In my work, I specialize in strivers, really hardworking people, ambitious people.

在我的工作中，我專門研究奮鬥者、真正勤奮的人和雄心勃勃的人。

These are the people who wanna do a lot with their lives.

這些人想要在生活中做很多事情。

過去簡單式

I mean, I've worked with musicians that are barely getting by, but they really have this sense of calling.

我的意思是，我曾與一些音樂家合作過，他們勉強度日，但他們真的有這種使命感。

I've worked with business people who are doing really well, even though they're not really satisfied with what they're doing.

我曾與一些生意人合作過，他們做得非常好，儘管他們對自己的工作並不滿意。

What all strivers I've ever met have in common is that the higher they climb and the more success that they have, the more insecure they feel in their own success because they're not quite sure whether they've earned it or deserve it.

我所見過的所有奮鬥者都有一個共同點，那就是他們爬得越高，獲得的成功越多，他們對自己的成功就越沒有安全感，因為他們不太確定這是否是他們應得的或應得的。

That's called imposter syndrome, of course.

當然，這就是所謂的冒名頂替症候群。

It only really doesn't happen to one group that I've found, the people who really are imposters.

我發現只有一類人不會發生這種情況，那就是那些真正的冒牌貨。

It's one of the great ironies I've found is that people who deserve success through hard work and merit and personal responsibility are not quite sure they deserve it,

我發現一個最大的諷刺是，那些通過努力工作、功績和個人責任感獲得成功的人，並不十分確定自己是否配得上成功，

and the people who don't deserve it are often the people who actually are most sure that they do.

而那些不配得上成功的人，往往是最確定自己配得上成功的人。

In my work, if I find somebody who's extremely successful and who doesn't feel like an imposter, that makes my antenna kind of tingle.

在我的工作中，如果我發現有人非常成功，而且不覺得自己是個冒牌貨，我的觸角就會被觸動。

My spider sense is on edge because I think I might have something that in my profession we call a dark triad.

我的蛛絲馬跡很敏感，因為我覺得我可能得了一種在我的職業中被稱為「黑暗三角人格」的病。

Dark triads in business or in personal life are people who are above average in three characteristics.

在商業或個人生活中，「黑暗三角人格」是指在三個特徵方面高於平均水平的人。

Machiavellianism: I'm willing to do what it takes, including hurting you, to get my way.

馬基維利主義：我願意不惜一切代價，包括傷害你，來達到我的目的。

And psychopathy, to be psychopathic, which is to say, I'm gonna hurt you and feel no remorse.

而心理變態，是指心理變態，也就是說，我會傷害你，而且毫無悔意。

One in 14 people in the population is above average on those three characteristics.

每 14 人中就有一人在這三個特徵上高於平均水平。

If you're doing really well in your career and you're being rewarded for it, and you're a good, normal, healthy person, you're gonna sorta wonder, is this earned?

如果你在事業上做得非常出色，並是以得到了獎勵，而且你是一個善良、正常、健康的人，你就會想，這是應得的嗎？

What you're doing here as a healthy person is that you know what you're good at and you know what you're not good at.

作為一個健康的人，你在這裡所做的是，你知道自己擅長什麼，也知道自己不擅長什麼。

What you're good at, that's why you're getting ahead.

你擅長什麼，這就是你出人頭地的原因。

The things that only you see, which is what you're trying to get better at.

只有你能看到的東西，也就是你要努力做到更好的東西。

They're looking at the ways that you're creating value.

他們關注的是你創造價值的方式。

You're looking at the ways that you can't create value yet, and you tend to focus because of what psychologists call negativity bias and what you don't have, as opposed to what you have.

你在尋找你還不能創造價值的方法，你往往會因為心理學家所說的消極偏差和你沒有的東西，而不是你有的東西而集中注意力。

When you focus as a striving, hardworking, ambitious, and upwardly mobile person on what you don't have, you're gonna feel like an imposter.

當你作為一個努力奮鬥、勤奮工作、雄心勃勃、奮發向上的人，把注意力集中在你所沒有的東西上時，你就會覺得自己是個冒牌貨。

That's just the way it is, unless you're a dark triad.

事情就是這樣，除非你是黑暗三角人格。

So what do you do if you have imposter syndrome?

那麼，如果你得了冒名頂替症候群，該怎麼辦呢？

The answer is to understand it, keep up to date with it, and keep trying to get better at the things that you're not good at yet.

答案就是了解它，跟上它的發展，並不斷努力，在自己還不擅長的事情上做得更好。

This is an opportunity, it's for growth, for becoming the person that you truly wanna be.

這是一個機會，一個成長的機會，一個成為你真正想成為的人的機會。

Even if other people overestimate how awesome you are, which of course they do, right?

即使其他人高估了你的能力，他們當然會這麼做，對嗎？

You don't have to, and you can focus on the ways that you can actually become better.

你不必這樣做，你可以專注於如何讓自己變得更好。

If you feel imposter syndrome, that's great.

如果你覺得自己得了冒名頂替症候群，那很好。

That means all kinds of good things about you, but don't miss the opportunity.

這意味著你的各種優點，但不要錯失良機。

Don't miss the opportunity to focus on the ways that you actually can get better, and keep striving more for it, lean into the imposter syndrome without giving into it.

不要錯失良機，專注於自己真正可以變得更好的方法，並不斷為此而努力，向冒名頂替症候群靠攏，而不要屈服於它。

When you're an accomplished professional, and you're upwardly mobile, and you're being successful,

當你是一個有成就的專業人士，你正在向上發展，你正在取得成功，

what that means is that people are focusing more on your strengths than your weaknesses, and it also says you have more manifest strengths than you do weaknesses.

這意味著人們更關注你的長處而不是短處，也意味著你的長處比短處更明顯。

Now, if things are going in the wrong direction, you're getting a whole lot of bad press, and you're on your way down, it means people are paying more attention to your weaknesses than your strengths, and it might be that your weaknesses are a bigger deal than your strengths.

現在，如果事情朝著錯誤的方向發展，你得到了大量的負面新聞，你正在走下坡路，這意味著人們更關注你的弱點，而不是你的優點，而且你的弱點可能比你的優點更重要。

The truth is, if things are really, really rough for you, you're not all weaknesses, and if things are going really well for you, you're not all strengths.

事實是，如果事情對你來說真的很糟糕，你也不全是弱點，如果事情對你來說真的很順利，你也不全是優點。

Here's the problem if you're a well-adjusted person with a modicum of humility.

問題就在這裡，如果你是一個適應良好、有一點謙遜的人。

You're gonna feel like a loser when everybody else sees you as a winner, but rest assured that when things are going well for you, that means that people are more focused on your strengths than they are on your weaknesses.

當別人都把你當成贏家時，你會覺得自己是個失敗者，但請放心，當你一切順利時，這意味著人們更關注你的優點，而不是你的缺點。

Don't focus more on your weaknesses than your strengths, but recognize them, because that's your opportunity for growth and change and improvement.

不要只關注自己的短處，而忽視自己的長處，要認識到自己的短處，因為這是你成長、改變和進步的機會。
