致當(dāng)代年輕人的財(cái)富忠告，杰克·韋爾奇這樣說(shuō)

In the year 2007, I decided that I was going to either be a successful entrepreneur or I'll die trying to be one.
2007年的時(shí)候，我就決定要么成為一個(gè)成功的企業(yè)家，要么就是尚未成功的企業(yè)家。
By July,2008, I started out fully in the business world and was ready to sacrifice even my life, to have a success that will make me to be in control of my life.
2008年7月，我開(kāi)始都在商界工作，當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)做好準(zhǔn)備犧牲自己生活，來(lái)?yè)Q取成功，這樣我對(duì)自己生活才有控制感覺(jué)。
My hatred for jobs ranked so high that only Satan should be hated that much but that was for a reason and that reason, for me, is the freedom.
我非常厭惡桌上堆滿(mǎn)文件，這比撒旦還更讓人厭惡，因?yàn)閷?duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，有一個(gè)原因，自由。
I grew up in a family that allowed me to be myself.
我成長(zhǎng)在一個(gè)可以讓我做自己的家庭。
Even though my parents are poor, they are not control freaks, so I grew up being in control of my life.
即使我們父母不富有，但他們不是控制狂，所以我從小到大都掌控自己的生活。
However, when I was old enough to understand, I knew that job is the fastest way anyone can lose control of his life so I decided never to be an employee.
然而，我長(zhǎng)大后也終于明白，我明白了工作是使一個(gè)人對(duì)生活的沒(méi)有控制感的最快方式，所以我決定不打工了。
In today's video, I'll be sharing with you the Jack Welch's advice for young people who want to be rich here is the thing, Jack Welch said, "Control your own destiny or someone else will" this is the harsh reality, sad, but true.
今天視頻里，我要和你分享杰克·韋爾奇給想有錢(qián)的年輕人的建議，杰克·韋爾奇說(shuō)過(guò)，掌握自己的命運(yùn)，必然別人會(huì)替你掌握。這就是殘酷的現(xiàn)實(shí)，真實(shí)無(wú)誤。
If you don't strive to control your own destiny as a young person, someone will take charge of your life and control it for the rest of your life.
如果你年輕時(shí)候不努力掌握自己的命運(yùn)，就會(huì)有人替你掌握，其余一生都將這樣。
Why I hate jobs.
我為何討厭工作。
The No.1 reason why I hate job is that it's the fastest and easiest way to lose control of your life.
討厭工作的原因一是，這是最快最容易喪失人生掌控權(quán)的方式。
I mean, by the virtue of having a job, someone tells you when to wake up, and when to sleep.
我是說(shuō)，有工作的好處是，有人告訴你什么時(shí)候起床，什么時(shí)候睡覺(jué)。
Someone dictates what you earn and how you work to earn such amount.
有人規(guī)定你掙多少錢(qián)，你怎么掙錢(qián)。
You don't just lose some freedom over your life, you almost lose every kind of freedom, include when to go on vacation.
你不僅失去了你整個(gè)人生的自由，你失去了各種自由，包括什么時(shí)候才能度假。
And before you misunderstand me here, I'm an entrepreneur and I do have a company, with people working for me.
在你對(duì)我產(chǎn)生誤解前，我是一名企業(yè)家，我有自己公司，也有自己?jiǎn)T工。
One thing I do to make people that work with me have some control is by allowing almost everyone who work with me to work at their own time, in their own space.
我做了一件事情，以讓我的員工對(duì)自身有些控制，那就是讓員工可以在他們自己的地方，按照他們自己的時(shí)間規(guī)劃為我工作。
For example, as at the time of making this video, more than 90% of the people who work with my company have the grace to work remotely and I think this lessen the burden of job.
比如，制作這個(gè)視頻的時(shí)候，超過(guò)90%的員工可以遠(yuǎn)程工作，這個(gè)減少了工作的負(fù)擔(dān)。
But this video is not about me but about what is happening out there.
但這個(gè)視頻不是關(guān)于我，而是外面的世界是怎樣的。
In the real world, the battle is for the control.
真實(shí)的世界，所有的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)都是關(guān)于控制。
If you fail to take control of your life, someone else will do it for you.
如果你不能掌控自己的人生，有人就會(huì)替你掌控。
What it means to be in control I stated in the last section of this video that i hate jobs and that sounds as if job is a bad thing but that's not my point.
掌控是什么意思？我在本視頻上一部分說(shuō)過(guò)我討厭工作，聽(tīng)起來(lái)工作是件壞事，但我不是那個(gè)意思。
Job, of course, isn't a bad thing because if everyone becomes entrepreneur, we'll have nobody to work in the companies.
