ted演讲稿篇1

璀璨星空中，我不是最耀眼的那颗星，却依旧快乐的运行在自己的轨道上;万里长空中，我不是最矫健的那只雄鹰，却依旧快乐的翱翔在苍茫的蓝天下;在创先争优活动中，我不是最优秀的那个人，却依旧快乐的忙碌在青春飞扬的校园里。

快乐的忙碌在校园里，忙碌在太平最边远的六中校园里，这就是我的选择。

岁月的流逝中我总是如此清晰的记得，在20__年8月17日，我独自一人骑着一辆略显破旧的自行车，经过一个小时的颠簸，伴着一路询问，终于从城市西郊的平安中部，跨越整个城市，来到了城市南郊的孙家湾。带着懵懂青涩，我走进六中的校园，走进孩子们中间，开始了三尺讲台相伴、四季风雨携手的从教生涯，成为了一个名副其实的六中人。如今，我已在六中校园走过了十八载光阴。十八年的经历可以是一本书，写满苦辣辛酸却只能甘苦自知;十八年的记忆可以绵远悠长，而苦和累就是记忆的的主旋律。

记得曾经因为公交车难坐，我每天只能骑着自行车往返两个小时上班下班。晴天，我披着一身尘土，雾天，我披着一身潮湿。酷暑的烈日，汗水伴我走过，冬日的寒风，坚强伴我走过。冰雪中，我曾无数次的滑到又爬起，风雨中，雨水曾无数次的使我双眼迷蒙。这样的困苦中，我选择了坚守，选择了留在这里，留在太平最边远的地方做一名普普通通的教师。

后来，我嫁到了太平，开始了挤三路公共汽车的生活。矿工们高大结实的身体时常将我夹在中间，我在他们宽阔的后背间左躲右闪，只为了露出口鼻，呼吸一点新鲜空气。有时为了准时上班，因为车内拥挤，我只能挂在车门口，在坑坑洼洼的颠簸中，体验车在飞驰时风从耳边呼啸而过的感觉。这不是我一个人的经历，这是六中人的经历。或许正因为如此，有太多的人选择了下山，选择了远离孙家湾的南山，高德的东山，而我仍然选择了坚守，选择了留在这里，留在太平最边远的地方做一名普普通通的教师。

在无数次的动摇中，我无数次的选择了留在这里!留在这里，为我爱的事业倾注我的满腔热情，为我的学生倾注我全部的爱，包括那些时常为老师添些麻烦的孩子!留在这里，努力去改变因为文化缺失而带来的心灵的贫瘠，去面对因为些许无知而无比蛮横的家长，无奈的承受付出与收获难成正比的困惑。

佛家有云：“我不入地狱，谁入地狱?”

而我总是告诉自己：“我不在这里，谁在这里?”

于是我便一直在这里，从孙家湾的南山下到高德的东山，在太平最边远穷苦的地方，无悔无憾的忙碌着、执著着。汗水和泪水曾浸透了我走过的路途，年少的激情与梦想也在走过的岁月中一路洒落，深深地融进了我脚下的这片土地，生长成了我对教育事业更加无怨无悔的热爱，也见证了我由青涩少年成长为骨干教师的历程。而曾有的无奈，曾经流过的泪水，都在岁月的流转中，在孩子们欢呼雀跃着向我跑来的身影里，在一批又一批毕业生依依不舍的挥别中，化成了我的坚强，我的动力，我的执著，让我伴着太平教育不断发展的脉搏，不断的成长。

作为六中人，我深知难得有人对我们的辛苦对我们的无奈感同身受，也难得有人可以理解我们的努力和付出，但我依旧以我的努力为荣，以我的付出为荣，更以我的选择为荣。

是啊!我无怨无悔的选择了这里!选择了每天在疾驰的公交车上，迎接这里的第一缕晨曦，送走这里的最后一抹余辉。我无悔于这样的选择，即使岁月将细密的皱纹布满我的额头，将青丝染成白发，我依旧无悔于我的选择。

ted演讲稿篇2

when i was nine years old i went off to summer camp for the first time. andmy mother packed me a suitcase full of books, which to me seemed like aperfectly natural thing to do. because in my family, reading was the primarygroup activity. and this might sound antisocial to you, but for us it was reallyjust a different way of being social. you have the animal warmth of your familysitting right ne_t to you, but you are also free to go roaming around theadventureland inside your own mind. and i had this idea that camp was going tobe just like this, but better. (laughter) i had a vision of 10 girls sitting ina cabin cozily reading books in their matching nightgowns.

