| 92 | Answering phones and sending faxes. | 接电话和传真 |

| 106 | Unfortunately, a lot of these news stations received thousands of applications thousands of tapes | 不幸的是,很多这些新闻台收到了数千份申请 成千上万的录音带 |

| 117 | You need to be competitive you need to have that drive to succeed and compete with one another | 你需要有竞争力,你需要有 驱动成功和相互竞争 |

| 119 | Abraham Lincoln once said that the best way to predict the future is to create it in order for me to be successful | 亚伯拉罕·林肯曾经说过 预测未来的最佳方式 就是创造未来 让我成功 |
| 120 | I don't believe that I need to take anything away from anyone else now, of course, you know | 我相信我现在不需要从别人那里夺走任何东西 当然,你知道的 |
| 121 | There are some advantages to looking at your peers for inspiration | 看你的同龄人来取灵感有一定好处 |
| 122 | Definitely, but I think that having a competitive spirit having that need for one-upmanship and comparing yourself to other people again and again | 当然,但我觉得,有 竞争精神 需要一举一动, 并比较自己 与其他人一次又一次 |
| 123 | Can actually bring out fears and insecurities that end up holding you back | 能够带来恐惧和不安全感 最终拖住你 |
| 124 | so when I was when I was interviewing for a | 所以当我在面试的时候 |
| 125 | another position in CNN the anchor job, I was sort of sat next to a girl who I was competing for the same job with and | 在CNN的另外一个职位,主播工作, 我有点坐在旁边 一个女孩,我竞争 同一工作, |
| 126 | Rather than sort of not wish her well | 而不是不祝她好运 |
| 127 | I sat with her for hours and I helped her I showed her what she could improve upon | 我陪了她好几个小时,帮了她 我给她看了她能改进的东西 |
| 128 | So she had just to get a chance of getting the job as I did | 所以她要像我一样得到一份工作 |
| 129 | I went in for the screen test first I came out and I told her everything they asked me and how she should prepare | 我走进屏幕测试 我出来,我告诉她一切 他们问我,她应该如何准备 |

| 132 | I don't believe in competing for what's already been created | 我不相信竞争已经创造的东西 |
| 133 | The third thing I honestly believe is to give | 我真心相信的第三件事就是给 |
| 134 | Because it has been it has become abundantly clear to me in life that the more you give the more you receive I | 因为在生活中,我非常清楚 你付出的越多 |
| 135 | Learned this lesson from a woman named Kat Cole who I interviewed for a story for CNN. | 从一个叫Kat Cole的女人身上学到了这个教训 我为CNN采访了一个故事 |
| 136 | She's a corporate CEO and | 她是公司首席执行官 |
| 137 | She started her career as a waitress at Hooters. | 她开始了在Hooters的女服务员生涯. |
| 138 | Now, I don't know | 现在,我不知道 |

