I worked extremely hard, in fact my motto has become, one that I got from Professor Richard Hackman, as my thesis advisor as an undergrad here.
我非常努力,实际上我的座右铭来自理查德·哈克曼教授,他是我在这里读本科时的论文导师
And, what he said, he's a phenomenal teacher, and what he said when he goes into a classroom is the following:
他是一个非凡的教师,他走进教室后会说
prepare, prepare, prepare, and then be spontaneous.
准备,再准备……然后顺其自然
So I followed his advise, now I read over my notes, I have all the notes written down and then I can let go.
所以我遵照他的建议,我仔细看教案,我准备好所有教案,然后不再去想它
So I prepare a lot, I have the hard work, not a problem.

But I lacked the third thing, I lacked optimism, and I lacked confidence. And then I asked myself:
但我缺少第三样,缺少乐观,缺少自信,我问我自己
how can I raise the third components because it is important component of wellbeing, remember the research on athletes?
我要怎样提高第三个要素,因为这是幸福的一个重要部分,记得对运动员的研究吗?

Remember the John Carter study? Twenty years along when you look at Harvard Business School graduates,
还记得约翰·卡特二十年前的研究吗?关于哈佛大学商学院毕业生的
one of the two components that differentiated the most successful from the rest, one of them was belief in themselves, confidence.
将最成功的学生和其他人区分开的两要素之一,一个是相信自己,自信
It's an important component of success and I lacked it.
这是成功的一个重要因素,而我缺少它
So what did I do? I went back and thought about what happened when I played squash, what my coaches used to teach me, and that was visualization.