(laughter)

camp was more like a keg party without any alcohol. and on the very firstday our counselor gathered us all together and she taught us a cheer that shesaid we would be doing every day for the rest of the summer to instill campspirit. and it went like this: "r-o-w-d-i-e, that's the way we spell , rowdie, let's get rowdie." yeah. so i couldn't figure out for the lifeof me why we were supposed to be so rowdy, or why we had to spell this wordincorrectly. (laughter) but i recited a cheer. i recited a cheer along witheverybody else. i did my best. and i just waited for the time that i could gooff and read my books.

but the first time that i took my book out of my suitcase, the coolest girlin the bunk came up to me and she asked me, "why are you being so mellow?" --mellow, of course, being the e_act opposite of r-o-w-d-i-e. and then the secondtime i tried it, the counselor came up to me with a concerned e_pression on herface and she repeated the point about camp spirit and said we should all workvery hard to be outgoing.

and so i put my books away, back in their suitcase, and i put them under mybed, and there they stayed for the rest of the summer. and i felt kind of guiltyabout this. i felt as if the books needed me somehow, and they were calling outto me and i was forsaking them. but i did forsake them and i didn't open thatsuitcase again until i was back home with my family at the end of thesummer.

now, i tell you this story about summer camp. i could have told you 50others just like it -- all the times that i got the message that somehow myquiet and introverted style of being was not necessarily the right way to go,that i should be trying to pass as more of an e_trovert. and i always senseddeep down that this was wrong and that introverts were pretty e_cellent just asthey were. but for years i denied this intuition, and so i became a wall streetlawyer, of all things, instead of the writer that i had always longed to be --partly because i needed to prove to myself that i could be bold and assertivetoo. and i was always going off to crowded bars when i really would havepreferred to just have a nice dinner with friends. and i made theseself-negating choices so refle_ively, that i wasn't even aware that i was makingthem.

now this is what many introverts do, and it's our loss for sure, but it isalso our colleagues' loss and our communities' loss. and at the risk of soundinggrandiose, it is the world's loss. because when it comes to creativity and toleadership, we need introverts doing what they do best. a third to a half of thepopulation are introverts -- a third to a half. so that's one out of every twoor three people you know. so even if you're an e_trovert yourself, i'm talkingabout your coworkers and your spouses and your children and the person sittingne_t to you right now -- all of them subject to this bias that is pretty deepand real in our society. we all internalize it from a very early age withouteven having a language for what we're doing.

now to see the bias clearly you need to understand what introversion 's different from being shy. shyness is about fear of social ersion is more about, how do you respond to stimulation, including socialstimulation. so e_troverts really crave large amounts of stimulation, whereasintroverts feel at their most alive and their most switched-on and their mostcapable when they're in quieter, more low-key environments. not all the time --these things aren't absolute -- but a lot of the time. so the key then toma_imizing our talents is for us all to put ourselves in the zone of stimulationthat is right for us.

but now here's where the bias comes in. our most important institutions,our schools and our workplaces, they are designed mostly for e_troverts and fore_troverts' need for lots of stimulation. and also we have this belief systemright now that i call the new groupthink, which holds that all creativity andall productivity comes from a very oddly gregarious place.

so if you picture the typical classroom nowadays: when i was going toschool, we sat in rows. we sat in rows of desks like this, and we did most ofour work pretty autonomously. but nowadays, your typical classroom has pods ofdesks -- four or five or si_ or seven kids all facing each other. and kids areworking in countless group assignments. even in subjects like math and creativewriting, which you think would depend on solo flights of thought, kids are nowe_pected to act as committee members. and for the kids who prefer to go off bythemselves or just to work alone, those kids are seen as outliers often or,worse, as problem cases. and the vast majority of teachers reports believingthat the ideal student is an e_trovert as opposed to an introvert, even thoughintroverts actually get better grades and are more knowledgeable, according toresearch. (laughter)

okay, same thing is true in our workplaces. now, most of us work in openplan offices, without walls, where we are subject to the constant noise and gazeof our coworkers. and when it comes to leadership, introverts are routinelypassed over for leadership positions, even though introverts tend to be verycareful, much less likely to take outsize risks -- which is something we mightall favor nowadays. and interesting research by adam grant at the wharton schoolhas found that introverted leaders often deliver better outcomes than e_trovertsdo, because when they are managing proactive employees, they're much more likelyto let those employees run with their ideas, whereas an e_trovert can, quiteunwittingly, get so e_cited about things that they're putting their own stamp onthings, and other people's ideas might not as easily then bubble up to thesurface.

