I think a few things I want to speak to you guys about is the importance of you know the experience of what I’ve had in working in the Chinese market.

我只想告诉你们一些我在中国市场工作的经验。

So I think one common mistake that a lot of people do is saying “it is good for China, it’s good for China, “ So people watch a movie that’s Chinese and they say “oh, that was a good movie for a Chinese movie.” and for me it doesn’t cut it, it doesn’t make sense to me, do you understand.

我认为很多人都有一个共同的误区，他们说“这个东西对中国来说是好的”，人们看了一个电影，他们说“这部电影在中国电影里面算是好电影了。”但是对我来说这说明不了什么，这没有任何意义。

A movie is a movie. It shouldn’t be: oh because it’s a Chinese movie, there’s lower standards. So what I think is the most important, especially for all of us you know, we’re lucky enough to have a Western education or a Western upbringing, is to understand that the level of quality of work does not differ in different countries.

Whenever I do something, I don’t think about I’m doing this for China, so what is good for China, I believe everything that I do, even if it’s a Chinese song. I try to think of it as if my friends in America or a person that worked at a radio station they listen to my song, what would they think this song.

Now I’m not thinking, I’m not saying Chinese market is unimportant, it’s just that we cannot say to ourselves that “okay, so I want to work in China and these are the guidelines or the status of what is good.” Because the problem is that, a lot of us may be already thinking everyone’s like China is the next market, China’s the next superpower. China is this and China is that, okay there is a lot of money to be made there, but you can not lose integrity of what you do and what you represent for money, and at the same time if China is going to become the next superpower or the next place to make business happen, then we can not be working at a barometer of saying this is good for China. This is everything has to be good on an international level, and only then will we be able to be standing proud and say : “ this is Chinese made.”

当他十多年前开始创立自己的时装潮牌时，周围人听到“中国制造”，第一反应都是“啊，那质量肯定很糟糕。”

当去跟耐克、匡威谈合作时，对方起先都会因为这是一家中国香港的公司而有所怀疑，即使耐克有一半的产品都是在中国制造完成的。

So everything that I’ve been doing, I’ve been trying to be made in China creatively designed in China, everything is from a Chinese perspective.

So when people think I say made in China or this work we’re based in China and it gives them a bad stigmatism. I have to be very aware of everything that I do and everything that I say. So that if someone from an international level is looking at the product that we’re making or looking at the creative designs or the idea that were coming out of, we can be proud to say that, yeah this is made in China.

It took me three years to keep showing them what we do, showing that we are not at a lower level than other creatives.

Quite honestly every time we make something, although 70% percent of the people that buy it are Chinese. We don’t think of it that way, we think of making a good product.

Now good product it doesn’t matter where you go, it doesn’t matter if you are in Brazil, it doesn’t matter if you are in Russia, it doesn’t matter if you are in Ethiopia. A good product will sell itself. It doesn’t have to be, it doesn’t have to say made where, made where, made where.

So I think the importance of all of you guys is to understand that everything we do we should be doing it for an international level.

I know that a lot of you might return back to China and work, and you might start falling under that same stigmatism, but that is wrong, I’m telling you right now, it’s wrong.

We have to keep knowing what’s good and keep bringing what’s good, so that in China, in 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 years whenever it really is our time to step up to the plate. We are already trained in offering quality level products or quality level thinking not judged on the level of what’s good in China.

I think one of the most important thing is, In China, it’s very hard to speak your mind, it’s very hard to truly and essentially be yourself.

When we go back we have to really really really really stay true to your real roots and stay true to whatever your real inspiration and idea is. Because we are all global and we ‘re all the same people, even though our skin may be a different color, it doesn’t make any difference, so doing something for China should be doing something for the world, and you should not lower your standard for that.

...but I think the most important thing is how to mesh what you know and try to kind of bring it into a larger conversation. So that everyone does not have to change what they want to do.

People might not understand what you’re talking about or what you’re thinking, but if you have a good idea sooner or later, they’re gonna jump on and they’re gonna start giving your praise. And I feel like us as the next voice in generation for China.

You are a part of the world, and you should act the way you want to act and represent the thing that you want to represent.

I think one of the most important thing I’ve ever learned is, if you find a job you love, you really don’t have to work anymore.Cuz it’s something I love, is something I’m passionate for, is something that I want to tell the world.

So I think what’s most important also that I wanted to tell you is, Finance is secondary, passion is first, because like I said if you have passion for something, no matter how hard it is, it’s all worth it.

...believe in yourself and believe n your dreams, and really find your own groove and stick to it believe in it. And no matter if you’re doing it in America, if you’re doing it in China, if you’re doing it in Japan, just do it at the same quality level. Do not, do not because other people are working at a lower standard or a lower thinking, go down to that level,

...I’ve never bent over for anybody, and I think the will power of yourself will be the testament of Chinese people for the next 50 to 100 years. And I think we are the most important people right now in the world. Because we have a great chance. We have one of the largest nations, we’re becoming more and more important on the international level.

And what is most important is the next generation.

As long as I believe in something, I hope that in the future it will change. It might not happen in your lifetime, but we are the force to make that wave to start going. So I believe one day, we can really will be maybe the most influential and most powerful country in the world.

