過去簡單式

It took me 30 years to realize what I'm about to tell you in the next few minutes.

我花了三十年才領悟到接下來幾分鐘我要跟大家分享的。

情態助動詞 A2

to 不定詞

And that seems like a really odd thing to say.

But I think people frame their life as these objectives.

但我覺得大家都會把人生框限在一些目標裡。

And the problem with having objectives is that at some point you'll meet enough of them and you'll think, I've made it.

有目標的問題是，總有一天你會達成足夠多的目標，然後覺得自己「達標了」。

I think what I've learned is that there are no objectives that are worthy enough for you to say it's time to stop.

我覺得我學到的是，沒有任何目標值得你說「是時候停了」。

As I keep going, I'm getting into my 50s, there are all these people that I really used to look up to who've just stopped.

隨著我繼續前進，進入了五十幾歲，我看到好多我以前很崇拜的人，他們都停下了。

Then you look at somebody like Buffett and he goes and goes and goes, and

然後你看看像Buffett這樣的人，他一直做一直做，

he's 95 and he's finally taking a half step back.

他都95歲了，才終於稍微退一步。

There's so many examples of those kinds of people, and really what are they?

有好多這類人的例子，那他們到底是什麼樣的人？

They're not committed to a set of objectives, they're committed to learning, putting themselves at risk, surrounding themselves with people that know interesting things.

他們不是在追求特定的目標，他們是在追求學習，讓自己去冒險，身邊圍繞著知道有趣事情的人。

這讓他們保持敏銳，也讓他們。

And I think as I get older, that's really the most important goal.

我想隨著我年紀越來越大，這才是最重要的目標。

And if someone had told me that that was a goal, I would have made slightly different decisions.

如果有人告訴我這是一個目標，我做出的決定就會有點不一樣。

I would have made some very specific decisions very differently.

我會做出一些非常具體的決定，而且會很不一樣。

I would have taken more risk, even more than I did when I was younger.

我會承擔更多風險，甚至比我年輕時承擔的還多。

If you're going to live a life without objectives and you're actually going to live a life of process, you have to create some really good boundary conditions.

如果你要過一個沒有目標的生活，而且實際上是要過一個過程的生活，你必須設定一些非常好的邊界條件。

Debt is one of these very simple and practical things that when and if you have it will cause you to stop.

債務是這些非常簡單實用的事情之一，當你有了它，它就會讓你停下來。

It can cause you to stop learning, it can cause you to stop taking risk, it'll cause you to seek objectives.

它會讓你停止學習，讓你停止承擔風險，它會讓你追求目標。

And all of those short term optimizations have huge repercussions and consequences for the next 20 and 30 and 40 years of your life.

而所有這些短期的優化，都會對你未來20年、30年、40年的生活產生巨大的影響和後果。

And being able to have the discipline to not choose the things that cause you to be in debt.

而且要有紀律，不選擇那些會讓你負債的事情。

And what's hard, especially for younger generations, is you spend all of this time rotting your brain with worthless social media of all of these people who are essentially lying to you about their fake life.

對年輕一代來說，比較難的是，你們花了很多時間在滑那些沒用的社群媒體，看著那些人們對他們虛假的生活說謊。

And too many people get tricked into that life being the actual life that those people have, and

太多人被騙，以為那就是那些人真正擁有的生活，

then as a result, the life that you should be living.

然後結果就是，你應該過的人生。

All of those things are oriented around money, all of them.

所有這些事情都圍繞著金錢，全部都是。

There's never a person that really is celebrated for a lifelong commitment to process.

從來沒有一個人會因為一輩子堅持過程而受到讚揚。

And unfortunately, he's not with us anymore.

很可惜，他已經不在我們身邊了。

Number two, you need to manage your life with humility.

第二，你需要帶著謙遜來管理你的人生。

That's something that took me a really long time to learn as well.

這也是我花了好長一段時間才學到的。

It means that you have to be extremely truthful about the way that things are today because it allows you to see how things are.

這代表你必須非常誠實地面對現況，因為這樣才能讓你清楚看到事情的真相。

It allows you to share the truth with other people.

這也讓你能夠與他人分享真實的感受。

That allows them to actually find incredible solidarity with you.

這樣一來，他們就能真正地與你產生強烈的共鳴。

Three, you have to surround yourself with people that are younger than you.

第三，你必須讓你身邊圍繞著比你年輕的人。

The way that they see the world is just completely different.

他們看世界的方式就是完全不一樣。

Their biases are different, their frameworks are different.

他們的偏見不同，他們的思考框架也不同。

And it's hard because a lot of the time I believe that I've learned enough where I don't have to be told I'm wrong.

這很難，因為很多時候我會覺得自己已經學夠了，不需要別人告訴我錯在哪裡。

The more time I'm with younger people, the more I realize that everything I know is stuck in a moment in time.

我跟年輕人相處的時間越長，越發現我所知道的一切都只停留在某個時間點。

And while it's relevant, it'll decay in relevance.

雖然這些知識有用，但它的相關性也會隨著時間衰退。

And at some point, the way in which I think things should work will be completely and diametrically the opposite of how things will actually work.

