我的想法

My big idea is a very, very small idea that can unlock billions of big ideas that are at the moment
dormant inside us.
我的想法是一个非常非常小的想法，但它可以解锁数十亿的此刻在我们内心休眠的大想法。

This is a room of type-A women. This is a room of sleep-deprived women. And I learned the hard
way, the value of sleep. Two-and-a-half years ago, I fainted from exhaustion. I hit my head on my
desk. I broke my cheekbone, I got five stitches on my right eye. And I began the journey of
rediscovering the value of sleep. And in the course of that, I studied, I met with medical doctors,
scientists, and I'm here to tell you that the way to a more productive, more inspired, more joyful
life is getting enough sleep.
这是一个A型女人的房间。这是一个睡眠不足的女人的房间。我艰难地明白了睡眠的价值。
两年半前， 我因过度劳累而晕倒。我的头撞在桌子上，我的脸颊破了，我的右眼缝了五针。
我开始重新探索睡眠的价 值。在这过程中，我做了研究，我见了医生、科学家，现在我来告
诉你，更高效、更有启发性、更快乐的 生活方式，是获得足够的睡眠。

And we women are going to lead the way in this new revolution, this new feminist issue. We are
literally going to sleep our way to the top, literally.
我们女性能引领这场新革命，这种新的女权问题。我们能真正地想睡就睡，真正地。

Because unfortunately for men, sleep deprivation has become a virility symbol(男性象征). I was
recently having dinner with a guy who bragged(吹牛，自夸) that he had only gotten four hours
sleep the night before. And I felt like saying to him -- but I didn't say it -- I felt like saying,
know what? If you had gotten five, this dinner would have been a lot more interesting.
因为对于男人来说不幸的是，睡眠不足已成为一个男子气概的象征。我最近 和一个人共进晚
餐，他吹牛说他前一晚只睡了四个小时。我想跟他说——但是我没说——我想说：“你知 道
吗？如果你睡了五个小时，这顿饭会更有趣。”

There is now a kind of sleep deprivation one-upmanship. Especially here in Washington, if you try
to make a breakfast date, and you say,
o'clock is too late for me, but that's okay, I can get a game of tennis in and do a few conference
calls and meet you at they think that means that they are so incredibly busy and
productive, but the truth is they're not, because we, at the moment, have had brilliant leaders in
business, in finance, in politics, making terrible decisions. So a high I.Q. does not mean that
you're a good leader, because the essence of leadership is being able to see the iceberg before it
hits the Titanic. And we've had far too many icebergs hitting our Titanics.
现在有一种睡眠不足的攀比风气。特别是在华盛顿， 如果你试图安排一次早餐约会，你说：
“八点怎么样？”他们可能会告诉你：“八点对我来说太晚了，不 过没关系，我可以打一场
网球和参加一些电话会议，然后在八点见你。”他们认为这意味着他们是如此令 人难以置信
地忙碌而有效率，但事实是他们没有，因为此刻我们有才华横溢的商业、金融和政治领袖，< br>在做出糟糕的决定。如此高的智商并不意味着你是一个好的领导者，因为领导的本质是能够
