TED演講：請別忘記感謝身邊的人

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, “Why wouldn't I thank it, even though they're supposed to do it?”

So, the question is, why was I blocking it? Why were other people blocking it? Why can I say, “I'll take my steak medium rare, I need size six shoes,” but I won't say, “Would you praise me this way?” And it's because I'm giving you critical data about me.I'm telling you where I'm insecure.I'm telling you where I need your help.And I'm treating you, my inner circle, like you're the enemy.Because what can you do with that data? You could neglect me.You could abuse it.Or you could actually meet my need.And I took my bike into the bike store--I love this--same bike, and they'd do something called “truing” the wheels.The guy said, “You know, when you true the wheels, it's going to make the bike so much better.” I get the same bike back, and they've taken all the little warps out of those same wheels I've had for two and a half years, and my bike is like new.So, I'm going to challenge all of you.I want you to true your wheels: be honest about the praise that you need to hear.What do you need to hear? Go home to your wife--go ask her, what does she need? Go home to your husband--what does he need? Go home and ask those questions, and then help the people around you.And it's simple.And why should we care about this? We talk about world peace.How can we have world peace with different cultures, different languages? I think it starts household by household, under the same roof.So, let's make it right in our own backyard.And I want to thank all of you in the audience for being great husbands, great mothers, friends, daughters, sons.And maybe somebody's never said that to you, but you've done a really, really good job.And thank you for being here, just showing up and changing the world with your ideas.Thank you.(Applause)

第二篇：TED英語演講稿：請別忘記感謝身邊的人

Hi.I'm here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine.嗨。我在這里要和大家談談 向別人表達贊美，傾佩和謝意的重要性。并使它們聽來真誠，具體。

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.之所以我對此感興趣 是因為我從我自己的成長中注意到 幾年前，當我想要對某個人說聲謝謝時，當我想要贊美他們時，當我想接受他們對我的贊揚，但我卻沒有說出口。我問我自己，這是為什么? 我感到害羞，我感到尷尬。接著我產生了一個問題 難道我是唯一一個這么做的人嗎? 所以我決定做些探究。

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.我非常幸運的在一家康復中心工作，所以我可以看到那些因為上癮而面臨生與死的人。有時候這一切可以非常簡單地歸結為，他們最核心的創傷來自于他們父親到死都未說過“他為他們而自豪”。但他們從所有其它家庭或朋友那里得知 他的父親告訴其他人為他感到自豪，但這個父親從沒告訴過他兒子。因為他不知道他的兒子需要聽到這一切。

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, “Why wouldn't I thank it, even though they're supposed to do it?”

因此我的問題是，為什么我們不索求我們需要的東西呢? 我認識一個結婚25年的男士 渴望聽到他妻子說，“感謝你為這個家在外賺錢，這樣我才能在家陪伴著孩子，” 但他從來不去問。我認識一個精于此道的女士。每周一次，她見到丈夫后會說，“我真的希望你為我對這個家和孩子們付出的努力而感謝我。” 他會應和到“哦，真是太棒了，真是太棒了。” 贊揚別人一定要真誠，但她對贊美承擔了責任。一個從我上幼兒園就一直是朋友的叫April的人，她會感謝她的孩子們做了家務。她說：“為什么我不表示感謝呢，即使他們本來就要做那些事情?”

So, the question is, why was I blocking it? Why were other people blocking it? Why can I say, “I'll take my steak medium rare, I need size six shoes,” but I won't say, “Would you praise me this way?” And it's because I'm giving you critical data about me.I'm telling you where I'm insecure.I'm telling you where I need your help.And I'm treating you, my inner circle, like you're the enemy.Because what can you do with that data? You could neglect me.You could abuse it.Or you could actually meet my need.因此我的問題是，為什么我不說呢? 為什么其它人不說呢? 為什么我能說：“我要一塊中等厚度的牛排，我需要6號尺寸的鞋子，” 但我卻不能說：“你可以贊揚我嗎?” 因為這會使我把我的重要信息與你分享。會讓我告訴了你我內心的不安。會讓你認為我需要你的幫助。雖然你是我最貼心的人，我卻把你當作是敵人。你會用我托付給你的重要信息做些什么呢? 你可以忽視我。你可以濫用它。或者你可以滿足我的要求。