now in fact, some of our transformative leaders in history have beenintroverts. i'll give you some e_amples. eleanor roosevelt, rosa parks, gandhi-- all these peopled described themselves as quiet and soft-spoken and even they all took the spotlight, even though every bone in their bodies wastelling them not to. and this turns out to have a special power all its own,because people could feel that these leaders were at the helm, not because theyenjoyed directing others and not out of the pleasure of being looked at; theywere there because they had no choice, because they were driven to do what theythought was right.

now i think at this point it's important for me to say that i actually lovee_troverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are e_troverts,including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course,along the introvert/e_trovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist whofirst popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pureintrovert or a pure e_trovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunaticasylum, if he e_isted at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of theintrovert/e_trovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i oftenthink that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognizeourselves as one type or the other.

and what i'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. weneed more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especiallyimportant when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because whenpsychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find arepeople who are very good at e_changing ideas and advancing ideas, but who alsohave a serious streak of introversion in them.

and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned downdinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamedup many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had inthe back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid tomeet the young children who read his books for fear that they were e_pecting himthis kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with hismore reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sittingalone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and hesays that he never would have become such an e_pert in the first place had henot been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.

now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating --and case in point, is steve wozniak famously coming together with steve jobs tostart apple computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for somepeople it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuriesabout the transcendent power of solitude. it's only recently that we'vestrangely begun to forget it. if you look at most of the world's majorreligions, you will find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekerswho are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then haveprofound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of thecommunity. so no wilderness, no revelations.

this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporarypsychology. it turns out that we can't even be in a group of people withoutinstinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. even about seemingly personaland visceral things like who you're attracted to, you will start aping thebeliefs of the people around you without even realizing that that's what you'redoing.

and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismaticperson in the room, even though there's zero correlation between being the besttalker and having the best ideas -- i mean zero. so ... (laughter) you might befollowing the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you reallywant to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off bythemselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of groupdynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in awell-managed environment and take it from there.

now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are wesetting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making theseintroverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of thetime? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and inparticular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man ofcontemplation and "man" of contemplation. but in america's early days, we livedin what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point,valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you lookat the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like"character, the grandest thing in the world." and they featured role models likeabraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldoemerson called him "a man who does not offend by superiority."

but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture thathistorians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved anagricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people aremoving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside peoplethey've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in acrowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism andcharisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-helpbooks change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like "how towin friends and influence people." and they feature as their role models reallygreat salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our culturalinheritance.

now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm alsonot calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who sendtheir sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and theproblems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are sovast and so comple_ that we are going to need armies of people coming togetherto solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that wegive introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up withtheir own unique solutions to these problems.

so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what?books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, "cat's eye."here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's "the guide for the perple_ed" bymaimonides. but these are not e_actly my books. i brought these books with mebecause they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.

my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a smallapartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growingup, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, very courtly presence andpartly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, everychair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as asurface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, mygrandfather's favorite thing to do in the whole world was to read.

but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in thesermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he wouldtakes the fruits of each week's reading and he would weave these intricatetapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would come from all overto hear him speak.

but here's the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role,he was really modest and really introverted -- so much so that when he deliveredthese sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregationthat he had been speaking to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, whenyou called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely forfear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodatethe crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learnfrom my grandfather's e_ample in my own way.

so i just published a book about introversion, and it took me about sevenyears to write. and for me, that seven years was like total bliss, because i wasreading, i was writing, i was thinking, i was researching. it was my version ofmy grandfather's hours of the day alone in his library. but now all of a suddenmy job is very different, and my job is to be out here talking about it, talkingabout introversion. (laughter) and that's a lot harder for me, because ashonored as i am to be here with all of you right now, this is not my naturalmilieu.

so i prepared for moments like these as best i could. i spent the last yearpracticing public speaking every chance i could get. and i call this my "year ofspeaking dangerously." (laughter) and that actually helped a lot. but i'll tellyou, what helps even more is my sense, my belief, my hope that when it comes toour attitudes to introversion and to quiet and to solitude, we truly are poisedon the brink on dramatic change. i mean, we are. and so i am going to leave younow with three calls for action for those who share this vision.

