1. [談對人生的熱情]

It was an achievement worthy of Mahatma Gandhi, conducted with the shrewdness of a lawyer and the idealism of a saint.

The secret of their extraordinary success lay precisely in that insatiable curiosity, that irrepressible desire to know, no matter what the subject and no matter what the cost.

他們取得非凡成就的祕密，是他們永不滿足的好奇心和難以遏制的求知慾，以及對任何事物不計代價的付出。

“Live each day as if it is your last,” (Gandhi) “learn as if you’ll live forever.” This is what I’m passionate about. It is this inextinguishable, undaunted appetite for learning and experience; no matter how risible, no matter how esoteric, no matter how seditious it might seem.

要活就要像明天你就會死去一樣活着(甘地)，要學習就要像你將會永生一樣學習。這就是我的熱情所在，一種對知識和經驗的堅定無畏的渴望，而不管這些知識多麼荒唐，抑或神祕，或看上去別有用心。

Each of you an individual chord, for one definition of health may be that chord is in complete harmony.

Reductive listening is to reduce everything down to what’s relevant, and discard everything that’s not relevant. (men)

刪減性的傾聽是有選擇的聽，只關注想知道的東西而忽略無關緊要的內容(通常男士)。

Expansive listening – get no destination in mind. It’s just enjoying the journey (women typically).

擴展性的傾聽——無明確目標的傾聽，只是享受聽的過程(通常女士)。

Three quick tips to protect your ears: 三種保護聽力的簡單方法：

① Professional hearing protectors 專業聽力保護器

② Headphones of the best kind you can afford 買你能買得起的最好耳機

③ When in bad sound, put your fingers in your ears or just move away from it. 聽到噪音時，最好用手指護住耳朵，或者遠離噪音;

Wind, water, birds – natural sound – all very healthy because all of it that we evolved to over the years.風聲，水聲，鳥聲——大自然的聲音對健康很有好處，因為這些都是我們進化過程中陪伴我們的語言。

Language as decorated silence. 語言即經修飾過的寧靜。

To design soundscapes just like words of art, that has a foreground, a background, all in beautiful proportion.

Many of our technological innovations, the devices we dream about, can inspire us to be better humans.

Little things, done right, matter.

無論多小的事情，做對了就會有大用。

Well-designed moments can build brands.

精心設計的細節很容易產生品牌效應。

4. [你為何不會成就偉業]

能幫助你成就自己才華的最好的一樣東西，就是熱忱。

You really think it’s appropriate that you should actually take children and use them as a shield?

5. [温和的成功哲學]

For good or for ill, we generate these incredible stories about the world around us, and then the world turns around and astonishes us.

無論好壞，我們創造了關於周遭世界的絕妙故事，而世界也轉過身來，令我們大吃一驚。

A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are.

勢利的人以一小部分的你來判別你的全部價值。

I don’t think we are particularly materialistic. I think we live in a society which has simply pegged certain emotional rewards to the acquisition of material goods. It’s not the material goods we want, it’s the rewards we want. And that’s a new way of looking at luxury goods. The next time you see somebody driving a Ferrari, don’t think “This is somebody who is greedy”, think “this is somebody who is incredibly vulnerable and in need of love.” In other words, feel sympathy, rather than contempt.

我並不認為我們特別看重物質，而是生活在一個物質能帶來大量情感反饋的時代。我們想要的不是物質，而是背後的情感反饋。這賦予奢侈品一個嶄新的含意。下次你看到那些開着法拉利跑車的人，不要去想“這個人很貪婪”，而應想：“這是一個無比脆弱且渴望愛的人。”也就是説，同情他們，不要鄙視他們。

The closer two people are, in age, in background, in the process of identification, the more there is a danger of envy.

越是兩個年齡背景相近的人，越容易陷入嫉妒的苦海。

(What do you do?) And according to how you answer that question, people are either incredibly delighted to see you, or look at their watch and make their excuses.

(你做什麼工作?)你對這個問題的答案，將決定對方接下來的反應。對方可能表示深感榮幸認識你，或是開始看錶，然後想個藉口離開。

Most people make a strict correlation between how much time and if you like, love – not romantic love, though that may be something – but love in general, respect they are willing to accord us, that will be strictly defined by our position in the social hierarchy.

