前言:親們好,兩年前翻譯的一部短小精悍之作,今兒個拿出來與大家共勉,時過境遷,但文章之精髓永垂不朽。
“we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”.
“我們沒有任何錯,但是在某種程度上,我們確實輸了”
During the press conference to announce NOKIA being acquired by Microsoft, Nokia CEO ended his speech saying this “we didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost”. Upon saying that, all his management team, himself included, teared sadly.
新聞發布會上,諾基亞總裁宣布諾基亞已被微軟收購。最后以一句非常傷感的話結束了演講,“我們沒有任何錯,但是在某種程度上,我們確實輸了。” 語一出口,惹得整個團隊包括自己都抹眼淚。
Nokia has been a respectable company. They didn’t do anything wrong in their business, however, the world changed too fast. Their opponents were too powerful.
諾基亞一直以來都是一個備受尊敬的企業,在整個經營中,他們沒有出現過任何差錯,然而,這個世界總是瞬息萬變,是他們的對手太強大了。
They missed out on learning, they missed out on changing, and thus they lost the opportunity at hand to make it big. Not only did they miss the opportunity to earn big money, they lost their chance of survival.
他們錯過了學習,錯過了改進,錯過了唾手可得,發展壯大的機會。最終,他們不僅錯過了讓企業創造更多財富的機會,也錯過了他們賴以生存的機會。
The message of this story is, if you don’t change, you shall be removed from the competition.
這則故事折射出的信息就是,如果你一成不變,必將被殘酷的競爭貶出局。
It’s not wrong if you don’t want to learn new things. However, if your thoughts and mindset cannot catch up with time, you will be eliminated.
你不想學習新事物,這本身 沒有錯。但是,如果你的思維模式和思想觀念不能與時俱進,就會注定被淘汰。
Conclusion:
總結
1. The advantage you have yesterday, will be replaced by the trends of tomorrow. You don’t have to do anything wrong, as long as your competitors catch the wave and do it RIGHT, you can lose out and fail.
?1. ?明天的發展趨勢必將取代你昨天的優勢。即使你不用做錯任何事情,只要你的對手緊跟時代潮流,并且做著正確的事情,那你已經滿盤皆輸了。
2.To change and improve yourself is giving yourself a second chance. To be forced by others to change, is like being discarded.
2. 主動學習新事物,掌握新本領,就是給自己的第二次機會。如果被對手逼迫著改變,無異于坐以待斃。
Those who refuse to learn & improve, will definitely one day become redundant & not relevant to the industry. They will learn the lesson in a hard & expensive way.
3.那些拒絕學習和自我提升的人,毫無疑問,總有一天會作為公司的累贅而被鏟除。以失去工作換來的教訓,必然慘痛和沉重。
