an ultra mini-series adventure in 30 minutes,

一系列超級迷你歷程

and in eight episodes.

30分鐘以及8分鐘劇集。

Episode seven, be radically open-minded.

第七集，要徹底地開放思想。

(calm orchestral music)

接受風險并偶爾搞砸是不可接受的

Taking risks and occasionally being ruined

而拒絕接受風險而失去傑出的結果

wasn't acceptable, and neither was not taking risks,

也同樣不被接受。

and not having exceptional results.

我需要一種方法能夠給我

I needed an approach that would give me

超乎尋常的積極支持而不會為我帶來

the exceptional upside without also giving me

超乎尋常的消極影響。

the exceptional downside.

當我找到它的時候，他就變成我的聖杯。

When I discovered it, it turned out to be my holy grail.

為了得到它，我需要以習得正確事物的樂趣

To get it, I needed to replace the joy of being proven right

取代被認可的滿足感。

with the joy of learning what's true.

這就需要我尋找我所能找到

(birds chirping) (tranquil orchestral music)

的最有想法

This need prompted me to seek out

而且反對我的人。

the most thoughtful people I could find

我不在乎在他們的結論是什麼。

who disagreed with me.

我只想要通過他們的眼睛看事物，

I didn't care about their conclusions,

也讓他們通過我的眼睛看事物，

I just wanted to see things through their eyes,

這樣我們就能一起講事情剖析，

and to have them see things through my eyes,

以發現什麼是正確的。

so that together, we could hash things out

換句話說，我最想從他們那裡得到的，

to discover what's true.

就是有思想的反對意見。

In other words, what I wanted most from them

從僅僅通過我自己的角度看事情，

was thoughtful disagreement,

到通過這些有思想的人的角度看世界，

going from seeing things through just my eyes

就好像侍從黑白視角，

to seeing things through the eyes of these thoughtful people

轉換到彩色視角。

was like going from seeing things in black and white

世界頓時明朗了！

to seeing them in color.

這時候，我意識到穿越人生叢林的最佳方法

(orchestral music builds) (birds chirping)

便是與那些

The world lit up!

富有洞察力其與我世界觀不同的人相處。

(lion growling)

回憶一下我前面說過的五個步驟的過程。

(wings flapping)

像我說的，我們的頭腦以不同的方式建立連接，

That's when I realized that the best way

並不是所有人都能把這五個步驟做得好。

to go through the jungle of life is with insightful people

但是你不需要將它全都獨立完成，

who see things differently from me.

你可你從那些擅長你所不精的方面的人

Think about the five step process I described earlier.

那裡得到幫助，

As I said, because we are wired so differently,

他們的思維模式將會接受你所不能接受的東西。

not everyone can do all the five steps well,

你所需要做的事情就是放棄那種對

(screaming)

以一己之力尋求正確答案的執著，

but you don't have to do them all alone.

然後用你對犯錯的恐懼來開放思想，

You can get help from others

接受其他觀點。

who are good at what you're not,

這樣，你能夠看到那些你孓然一身時，

who are wired to perceive things you can't.

可能會忽略的風險和錯過的機會。

All you need to do is let go of your attachment

我發現採取這種徹底開放思想的方法

to having the right answers yourself,

并以信任權衡他人的想法

and use your fear of being wrong

將會顯著地增加我做出最佳可能決定

to become open-minded to these other views.

的可能性。

(tranquil orchestral music) (birds chirping)

這讓我能夠攀登更高的高度，

In this way, you could point out the risks and opportunities

并迎接更大的挑戰。

that you would individually miss.

過去我總是會想要去做

I found that taking this radically open-minded approach

那些我自認為最佳的事情。

and believability weighting people's thinking

但是現在當我尋找到了我所能找到的最深刻的獨立思考者們，

significantly increased my probabilities

我仍舊這麼堅信。

of making the best decisions possible.

沒有什麼能比與那些能夠互相之間徹底城市

This enabled me to ascend to greater heights

而且徹底透明的非同反響的人們共事更為

and greater challenges.

美妙的事情了。

In the past, I would have always wanted to do

這一方法讓我創造了一家具有

what I myself thought was best,

獨特思想的經營領導層的公司。

but now I sought out the strongest independent thinkers

以一種能夠獲得獨特成就的獨特方式運營。

I could find, I still do.

在和一個思想經營領導層中，你能夠得到每個人最佳的想法。

There is nothing better to be on shared mission

每個人都獨立思考。

with extraordinary people who can be radically truthful,

然後我們會共同商討我們的不同意見，

and radically transparent with each other.

已達到最佳效果，

This approach led me to create a company

然而，並不是每個人的意見都同樣有價值，

with a unique idea meritocracy,

我們必須要學會分辨，

operating in a unique way that produced unique successes.

有些不等的想法，以做出最佳的決策。

In an idea meritocracy, you get the best of everybody.

換句話說，

Everyone thinks independently,

我們需要以信任的方式來衡量人們的想法。

then we work through our disagreements

但這是另一個故事，我將在我的

to get at what's best.

工作原理中加以解釋。

However, not every opinion is equally valuable,

現在有很多很棒的機會，

and we had to learn to distinguish between good ideas

和嚴峻的風險圍繞著你，但是你看不清。

and bad ones to get the best decisions.

如果你能看到他們，不加任何由於你

In other words,

的自我或你的盲點帶來的偏倚，

we needed to believability weight people's thinking.

將將會更有效地處理他們。

But that's another story I will explain

如果你能夠獲得這一能力，

in my work principles.

并加以練習，

Right now, there are many wonderful opportunities

你將會徹底提升你的人生。

and dangerous risks surrounding you that you don't see.

在第八集里，我將會以幾個實際的想法

If you saw them free of the distortions produced

來總結我們簡短的歷程，

by your ego or your blind spots,

這樣你就能向著你所想要的，

you would be able to deal with them more effectively.

開始你自己的歷程。

If you could acquire this ability,

and with practice you can,

you will radically improve your life.

In episode eight, I will conclude our short journey together

with a few practical thoughts

so that you can begin your own journey

toward whatever you want.
