1、ted 演講稿 4 篇last year when i was here, i was speaking to you about a swim which i did across the north pole. 去年，當(dāng)我站在這里的時候，我在談?wù)撐覚M跨北極的游泳。and while that swim took place three years ago, i can remember it as if it was yesterday那還是發(fā)生在3年前，對我則好像是昨天一般。i remember standing on the edge of the ice, about to dive

2、 into the water, and thinking to myself, i have never ever seen any place on this earth which is just so frightening.我還記得我站在冰層的邊緣，就要扎進(jìn)水里，然后我自己想到，我再也再也不要看到地球上的這個地方，這里是如此的讓人恐懼。the water is completely black.the water is minus 1.7 degrees centigrade, or 29 degrees fahrenheit.it's flipping freezi

3、ng in that water.那里的水是全黑色。水的溫度是負(fù)1.7攝氏度，華氏 29度。那水里就是翻動的冰塊。and then a thought came across my mind: if things go pear-shaped on this swim, how long will it take for my frozen body to sink the four and a half kilometers to the bottom of the ocean?然后一個念頭在我腦中劃過：如果這場泳出了點問題，我這冰凍的身體要花多長時間才能沉到這4500 米的底部呢?and

4、then i said to myself, i've just got to get this thought out of my mind as quickly as possible然后我告誡我自己，我要把這個念頭盡快的拋在我的腦后。and the only way i can dive into that freezing cold water and swim a kilometer is by listening to my ipod and really revving myself up能讓我扎入 這冰冷的水里 然 后游了 4千米的唯一方法就是 聽著我的ipod

5、,讓我自己全力運轉(zhuǎn)起來，listening to everything from beautiful opera all the way across to puff daddy, and then committing myself a hundred percent - there is nothing more powerful than the made-up mind -and then walking up to the edge of the ice and just diving into the water.我聽了所有的歌，從華麗的歌劇到吹牛老爹，然后全身心的投入沒有什么比下

6、定決心還要厲害的-然后走到冰的邊緣扎入水里。and that swim took me 18 minutes and 50 seconds, and it felt like 18 day這次游泳花了我18 分 50 秒， 但好像是18 天一樣。and i remember getting out of the water and my hands feeling so painful and looking down at my fingers, and my fingers were literally the size of sausages because - you know, we

7、're made partially of water - when water freezes it expands, and so the cells in my fingers had frozen and expandedand burst.我記得當(dāng)我從水里出來時我的手時如此的疼痛然后我看著我的手指，我的手指真的像香腸一樣粗，因為-你們知道了，我們身體一部分由水組成- 當(dāng)水結(jié)冰時會膨脹，這樣我手指的里細(xì)胞就冷凍了，膨脹了炸裂了。and the mostimmediate thought when i came out of that water was the foll

8、owing: i'm never, ever going to do another cold water swim in my life again我從水里上岸的瞬間的 想法 時這樣的：我一生中再也再也不要去在冰冷的水里游泳了。anyway, last year, i heard about the himalayas and the melting of the - (laughter) and the melting of the glaciers because of climate changed這樣，去年，我聽至U了 喜馬拉雅山以及那里融化的-(笑 ) 因為氣候變化

11、s quickly as it is, and with the water supply from these glaciers - because of climate change -decreasing so much, i think we have a real risk of instability而世界人口照這個速度發(fā)展下去， 而冰川水源的提供 - 由于氣候的變化-下降的如此之快，我像我們就有了一個十分不穩(wěn)定的威脅。north, you've got china; south, you've india, pakistan, bangladesh

12、, allthese countries.北方，我們由中國；南方，我們有印度，巴基斯坦，孟加拉，和其它所有國家。and so i decided to walk up to mt. everest, the highest mountain on this earth, and go and do a symbolic swim underneath the summit of mt. everestii 樣我決定 了 登上珠峰，地球上的最高峰，如何在珠峰下游一次具有象征意義的泳。now, i don't know if any of you have had the oppo

32、efore i do anything, i ask myself what type of mindset do i require to successfully complete a task相同的， 現(xiàn)在，在我做一件事情之前， 我 問到我自己，我需要怎樣的一種態(tài)度才能成功的完成我的任務(wù)。and taking that into the world of climate change - which is, frankly, the mt. everest of all problems - just because we've lived the way we have

33、 lived for so long,just because we have consumed the way we have for so long and populated the earth the way we have for so long, doesn't mean that we can carry on the way we are carrying on然后這樣來想一想氣候變化，那是，說實話，珠峰和其他所有的問題 - 不能因為我們已經(jīng)像這樣生活了這么長時間，不能因為我們已經(jīng)像這樣消費了那么長時間不能因為我們像這樣人口增長了這么長時間，就意味著我們可以這樣

34、像以往一樣堅持下去。the warning signs are all there 警告信號就在那。when i was born, the world's population was 3.5 billion people.當(dāng)我出生時，世界的人口只有 35 億。we're now 6.8 billion people, and we're expected to be 9 billion people by 2050.現(xiàn)在有68 億 然后我們預(yù)計在2050 年有 90億。and then the second lesson, the radic

