This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family.

這真的是一個我給高中學生做的2個小時的演講，現在縮到了3分鐘。所有的一切都是從7年前的一天開始，我坐在飛往TED會議的飛機上。在我鄰座坐的是一個高中生，一個十幾歲的年輕人。她生於一個貧窮的家庭而且她的願望是成就一番事業。

And she wanted to make something of her life, and she asked me a simple little question. She said, &34;And I felt really badly, because I couldn&39;m in the middle of a room of successful people! So why don&39;m going to tell you what really leads to success and makes TEDsters tick.

後來我下了飛機，來到TED，忽然間我想到，天啊，我置身於一屋子成功人士之中！為什麼我不問問他們是怎樣走向成功的呢。這樣我就可以把答案告訴孩子們了。所以就這樣，7年中我坐了500次採訪。現在我就要告訴你們是什麼帶來了成功，是什麼啟發了TED演講者們。

And the first thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, &39;m driven by my passion.&39;t do it for money.

第一點是激情，Freeman Thomas 說：「我總是被我的熱情所牽引著」TED的講演者因為有愛才做事情，不是為了錢。

Carol Coletta says, &34; And the interesting thing is: if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.

Carol Colletta 說：「我會付給別人錢去做我的工作。」有趣的是，如果你是為了愛而做的，錢自然而然就來了。

Work! Rupert Murdoch said to me, &39;s all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun.&39;re not workaholics. They&34;To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it.&39;s no magic; it&39;s focus. Norman Jewison said to me, &34;

還有就是專注。Norman Jewison 告訴過我，「我想成功就要使自己專注於一件事情」

And push! David Gallo says, &39;ve got to push, push, push.&39;ve got to push through shyness and self-doubt.

強迫！David Gallo說：「強迫你自己，」「心靈上，神情上。你一定要強迫，強迫，強迫。」「你要強迫自己去戰勝羞澀和自我懷疑。

Goldie Hawn says, &39;t good enough; I wasn&39;t think I&34;Now it&39;s why they invented mothers

Goldie Hawn說：「我總是懷疑自己。懷疑自己不夠優秀，不用聰明。我從不相信我會成功。」想要成功地強迫自己並不總容易，這就是為什麼要發明媽媽。

Frank Gehry said to me, &34;

Frank Gehry-Frank Gehry對我說： &34;

Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, &34;

服務！Sherwin Nuland 說：「能夠作為一名醫生為他人服務是一種榮幸。」

A lot of kids want to be millionaires. The first thing I say is: &39;t serve yourself; you&39;s the way people really get rich.&34;I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software company.&39;d say it was a pretty good idea. And there&39;s just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence.

TED演講者Bill Gates 說：「我曾經有過一個點子，」「成立第一個微機軟體公司。」我必須承認這真的是很好的一個點子。對於能想出點子的創造力來講沒有什麼魔力可言。都是些簡單平常的事情。而且我可以舉出很多證據。

Persist! Joe Kraus says, &34; You&39;ve got to persist through crap! Which of course means &34;

堅持。Joe Kraus 說：「恆心是我們成功地第一條原因。」「你必須堅持度過失敗，你必須堅持度過crap」「這裡的crap是指」批評，拒絕，卑鄙小人和壓力」

So, the answer to this question is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED.Or failing that, do the eight things — and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success.

所以，這個問題的答案很簡單：付4000塊來TED會場。如果不能來，就做到以上八點—-相信我， 這重要的八點就是通向成功的秘訣。
