Rock bottom can actually be a great place to start,

巖底其實可以是一個很好的開始。

because in a way what have you got to lose?

因為在某種程度上，你有什麼可失去的？

過去簡單式

When I was 25 I was a single mum with three small children,

當我25歲的時候，我是一個帶著三個小孩的單親媽媽。

我決定，必須要改變一些事情。

But what I didn't realise was that by changing my life,

但我沒有意識到的是，通過改變我的生活。

I also changed the lives of many other women all around the world.

我還改變了全世界許多其他婦女的生活。

with my husband screaming that he was going to kill us all.

我的丈夫尖叫著說他要殺了我們所有人。

He had threatened me before, but I somehow hadn't taken it seriously.

他以前也曾威脅過我，但我不知為何沒當回事。

So I got a suitcase, packed up our stuff.

於是我拿了個行李箱，收拾好我們的東西。

I put the twins in the double buggy, got my three-year-old daughter,

我把雙胞胎放進了雙人越野車，把三歲的女兒接過來。

and a few hours later I was in a refuge on the other side of London.

幾個小時後，我在倫敦另一邊的避難所裡。

I thought, “So what am I going to do now?”

My favourite subject at school was maths.

我在學校最喜歡的科目是數學。

So I enrolled for a maths course at Southwark College.

於是我報考了南華克學院的數學課程。

And the first day I went in, I was so scared.

而我進去的第一天，我很害怕。

I walked into the classroom and it was full of mainly men in suits.

我走進教室，教室裡主要是穿著西裝的男人。

But I saw a woman sitting at the back of the classroom,

但我看到教室後面坐著一個女人。

and in fact we came top of the class at the end of the year.

而事實上，我們在年底的時候也是班級的第一名。

and eventually I got an OBE which was amazing.

最終我得到了一個OBE，這是驚人的。

and I realised that if I really wanted to be successful,

我意識到，如果我真的想成功。

I was going to have to change from being a shy 25-year-old

我將不得不從一個25歲的羞澀的人改變過來

who was scared to even talk to people I didn't know,

誰是害怕甚至說話 我不知道的人。

I've got a ritual that I do every time before I'm public speaking.

我有一個儀式，我每次在公開演講前都會做。

I go into the toilets, and I will say positive things to myself.

我走進廁所，我會對自己說一些積極的事情。

So I'll go, “I'm an amazing person. I can do anything I want to do.”

所以，我會去，"我是一個了不起的人，我可以做任何我想做的事情。我可以做任何我想做的事情。"

或者站在更多的超級英雄的姿勢。

means that I go on to the stage feeling very positive

意味著我在舞臺上的感覺非常積極。

Last year I was speaking to 17,000 women in tech

去年，我對17000名科技界女性進行了演講。

在佛羅里達州奧蘭多的一次會議上。

And at the end of my talk I got everyone -

在我的演講結束時，我讓大家------。

If you think you can go for a promotion, go for it.

如果你認為你可以去升職，就去吧。

Every time I could apply for promotion I did.

每次能申請晉升的時候，我都申請了。

In several years I got promoted probably four or five times,

幾年來，我大概升了四五次職。

and that actually just massively changed my life

而這實際上只是大規模地改變了我的生活。

and it enabled me to affect lots of other people's lives

它使我能夠影響很多其他人的生活。

I was in a classroom talking to maybe about 15 mums.

我在教室裡和大概15個媽媽哈拉。

And as I was talking I started realising,

當我說話的時候，我開始意識到。

"Oh my goodness, I'm getting a hot flush, feeling a bit hot."

"天啊，我的天啊，我臉紅了，感覺有點熱。"

so I thought well I'm just going to tell everyone what's happening

所以我想好了，我只是要告訴大家發生了什麼。

and actually that seemed to help us really bond with each other.

而實際上，這似乎幫助我們真正建立了彼此的聯繫。

The more that we make ourselves vulnerable,

talk about things that we wouldn't normally expect to talk about,

談論那些我們通常不會想到的事情。

helps everyone to realise that we're all human and we all go through this.

幫助大家認識到，我們都是人，我們都會經歷這些。

I've over the years changed myself by pushing myself forward -

這些年來，我通過不斷地推陳出新來改變自己------。

going for things that scare me half to death.

The main message I would have to anybody is

just get out there and do the things you want to do.

只是走出去，做你想做的事情。

You've only got one life. Just go for it.
