My first grade teacher had this brilliant idea.

我一年級的老師就有這個絕妙的想法。

She wanted us to experience receiving gifts

她想讓我們體驗一下接受禮物的感覺

but also learning the virtue of complimenting each other.

So she had all of us come to the front of the classroom,

於是她讓我們所有的人都到教室前面來。

and she bought all of us gifts and stacked them in the corner.

她給我們買了所有的禮物，並把它們堆在角落裡。

"Why don't we just stand here and compliment each other?

"為什麼不'我們就站在這裡互相恭維呢？

and every time I heard someone's name called,

而每次我聽到有人'的名字叫的時候。

And I didn't want to hear "gifts"anymore.

I just wanted to get out of there and sit down.

She was like, "Hey, would anyone say anything nice about these people?"

她當時就想，"嘿，有人會說這些人的好話嗎？"

"No one? OK, why don't you go get your gift and sit down.

"沒人？好吧，你為什麼不'去拿你的禮物，坐下來。

someone might say something nice about you."

有人可能會說一些關於你的好話."

you probably know I remember this really well.

But I don't know who felt worse that day.

但我不知道那天誰感覺更糟糕。

She must have realized that she turned a team-building event

她一定是意識到她把一個團隊建設活動變成了

into a public roast for three six-year-olds.

變成了三個六歲孩子的公開烤肉。

You know, when you see people get roasted on TV,

你知道，當你看到人們在電視上被烤，

and I would die to avoid being in that situation again --

我願意以死來避免再次陷入這種境地... ...

I thought, wow, I know what I want to do now.

我想，哇，我知道我現在想做什麼了。

那天晚上，我給家裡寫了一封信

I will build the biggest company in the world,

I totally embraced this idea of conquering the world --

我完全接受了這種征服世界的想法--。

And I didn't make this up, I did write that letter.

而且我沒有'編，那封信是我寫的。

This is also bad handwriting, but I did highlight some key words.

這也是字跡不好，但我確實突出了一些關鍵詞。

I was presented with the opportunity to come to the United States.

because that was where Bill Gates lived, right?

因為那是比爾-蓋茨住的地方，對吧？

I thought that was the start of my entrepreneur journey.

我以為這是我創業歷程的開始。

I was actually a marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company.

其實我是一家世界500強企業的市場經理。

Where is that 14-year-old who wrote that letter?

那個寫這封信的14歲少年在哪裡？

It's because every time I had a new idea,

這'是因為每次我都有新的想法。

every time I wanted to try something new,

I wanted to speak up in front of people in a group --

我想在一群人面前大聲說話----。

between the 14-year-old and the six-year-old.