大部分世人決定要花費多少時間給予多少愛(不一定是浪漫的愛情，雖然那也包括在內)他們所願意給我們的關愛，尊重取決於我們的社會地位。

The idea that we will make a society where literally everybody is graded, the good at the top, and the bad at the bottom, and it’s exactly done as it should be, is impossible. There are simply too many random factors; we’ll never get to grade them. Hold your horses when you’re coming to judge people. You don’t necessarily know someone’s true value is. That’s an unknown part of them.

那種能創造出一個好人在上，壞人在下，中無任何差錯的社會的觀點，是不現實的。這世上有太多偶然的契機，我們卻無從將這些因素分級。在開口評論他人之前，請千萬三思而後行。你很有可能不知道他人的真正價值，那是他人的不可測部分。

You cannot be successful at everything. So any vision of success has to admit what it’s losing out on, where the element of loss is.

你不可能在所有事情上都成功，所有成功實例必須承認它們同時也失去了一些東西，放棄了一些東西。

There is going to be an element where we are not succeeding. It’s bad enough not getting what we want, but it’s even worse to have an idea of what it is you want and find out at the end of a journey that it isn’t, in fact, what you wanted all along.

總是有些什麼是我們得不到的。得不到自己想要的已經夠糟糕了，更糟糕的是，在你人生旅程的終點，發覺你所追求的，從來不是你真正想要的。

6. [精神病測試的另類答案]

Capitalism, perhaps at its most remorseless, is a physical manifestation of psychopathy.

冷酷無情的資本主義正是精神疾病的物質表現。

So I changed tack.

於是我改變了策略。

7. [音樂的力量]

The most miserable and tragic thing about poverty is not the lack of bread or roof, but the feeling of being no-one, the feeling of not being anyone, the lack of identification, the lack of public esteem.

關於貧窮最可憐和最悲慘的事情，並不是沒有面包可吃，沒有房子可住，而是根本沒有自我意識，缺乏存在感，缺乏自我認同，不被公眾尊重。

I have come to know the mutability of all human relations and have learned to isolate myself from heat and cold so that the temperature balance is fairly well assured. –Elbert Einstein

我已熟悉一切人際關係的變幻無常，也學會漠視這種世態炎涼，以保證我的心態平衡。——愛因斯坦

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. –the Golden Rule

你們願意人怎樣對待你們，你們也要怎樣待人。——耶穌的黃金法則

The road to success is lined with many tempting parking spaces.

通向成功的路旁充斥着許多誘人的休息區。

It’s going to be a society that’s way in advance of our own. We’re not inevitably doomed to self-destruction.

8. [我們真的需要月亮嗎?]

When the Earth is spinning very fast, it was very stable. But as it slows down, it will be lose its stability and start to wobble had it not been for the moon.

地球在快速轉動時，狀態十分穩定。但它放慢速度後就會失去穩定性，開始晃動。如果沒有月亮，情況就會是這樣。

The angle of earth’s spin is constant only because the moon’s gravitational pull.

地球的自轉角度能夠保持不變，完全是因為有了月球的引力拉動。

We piece together the fragment of memory to create the idea of future.

我們靠收集記憶碎片去創造未來的想象。

It seems that a lot of unconscious brain activities going on that are shaping on your decision, and your consciousness comes in very late stage of the decisions.

似乎有大量的無意識大腦活動在塑造你的決定，而你的意識在決定中表現得很滯後。

9. [如何實現生活與工作的平衡]

And the reality of the society that we’re in is there are thousands and thousands of people out there leading lives of quiet, screaming desperation, where they work long hard hours at jobs they hate to enable them to buy things they don’t need to impress people they don’t like.

現實社會的情況是：成千上萬的人們都在平靜的絕望中煎熬。他們夜以繼日地從事他們痛恨的職業，目的是為了購買無用的商品，以博得無關痛癢的鄰人的豔羨。

If you don’t design your life, someone else will design it for you, and you may just not like their idea of balance. –To take control and responsibility for the type of lives that we want to lead by ourselves.

如果你不規劃自己的生活，那麼別人就會為你規劃，而他們對平衡的處理，你往往並不認同。所以，要自己承擔起選擇自己生活軌跡的重任。

10. [美妙生活的三個祕訣]

Living with a sense of awareness of the world around you.

