TED演讲稿

My name is Mel Robbins, and for the last seventeen years, I have done nothing but help people get everything that they want.

我的名字是梅尔罗宾斯, 在过去的十七年中,我什么都没做,除了帮助人们得到他们想要的一切。

Within reason! My husband's here.
合理范围内啦!我老公在场耶!

So, I've done it in the courtroom, in the boardroom, in the bedroom, in people's living room, whatever room you want to be in, if I'm there, I will help you get whatever you want by any means necessary.
所以,我在法庭上、 会议室里、卧室里、在人们的客厅里, 不管你想在哪个房间,如果我在,我会不择手段帮助你得到任何你想要的。

For the last three years – I host a syndicated radio show.
过去的三年,我主持一个 联网播放的电台节目。

Five days a week, I go live in forty cities and I talk to men and women across America who feel stuck.
每周 5 天,我在 40 个城市现场直播,与美国各地感觉被困住的人们谈话。

Do you know that a third of Americans feel dissatisfied with their lives right now?
你知道在这一刻,有三分之一的美国人 对他们的生活感到不满吗?

That is a hundred million people ! That's insane!

那是 1 亿人啊!简直是疯了!


And I've come face to face with it in this new show that I'm doing,which is also insane, it's called "In-laws".

我在我正在做的一个新节目里面对面看到它了,也是疯了。这个节目叫"亲家"。

I move in with families across America,You guessed it!who are at war with their in-laws.

我去美国各地的家庭和他们同住,你猜对了 !这些家庭正和他们的亲家在对抗呢。


We move them into the same house, I verbally assassinate everybody,we open up Pandora's box,and I get people to stop arguing about the donuts,and who is hosting Thanksgiving dinner,and talk about the real stuff.

我们让他们全都住到同一屋檐下, 我对每个人讲话都很机车,我们会打开潘多拉的盒子,我会让他们别为甜甜圈吵架,或谁来主办感恩节晚餐,并谈论实质的东西。

And that's what I want to talk to you about.
这些也是我想要跟你们谈的。

I'm here for you.
我是为你站在这儿的,

I'm going to tell you everything I know in less than eighteen minutes about how to get what you want.

我要用不到18 分钟的时间, 告诉你我知道的一切有关于如何获得你想要的。

So I want you to take a millisecond right now, and think about what you want.

我现在请你花点时间,想一下你想要什么。

You!And I want you to be selfish.

你 !我要你自私地去想。

Screw Simon and the "We" thing. This is about me, right now!
去你的Simon和"我们"。这是关于我,就现在 !

Sorry, Simon. What do you want? And here's the deal.

抱歉,Simon。你想要什么?这问题要这样看,

I don't want it to sound good to other people.
我不要它听起来冠冕堂皇。

Being healthy will not get your ass on a treadmill.
光是健康有甚么动力? 它不会让你的屁股在跑步机上动起来。

Losing your manboobs, so you can hook up with somebody, now that's motivation. 

把你男性乳房给瘦没了, 你才能把到妹子,那才是动力。

So, I want to know: What do you want?
所以,我想知道:你想要什么?

Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to triple your income?
你想减肥吗?你想要你收入翻三倍吗?

Do you want to start a nonprofit? Do you want to find love?
你想要建立一个非营利组织吗?你想要找到真爱吗?

What is it? Get it, right here.
想要什么?留住它,在这里(指脑袋)。

You know what it is, don't analyze it to death, just pick something.
你知道它是什么, 别往死里分析,就选一个。

That's part of the problem. You won't pick.
这是问题的一部分。你没法选择。

So, we're going to be talking about how you get what you want.
所以,我们要谈谈 你如何得到你想要的。

And frankly, getting what you want is simple.
坦白说,得到你想要的,其实很单纯。

But notice I didn't say it was easy.
但注意我没说它很容易。

It's very simple.
它很单纯。

In fact, if you think about it,we live in the most amazing moment in time.
事实上,如果你想一想我们活在一个最令人惊叹的时刻。

So that thing that you have up here, whatever it may be,you want to use healthy eating to cure your diabetes,you want to figure out how to take care of the elders,and start a new hospice center,you want to move to Africa and build a school... Guess what?

你脑袋里想的事,不管它是什么,你想要使用健康饮食治好你的糖尿病,你想要知道如何照顾老年人并成立一个临终关怀中心,你想要去非洲 建立一所学校...你知道么?