number one: stop the madness for constant group work. just stop it.(laughter) thank you. (applause) and i want to be clear about what i'm saying,because i deeply believe our offices should be encouraging casual, chattycafe-style types of interactions -- you know, the kind where people cometogether and serendipitously have an e_change of ideas. that is great. it'sgreat for introverts and it's great for e_troverts. but we need much moreprivacy and much more freedom and much more autonomy at work. school, samething. we need to be teaching kids to work together, for sure, but we also needto be teaching them how to work on their own. this is especially important fore_troverted children too. they need to work on their own because that is wheredeep thought comes from in part.

okay, number two: go to the wilderness. be like buddha, have your ownrevelations. i'm not saying that we all have to now go off and build our owncabins in the woods and never talk to each other again, but i am saying that wecould all stand to unplug and get inside our own heads a little more often.

number three: take a good look at what's inside your own suitcase and whyyou put it there. so e_troverts, maybe your suitcases are also full of books. ormaybe they're full of champagne glasses or skyping equipment. whatever it is,i hope you take these things out every chance you get and grace us with yourenergy and your joy. but introverts, you being you, you probably have theimpulse to guard very carefully what's inside your own suitcase. and that'sokay. but occasionally, just occasionally, i hope you will open up yoursuitcases for other people to see, because the world needs you and it needs thethings you carry.

so i wish you the best of all possible journeys and the courage to speaksoftly.

thank you very much.

(applause)

thank you. thank you.

时间都去哪了，时间都在拖延下浪费流失了。

周五下午，各科课代表各司其职，在第二节课下课时攒到办公室，在黑板上布置作业。我是只有在笔记本上记的份，望着黑板，没有讨价的权利。

终于放学了，我收拾书包回到家，安排周末计划：今天，我要把作业写一半，明天上午就把作业一扫而光!其余的时间用于复习。不过，现在肚子有点儿饿，先补充点能量吧!晚餐自然是丰盛无比，我狼吞虎咽，饱餐一顿。

饭后，我吃得太饱，得站着消化一下食物。光站着太无聊，时间不能浪费啊，看会儿电视吧。于是我打开了以前的回放，看起了《挑战不可能》······时间怎么这么快，半个小时过去了，我慌了，赶快拿出作业开始做，一张数学卷还没写完，爸爸就回来了，“十点半了，快睡觉!”无可奈何的我只好遵命。

“起床了，七点了!”我不知是听力不好，还是意志力薄弱，就是不愿离开那暖和的被窝。最终，在妈妈的千呼万唤中我起床了。上午有点没睡醒的感觉，做题效率不高，只完成了昨天的数学卷，下午午睡一会，睡醒看会电视，那作业呢?没事，有的是时间，明天还有一天呢!

周日上午，总感觉我有一点思维混乱，简简单单的题被我“酝酿”成了十分复杂的题目，完成了历史作业和地理作业。下午又完成了政治作业。还不防抓住兴趣爱好，画了一会儿画······天黑了，我立即想起：生物卷子还没写完!我慌了神，埋到桌子旁，求助“作业帮”，连搜带写搞了四十多分钟，总算是写完了。现在想想看，周五我还想着用一天半时间去复习呢!

拖延症不只浪费时间，还拖延人的成长啊。我要和拖延症说再见。

ted演讲稿篇5

01. remember to say thank you

hi. i'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine.

and the way i got interested in this was, i noticed in myself, when i was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that i would want to say thank you to someone, i would want to praise them, i would want to take in their praise of me and i'd just stop it. and i asked myself, why? i felt shy, i felt embarrassed. and then my question became, am i the only one who does this? so, i decided to investigate.

i'm fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility, so i get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction. and sometimes it comes down to something as simple as, their core wound is their father died without ever saying he's proud of them. but then, they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him, but he never told the son. it's because he didn't know that his son needed to hear it.

so my question is, why don't we ask for the things that we need? i know a gentleman, married for 25 years, who's longing to hear his wife say, "thank you for being the breadwinner, so i can stay home with the kids," but won't ask. i know a woman who's good at this. she, once a week, meets with her husband and says, "i'd really like you to thank me for all these things i did in the house and with the kids." and he goes, "oh, this is great, this is great." and praise really does have to be genuine, but she takes responsibility for that. and a friend of mine, april, who i've had since kindergarten, she thanks her children for doing their chores. and she said, "

but before i show you what’s inside,

i will tell you that’s going to do incredible things for you .

it will bring all of your family together.

you will feel loved and appreciated like never before.

and reconnect to friends and acquaintances you haven’t heard from in years.

adoration and admiration will overwhelm you.

it will recalibrate what’s important in your life.

it will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith.

you’ll have a new understanding and trust in your body.

you’ll have unsurpassed vitality and energy.