主動感知你周遭的世界

Embracing your inner three year-old and seeing the tiny joys that make life so sweet.

擁抱內心中那個三歲的自己，意識到讓生活美好的那些小小快樂。

Being authentic to yourself-being you and being cool with that. 做真實的自己，心安理得做自己。

Letting your heart lead you and putting yourself in experiences that satisfy you.

順從自己的心意，讓自己置身於能讓你快樂的事務中。

11. [抑鬱，我們各自隱藏的祕密]

I hope that 50 years hence people will hear about my treatment and be appalled that anyone endured such primitive science.

我希望50年後人們聽到我接受的治療方法後，會震驚於竟然有人願意忍受如此原始簡單的科學。

Depression is the flaw in love. If you were married to someone and thought: “Well, if my wife dies, I’ll find another one.” It wouldn’t be love as we know it. There is no such thing as love without the anticipation of loss, and that specter of despair can be the engine of intimacy.

抑鬱是愛的缺陷。如果你跟一個人結婚後想的是：“如果我的妻子去世了我會再找一個。”據我所知，這不叫愛。沒有哪種愛情，是可以只感受幸福而不體驗失去的。這種絕望的幽靈，會成為親密關係的動力。

Romantic love is one of the most addictive substances on Earth.

愛情的確是世界上最讓人成癮的東西。

They didn’t take people out in the sunshine where you begin to feel better; they didn’t play drum or music to get people love going, they didn’t involve the whole community; they didn’t externalize the depression as an invasive spirit; instead what they did was they took people one at a time into dingy little rooms, and had them talk for an hour about bad things that had happened to them.

他們不會讓人去陽光下活動，雖然這會讓人感覺舒服;他們不使用音樂或打鼓的方式激發人們的情緒，他們不會讓整個社區參與其中，他們也沒有將抑鬱外顯為一種惡靈進行驅逐;相反，他們把那些抑鬱的人單獨地帶到一個昏暗的小房間，花一個小時讓他們回憶發生在他們身上的悲慘的事情。

12. [真正的成功]

The good Lord in his infinite wisdom didn’t create us all equal as far as intelligence is concerned; any more than we’re equal for size, appearance. Not everybody could earn an A or a B.

有着無窮智慧的可敬的上帝並沒有把我們人類在智力上製造成一模一樣的，就像身高體重和相貌的不同。不是每一個人都能夠拿到“優秀”或“良好”的分數。

Never cease trying to be the best you can be—that’s under your control. If you get too engrossed and involved and concerned in regard to the things over which you have no control, it will adversely affect the things over which you have control.

永遠不要停止盡你所能以達到最佳的努力——這是你所能控制的事。如果你太沉迷於自己無法控制的一些事情之中，陷入其中，為之而煩惱，就會反過來影響那些你自己能控制的東西。

At God’s footstool to confess, a poor soul knelt, and bowed his head. “I failed!” He cried. The Master said, “Thou didst thy best, that’s success.”

一個可憐的靈魂，跪在台階上向上帝懺悔，低垂着頭，“我失敗了”，他痛哭着説。上帝説：“你盡了全力，這就是成功。”

I always tried to make the youngsters feel that they’re there to get an education, No. 1; basketball was second, because it was paying their way; and they do need a little time for social activities, but you let social activities take a little precedence over the other two and you’re not going to have any very long.

我一直儘量讓年青人覺得他們是來受教育的，這應放在第一位。籃球是第二位的，畢竟這是經濟來源。他們的確需要一點時間來社交，但是如果你讓社交活動比另外兩個優先哪怕一點點，你將在不久之後什麼都沒有。

We win or lose within ourselves. The shining trophies on our shelves can never win tomorrow’s game. There’s always a chance to win the crown. But when we fail to give our best, we simply haven’t met the test, of giving all and saving none until the game is really won; of showing what is meant by grit; of playing through when others quit; of playing through, not letting up… For who can ask more of a man than giving all within his span?’s what really matters: if you make effort to do the best you can regularly, the results will be about what they should be. Not necessary to what you would want them to be, but they will be about what they should; and only you will know whether you can do that.

