商界大佬們最令人難忘的六大畢業(yè)典禮演講
????杰夫?貝佐斯,普林斯頓大學(xué),2010年 ????亞馬遜CEO杰夫?貝佐斯提到了祖父給他的一些忠告:“杰夫,總有一天你會明白,做一個善良的人,要比做一個聰明的人更加困難?!必愖羲咕娈厴I(yè)生們,創(chuàng)造力是一把雙刃劍,可能使人自滿,甚至導(dǎo)致更加糟糕的結(jié)果——令人自以為無所不知,他坦言自己也是在歷經(jīng)艱辛之后才明白了這個道理。 ????“聰明是一種天賦,而善良是一種選擇。天賦得來容易——畢竟,它們是與生俱來的,但選擇往往很困難。你們?nèi)绻粔蛑?jǐn)慎,就可能被自己的天賦所誤導(dǎo),一旦被誤導(dǎo),就可能危害你的選擇。” |
????Jeff Bezos, Princeton University, 2010 ????Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos related a hard bit of advice from his grandfather: “Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.” Bezos warned that the gift of creativity was a double-edged sword that could lead to complacency and worse, a know-it-all attitude, a lesson that he candidly admits he learned the hard way. ????“Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do, it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.” |