| 140 | But it's a it's a restaurant chain in America where the waitress is a very scantily clad | 但它是一个餐厅链 在美国,服务员是一个非常微弱的 |
| 141 | That's how she started off and I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment | 她就是这样开始的,我好奇 从那种环境的转变 |
| 142 | Especially because she grew up poor and her mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and | 特别是因为她长大后很穷 她母亲每周存十块钱做首席执行官 |
| 143 | Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her | 特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉 |
| 144 | So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well paid | 所以她说她不知道有钱是什么感觉 尽管她薪水很高 |
| 145 | Because she still gives most of her money away to this day | 因为今天她还把大部分钱都还了 |
| 146 | Because it was clear to her that the more you give in life the more you receive | 因为她很清楚你付出的越多 你得到的越多 |
| 147 | so this had a pretty deep impact on me because I've interviewed a lot of CEOs for CNN and I've interviewed a lot of | 所以这对我影响很大 因为我为CNN采访了很多CEO |
| 148 | Founders for tech startups some of whom have made millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars | 科技创业的创始人 其中一些已经赚了数百万甚至几亿美元 |
| 149 | And usually what they say is you want to be successful you need to network | 通常他们说你想成功 你需要联网 |
| 150 | You've got to have a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well | 你必须有一个品牌 你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议 |
| 151 | But certainly the moral of her story was that the more you give the more you receive and I can tell you that | 但肯定的道德 她的故事是, 你给予的越多 你得到的,我可以告诉你 |
| 152 | I've tried it I've tested it and I don't necessarily believe in giving just to receive but she is right | 我试过了,我试过了 我不一定相信只为了接受,但她是对的 |
| 153 | The more you give the more you receive and the last thing I'm gonna say | 你付出的越多 你得到的越多 我要说的最后一件事 |
| 154 | It is loosely related to hard work. | 它与辛勤工作关系松散。 |
| 155 | And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche | 当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调 |
| 156 | I'd heard it so many times growing up and that is success comes when opportunity meets preparation | 我听过很多次了,长大了 机会满足了准备,成功就来了 |
| 157 | I'd heard that so many times. | 我听过很多次了 |
| 158 | I thought it was a cliche | 我以为是陈词滥调 |
| 159 | I never really paid attention to it only now do I realize how true that really is. | 我从来没有真正关注它 直到现在,我意识到 这是多真实的。 |
| 160 | I'll give you an example | 我举个例子 |
| 161 | So when I was in local news in New York, I really wanted to work my way up to get into national news | 所以当我在纽约的地方新闻里, 我真的想努力去了解国家新闻 |
| 162 | I'd always wanted to work for CNN since I was a teenager and I realized after studying different reporters and how they made it | 我少年时就一直想为CNN工作 我研究了不同的记者 以及他们是如何做到的 |
| 163 | I realized that it was crucial for me to have a specialty some sort of expertise something that I could do | 我意识到 拥有某种专长 对我很重要 我能做到的 |
| 164 | better than others | 比别人好 |
| 165 | I guess and | 我想还有 |
| 166 | So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter and I was very passionate about business news | 从体育记者到政治记者或商业记者 我对商业新闻很感兴趣 |
| 167 | So while I was working in local news | 所以当我在本地新闻工作时 |
| 168 | I decided to study and teach myself business news | 我决定学习和教自己商业新闻 |
| 169 | Not necessarily because there was an opportunity coming my way or there was an interview that I was preparing for | 不一定是因为我有机会过来 或者我正准备面试 |
| 170 | But because I trusted that one day an opportunity would have come and I needed to be ready | 但因为我相信 总有一天机会会降临 我需要准备好 |
| 171 | So every weekend I went to the library one weekend | 所以每个周末我都去图书馆一个周末 |

| 174 | The librarians on 33rd and Madison in New York got to know me very well because oftentimes I'd be the last person to leave | 纽约33街和麦迪逊街的图书管理员都非常了解我 因为经常我会是最后一个离开的人 |
| 175 | So after doing that for a few years eventually by pure chance | 几年之后 最终是偶然的 |
| 176 | I happened to meet an executive at CNN and I asked him which department he worked in | 我碰巧在有线电视新闻网遇到一个高管 我问他在哪部门工作 |
| 177 | He said he ran the business news unit and he was looking for a reporter | 他说他经营商业新闻股 他在找记者 |

| 179 | News test as well | 还有新闻测试 |
| 180 | So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare | 所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备 |
| 181 | But in my mind I knew in my heart that I had been preparing for years | 但我心里知道 我准备多年 |
| 182 | So this is a lesson as well that I'd learnt from my older brother | 这也是我从哥哥那里学到的教训 |
| 183 | Some of you have already approached me about him, but my older brother is an actor | 你们中有些人已经找过我,但我哥哥是个演员 |
| 184 | And he starred in a movie that came out this time last year called 12 years a slave | 他主演了一部电影 这部电影在去年的这个时候 被称为12年奴隶 |

| 187 | When he was 13 years old, he would lock himself in his room and write Shakespeare on the walls and | 当他13岁时,他会把自己锁在房间里 并在墙上写莎士比亚 |

