好的,下午好,董事长先生,还有副董事长先生。

Yes, good afternoon, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Vice Chairman.

我叫 Hudson Zhu,我原本来自中国,现在住在 Kansas。

My name is Hudson Zhu and originally from China and I'm living in Kansas.

很荣幸能和二位讲话。

And it's my honor to speak to you both.

我的问题是,如果有人想成立一家公司,去做你们三四十年前做的那种事情,你们会给他们什么建议?也愿不愿意跟我们分享一些你们的智慧?

My question is, if someone would like to form a company doing what you did 30 or 40 years ago, what is your suggestion to them and would you share some of your wisdom with us?

谢谢。

Thank you.

我们首先会建议他们给我们寄版税,不过—— Charlie,这个你来回答吧。

First thing we'd suggest, they send us a royalty, but— Charlie, you take over on that one.

关于重新开始这件事,你想得比我多。

You've thought more about starting over again than I have.

我想坦率地说,这类问题我通常都会回避。

I want to frankly say that that's a question I ordinarily duck.

我一直相信,先把那些最根本的思维工具建立起来。

I always believe in getting the fundamental mental tools in place.

而且我一直相信,要用这些可靠理念作为过滤器,去处理进入你眼前的现实;最好是通过报纸之类的方式,间接地学习,而不是靠自己亲身经历那些痛苦的教训。

And I always believe in, in running reality as it comes in, preferably vicariously through the newspaper, etc., instead of through personal painful experience, through the filter of these sound ideas.

我不光觉得这样做在人生里能带来成功,我还觉得这样会让生活更有意思。

And I not only think that that works in life to create success, I think it makes life more fun.

所以,我主张健全的思考方式;但要怎么把你自己变成另一个 Warren Buffett,那些特别具体的技巧,我就留给你自己去琢磨了。

So, I argue for sound thinking, but the exact specific techniques of turning yourself into another Warren Buffett, I leave to you.

嗯,我会给的一条建议是——第一,我觉得外面机会多得很,而且我会去做自己喜欢的事。

Well, the one thing I would advise is I would be— A, I think there's a ton of opportunity out there, and I would do something I enjoyed.

我不会因为觉得它将来会把我带到一种我以后才会喜欢的生活,就去做某件事;也不会因为觉得自己赚了很多钱就会快乐得多,或者诸如此类的原因去做。

I wouldn't do something because I thought it was going to get me to a life I was going to enjoy later on, or because if I made a lot of money, I was going to be a lot happier, or anything like that.

我从来没这么做过。而且我觉得,你做自己喜欢的事会做得更好。我也觉得,人生里去忍受一大堆——我的意思不是—— Charlie 和我以前都在 grocery store 工作过。

I've never done that, and I think that you will do well in what you enjoy, and I think it's crazy in life to endure a whole lot that— I don't mean— Charlie and I worked in a grocery store.

我们也不是一直都为那件事兴奋得跳起来,但要说认真投入到一种生意里,而你做这件事唯一的原因只是为了钱——

We didn't really jump up and down over it all the time, but in terms of making a commitment to, uh, to really be in a business that only— you're only in it for the money.

我觉得那太荒唐了。

I think that's crazy.

如果我们做这个只是为了钱,那你知道,很明显我们早就不干了。

If we were in this only for the money, you know, we'd have quit a long time ago, obviously.

就是——你会希望——你在做的过程中就应该有乐趣。

And it just— you want— you ought to have fun while you're doing it.

不应该是明天才有果酱,今天却没有果酱。

It should not be jam tomorrow and not jam today.

这在我看来根本说不通。

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

而且我觉得,那样做你也会得到更好的结果。

And I think you'll get better results that way too.
