「我们相信工作会带来幸福快乐，但是能不能反过来想呢？」其实，每个人幸福的程度可以由身处的外在环境来预测，可是事实是就算能够知道你所处的外在环境，也只能预测你10%的长期幸福程度，另外的90%不能以外在环境预测的部分，是取决于你的脑子如何看待这个环境。 Whatever it is, instead of deleting you, what I want to do is study you. Because maybe we can glean information -- not just how to move people up to the average, but how we can move the entire average up in our companies and schools worldwide.The reason this graph is important to me is, when I turn on the news, it seems like the majority of the information is not positive, in fact it's negative. Most of it's about murder, corruption, diseases, natural disasters. And very quickly, my brain starts to think that's the accurate ratio of negative to positive in the world. What that's doing is creating something called the medical school syndrome -- which, if you know people who've been to medical school, during the first year of medical training, as you read through a list of all the symptoms and diseases that could happen, suddenly you realize you have all of them.I have a brother in-law named Bobo -- which is a whole other story. Bobo married Amy the unicorn. Bobo called me on the phone from Yale Medical School, and Bobo said, "Shawn, I have leprosy." (Laughter) Which, even at Yale, is extraordinarily rare. But I had no idea how to console poor Bobo because he had just gotten over an entire week of menopause.(Laughter)See what we're finding is it's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if we can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.When I applied to Harvard, I applied on a dare. I didn't expect to get in, and my family had no money for college. When I got a military scholarship two weeks later, they allowed me to go. Suddenly, something that wasn't even a possibility became a reality. When I went there, I assumed everyone else would see it as a privilege as well, that they'd be excited to be there. Even if you're in a classroom full of people smarter than you, you'd be happy just to be in that classroom, which is what I felt. But what I found there is, while some people experience that, when I graduated after my four years and then spent the next eight years living in the dorms with the students -- Harvard asked me toI wasn't that guy. (Laughter) I was an officer of Harvard to counsel students through the difficult four years. And what I found in my research and my teaching is that these students, no matter how happy they were with their original success of getting into the school, two weeks later their brains were focused, not on the privilege of being there, nor on their philosophy or their physics. Their brain was focused on the competition, the workload, the hassles, the stresses, the complaints.When I first went in there, I walked into the freshmen dining hall, which is where my friends from Waco, Texas, which is where I grew up -- I know some of you have heard of it. When they'd come to visit me, they'd look around, they'd say, "This freshman dining hall looks like something out of Hogwart's from the movie "Harry Potter," which it does. This is Hogwart's from the movie "Harry Potter" and that's Harvard. And when they see this, they say, "Shawn, why do you waste your time studying happiness at Harvard?"Embedded within that question is the key to understanding the science of happiness. Because what that question assumes is that our external world is predictive of our happiness levels, when in reality, if I know everything about your external world, I can only predict 10 percent of your long-term happiness. 