I would not suggest that anyone move beyond feeling confident into arrogance or boastfulness.
我并非建議大家過(guò)分自信以致傲慢或自負(fù)。
No one likes that in men or women.
不管是男人還是女人，如果表現(xiàn)出這一點(diǎn)，人們都不會(huì)喜歡。
But feeling confident—or pretending that you feel confident—is necessary to reach for opportunities.
但感覺(jué)自信或假裝自信，對(duì)于爭(zhēng)取生活中的機(jī)會(huì)是必要的。
It's a cliche, but opportunities are rarely offered; they're seized.
這是老調(diào)重彈了，但機(jī)會(huì)的確會(huì)青睞那些積極爭(zhēng)取機(jī)會(huì)的人。
During the six and a half years I worked at Google, I hired a team of four thousand employees.
我在谷歌工作的6年半時(shí)間里，雇用了一個(gè)4000人的團(tuán)隊(duì)。
I did not know all of them personally, but I knew the top hundred or so.
我并不認(rèn)識(shí)每一個(gè)人，但我知道其中處于最高層職位的有100多人。
What I noticed over the years was that for the most part, the men reached for opportunities much more quickly than the women.
我注意到，一般情況下，就積極爭(zhēng)取機(jī)會(huì)而言，男性比女性行動(dòng)得更快。
When we announced the opening of a new office or the launch of a new project,
當(dāng)我們宣布有新的空缺職位或是開(kāi)始新項(xiàng)目時(shí)，
the men were banging down my door to explain why they should lead the charge.
男員工們都一個(gè)個(gè)來(lái)敲我辦公室的門，毛遂自薦，向我解釋為什么他們是新的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職位的最佳人選。
Men were also more likely to chase a growth opportunity even before a new opening was announced.
即使在一項(xiàng)新的空缺職位產(chǎn)生前，男性也更有可能去嘗試獲得成長(zhǎng)的機(jī)會(huì)。
They were impatient about their own development and believed that they were capable of doing more.
他們對(duì)自己的發(fā)展總是急不可耐，相信自己有能力做得更多。
And they were often right—just like my brother.
他們常常是對(duì)的，就像我弟弟一樣。
The women, however, were more cautious about changing roles and seeking out new challenges.
以我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)而言，女性對(duì)于角色變化、尋求新的挑戰(zhàn)則更為謹(jǐn)慎。
I often found myself trying to persuade them to work in new areas.
我常常發(fā)現(xiàn)自己總是在試圖說(shuō)服她們進(jìn)入新的領(lǐng)域工作。
I have had countless conversations where women responded to this encouragement by saying, "I'm just not sure I'd be good at that."
我已經(jīng)和女性員工有過(guò)多次談話，她們對(duì)我的鼓勵(lì)通常作此回應(yīng)：“我在這方面可能不是很擅長(zhǎng)”，
Or "That sounds exciting, but I've never done anything like it before." Or "I still have a lot to learn in my current role."
“這項(xiàng)新工作聽(tīng)上去很令人興奮，但我沒(méi)有類似的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)”，或“現(xiàn)在的工作中我還有許多要學(xué)習(xí)的”。
I rarely, if ever, heard these kinds of comments from men.
印象中我似乎從沒(méi)與男員工有過(guò)這樣的對(duì)話。