you’ll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you’ll have a healthier lifestyle. and get this, you’ll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing.

you’ll eat countless gourmet meals.

flowers will arrive by the truck load.

people will say to you: “you look great! have you had any work done?”

and you’ll have a life-time supply of good drugs.

you’ll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled.

your life will have new meaning: peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana.

the price?

fifty-five thousand dollars.

and that’s an incredible deal.

by now, i know you’re dying to know what it is and where you can get one.

does amazon carry it?

dose it have the apple logo on it?

is there a waiting list?

not likely.

this gift came to me about five months ago.

and looked more like this when it was all wrapped up.

not quite so pretty.

and this.

and then this.

it was a rare jam.

a brain tumor.

hemangioblastoma.

the gift that keeps on giving.

and while i’m ok now.

i wouldn’t wish this gift for you.

i’m not sure you’d want it.

but i would’t change my experience.

it profoundly altered my life in ways it didn’t expect.

in all the ways i just shared with you.

so the next time you are faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted and uncertain. consider that it just may be a gift.

people returning to work after a career break: i call them relaunchers. these are people who have taken career breaks for elder care, for childcare reasons, pursuing a personal interest or a personal health issue. closely related are career transitioners of all kinds: veterans, military spouses, retirees coming out of retirement or repatriating expats. returning to work after a career break is hard because of a disconnect between the employers and the relaunchers. employers can view hiring people with a gap on their resume as a high-risk proposition, and individuals on career break can have doubts about their abilities to relaunch their careers, especially if theyve been out for a long time. this disconnect is a problem that im trying to help solve.

有些人经过离职长假之后 重新投入到工作中来， 我称他们为“再从业者”。 这些人选择休离职长假， 有些是要照顾老人， 有些是要照顾孩子， 也有些是追求个人爱好， 或是健康因素。 各行各业转业的人 都与之紧密相关： 退伍军人、军嫂， 退休返聘的人， 或遣返回国者。 离职长假后重返工作 是非常困难的， 因为雇主和再从业者之间 有了隔阂。 雇主们认为，雇佣这些 简历上工作时间不连贯的人 是风险极高的决策， 而正在离职长假中的人 可能对自己再从业的能力产生疑虑， 特别是那些离职时间较长者。 两者间的缺乏联系 是我在尝试解决的问题。

now, successful relaunchers are everywhere and in every field. this is sami kafala. hes a nuclear physicist in the uk who took a five-year career break to be home with his five children. the singapore press recently wrote about nurses returning to work after long career breaks. and speaking of long career breaks, this is mimi kahn. shes a social worker in orange county, california, who returned to work in a social services organization after a 25-year career break. thats the longest career break that im aware of. supreme court justice sandra day oconnor took a five-year career break early in her career.

如今，我们在各行各业 都能见到成功的再从业者。 这位是萨米·科法拉， 他是英国的一位核物理学家， 因为要在家照顾五个孩子 而度过了五年的离职长假。 新加坡的媒体最近发表了文章， 内容是有关离职长假后再从业的护士。 提到长时间的离职假期， 这位是米米·卡恩, 她是加州奥兰治县的一位社工， 她在度过20xx年的离职长假后 回到了一个社会服务组织工作。 这是据我所知最长的离职假期。 最高法院法官桑德拉·戴·奥康纳， 在其职业生涯早期 度过了五年离职长假。

and this is tracy shapiro, who took a 13-year career break. tracy answered a call for essays by the today show from people who were trying to return to work but having a difficult time of it. tracy wrote in that she was a mom of five who loved her time at home, but she had gone through a divorce and needed to return to work, plus she really wanted to bring work back into her life because she loved working. tracy was doing what so many of us do when we feel like weve put in a good day in the job search. she was looking for a finance or accounting role, and she had just spent the last nine months very diligently researching companies online and applying for jobs with no results.

这位是特蕾西·莎碧罗， 她度过了20xx年的离职长假。 特蕾西答复了从“今日秀”节目观众中 征集到的问题， 他们想要重返工作， 却发现很难做到。 特蕾西写道：自己是五个孩子的母亲， 也很享受居家的时间， 但是她历经了一次离婚， 并且急需回到工作状态， 另外，她很想把工作 带回她的生活中， 因为她也很享受工作。 特蕾西也曾做过 我们很多人所做的事， 每天不停的搜寻合适的工作。 她找过财经、会计领域的职位， 她在那之前花掉了九个月时间， 很努力地调查网上的公司， 然后投放简历，却一无所获。

i met tracy in june of 20xx, when the today show asked me if i could work with her to see if i could help her turn things around. the first thing i told tracy was she had to get out of the house. i told her she had to go public with her job search and tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. i also told her, "you are going to have a lot of conversations that dont go anywhere. expect that, and dont be discouraged by it. there will be a handful that ultimately lead to a job opportunity."

