A high performance mindset requires being eager in the face of the mundane and the vexing.

高效能的心態要求我們在面對平凡和令人煩惱的事情時充滿熱情。

情態副詞

Part of the challenge of understanding this is simply that we see the products of success.

理解這一點的部分挑戰在於，我們看到的只是成功的產物。

情態助動詞 B1

And so you might see an NBA player at the peak of their career doing something amazing.

是以，你可能會看到一位正處於職業生涯巔峰期的 NBA 球員做出驚人的舉動。

You might see a captain of business handling with aplomb the challenges of their work.

你可能會看到一位業務隊長在應對工作挑戰時表現得遊刃有餘。

But you don't see the precursors to that.

但是，你卻看不到這方面的先兆。

Training in basketball for me was so boring.

I remember doing entire sessions that were just me catching a ball, doing a pivot, pivoting back, passing the ball for half an hour.

我還記得，在整整半小時的訓練中，我都只是在接球、轉體、迴轉、傳球。

But that's what you need to be able to tolerate if you're trying to achieve something remarkable.

但是，如果你想取得非凡的成就，就必須能夠忍受這些。

Because it comes through handling stuff that frustrates and confuses you.

因為它是通過處理那些令你沮喪和困惑的事情而產生的。

And it comes through repetition, ad nauseum of things that seem small and unimportant until they're combined.

而這一切都源於重複，源於不斷重複那些看似微不足道的事情，直到把它們結合在一起。

I'm a psychologist, a professor of leadership at the University of Exeter Business School.

我是一名心理學家，埃克塞特大學商學院的領導力教授。

I've written a couple of books, including The Promises of Giants.

我寫過幾本書，包括《巨人的承諾》。

And I used to play basketball in the NBA.

I wrote in my school yearbook that I was going to earn a lot of money and play in an NBA team.

我在學校年鑑上寫道，我要賺很多錢，去 NBA 球隊打球。

It was a stupid teenager's kind of goal and something so rare in terms of Britain.

這是一個愚蠢的青少年的進球，在英國非常罕見。

Everybody told me it had never been done.

每個人都告訴我，從來沒有人這麼做過。

Everybody told me that a fat kid from Stockport who liked eating pie and reading books was hardly a candidate for the world's best basketball league.

每個人都告訴我，一個來自斯托克波特的胖小子，喜歡吃餡餅和看書，很難成為世界最佳籃球聯賽的候選人。

So I dedicated myself, my young life anyway, to trying to become an NBA basketball player.

是以，無論如何，我把自己年輕的生命獻給了努力成為一名 NBA 籃球運動員。

I played for a year in England before I wrote 3,000 letters to American high schools.

我在英國打了一年球，然後給美國高中寫了 3000 封信。

I received three replies, two of which were no, and ended up going to a school in Toledo, Ohio, where a coach, Ed Heinchel, took care of me for a year and guided me to Penn State University.

我收到了三封回信，其中兩封是否定的，最後我去了俄亥俄州托萊多的一所學校，那裡的教練埃德-海因切爾照顧了我一年，並引導我進入賓夕法尼亞州立大學。

I didn't get drafted, so my success has been lumpy.

我沒有被徵召入伍，所以我的成績一直不穩定。

But that's probably the way that it is for most people.

People make the mistake of thinking that I am a basketball player that is now a psychologist, and that is not true.

人們誤以為我是一名籃球運動員，現在是一名心理學家，但事實並非如此。

I knew at the age of seven that I would be a psychologist.

我七歲時就知道自己會成為一名心理學家。

So I was always a psychologist who played basketball for a time.

所以，我一直是個心理學家，曾經打過一段時間籃球。

Studying for a doctorate while you play in the NBA is not as hard as people think.

在 NBA 打球的同時攻讀博士學位並不像人們想象的那麼難。

There is an inordinate amount of downtime as a professional athlete.

作為一名職業運動員，有大量的停工時間。

Hours where you're in a plane for you to do stuff that might energize your brain, and so that's what I did.

在飛機上的幾個小時，你可以做一些讓大腦充滿活力的事情，這就是我所做的。

I had a distance education, and I studied while I was in transit.

我接受了遠程教育，在途中學習。

It's an amazing way to get your degree at 30,000 feet.

這是在三萬英尺高空獲得學位的絕佳方式。

Success does require a clear, vivid, and bold picture of the future.

成功確實需要對未來有清晰、生動和大膽的描繪。

It's part of what makes all the dull, hard stuff worth it as you go along.

正是因為有了它，所有的枯燥和艱辛才變得值得。

But then you say, what needs to be true to get to that?

但你又會說，要達到這一點，需要什麼條件呢？

And not just what needs to be true in two years' time or three years' time if it's a long-term vision, but today.

如果是長期願景，則不僅僅是兩年後或三年後需要實現的目標，而是今天的目標。

What one small step will take me towards this vision or goal that I have?

哪一小步能讓我實現我的願景或目標？

What skills will I need to develop in order that in six months or a year's time, I can do something even more consequential that drives me towards what I want to achieve?

我需要發展哪些技能，才能在六個月或一年後做一些更有意義的事情，推動我實現自己的目標？

So I adopted something called the fee model when I started talking to young people at basketball camps in the summertime.