總有一天，我認為事情應該運作的方式，會跟我實際觀察到的完全相反。

And so all these young people end up as an early warning system for the future, which is just another way of learning.

所以這些年輕人就成了未來的預警系統，這其實也是一種學習。

So those are three practical things that somebody can do to not riddle yourself with superficial, dumb objectives that'll bog you down.

所以這三件事是你可以實際去做的，讓你不會被那些膚淺、愚蠢的目標所困擾。

我過去就被很多愚蠢的目標綁住了。

I was a director, become a vice president.

I was a vice president, become a senior vice president.

I was a senior vice president, become a principal at a venture firm, then become a general partner.

我從資深副總裁，變成創投公司的合夥人，然後成為總合夥人。

And these dumb objectives took me away from the core hundred percent version of me.

這些愚蠢的目標讓我偏離了百分之百的真實自我。

讓我把自己變成了一個諷刺畫。

It made me amplify small facets of myself to represent a much larger part of who I was, not just to myself, but

它讓我放大自己的一些小特質，來代表真實的自己，不只是對我自己，

And I don't think that that's a successful way to live one's life again.

我覺得那樣活著不是一個成功的人生。

I think the problem with what I'm telling you is it can only be learned over time.

我覺得我說的這些問題，只能隨著時間慢慢學到。

Now you can choose to listen to it because everybody else, when they get to their late 40s, early 50s, will nod their head when they Listen to what I have to say.

你現在可以選擇聽進去，因為其他人在他們四五十歲的時候，聽到我說的話都會點頭。

Everybody in their 20s and 30s will be like, this is bullshit.

二三十歲的年輕人會覺得，這根本是胡說八道。

So you have two choices, which is you're gonna get there the easy way or the hard way.

所以你有兩個選擇，是要用輕鬆的方式，還是用艱難的方式到達那裡。

The easy way is just do these couple of simple things.

輕鬆的方式就是做這幾件簡單的事。

The most important one is give yourself complete optionality.

最重要的一點是，讓自己擁有完整的選擇權。

I try to preserve optionality in business, I try to preserve optionality when I'm negotiating.

我試著在生意上保留選擇權，在談判時也試著保留選擇權。

Find the space where there can be win wins.

It's a hugely powerful thing that's helped me.

這是一件非常有力量的事，幫助了我很多。

And what that does and how it manifests is it preserves relationships, it preserves other people's egos, it preserves other people's emotions.

而這樣做以及它的展現方式，就是它能維護人際關係、維護別人的自尊、維護別人的情緒。

It forces me to be more subdued, to listen more, to talk less.

這讓我必須更收斂、更傾聽、更少說話。

And it turns out that there are so many opportunities for people to just blow themselves up and self immolate by doing something stupid.

結果發現，有太多機會讓人們因為做了蠢事而自毀、自我燃燒。

And for me, that framework has helped me minimize that a lot.

對我來說，這個框架幫助我大大減少了這種情況。

And then the second thing is just the more philosophical one, which is just to realize that if we are actually in a simulation, there's a, there's a level of the game which is actually about showing you that these secrets exist and it gives you a chance.

第二點則是比較哲學性的，那就是要意識到，如果我們真的處在一個模擬世界裡，遊戲的某個層級其實是在告訴你，這些祕密是存在的，而且它給你一個機會。

And I feel like I find this now in my late 40s, about to turn 50, that they're exposed to me and I'm like, wow, this is an incredible thing.

我感覺現在到了我快五十歲的時候，才發現這些東西呈現在我面前，然後我會想，哇，這真是太不可思議了。

I didn't realize this when I was younger and as much as somebody would have tried to tell me when I was younger, I ignored them.

我年輕的時候沒有意識到這一點，就算有人極力想告訴我，我也聽不進去。

So I only offer it up as, as you know, most of you will ignore too, but

所以，我只是提出來，就像你們很多人也會忽略一樣，

The most important relationship lesson I've learned is that it is really, really crucial to be married to somebody that 100% has your back.

我學到最重要的人際關係課是，嫁給一個百分之百支持你的人，真的、真的非常關鍵。

And the only way you get that is by being completely, completely honest.

而你獲得這一切的唯一方法，就是做到百分之百、百分之百的誠實。

And that is really hard for a lot of people.

這對很多人來說真的、真的非常難。

I shared most things, I didn't share all things.

我分享了大部分的事情，但不是所有的事情。

And that was sort of part of how I was taught just living in my family.

這有點像是我的家庭教導我的生活方式的一部分。

But if you don't learn that lesson, it comes back to bite you in the ass.

但如果你沒學到這一課，它終究會反噬你。

In relationships, it is so important to have your co founder there beside you.

在人際關係中，有你的共同創辦人陪在你身邊非常重要。

And you know, having gone through a divorce, which is almost like a death in the family, what I will tell you is what was missing.

經歷過離婚，那感覺就像家人過世一樣，我會告訴你，當時缺了什麼。

What was missing was just complete, raw, unfiltered, unadulterated honesty.

當時缺的就是那種完整、真實、未經修飾、純粹的誠實。
