2014年12月15日，戴爾亞太區(qū)總裁閔毅達(dá)（Amit Midha）一行來訪百年職校，參觀北京百年職校及戴爾學(xué)習(xí)中心，并與學(xué)生親切交流。
在百年愛心講堂，閔毅達(dá)給學(xué)生帶來精彩演講。面對(duì)社會(huì)飛速的變化，如何讓年輕一代為未來做好準(zhǔn)備？閔毅達(dá)認(rèn)為，所掌握的技能、得體的行為以及態(tài)度是未來成功所必須的。他還勉勵(lì)學(xué)生，要專心學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)，保持學(xué)習(xí)的饑渴，為“贏”而努力，同時(shí)也指出學(xué)習(xí)沒有捷徑可走，需要經(jīng)歷練習(xí)的過程。從最開始學(xué)習(xí)新知、儲(chǔ)藏記憶，然后鞏固練習(xí)、“肌肉記憶”，最后將整個(gè)知識(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)化成自己的內(nèi)容，認(rèn)知其中的道理并熟記于心。
自2006年戴爾在中國的首個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)中心在百年職校正式揭牌，戴爾與百年職校攜手十年，為各地九所百年職校捐建戴爾學(xué)習(xí)中心、提供先進(jìn)設(shè)備及志愿服務(wù)，為眾多貧困年輕人的命運(yùn)改善作出無限努力。“戴爾學(xué)習(xí)中心”不僅成為每一位學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)和應(yīng)用計(jì)算機(jī)技能的場(chǎng)所，還成為各興趣小組成員如通訊社、詩社等的活動(dòng)場(chǎng)所，豐富了學(xué)生們的課余生活。
閔毅達(dá)給百年職校學(xué)生的精彩演講如下：
大家好！很榮幸今天來到百年職校，了解到你們?cè)谛W(xué)習(xí)的情況，給我留下非常深刻的印象。
Da Jia Hao！I am so honored to be in front of you today. It is such a wonderful day. I have learned so much about what you have been doing in the daily schooling and I’m very impressed.
我們的社會(huì)日新月異，這種擴(kuò)張型的變化意味著每天的變化都比前一天更快，未來有價(jià)值的東西跟昨天有很大不同。在不確定的將來，如何讓我們的年輕一代為未來做好準(zhǔn)備？很多人都在試圖尋找答案。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案并不明確，但可以確定的是你所掌握的技能、得體的行為以及態(tài)度是未來成功所必須的。一些你們正在通過行為所學(xué)習(xí)的人生技能，諸如紀(jì)律、品德、透明、高效都是未來所需的。團(tuán)隊(duì)合作、人際溝通、電腦技能、創(chuàng)新能力同樣需要掌握。這些遠(yuǎn)比某些具體的技能更加重要。這也意味著你必須為未來掌握這些新的技能做好準(zhǔn)備。只有擁有正確的態(tài)度和行為基礎(chǔ)，未來才會(huì)更加成功。期待你們能夠在百年職校努力學(xué)習(xí)，這將為你在真實(shí)的世界開啟職業(yè)生涯奠定很有價(jià)值的基礎(chǔ)。
Our society is changing very fast. Our society is changing expansionary, which means our society is going faster everyday than the day before. Which will be valued in the future will be different from yesterday. So in that uncertain future, how to prepare our youth to lead tomorrow? That is a question many people are trying to answer to. The right answer is not clear. What is clear is what sort of skill set, behavior, ethic and attitude is required to have a successful future. Now some of the skills you are learning from behavior point of view, about discipline, ethic, transparency and efficiency, all of those skill set will be required in the future. What also being required is collaboration, your ability to work together, ability to communicate, ability to work with computers, ability to bring innovation. Those skill sets are more important than an explicit skill set functionally you may acquire. That means you have to be ready for new skills to learn in future. Unless you have the right attitude and behavior foundation, you won’t be able to create a bright future. My suggestions to you would be learn the best you can from your experience in this school. This is giving you a great foundation to start your career in the real world.
