Richard St. John: 8 secrets of success About this talk
Why do people succeed? Is it because they're smart? Or are they just lucky? Neither. Analyst Richard St. John condenses years of interviews into an unmissable 3-minute slideshow on the real secrets of success.
About Richard St. John
A self-described average guy who found success doing what he loved,
Richard St. John spent more than a decade researching the lessons of success -- and distilling them into 8 words, 3 minutes and one successful book. Transcript
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.
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.
something and get damn good at it." There's no magic, it's practice, practice, practice.

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."
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."

(Laughter)
So, the big -- the answer to this question 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!
人们为什么会成功吗？这是因为他们很聪明？或者他们只是幸运？既不。圣。约翰分析师李察凝聚多年的采访到一个不容错过的3分钟幻灯片上真正的成功秘诀。
自称是一个普通的人谁发现的成功做他爱做的事，李察圣。约翰花了十多年研究成功的经验教训——蒸馏成8字，3分钟和一个成功的书。
这真是一二小时的介绍我给高中学生，减少到三分钟。而这一切开始，有一天在一个平面，在我去泰德，七年前。在我旁边的位子上一个高中生，一个十几岁，她来自一个非常贫困的家庭。她想让她的生活，她问我一个简单的小问题。她说，“是什么导致成功？”我感觉很差，因为我不能给她一个好的答案。所以我走下飞机，我来泰德。我想，哎呀，我在一个房间中成功的人！那为什么我没有问他们什么，帮助他们成功，并把它传给孩子？所以我们在这里，七年，500次面试之后，我会告诉你什么是真正的使人成功，使ted-sters蜱。

和的第一件事就是激情。托马斯曼说，“我是由我的激情。”ted-sters不为爱，他们不给钱。卡洛克勒塔说，“我要付出别人做我做什么。”有趣的是，如果你是为爱而做，钱还是来了。
工作！鲁伯特默多克对我说，“这是艰苦的工作。什么是容易的。但我有许多乐趣。”他说好玩吗？鲁伯特？是的！ted-sters做有乐趣的工作。他们努力工作。我想，他们不是工作狂。他们workafrolics。
很好。亚历克斯说，“是成功的把你的鼻子在一些并获得太好了。”这里没有魔法，这是实践，实践，实践。
它的重点。诺尔曼·对我说，“我认为这一切都将自己集中于一件事”！
戴维说，“把自己。身体上，精神上，你要推，推，推。”你必须把通过羞怯和疑虑。戈尔迪霍恩说，“我总是怀疑。我还不够好，我没那么聪明。我不认为我会。”现在，它并不总是容易把自己，这就是为什么他们发明的母亲。（笑声）盖里——法兰克盖瑞说，“我的母亲把我推。”！
舍温努兰说，“这是一个荣幸地担任医生。”现在很多孩子告诉我他们想成为百万富翁。和我首先对他们说，“好的，你不能自己，你必须为其他有价值的东西。因为这样的人真的发财思想。”。
ted-ster比尔盖茨说，“我有一个想法——成立第一微型计算机的软件公司。”我会说这是一个不错的主意。有没有魔术创意想出创意，它只会做一些很简单的东西。我给很多的证据。
坚持。乔克劳斯说，“持续的最主要原因是我们的成功。”你必须坚持通过失败。你必须坚持通过垃圾！这当然是“批评，拒绝，混蛋和压力。”（笑声）
所以，大——对这个问题的答案很简单：付4000美元来泰德。或者，做八件事情——相信我，这些是八大的事情，导致成功。
谢谢你ted-sters你所有的访谈！www.shanpow.com_成功的秘诀英语演讲。