90 percent of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but by the way your brain processes the world. And if we change it, if we change our formula for happiness and success, what we can do is change the way that we can then affect reality. What we found is that only 25 percent of job successes are predicted by I.Q. 75 percent of job successes are predicted by your optimism levels, your social support and your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of as a threat.I talked to a boarding school up in New England, probably the most prestigious boarding school, and they said, "We already know that. So every year, instead of just teaching our students, we also have a wellness week. And we're so excited. Monday night we have the world's leading expert coming in to speak about adolescent depression. Tuesday night it's school violence and bullying. Wednesday night is eating disorders. Thursday night is elicit drug use. And Friday night we're trying to decide between risky sex or happiness." (Laughter) I said, "That's most people's Friday nights." (Laughter) (Applause) Which I'm glad you liked, but they did not like that at all. Silence on the phone. And into the silence, I said, "I'd be happy to speak at your school, but just so you know, that's not a wellness week, that's a sickness week. What you've done is you've outlined all the negative things that can happen, but not talked about the positive."The absence of disease is not health. Here's how we get to health: We need to reverse the formula for happiness and success. In the last three years, I've traveled to 45 different countries, working with schools and companies in the midst of an economic downturn. And what I found is that most companies and schools follow a formula for success, which is this: If I work harder, I'll be more successful. And if I'm more successful, then I'll be happier. That undergirds most of our parenting styles, our managing styles, the way that we motivate our behavior.And the problem is it's scientifically broken and backwards for two reasons. First, every time your brain has a success, you just changed the goalpost of what success looked like. You got good grades, now you have to get better grades, you got into a good school and after you get into a better school, you got a good job, now you have to get a better job, you hit your sales target, we're going to change your sales target. And if happiness is on the opposite side of success, your brain never gets there. What we've done is we've pushed happiness over the cognitive horizon as a society. And that's because we think we have to be successful, then we'll be happier.But the real problem is our brains work in the opposite order. If you can raise somebody's level of positivity in the present, then their brain experiences what we now call a happiness advantage, which is your brain at positive performs significantly better than it does at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, your energy levels rise. In fact, what we've found is that every single business outcome improves. Your brain at positive is 31 percent more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed. You're 37 percent better at sales. Doctors are 19 percent faster, more accurate at coming up with the correct diagnosis when positive instead of negative, neutral or stressed. Which means we can reverse the formula. If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully as we're able to work harder, faster and more intelligently.What we need to be able to do is to reverse this formula so we can start to see what our brains are actually capable of. Because dopamine, which floods into your system when you're positive, has two functions. Not only does it make you happier, it turns on all of the learning centers in your brain allowing you to adapt to the world in a different way.We've found that there are ways that you can train your brain to be able to become more positive. In just a two-minute span of time done for 21 days in a row, we can actually rewire your brain, allowing your brain to actually work more optimistically and more successfully. We've done these things in research now in every single company that I've worked with, getting them to write down three new things that they're grateful for for 21 days in a row, three new things each day. And at the end of that, their brain starts to