37、ndred percent to doing it.如何下定決心去做。blog about it, tweet about it, talk about it, and commit a hundred percent, because very, very few things are impossible to achieve if we really put our whole minds to it.些關(guān)于這些變化的博客，微博，談?wù)撘幌?，然后全身心投入。因為如果我們?nèi)硇耐度?，只有很少事情是不可能的。so thank you very, very much所以，十分感謝你們。TED英語

38、演講稿：如何讓選擇更容易ted演講稿（2） |返回目錄簡介： 面對商場里五花八門的商品，你的選擇恐懼癥又犯了嗎? 美國哥倫比亞大學(xué)商學(xué)教授sheena iyengar研究如何讓你在做選擇時更容易。為了讓你的選 擇省時省力，商家又會有哪些訣竅呢?do you know how many choices you make in a typical day? do you know how many choices you make in typical week? i recently did a survey with over 2,000 americans, and the average

39、number of choices that the typical american reports making is about 70 in a typical day. there was also recently a study done with ceos in which they followed ceos around for a whole week. and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these ceos engaged in and how much time they

40、spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks. and they found that the average ceo engaged in about 139 tasks in a week. each task was made up of many, many, many sub-choices of course. 50 percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less. only about 12 percent of the decision

41、s did they make an hour or more of their time. think about your own choices. do you know how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category? how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices?today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern da

42、y choosing problems that we have, which is the choice overload problem. i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions. now as i talk about this problem, i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers. so when i ask you a question,

43、since i'm blind, only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories. (laughter) otherwise, when i ask you a question, and if your answer is yes, i'd like you to clap your hands. so for my first question for you today: are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload probl

44、em? (applause) thank you.so when i was a graduate student at stanford university, i used to go to this very, very upscale grocery store; at least at that time it was truly upscale. it was a store called draeger's. now this store, it was almost like going to an amusement park. they had 250 di

45、fferent kinds of mustards and vinegars and over 500 different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water -and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water. i used to love going to this store, but on one occasion i asked myself, well how

46、 come you never buy anything? here's their olive oil aisle. they had over 75 different kinds of olive oil, including those that were in a locked case that came from thousand-year-old olive trees.so i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager, and i asked the manager, "is this model

47、of offering people all this choice really working?" and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday, with cameras ready usually. we decided to do a little experiment, and we picked jam for our experiment. here's their jam aisle. they had 348 different kinds of jam

48、. we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store. we there put out six different flavors of jam or 24 different flavors of jam, and we looked at two things: first, in which case were people more likely to stop, sample some jam? more people stopped when there were 24, about 60

49、percent, than when there were six, about 40 percent. the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. now we see the opposite effect. of the people who stopped when there were 24, only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. of the people who stop

50、ped when there were six, well now we saw that 30 percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. now if you do the math, people were at least six times more likely to buy a jar of jam if they encountered six than if they encountered 24.now choosing not to buy a jar of jam is probably good for us - at

51、least it's good for our waistlines - but it turns out that this choice overload problem affects us even in very consequential decisions. we choose not to choose, even when it goes against our best self-interests. so now for the topic of today: financial savings. now i'm going to desc

52、ribe to you a study i did with gur huberman, emir kamenica, wei jang where we looked at the retirement savings decisions of nearly a million americans from about 650 plans all in the u.s. and what we looked at was whether the number of fund offerings available in a retirement savings plan, the 401(k

53、) plan, does that affect people's likelihood to save more for tomorrow. and what we found was that indeed there was a correlation. so in these plans, we had about 657 plans that ranged from offering people anywhere from two to 59 different fund offerings. and what we found was that, the more

54、 funds offered, indeed, there was less participation rate.so if you look at the extremes, those plans that offered you two funds, participation rates were around in the mid-70s - still not as high as we want it to be. in those plans that offered nearly 60 funds, participation rates have now dropped

55、to about the 60th percentile. now it turns out that even if you do choose to participate when there are more choices present, even then, it has negative consequences. so for those people who did choose to participate, the more choices available, the more likely people were to completely avoid stocks

56、 or equity funds. the more choices available, the more likely they were to put all their money in pure money market accounts. now neither of these extreme decisions are the kinds of decisions that any of us would recommend for people when you're considering their future financial well-being.

57、well, over the past decade, we have observed three main negative consequences to offering people more and more choices. they're more likely to delay choosing - procrastinate even when it goes against their best self-interest. they're more likely to make worse choices - worse financia

58、l choices, medical choices. they're more likely to choose things that make them less satisfied,even when they do objectively better. the main reason for this is because, we might enjoy gazing at those giant walls of mayonnaises, mustards, vinegars, jams, but we can't actually do the

59、math of comparing and contrasting and actually picking from that stunning display. so what i want to propose to you today are four simple techniques - techniques that we have tested in one way or another in different research venues - that you can easily apply in your businesses.the first: cut. you've heard it said before, but it's never been more true than today, that less is more. people are always upset when i say, "cut." they're