第二，專心學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)知識(shí)，將來無論你從事什么工作都離不開它。電腦和軟件更新迭代尤其迅速，社會(huì)將更加依賴于此。掌握計(jì)算機(jī)技術(shù)尤為重要。
Second, pay attention to your computer skills. In the future, computer skills will be required no matter what you do. Computer and software especially are changing the society. Society will be even more dependent on software to be functioning properly. Your computer skills will matter a lot.
第三，要每天都堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)。未來如此不確定，即使你已經(jīng)參與工作，你也必須思考如何每天獲取新知。學(xué)習(xí)不僅僅來源于書本和老師，做好每天的工作，與他人溝通交流都會(huì)讓你受益良多。你需要思考的是怎樣持續(xù)不斷地學(xué)習(xí)。你可以通過閱讀、向他人請(qǐng)教，也可以通過持續(xù)不斷地增進(jìn)自己的工作并成為這個(gè)領(lǐng)域的專家來保持學(xué)習(xí)。
Third, I would say learn every day. I think given the future’s uncertainty, even if you are working, you have to think about how you can learn every day. And learning doesn’t always come through the books or through teachers. Every day how you do your job, how well you do your job, and how you interact with others gives you advice. You have to think about how you can continue to learn. You can learn through reading, you can learn through others, you can also learn by doing your job better every day to be an expert.
第四，為“贏”而努力。我在工作和其他地方看到很多人對(duì)他們所做的事情充滿激情，他們?yōu)樯畹谋荣惾橥度耄运麄冏詈螳@得了成功。有些人只是期望不“輸”。不同的態(tài)度帶來了巨大的差異。實(shí)際上，為了“贏”而努力比只期望不“輸”多50%獲勝的幾率。所以注意你的態(tài)度，保持向上的心態(tài)。如果你想做到最好，一天天提高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，你會(huì)更好更快地獲得成功。
Forth, play to win. I think I see even at my work and every place where some people are so passionate about what they do. They work late in the game so they can win. Some people want to play the game so they don’t lose. It’s a matter of attitude, but it makes a huge difference. In fact, you have almost 50% better chance of success if you play to win than someone who plays to not lose. So mind your attitude, keep your attitude up. If you have the attitude of doing your best, performing at higher levels today than yesterday, you will succeed better and faster.
最后我想說，工作只是工作，更重要的是成為你所在國家和社會(huì)的一名好公民。中國有深厚的哲學(xué)積淀，如果你能夠遵循并踐行，做一個(gè)社會(huì)的好公民，為社會(huì)的發(fā)展做貢獻(xiàn)，不僅僅這個(gè)社會(huì)會(huì)進(jìn)步，你也一定會(huì)充分發(fā)揮你的潛能，我深信這一點(diǎn)。
Last but not least, work is work, but beyond that you have to be a good citizen of your country and society. Well I can tell you all about success. You have great philosophical background here in China to live by. If you follow some of the philosophical experts in the Chinese society, be a good citizen, be a good contributor to the society development, not only the society will develop, but you as a person will develop and fulfill your full potential, that I am sure of.
我簡(jiǎn)短介紹一下自己。我在上海居住，負(fù)責(zé)戴爾在亞太、日本地區(qū)的工作，這也意味著我要經(jīng)常出差。我隔月就要去日本、澳洲、印度、南亞和美國，經(jīng)常不在家。我有兩個(gè)孩子，一個(gè)10歲，一個(gè)6歲，通常我們是通過科技交流。我們每天或者隔天就會(huì)視頻聊天。每次出差回家，我一定會(huì)告訴他們我做了什么。我也會(huì)將行程中的照片發(fā)給他們，所以他們知道我每天都做些什么，這仿佛是一個(gè)家庭之間的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)。我期望你能像普通人一樣認(rèn)識(shí)我，而不是一個(gè)商人。我從小生長在印度，如今我?guī)ьI(lǐng)著全球的商務(wù)。我希望你知道成功是可能的。請(qǐng)一定相信你能夠充分發(fā)揮你的潛能，并且記住我說的關(guān)于成功的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，這在你未來發(fā)展的道路上會(huì)帶來幫助。
With that I just wanna give you a quick introduction. I think you have seen my bio. I live in Shanghai, but I run Dell’s business in Asia Pacific and Japan, which means I have to travel a lot. I travel to Japan, Australia, India, Southeast Asia, and the US every other month, which means I’m away from home. I have two kids, one is ten and one is six. My interaction with them is pretty much through technology. We do video conference everyday or every other day. Every time I travel, when I come back I have to tell them what I did. I also send them pictures when I’m on the road. So they know what I am doing today. It’s like a private social networking within the family. They get to see everyday what I’m been up to. Like I said, I hope you know me like a person as well, not just someone who is in a business. I want you to know that success is possible. I was born in India and grew up there as well, and now I lead a global business. So it is possible for you all to achieve your full potential but keep in mind what I told you about success. Please remember that because they will come handy when you are thinking about your future.
