500人成功经验 　　TED是一个缩写,它代表技术(technology)、娱乐(entertainment)与设计(design)。TED大会诞生于1984年,其发起人是理查德?沃曼(RichardWurman)。2002年起,克里斯?安德森(Chris Anderson)接管TED大会。他创立了种子基金会(The Sapling Foundation),TED大会就是由这一非盈利性机构支持举办的。每一年的三月,众多科学家、设计师、文学家和音乐家等各领域的杰出人物于美国聚首一堂,在TED大会上分享他们关于技术、社会、人文的思考和探索。U2乐队主唱Bono、美国前总统Bill Clinton、微软前总裁Bill Gates都曾于TED大会上获颁TED大奖。 　　成功学分析家、TED演讲者Richard St. John综合过去与500位成功人士访谈的经验,归纳出成功人士的8个共同特质。 　　 　　What makes TED-sters 1)tick? This is really a two-hour presentation I give to high school students, cut down to three minutes. And it all started one day on a plane, on my way to TED, seven years ago. And in the seat next to me was a high school student, a teenager, and she came from a really poor family. And she wanted to make something of her life. And she asked me a simple little question: she said, what leads to success? And I felt really badly, because I couldn’t give her a good answer. So I get off the plane and I come to TED. And I think, 2)geez, I’m in the middle of a room of successful people. So why don’t I ask them what helped them succeed and pass it on to kids? So here we are, seven years, 500 interviews later and I’m going to tell you what really leads to success and makes TED-sters tick. 　　And the first thing is Passion. 　　 　　TED-sters do it for love, they don’t do it for money. Carol Colleta says, “I would pay someone to do what I do.” The interesting thing is, if you do it for love, the money comes anyway. 　　Work. 　　Rupert Murdoch said to me, “It’s all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have a lot of fun.” Did he say fun?! Rupert? Yes, TED-sters do have fun working, and they work hard. I figure they’re not 3)workaholics, they’re 4)workafrolics. 　　Good. 　　Alex Garden says, “To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good at it.” There’s no magic; it’s practice, practice, practice. 　　And it’s Focus. 　　Norma Jewison said to me, “I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing.” 　　And Push. 　　David Gallo
