And Warren Bennis wrote a book, which is called "Geeks and Geezers".
沃伦·本尼斯写了一本书 名叫做《极客与怪杰》
And in the book, he compared very successful leaders who were young,
在这本书里 他将非常年轻的顶多30岁出头的
early 30s and older generation leaders, people who have really made it,
年轻成功人士和老一代的 真正有所成就的划时代领袖人物
big time leaders who are now in their 70s and 80s, sometimes 90s.
他们多在七十岁 八十岁甚至九十岁以上
And he compared these two groups: the geeks-the young ones; the geezers, the older ones.
他将两组人进行了对比 极客 指那些年轻的 怪杰 指年长的
And what he found was that there were a number of very interesting and meaningful differences
而他发现 有一些非常有趣
between the generations of again highly successful late 20s or early 30 years old
同时也很有意义的差异 存在于年轻的二十多到三十出头的成功人士
and highly successful older individuals.
和年长的成功领袖人物之间
One of the most notable differences was that work...work life balance,
其中最明显的差异就是 工作与生活的平衡
which is very important for the late 20s, early 30s.
这对于年轻的成功人士来说非常重要
Very important-they talked about it constantly, whereas for the
非常重要 他们自己也经常谈论这个
70 80 90 year olds, it was almost a foreign concept.
但是对于年老一代的成功人士那里 这几乎完全就是一个外来观念
What does that even mean? Why? Because they were at work usually 24/7.
这是什么意思啊 为什么会这样呢 因为他们总是处在工作中
All of them in that sample were men.
在那个样本中所有人都是男性
And the women were at home, taking care of the life part.
而女性则待在家里 负责生活的部分
So there was a work life balance-where they were doing the work, the wives were doing the life.
所以说他们的工作与生活的平衡是 丈夫负责工作 妻子负责照顾生活
Whereas the younger generation, men and women in that sample
在年轻成功人士的样本里 男女都有
and talking about the work life balance. There are a few other differences as well,
那他们自然会谈论到工作与生活的平衡 两代人之间还有其它的不同
but there is one similarity, one thing that was common to both groups.
但是也有一个相同点 这一点对于两代人来说都是一样的
