Let's do this together.

我們一起來試試看。

I want you to right now think of a subject or skill that you just want to learn fast.

我希望你現在想一個你想要快速學習的科目或是技能。

You want to learn it rapidly at an accelerated rate.

你想以更快的速度去學習它。

You want to learn faster so you can achieve faster.

你想快速地學習，因此你就能盡快達標。

I want you to remember four letters.

我希望你記住四個字母。

F-A-S-T.

F-A-S-T。

F-A-S-T.

F-A-S-T。

Fast.

快速。

And the F stands for Forget.

F 代表「忘記」。

You're like, "Jim, you're this world class memory expert, you're this coach to all these celebrities and CEOs, why are you starting with forgetting?"

你可能會說：「Jim 你是世界級的記憶大師，你是很多名人與執行長的記憶訓練師耶！怎麼會叫人家從「忘記」開始呢？」

You want to forget what you already know about the subject so you can learn something brand new.

你要忘記你對於該科目已經了解的知識，這樣你才能學習全新的東西。

Often a lot of people don't learn faster because they feel like their cup is full and they feel like they know it already.

通常很多人沒辦法快速學習就是因為他們覺得自己已經沒什麼好學的了，已經懂得夠多了。

So always remember to start with a beginner's mind.

所以記得總是要抱持著初學者的心態開始學習。

I would also say forget about what's going on in the world and anything that's not urgent or important in your world because if you try to think about things that are going on and be present you can't do that.

我也會建議大家忘卻這個世界上和你無關緊要的任何事情，因為如果你試著思考那些事情，你則無法專注於當下。

And you're only using a fraction of your own potential if you're distracted.

如果你分心的話，你只用到本身潛能的一小部分而已。

I would also say forget about your limitations because you don't know what you don't know.

我也會請你不要給自己設限，因為你不知道自己將會有多大的潛力。

Often people will see me on stage memorize a hundred peoples' names or a hundreds words, numbers backwards and forwards, and I always tell you I don't do this to impress you.

通常人們看著我在台上記住上百人的名字或上百個單字、數字、倒著背或正著背，我做這些並不是為了讓你們對我刮目相看。

I do this to express to you what's really possible because the truth is you could do it, too.

我這麼做是為了向你們展示這是可行的且你們也可以做得到。

Regardless your age, your background, your education.

不管你的年紀、背景和教育程度。

You're just not taught how to do it.

你只是沒被教導怎麼實踐而已。

If anything you were taught a lie.

如果你被灌輸這樣的謊言。

A lie that somehow your intelligence, your memory, your learning is somehow fixed like your shoe size but we know that your learning is absolutely limitless.

你的智慧、記憶、學習力是固定的，就像鞋子尺寸一樣，但我們知道其實你的學習力是完全不可設限的。

So set your limitation aside and forget about them.

所以把限制拋諸腦後吧！

The A in FAST stands for Active.

在 FAST 裡面的 A 代表「積極」。

What do I mean by active?

我對「積極」的定義是什麼呢？

If you feel overloaded with too much to learn in too little time...like do you have books on your shelf you haven't read yet?

如果你覺得時間太少但是要學得東西卻無比的多，就像你是否有一些在書櫃裡塵封已久的書但從沒讀過？

You get more than 10 emails a day?

你一天內收到超過 10 封電子郵件？

You listen to podcasts?

你聽播客？

There's so much information out there but if you feel like you're stressed, like you can't keep up, here's the thing.

真的有太多資訊在那裡等著我們了，但如果你因此而覺得很有壓力，像是你覺得自己無法跟上所有進度，你聽好了。

It's not your fault.

這不是你的問題。

You know why?

你知道為什麼嗎？

It's because we all grew up with a 20th century education that prepared us for a 20th century world, which at the turn of the century was working in factories and farms.

因為我們都在 20 世紀的教育制度下成長，它讓我們為進入 20 世紀做好準備，在 19 至 20 世紀之交人們是在工廠或是農田裡工作。

But now we live in an age of autonomous electric cars and spaceships that are going to Mars, but our vehicle of choice when it comes to learning is like a horse and buggy.

但現今我們生活在一個有自動駕駛汽車和能夠將太空船發射到火星的世代，但我們能夠選擇的學習工具卻像馬匹或是四輪驅動小車一樣落後。

And one of the challenges is our schools trained us to be very passive.

其中一項挑戰就是學校教育使我們變得非常被動。

Sit quietly by yourself, be lectured to, just consume information but your brain doesn't learn based on consumption.

自己安靜地坐好、聽課，就只是將資訊囫圇吞棗，但你的大腦並不會因此而學習到什麼。

It learns through creation and so learning is not a spectator sport.

大腦是透過創造來學習，因此學習並不是一種「觀賞性運動」。

You have to get involved.

你必須參與其中。

You have to take great notes.

你必須做很多筆記。

You have to ask lots of questions.

你必須問很多問題。

There's so many things you can do to be more active.

有很多事情你可以嘗試去變得更加積極。

The S in FAST stands for State.

在 FAST 裡的 S 代表「狀態」。

What do I mean by state?

「狀態」是什麼意思？

I mean the current mood of your mind and your body because here's the key to a better memory.

我想表達的是你現在的身心靈的狀態，因為這是擁有良好記憶力的關鍵。

Information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory.

資訊會與情緒結合形成長期記憶。

Information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory.

資訊會與情緒結合形成長期記憶。

What do I mean by that?

這是什麼意思呢？

Is there a song or fragrance or a food that could take you back to when you were a child?

是否有一首歌、一種香氣或一種食物可以讓你回憶起小時候？

Of course because information combined with that emotion becomes a long-term memory.

