175000
3000
你知道的,我看著生命,說,有兩個重要的課題
03:23
One is: there's the science科學 of achievement成就,
72
178000
2000
其一是:成就背後是有科學的
03:25
which哪一個 almost幾乎 everything that's run is mastered掌握 to an amazing驚人 extent程度.
73
180000
2000
幾乎每件事情都被作到了登峰造極的地步
03:28
That's "How do you take the invisible無形 and make it visible可見," right?
74
183000
2000
第一個課題是:「你怎麼把無形的力量化為有形?」對吧
03:30
How do you take what you're dreaming做夢 of and make it happen發生?
75
185000
2000
你怎麼讓你自己夢寐以求的事物成真?
03:32
Whether是否 it be your business商業, your contribution貢獻 to society社會, money --
76
187000
2000
不管是你的生意、對社會的貢獻、或是金錢?
03:35
whatever隨你 it is for you -- your body身體, your family家庭.
77
190000
1000
不管對你來說是什麼 - 你的身體、你的家庭
03:37
But the other lesson of life that is rarely很少 mastered掌握 is the art藝術 of fulfillment履行.
78
192000
2000
但另外一個生命的課題,精通的人就少之又少了,就是自我實現的藝術
03:39
Because science科學 is easy簡單, right?
79
194000
3000
因為科學是簡單的,對吧?
03:42
We know the rules規則. You write the code. You follow跟隨 the --
80
197000
2000
你知道規則,寫好程式碼,跟隨...
03:45
and you get the results結果. Once一旦 you know the game遊戲
81
200000
1000
然後就得到結果。只要你知道這遊戲的方式
03:46
you just, you know, you up the ante賭注, don't you?
82
201000
2000
你就,你知道的,你就會加碼,對吧!
03:49
But when it comes to fulfillment履行 -- that's an art藝術.
83
204000
2000
但自我實現就是藝術了!
03:51
And the reason原因 is, it's about appreciation升值
84
206000
2000
原因是,自我實現是欣賞
03:53
and it's about contribution貢獻. You can only feel so much by yourself你自己.
85
208000
3000
是奉獻。靠自己,你只能感覺到那些。
03:57
So, I've had an interesting有趣 laboratory實驗室 to try to answer回答 the question
86
212000
3000
所以,我有個有趣的實驗室來回答這個問題。
04:00
of the real真實 question, which哪一個 is what's the difference區別
87
215000
1000
這個問題中的問題,也就是這些人生命的差異到底在哪?
04:01
in somebody's某人的 life if you look at somebody like those people
88
216000
3000
若你看著這些人
04:04
that you've given特定 everything to? Like all the resources資源
89
219000
3000
這些人是你所奉獻一切的人。就像是他們所聲稱
04:07
they say they need. You gave them not a 100-dollar-美元 computer電腦;
90
222000
2000
他們所需要的所有資源,你給他們的不只是百元電腦
04:09
you gave them the best最好 computer電腦. You gave them love;
91
224000
2000
而給他們最好的電腦。你給他們愛
04:11
you gave them joy喜悅. You were there to comfort安慰 them.
92
226000
1000
給他們歡樂,你撫慰他們
04:13
And those people very often經常 -- and you know some of them, I'm sure --
93
228000
2000
而這些人經常,你知道的,至少我確定他們其中的一些
04:16
end結束 up the rest休息 of their life with all this love, education教育, money
94
231000
2000
在餘生中帶著這些愛、教育、金錢
04:18
and background背景, spending開支 their life going in and out of rehab康復.
95
233000
3000
與其他背景,在戒護所中進出,揮霍餘生
04:22
And then you meet遇到 people that have been through通過 ultimate最終 pain疼痛 --
96
237000
2000
之後你遇見經歷了極大痛苦的人
04:25
psychologically心理, sexually, spiritually靈性, emotionally感情上 abused濫用 --
97
240000
3000
心理上、性上、心靈上、感情受創
04:28
and not always, but often經常, they become成為 some of the people
98
243000
2000
雖然不總是如此,但經常是這樣,他們會變成
04:30
that contribute有助於 the most to society社會.
99
245000
3000
對社會貢獻最多的那群人之一
04:33
So, the question we've我們已經 got to ask ourselves我們自己 really is, what is it?
100
248000
3000
所以我們真的必須要問我們自己的問題是,到底是什麼?
04:37
What is it that shapes形狀 us? And we live生活 in a therapy治療 culture文化.
101
252000
2000
到底是什麼在塑造我們?我們活在一個治療文化中
04:40
Most of us don't do that, but the culture's文化的 a therapy治療 culture文化.
102
255000
2000
我們之中大部分的人都不會這樣作,但是我們的文化就是治療文化
04:42
And what I mean by that is the mindset心態 that we are our past過去.
103
257000
2000
而我這樣說的意思表示我相信我們都是過去的積累。
04:45
And everybody每個人 in this room房間 -- you wouldn't不會 be in this room房間
104
260000
2000
每個在這個房間的人,如果相信治療文化的理論
04:47
if you bought that theory理論 --
105
262000
1000
你就不會在這個房間裡了
04:48
but the -- most of society社會 thinks biography is destiny命運.
106
263000
2000
但是,大部分的社會都認為一生中發生的事情是命定的
04:51
The past過去 equals等於 the future未來. And of course課程 it does if you live生活 there.
107
266000
3000
過去等同未來,當然是這樣若你這樣認為
04:54
But what people in this room房間 know,
108
269000
1000
但在這房間的人都知道
04:56
and what we have to remind提醒 ourselves我們自己, though雖然 --
109
271000
1000
我們必須提醒我們自己
04:57
because you can know something intellectually知性上, you can know what to do
110
272000
2000
因為你有智識,知道一些事,你知道要作什麼
05:00
and then not use it, not apply應用 it.
111
275000
1000
但沒有使用、沒有運用
05:02
So really, we're going to remind提醒 ourselves我們自己
112
277000
1000
所以我們真的要提醒我們自己
05:03
that decision決定 is the ultimate最終 power功率. That's what it really is.
113
278000
3000
下決定才是最終的力量。就真的是這樣。
05:06
Now, when you ask people, you know,
114
281000
2000
現在,當你問別人
05:08
have you failed失敗 to achieve實現 something?
115
283000
1000
「你曾經沒辦法達成某事嗎?」
05:09
How many許多 have ever failed失敗 to achieve實現
116
284000
2000
「有多少人在生命中曾經
05:11
something significant重大 in your life? Say, "Aye."
117
286000
1000
沒辦法達成重要的事情?」有的說「有」
05:13
Audience聽眾: Aye.
118
288000
1000
群眾:「有」
05:14
TRTR: Thanks謝謝 for the interaction相互作用 on a high level水平 there.
119
289000
1000
東尼‧羅賓斯:謝謝你們的高度互動。
05:16
(Laughter笑聲)
120
291000
1000
(笑聲)
05:17
But if you ask people, why didn't you achieve實現 something?
121
292000
3000
但如果你問別人,為什麼你不去成就某件事情?
05:20
Somebody who's誰是 working加工 for you, you know, or a partner夥伴,
122
295000
2000
例如在你手下做事的人,或是工作夥伴
05:22
or even yourself你自己. When you fail失敗 to achieve實現 a goal目標,
123
297000
2000
或甚至是你自己,當你沒辦法達成目標時
05:24
what's the reason原因 people say they fail失敗 to achieve實現?
124
299000
2000
人們會給自己沒辦法達成的原因是什麼
05:26
What do they tell you? Don't have the -- didn't know enough足夠,
125
301000
2000
他們會告訴你什麼?因為沒有...就是知道得不夠
05:29
didn't have the -- knowledge知識. Didn't have the -- money.
126
304000
2000
沒有...知識。沒有...錢。
05:31
Didn't have the -- time. Didn't have the -- technology技術. You know,
127

