中文：讀者文摘，2011-04, 「快樂人生 管理有道」
Harvard Business School 對2010班畢業的課程講話。
經濟冰風暴後，學校、老師、學生都開始重新定位、思考教育及人生目標等大哉問。
============================================================================
Q1. How can I be sure that I'll be happy in my career?
我如何確保職業生涯中自己會快樂？
- the powerful motivator in our lives isnʼt money; itʼs the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities, contribute to others, and be recognized for achievements.
- More and more MBA students come to school thinking that a career in business means buying, selling, and investing in companies. Thatʼs unfortunate. Doing deals doesnʼt yield the deep rewards that come from building up people.
我如何確保我和我配偶、家人的關係能夠成為持久快樂的泉源？
- Because companies's decision-making systems are designed to steer investments to initiatives that offer the most tangible and immediate returns, companies shortchange investments in initiatives that are crucial to their long-term strategies.
我如何確保自己不會淪落到鋃鐺入獄？
1. Allocate Your Resources 明智運用資源
- time, energy, and talent ultimately shape your lifeʼs strategy.
2. Create a Culture 營造家庭文化
- the extent to which members of the organization agree on what they want from their participation in the enterprise, and the extent to which they agree on what actions will produce the desired results.
- Use "power tools”—coercion, threats, punishment, and so on to secure cooperation
- Families have cultures, just as companies do. Those cultures can be built consciously or evolve inadvertently.
- But there comes a point during the teen years when power tools no longer work.
3. Avoid the "Marginal Costs" Mistake 拒抗只此一次
- how to live a life of integrity (stay out of jail), when we choose between right and wrong. "just this once"
- this doctrine, Marginal Cost, biases companies to leverage what they have put in place to succeed in the past, instead of guiding them to create the capabilities they'll need in the future.
- Youʼve got to define for yourself what you stand for and draw the line in a safe place.
4. Remember the Importance of Humility 常保謙卑
- But if you have a humble eagerness to learn something from everybody, your learning opportunities will be unlimited.
- Generally, you can be humble only if you feel really good about yourself—and you want to help those around you feel really good about themselves, too.
- Donʼt worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people.
- Think about the metric by which your life will be judged, and make a resolution to live every day so that in the end, your life will be judged a success.