So hopefully you guys can really follow your dreams, understand what the level of quality is and keep at it. Because no one else will have the opportunity like us, ...I think what matters is to be able to inspire the next generation to do better, to make a difference.

...take the good and try to make it better and try to make people better.

陈冠希在演讲中说，他出生在加拿大，但他告诉人们他是中国人。他创办自己的公司，要向世界证明，“中国制造”的质量并不比世界其他任何地方的差。

Edison：

「比如我吧，虽然我在加拿大出生，但我只跟老外说我是 Chinese，告诉他们，我们的东西 Made In China，结果对方说，那太完蛋了。」

WTF?!

Edison第一次找Nike合作的时候，被拒绝了。工厂说从来不为中国公司做鞋子。陈冠希不服：「你们有一半的产品都是在中国制造的，凭什么不给中国人的设计一些发言权？」

Made in China = 质量差？

他首先指出人们对中国产品的普遍错误想法：

I think one common mistake that a lot of people make is say "it's good for China, it's good for China".
我认为很多人常犯的一个错误是总说，“这个东西在中国算好的了。”

陈冠希认为我们不能对国产电影降低标准：

A movie is a movie. It shouldn't be "because it's a Chinese movie, there's lower standard".
电影就是电影，不能因为它是国产电影，就降低标准。

The level of quality of work does not differ in different countries.
工作质量的标准不该因国家的不同而改变。

陈冠希告诉在场的留学生们，他做事时不会考虑产品是否做给中国看，或者用所谓的“中国标准”来考虑好坏，因为，我们不能让“中国制造”变成低标准的标签。

A lot of us may be already thinking that China is the next market, China is the next superpower. There's a lot money to be made there. Sure, but you cannot lose the integrity of what you do and what you represent for money.
很多人认为中国是下一个巨大市场，是潜在的超级大国，在那里可以挣到很多钱。当然，但是你不能为了钱而失去做人做事的品质。

陈冠希用了三年的时间向耐克证明了中国制造的质量并不比别人差。直到十年后的今天，他旗下的品牌仍在制造耐克鞋子，还与耐克签了合约。为此他付出了巨大的努力。还用四个“非常”来强调这一艰辛历程。

That's perseverance and that's a really, really, really, really hard work.
这是一种坚韧不拔的精神，也是非常非常非常非常难的工作。

为此，他再次呼吁在座所有年轻人，要用高质量的中国产品证明中国制造。

A good product will sell itself. It doesn't have to say (it was) made where.
一件好产品会自己证明自己，而无需强调它产自哪里。

The importance of all you guys is to understand that everything that we do, we should be doing it at an international level.
重要的是你们要明白我们做的一切，都要按照国际的标准去做。

金钱永远第二，热爱才最重要

面对台下的青年，陈冠希说，人们可能偶尔不理解你想表达的东西：他还告诉年轻人，要跟随自己的热爱。金钱永远都排在第二位，热爱才是最重要的。如果你只想着赚钱，那你十有八九会失败。

People might not understand what you’re talking about or what you’re thinking. But if you have a good idea, sooner or later, they’re gonna jump on and they’re gonna start giving you praise.
人们不一定会理解你所表达的，或者是你所想的事情。但如果你有一个好的想法，人们早晚都会跟随你的脚步，赏识你的想法。

It might be that all tech is really in right now and you’re like, “Oh, I’m gonna go to that market and try to make some money." Nine out of 10 times you will lose. Because you’re only trying to do it for finance.
现在有的科技领域是很火的，但如果你想要大赚一笔，那么十次有九次你都会失败，因为你只是为了钱。

Finance is secondary, passion is first. Because if you have passion for something, no matter how hard it is, it’s all worth it.
金钱永远都排在第二位，热爱才是最重要的。因为如果你热爱，那么再多困难都是值得的。

他告诉大家，要相信自己，相信梦想。

Believe in yourself and believe in your dreams, and really find your own groove and stick to it, believe in it.
相信自己，相信梦想。要找到你想做的事，相信它，坚持下去。

Edison：

至于他自己，37岁的冠希觉得自己已经老了……

I'm 37. I'm old. You guys are the young ones. So hopefully you guys can really follow your dreams, understand what the level of quality is and keep at it.
我已经37岁了，我已经老了。你们才是年轻一代。希望你们能真正追随自己的梦想，懂得什么是真正的品质，并且一直保持下去。

In a few years, I'll be retired, and hopefully living on an island, sun tanning. And hopefully you guys can be the next ones to push the envelope.
过几年，我就退休了，希望到时能生活在一个小岛上，晒着日光浴。希望你们会是下一批挑战极限的人们。

push the envelope：挑战极限

在演讲的最后，他又再次强调自己中国人的身份，也告诉台下的中国留学生们，记住自己是从哪里来的，能为自己的国家做些什么。

I'm Chinese. I was born in Canada, but I truly believe I'm Chinese. I may not speak the best Mandarin, but I definitely know my culture and my roots. Hopefully you guys will remember where you come from and what you represent, and what you can do to make our nation and our people better.

我是中国人。虽然我生在加拿大，但我真心认为我是个中国人。虽然我的普通话不完美，但我清清楚楚地知道我的文化、我的根。希望你们也能记住自己是从哪里来的，代表的是哪个国家，以及你们能做些什么让我们的国家和人民有更好的未来。