工作，并非壞事，因?yàn)槿绻總€(gè)人都想當(dāng)老板，我們公司就沒(méi)有員工了。
However, as much as job isn't a bad thing, ordinary job is an evil thing.
然而，正如工作不是壞事，沒(méi)有價(jià)值的工作才是壞事。
when I talk about control in this video, I mean, your ability to retain your human dignity, your ability to retain you voice, your opinion, your independence and your humanity.
我在這個(gè)視頻里說(shuō)的控制，意思是，你可以維護(hù)你的尊嚴(yán)，替自己發(fā)聲，可以說(shuō)出你的意見(jiàn)，保持你的獨(dú)立性和人格。
Ask anyone who works at the Amazon's storehouse and they will tell you what it feels to live less than a human being.
問(wèn)問(wèn)那些在亞馬遜倉(cāng)庫(kù)工作的人，他們會(huì)說(shuō)覺(jué)得活得不像個(gè)人。
But, can you have a job and still have control over your life?
但是，你能一邊工作，一邊同時(shí)掌握自己的人生嗎？
Absolutely yes.
絕對(duì)可以。
You can be an employee and still have a perfect control over your life but you can't afford to be one of the employees.
你可以一邊謀職一邊掌控你的人生，但你不能成為員工中的一員。
I'm an entrepreneur and I can tell you that every entrepreneur has the employees they worship, literarily.
我是個(gè)企業(yè)家，所以我告訴你每個(gè)企業(yè)家都有自己尊敬的員工，字面意義。
The reason why every entrepreneur has some employees they worship is because nobody can build a company an alone.
為何每個(gè)企業(yè)家都有要尊敬的員工，因?yàn)闆](méi)有人可以單打獨(dú)斗成立工作。
Not just that you can never build a company all by yourself, you need to hire and keep the smartest people you can find for as long as you can keep them.
你不能一個(gè)人成立公司，你需要雇員，盡最大可能留住那些聰明員工。
So, basically, this is what happens;if you're very valuable, your employers will worship you and will be willing to give you as much reasonable control as you want over your life.
所以，基本上，事情就是這樣的；如果你有價(jià)值，你的老板會(huì)尊敬你，也愿意給你很多自我人生的控制權(quán)。
Now, there's another problem here which is that, every employee thinks that they are valuable because they work very hard for a particular company.
現(xiàn)在，有另一個(gè)問(wèn)題，每個(gè)員工都覺(jué)得他們很有價(jià)值，因?yàn)樗麄兘o某個(gè)公司付出很多。
Unfortunately, entrepreneurs don't define value the way employees define it. for you to see the picture of how entrepreneurs define value, let's think about your mobile phone.
但不幸的是，企業(yè)老板和員工對(duì)價(jià)值的定義不同。給你看看企業(yè)老板到底如何定義價(jià)值，我們想想手機(jī)這個(gè)例子。
If in the year 1998 someone is selling mobile phones that have camera, any camera at all and he's selling them at the price higher than any other phone in the market, even if the camera in this phone is black and white, such a phone would sell like gold.
1998年，如果有人賣(mài)帶攝像頭的手機(jī)，任何攝像頭都行，這些手機(jī)在市場(chǎng)上售價(jià)都比其他都高，即便攝像頭是黑白的，這個(gè)手機(jī)簡(jiǎn)直像黃金一樣難得。
You know why?
你知道為什么嗎？
Well, as at 1998, no mobile phone in the world had camera.
因?yàn)椋?988年，世界上的手機(jī)都沒(méi)有攝像頭。
Fast-forward to 2007, we already had many phones with camera so you can't sell us that black and white camera phone and expect us to pay any money for it.
時(shí)間快進(jìn)到2007年，我們已經(jīng)有了很多帶有攝像頭的手機(jī)，所以我們不可能在買(mǎi)那些黑白攝像頭的手機(jī)，更不會(huì)高價(jià)買(mǎi)。
But there's something else we didn't have and that was a phone without buttons.
但是，沒(méi)有按鍵的手機(jī)我們可沒(méi)有。
The buttons were ugly and Steve Job took them away and gave us the iPhones.
手機(jī)按鍵很難看，所以斯蒂夫喬布斯把按鍵都去掉了，并給我們帶來(lái)了IPhone。
The whole world worshiped the iPhones and are ready to pay premium prices for them.
這個(gè)手機(jī)風(fēng)靡全球，人們也愿意加價(jià)購(gòu)買(mǎi)。
Now, as you can see, your value is closely related to how scarce you are.
現(xiàn)在，你就知道了，你的價(jià)值和你的稀缺性息息相關(guān)。
You won't ever have control of your time, your income or your individuality, as long as your employer can replace you tomorrow morning.