沒有...時間。沒有...技術。你知道的。
05:36
I didn't have the right manager經理. Didn't have the ...

05:39
Al Gore血塊: Supreme最高 Court法庭. (Laughter笑聲)
129
314000
4000
高爾:最高法院!(笑聲)
05:53
TRTR: And --
130
328000
2000
東尼‧羅賓斯:還有...
05:55
(Applause掌聲)
131
330000
2000
(掌聲)
05:57
and --
132
332000
1000
還有...
05:58
(Applause掌聲)
133
333000
3000
(掌聲)
06:01
-- what do all those, including包含 the Supreme最高 Court法庭, have in common共同?
134
336000
2000
這些東西,包含最高法院在內,有什麼共同點?
06:03
(Laughter笑聲)
135
338000
2000
(笑聲)
06:06
They are a claim要求 to you missing失踪 resources資源, and they may可能 be accurate準確.
136
341000
4000
這些事物都能聲稱你缺少資源,且可能是真確的!
06:10
You may可能 not have the money; you may可能 not have the Supreme最高 Court法庭;
137
345000
2000
你可能沒錢,也可能沒有最高法院
06:13
but that is not the defining確定 factor因子.
138
348000
2000
但是這不是關鍵因素!
06:15
(Applause掌聲)
139
350000
6000
(掌聲)
06:21
And you correct正確 me if I'm wrong錯誤.
140
356000
1000
糾正我!如果我錯了!
06:24
The defining確定 factor因子 is never resources資源; it's resourcefulness足智多謀.
141
359000
2000
關鍵因素從來都不是資源,而是善用資源的能力!
06:27
And what I mean specifically特別, rather than just some phrase短語,
142
362000
2000
我的意思是,讓我更精確的說
06:29
is if you have emotion情感, human人的 emotion情感, something that I experienced有經驗的
143
364000
5000
如果你有情感,人類的情感,
06:34
from you a day before yesterday昨天 at a level水平 that is as profound深刻
144
369000
3000
就像前日我從你身上體驗的一樣強烈
06:38
as I've ever experienced有經驗的, and if you'd communicated傳達 with that emotion情感
145
373000
2000
與我所經驗過的情感一樣深刻,而你曾用這樣的情感溝通過
06:40
I believe you would have beat擊敗 his ass屁股 and won韓元.
146
375000
1000
我相信你一定能贏過他!
06:42
(Applause掌聲)
147
377000
5000
(掌聲)
06:47
But, how easy簡單 for me to tell him what he should do.
148
382000
4000
但是,對我來說告訴他應該作甚麼是多麼簡單的事情!
06:51
(Laughter笑聲)
149
386000
2000
(笑聲)
06:53
Idiot白痴, Robbins羅賓斯. But I know when we watched看著 the debate辯論 at that time,
150
388000
7000
羅賓,你這笨蛋。但我知道當我們當時看這場辯論時
07:01
there were emotions情緒 that blocked受阻 people's人們 ability能力
151
396000
2000
有情感阻絕了人們的能力
07:03
to get this man's男人的 intellect智力 and capacity容量.
152
398000
2000
讓他無法得到他該有的智慧與能力
07:05
And the way that it came來了 across橫過 to some people on that day --
153
400000
2000
而在那天這場合讓一些人偶然碰上了
07:07
because I know people that wanted to vote投票 in your direction方向 and didn't,
154
402000
3000
因為我知道一切人,他們本來想投你,但後來卻沒有
07:11
and I was upset煩亂. But there was emotion情感 that was there.
155
406000
3000
我對此不太高興。但,情緒在那裡,就在那裡!
07:14
How many許多 know what I'm talking about here? Say, "Aye."
156
409000
1000
有多少人知道我在說什麼?說:「有」
07:16
Audience聽眾: Aye.
157
411000
1000
群眾:「有」
07:17
TRTR: So, emotion情感 is it. And if we get the right emotion情感,
158
412000
2000
東尼‧羅賓斯:所以,就是情緒了。而如果我們有了正確的情緒
07:20
we can get ourselves我們自己 to do anything. We can get through通過 it.
159
415000
2000
我們就能讓作成任何事情。我們能撐過去
07:22
If you're creative創作的 enough足夠, playful調皮 enough足夠, fun開玩笑 enough足夠,
160
417000
2000
如果你夠有創意、夠有玩興、夠有趣
07:24
can you get through通過 to anybody任何人? Yes or no?
161
419000
1000
你能跟所有人打成一片嗎?能不能?
07:26
Audience聽眾: Yes.
162
421000
1000
群眾:能
07:27
TRTR: If you don't have the money, but you're creative創作的 and determined決心 enough足夠,
163
422000
1000
東尼‧羅賓斯:如果你沒有錢,但你夠有創意與決心
07:28
you find the way. So this is the ultimate最終 resource資源.
164
423000
3000
你會找到方法,所以這就是終極的資源
07:31
But this is not the story故事 that people tell us, right?
165
426000
3000
但這不是大家告訴我們的,對吧?
07:34
The story故事 people tell us is a bunch of different不同 stories故事.
166
429000
2000
大家告訴我們的是一堆不同的故事。
07:36
They tell us we don't have the resources資源, but ultimately最終,
167
431000
2000
他們說如果我們沒有資源,但終究
07:38
if you take a look here -- flip翻動 it up, if you would --
168
433000
2000
如果你看看投影片,請抬頭,如果你願意的話
07:41
they say, what are all the reasons原因 they haven't沒有 accomplished完成 that?
169
436000
1000
他們說,他們還沒完成的原因到底總共有哪些?
07:43
Next下一個 one, please. He's broken破碎 my pattern模式, that son-of-a-bitch王八蛋.
170
438000
3000
請換下一張。他打破了我的模式,那混蛋!
07:46
(Laughter笑聲)
171
441000
4000
(笑聲)
07:50
But I appreciated讚賞 the energy能源, I'll tell you that.
172
445000
1000
但我告訴你,我還是感謝他的活力
07:51
(Laughter笑聲)
173
446000
2000
(笑聲)
07:53
What determines確定 your resources資源? We've我們已經 said decisions決定 shape形狀 destiny命運,
174
448000
3000
決定你的資源的是什麼?我們說過決定會影響命運
07:56
which哪一個 is my focus焦點 here. If decisions決定 shape形狀 destiny命運, what determines確定 it
175
451000
4000
這是我的重點。如果決定會影響命運,那會影響的
08:00
is three decisions決定. What are you going to focus焦點 on?
176
455000
2000
就是三個決定?你要把焦點放在哪邊?
08:02
Right now, you have to decide決定 what you're going to focus焦點 on.
177
457000
2000
現在,如果你要決定你要把焦點放在哪邊
08:04
In this second第二, consciously自覺 or unconsciously不知不覺, the minute分鐘 you decide決定
