【激情 passion】做事情要有激情，激情源自驱动力，成功人士总是被热爱驱动。
Freeman Thomas 说：“我总是被我的热情所牵引着”
TED的讲演者因为热爱才做事情，不是为了钱。
Carol Colletta 说：“我会付给别人钱去做我的工作。”
有趣的是：如果你是为了热爱而做的，钱自然而然就来了。
【努力 work】
Rupert Murdoch 曾经告诉过我 “天上不会掉馅饼，做任何事情，都要努力的做，开心的做。” 他提到了乐趣？Rupert？是的！
TED讲演者都有一份充满乐趣的工作，而且他们都很刻苦。 我觉得，他们都不是工作狂，他们是享受工作狂。
【精通 good】
不管做什么事情，都要沉浸其中，一定要做到最好。想要做到精通没有秘诀，就是练习，练习，再练习。
【专注 focus】
“我想成功就要使自己专注于一件事情。”
【强迫 push】
强迫你自己。你要强迫自己去战胜羞涩和自我怀疑。”Goldie Hawn说：“我总是怀疑自己不够优秀，不够聪明。 我从不相信我会成功。”
不过自己强迫自己不是容易的事情，这就是为什么要发明妈妈。
【服务 serve】
现在很多孩子告诉我他们想成为百万富翁。 但是我对他们说的是： “好的，但是你不能为你自己服务，”
“你要为他人服务，为他人创造价值，因为这就是人们致富的方式。"
【点子 ideas】
怎样才能有创意？要聆听（listen），要观察(observe)，要有好奇心（be curious），不懂就问（ask question），解决问题（problem solve），创造联系（make connections）。
【坚持 persist 】
恒心是成功的第一要诀。
Joe Kraus 说 :”你必须坚持度过失败，你必须坚持度过cra
p“ ”这里的crap是指”批评，拒绝，卑鄙小人和压力““
相信我， 这重要的八点就是通向成功的秘诀。
视频原文
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, jeez, 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 gonna tell you what really leads to success and makes TED-sters tick.
And the first thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion." TED-sters do it for love; they don't do it for money. Carol Coletta says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And 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 figured, they're not workaholics. They're 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. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing yourself on one thing."
And push! David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've gotta push, push, push." You gotta push through shyness and self-doubt. Goldie Hawn says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart enough. I didn't think I'd make it." Now it's not always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers. (Laughter) Frank Gehry -- Frank Gehry said to me, "My mother pushed me."
Serve! Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor." Now a lot of kids tell me they want to be millionaires. And the first thing I say to them is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you gotta serve others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich."
Ideas! TED-ster Bill Gates says, "I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software company." I'd say it was a pretty good idea. And there's no magic to creativity in coming up with ideas -- it's just doing some very simple things. And I give lots of evidence.
Persist! Joe Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success." You gotta persist through failure. You gotta persist through crap! Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure." (Laughter) So, the big -- the answer to this questio
n is simple: Pay 4,000 bucks and come to TED. Or failing that, do the eight things -- and trust me, these are the big eight things that lead to success.
Thank you TED-sters for all your interviews!