你根本不能控制你的時(shí)間，收入和個(gè)人特性，因?yàn)槟愕睦习宓诙煸缟暇湍苷胰颂娲恪?br>No employer thinks about how hard you work.
沒(méi)有老板關(guān)心你到底多努力。
No employer worries about losing you, if he can find someone else to do your job by this time tomorrow.
沒(méi)有老板擔(dān)心失去你，如果他明天就能找人替代你的工作。
The only people employers' value are the people whose job cannot easily be replaced.
老板只在乎那些在工作上非其莫屬的員工。
Think about this; an average CEO earns 158,193 dollars.
這樣想，CEO平均年入158193美元。
Show many times as much as the employees of the company they lead.
顯示出比公司員工領(lǐng)先很多的地位。
Why do these CEO earn so much?
為何CEO收入這么多？
Well, not many people in the world are qualified to do what they are doing.
世界上很多人都不能勝任其工作崗位。
Not many people are leaders.
沒(méi)有多少人可以擔(dān)任領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位。
Not many people are visionary.

沒(méi)有多少人可以高瞻遠(yuǎn)矚。
Not many people can negotiate deal and get results for the company.
沒(méi)有多少人擅長(zhǎng)談判并可為公司爭(zhēng)取到利益。
Because not many people can do the work the CEOs do, it means if you fire any CEO, you might not find a good replacement for him on time and that's the reason why you worship such people.
因?yàn)闆](méi)有幾個(gè)人可以干的了CEO的活，這就是說(shuō)如果你解雇任何CEO，你很難立刻找到可以取代他的人，這就是為何你會(huì)尊敬這類(lèi)人。
Yes, not many people can become CEO but many people can become much more valuable in their job.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，沒(méi)幾個(gè)人可成為CEO，但很多人可以在工作上變得更有價(jià)值。
We have great sales people who are in control of their life because they are so much valuable to the company they are working for.
我們有很多優(yōu)秀的可以控制自己人生的銷(xiāo)售人員，因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)所就職的公司來(lái)說(shuō)非常有價(jià)值。
We have many engineers who are the gods for their company because they are so much valuable.
我們有很多尊貴的工程師，因?yàn)樗麄儍r(jià)值重大。
We have many lawyers who charges highest fees and everyone still wants them.
我們有很多律師收費(fèi)高昂，但人們還是要找他們。
My point here is simple: to control your destiny, you have to be very valuable to the market place, so much value that not many people in the world can do what you do.
我的觀(guān)點(diǎn)很簡(jiǎn)單：掌握你的命運(yùn)，對(duì)市場(chǎng)有價(jià)值，要讓世上沒(méi)幾個(gè)人可以替代你。
Control your destiny or someone else will.
掌握你自己的命運(yùn)，不然別人就會(huì)插手。
Choose your fight carefully. To have control of your life, you have to start by choosing your fight in life.
謹(jǐn)慎選擇領(lǐng)域。要想掌握你的人生，你要首先選擇人生奮斗的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。
Most people are generalists who do things because everyone does them.
大多數(shù)人都是多面手，因?yàn)樗麄冏鍪码S大流。
You have to be intentional.
你要有主觀(guān)意識(shí)。
As a young person, your first job is to discover what makes you high.
作為年輕人，你第一份工作要義就是要發(fā)現(xiàn)你所感興趣的領(lǐng)域。
By what makes you high, I mean, what you are passionate about.
什么讓你開(kāi)心，你的熱情所在是哪里。
A lot of people have asked me to tell them how to know what they are passionate about.
很多人讓我說(shuō)說(shuō)怎么發(fā)現(xiàn)熱愛(ài)的領(lǐng)域。
My simple answer is: get involve with many things and pay attention to how you feel doing each of those things.
我的回答很簡(jiǎn)答：多嘗試，并且關(guān)注做這些事的時(shí)候你的感受。
If you love how you feel doing a particular thing, do more and more of it.
如果你做某件事感受很好，那就再接再厲做下去。
The more interest you have, the less of other things you will do because you can't win the fight of life if you're a generalist.
你越是感興趣，其他事情你就會(huì)做的越少，因?yàn)槿绻闶嵌嗝媸?，那就意味著你不能在你的領(lǐng)域中高人一等。
Napoleon Hill has written about that before anyone of us was born; nobody pays generalists a lot of money.
在我們這代出生前，拿破侖希爾就寫(xiě)到，沒(méi)有人愿意付萬(wàn)金油很多錢(qián)。
Control your own destiny or someone else will control beyond work and job.
掌握你自己的命運(yùn)，不然別人就會(huì)插手你的工作甚至人生。
I talk a lot about having control over your profession and job because that's the easiest way to lose your life.