學(xué)生問題一：下午好，閔先生，戴爾未來將推出什么新的技術(shù)？
Question 1: Good afternoon Mr. Midha! My name is Natalie. What is the new technology of Dell in the future?
閔毅達(dá)：世界在變化，需要技術(shù)更強(qiáng)大的計(jì)算機(jī)支持來支持互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的后端。為了有更多的視頻、照片和方便的溝通，計(jì)算機(jī)需要更加強(qiáng)大。另外一方面，科技隨時(shí)隨地跟著你。今天是手機(jī),明天可能是一塊表或者是胸針，它能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)現(xiàn)在手機(jī)所具備的一切功能。一方面科技變得越來越小、越來越方便以及便宜，另一方面對(duì)終端計(jì)算機(jī)的性能要求也越來越高。
我們可以想象在教室這樣大的一個(gè)空間，放50-60臺(tái)冰箱大小的計(jì)算機(jī)，產(chǎn)生的能量和計(jì)算，在今天只需要一臺(tái)就能處理，這也是戴爾做的嘗試。從50臺(tái)冰箱大小規(guī)模的計(jì)算云中心變成一臺(tái)冰箱大小的計(jì)算云中心完成所有的計(jì)算，只花了九年的時(shí)間。九年以前，要處理互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的信息，只能找支持這么大數(shù)量計(jì)算的設(shè)備，而如今你已經(jīng)不需要它了，這個(gè)數(shù)據(jù)中心甚至放在衣柜里就可以，連空調(diào)都免了，數(shù)據(jù)中心在36攝氏度以下才能順利運(yùn)行。第二個(gè)未來趨勢(shì)是我們需要制作更小的電腦。戴爾剛剛發(fā)布了一款平板，只有6毫米的厚度，配有2K的顯示屏和優(yōu)秀的3D照相功能，可以實(shí)現(xiàn)全景拍攝。它甚至可以完成人臉掃描，現(xiàn)在我給大家拍個(gè)照片，回家之后打印出來就可以清楚地再現(xiàn)大家的面孔。所有的東西都凝聚在一個(gè)平板上，這也是目前戴爾努力發(fā)展的技術(shù)創(chuàng)新。
Amit Midha: The world is changing where technologically more powerful computers are needed to support the backbone of Internet. To have more videos, more pictures, more communication, computers have to be very very powerful now to run the Internet. On the other hand, the technology goes with you wherever you go. Today it is a phone, tomorrow it could be a watch or just a pin. This could be everything I need to do everything you do with your phone today. So on one hand technology is becoming smaller, easier, cheaper to go with you wherever you go, on the other hand, the back-end computers have to be more powerful than ever to support so much more interaction that is happening.
Let me give you an example. Imagine a computer room in the size of this area, this auditorium, there are 50-60 refrigerator－size computers sitting and running the Internet engagement of a company. Today it can be done with only 1 refrigerator-size computer. You can see the computers are becoming more powerful in smaller space. And that’s what Dell is doing. Dell’s customers are needing the density, the power, the cooling, as well as the space Internet, computers take.
You can see that over time, these 50-60 big refrigerator-size computers can be replaced by one. It has happened over 9 years. 9 years back, if you built a big data center like this, you don’t need it anymore. You can run it from the closet; you don’t even need air-conditioning anymore. Data center runs up to 36 degrees Celsius. That’s the kind of big progress Dell is driving in. The second one is how you can make smaller computers. We recently launched a tablet at 6mm. It has 2k display, a 3D camera, and it has the full moments processing, which means you have a very small computer with you that can take 3D pictures. It can even take your facial scans, which I can go back and print it at my home, and I can have the exact faces of you printed on my 3D computer. That’s what can be done with a very small tablet. That’s what the second technology Dell is driving.
