It was a young man who wants to make a lot of money, so he went to this guru, right. This might be changed to "There was ...", ending in a question mark (?) instead of a full stop (.). And he told the guru that I want to be the same level you are. And so the guru said, “if you want to be on the same level I are , (this is not English at all!)I‘ll meet you tomorrow at the beach.” 看到这里已经不敢看下去了!因为这不是英文,而是英文词汇的堆砌!先消消气,再接着看吧。 So the young man got there 4am, he already to rock and roll, got on a suit, he should have wore shorts. The old man Graham said how bad you want to be successful. He said, real bad. He said, walk on out to the water. So he walks out to the water, watch this. He walks on out to the water, waist deep. So he likes, this guy’s crazy. I want to make money and he got me swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard, I want to make money. He got me in. He said come on a little further. He walk on out a little further. He had him right around this area, this delta area. So this old man’s crazy, he’s making money but he’s crazy. He said, come on out a little further and he came out further, he is right at his mouth. My man I am about to go back in here and this man is fine. So the old man said I thought, you say you want to be successful. He said I do and he said walk a little further and he came, drop his head in; held him down, hold him down. My man, he’s splashing, hold him down, he had him held down and, just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said, I got a question for you. He told the guy he said when you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful(当一个人渴望成功像渴望新鲜空气那样迫切的时候,定能获得成功) . I don’t know how many of you got asthma here today, but if you had an asthma attack before, you short of breath SOB, shortness of breath, you are wheezing, the only thing you’re trying to do is to get some air. You don’t care about no basketball game; you don’t care what’s on TV; you don’t care about nobody calling you; you don’t care about party. The only thing you care about when you are trying to breath is to get some fresh air, that’s it. And when you get to the point when all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful. And I am here to tell you number one, that most of you say that you want to be successful but you don’t want it bad. You just kinda want it. You don’t want it bad than you want to party. You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you love sleep more than you love success (大多数人对于成功的渴望不及参加Party的劲头来的大;似乎大家对成功的渴望还不及对睡觉的钟爱) . And I am here to tell you today, that if you’re going to be successful, you gotta be willing to give up sleep. You gotta be able to work off with 3 hour of sleep, 2 hours. If you really want to be successful, someday you will have to stay up 3 days in a row. Because if you go to sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That’s how bad you gotta want it. You