馬云2014年聯(lián)合國“創(chuàng)變者”演講

2014年10月17日上午，亞洲協(xié)會在紐約聯(lián)合國總部揭曉了首屆“創(chuàng)變者”獲獎名單并舉

辦頒獎典禮，馬云作為唯一的中國企業(yè)家代表，位列首屆“創(chuàng)變者”名單榜首。

他在演講中說，“過去十五年，我常常說自己是一個(gè)瞎子騎在瞎老虎背上，不過那些騎在馬

上的專家都失敗了，我們活了下來。因?yàn)槲覀兛紤]的是未來，我們相信未來。我們改變自己。

我們從不抱怨別人。”以下是演講全文：

非常感謝大家！今晚站在這里，我感到非常謙卑和光榮。我從來沒想過這一生中會有機(jī)會來

到聯(lián)合國。謝謝施靜書女士，非常感謝亞洲協(xié)會。

Thank you very much! I'm so humble and honor to be here tonight. I never thought

that I would have a chance in my life to be at the United Nations. Thank you Jotte

and thank you very much for Asia society.

我特別想感謝Ellie關(guān)于老師的評論，當(dāng)我坐在下面聽你的演講。在十二歲的時(shí)候，我自己

開始學(xué)英語，不知道為了什么，我就是愛上了這門語言。那時(shí)，每天早晨從5點(diǎn)開始我會

騎車40分鐘，到杭州的酒店找外國游客。他們教我英語，我?guī)麄冇斡[城市作為交換。

I would like to thank you Ellie for the teachers comment when I sat in there and

listened to what you talked. I learnt English by mylf when I was twelve years old

for whatever reason. I don't know. I just fell in love with this language. Every

morning, from five o'clock, I rode a bicycle for fourteen minutes to the HangZhou

hotel looking for foreign tourists to teach me English. I could show them around

the city and they told me English.

從此以后，無論我學(xué)習(xí)什么，我養(yǎng)成了一個(gè)習(xí)慣，那就是用我自己的腦子來思考問題，多花

幾分鐘。當(dāng)事情有可能是對的時(shí)候，等幾分鐘，當(dāng)所有人都說不的時(shí)候，也等幾分鐘，仔細(xì)

地想一下事情本身。因?yàn)楫?dāng)你從一個(gè)不同的視角看世界的時(shí)候，你也可能用不同的方式做事。

Since then, everything I learn, I' ve got a habit: u your own brain to think about

just one more minute. When everything probably is yes, wait for one minute. when

that is probable no, wait for one minute. Think life that way becau if you look at

the world in a different way, you may do in a different way.

今晚，我深深地被所有這些創(chuàng)變者所鼓舞。在聽他們的故事時(shí)，我意識到世界上有那么多事

情我可以做，有那么多事情我能做得更好，有那么多事情我們能一起來做。今天我不是代表

我自己，而是代表所有那些和我一起工作的小人物，小企業(yè)。

And tonight I'm so honored to be inspired by the game changer partners. I listened

to their stories, and I know there's so much things I should do and I should do

better. So many things we can do together. I think that I'm here today not reprent

mylf but reprent all the small guys, all the small business.

1995年我離開大學(xué)的時(shí)候，我告訴校長，我要做個(gè)創(chuàng)業(yè)者，做互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。他問我：什么是互

聯(lián)網(wǎng)? 我回答：我也不知道。他聽我說了兩個(gè)小時(shí)后告訴我，Jack，我知道你想有一番作為，

我不懂你做的事情。不過如果十年后你想回來，那就回來。我說：好，十年之內(nèi)，如果我想

回來，我會回來的。我知道作為一個(gè)老師，你總會有所期待。你永遠(yuǎn)會相信未來。你相信知

識會改變?nèi)说纳睿?/span>你相信并希望你的學(xué)生比你更優(yōu)秀。學(xué)生是最好的產(chǎn)品。今天我不再是

一個(gè)老師，但我相信在公司，CEO代表“首席教育官”。因?yàn)樵捄芏啵聜儾幌矚g我。

不過，我負(fù)責(zé)來說，他們負(fù)責(zé)做。

In 1995, when I left my university, I told my president of university that I am going

be an entrepreneur doing Internet. He said: 'What is Internet'? I said: 'I don't know'.

And when he listened to me for two hours, he told me: 'ok, jack, I know you want to

do something. I don't know what you want to do, but ten years later if you want to

be back, just be back. And I say: 'Ok within ten years, I will be back'. I know as a

teacher you always expect. Teacher always believe in the future. You believe

knowledge will change people's life. You believe and hope your students are better

than you are. Students are the best products. Today, I'm not a teacher, but I consider

CEO as a 'Chief Educator Officer'. My college don't like me becau I talk a lot. And I

say: I do the talk, you do the work.