【二】:TED演讲：成功的秘诀
成功的钥匙
When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting, for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh grades math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests, i gave out homework assignments. When the work came back, I calculated grades. What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students, some of my strongest performers did not have stratospheric I.Q. Scores, some of my smartest kids weren’t doing so well. And that got me thinking, the kinds of things you need to learn in seventh grade math, sure, they’re hard: ratios, decimals, the area of a parallelogram, but these concepts are not impossible. And I was firmly convinced that every one of my students could learn material if they worked hard and long enough。
在我27岁的时候，我辞去了一份非常有挑战性的职业-企业管理咨询，转而投入了一份更加具有挑战性的职业：教育。我来到纽约的一些公立学校教七年级学生数学，和别的老师一样，我会给同学们做小测试和考试，我会给他们布置家庭作业。当这些试卷和作业收上来之后，我计算了他们的成绩，让我震惊的是，I.Q的高低并不是我最好的和最差的学生之间唯一的差别，一些在课业上表现很好的学生并不具有非常高的IQ分数， 一些聪明的孩子反而在课业上表现的不那么尽如人意，这引起了我的思考。当然，学生们在七年级需要学习的东西，是有难度的，像比率，小数，平行四边形的面积计算，但是这些概念是完全可以掌握的，我坚信我的每一位学生都可以学会教材内容，只要他们肯花时间和精力的话。
After several more years of teaching, I came to the conclusion that what we need in education is a much better understanding of students and learning from a motivational perspective, from a psychological perspective. In education, the one thing we know how to measure best is I.Q., but what if doing well in school and in life, depends on much more than your ability to learn quickly and easily? So I left classroom, and I went to graduate school to become a psychologist. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of super challenging settings, and in every study my question was who is successful here and why. My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy, we try to predict which cadets would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Bee, and tried to predict which children would advance farthest in competition. We studied rookie teachers in really tough neighborhoods, asking which teachers are still going to be here in teaching by the end of the school year. And of those, who will be the most effective at improving learning outcomes for their students. We partnered with private companies, asking which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs, and who’s going to earn the most money?
经过几年教学之后，我得出一个结论，我们在教育方面需要做的是从学习动力的角度和心理学的角度对学生和学习行为，进行一次更为深刻的理解。在教育系统中，我们都知道评价优秀学生的标准就是IQ，但如果在学校和生活中的优秀表现远不仅仅依赖于你轻松高效的学习能力呢？所以我离开了讲台，回到学校继续心理学硕士学位。我开始研究，孩子和大人在各种具有挑战性的情况下以及
在各项研究中，我的问题是谁才是成功者，为什么他们会成功？我和我的研究团队前往西点军校展开调研，我们试图预测哪些学员能够耐得住军队的训练，哪些会被淘汰出局。我们前去观摩全国拼字比赛，同时也试着预测哪些孩子会晋级到最后的比赛。我们研究，在恶劣的环境下工作的，刚入行的老师，询问他们哪些老师会在学年结束后继续留下来任教。以及他们之中谁能最快地提高学生的学习成绩。我们与私企合作，向他们询问哪些销售人员可以保住工作，哪些赚钱更多？
In all those very different contexts, one characteristic emerged, as a significant predictor of success, and it wasn’t social intelligence, it wasn’t good looks, physical health, and it wasn’t I.Q., it was grit. Grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is having stamina, grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out. Not just for the week, not just for the month, but for years and working really hard to make that future a reality. Grit is living life like it’s a marathon, not a sprint. A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school junior to take grit questionnaires, and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate, turns out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, things like family incomes, standardized achievement test scores, even how safe kids felt when they were at school. So it’s not just at West Point or the National Spelling Bee that grit matters, it’s also in school, especially for kids at risk for dropping out. To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, how little science knows about building it.
在所有那些不同的环境下，一种性格特征凸显了出来，这种特征很大程度上预示了成功，而且他并不是社交智力，不是漂亮的外表，强健的体魄，也不是很高的I.Q.，它是毅力。毅力是对长远目标的激情和坚持，毅力是拥有持久的恒劲，毅力是你对未来的坚持，日复一日，不是仅仅持续一个星期或者一个月，而是几年甚至几十年努力奋斗着，让自己的梦想变为现实。毅力把生活当成一场马拉松而不是一场短跑。几年前，在芝加哥的公立学校里开始研究毅力，我对上千名初中生进行了关于毅力的问卷调查，然后等候了一年多来看最终哪些学生能毕业结果证明那些更具毅力的学生在毕业的概率上占绝对优势，即使是在同样可以量化的外在因素下，像家庭收入，标准化成绩测验的分数，甚至是孩子们在学校能获得多少安全感之类，仍是有毅力的学生更容易毕业，所有不仅仅是在西点军校里或者全国拼字比赛上才需要毅力，在学校亦是如此，尤其是对于那些徘徊在辍学边缘的孩子们。对我来说，关于毅力最让我震惊的事情莫过于对于毅力，我们知之甚少，在培养毅力上，科学对理解的认识又是何等贫乏。
Every day, parents and teachers ask me “how do i build grit in kids?” What do I do to teach kids a solid work ethic, how do i keep them motivated for the long run? The honest answer is, I don’t know. What I do know is that talent doesn’t make you gritty. Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitments. In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated, or even inversely related to measure of talent. So far, the best idea I’ve heard about building grit in kids is something called “growth mindset”. This is an idea developed at Stanford University by Carol Dweck, and it is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort , Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to