gotta go days without, listen to me, you gotta want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat . Beyonce said once she was on the set doing her thing, 3 days had gone by, she forgot she didn’t eat cause she was engaged. I never forget when Fifty Cents was doing this movie, I did this little research on Fifty and Fifty said that when he wasn’t doing the movie, he was doing the soundtracks. And they said, when do you sleep, Fifty. Sleep, he says, sleep, sleep is for those people who are broke. I don’t sleep. Said, I got an opportunity to make a dream become a reality. Don’t try to quit. You are already in pain. You already hurt. Get a reward from it. Don’t go to sleep until you succeed. Listen to me, I am here to tell you today that you can come here, you can jump off, you can do flip, you can be excited when we give away money but listen to me; You will never be successful when I don’t have to give away a dime to do what you do. You won’t be successful until you said that I don’t need that money because I got it in here. PS: Where there is a will, there is a way. Just enjoy your way to succeed. It may be tough, disappointing,or even suffocating, but it does deserve your devotion. Go ahead, to chase your dreams, to make your own way to the destination. (我非常喜欢的一个故事,时常在行将浑浑噩噩时拿来自勉。与大家分享,共勉!) 如果非要用中文解释,则不过是“置之死地而后生”的意思而已。但是其英文,不论出自哪里,实在是不敢恭维,也就不恭维了。 连对都谈不上的英文,是不可能好的。不值得一读,不建议流传。愿意流传的,请便。
培养自己的“科研职业病” 四年前我还在北医读研。有一次从外科楼坐电梯下来,同在电梯里的还有一些病人,其中有一对夫妻和他们的朋友。男的头部受伤,头发剃光了,缠着纱布,还打着点滴。可能是因为纱布刺激皮肤发痒,他忍不住去揭纱布,被女的看到了,制止他说:你有毛病啊!旁边朋友笑着纠正她:他现在是没毛了(头发剃掉了),但是有病。众人忍俊不禁。 人们把那种遇到事情都与自己的职业联系起来,并用自己职业的思维方式和行为方式来处理非职业问题的习惯称为“职业病”。患有“职业病”的人,会“三句话不离本行”,常常在生活中闹出很多笑话。可是,“职业病”恰恰是一个人热爱本职工作从而走火入魔的表现。科研人员必须有“职业病”,因为它虽然是一种病,但不是“毛病”,而是“好病”。 “科研职业病”主要有两种表现。一是用科研的思维去分析日常问题,二是把日常生活中的所见所闻与科研联系起来。 “无证据,就怀疑”是科研思维的一个特点。一个患有“科研职业病”的人,不会轻易相信没有实验结果或者生活经验支持的论断。例如,最近我学养花,看到介绍说芦荟可以吸收室内甲醛。于是,我用 aloe (芦荟)和 formaldehyde (甲醛)为关键词,通过 google 学术检索,看是否有相关论文,结果没找到。因此,我就很怀疑芦荟可以吸收甲醛。同时还看到介绍说晚上不宜将花放在卧室,因为晚上植物光合作用停止,不再产生氧气,但是要进行呼吸作用消耗氧气,因而对人体有害。仔细一想,就觉得这个推理不可靠:小小的一盆花,能耗掉多少氧气?最大耗氧量也不过是把它烧掉的耗氧量,那又能有多少?更何况,卧室不是密闭的,可以和外界交换空气,又怎么会导致卧室内氧气明显含量降低呢?这样的论断,连实验都不用做就知道是不对的了。 沃森和克里克发现 DNA 双螺旋结构主要依靠的是 DNA 晶体衍射实验结果。如果他们患有严重的“科研职业病”,知道 DNA 是很长的线性分子,而且运气比较好的话,也许直接就可以推导出 DNA 的结构。当他们看到搓绳或者纺纱的时候,或许能够意识到:很长的纤维状物质易断,只有形成螺旋结构才能增强其稳定性。当他们看到细胞一分为二,动物的性别大多是雌雄两性,或者看到中国的太极图,接触到阴阳学说,应该不难体会到:三螺旋不对,双螺旋才是正确的。 患上“科研职业病”有很多好处。首先,它使科研与休息和娱乐结合起来,把大量的休息和娱乐时间变成了有效的科研时间,轻松高效地提高了科研水平。练过气功的人都知道,练功需要打坐、入静、冥想。这样的练功方法需要大量的时间。可是,有一种练气功的高级境界叫做“不练自练”,就是你根本不用打坐入静,功力就可以自动提高。想想看,就在你每天上上网、聊聊天、看看电影的时候,不经意间,你就打通了任督二脉,就有了几十年的内力,那该多好啊?最近有很多文章探讨科研人员每周工作多少时间的问题。其实我认为工作时间不重要,有效时间才重要。只要你患上了“科研职业病”,你就可以在打球时,在逛街时,在与家人相处时,在网上游荡时,在睡觉时,不由自主地、毫不费力地获得灵感,提高科研能力。很多伟大的科学家不一定是工作狂,但是却很好地把科研和日常生活融为一体了。 其次,是使自己更加热爱科研。人们总是对自己擅长的事情感兴趣,当通过“科研职业病”提高了科研能力之后,自然会更加热爱科研。当用科研思维去分析日常问题时,我们对日常生活的判断力和处理能力可以得到极大提高。这样的额外好处,也会使人更加热爱科研。 所以,我认为没有“职业病”的科研人员是不合格的科研人员,科研人员应该坚定不移地培养自己的“职业病”。当你病入膏肓之日,便是超凡入圣之时。
