財(cái)富精英勵(lì)志演講 第33期:巴菲特:決定你成功的因素(3)
然后，我這里再給你們下個(gè)跘兒。
I would say that be part of owning 10% of thisperson,
在你買進(jìn)10%你的同學(xué)的余生時(shí)，
you have to get rid of, to short 10% of somebodyelse in the class.
你還要賣出10%的另外一個(gè)同學(xué)的余生。
That is more fun, isn’t it?
這不是很有趣嗎?
And you think that who do I want to go short of?
你會(huì)想我到底賣誰(shuí)呢?
Again you wouldn't pick the person with the lowest IQ.
你可能還是不會(huì)找IQ最低的。
You would start to think about the person really who turned you off for one reason or another.
你可能會(huì)選那個(gè)讓你厭惡的同學(xué)，
And quality, quite a part from their academic achievement.
以及那些令你討厭的品質(zhì)。
Their qualities, you don’t want to be around them, other people don't want to be around them.
那個(gè)你不愿打交道的人，其他人也不愿意與之打交道的人。
What were the qualities that lead to that?
是什么品質(zhì)導(dǎo)致了那一點(diǎn)呢?
That will be a whole bunch of things.
你能想出一堆來(lái)，
You know that is a person a little egotistical, or a person who is greedy, who is slightlydishonest, cuts comers, so all of these qualities.
比如不夠誠(chéng)實(shí)，愛占小便宜等等這些，
And you can write those down on the right land side.
你可以把它們寫在紙的右欄。
As you look at those qualities on the left and right hand side, there is one interesting thingabout them.
當(dāng)你端詳紙的左欄和右欄時(shí)，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)有意思的一點(diǎn)。
It is not the ability to throw a football 60 yards.
能否將橄欖球扔出60碼之外并不重要，
It is not the ability to nm the 100 yard dash in 9.3 seconds.
是否能在9秒3之內(nèi)跑100碼也不重要，
It is not being the best looking person in the class.
是否是班上最好看的也無(wú)關(guān)大局。
They are all qualities that if you really want to have the ones on the left hand side, you can havethem.
真正重要的是那些在紙上左欄里的品質(zhì)。
I mean they are qualities of behavior, temperament, character, that achievable,
這些行為，脾氣，和性格的品質(zhì)，都是可以做到的。
they are not forbidden to anybody in this group.
且對(duì)任何人都是開放的。
And if you look at the qualities on the right hand side, the ones you find that turned you off inother people,
再看看那些右欄里那些讓你厭惡的品質(zhì)，
there is not a quality there that you have to have.
沒有一項(xiàng)是你想追求的。
You have, you can get rid of it.
如果你有的話，你也可以改掉。
You can get rid of it a lot easier at your age than at my age,
在你們這個(gè)年紀(jì)，改起來(lái)比在我這個(gè)年紀(jì)容易得多，
because most behaviors is (are) habitual.
因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)這些行為都是逐漸固定下來(lái)的。
And they say the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.
人們都說習(xí)慣的枷鎖開始輕得讓人感受不到，一旦你感覺到的時(shí)候，已經(jīng)是沉重得無(wú)法去掉了。
And there is no question about it.
這是毫無(wú)疑問的。
I see people with these self-destructive behavior patterns at my age or even twenty yearsyounger and they really are entrapped by them.
我見過很多我這個(gè)年紀(jì)或者比我還年輕20歲的人，有著自我破壞性習(xí)慣而又難以自拔。
They go around ,and they do things that turn off other people right and left.
他們走到哪里都招人厭惡。
And they don't need to be that way but by a certain point they get so they can hardly changeit.
他們不需要那樣，但是他們已經(jīng)無(wú)可救藥。
But at your age you can have any habits, any patterns of behavior that you wish.
但是在你們這個(gè)年紀(jì)，任何習(xí)慣和行為模式都可以有，只要你們?cè)敢狻?/p>
It is simply a question of which you decide.
就只是一個(gè)選擇的問題。
Ben Graham in his low teens looked around at the people he admired,
就象本杰明·格拉姆一樣，在他還是十幾歲的少年時(shí)，他四顧看看那些令人尊敬的人，
and he said that, “You know, I want to be admired, so why don’t I just behave like them?"
他想：我也要做一個(gè)被人尊敬的人，為什么我不象那些人一樣行事呢?
And he found that there was nothing impossible about behaving like them.
然后他發(fā)現(xiàn)那樣去做并不是不可能的。
And similarly he did the same thing on the reverse side in terms of getting rid of thosequalities.
他對(duì)那些令人討厭的品質(zhì)采取了與此相反的方式而加以摒棄。
So I would suggest that if you write those qualities down and think about them a while andmake them habitual,
所以我說，如果你把那些品質(zhì)都寫下來(lái)，好好思量一下，擇善而從，
you will be the one you want to buy 10% off when you are all through.
你自己可能就是那個(gè)你愿意買入10%余生的人!
And the beauty of it is that you already own 100% of yourself and you are stuck with it.
更好的是，你自己本就100%的擁有你自己了。
So you might as well be that person, that somebody else.
所以你也會(huì)成為那樣的人。