我在20xx年六月见到了特蕾西， 那时“今日秀”节目 问我可否与她合作， 看我能不能帮她走出困境。 我告诉特蕾西的第一件事， 就是她必须走出家门。 我告诉她，她必须 公开自己求职的想法， 然后告诉她认识的所有人， 自己再从业的强烈意愿。 我还告诉她， “有很多你参与的对话 是对你完全没有帮助的。 你要做好心理准备， 别因为那些而灰心丧气。 找到工作机会之前， 确实要经历很多琐事。”

ill tell you what happened with tracy in a little bit, but i want to share with you a discovery that i made when i was returning to work after my own career break of 11 years out of the full-time workforce. and that is, that peoples view of you is frozen in time. what i mean by this is, when you start to get in touch with people and you get back in touch with those people from the past, the people with whom you worked or went to school, they are going to remember you as you were before your career break. and thats even if your sense of self has diminished over time, as happens with so many of us the farther removed we are from our professional identities. so for example, you might think of yourself as someone who looks like this. this is me, crazy after a day of driving around in my minivan. or here i am in the kitchen. but those people from the past, they dont know about any of this. they only remember you as you were, and its a great confidence boost to be back in touch with these people and hear their enthusiasm about your interest in returning to work.

我稍后再告诉你们 特蕾西是如何处理的， 我想先跟大家分享 我的一个发现， 那时我刚刚回到工作中， 结束了自己离开全职工作大军 20xx年的长假。 这个发现就是， 人们对你的印象凝固在过去。 我的意思是， 当你再次开始与人打交道， 与曾经合作过的人重新接触， 例如跟你一起上学、工作过的人， 他们对你的印象是 离职长假之前的你。 我们的自我意识 随着时间推移逐渐淡化， 我们很多人都会这样， 我们距离我们的职业身份 也就越来越远。 举个例子， 你可能把你自己看成这样。 这就是我，开了一天小面包车， 整个人感觉很疯狂。 这是我在厨房里的样子。 但是从前的那些人， 他们对这些一无所知。 他们只记得你曾经的样子， 当你重新与这些人沟通时， 真是大大的增强了自信心， 而且他们对你有再从业的兴趣 感到非常的开心。

theres one more thing i remember vividly from my own career break. and that was that i hardly kept up with the business news. my background is in finance, and i hardly kept up with any news when i was home caring for my four young children. so i was afraid id go into an interview and start talking about a company that didnt exist anymore. so i had to resubscribe to the wall street journal and read it for a good six months cover to cover before i felt like i had a handle on what was going on in the business world again.

我还清晰地记得发生在 我离职长假中的一件事。 那时我几乎完全不关注经济新闻。 我曾是财经行业出身， 然而我在家照顾四个孩子时， 我几乎不关注任何的新闻。 所以我很害怕， 自己去参加面试的时候， 会讲到一个不复存在的公司。 所以我重新订阅了华尔街日报， 然后连续看了六个月， 之后我才觉得自己对经济 又有了点解了。

i believe relaunchers are a gem of the workforce, and heres why. think about our life stage: for those of us who took career breaks for childcare reasons, we have fewer or no maternity leaves. we did that already. we have fewer spousal or partner job relocations. were in a more settled time of life. we have great work experience. we have a more mature perspective. were not trying to find ourselves at an employers expense. plus we have an energy, an enthusiasm about returning to work precisely because weve been away from it for a while.

我相信再从业者是 劳动大军中的精英， 原因如下。 想想我们人生的阶段： 对于那些因为要照顾孩子 而休离职假期的人， 大都没有产假，或是产假很短。 我们早就做过这些了。 我们离婚率较低， 也很少因伴侣而调整工作。 我们的生活更稳定。 我们有很棒的工作经历， 更成熟的眼光， 我们不会成为雇主的牺牲品。 此外，我们有一种能量 - 重返岗位的热情， 正是因为我们离职一段时间了。 另外，我也跟雇主讨论，

on the flip side, i speak with employers, and here are two concerns that employers have about hiring relaunchers.