challenge, they’re much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don’t believe that failure is a permanent condition. So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit, but we need more, and that’s where I’m going to end my remarks, because that’s where we are, that’s the work that stands before us.We need to take our best ideas, our strongest intuitions, and we need to test them. We need to measure whether we’ve been successful, and we have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned. In other words, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. Thank you!
每天都有家长和老师来问我“我怎样做才能培养孩子的毅力呢”该做些什么才能教授给孩子们真正的职业道德，我又该怎样调动他们长期的积极性呢？老实说，我不知道。我所知道的是，才华并不能使你坚韧不拔，我们的数据十分清楚的表明，有许多才华横溢的人，他们都无法坚持兑现自己的承诺。事实上，根据我们的数据来看，毅力通常与其他因素无关，甚至与才华的衡量标准背道而驰。到目前为止，我所听说过得在孩子身上培养坚忍品质最有效的方法，叫“成长型思维模式”。斯坦福大学卡洛杜威克提出过一个观点，他相信人的学习能力是可变的，他随着你的努力程度而变化。杜威克教授表示，当孩子们阅读和学习有关大脑的知识，以及它在面对挑战时所发生的变化和成长情况，他们失败之后更容易坚持下去，因为他们不相信一直失败下去，因此，成长性思维模式对培养毅力大有裨益。但是我们需要更多，我决定在次结束我的评论，因为我们正在经历这一切，这是眼前所面临的工作，我们要拿出最好的想法和最强的直觉。我们要对他们进行实践，我们需要估量这一切是否成功，同时还要渴望面对失败和错误，要从这些失败中汲取教训经验重新再来，换句话说，我们只有自己变得更加有毅力才能让我们的孩子变得更有毅力，谢谢大家。
【三】:成功的定义 英语演讲
My Definition of Success
“Once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. To all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. One day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." Well, you know the rest. The three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.And the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "And they live happily every after."
Why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, I would say, so unimaginative? How can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? Because, I think, it is a typical success story. It is highly philosophical and symbolic. By implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
The story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. The reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. If a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. The term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. But as I understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. To clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
Let us return to our handsome young prince and the 4-step definition of success. You my have noticed that the usual worldly criteria of wealth, position and fame were not mentioned as part of the story, but rather, it emphasized the process of overcoming difficulties. The ancient wisdom had already defined the meaning of success, and this is my definition, too.
Thank you.
My definition of success
Today I am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. What is success? It is what everyone is longing for.Sometimes success would be rather simple. Winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now I am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.
However, as a person’s whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. Is fortune success? Is fame success? Is high social status success? No, I don’t think so. I believe success is the realization of people’s hopes and ideals.Nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. And the most obvious characteristics of hem are money, high position and luxurious life. So most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. But the problem is wether it is real success. We all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. If we keep chasing them, where is the end? What will satisfy us at last? Therefore, we can see, to get the real Success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people’ hopes and ideals.
Different people have different ideas about success; cause people’s hopes and ideas vary from one another. But I am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. These are the best treasures. So now I am very proud that I have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. It is my success, cause I raise up to challenge my hope.
What is success? Everyone has his own interpretation as II do. But I am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. So ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life! Wish you all good success!

Is your definition of success a fatal mistake?
For some, success is defined in terms of the dollar amount on a paycheck. For others, it's the title on their business card. Others may define success in terms of the accolades and awards they have won.
But the problem with how people define success these days is that when they're forced to change it, they can't. Look at the businessmen who have committed suicide because they have lost fortunes. Consider the workers who are fired and then go back to work, armed with a gun.
Extreme cases, sure. Not everyone considers killing themselves or others when their livelihood is threatened. But it does point out that maybe we need to revisit our own definition of success.
Start by completing this definition: "Success to me is…"
After you complete this sentence, then review it and determine if you're on the path to achieving that success. If you were to lose your job or money tomorrow, would your definition of success still be valid? Or, would you consider yourself a failure?
I remember a job where I worked long, stressful hours and often labored for a boss who had mood swings like a freaking roller coaster. It made for a tense situation, to say the least. One day I w