178
459000
2000
在這秒鐘,不管有意識還是無意識地,當你決定要決定的那一分鐘
08:07
to focus焦點 on something you've got to give it a meaning含義,
179
462000
1000
你就必須給你決定要聚焦的事物一個意義
08:09
and whatever隨你 that meaning含義 is produces產生 emotion情感.
180
464000
2000
而這個意義就會產生情緒
08:11
Is this the end結束 or the beginning開始? Is God punishing懲罰 me
181
466000
3000
這是結束還是開始呢?神是在處罰我?
08:14
or rewarding獎勵 me, or is this the roll of the dice骰子?
182
469000
2000
還是犒賞我呢?還是這就像是丟骰子一樣不確定?
08:17
An emotion情感, then, creates創建 what we're going to do or the action行動.
183
472000
3000
之後某種情緒,就會創造我們的下一步或是行動
08:20
So, think about your own擁有 life,
184
475000
1000
所以,想想你的人生
08:22
the decisions決定 that have shaped成形 your destiny命運.
185
477000
1000
塑造你命運的決定
08:24
And that sounds聲音 really heavy, but in the last five or 10 years年份,
186
479000
2000
聽起來很沈重,但在過去五到十年
08:27
15 years年份, how have there been some decisions決定 you've made製作
187
482000
1000
或十五年,你所下的決定造成了什麼樣的結果?
08:28
that if you'd made製作 a different不同 decision決定,
188
483000
2000
或是,若你當時的決定不同呢?
08:30
your life would be completely全然 different不同? How many許多 can think about it?
189
485000
3000
你的生命會完全不同嗎?有多少人能想出來?
08:33
Honestly老老實實, better or worse更差? Say, "Aye."
190
488000
1000
說實在的,誰知道會比較好還是壞?說:「有」
08:35
Audience聽眾: Aye.
191
490000
1000
群眾:「有」
08:36
TRTR: So the bottom底部 line is, maybe it was where to go to work,
192
491000
2000
東尼‧羅賓斯:所以這就是底線,或許這就是我們該開始下功夫的地方
08:38
and you met會見 the love of your life there.
193
493000
1000
或許是你過去碰見的人生摯愛
08:40
Maybe it was a career事業 decision決定. I know the Google谷歌 geniuses天才 I saw here --
194
495000
2000
或是個生涯上的決定。我知道我在這兒看過的Google天才
08:43
I mean, I understand理解 that their decision決定
195
498000
1000
我的意思是,我了解他們的決定
08:45
was to sell their technology技術 at first. What if they made製作 that decision決定
196
500000
2000
一開始是想要把他們的科技售出。如果他們做了這個決定
08:48
versus to build建立 their own擁有 culture文化? How would the world世界 be different不同?
197
503000
2000
而不是建立他們自己的王國呢?世界會有什麼不同?
08:50
How would their lives生活 be different不同? Their impact碰撞?
198
505000
2000
他們的人生會有什麼不同?他們的影響呢?
08:53
The history歷史 of our world世界 is these decisions決定.
199
508000
2000
我們世界的歷史就是這些決定
08:55
When a woman女人 stands站立 up and says, "No, I won't慣於 go to the back of the bus總線,"
200
510000
3000
當一個女人起身而說:「不,我不會坐到公車後頭」(譯按:指黑人女性拒絕移坐而引起種族意識抬頭的故事)
08:59
she didn't just affect影響 her life. That decision決定 shaped成形 our culture文化.
201
514000
3000
他並不只影響了他的生命。這個決定影響了我們的文化。
09:02
Or someone有人 standing常設 in front面前 of a tank坦克. Or being存在 in a position位置
202
517000
3000
或是當有人站在坦克車前方,或是處於
09:06
like Lance Armstrong阿姆斯特朗, and someone有人 says to you,
203
521000
1000
藍斯·阿姆斯壯(Lance Armstrong)的處境,有人告訴你
09:08
"You've got testicular睾丸 cancer癌症." That's pretty漂亮 tough強硬 for any male,
204
523000
2000
「你得了睪丸癌」這對於任何男性都很難承受
09:11
especially特別 if you ride a bike自行車.
205
526000
1000
尤其如果你是單車車手的話
09:12
(Laughter笑聲)
206
527000
2000
(笑聲)
09:14
You've got it in your brain; you've got it in your lungs.
207
529000
2000
你腦子裡有了它,肺裡也有了它
09:16
But what was his decision決定 of what to focus焦點 on?
208
531000
2000
但他決定聚焦的事物是什麼?
09:19
Different不同 than most people. What did it mean?
209
534000
1000
與大多數人不同。意思是什麼?
09:20
It wasn't the end結束; it was the beginning開始. What am I going to do?
210
535000
2000
不是結束,而是開始。下一步我要作什麼?
09:22
He goes off and wins seven championships冠軍 he never once一旦 won韓元
211
537000
3000
他火力全開贏了七座冠軍。他之前從沒贏過
09:25
before the cancer癌症, because he got emotional情緒化 fitness身體素質,
212
540000
2000
在他得癌症之前,但因為他有情緒調適的能力
09:28
psychological心理 strength強度. That's the difference區別 in human人的 beings眾生
213
543000
3000
心理的力量。那就是人與人之間的不同
09:31
that I've seen看到 of the three million百萬 that I've been around.
214
546000
2000
我在我之前相處過約三百萬人中所見過的差異
09:33
Because that's about my lab實驗室. I've had three million百萬 people
215
548000
2000
因為這是我的實驗範圍。在過去的二十九年間我有過機會與
09:36
from 80 different不同 countries國家 that I've had a chance機會 to interact相互作用 with
216
551000
2000
來自八十個國家的三百萬人互動
09:38
over the last 29 years年份. And after a while, patterns模式 become成為 obvious明顯.
217
553000
4000
過了一陣子後,模式就很明顯了。
09:42
You see that South America美國 and Africa非洲
218
557000
2000
你看見南美與非洲
09:44
may可能 be connected連接的 in a certain某些 way, right? Other people say,
219
559000
3000
在某些方面上有所連結,對吧(指地圖上可以拼在一起,Gore於其影片中用過的段落)?其他人說
09:47
"Oh, that sounds聲音 ridiculous荒謬." It's simple簡單. So, what shaped成形 Lance?
220
562000
3000
:「噢!那聽起來真荒謬!」簡單,那麼,是什麼決定蘭斯的?
09:50
What shapes形狀 you? Two invisible無形 forces軍隊. Very quickly很快. One: state.
221
565000
5000
是什麼決定你的?兩股無形的力量。很快談談。其一:狀態
09:56
We all have had time.
222
571000
1000
我們都有過這樣的時刻
09:57
So if you had a time you did something, and after you did it
