2B迈向牛B之路———记首次英文演讲

On the way from zero to hero

2B迈向牛B之路

I had a dream:to surpass a classmate of mine —Tsai, but I never thought of surpassing  him in high school, since  I was the first and he was top 10. I got into a famous university while he got into an ordinary institute. Then after graduation,I became a civil servant, while he worked in a factory.

曾经,我有一个梦想--超越蔡--我的中学同学。

上中学时我没想超越他,因为我是第一名,他是前10名。我上了名牌大学,他上了普通大专。毕业后,我成为公务员,他在工厂工作。

After three years’ work, he came to ask me if I would like to join him and build our own business, but I refused. Only 2 years later,he’d succeeded: he drove a beautiful car to see me while I rode my bicycle . During our classmates gatherings, he payed the bill. Everyone admired him instead of me.

From then on, I had the dream to surpass him.

没几年,他来找我,别当公务员了,跟我下海吧,我不以为然,可没过二年,他开上了豪华轿车,常住金陵饭店,而我在骑自行车。特别是同学聚会,买单的是他,大家尊敬的是他而不再是我。

从那以后,超越他成为我的梦想。

How though,could an ordinary person surpass a millionaire? No money, no background. I only knew how to change my destiny through learning. So I got my master degree at Southeast University in Computer Science.

一个普通的公务员如何超越一个百万富翁?没资金,没背景,

我只知道读书改变命运。在东南大学我获得计算机硕士学位。

I went to ShenZhen and got a great job,the salary was tenfold of the salary before.

我辞掉我的公务员工作,去深圳寻找机会,在一家大珠宝公司找到一份好工作,工资是原来的十倍。

I came back in Spring festival, with confidence I planned to treat Tsai for a cup of tea in Jin Ling Hotel, but he brought a dozen of classmates with him to dinner, I began to worry since it might have ended up spending a month on them. As usual, he paid it all.  I knew he’d gotten richer again, and the gap between us became bigger still.

过年回来,我信心满满请蔡去金陵饭店喝茶,可他带来了一桌的同学吃饭,我很紧张,我猜想那可能要花我一个月的工资,买单的依然是他,我知道他更加富有,和他的差距更大了。

What could I do next? I had studied hard, worked hard and did my best, but despite that it seemed that I wouldn’t be able to surpass him.

下一步我该怎么办?我努力学习,努力工作,一直竭尽全力,似乎我永远也超越不了他。

One day, a friend gave me a call: “Are you interest in meeting a billionaire?”,”Billionaire? Really? Of course,I am!”. It was fascinating to meet a billionaire face-to-face.

有一天,一个同学打电话问我,“有没有兴趣见亿万富翁?”,“亿万富翁?真的假的?当然要见!”,我从没见过亿万富翁,非常好奇,这些亿万富翁怎么做到的。太幸运了!面对面见到了亿万富翁。

“Why are there so many intelligent poor people all over the world?. What’s the biggest difference between the poor and the rich?". I've never heard before this questions he asked me.

In one morning,I've got more from his words than all my personal reading over the ten years prior.

“为什么世界上到处都是聪明的穷人?,富人和穷人的最大差别是什么?”,他问我的问题我从没听过。太奇妙了,只是一个上午,胜读十年书。

From then on, I caught every chance to follow him. Consequently ,he guided me to build my own business.

My life then went through a period of transition.

从那以后,我追随他,他也持续地帮助我建立事业。

我的人生从此改变...

So do you think I surpassed Tsai?

In personal assets,I’m not sure I have surpassed him , but regarding lifestyle I have,I have more freedom than he does.

你们认为我超过蔡吗?

就个人资产,我不确定,但论生活方式,我做到了,我比他有更多的自由。

I'm grateful to Tsai who inspired me.

I'm still on my way,my dream continues...

非常感谢蔡给我激励,我的梦想还在继续...

As an old saying goes “from zero to hero”, all of us start from zero. Holding on a big dream,getting noble help and keeping to be a better you,you too can be a “hero”.

从2B到牛B,我们每个人可能都始于平凡,紧握自己的梦想,赢得贵人相助,致力于变得更好,你也一样可以成为“英雄”。

Good luck!
