股神巴菲特給職業(yè)女性的3個(gè)建議

Facebook首席運(yùn)營(yíng)官雪莉桑德伯格出了一本書(shū)《Lean In》，巴菲特是該書(shū)的忠實(shí)粉絲。

It inspired his recent column in Fortune, where he wrote, "we've seen what can be accomplished when we use 50% of our human capacity. If you visualize what 100% can do, you'll join me as an unbridled optimist about America's future."

這本書(shū)激發(fā)了他在《財(cái)富》雜志中寫(xiě)了專欄，他寫(xiě)道，“我們已經(jīng)看到，當(dāng)我們發(fā)揮出我們?nèi)祟惸芰Φ?0%時(shí)，我們可以實(shí)現(xiàn)什么。你想象一下如果人類發(fā)揮100%的潛能去做事，對(duì)美國(guó)的未來(lái)，我們都將是樂(lè)天派。”

He spoke on gender issues again, this time during a live interview, "Office Hours With Warren Buffett," with career site Levo League, where he shared some great career advice for young women. Here are some of the best quotes from his talk:

他再一次論述了性別問(wèn)題，這一次是在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)采訪中，在“與巴菲特的辦公時(shí)間”職業(yè)網(wǎng)站Levo League里，他和年輕女性分享了很多好的職業(yè)建議。這里是一些他的談話語(yǔ)錄：

Stop holding yourself back

別退縮

"I've seen very, very bright women. I use the example of Katherine Graham. ... While she was CEO of The Washington Post, the stock went up [by a lot]. She won a Pulitzer Prize. But she'd been told by her mother, she'd been told by her husband, she'd been told by lots of people that women weren't as good as men in business. It was nonsense.

“我見(jiàn)過(guò)非常、非常聰明的女性。我以凱瑟琳·格雷厄姆為例。在她擔(dān)任《華盛頓郵報(bào)》首席執(zhí)行官一職時(shí)，股價(jià)上升(許多)。她贏得過(guò)普利策獎(jiǎng)。但她的母親告訴她，她的丈夫告訴她，很多人告訴她，在商界，女性沒(méi)有男性做的好。這是無(wú)稽之談。

"And I kept telling her, you know, 'Quit looking at that fun house mirror. You know, here's a real mirror. You're something.' And as smart as she was, as high grade as she was, you know, as famous as she became, right to her dying day, you know, she had that little voice inside her that kept repeating what her mother had told her a long time ago. So everybody should get a chance to live up to their potential. And women should not hold themselves back. And nobody should hold them back. And that's my message."

“我一直告訴她，‘不要看哈哈鏡。要看真實(shí)的反映。你會(huì)成功的。’她聰明、優(yōu)秀、有名，直到生命的盡頭，你知道的，她內(nèi)心有一個(gè)輕輕的聲音在不斷地重復(fù)她的母親很久以前告訴她的話。因而每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該擁有一次發(fā)揮他們潛力的機(jī)會(huì)。女人不應(yīng)該退縮。這就是我要說(shuō)的。”

Make yourself known

讓別人知道你

"[One woman] told me that she went to Harvard Business School. The women just didn't raise their hand as often as the men. I raise my hand all the time. When I didn't even deserve to. So you wanna get over the idea, as I wrote in the [Fortune] article [that] males — there's a lot of Wizard of Oz in us. I mean, you get behind the curtain and you'll find out that it wasn't quite that imposing."

“(有一個(gè)女人)告訴我她去了哈佛大學(xué)商學(xué)院。女人不像男人一樣經(jīng)常舉手。我總是舉手。即使在我不應(yīng)該舉手的時(shí)候。所以你要推翻這種觀念，我在《財(cái)富》上寫(xiě)了一篇關(guān)于男性的文章——在我們當(dāng)中有很多像奧茲國(guó)巫師一樣的男人。我的意思是，你站在幕后，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)它根本沒(méi)那么壯觀。”

Know the power of your potential

了解潛能的力量

"Look what's happened since 1776, most of the time, using half our talent. I mean just imagine what's gonna happen when we, you know — go full blast with 100%. And you know, it's incumbent on everybody to try and help people — particularly if you're in a boss's type position, to help the people achieve their potential. And women have every bit the potential men do."

“看看自1776年以來(lái)發(fā)生了什么事情，在大部分的時(shí)間里，我們只發(fā)揮了一半的才能。我的意思是想象一下當(dāng)我們發(fā)揮100%的潛能，那將會(huì)是怎樣一幅場(chǎng)景。每個(gè)人都有責(zé)任去幫助他人，尤其是當(dāng)你處在老板這樣的位子上，幫助人們實(shí)現(xiàn)他們的潛力。女人擁有和男人同樣的潛能。”