223
572000
2000
若你有過這樣的時刻:你在做了某事後,做完之後
09:59
you thought to yourself你自己, I can't believe I said that,
224
574000
1000
你開始覺得,我真不敢相信我這麼說了
10:01
I can't believe I did that, that was so stupid -- who's誰是 been there?
225
576000
2000
我真不敢相信我這麼做了,那真是有夠笨,有誰有過這種經驗的
10:03
Say, "Aye."
226
578000
1000
說:「有」
10:04
Audience聽眾: Aye.
227
579000
1000
群眾:「有」
10:05
TRTR: Have you ever doneDONE something, after you did it, you go, "That was me!"
228
580000
2000
東尼‧羅賓斯:你可曾作過些事情,做完之後你說:「這就是我!」
10:07
(Laughter笑聲)
229
582000
2000
(笑聲)
10:09
Right? It wasn't your ability能力; it was your state.
230
584000
2000
對吧?這不是你的能力,這是你的狀態。
10:12
Your model模型 of the world世界 is what shapes形狀 you long term術語.
231
587000
2000
你的世界觀是長期型塑你的事物
10:15
Your model模型 of the world世界 is the filter過濾. That's what's shaping成型 us.
232
590000
3000
你的世界觀是過濾器。形塑我們的東西
10:18
That's what makes品牌 people make decisions決定.
233
593000
1000
那就是讓人下決定的東西
10:20
When we want to influence影響 somebody, we've我們已經 got to know
234
595000
1000
當我們想影響他人,我們必須要知道
10:21
what already已經 influences影響 them.
235
596000
1000
他們已經受了什麼影響
10:23
And it's made製作 up of three parts部分, I believe.
236
598000
1000
我相信這包含三部份
10:25
First, what's your target目標? What are you after?
237
600000
2000
首先,你的目標是什麼?你追求的是什麼?
10:27
Which哪一個, I believe -- it's not your desires慾望.
238
602000
2000
我相信,這跟你的欲望不同。
10:29
You can get your desires慾望 or goals目標. How many許多 have ever got a goal目標
239
604000
2000
你可以有欲望或是目標。有多少人設立過目標
10:31
or desire慾望 and thought, is this all there is?
240
606000
2000
有過欲望或是想法的?大概就是這些吧?
10:33
How many許多 have been there? Say, "Aye."
241
608000
1000
有多少人有過?說:「有」
10:34
Audience聽眾: Aye.
242
609000
1000
群眾:「有」
10:35
TRTR: So, it's needs需求 we have. I believe there are six human人的 needs需求.
243
610000
3000
東尼‧羅賓斯:所以,我們有需求,我相信有六種人類需求
10:38
Second第二, once一旦 you know what the target目標 that's driving主動 you is
244
613000
3000
其次,一旦你知道驅策你的目標是什麼
10:41
and you uncover揭露 it for the truth真相 -- you don't form形成 it; you uncover揭露 it --
245
616000
3000
而你真實的發現目標,不需要形成目標,發現就好
10:44
then you find out what's your map地圖,
246
619000
1000
那你就會找到你的地圖是什麼
10:45
what's the belief信仰 systems系統 that are telling告訴 you how to get those needs需求.
247
620000
3000
那就是你的信仰體系,告訴你如何得到那些需求
10:48
Some people think the way to get those needs需求 is destroy破壞 the world世界,
248
623000
2000
有些人覺得滿足那些需求要毀滅世界
10:50
some people is to build建立 something, create創建 something, love someone有人.
249
625000
3000
有些人覺得要建造一些事物、創造一些事物,或是愛某人
10:54
And then there's the fuel汽油 you pick. So very quickly很快, six needs需求.
250
629000
3000
所以你要選擇你的驅策力。很快帶過,六大需求。
10:57
Let me tell you what they are. First one: certainty肯定.
251
632000
2000
讓我告訴你這些分別是什麼。其一:確定性。
10:59
Now, these are not goals目標 or desires慾望, these are universal普遍.
252
634000
2000
現在所談的這些不是目標也不是渴望,是放諸四海皆準的
11:02
Everyone大家 needs需求 certainty肯定 that they can avoid避免 pain疼痛
253
637000
1000
每個人都需要能夠避免痛苦的確定性
11:03
and at least最小 be comfortable自在. Now, how do you get it?
254
638000
2000
或至少能舒服的確定性。那要怎麼獲得呢?
11:05
Control控制 everybody每個人? Develop發展 a skill技能? Give up? Smoke抽煙 a cigarette香煙?
255
640000
4000
控制他人?培養技能?放棄?抽根煙?
11:10
And if you got totally完全 certain某些, ironically諷刺地,
256
645000
2000
如果你能完全確定,很諷刺的
11:12
even though雖然 we all need that --
257
647000
1000
即便我們都需要
11:13
like if you're not certain某些 about your health健康, or your children孩子,
258
648000
2000
你若不確定你的健康、你的子女
11:15
or money, you don't think about much.
259
650000
2000
你的金錢,你就不會想那麼多
11:17
You're not sure if the ceiling's天花板的 going to hold保持 up,
260
652000
1000
你不確定天花板會不會掉下來
11:18
you're not going to listen to any speaker揚聲器.
261
653000
1000
你不會聽任何講者說話
11:20
But, while we go for certainty肯定 differently不同, if we get total certainty肯定,
262
655000
3000
但當我們都以不同的方式獲得確定性,若我們得到完全的確定性後
11:24
we get what? What do you feel if you're certain某些?
263
659000
1000
我們會得到什麼?你若感覺確定時,你覺得如何?
11:25
You know what's going to happen發生, when it's going to happen發生,
264
660000
1000
你知道什麼會發生?何時會發生?
11:26
how it's going to happen發生 -- what would you feel?
265
661000
1000
會如何發生?那你感覺會怎樣。
11:28
Bored無聊 out of your minds頭腦. So, God, in Her infinite無窮 wisdom智慧,
266
663000
3000
你會覺得無聊至極!所以,天阿,以她無窮盡的智慧。(譯按:玩笑話,因為應為男性「他」)
11:31
(Laughter笑聲)
267
666000
1000
(笑聲)
11:32
gave us a second第二 human人的 need, which哪一個 is uncertainty不確定.
268
667000
3000
給我們第二個人類需求吧,也就是不確定性
11:35
We need variety品種. We need surprise.
269
670000
2000
我們需要變化,我們需要驚喜
11:38
How many許多 of you here love surprises驚喜? Say, "Aye."
270
673000
1000
在座多少人喜歡驚喜?說:「有」
11:40
Audience聽眾: Aye.
271
675000
1000
群眾:「有」
11:41
