Again, the metaphore that I have been talking about throughout the course: the seed — what happens to a seed if we don't water it?
再次說明，我一直在課堂上用這個比喻：種子——如果我們不給它澆水，它會怎樣?
If we don't shed a light on it?
如果我們不讓陽光照射它，它會怎么樣?
What happens to that seed is that it withers and dies. And that, unfortunately, is the fate of most human potential.
這種子就會凋萎死去。很可惜，人類的大部分潛力就是這樣被扼殺的
Most relationship potential. Most countries.
大部份戀情和國家的潛力
And if we want it to grow, want it to blossom, we have to shed a light on it. We have to water it.
如果我們想它成長，想它開花，我們就要讓陽光照射它，給它澆水
This is exactly what Marva Collins did with the seed of greatness that existed in every one of her students.
瑪瓦·柯林斯正是這樣對待她每個學生，身上的偉大的種子
This is what the Pygmalion, the classic experiment showed,
在經典的皮格馬利翁實驗中我們看到
was that when teachers were made to focus on the potential in those individuals who were deemed "fast spurters".
當老師的專注投在那些被挑為"潛力生"的潛力上時
When they were made to focus on it, to shed a light on— when a light is shed on their potential, that's when the children grew.
當老師專注于他們時，就等于投射了陽光——當陽光投射在他們的潛力上時，這些學生就開始變聰明
That's when they fulfilled much more of their potential.
他們的潛力就發揮得更充分
So how do we correct the false schema?
那我們怎么改變這種錯誤的思維呢?
What do we do about it? Let me share with you something on the societal level, something on the individual level.
我們該怎么做？我跟大家說一些社會層面上的做法，和一些個人層面上的做法
On the societal level, create good news.
在社會層面上，我們可以創造好消息
Not enough of it around. Now people say it's not marketable, it's boring- well, OK. A lot of it is not marketable.
現在對好消息的報道不夠，有人說這好消息沒市場，很無聊，沒錯，有很多是沒市場
Part of it is because it is the norm, it's the usual.
部分原因是因為好事太平淡無奇了