| 189 | Not because he had an audition coming up | 不是因为他的试镜即将到来 |
| 190 | But just in case in a few years an audition came his way. | 但几年后 试镜就来了 |
| 191 | He wanted to be ready | 他想做好准备 |
| 192 | It didn't matter how many times he had to do it | 他必须做多少次不重要 |
| 193 | He did it again and again and again until he got it, right | 他一次又一次的做 直到他得到了它,对不对? |
| 194 | most people wait until | 大多数人等待到 |
| 195 | They get the call for a job interview before they begin to prepare or they wait until they get the call for an audition | 在他们开始准备之前 他们接到面试电话 或者等到他们接到面试电话 |
| 196 | Because before they begin to rehearse, but my brother taught me to prepare well before you get that call | 在他们开始排练之前 我哥哥教我在接到电话之前好好准备 |

| 126 | You know, there are some advantages to looking at your peers for inspiration | 你知道,有一些好处 看你的同伴的灵感 |
| 127 | Definitely, but I think that having a competitive spirit having that need for one-upmanship and comparing yourself to other people again | 当然,但我觉得有种竞争精神 需要一举一动 并且再次把自己和别人相比 |
| 128 | And again can actually bring out fears and insecurities that end up holding you back | 还会再次带来恐惧和不安全感 最终会阻碍你 |
| 129 | so when I was when I was interviewing for a | 所以当我在面试的时候 |
| 130 | another position in CNN the anchor job, I was sort of sat next to a girl who I was competing for the same job with and | 在CNN的另外一个职位,主播工作, 我有点坐在旁边 一个女孩,我竞争 同一工作, |
| 131 | Rather than sort of not wish her well | 而不是不祝她好运 |
| 132 | I sat with her for hours and I helped her I showed her what she could improve upon | 我陪了她好几个小时,帮了她 我给她看了她能改进的东西 |
| 133 | So she had just a good a chance of getting the job as I did | 所以,她只是有一个很好的机会 得到这份工作像我一样 |
| 134 | I went in for the screen test first. | 我先进去做屏幕测试的 |
| 135 | I came out and I told her everything they asked me and how she should prepare | 我出来了,我告诉她一切 他们问我,她应该如何准备 |

| 140 | Because it has been it has become abundantly clear to me in life that the more you give the more you receive. | 因为在生活中你付出的越多 你得到的越多 |
| 141 | I | 一、导 言 |
| 142 | Learned this lesson from a woman named Kat Cole who I interviewed for a story for CNN. | 从一个叫Kat Cole的女人身上学到了这个教训 我为CNN采访了一个故事 |
| 143 | She's a corporate CEO and | 她是公司首席执行官 |
| 144 | She started her career as a waitress at Hooters now | 她现在开始在Hooters当服务员 |
| 145 | I don't know | 我不知道,你觉得呢? |

| 147 | I don't know if you have Hooters in England | 我不知道你在英国有没有Hooters |
| 148 | but it's a it's a restaurant chain in America where the the waitress is a very scantily plait and that's how she started off and | 但它是一个餐厅链 在美国,服务员是一个非常微薄的格子, 这就是她是如何开始的, |
| 149 | I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment, especially because she grew up poor and her | 我对摆脱这种环境感到好奇 尤其是因为她从小就贫穷 |
| 150 | mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and | 妈妈每周存十块钱做首席执行官 |
| 151 | Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her | 特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉 |
| 152 | So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well-paid | 所以她说她不知道有钱的感觉 虽然她薪水很高 |
| 153 | Because she still gives most of her money away to this day because it was clear to her that the more you give in life | 因为她今天还把大部分钱都给了她 因为她很清楚你付出的越多 |
| 154 | The more you receive | 你得到的越多 |
| 155 | So this had a pretty deep impact on me because I've interviewed a lot of CEOs for CNN | 所以这对我影响很大 因为我采访了CNN的许多CEO |
| 156 | And I've interviewed a lot of founders for tech startups some of whom have made | 我采访了许多科技创业的创始人 其中一些人 |

