【文章內容簡介】
terested in building robots, and I wanted to teach myself about hardware. But building things with hardware, especially if youamp。39。re teaching yourself, is something thatamp。39。s really difficult to do. It has a high likelihood of failure and more over, it has a high likelihood of making you feel stupid. And that was my biggest fear at the time. 非常美麗的時期。但除此之外,我開始對搭建機器人感興趣,我還想自學硬件知識。但搭建需要硬件的東西,尤其是當你是在自學的時候,是一件非常困難的事情。失敗幾率非常高,并且,這很有可能讓你覺得自己超級智障。而那就是我當時最大的恐懼。 So I came up with a setup that would guarantee success 100 percent of the time. With my setup, it would be nearly impossible to fail. And that was that instead of trying to succeed, I was going to try to build things that would fail. And even though I didnamp。39。t realize it at the time,building stupid things was actually quite smart, because as I kept on learning about hardware, for the first time in my life, I did not have to deal with my performance anxiety. And as soon as I removed all pressure and expectations from myself, that pressure quickly got replaced by enthusiasm, and it allowed me to just play. 所以我做了一個一定能保證100%成功率的設定。根據(jù)我的設定,失敗可能性幾乎為零。我打算再試著獲得成功,我要制作一個肯定失敗的機器。盡管我當時并沒有意識到,但實際上,制作一無是處東西其實還是個挺聰明的點子。因為當我對硬件的學習更加深入的時候,我人生中第一次,不用應對自我表現(xiàn)方面的焦慮。并且當我卸除了所有對自己的壓力與期待后,壓力很快就被熱情取代,我就可以只是瞎玩了。 So as an inventor, Iamp。39。m interested in things that people struggle with. It can be small things or big things or mediumsizedthings and something like giving a TED talk presents this whole new set of problems that I can solve. And identifying a problem is the first step in my process of building a useless machine. 所以,作為一個發(fā)明者,我對人們很難做到的事情很感興趣??梢允切∈?,大事,或者二者之間的事。而做一場TED演講,帶來了一系列我能解決的全新問題。而發(fā)現(xiàn)問題則是搭建一個無用機器的第一步。 So before I came here, I sat down and I thought of some of the potential problems I might have in giving this what to say. That people wonamp。39。t laugh thatamp。39。s you. Or even worse, that youamp。39。ll laugh at the wrong things that was an OK part to laugh at, thank you. 在我來這里之前,我坐下來好好思考了一番演講時可能遇到的問題:忘詞,沒人笑。說的就是你哦?;蛘吒愕氖牵銈冃﹀e地方了,這里你們其實是可以笑的,謝謝。 Or that when I get nervous, my hands start shaking and Iamp。39。m really selfconscious about it. Or that my fly has been open this entire time and all of you noticed but I didnamp。39。t, but itamp。39。s closed so weamp。39。re all good on that one. 或者我一緊張就會手抖,我還非常清楚這一點?;蛘呶业难澴永溡恢倍紱]拉上,所有人都注意到了,就我沒有。但它是拉好的,所以沒事了。 But one thing Iamp。39。m actually really nervous about is my hands shaking. I remember when I was a kid, giving presentation