retain a pattern of scanning the world, not for the negative, but for the positive first.Journaling about one positive experience you've had over the past 24 hours allows your brain to relive it. Exercise teaches your brain that your behavior matters. We find that meditation allows your brain to get over the cultural ADHD that we've been creating by trying to do multiple tasks at once and allows our brains to focus on the task at hand. And finally, random acts of kindness are conscious acts of kindness. We get people, when they open up their inbox, to write one positive email praising or thanking somebody in their social support network.And by doing these activities and by training your brain just like we train our bodies, what we've found is we can reverse the formula for happiness and success, and in doing so, not only create ripples of positivity, but create a real revolution.Thank you very much.(Applause)4.

一个英语学渣在外企的逆袭路
每个国家都有属于自己的专属语言，在世界范围内，知名度很高的语言有汉语、英语和法语、日语。但是要说到流传度和使用普遍率最广的语言就要数英语了。而我们很多人从小学开始直到大学都在进行着英语的学习，尽管有不少人对于语法和英语语言都非常的了解，并且能够说出一口流利的英语，这也是经过了系统的学习才能达到的。
可是就有这么一位特殊的上海小哥，他根本没有进行过系统的英语学习，却能说一口流利的英语，并且他说的英语口语，还有一股纯正的伦敦腔。
据悉，这名上海小哥叫张建海，是一名普通的飞机机修工，因为工作的特殊性从未出过国，但是他本人却经常在自己的短视频账号上，发布关于飞机修理和其他与机场相关的英语口语和词汇展示，语音标准流畅，并且视频中的他还是身穿飞机修理师的工作服，没有开美颜和滤镜，看上去淳朴又真实。视频一经发出，也引起了网友的广泛关注与讨论，不少人也感叹，为什么他能这么厉害？
据他本人所描述，他对英语十分感兴趣，把英语的学习当成自己的爱好，在日常生活中，他会观看许多英语电影，收听英语广播，并且还会学着电视或电影中人物的语调来学习英语。在多年以后，随着他对英语口语的不断了解与深入，整个人的气质也提升了，说英语时总会带着一种纯正的伦敦气息。
张建海学习英语有自己的心路历程和想法，他不是单纯的把学习英语当做日常读取维修说明书和与机务人员交流的任务，而是切身去感受英语理解和学习，为自己带来的美好境界。
张建海日复一日的努力和训练，造就了今日他在英语口语上的独特魅力和辉煌。
01 | 英语学渣的逆袭路
最近在面会计岗，有些侯选人在最后环节都略带怯意地问”在工作中，英语口语用的多吗？”
作为在外企摸爬滚打多年的职场老人，我讲讲下我如何从英语学渣一步步升级打怪的逆袭路。
大学考六级时, 我是我们班上为数不多的高分通过的人，但依然掩盖不了我是英语学渣的本质。我的口语听力极差。80年代小县城的英语教育，是从初中才开始学。我初中刚好进入叛逆期，走了不良少女路线，导致整个初中的英语基础底子很弱。高中突然间大彻大悟，开始努力学习。上大学后参加过学校英语俱乐部，也专门买过一套音标来纠正口音，但也许是英语底子太弱，始终不得要领，英语口语听力没有任何起色。
毕业后第二年， 机缘巧合进入一家世界五百强外企工作。刚进去的第一年，我负责海外应收。这个岗位需定期和海外供应商开会对账。这一年是我被虐得体无完肤的一年。刚开始开会时，根本听不懂供应商在说什么。当年整个团队的英语能力都很强，TL在英国留学四年。在这种内外部压力下，我被虐得体无完肤，但也逼得自己一路升级打怪成功逆袭。
知乎上有很多英语大神，分享了很多专业的英语提升方法。我认为英语学习方法没有最完美的，只有最适合的。 我从一个英语学渣的角度来分享下我在逆袭路上试过的错和经过无数次试错后适合我的学习方法。
02 | 无数次的试错
线上下教育
在第一家外企被虐得最狠的那一年，我咬牙大手笔报了一个线下教育机构的一年课程。半年后，没能坚持下来，把课程转给了我姐。后来线上教育风行，我勇敢地又挑战了了一年的线上课，半年后，账号登录使用率直线下降，再次把课程给了朋友。
听力
听过BBC,VOA, 买过《China Daily》，参加过《老友记》的英语学习打卡群，抱着看电影学英语的心态坚持过每周一次的英剧，美剧，卒！
单词
为提高输入，买过某背单词APP一个月的体验课，坚持打卡了一个月，果断不再续费！
上面无论哪一种方法，都是比较流行的英语学习方法。只要能坚持，都会有效果的。但对于我这种工作996，又忙CPA考试 ，又要带娃的人来说，上面哪一种方法都没有坚持下来。BBC 听得真的很乏味，背单词真的很枯燥，上班已经很累了，下了班还要坚持CPA 学习，还要带娃，还要坚持英语学习，还要坚持运动，没有一个耐操的身心承受能力，很难事事兼顾。怎么破？下面我来分享下经过无数次试错后适合我的学习方法。
03 | 无数次试错后适合我的方法
听力
听力是我突破的第一个重点。工作交流中，先听得懂对方在说什么才是王道。试错了这么多听力资料，我发现《English Pod》是最适合我的资料，简直是一见English Pod误终身！
365期，内容非常广泛，只有一分钟左右对话，但短小精悍且实用有趣。两个主持人很棒，能把一分钟对话展开来精细讲解十几分钟。
每天上班路上精听《English Pod》。听了近100期后，明显感觉听力上了一个Level。这个学习材料值得精学多遍，里面的口语表达太地道太实用了！
口语
口语的表达需要大量的输入。在和外教上课或和外国同事打交道时，口语表达上始终有种无力感，没有足够的词汇量能在第一时间反应出来。而词汇量的匮乏导致就算有足够的外教口语交流机会，翻来覆去输出的就那些词语，句子，对口语的提升也没实质性的帮助。
大量的输入，我也是充分利用《English Pod》来提升:
1）坚持长期的听力输入+影子跟读法
《 English Pod》每天听一期，听懂后，跟读十遍，前五遍是普通跟读法（听一句说一句），后五遍是影子跟读法（仅慢半拍或同步说出）。
2)词汇量的积累
在学《English Pod》碰到的单词，我都会在网易有道词典里查询。有道词典会将查询的单词放在单词本里，可以定期的回顾背诵。足够的词汇量输入，也是保证口语输出的一个突破点。
3）APP《鲜榨语感》
这里面有各种口音的老外拍的英语小视频，一个小视频半分钟左右。我晚上睡觉前会刷2个小视频，采取同样的学习方法，先盲听，再影子跟读。刷完后就愉快地睡觉去。
泛听
除了每周上下班路上的《English Pod》精听，我还会保持每周刷一部英剧或美剧来泛听。
04 | 外企面试中常被问到的问题
在外企工作用英语的机会多吗？是不是英语一定要好？
这是我最经常被问的问题。这个要看工作岗位。外企是纯浸入式的英文工作环境。如果工作内容仅需纯工作邮件往来，那么对英语口语和听力的要求也不那么高，但书面英语的能力还是要求有的。
这种纯浸入式的英文工作环境 ，对于英语水平的提升是有很大帮助的。这也是为什么有人说“进外企工作，才是学好英语的最佳方法，而不是学好英语再进外企。”
我在外企有几年从海外对接转为大中华区对接，邮件会议全部用中文沟通，我一时不适应。这是因为工作时大脑已经“Think in English ”。这也是为什么在外企工作过的人有4A腔。不是故意要装，这就是通用的工作语言，完全是下意识行为。后来从外企跳到民企后，也负责海外业务。打开海外网站查询业务时，同事问我为什么不选择中文语言版面，我听了一楞，想说: 英文版面反而是我更熟悉的工作语言版面。
英语口音不纯正怎么办？
就我所接触的外国同事，英语口音是否纯正人家并不在意。工作沟通中，双方能理解对方在说什么，你能让对方听懂你想要表达的，沟通能顺利进行就可以。
从民企跳回外企时，面试我的上级主管说她面这个岗位面得很头疼，有丰富对口工作经验同时又能英语表达OK的人太少了。其实我的英语表达并不那么地道，但胜在我敢说，且能说清楚。
在工作中会碰到过各种口音的外国同事或合作方，有新加坡，香港，澳洲，美国，英国，印度，迪拜，委内瑞拉，墨西哥，巴西。听各种口音的英语也是个趣事。新加坡口音带有马来味，香港口音带有港腔味，而迪拜口音，我在第一次听时，楞了许久，我以为他在跟我阿拉伯语。