TRTR: Bullshit廢話. You like the surprises驚喜 you want.
272
676000
1000
東尼‧羅賓斯:胡說!你喜歡的是你想要的驚喜。
11:42
(Laughter笑聲)
273
677000
2000
(笑聲)
11:44
The ones那些 you don't want you call problems問題, but you need them.
274
679000
3000
你不想要的驚喜你稱之為問題,但你需要他們
11:47
So, variety品種 is important重要. Have you ever rented a video視頻 or a film電影
275
682000
3000
所以,變化性是很重要的,你有租過你已經看過的
11:50
that you've already已經 seen看到? Who's誰是 doneDONE this? Get a fucking他媽的 life.
276
685000
4000
電影或是片子嗎?有人作過這種事嗎?真他媽的!
11:54
(Laughter笑聲)
277
689000
2000
(笑聲)
11:56
All right. Why are you doing it? You're certain某些 it's good
278
691000
2000
好,為什麼你會這樣作?因為你確信那不錯
11:58
because you read it before, saw it before, but you're hoping希望
279
693000
2000
因為你以前讀過、以前看過,但是你希望
12:00
it's been long enough足夠 you've forgotten忘記了, that there's variety品種.
280
695000
2000
因為過了好一陣子,你已經忘記了,而這就是變化的需求。
12:03
Third第三 human人的 need, critical危急: significance意義. We all need to feel
281
698000
3000
第三個需要:重要性。我們都需要感到
12:06
important重要, special特別, unique獨特. You can get it by making製造 more money.
282
701000
3000
被重視、特別、獨一無二。你可以藉由賺更多錢達成
12:09
You can do it by being存在 more spiritual精神.
283
704000
2000
或是更具有靈性
12:11
You can do it by getting得到 yourself你自己 in a situation情況 where you put
284
706000
2000
你可以讓自己
12:13
more tattoos紋身 and earrings耳環 in places地方 humans人類 don't want to know.
285
708000
3000
有更多刺青或耳環,甚或在一般人不想知道的地方
12:17
Whatever隨你 it takes. The fastest最快的 way to do this,
286
712000
3000
不管代價為何,最快的方式是
12:20
if you have no background背景, no culture文化, no belief信仰 and resources資源
287
715000
2000
如果你沒有背景、沒有文化、沒有信仰或資源
12:22
or resourcefulness足智多謀, is violence暴力. If I put a gun to your head
288
717000
3000
或是其他運用資源的能力,那就是暴力了。如果我拿把槍指著你的頭
12:25
and I live生活 in the 'hood“油煙機, instantly即刻 I'm significant重大.
289
720000
2000
而我又跟你住同一個社區,我馬上就有了重要性
12:27
Zero to 10. How high? 10. How certain某些 am I that
290
722000
3000
0-10分,有多高呢?10分!我有多麼重要阿!
12:30
you're going to respond響應 to me? 10. How much uncertainty不確定?
291
725000
3000
你要怎麼對我回應?10分!有多少不確定性?
12:34
Who knows知道 what's going to happen發生 next下一個? Kind of exciting扣人心弦.
292
729000
1000
誰知道接下來會發生什麼?蠻刺激的。
12:35
Like climbing攀登 up into a cave洞穴 and doing that stuff東東
293
730000
3000
像是爬進洞穴後做做看這種事情
12:38
all the way down there. Total variety品種 and uncertainty不確定.
294
733000
2000
一路爬進去。完全是變化性與不確定性。
12:40
And it's significant重大, isn't it? So you want to risk風險 your life for it.
295
735000
3000
所以是重要的,是吧?如果你想冒生命的險
12:44
So that's why violence暴力 has always been around and will be around
296
739000
2000
那就為什麼暴力總是在我們的周遭,且會一直持續下去
12:46
unless除非 we have a consciousness意識 change更改 as a species種類.
297
741000
2000
除非我們整個種族產生有意識的改變
12:49
Now, you can get significance意義 a million百萬 ways方法,
298
744000
1000
現在,你可以有百萬種方式來得到重要性
12:50
but to be significant重大, you've got to be unique獨特 and different不同.
299
745000
2000
但若要變得重要,你必須要獨一無二、與眾不同。
12:52
Here's這裡的 what we really need: connection連接 and love -- fourth第四 need.
300
747000
3000
我們真的需要的是:愛與連結。也就是第四種需要。
12:56
We all want it. Most people settle解決 for connection連接
301
751000
2000
我們都需要。大部分的人會定下來就是為了連結
12:58
because love's愛的 too scary害怕. Don't want to get hurt傷害.
302
753000
2000
因為愛太可怕了。不想要受傷
13:00
Who here has ever been hurt傷害 in an intimate親密 relationship關係? Say, "Aye."
303
755000
3000
在這裡有在親密關係中受過傷的人嗎?說:「有」
13:03
(Laughter笑聲)
304
758000
1000
(笑聲)
13:04
If you don't raise提高 your hand, you'll你會 have had other shit拉屎 too, come on.
305
759000
2000
如果你不舉手,你也會有其他問題的!來吧!
13:06
(Laughter笑聲)
306
761000
1000
(笑聲)
13:07
And you're going to get hurt傷害 again.
307
762000
1000
如果你還要再被傷過一次
13:08
Aren't是不是 you glad高興 you came來了 to this positive visit訪問?
308
763000
2000
你難道不為今天來到了這個正向聚會而開心嗎?
13:10
(Laughter笑聲)
309
765000
1000
(笑聲)
13:11
But here's這裡的 what's true真正 -- we need it. We can do it through通過 intimacy親密關係,
310
766000
3000
事實是:我們需要它。我們可以經由親密實踐它。
13:14
through通過 friendship友誼, through通過 prayer禱告, through通過 walking步行 in nature性質.
311
769000
3000
或是經由友情、經由祈禱、經由在大自然中漫步
13:18
If nothing else其他 works作品 for you, get a dog. Don't get a cat. Get a dog,
312
773000
2000
若什麼對你都沒效,養隻狗吧。別養貓。養隻狗。
13:20
because if you leave離開 for two minutes分鐘, it's like you've been gone走了
313
775000
2000
因為只要你離開兩分鐘,感覺就像是你
13:22
for six months個月 when you show顯示 back up again five minutes分鐘 later後來, right?
314
777000
2000
已經離開了六個月一樣,即使你五分鐘後就出現了,對吧?
13:24
(Laughter笑聲)
315
779000
1000
(笑聲)
13:25
Now, these first four needs需求, every一切 human人的 finds認定 a way to meet遇到.
316
780000
2000
現在,這前四個需求,每個人都會找到滿足的方法
13:28
Even if you lie謊言 to yourself你自己, you need to have split分裂 personalities個性.
317
783000
2000
即使你欺騙自己,或是需要分裂個性
13:31
