We learn these really bad lessons really well.
我們很早就得到這些錯誤信息。
And a lot of us -- and I suspect, especially a lot of us in this room
而我們，尤其是這個大廳里的許多人，
deal with them by just becoming perfect little A students, perfectionists, over-achievers.
都因此成為好學(xué)生，拿全A、完美主義、永不滿意。
Right, Mr. CFO, astrophysicist, ultra-marathoner?
不是嗎？財務(wù)長、天體物理學(xué)家、超級馬拉松先生們？
You're all CFO, astrophysicists, ultra-marathoners, it turns out. Okay, so fine.
結(jié)果是你們?nèi)闪素攧?wù)長、天體物理學(xué)家、跑超級馬拉松。那很好。
Except that then we freak out at the possibility that we've gotten something wrong.
但一旦我們發(fā)現(xiàn)有可能犯錯，就開始手足無措。
Because according to this, getting something wrong means there's something wrong with us.
因為依照規(guī)定，犯錯代表我們一定也有什么不對勁。
So we just insist that we're right, because it makes us feel smart and responsible and virtuous and safe.
于是我們堅持己見，因為那讓我們感覺聰明、得體、安全和可靠。
So let me tell you a story. A couple of years ago, a woman comes into Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center for a surgery.
讓我告訴你們一個故事。幾年前，一個女人到Beth Israel Deaconess診所做手術(shù)。
Beth Israel's in Boston. It's the teaching hospital for Harvard -- one of the best hospitals in the country.
Beth Israel在波士頓。是哈佛大學(xué)的教學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院，全國數(shù)一數(shù)二的醫(yī)療中心。
So this woman comes in and she's taken into the operating room.
這個女人被送進(jìn)手術(shù)室。
She's anesthetized, the surgeon does his thing -- stitches her back up, sends her out to the recovery room.
麻醉，外科醫(yī)生做完手術(shù)，縫合，將她送進(jìn)恢復(fù)室。
Everything seems to have gone fine. And she wakes up,
一切看上去都很好。她醒來，
and she looks down at herself, and she says, "Why is the wrong side of my body in bandages?"
往自己身上一看，說“為甚么我的左腿綁著繃帶？”
Well the wrong side of her body is in bandages because the surgeon has performed a major operation on her left leg instead of her right one.
她應(yīng)該接受治療的是右腿，但為他做手術(shù)的外科醫(yī)生卻把刀開在左腿。
When the vice president for health care quality at Beth Israel spoke about this incident, he said something very interesting.
當(dāng)副院長出來為醫(yī)院的醫(yī)療質(zhì)量和這次意外做出解釋時，他說了句很有趣的話。
He said, "For whatever reason, the surgeon simply felt that he was on the correct side of the patient."
他說，“無論如何，這位外科醫(yī)生感覺他開下的刀是在正確的一側(cè)”。
The point of this story is that trusting too much in the feeling of being on the correct side of anything can be very dangerous.
故事的重點是，相信自己的判斷力，相信自己站在對的一邊，是非常危險的。