You can walk into a book store – right now! 
你可以去一家书店 --现在!

and buy at least ten books written by credentialed experts,on how the hell you do it.
至少买十本资深专家写的书,他们会告诉你怎么做。

You could Google it.
你可以谷歌搜索一下。

And you could probably find at least, I don't know - a thousand blogs documenting the step, by step, by step transformation that somebody else is already doing.
你大概可以找到至少,我不知道的一千个部落格,记录着别人 已经一步一步在做的事情。

You can find anybody online and cyber-stalk them!
你可以在网上找到任何人, 然后在网上跟踪他们 !


You can just walk in their footsteps – just use the science of drafting.
你可以跟着他们的脚步走, 就像打草稿一样。

Follow what everyone else has done, because somebody is already doing it!
跟随其他已经做到的人, 因为别人已经办到了 !

So why don't you have what you want,when you have all the information that you need,you have the contacts that you need,there are probably free tools online that allow you to start a business,or join a group, or do whatever the heck you want!?
所以为什么你没有你想要的?当你有你需要的所有信息,你要有需要的门路,搞不好网络上有免费的工具 可以帮助你开创新的事业,或着加入一个团体, 或者做你想要做的任何事情!?

It all comes down to one word:F*©#.

总结一个字,就是:F*©#.


Shut the front door, you know what I'm talking about?
闭嘴,你知道我说什么吗?

The f-bomb. It's everywhere!
F-炸弹。它无处不在 !

You hear it all the time!
你总是听到它 !

I honestly don't understand what the appeal is of the word.
我真心不明白这词的魅力是什么。

I mean, you don't sound smart when you say it.
我是说,你说这词的时候 听起来又不聪明。

And it's really not expressing how you really feel.
它也不真的表达你真实的感受。

It's sort of a cheap shot to take.
它就像便宜的酒。

And of course you know I'm talking about the word "fine".
当然你知道我在说这个词:"fine"(很好)。

"How you doing?" "Oh, I'm fine."
"你好吗?哦,我挺好"。

Oh, really? You are?
哦,真的吗?你是吗?

Dragging around those extra forty pounds, you're fine?
拖着那多余的四十磅,你挺好?

Feeling like roommates with your spouse, and you're fine?
与你的配偶感觉像室友,你挺好?

You haven't had sex in four months, you're fine?
你四个月没做爱了,你挺好?

Really?!
真的?!

I don't think so!
我不这么觉得!

But see, here's the deal with saying that you're fine: It's actually genius.
不过,说你挺好的这事儿呢, 其实蛮天才的。

Because if you're fine, you don't have to do anything about it.
因为如果你挺好, 你不用再做任何改变。

But when you think about this word "fine", it just makes me so angry.
但当你思考一下“挺好”这个词, 它就是让我很生气。

Here we are at a conference about being alive,and you're going to describe the experience of being alive as "fine"?!
我们在这里谈论有关于活着的议题,然后你要描述活着的经验为"挺好"?!

What a flimsy and feeble word!
一个多么轻薄微弱的词啊 !

If you're crappy, say you're crappy!
如果你很糟糕,说你很糟糕 !

If you're amazing say you're amazing!
如果你很厉害,说你很厉害 !

Tell the truth!
说实话 !

And this not only goes for the social construct:
而这不只是用在社交场合:

"Oh, I don't want to burden you with the fact that I hate my life",
"喔,我不想用我讨厌我的人生来烦你",

or: "Hey, I'm amazing! But that would make you feel terrible."
或者:"嘿,我是很厉害 !但这会让你感觉很糟。”

The bigger issue –The bigger issue with "fine" is that you say it to yourself.
更大的问题是 — —"fine"(很好) 最大的问题是 你这么告诉你自己,

That thing that you want, I guarantee you,you've convinced yourself that you're fine not having it.
那个你想要的东西,我像你保证,你已经说服你自己, 没有它,也没关系了。

That's why you're not pushing yourself.
这就是为什么你不逼迫自己。

It's the areas in your life where you've given up.
这就是你在人生中放弃的地方,

Where you've said,"Oh, I'm fine. My mom's never going to change,so I just can't have that conversation."
当你说过,"哦,我挺好,我妈妈永远不会改,所以我不能谈那个"。

"I'm fine. We've got to wait until the kids graduate, before we get divorced,so we'll just sleep in separate bedrooms."
"我挺好。我们得等到孩子们毕业再离婚,所以我们就分房睡"。