But the last two needs需求 -- the first four needs需求 are called
318
786000
3000
但是最後的兩個需求。前面的四個需求我們稱作
13:34
the needs需求 of the personalities個性, is what I call it --
319
789000
2000
個性需求,我這樣稱呼
13:36
the last two are the needs需求 of the spirit精神.
320
791000
2000
最後的兩個需求是靈性需求
13:39
And this is where fulfillment履行 comes. You won't慣於 get fulfillment履行
321
794000
2000
這是實現感的來源。你沒辦法從前四個
13:41
from the first four. You'll你會 figure數字 a way -- smoke抽煙, drink, do whatever隨你 --
322
796000
3000
得到實現感。你可以經由抽煙、喝酒、或是其他各式方法
13:44
to meet遇到 the first four, but the last two -- number five:
323
799000
1000
來滿足前四者。但是最後的兩個:第五個
13:46
you must必須 grow增長. We all know the answer回答 here.
324
801000
2000
你必須要成長。我們都知道答案。
13:48
If you don't grow增長, you're what? If a relationship's關係的 not growing生長,
325
803000
3000
如果你不成長,那會怎麼樣呢?如果一段關係不成長?
13:51
if a business商業 is not growing生長, if you're not growing生長,
326
806000
2000
如果一個事業不成長?如果你不成長?
13:53
it doesn't matter how much money you have,
327
808000
1000
不管你有多少錢
13:54
how many許多 friends朋友 you have, how many許多 people love you,
328
809000
2000
你有多少朋友,有多人愛你
13:56
you feel like hell地獄. And the reason原因 we grow增長, I believe,
329
811000
3000
你都會覺得像置身地獄一般。而我們成長的原因,我相信
13:59
is so we have something to give of value.
330
814000
2000
是因為這樣我們才能給予他人有價值的事物
14:02
Because the sixth第六 need is to contribute有助於 beyond ourselves我們自己.
331
817000
2000
因為第六個需求是超出我們自己的奉獻
14:05
Because we all know, corny老生常談 as it sounds聲音,
332
820000
1000
因為我們都知道,即便聽來已陳腔濫調
14:07
the secret秘密 to living活的 is giving. We all know life's人生 not about me;
333
822000
3000
生活的秘密在於給予。我們都知道生命不是只是關於自己
14:10
it's about we. This culture文化 knows知道 that. This room房間 knows知道 that.
334
825000
2000
而是關於群體。我們的文化知道,這房間裡的大家都知道。
14:12
And it's exciting扣人心弦. When you see Nicholas尼古拉斯 up here talking about
335
827000
3000
而這是很刺激的。當你看到尼可拉斯(Nicholas)在台上談論
14:15
his $100 computer電腦, the most passionate多情 exciting扣人心弦 thing is:
336
830000
2000
他的百元電腦,最熱情、刺激的事情是
14:17
here's這裡的 a genius天才, but he's got a calling調用 now.
337
832000
3000
他是個天才,但他聽到了呼召。
14:21
You can feel the difference區別 in him and it's beautiful美麗.
338
836000
2000
你可以感覺到他的不同,而那是美麗的。
14:24
And that calling調用 can touch觸摸 other people. In my own擁有 life,
339
839000
2000
而這樣的呼召可以感動他人,在我自己的生命中
14:26
my life was touched感動 because when I was 11 years年份 old,
340
841000
2000
我的生命當我在11歲時被感動,因為
14:28
Thanksgiving感恩, no money, no food餐飲 -- we're not going to starve餓死,
341
843000
3000
感恩節:沒錢、沒食物,而我們將不會餓死
14:31
but my father父親 was totally完全 messed搞砸 up. My mom媽媽 was letting出租 him know
342
846000
3000
但我的父親完全搞砸了。我的母親讓他知道
14:34
how bad he messed搞砸 up. And somebody came來了 to the door
343
849000
3000
他這次有多慘。有人來到了門前
14:37
and delivered交付 food餐飲. My father父親 made製作 three decisions決定.
344
852000
2000
給了我們食物。我的爸爸做了三個決定
14:40
I know what they were briefly簡要地. His focus焦點 was: "This is charity慈善機構.
345
855000
2000
簡短來說,我知道那些決定為何。他的焦點是:「這是慈善。
14:43
What does it mean? I'm worthless無用. What've搞什麼名堂 I got to do?
346
858000
2000
意義為何?我很沒用。我要作什麼?
14:46
Leave離開 my family家庭." Which哪一個 he did. The time was one of the most painful痛苦
347
861000
2000
我要離開這個家庭。」而他也真的離開了。那是我人生中
14:49
experiences經驗 of life. My three decisions決定 gave me a different不同 path路徑.
348
864000
3000
最為痛苦的經驗之一。我的三個決定則給了我不同的路走
14:53
I said, "Focus焦點 on: 'there's'有 food'餐飲'" -- what a concept概念, you know.
349
868000
3000
我告訴我自己。「聚焦在有食物了」你知道,這是多麼了不起的概念
14:56
(Laughter笑聲)
350
871000
1000
(笑聲)
14:57
Second第二 -- but this is what changed my life,
351
872000
1000
其次,這是改變我生命的東西
14:58
this is what shaped成形 me as a human人的 being存在 -- "Somebody's某人的 gift禮品.
352
873000
3000
這是形塑我生而為人的事物:「這是有人給我的禮物,
15:01
I don't even know who it is." My father父親 always said,
353
876000
3000
我甚至不知道他是誰。」我的父親總是說,
15:04
"No one gives a shit拉屎." And all of a sudden突然, somebody I don't know,
354
879000
3000
「沒人在乎」但突然間,有個我不認識的人
15:07
they're not asking for anything, they're just giving our family家庭 food餐飲,
355
882000
2000
他們什麼都不要求,就只是給了我的家庭食物
15:09
looking out for us. It made製作 me believe this: "What does it mean
356
884000
3000
看顧我們。這讓我相信了這個:「陌生人在乎我
15:12
that strangers陌生人 care關心?" And what that made製作 me decide決定 is,
357
887000
3000
對我來說的意義是什麼?而我的決定是,
15:16
if strangers陌生人 care關心 about me and my family家庭, I care關心 about them.
358
891000
1000
如果陌生人在乎我與我的家庭,我也在乎他們。
15:18
What am I going to do? I'm going to do something
359
893000
1000
我要作什麼呢?我要作點事
15:19
to make a difference區別. So, when I was 17, I went out one day
360
894000
3000
造成一些改變與不同。所以當我十七歲時,有天
15:22
on Thanksgiving感恩. It was my target目標 for years年份 to
361
897000
2000
我在感恩節時出門。這是我多年來的目標
15:24