是以，當我開始在夏季的籃球訓練營與年輕人交流時，我採用了一種叫做收費模式的方法。

Paying the fee, focus, effort, execution.

You ask kids who wants to play in the NBA and their hands would shoot up.

如果你問孩子們誰想去 NBA 打球，他們會踴躍舉手。

Their minds had already transported them onto an NBA court.

他們的大腦已經把他們帶到了 NBA 球場上。

But they hadn't considered, as I watched them play in the summer camps, they weren't doing some of the fundamentals that I thought would be essential to get them there.

但他們沒有考慮到，當我在夏令營觀看他們比賽時，他們沒有做到一些我認為對他們達到目標至關重要的基本要素。

And so the fee model was a way of encapsulating what's required.

是以，收費模式是概括所需內容的一種方式。

Focus is the idea that you can curate your whole attention into this moment.

專注是一種理念，你可以將全部注意力集中在這一刻。

Regardless of how dull and uninteresting it might feel, regardless of how consequential or important for your future it might be in your mind, regardless of whether you like or don't like the person talking to you, can you lever your whole mental faculties to that point in time and pay attention in a really proactive way?

無論你覺得它有多麼枯燥無味，無論它在你心目中對你的未來有多麼重要，無論你是喜歡還是不喜歡與你交談的人，你都能將你的全部心智撬動到那個時間點，並以一種真正積極主動的方式去關注它嗎？

The idea that if you're going to achieve something, frankly, whether it be remarkable or ordinary, you have to put in some effort.

坦率地說，如果你想有所成就，不管是卓越的還是平凡的，你都必須付出一些努力。

It seems obvious, but most people don't think that.

這似乎顯而易見，但大多數人並不這麼認為。

And indeed, most people spend most of their life, whether it be at work or in sport, seeing just how many percentage points off 100% they can offer.

事實上，大多數人一生中的大部分時間，無論是在工作中還是在體育運動中，都在看自己能提供多少個百分點。

Rather than thinking, how about for the time that I'm doing this, which will not be forever and should not be forever, my effort will be 100%.

而不是想，在我做這件事的這段時間裡，我的努力將是百分之百，這不會是永遠的，也不應該是永遠的。

But effort alone isn't enough because effort is often boundless activity and energy.

但僅僅努力是不夠的，因為努力往往是無窮無盡的活動和能量。

And that's great, but it requires that that is done in a way that's going to drive you forward.

這很好，但需要以一種能推動你前進的方式來完成。

Somebody did a great disservice to the idea of practice by misunderstanding the research on practice.

有人誤解了關於實踐的研究，對實踐的理念造成了極大的傷害。

Practicing in a way that is very conscious of the right ways of doing things, of the structures that must be in place, of the movement of your body, of the activity of your brain.

在練習時，要有意識地掌握正確的方法、必須具備的結構、身體的運動和大腦的活動。

The first question that kids would be interested in asking me is, have you ever been dunked on?

孩子們有興趣問我的第一個問題是，你被灌過水嗎？

And I'm like, of course I've been dunked on.

My first game was against Michael Jordan.

我第一場比賽的對手是邁克爾-喬丹。

If you haven't been dunked on in whatever context you're in, you set your sights too low.

如果你在任何情況下都沒有被灌籃，那麼你的目標就定得太低了。

Because that is an inevitable part of challenging yourself to meet and then stretch your potential.

因為這是挑戰自我、發揮潛能的必然過程。

And when bad stuff happens to you, you're allowed to be down for a bit.

當壞事發生在你身上時，你可以消沉一段時間。

People think resilience is this idea that your performance is here, and something happens to you, and your performance stays here.

人們認為 "恢復力 "是這樣一種概念：你的表現就在這裡，如果你出了什麼事，你的表現就會留在這裡。

Resilience in the face of setbacks is the idea that here you go, something happens, and there's a dip.

面對挫折時的韌性是這樣一種理念：你走到這裡，發生了一些事情，出現了下滑。

But resilience is the idea that you recognize this setback is a part of your achievement pathway, and you're going to return and maybe even exceed your previous performance despite it.

但是，抗挫折能力是指你認識到這次挫折是你取得成就道路上的一部分，儘管如此，你還是會回到過去，甚至可能超過你之前的表現。

But more than that, they are just going to happen if you have ambition.

但更重要的是，如果你有雄心壯志，它們就會發生。

One of the reasons that setbacks are often disproportionately negative for people is because it sets off a cascade of voices in their head.

挫折往往會給人們帶來過多的負面影響，原因之一就是挫折會在人們的腦海中引發一連串的聲音。

And I encourage people to remember a couple of things.

第一，你腦海中的聲音不是你自己。

It is a Frankenstein's monster of all the disapproving looks, all the unsupportive managers or teachers, all the friends who told you that you couldn't possibly achieve this thing that you wanted to achieve.

它是一個科學怪人，包含了所有不贊同的目光，所有不支持你的經理或老師，所有告訴你不可能實現你想要實現的目標的朋友。

It's a Frankenstein's monster that has only one purpose, to make you feel bad.

這是一個弗蘭肯斯坦的怪物，它只有一個目的，就是讓你感覺不好。

我們必須以其人之道還治其人之身。