以下是雇主们 关于雇佣再从业者的两个担忧。

the first one is, employers are worried that relaunchers are technologically obsolete. now, i can tell you, having been technologically obsolete myself at one point, that its a temporary condition. i had done my financial analysis so long ago that i used lotus 1-2-3. i dont know if anyone can even remember back that far, but i had to relearn it on excel. it actually wasnt that hard. a lot of the commands are the same. i found powerpoint much more challenging, but now i use powerpoint all the time. i tell relaunchers that employers expect them to come to the table with a working knowledge of basic office management software. and if theyre not up to speed, then its their responsibility to get there. and they do.

其一，雇主担心这些再从业者 技术方面比较落后。 我可以告诉各位， 虽然有段时间我自己技术确实落后， 但那只是暂时的。 很早以前我用“莲花123”软件 来做财经分析， 我不知道有没有人还记得 那么早以前的事了， 这些技能我得在 excel上重新拾起。 其实这并并非难事， 很多的操作指令是一样的。 我发现powerpoint更具挑战性， 但现在我对powerpoint驾轻就熟。 我告诉再从业者们， 雇主希望找工作的人 对基本的办公管理软件 有实践经验。 如果他们操作速度不够快， 那他们就必须变得更高效。 而他们确实做得到。

the second area of concern that employers have about relaunchers is theyre worried that relaunchers dont know what they want to do. i tell relaunchers that they need to do the hard work to figure out whether their interests and skills have changed or have not changed while they have been on career break. thats not the employers job. its the relaunchers responsibility to demonstrate to the employer where they can add the most value.

雇主对再从业者的第二种忧虑， 就是他们担心再从业者 不清楚他们想要做什么。 我告诉再从业者， 他们必须仔细研究， 了解自己的爱好或者技能 在离职长假的过程中 是否发生了变化。 这不是雇主的职责。 这个是再从业者的责任， 把自己展现给雇主， 来充分展示自己可创造的价值。

back in 20xx i started noticing something. i had been tracking return to work programs since 20xx, and in 20xx, i started noticing the use of a short-term paid work opportunity, whether it was called an internship or not, but an internship-like experience, as a way for professionals to return to work. i saw goldman sachs and sara lee start corporate reentry internship programs. i saw a returning engineer, a nontraditional reentry candidate, apply for an entry-level internship program in the military, and then get a permanent job afterward. i saw two universities integrate internships into mid-career executive education programs.

20xx年，我开始注意到一件事。 我从20xx年开始追踪 人们重返岗位的情况， 然而在20xx年，我开始注意到， 一种短期、带薪的工作机会开始出现， 不论它是不是名叫“实习”， 但总之是一个很像实习的经历， 这为重回岗位的专业人士 开辟了一条道路。 我看到高盛和莎莉集团 都开始了此类 二次从业的实习项目。 我看到一个再从业的工程师， 算是不太传统的再从业人士， 申请了一个 军方的初级实习项目， 后来他获得了一个永久的工作。 我看到两所大学 将实习项目整合到 职业中期管理学教育项目中。

so i wrote a report about what i was seeing, and it became this article for harvard business review called "the 40-year-old intern." i have to thank the editors there for that title, and also for this artwork where you can see the 40-year-old intern in the midst of all the college interns. and then, courtesy of fox business news, they called the concept "the 50-year-old intern."

于是，就我所观察到的现象， 我写了一篇报告， 后来它发表在了 《哈佛商业评论》中， 名字叫《40岁的实习生》。 我必须得感谢编者拟的标题， 还有这个很棒的配图， 你们可以看到那个40岁的实习生 出现在一群大学实习生中。 后来，还得感谢福克斯商业新闻， 他们把这个概念称为 “50岁的实习生”。

so five of the biggest financial services companies have reentry internship programs for returning finance professionals. and at this point, hundreds of people have participated. these internships are paid, and the people who move on to permanent roles are commanding competitive salaries. and now, seven of the biggest engineering companies are piloting reentry internship programs for returning engineers as part of an initiative with the society of women engineers. now, why are companies embracing the reentry internship? because the internship allows the employer to base their hiring decision on an actual work sample instead of a series of interviews, and the employer does not have to make that permanent hiring decision until the internship period is over. this testing out period removes the perceived risk that some managers attach to hiring relaunchers, and they are attracting excellent candidates who are turning into great hires.