在我創(chuàng)業(yè)的那個(gè)年代，在中國做個(gè)小企業(yè)家非常困難，我花了5個(gè)月時(shí)間才借到500美元，

而公司還是失敗了。那時(shí)我沒有機(jī)會，我也不知道怎樣運(yùn)營企業(yè)。我去注冊第一家公司時(shí)，

想取名叫互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，注冊辦公室告訴我，不行，字典里沒有這個(gè)詞，你怎么注冊？你必須換個(gè)

名字注冊公司。他建議我使用計(jì)算機(jī)咨詢公司，可是我連計(jì)算機(jī)是什么都不知道。所以我的

第一個(gè)公司叫做杭州希望計(jì)算機(jī)咨詢公司。那時(shí)很苦，我當(dāng)時(shí)對科技和計(jì)算機(jī)一無所知。

When I started the business, it's so difficult to be a small business owner in China. It

took me five month to borrow five hundred dollars but I still failed. No chance and I

have no idea about how to run a business. When I went to register a company

called 'Internet'. The register officer said: 'No, there's not such a word 'Internet' in a

dictionary. How could you register a 'Interest'? You have to register another name.

He said computer consulting firm. I have no idea what computer is, so my first

company was 'HangZhou Hope Computer Consulting Firm'. It was tough, without

knowing anything about technology and without knowing anything about

computer.

過去十五年，在工作中，我常常說自己是一個(gè)瞎子騎在瞎老虎背上。不過那些騎在馬上的專

家都失敗了，我們活了下來。因?yàn)槲覀兛紤]的是未來，我們相信未來。我們改變自己。我們

從不抱怨別人。我相信一個(gè)道理，我告訴我的團(tuán)隊(duì)，我的伙伴，我們必須證明自己，因?yàn)槿?/span>

果我們能成功，那80%的年輕人就都能夠成功。我們沒有有錢的父親，有權(quán)的叔叔，我們

沒有從政府拿過一塊錢，沒有從銀行拿過一塊錢，我們從零開始。所以我必須努力工作，不

僅是證明我們自己，也是證明我們這代人，證明互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的力量。這就是我想和年輕人分享的。

In the past fifteen years, in working, I called mylf a blind man riding on the back

of a blind tiger. Tho experts riding on hors all failed. We survived becau we

worry about the future. We believe in the future. We change ourlves. We never

complain about others. I believe one thing and I told my team, my partner that we

have to prove ourlves becau if we can be successful, eighty percent of young

people can be successful. We haven't got a rich father; We haven't got a powerful

uncle; We haven't got one dollar from the government; We haven't got one dollar

from the banks. We start from zero. We have to work hard, not to prove ourlves

but to prove our generation and to prove Internet power. This is what I want to

share with young people.

另一個(gè)我深深相信的事情是，小就是美。如果沒有幫助小人物，那么我就用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)幫助小人

物。跨國公司被華爾街照顧得很好，只有小企業(yè)沒有任何人幫助他們。如果我們?yōu)樗麄儎?chuàng)造

價(jià)值，那我們就會成功。我們的哲學(xué)是如果你幫助別人成功，你就會成功。我不需要多說，

我一直是相信未來的人，相信年輕人，相信創(chuàng)新。

And the other thing I believe is small is beautiful. If nobody help the small guys, we

can u Internet to help the small guys. Multinational companies are taken care by

Wall Street. Only small business have nobody to take care. If we can create value

for them, then we can success. Our philosophy is also this: if you can help others be

successful and you will be successful. I don't want to talk more but I believe in the

future, believe in young people, and believe in innovation.

今天我還想談?wù)撘患虑椋?/span>就像秘書長說的，今天的世界麻煩很多。今天世界上充滿了抱怨。

我在20多歲的時(shí)候也抱怨。微軟、IBM、思科，他們是大企業(yè)而我們是無助的小公司因?yàn)?/span>

他們太大了。那時(shí)，我們也抱怨過。但是現(xiàn)在我不再抱怨了，因?yàn)槲覀円沧兂纱蠹一镏涣恕?/span>

我想告訴年輕人的是，如果大部分人都在抱怨，那就是機(jī)會所在。有些人選擇抱怨，而有些

人選擇改變自己，幫助改變別人。機(jī)會就在那些被抱怨的地方。我永遠(yuǎn)相信這點(diǎn)，我們也是

這樣一步步走到今天。

Today, I want to say one thing like the cretary just said：the world is filled with

troubles. Today is a world of complain. I complain when I was twenty years old.

Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, they are big companies. We are hopeless becau they are

too big. We complained, but now I never complain becau I have a big one too.

What I want to tell the young people is when most people complain, there's the

opportunity is. Some people started to complain, some people started to change

themlves and some changed others. Where the opportunity is where the

complain start. Where's the trouble, where's the opportunity. I always believe that.

and this is how I go through.

最后也是最重要的一個(gè)事情，那就是在座的所有人都會被送一件T恤。這是一件特別的阿

里巴巴IPO 的限量版T恤。所有這些T恤都是小人物制造。這就是個(gè)小人物，小就是美的，

小就有力量。印在T恤上的是很少人知道的阿里巴巴成功密碼，就像芝麻開門一樣。阿里

巴巴有一個(gè)密碼，那就是”夢想要有的，萬一有天實(shí)現(xiàn)了呢？這就是阿里巴巴成功的密碼，

非常感謝！

The last very important thing is I want to give you a T-shirt, another T-shirt. This

T-shirt is the special edition for Alibaba IPO. They are all made by small guys. This is

the small guy. Small is beautiful and small is powerful. But in this T-shirt, very few

people know that we have a cret code about Alibaba success just like Open

Sesame. The cret code for everybody is keeping your dream alive becau it

might come true someday. This is where the cret code is , thank you very much!