我們勝利或者失敗都根源於我們自己。架子上光閃閃的獎品不能讓我們贏得未來的比賽。永遠都有機會去贏得桂冠。但是當我們沒有竭盡全力，我們就沒有通過這個人生測試，這個測試需要全力付出毫無保留，直到在比賽中勝出;需要表現什麼是堅忍不拔，需要在別人退出的時候還繼續奮鬥;需要戰鬥下去，決不放棄。……因為誰能向一個已經全力以赴的人要求更多?……真正重要的'是：如果你經常努力去盡你所能做到做好，結果就會是它們所應當成為的樣子，雖然不一定能達到你所希望的狀態，但是會大約是它們理應變成的狀態，而且，是否能達到這個境界，只有你自己最清楚(別人無法幫助你做任何判斷)。

13. [我們為什麼做我們正在做的事?]

I believe that the invisible force of internal drive, activated is the most important in the world. I’m here because I believe emotion is the force of life… If we get the right emotion, we can get ourselves to do anything. If you’re creative enough, playful enough, fun enough, can you get through to anybody? Yes or No? If you don’t have the money, but you’re creative and determined enough, you will find the way. So this is the ultimate resource. But this is not the story that people tell us…If decisions shape destiny, what determines it is three decisions:

What am I going to focus on?

What does it mean?

What are you going to do?

我相信激發內在驅動的無形力量是世界上最重要的事。我之所以站在這裏，是因為我相信情緒是生命的力量。……如果我們處於對的情緒狀態，我們能讓自己做成任何事。如果你夠創意，夠幽默，夠有趣，你能否和任何人溝通?能還是不能?如果你沒有錢，但你有足夠的創意和決心，你就會找到方法。這就是終極資源——但人們告訴我們往往是天花亂墜的另一回事。……如果決定塑造我們的命運，左右我們資源的則是三個決定：

我把注意力放在什麼地方?

這個重心有何意義?

下一步行動將是什麼?

Psychological strength, that’s the difference in human beings. 精神力量，就是人與人之間最關鍵的差別。

14. [全球幸福指數Happy Planet Index]

Think of a deer. A deer freezes very, very still, poised to run away. And I think that’s what we’re doing when we’re asking people to engage with our agenda around environmental degradation and climate change. People are freezing and running away. Because we are using fear.

想象一隻鹿。一隻鹿會停下來一動不動，做好逃跑的準備。我想這就是我們所做的，當我們要求人們加入到我們的環境破壞和氣候改變的計劃的時候，人們停下來，然後準備逃跑。因為我們採取了恐懼策略。

To the top right of the graph are countries which are doing reasonably well and producing well-being, but they’re using a lot of planet to get there. They’re the U.S.A., other Western countries going across in those triangles and a few Gulf states in there actually. Conversely, at the bottom left of the graph, are countries that are not producing much well-being—typically, sub-Saharan Africa. In Hobbesian terms, life is short and brutish there. The average life expectancy in many of these countries is only 40 years…The country on its own up at the top is Costa Rica, with an average life expectancy is 78-and-a-half years, which is the happiest nation on this planet.

在這個圖的右上角是一些提供幸福生活上做得比較好的國家，但代價是他們用了地球很多的資源。包括美國，其他一些在那些三角形上的西方國家，還有幾個波斯灣的國家。相反地，在這個圖的左下方，是那麼沒有提供多少幸福生活的國家——典型的便是非洲撒哈拉以南的國家，照托馬斯霍布斯的説法，那裏的生活是短暫而又粗野的。在很多這些國家的人均壽命只有40歲。在圖的上方獨佔鰲頭的國家是哥斯達黎加，人均壽命是78.5歲。這就是地球上最快樂的國家。

What five positive actions can you do to improve well-being in your life?

--To connect. Keep building your social relationships, which are the most important cornerstones of your life.

--To be active—the fastest way out of a bad mood.

--To take notice. Do you notice what’s bubbling up for you and trying to emerge?

--To keep learning. Older people who keep learning and are curious have much better health outcomes than those who start to close down.

--To give. Hardwired to the reward mechanism in our brain.

你可以做哪五件積極的事來讓你的生命更幸福?

——與人保持聯繫，你的社會關係是你生命的基石。

——保持活躍——擺脱壞心情的最快方法。

——關心周圍。注意身邊哪些東西在醖釀中，而且快要發生。

——不斷學習。堅持學習的老人的健康狀況比那些閉塞的老人要好得多。

——學會付出。天生與人腦內的獎勵機制直接相連。