我說(shuō)了很多，要掌握自己的職業(yè)和工作，因?yàn)楣ぷ骱苋菀鬃屇銓?duì)人生失控。
But that's by no means the only way you can lose the control of your life.
但是，那絕不是唯一的一個(gè)讓你對(duì)人生失控的地方。
Another way you can easily lose your own life is through the societal pressure.
另一個(gè)讓你容易對(duì)人生失控的就是社會(huì)壓力。
Every society has predefined definition for everything.
每個(gè)社會(huì)對(duì)每件事都有預(yù)定義。
In my country, some of those predefined notions are; if you're a teenager, you have to listen to everyone who is older than you because they are always wiser than you.
在我們國(guó)家，有些預(yù)定義的概念是：如果你是的青年人，你要聽(tīng)年長(zhǎng)的人，因?yàn)樗麄兏兄腔邸?br>If you have a home, you must own a TV. If you are married, you must have kids.
如果你有家，你就必須有電視。如果你結(jié)婚了，你就必須有孩子。
If you're rich, you must use expensive cars and if you have any money at all, you need to have a car.
如果你有錢(qián)，你就必須有豪車(chē)，如果你有點(diǎn)錢(qián)，你就必須有車(chē)。
If you want to be respected, you must have degrees and PhD and the list goes on.
如果你要受人尊敬，你就要有學(xué)位，甚至博士學(xué)位，等等。
I know that your culture and society also have a predetermined definitions and values but I'm here to tell you;those values are usually very stupid.
我知道你的文化和社會(huì)有很多提前預(yù)設(shè)的定義，但我要告訴你，這些規(guī)則都很蠢。
For example, I don't have a TV in my home, I don't have any degrees, I don't have a car as at the time of making this video and I don't just fit in too many things everyone in my country thinks is normal.
舉個(gè)例子，我家里沒(méi)電視，我也沒(méi)有學(xué)位，我在做這個(gè)視頻的時(shí)候我沒(méi)車(chē)，我對(duì)我們國(guó)家很多習(xí)以為常的做法并不盲從。
Why don't I have a TV?
我為啥沒(méi)有電視？
Well, I have so much interesting life that I don't need much entertainment.
因?yàn)槲业纳罾_紛多彩，我不需要娛樂(lè)設(shè)施。
Why don't I have a degree?
為何我沒(méi)有學(xué)位？
Well, I knew I would never need a job so I went after self-education on how to build companies.
因?yàn)?，我壓根不想打工，所以我自學(xué)怎么創(chuàng)立公司。
Why don't I have a car?
我為什么沒(méi)有車(chē)？
Well, I live in a city where Uber can take me to anywhere i want at any time of the day.
因?yàn)槲易≡诔抢?，任何時(shí)候我都可以叫網(wǎng)約車(chē)。
Why should I waste time driving and maintaining a car, if someone else can do it for me?
我為何還要浪費(fèi)時(shí)間開(kāi)車(chē)，浪費(fèi)時(shí)間維護(hù)保養(yǎng)車(chē)，如果我有人替我做這些？
Yes, I may need a car in the future when I'm ready to hire a driver but not now.
沒(méi)錯(cuò)，未來(lái)如果有司機(jī)的話(huà)，我得買(mǎi)車(chē)，但不是現(xiàn)在。
You get my point.
你知道我的意思。
You have to live intentionally.
你要有意識(shí)地生活。
You must guide yourself against the societal unspoken commands.
你必須指導(dǎo)自己抵抗那些潛在的社會(huì)規(guī)則。
You have to sit down and ask,"Is this good for me?" before you decide on what to do, buy or use.
你要坐下來(lái)問(wèn)問(wèn)自己，“這對(duì)我有好處嗎？”在你決定做什么之前，試一試。
If you're not intentional with your life, you'll simply do what everyone thinks is normal and as a result, you'll lose control over your life and individuality control your own destiny or someone else will.
如果你對(duì)人生沒(méi)有意識(shí)，你僅僅隨大流，結(jié)果就是，你會(huì)對(duì)人生及個(gè)性失控，掌握你的命運(yùn)，不然別人就會(huì)插手。
Let me conclude this video with a simple warning. The world is a jungle.
我用一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的警示來(lái)結(jié)束這個(gè)視頻。這個(gè)世界是個(gè)森林。
Just as lions wake up each day to look for smaller animals to eat, many people and cultures are out there, ready to control your life.
獅子每天早上醒來(lái)去捕食小動(dòng)物，很多人以及文化也一樣，要控制你的人生。
If you don't control it by yourself, control your own destiny or someone else will.
如果自己不能掌握自己命運(yùn)，其他人就會(huì)掌握你的命運(yùn)。