And I took my bike into the bike store--I love this--same bike, and they'd do something called “truing” the wheels.The guy said, “You know, when you true the wheels, it's going to make the bike so much better.” I get the same bike back, and they've taken all the little warps out of those same wheels I've had for two and a half years, and my bike is like new.So, I'm going to challenge all of you.I want you to true your wheels: be honest about the praise that you need to hear.What do you need to hear? Go home to your wife--go ask her, what does she need? Go home to your husband--what does he need? Go home and ask those questions, and then help the people around you.我把我的自行車拿到車行--我喜歡這么做--同樣的自行車，他們會對車輪做整形。那里的人說：“當你對車輪做整形時，它會使自行車變成更好。” 我把這輛自行車拿回來，他們把有小小彎曲的鐵絲從輪子上拿走 這輛車我用了2年半，現在還像新的一樣。所以我要問在場的所有人，我希望你們把你們的車輪整形一下： 真誠面對對你們想聽到的贊美。你們想聽到什么呢? 回家問問你們的妻子，她想聽到什么? 回家問問你們的丈夫，他想聽到什么? 回家問問這些問題，并幫助身邊的人實現它們。

And it's simple.And why should we care about this? We talk about world peace.How can we have world peace with different cultures, different languages? I think it starts household by household, under the same roof.So, let's make it right in our own backyard.And I want to thank all of you in the audience for being great husbands, great mothers, friends, daughters, sons.And maybe somebody's never said that to you, but you've done a really, really good job.And thank you for being here, just showing up and changing the world with your ideas.非常簡單。為什么要關心這個呢? 我們談論世界和平。我們怎么用不同的文化，不同的語言來保持世界和平? 我想要從每個小家庭開始。所以讓我們在家里就把這件事情做好。我想要感謝所有在這里的人們 因為你們是好丈夫，好母親，好伙伴，好女兒和好兒子。或許有些人從沒跟你們說過 但你們已經做得非常非常得出色了。感謝你們來到這里，向世界顯示著你們的智慧，并用它們改變著世界。

第四篇：TED演講：有夢想請別“分享”

TED演講：有夢想請別“分享”

Everyone, please think of your biggest personal goal.For real--you can take a second.You've got to feel this to learn it.Take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal, okay? Imagine deciding right now that you're going to do it.Imagine telling someone that you meet today what you're going to do.Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you.Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud? Don't you feel one step closer already, like it's already becoming part of your identity?Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling now will make you less likely to do it.Repeated psychology tests have proven that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen.Any time you have a goal, there are some steps that need to be done, some work that needs to be done in order to achieve it.Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you had actually done the work.But when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it, psychologists have found that it's called a “social reality.” The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done.And then, because you felt that satisfaction, you're less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary.(Laughter)So this goes against the conventional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right--so they hold us to it.So, let's look at the proof.1926, Kurt Lewin, founder of social psychology, called this “substitution.” 1933, Vera Mahler found, when it was acknowledged by others, it felt real in the mind.1982, Peter

Gollwitzer wrote a whole book about this and in 2009, he did some new tests that were published.It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests--everyone wrote down their personal goal.Then half of them announced their

commitment to this goal to the room, and half didn't.Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time.Now, those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes, on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt that they had a long way to go still to achieve their goal.But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes, on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.So, if this is true, what can we do? Well, you could resist the temptation to announce your goal.You can delay the gratification that the social acknowledgement brings, and you can understand that your mind mistakes the talking for the doing.But if you do need to talk about something, you can state it in a way that gives you no satisfaction, such

as, “I really want to run this marathon, so I need to train five times a week and kick my ass if I don't, okay?”

So audience, next time you're tempted to tell someone your goal, what will you say?(Silence)Exactly, well done.(Applause)

◎ 主題簡介

關于環境的辯論通常被定性為經濟發展和保護地球這兩種勢力間的較量。然而，大多數TED演講者堅持魚和熊掌可以兼得的觀點——只要我們在處理環境問題時足夠聰明。

阿爾·戈爾作為宣傳氣候危機的領軍人，堅持人類可以通過細微處的改進以在避免災難的同時保持經濟的活躍發展。建筑師威廉·麥克多納向人們展現了偉大設計的力量，它作用在整個文明體系上，而不僅僅是針對局部領域，并能持久地擔負起豐富的未來。馬約拉·卡特談及了她為曾陷入腐化的的紐約南布隆克斯區帶來綠色生機的工程。

愛德華·伯汀斯基關于環境損害和經濟發展的異常精致的攝影作品記錄了人類發展從未停滯的腳步。而生物學家愛德華·奧斯伯·威爾森向我們分享了他最大的心愿——人類社會團結起來保護地球上的生命。