五家最大的金融服务公司 都设立了再从业实习项目， 专为重回岗位的金融精英。 截至目前，数百人参与了这些项目。 这些实习项目是带薪的， 而且那些晋升到永久岗位的人， 都有极具竞争力的薪资。 现在，七家最大的工程公司， 也在推行再从业实习项目， 来帮助重返岗位的工程师， 这也是女性工程师协会 新方案的一部分。 那么，为什么这些企业 大力支持再从业实习呢? 因为这种实习可以让雇主 基于参与者实际工作成效 来做出雇佣决策， 而非一系列的面试， 而且雇主不必在实习结束之前 就做出永久雇佣的决定。 这段试验期消除了一定的风险， 这关乎某些经理人 对雇佣再从业者的担忧， 同时，这也吸引了大量再从业人士， 他们成为了出色的雇佣对象。

think about how far we have come. before this, most employers were not interested in engaging with relaunchers at all. but now, not only are programs being developed specifically with relaunchers in mind, but you cant even apply for these programs unless you have a gap on your résumé.

各位,想一想我们取得的进步， 在此之前，大多数雇主 根本没兴趣与再从业者打交道。 然而现在，有许多项目在开展实施， 特别是针对再从业者的项目， 如果简历上没有一段空档期， 你根本不能申请这些项目。

this is the mark of real change, of true institutional shift, because if we can solve this problem for relaunchers, we can solve it for other career transitioners too. in fact, an employer just told me that their veterans return to work program is based on their reentry internship program. and theres no reason why there cant be a retiree internship program. different pool, same concept.

这标志着一种实质变化， 一种真正的制度变革， 因为如果我们可以 为再从业者解决这个问题， 我们亦可为其他的职业转型者 解决同样的问题。 事实上，一位雇主刚刚告诉我， 他们的“退伍军人再从业项目”， 就是基于他们的再从业实习项目。 我们也没有理由不去设立 一个“退休人士实习项目”。 不同的对象，相同的概念。

so let me tell you what happened with tracy shapiro. remember that she had to tell everyone she knew about her interest in returning to work. well, one critical conversation with another parent in her community led to a job offer for tracy, and it was an accounting job in a finance department. but it was a temp job. the company told her there was a possibility it could turn into something more, but no guarantees. this was in the fall of 20xx. tracy loved this company, and she loved the people and the office was less than 10 minutes from her house. so even though she had a second job offer at another company for a permanent full-time role, she decided to take her chances with this internship and hope for the best. well, she ended up blowing away all of their expectations, and the company not only made her a permanent offer at the beginning of 20xx, but they made it even more interesting and challenging, because they knew what tracy could handle.

让我告诉你们特蕾西·莎碧罗 最后发生了什么。 各位回想一下， 她必须告诉她认识的每一个人， 自己对重返工作岗位很有兴趣。 结果，她与自己社区里的长辈 进行了一次关键的谈话， 这让她找到了一份工作邀请。 那是一个金融部门的会计工作。 但那是临时的。 公司告诉她， 有可能有岗位晋升的机会， 但是不能保证。 那是20xx年的秋天。 特蕾西很爱那个公司， 而且她喜欢那里的员工， 从办公室去她家只需10分钟。 所以即使她后来得到了 第二份工作邀请， 来自另一家公司， 而且有永久、全职的保证， 她决定在这份实习项目中冒冒险， 尽人事，听天命。 最后，她的业绩 远远超出了所有人的期望值， 公司不但提供了她永久岗位， 那是在20xx年初， 而且他们还让她的工作 更加有趣、有挑战性， 因为他们知道特蕾西可以办得到。

fast forward to 20xx, tracys been promoted. theyve paid for her to get her mba at night. shes even hired another relauncher to work for her. tracys temp job was a tryout, just like an internship, and it ended up being a win for both tracy and her employer.

时间快进到20xx年， 特蕾西获得了晋升。 公司为她的夜校工商管理课程买单。 她甚至雇佣了 另一位再从业者为她工作。 特蕾西的临时工作像是一个试验， 就像实习项目， 而最终，特蕾西和她的雇主 达到了双赢局面。

now, my goal is to bring the reentry internship concept to more and more employers. but in the meantime, if you are returning to work after a career break, dont hesitate to suggest an internship or an internship-like arrangement to an employer that does not have a formal reentry internship program. be their first success story, and you can be the example for more relaunchers to come.

我的目标是将这种 再从业实习的概念 推荐给越来越多的雇主。 但是与此同时， 如果你在离职长假后重返岗位， 别犹豫向雇主提议设立实习项目， 或者类似实习项目的想法， 特别是那些没有 正式的再从业实习项目的公司。 争当他们的第一个成功故事， 而你们都可以成为 未来更多再从业者的楷模。

thank you.

谢谢大家。
