Today represents a transition from the world of preparation into the real world of contribution. I feel it is the appropriate time for me to leave with you (today's students) a few messages, based on my own experience, which might help you in your quest for success in your life.ui
今天對大家是個轉折點,從準備奉獻的世界邁入真正奉獻的世界。我感受告訴大家(今天的學生)幾點啓示適逢其時,這些啓示基於個人經驗, 也許有助於大家追求成功的生活。this
The first message is that hard work is the most critical ingredient of success. If you wish to succeed in your profession in future, you will have to work only harder. Your peers will bring in similar credentials. The only way you can move ahead is by unstinting hard work.spa
第一條啓示,苦幹對成功相當重要。若你想未來事業成功,你必須苦幹。同輩們也有相似證書,只有拼命苦幹,你才能不斷前進。.net
There is no debate between whether you need to work smarter or harder. You have to work both smarter and harder. If Wipro has come out on top, compared to a number of other blue chips of yesteryears, it is not because of extraordinary ability or resources, but by the sheer dint of hard work.
你要巧幹或苦幹,無需爭論,你必須巧幹加苦幹。若是維普羅公司在往年領先於衆多的其它績優股,不是由於非凡的才幹或資源,而是完全的苦幹。
I personally put in a 90-hour workweek. Any future leader who is not prepared to put in this scorching pace of work will be left behind.
我我的提出90小時的工做周。任何將來領導者,若不許備如此狂熱地工做,必定會被別人超過。
The second thought I wish to share with you is that hard work must be towards a purpose. You have to identify a purpose that inspires you, challenges you and gives you tremendous satisfaction to pursue. Once you identify your purpose, that permeates to your very being, you will be propelled by restless intensity towards achieving it. Then, you can work with a single-minded, determined, unwavering perseverance.
想與大家分享的第二個想法,是苦幹必須有目標。你要確立一個目標來追求,它能激發你的潛能,向你提出挑戰,還能給你巨大的知足。一旦你確立了目標,瀰漫你全身,不竭的熱情將驅使你去實現目標。而後,你就能誠實、堅定、堅決不移地工做。
When I returned from Stanford more than three decades back, Wipro was a small organization located in Amalner, a tiny hamlet in Jalgaon district. I was suddenly propelled into a role for which I had little preparation.
三十多年前,當我從斯坦福返回印度時,維普羅仍是一個小組織,位於Jalgaon區的小村落Amalner。陡然讓我承擔一個我毫無準備的職位。
Initially, I found the prospect fairly daunting.
最初,我發現前景至關使人畏縮。
Then I realized that this enormous challenge brought with it an enormous opportunity. An opportunity to create a very different kind of organization based on values. It took a tremendous amount of effort to reach where we have reached today. But if I had not been completely fired by the vision that kept me going during difficult times, I do not know if I could have kept up the relentless work that was necessary.
而後,我意識到巨大的挑戰帶來巨大的機會。這是一個機會,基於估價創立不一樣的組織。通過巨大的努力,取得目前的成就。但若是我沒被遠見徹底點燃讓我挺過艱難時期,我不知我是否能堅持作好那些必要的持續的工做。
The third message is that do not ever stop learning. The greatest benefit of engineering is that is teaches you the discipline of process thinking as applied to real life problems. Given the rapid changes in technology and myriad business situations that throw up new and different avenues to apply your knowledge, you have to constantly keep learning.
第三條啓示,千萬別中止學習。作工程的最大益處,在於教你思考過程的原理,也可用於實際的生活問題。技術的飛速發展,無數的商業環境,給你全新、不一樣的途徑應用你的知識,爲此,你必須鍥而不捨地學習。
What is important is not your existing knowledge alone, but your ability to keep refreshing it dynamically. You have learnt to learn. But the zest to use this ability on an ongoing basis must come from within you.
重要的不是你擁有的知識,而是你動態更新知識的能力。你學會了如何學習。但應用這種能力的熱情,必定要來自你的心裏。
The fourth message is that do not wait for opportunity to come your way. Actively search for opportunities and grab them when you see them. Long ago, I learnt that the future is not what happens to you, but what you make of it.
第四條啓示,不要守株待兔。積極尋找機會,一旦看見就把握住。好久之前我就明白了,將來不是你身上發生的東西,而是你創造出的東西。
I have heard of young achievers lamenting the lack of opportunity in our country that drives them to seek jobs overseas. You can create your own opportunity and our country can offer whatever you want in life, provided you do your bit.
我據說年輕實現者悲嘆國內機會的匱乏驅使他們到海外尋找工做。大家能創造機會,假若大家盡點力,我國也能提供大家生活中想要的一切。
When I look back, I realize that Wipro was not blessed with the abundance of resources like the multinational corporations. What accounted for its success was its integrity, unshakable self-confidence, determination and effort to better global competition, relentless work towards achieving this and its ability to acquire world class processes, develop world class teams and attract world class leadership.
回顧往昔,我意識到維普羅並不是像跨國公司同樣因爲資源豐富而受到祝福。維普羅的成功緣於它的誠實、堅決的自信,決心,改善全球競爭的努力, 爲實現目標而持續的工做,以及得到世界級工序、發展世界級團隊、吸引世界班級領導的能力。
I hope you will be able to apply my messages in your lives for success and satisfaction.
我但願,大家將這些啓示應用於大家的生活,追求大家人生的成功和知足。
I look forward with hope and expectation that you will utilize your talent in shaping the destiny of your profession and our nation.
我滿懷但願與期待,盼望着大家施展才華,塑造大家的事業以及我國的命運。