362
899000
1000
有足夠的金錢來餵飽兩個家庭
15:25
The most fun開玩笑 thing I ever did in my life, the most moving移動.
363
900000
2000
最有趣的事情是我在我人生中作到了,這是最感人的一刻。
15:28
Then next下一個 year I did four. I didn't tell anybody任何人 what I was doing.
364
903000
2000
次年,我作到了四個家庭。我沒有告訴任何人我在做的事。
15:30
Next下一個 year eight. I wasn't doing it for brownie布朗尼 points,
365
905000
2000
再次年,八個。我作這個並不是為了任何考績。
15:33
but after eight, I thought, shit拉屎, I could use some help.
366
908000
1000
但八個之後,我想,媽的,我可以找人來幫忙。
15:34
(Laughter笑聲)
367
909000
2000
(笑聲)
15:36
So sure enough足夠, I went out and what did I do?
368
911000
2000
所以當然,我出去後我做了什麼呢?
15:38
I got my friends朋友 involved參與 and I grew成長 companies公司
369

16:17

16:24
And as you move移動 in a direction方向, you have a destination目的地 or destiny命運.
390
959000
2000
當你往其中一個方向發展,你就有了目標或是命運
16:27
The second第二 piece is the map地圖. Think of that as the operating操作 system系統
391
962000
3000
其二是規劃地圖,把他想成操作系統
16:30
that tells告訴 you how to get there. And some people's人們 map地圖 is:
392
965000
2000
他會告訴你怎麼到達目標,有人的地圖是:
16:33
"I'm going to save保存 lives生活 even if I die for other people,"
393
968000
2000
「即便我為他人而死,我也要拯救生命」
16:35
and they're firemen消防員. Somebody else其他 is:
394
970000
1000
他們是救火員,有人的是:
16:37
"I'm going to kill people to do it." They're trying to meet遇到
395
972000
2000
「我要藉著殺人來達成」他們試著滿足
16:39
the same相同 needs需求 of significance意義, right? They want to honor榮譽 God
396
974000
4000
相同重要性的需求,是吧?他們想要榮耀神
16:43
or honor榮譽 their family家庭, but they have a different不同 map地圖.
397
978000
2000
或是他們的家庭。但是他們有著不同的地圖。
16:45
And there are seven different不同 beliefs信仰. I can't go through通過 them
398
980000
2000
而總共有七種不同的信仰。我沒辦法一一帶過
16:47
because I'm doneDONE. The last piece is emotion情感.
399
982000
3000
因為我要作結了。最後則是情緒
16:50
I'd say one of the parts部分 of the map地圖 is like time. Some people's人們 idea理念
400
985000
3000
我會說地圖中的其中一塊像是時間。有人對於長時間的定義
16:53
of a long time is 100 years年份. Somebody else's別人的 is three seconds,
401
988000
3000
是一百年,有人的則是三秒鐘
16:56
which哪一個 is what I have.
402
991000
1000
就像我的一樣
16:57
(Laughter笑聲)
403
992000
1000
(笑聲)
16:58
And the last one I've already已經 mentioned提到, that fell下跌 to you.
404
993000
2000
最後我所提及的,向各位所提及的
17:00
If you've got a target目標 and you've got a map地圖 and let's say --
405
995000
2000
如果你有目標,而且也有了地圖,那讓我們這樣說
17:03
I can't use Google谷歌 because I love Macs蘋果電腦 and they haven't沒有 made製作 it
406
998000
3000
我不能用Google因為我喜歡Macs,而他們在Mac上相關的應用
17:06
good for Macs蘋果電腦 yet然而 -- so if you use MapQuestMapQuest的 -- how many許多 have made製作
407
1001000
2000
還不好,所以如果你用的是MapQuuest,有多少人有在使用
17:08
this fatal致命 mistake錯誤 of using運用 MapQuestMapQuest的 at some time?
408
1003000
2000
MapQuest的過程中犯過這個嚴重錯誤?
17:10
(Laughter笑聲)
409
1005000
1000
(笑聲)
17:11
You use this thing and you don't get there. Well, imagine想像
410
1006000
2000
你用了這個東西而沒有抵達目的。想像
17:13
if your beliefs信仰 guarantee保證 you can never get to where you want to go?
411
1008000
3000
如果你的信念保證你永遠都無法抵達目的地?
17:16
(Laughter笑聲)
412
1011000
1000
(笑聲)
17:17
The last thing is emotion情感.
413
1012000
2000
最後一件事情是情緒
17:19
Now, here's這裡的 what I'll tell you about emotion情感. There are 6,000 emotions情緒
414
1014000
4000
現在,我要告訴你關於情緒的事情是,情緒大概有6000種
17:23
that we all have words for in the English英語 language語言,
415
1018000
2000
我們在英語中都有相關對應的詞彙
17:25
which哪一個 is just a linguistic語言 representation表示, right,
416
1020000
2000
若以語言的方式表現情緒,大概是這樣
17:27
that changes變化 by language語言. But if your dominant優勢 emotions情緒 --
417
1022000
4000
也因此,這些情緒會被語言所改變。但如果你的主要情緒...
17:31
if I had more time, I have 20,000 people or 1,000,
418
1026000
3000
如果我有時間,我找了兩萬人或是一千人
17:34
and I have them write down all the emotions情緒 that they experience經驗
419
1029000
2000
我讓他們在平均一週內寫下他們所有所經歷過的情緒
17:36
in an average平均 week, and I gave them as long as they needed需要,
420
1031000
2000
他們多久我就讓他們寫多久
17:39
and on one side they write empowering授權 emotions情緒,
421
1034000
1000
在其中一端他們寫下賦予他們力量的情緒
17:40
the other's其他 disempowering去權 --
422
1035000
1000
另一端則寫下剝奪他們力量的情緒
17:41
guess猜測 how many許多 emotions情緒 people experience經驗? Less than 12.
423
1036000
2000
猜猜看這些人會經歷多少情緒?少於十二個。
17:44
And half of those make them feel like shit拉屎. So they got five or six
424
1039000
3000
而超過一半以上都讓這些人覺得糟透了。所以他們會有五或是六個
17:47
good frickin'frickin“ feelings情懷, right? It's like they feel "happy快樂, happy快樂,
425
1042000
3000
好的情緒,對吧?像是他們覺得:「快樂、快樂
17:50
excited興奮, oh shit拉屎, frustrated受挫, frustrated受挫, overwhelmed不堪重負, depressed鬱悶."
426
1045000
3000
興奮、不妙、挫折、挫折、受打擊、沮喪。」
17:54
How many許多 of you know somebody who no matter what happens發生
427
1049000
2000
有多少人認識那種不管發生什麼事情
17:56
finds認定 a way to get pissed生氣 off? How many許多 know somebody like this?
428
1051000
2000
都能不爽的人?有多少人認識這樣的人?
17:58
(Laughter笑聲)
429
1053000
1000
(笑聲)
17:59
Or, no matter what happens發生, they find a way to be happy快樂 or excited興奮.
430
1054000
4000
或者,也有那種不管發生什麼事情,都快樂、興奮的人
18:03
How may可能 know somebody like this? Come on.
431
1058000
2000
有多少人認識這種人?來吧!
18:05
When 9/11 happened發生 -- I'll finish with this -- I was in Hawaii夏威夷.
432
1060000
3000
當九一一發生時-讓我以這作結-我在夏威夷。
18:09
I was with 2,000 people from 45 countries國家. We were translating翻譯
433