| 158 | a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well | 一个品牌,你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议 |
| 159 | but certainly the moral of her story was that the more you give the more you receive and I can tell you that I've | 但是她的故事的道德是 你付出的越多 我就能告诉你 |
| 160 | Tried it I've tested it and I don't necessarily believe in giving just to receive but she is right | 试过了,我试过了 我不一定相信只为了接受她 |
| 161 | The more you give the more you receive and the last thing I'm going to say it is loosely related to hard work | 你给的越多,我最后要说的 和辛勤工作的关系就越大 |
| 162 | And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche | 当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调 |
| 163 | I'd heard it so many times growing up and that is success comes when opportunity meets preparation | 我听过很多次了,长大了 机会满足了准备,成功就来了 |
| 164 | I'd heard that so many times. | 我听过很多次了 |

| 168 | So when I was in local news in New York, I really wanted to work my way up to get into national news | 所以当我在纽约的地方新闻里, 我真的想努力去了解国家新闻 |
| 169 | I'd always wanted to work for CNN since I was a teenager and I realized after studying different reporters and how they made it | 我少年时就一直想为CNN工作 我研究了不同的记者 以及他们是如何做到的 |
| 170 | I realized that it was crucial for me to have a specialty some sort of expertise something that I could do better than others | 我意识到,关键是拥有一种专长 某种我比别人更好的专长 |
| 171 | I guess and | 我想还有 |
| 172 | So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter | 所以从体育记者到政治记者 或商业记者都一样 |
| 173 | And I was very passionate about business news | 我非常热衷于商业新闻 |
| 174 | So while I was working in local news | 所以当我在本地新闻工作时 |
| 175 | I decided to study and teach myself business news not necessarily because | 我决定学习和教导自己 商业新闻并不一定因为 |
| 176 | There was an opportunity coming my way or there was an interview that I was preparing for | 有一个机会,我走过来 或有一个采访 我准备 |
| 177 | Because I trusted that one day an opportunity would have come and I needed to be ready | 因为我相信 总有一天机会会降临 我需要准备好 |

| 187 | as well | 还有 |
| 188 | So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare | 所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备 |
| 189 | But in my mind I knew in my heart I had been preparing for years | 但我心里知道 我准备多年 |
| 190 | So this is a lesson as well that I'd learnt from my older brother | 这也是我从哥哥那里学到的教训 |
| 191 | Some of you have already approached me about him, but my older brother is an actor | 你们中有些人已经找过我,但我哥哥是个演员 |
| 192 | And he starred in a movie that came out this time last year called 12 years a slave | 他主演了一部电影 这部电影在去年的这个时候 被称为12年奴隶 |

| 141 | That's how she started off and I was curious about the transition from going from that kind of environment | 她就是这样开始的,我好奇 从那种环境的转变 |
| 142 | Especially because she grew up poor and her mother saved ten dollars a week for food to now being a CEO and | 特别是因为她长大后很穷 她母亲每周存十块钱做首席执行官 |
| 143 | Especially financially I wanted to know what that was like for her | 特别在经济上 我想知道这对她来说是什么感觉 |
| 144 | So she said she didn't really know what it felt like to have money even though she was being well paid | 所以她说她不知道有钱是什么感觉 尽管她薪水很高 |

| 150 | You've got to have a brand you've got to study your competition and she had some practical advice as well | 你必须有一个品牌 你必须研究你的竞争 她有一些实用的建议 |

| 155 | And when I first heard this phrase, I thought it was such a cliche | 当我第一次听到这句话时,我认为这是个陈词滥调 |

| 164 | better than others | 比别人好 |

| 166 | So that could be anything from being a sports reporter to being a political reporter or a business reporter and I was very passionate about business news | 从体育记者到政治记者或商业记者 我对商业新闻很感兴趣 |

| 180 | So in his mind he felt guilty because he only had given me two weeks to prepare | 所以在他的思想中,他感到内疚,因为他只给我两周时间准备 |
