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
今天对大家是个转折点,从准备奉献的世界迈入真正奉献的世界。我感受告诉大家(今天的学生)几点启示适逢其时,这些启示基于个人经验, 也许有助于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
第一条启示,苦干对成功相当重要。若你想未来事业成功,你必须苦干。同辈们也有相似证书,只有拼命苦干,你才能不断前进。.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.
你要巧干或苦干,无需争论,你必须巧干加苦干。若是维普罗公司在往年领先于众多的其它绩优股,不是由于非凡的才干或资源,而是完全的苦干。
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小时的工做周。任何将来领导者,若不许备如此狂热地工做,必定会被别人超过。
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.
想与大家分享的第二个想法,是苦干必须有目标。你要确立一个目标来追求,它能激发你的潜能,向你提出挑战,还能给你巨大的知足。一旦你确立了目标,弥漫你全身,不竭的热情将驱使你去实现目标。而后,你就能诚实、坚定、坚决不移地工做。
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,当我从斯坦福返回印度时,维普罗仍是一个小组织,位于Jalgaon区的小村落Amalner。陡然让我承担一个我毫无准备的职位。
Initially, I found the prospect fairly daunting.
最初,我发现前景至关使人畏缩。
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.
而后,我意识到巨大的挑战带来巨大的机会。这是一个机会,基于估价创立不一样的组织。通过巨大的努力,取得目前的成就。但若是我没被远见彻底点燃让我挺过艰难时期,我不知我是否能坚持作好那些必要的持续的工做。
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.
第三条启示,千万别中止学习。作工程的最大益处,在于教你思考过程的原理,也可用于实际的生活问题。技术的飞速发展,无数的商业环境,给你全新、不一样的途径应用你的知识,为此,你必须锲而不舍地学习。
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.
重要的不是你拥有的知识,而是你动态更新知识的能力。你学会了如何学习。但应用这种能力的热情,必定要来自你的心里。
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.
第四条启示,不要守株待兔。积极寻找机会,一旦看见就把握住。好久之前我就明白了,将来不是你身上发生的东西,而是你创造出的东西。
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.
我据说年轻实现者悲叹国内机会的匮乏驱使他们到海外寻找工做。大家能创造机会,假若大家尽点力,我国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.
回顾往昔,我意识到维普罗并不是像跨国公司同样因为资源丰富而受到祝福。维普罗的成功缘于它的诚实、坚决的自信,决心,改善全球竞争的努力, 为实现目标而持续的工做,以及得到世界级工序、发展世界级团队、吸引世界班级领导的能力。
I hope you will be able to apply my messages in your lives for success and satisfaction.
我但愿,大家将这些启示应用于大家的生活,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.
我满怀但愿与期待,盼望着大家施展才华,塑造大家的事业以及我国的命运。
