Listen to your internal whisper, follow your intuition---斯皮尔伯格2016哈佛演讲

之前一篇是比尔盖茨在哈佛的演说,真的是由衷敬佩这样的人物及其胸怀格局。不过个人更喜欢斯皮尔伯格的这篇。很有意思也很有深度。这篇演讲的主题概括起来就是跟着你的直觉走,倾听你内心深处的声音。中间也着重说了些犹太人的事情。(斯皮尔伯格导演是犹太人,所以不可避免在其作品中可以寻找出犹太情节。代表作《辛德勒的名单》)

中间也隐晦调侃了川--普,(怕锁文……),以及耶鲁和哈佛之间的竞争。值得一读的演讲稿,演讲视频没有看,应该会更精彩。

书中触动的语句:

Well, I left college because I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and some of you know, too - but some of you don't. Or maybe you thought you knew but are now questioning that choice. Maybe you're sitting there trying to figure out how to tell your parents that you want to be a doctor and not a comedy writer.

知道你究竟要什么,是很多演讲稿经久不衰的主题之一。

Well, what you choose to do next is what we call in the movies the 'character-defining moment.'

角色定义时刻,是对需要角色走向最终选择的关键时刻。

Now in a two-hour movie, you get a handful of character-defining moments, but in real life, you face them every day. Life is one strong, long string of character-defining moments.

Because for the first 25 years of our lives, we are trained to listen to voices that are not our own. Parents and professors fill our heads with wisdom and information, and then employers and mentors take their place and explain how this world really works.

And usually these voices of authority make sense, but sometimes, doubt starts to creep into our heads and into our hearts. And even when we think, 'that's not quite how I see the world,' it's kind of easier to just to nod in agreement and go along, and for a while, I let that going along define my character. Because I was repressing my own point of view, because like in that Nilsson song, 'Everybody was talkin' at me, so I couldn't hear the echoes of my mind.'

权威的声音常常是有道理的,也会指引我们更快走向未来宽阔的大路上。但是,不要忽视自己的内心,当质疑和迷茫钻入脑海的时候,请认真寻觅自己的inner voice, 找寻思考的回声。

Your conscience shouts, 'here's what you should do,' while your intuition whispers, 'here's what you could do.' Listen to that voice that tells you what you could do. Nothing will define your character more than that.

My job is to create a world that lasts two hours. Your job is to create a world that lasts forever. You are the future innovators, motivators, leaders and caretakers.

因为个人对于电影算是热衷,所以对于斯皮尔伯格导演的作品多少有些涉猎。他的代表作基本都是可看,但我要坦诚《侏罗纪系列》《大白鲨》《辛德勒》我均没看过,前两部是因为胆小,后一部是因为太过沉重(包括马克赫曼的《穿条纹睡衣的男孩》也没看)。随意掰手指想了想,从哈里森福特主演的《夺宝奇兵》,到刚刚同步《圆梦巨人》,他的片子看过的真不少。

《幸福终点站》《逍遥法外/猫鼠游戏》《战马》都值得一看,《E.T.》个人并不推荐。