當然可以，因為資訊會與情緒結合形成長期記憶。

The challenge back in school...what was the driving emotion you had back in school?

像是在學過程中所遇到的挑戰，什麼樣的情緒驅使你回想起學校呢？

For most people they were bored, right, and if you times anything by zero what do you get?

大多數的人覺得上學很無聊，對吧？如果你把任何東西乘以 0 那你會得到什麼？

You get zero.

你會得到 0。

So most people don't remember what they learned back in school because of the state.

所以大部分的人會忘記他們在學階段學到了什麼，就是因為「狀態」不對。

Remember this: All learning is state dependent.

記住這個：所有的學習皆取決於「狀態」。

All learning is state dependent.

所有的學習接取決於「狀態」。

That if you want to learn more, control your state.

如果你想要多學習一點，你則必須掌控自己的「狀態」。

Now who's in control of your state?

那麼是誰控制了你的狀態呢？

You are because you are a thermostat.

就是你自己，因為你是可以自動調節的。

You're not a thermometer.

你不是溫度計。

What do I mean by that?

這是什麼意思呢？

What does a thermometer do?

溫度計是用來做什麼的？

A thermometer reacts to the environment.

溫度計反映環境溫度。

It reflects what the environment is giving it and so we are all thermometers at some point and that effects our state, right?

它反映環境給予的溫度，所以我們有時候也像溫度計，影響著我們的狀態，對吧？

We react to the weather.

我們對於天氣做出反應。

We react to the economy.

我們對於經濟做出反應。

We react to how people treat us but in reality where's the locus of focus?

我們對於他人如何對待我們做出反應，但在現實生活中，專注力的來源又來自哪裡呢？

Who has the control?

到底是誰擁有控制權呢？

You do because you're a thermostat.

是你，因為你是能夠自動調節的。

A thermostat is different, right?

一個自動恆溫器就不一樣了，對吧？

A thermostat sets a vision.

自動恆溫器設立願景。

It sets a goal.

它設定目標。

It sets a standard and what happens to the environment?

它這設定標準值，那麼環境的影響呢？

The environment raises to meet that thermostat, and for you, you want to identify with the thermostat and the most important thing that you want to have control over is how you feel.

環境溫度提高以吻合自動恆溫器的設定標準，至於你，你想和自動恆溫器看齊，且最重要的是你必須掌控自己的情緒。

I remember recently I got to introduced two of my superheroes together.

我記得我最近介紹了我的兩個超級英雄。

I talked about superheroes because I grew up with learning challenges from a brain injury.

我之所以談論到英雄是因為我兒時腦傷，因此我是在挑戰中成長的。

I taught myself how to read.

我教自己如何閱讀。

It took me three years longer how to read.

Something about the superhero story really brought it to life for me and recently I got to juice two of my superheroes together.

是關於超級英雄的故事，對我來說它好像真實故事一般，而我也在最近與我的兩位超級英雄見面了。

It was Sir Richard Branson and Stan Lee.

他們是 Richard Branson 先生和 Stan Lee。

Stan Lee.

Stan Lee。

Not Stanley.

不是 Stanley。

Stan Lee.

是 Stan Lee。

The co-creators of Spiderman, Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four and I remember asking Stan Lee, I said, "Stan, who's your favorite superhero?"

他是蜘蛛人、復仇者聯盟、X 戰警、驚奇四超人的偕同創作者，我記得我問 Stan Lee，我說：「Stan，你最愛的超級英雄是誰呢？」

And he says, "Iron Man."

然後他說：「鋼鐵人。」

And he says, "Jim, who's your favorite superhero?" and he had this Spiderman tie.

他又問：「Jim，誰是你最愛的超級英雄？」然後他當時別著蜘蛛人的領帶。

I posted it on Instagram and I was like, "Spiderman."

我在 Istagram 上發文，然後我當時說：「蜘蛛人。」

And without a pause he went, "With great power comes great responsibility."

他沒有任何猶豫地說：「擁有能力的人同時也被賦予重任。」

With great power comes great responsibility.

擁有能力的人同時也被賦予重任。

You've heard that, right?

And I went to him, I said "Stan, you're right.

然後走過去並說：「Stan，你是對的。」

With great power comes great responsibility and the opposite is also true.

擁有能力的人同時也被賦予重任，倒過來說也是正確的。

With great responsibility comes great power.

擁有責任的同時能力也隨之而生。

When we take responsibility for something, we have great power to make it better and I think the most important responsibility we have is controlling how we feel.

當我們被委以重任時，我們就有能力去將它做到最好，而我覺得最重要的責任就是將自己的情緒控管好。

Trade your cleverness for bewilderment.

將你的聰明與困惑交換吧！

And finally the T in FAST, if you want to learn any subject or skill faster, learn it as if you're going to teach it to somebody else.

最後，說明 FAST 中的 T，如果你想快速地學習任何學科或技能的話，請學到你能夠教導其他人的程度。

Because when you're learning it to teach it then you're going to pay attention differently.

因為當你要學到能夠教導人的程度的話，你集中注意力的方式會有所不同。

Then you're going to make it your own.

你會將這些資訊內化成自己的東西。

Then you're going to remember it differently because here's the thing, when you teach something you get to learn it twice.

你將會以不同的形式去記憶它，那是因為當你在教學的同時，你也在吸取同樣的知識第二遍。

Hi, my name is Jim Kwik and growing up I was labeled the boy with the broken brain with all these learning challenges and disabilities.

嗨，我是 Jim Kwik，我的成長過程中總被貼著「腦殘」的標籤，總是在學習上遇到一些挑戰和障礙。
