视频: TED演讲集.2010.02.丝德茜·克莱默:我得过的最好礼物(演讲稿) Transcript Imagine, if you will, a gift. I'd like for you to picture it in your mind. It's not too big -- about the size of a golf ball. So envision what it looks like all wrapped up. But before I show you what's inside, I will tell you, it's going to do incredible things for you. It will bring all of your family together. You will feel loved and appreciated like never before and reconnect with friends and acquaintances you haven't heard from in years. Adoration and admiration will overwhelm you. It will recalibrate what's most important in your life. It will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith. You'll have a new understanding and trust in your body. You'll have unsurpassed vitality and energy. You'll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you'll have a healthier lifestyle. And get this, you'll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing. You'll eat countless gourmet meals. Flowers will arrive by the truckload. People will say to you, "You look great. Have you had any work done?" And you'll have a lifetime supply of good drugs. You'll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled. Your life will have new meaning. Peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana. The price? $55,000. And that's an incredible deal. By now I know you're dying to know what it is and where you can get one. Does Amazon carry it? Does it have the Apple logo on it? Is there a waiting list? Not likely. This gift came to me about five months ago. It looked more like this when it was all wrapped up -- not quite so pretty. And this. And then this. It was a rare gem, a brain tumor, hemangioblastoma, the gift that keeps on giving. And while I'm okay now, I wouldn't wish this gift for you. I'm not sure you'd want it. But I wouldn't change my experience. It profoundly altered my life in ways I didn't expect in all the ways I just shared with you. So the next time you're faced with something that's unexpected, unwanted and uncertain, consider that it just may be a gift. 请想象一份礼物,请你们在脑海中构想一下。不是很大 大概高尔夫球般大小,包装好大致是这个样子。在我揭开谜底之前,我先告诉你们这件礼物会有多么精妙的效果。它会使你合家团聚,你会感受到前所未有的爱与感激,与久未谋面的老友和旧识重聚,爱与赞美会充盈你身。你会重新检视何为生命中的要事,你会重新定义自己对精神和信仰的看法。,你对自己的身体也会有全新的认知和信任,你会拥有无与伦比的生命力和能量,你将拓展你的词汇量。结交新的朋友,并拥有更健康的生活方式。 当你得到这件礼物时,你将会有八个礼拜的假期,不需要做任何事情。你将享用无尽的佳肴,收到好几卡车的鲜花。人们会对你说,“你看起来气色真不错 完成什么了吗?”你还会得到终身的良药供给,你将面临挑战,被启发,被鼓舞,同时变得更谦虚。你的生命将被赋予新的意义,平和,健康,宁静,快乐,犹如涅槃。 礼物的价格呢?五万五千美金。真是桩好买卖。我知道你一定迫不及待地想知道这到底是什么?在那里可买到?亚马逊网站上有吗?是苹果公司的产品吗?要排队等货吗?都不对。 大概五个月前,我收到了这份礼物。包裹起来的话,大概是这个样子。没那么漂亮,之后是这个,还有这个。一个罕见的麻烦,一颗脑瘤,成血管细胞瘤。这礼物一直在影响着我,现在我已无大碍了。我不希望这份礼物降临于你,我不确定你是否想得到,但是我不渴望改变过去。它突如其来的彻底改变了我的生活,带来了以上所述的那些改变。所以下一次 当你面对意料之外的避之不及和前途未卜的事,不妨就把它看成一份礼物。谢谢! 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/b025eb47a32d7375a4178070.html