18:12

計畫延續時間是一週。前一晚,我們稱為
18:17
"Emotional情緒化 Mastering掌握." I got up, had no plan計劃 for the this, and I said --
436
1072000
3000
「精通情緒」我起身,在無計畫的情況下我說
18:21
we had all these fireworks煙花 -- I do crazy shit拉屎, fun開玩笑 stuff東東 --
437

2000
我們放了一堆煙火,且我說了很多瘋狂有趣的東西
18:24
and then at the end結束 I stopped停止 -- I had this plan計劃 I was going to say
438
1079000
2000
然後在結尾我說,我計畫好要說這個
18:26
but I never do what I'm going to say. And all of a sudden突然 I said,
439
1081000
2000
但我從不知道我要說什麼,忽然間我說
18:28
"When do people really start開始 to live生活? When they face面對 death死亡."
440
1083000
4000
「人到底什麼時候真的開始活?當他們面對死亡的時候」
18:32
And then I went through通過 this whole整個 thing about,
441
1087000
1000
當我全部都說完後
18:34
if you weren't going to get off this island, if nine days from now
442
1089000
2000
如果你要離開這個島,如果九天後
18:36
you were going to die, who would you call, what would you say,
443
1091000
3000
你就要死了,你會打電話給誰,你會說什麼
18:39
what would you do? One woman女人 -- well, that night is when 9/11 happened發生 --
444
1094000
4000
你會作什麼?有個女人,那晚就是九一一發生的那晚
18:44
one woman女人 had come to the seminar研討會 and when she came來了 there,
445
1099000
2000
有個女人來了座談會,而當她來的時候
18:46

446
1101000
3000
她的前男友被綁架並殺害了
18:50
Her friend朋友, her new boyfriend男朋友, wanted to marry結婚 her, and she said no.
447
1105000
3000
她的朋友、她的新男友都想娶她,而她拒絕了
18:53
He said, "If you leave離開 and go to that Hawaii夏威夷 thing, it's over with us."
448
1108000
2000
他說:「如果你想去夏威夷參加那活動,我們間就完了」
18:55
She said, "It's over." When I finished that night, she called him
449
1110000
2000
她說:「那就完了」當我當晚結束活動時,她打給了他
18:57
and left a message信息 -- true真正 story故事 -- at the top最佳 of the World世界 Trade貿易 Center中央
450
1112000
3000
並留下個簡訊-這是真實故事-在世界貿易中心頂端

19:13
He said, "I don't know how to tell you this,

他說:「我不知道要怎麼告訴你
19:15

20:06
with a man from New York紐約 who worked工作 in the World世界 Trade貿易 Center中央,
472
1181000
3000
跟一個從紐約來的,在世貿中心工作的人一起帶到台上。

1000
她從通訊錄上劃去了三十個死去的朋友
20:20
And what I did to people is said, "What are we going to focus焦點 on?
477
1195000
3000
而我告訴他們的是:「我們要聚焦的是什麼?」
20:24
What does this mean and what are we going to do?"
478
1199000
2000
這個的意義為何?以及我們接下來要作什麼?
20:27
And I took the group and got people to focus焦點 on:
479
1202000
2000
我讓這群人聚焦
20:29
if you didn't lose失去 somebody today今天, your focus焦點 is going to be
480
1204000
2000
如果你今天沒有失去一些人,你的焦點就會是
20:31

481
1206000
2000
如何去服務另外一些人,有人是...
20:33
then one woman女人 got up and she was so angry憤怒 and screaming尖叫 and yelling大呼小叫.
482
1208000
2000
然後有個女人站了起來,她非常生氣,尖叫、大吼著
20:36
Then I found發現 out she wasn't from New York紐約; she's not an American美國;
483
1211000
1000
然後我發現她不是從紐約來的,她不是美國人
20:38
she doesn't know anybody任何人 here. I said, "Do you always get angry憤怒?"
484
1213000
2000
她不認識在場的任何一位,我說:「你總是生氣嗎?」
20:41
She said, "Yes." Guilty有罪 people got guilty有罪, sad傷心 people got sad傷心.
485
1216000
2000
他說:「是的」罪人總會有罪,而傷心的人總會傷心
20:44
And I took these two men男人 and did what I call an indirect間接 negotiation談判.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Tony Robbins - Life coach; expert in leadership psychology
Tony Robbins makes it his business to know why we do the things we do. The pioneering life coach has spoken to millions of people through his best-selling books and three-day seminars.

Why you should listen

Tony Robbins might have one of the world's most famous smiles; his beaming confidence has helped sell his best-selling line of self-help books, and fill even his 10,000-seat seminars. What's less known about the iconic motivational speaker is the range and stature of his personal clients. From CEOs to heads of state to Olympic athletes, a wide swath of high-performing professionals (who are already plenty motivated, thank you very much) look to him for help reaching their full potential.

Robbins' expertise in leadership psychology is what brought him to TED, where his spontaneous on-stage interaction with Al Gore created an unforgettable TED moment. It also perfectly demonstrated Robbins' direct -- even confrontational -- approach, which calls on his listeners to look within themselves, and find the inner blocks that prevent them from finding fulfillment and success. Some of his techniques -- firewalking, for example -- are magnets for criticism, but his underlying message is unassailable: We all have the ability to make a positive impact on the world, and it's up to us, as individuals, to overcome our fears and foibles to reach that potential.

Robbins has won many accolades for his work -- including his memorable performance in the Jack Black comedy Shallow Hal. (It was a small but vital role.) His Anthony Robbins Foundation works with the homeless, elderly and inner-city youth, and feeds more than 2 million people annually through its International Basket Brigade.