"I'm fine. I lost my job, I can barely pay my bills,but whatever – It's hard to get a job."
"我挺好。我丢了我的工作, 几乎付不起账单,但不管了 — — 找到一份工作太难了"。

One of the reasons why this word also just annoys me so much is,scientists have calculated – Oh yeah, I'm coming down! (Laughter)
其中一个原因让我觉得那个字很烦人是,科学家们已经算出 — — 哦耶,我下来了 !(笑声)

Scientists have calculated the odds of you being born.
科学家们已经算出你们 被生下来的机率。

That's right. They've crunched the numbers. I see you up there.
没错。他们已经处理过了... 我看到上边的你了。

They've crunched the numbers on you – 
他们对你的出生机率 已经算出来了,

Yeah, you guys standing up, you want to sit down for this.

They've crunched the numbers on you being born.And they took into account all of the wars,and the natural disasters, and the dinosaurs,and everything else.
他们已经算出来你出生的机率。他们考虑了所有的战争和自然灾害,恐龙,和其他一切。

And do you realize that the odds, the odds of you,
你知不知道这个机率, 你出生的机率,

yeah, right here, put your computer away,
对,就这儿,收起你的计算机,

stand up for me, Doug! (Laughter)
给我站起来,道格 !(笑声)

So the odds of Doug here, turn around, say "hi" to everybody –
所以道格的机率, 转过来和大家说“嗨”

the odds of Doug being born at the moment in time he was born,
道格被生出来的机率在他出生的那一刻,

to the parents you were born to, with the DNA structure that you have,one in four hundred trillion!

when Roz was up here and talking about the emotion tracking,
当洛兹在这里谈论情感记录

and she had the picture of two sides of the brain –
她有个大脑两边的图片 — —

I look at the brain the exact same way.
我也是这样看待头脑的

Only I describe one side of your brain as autopilot

and the other side as emergency brake.
另一边是紧急煞车。

That's the only two speeds you get: autopilot, emergency brake.
你有的只有这两个速度:自动模式、 紧急剎车。

And guess which one your brain likes better: autopilot.
猜猜你的大脑较喜欢哪一边:自动模式。

You've had the experience where you've driven to work and you get there
你有过你开车去工作, 然后你到了那里,

and you're like, "Oh my God, I don't remember ever driving here."
你突然觉得"喔天哪, 我不记得我曾开车来过这里"。

(Laughter)
(笑声)

You weren't drunk! That was your brain on autopilot.
你没喝醉 !是你的大脑在自动模式。

It was functioning just at this level.
它就是在这个程度运作的。

And the problem with your mind is that anytime
你头脑的问题是,在任何时候

you do anything that's different from your normal routine,
你只要做任何异于平常做的事,

guess what your brain does — emergency brake!
猜猜你的大脑会做什么 — — 紧急剎车 !

And it has that reaction for everything. Everything!
并且它对一切都有这种反应。一切 !

You walk into the kitchen and see
你走进厨房,看到

everybody's left their breakfast dishes for you.
每个人都留了他们的 早餐盘要给你洗。

And you think for the hundredth time, "I'm going to kill them.
你有一百次想"我要杀了他们。

In fact I'm gonna leave it here and I'm going to make them do it."
实际上,我要把这些留在这里, 我要让他们来洗"

But that's not your normal routine, is it?
但是那不是你平常会做的事,对吗?

So your mind goes: emergency brake!
所以你的头脑立刻:紧急剎车 !

And you go right into autopilot.
然后你又回到自动模式。

"I'll just load it, and be pissed, and then not have sex.
"我就扛下来自己做, 然后自己气得要死,然后没性生活。

That's what I'm going to do." (Laughter) (Applause)
然后做到死,活该。"(笑声)(掌声)

So, when I say "force",
所以,当我说,"逼迫",

anything that's a break from your routine is going to require force.
任何不是你平常会做的事都需要逼迫。

And if you think about your life,
如果你想想看你的人生

it's kind of funny because we are kids and then we become adults,
其实还蛮好笑的,因为我们是小孩, 然后我们变成大人

你们大多数可能 已经上过心理学入门的课,

and you've bumped into Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs"?

If you're in your head, you're behind enemy lines.

In fact, if I put a speaker on it and we broadcast what you say to yourself,
事实上,如果我放个喇叭在上面, 然后广播一下你对自己说些什么,

we would institutionalize you. (Laughter)
我们会把你抓进精神病院去。(笑声)

You would not hang out with people that talk to you