學(xué)生提問二：到目前為止，什么是你人生中最大的成就？
Question 2: Good afternoon sir, my name is Fay. What is your biggest achievement so far in life?
閔毅達(dá)：開始工作之初，我覺得最大的成就是我找到了一份工作。隨著生活的進(jìn)展，到了應(yīng)該結(jié)婚生子的時(shí)候，我覺得結(jié)婚、生子就是最大的成就。到今天，我覺得人生最大的成就不是物質(zhì)成就。我所理解的成就是如何影響周邊的人同時(shí)能夠給他所處的社會(huì)帶來一些不同，這很難衡量和計(jì)算，但我認(rèn)為，我曾經(jīng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了一個(gè)非常成功的企業(yè)，現(xiàn)在負(fù)責(zé)戴爾亞太地區(qū)的業(yè)務(wù)，同時(shí)我堅(jiān)守了自己的人生準(zhǔn)則，并為他人帶來不同，這是我覺得最大的成就所在。
Amit Midha: when I got my first job, I thought my biggest achievement was getting a job. At that time, I thought that was pretty good. I got a good job, right? Then I must get married and I should have children. Well I have children now and they are healthy and happy. And that was the biggest achievement at that time. But as time went on, you don’t measure your success in terms of materials, you see what influence you have had on the society, what difference you have made in people around you. And that’s how you measure your success. I know it’s hard to measure, because you can’t count. But how you live your life, how you make difference in others’ life, start with somewhere and add more. So I would say, I have been able to build a business in Asia Pacific, in the meantime I have lived my life in ways that I don’t have to compromise, and I have been able to make differences for others. That’s my answer.
學(xué)生提問：怎樣才能提高我的計(jì)算機(jī)能力？
Question 3: Good afternoon sir, my name is Chasel. How can I improve my computer skills?
閔毅達(dá)：學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)算機(jī)跟學(xué)習(xí)其他技能一樣，都需要經(jīng)歷一個(gè)過程，沒有捷徑。首先要記在腦子里面，面對(duì)知識(shí)層面的認(rèn)知，讓學(xué)習(xí)的知識(shí)能夠記憶到大腦里。其次要不停地練習(xí)，產(chǎn)生“肌肉記憶”。舉個(gè)例子，你在開車的時(shí)候不用去思考，這種能力已經(jīng)是一種肌肉應(yīng)激反應(yīng)，從大腦轉(zhuǎn)換到身體。第三，知識(shí)進(jìn)入了你的內(nèi)心。隨著知識(shí)的積累，當(dāng)你有能力教會(huì)別人怎么做，告訴他人為什么這么做，怎樣能夠做的更好，你就能夠把大腦掌握的知識(shí)再轉(zhuǎn)化，熟記于心。學(xué)習(xí)的過程沒有捷徑，學(xué)計(jì)算機(jī)也一樣，都有經(jīng)歷過這個(gè)過程，最開始學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)、儲(chǔ)藏記憶，然后鞏固練習(xí)、“肌肉記憶”，最后能夠?qū)⒄麄€(gè)知識(shí)結(jié)構(gòu)轉(zhuǎn)化成自己的內(nèi)容，認(rèn)知其中的道理并熟記于心，這時(shí)你會(huì)成為比自己的老師更加強(qiáng)大的知識(shí)掌握者。
Amit Midha: Well, how do you improve skill set in anything? Typically you learn first, that means stay here. Second, you keep doing it, so it becomes a muscle memory, that means it stays with you wherever. Third, you evolve so you can teach others. That’s how you learn, that how the skills improve. There’s no shortcut either with computers. You have to study hard, to learn intellectually, that means it sits in your mind. Second you have to practice and do more work, so it sits in your muscle. That means when you drive you don’t have to think, you drive without thinking, it sits in your body everywhere. Third, it sits in your heart, when you actually teach others and can tell others why it is so and how they can do better. So it moves from mind to muscle to heart. You wanna improve your computer skill set? Start with mind, learn as much as you can. Then practice, it goes to your muscle. Then finally it sits in your heart, that’s when you become a better teacher than the teacher taught you.
