So about 10 to 14 times a week, I get an email or somebody stops me in the street literally
每周大约有10-14次,我会收到邮件或是在大街上被人拦下,是真的被拦下,
and say Gary, you always talk about working so much, the hustle, all the hours you need to put in.
他们问我说加里,你总是在说要努力,要花时间和精力。
Well hey man, I know working hard is great but I work smart. That's why I'm gonna win just as much
但朋友,我当然知道努力工作非常可贵,但我的工作是非常懂得方法的,所以我一样会非常成功,
and I always say to them why not both? Why not working smart all the time and hustling cause people that really crush are doing that.
我经常告诉他们为什么两样都要? 为什么不一边努力工作,一边寻找工作技巧,因为这是许多失败的人正在经历的过程。
You know you're working smart and hard. Why not both?
你需要一边努力,一边寻找方法,为什么鱼和熊掌不可以兼得呢?
A couple days ago, I started talking about the fact that I'm tripling down on content
几天前,我说我要向观众朋友提供更多的内容,
and there was a Forbes article written about this whole situation. Now I get a little bit taken out of hand
《福布斯》里有一篇文章专门报道了此事,我现在是有点忙不过来了,
like somebody followed me around literally 24 hours a day. I wish I was that cool.
就像有人24小时无时无刻都在跟着我一样,我希望我是真有魅力。
Steve, you know you don't have to follow me 24 hours a day. You go with that? It's ok. Yeah.
史蒂夫,你不需要整天都跟着我,明白吗? 我没问题。
But the fact of the matter is I am tripling down on content and that's because
我确实也在增加我的节目量,那是因为
the reason I have to work with somebody like awesome Steve over here is because I'm not good at running down
我能够和非常优秀的史蒂夫一起共事,因为我不太擅长把我想说的
my thoughts or recording my thoughts and so getting a call at the end of the day
写下来或是记录下来,每天晚上我会接到电话,
and recapping was there any good content is really important thing to me. I do think content is a barrier of entry.
然后将好的内容概括一遍,我觉得这样做对我来说特别重要,这些东西一定能够帮助你轻松地进入这一行业。
Scott Monty wrote a great piece on his blog, kind of talking about this idea of me having 24 hours a day like how this was terrible.
思考特·孟迪在他的博客上写了一篇非常好的文章,他谈论了我每天的工作内容,说我这么做太糟糕了。
He's right. I think I did a poor job communicating to Dorian Forbes about what I was actually doing,
他说的是对的,关于我的一些事情,我确实和多里安的沟通比较少,
but that's not the interesting thing. That's not why I'm making a video. I'm making a video of why not both,
但这不是重点,这也不是我想讲的内容,今天这个节目的主题是为什么两样都要,
why not work hard and smart equaling huge results and why not if you look at Scott's blog post,
为什么不一边努力工作,一边聪明地工作,这样你的成效会更明显,如果你看一下思考特的博客你就知道,
which is really smart where he says wait a minute, this is the worst thing ever. I love Gary but this is a bad idea
他讲得特别好,他说你知道吗,这么做糟糕透顶了,我喜欢加里,但这个想法太差劲了,
because what the world definitely doesn't need is more content, what we need is quality not quantity.
因为这个世界不需要太多内容,需要的是质量不是数量。
He is 100 percent right but there's two problems. Number one: nobody's gonna care. Here's what I mean.
他说得特别对,但这有两个问题,第一就是没人会在乎,听我给你解释。
Quantity is coming my friends. Last year, 380 billion pictures were taken and that is 10 percent of all the pictures taken ever.
数量正在逐渐增加,去年互联网的照片量为3800亿张,这一数字占据了所有照片总量的10%。
Think about that for a second. So quantity is coming whether Scott or I or anybody else.
想一想朋友们,所以数量确实在增加,不管是思考特还是我,不管什么人不相信也不成。
And more importantly, who's the definer of quality? For example I don't want any Kat videos.
但最重要的是,质量的衡量标准是什么? 比如我不喜欢“Meerkat”视频。
I hate Kats. That's right. You heard it. I dislike them, not into them, though the internet loves Kats
我讨厌“Meerkat”,你们听见了啊,我不喜欢它的视频,但互联网喜欢“Meerkat”,
and so we all have different views of what quality is but that's not even the conversation.
所以我们对质量的定义是不一样的,但这不是重点。
The conversation is this I am devastated that so many things that I've wanted to communicate to my community
我感到困惑的是什么呢,其实我有许多想在节目中说,
or things that I wanted to interact with pass in my head and escape at the end of day.
或是与大家互动的,我想到过但一转眼就忘了。
I'm devastated that one of the people, by the way here's a little side note.
我困惑的是,还有我顺便说一下
The conversation you go to Scott Monty's blog which I'll link up right here between VCC Chapman
更多内容你可以查阅思考特的博客,我一会还要看一眼他的博客,
and Scott Monty shows the real power of Twitter and really is a whole another video in itself,
它的博客讲述了“推特”的强大力量,它的视频又是另一番景象,
which is we need to start respecting and communicating with each other instead of just flaming it out.
这就是为什么我们需要彼此尊重,彼此交流的原因。
I mean the conversation there really recaps why I think Twitter is incredible,
他的观点总结了我为什么说“推特”非常之强大的原因,
but being a little less teeny jumping back into my point. Why not both? Quality and quantity.
现在回到我们的话题上,质量和数量为什么不两样兼得?
Nobody would complain if Michael Jordan, I hate him with all my heart.
没人会抱怨迈克尔·乔丹是否会,顺便说一下我不是太喜欢他。
Nobody would have complained if he played another a couple of seasons in his prime.
如果乔丹能在鼎盛时期多打几个赛季,也没人会说什么。
Nobody would have complained if the Beatles put out a couple more albums. I think there's a really healthy debate of why not both.
如果披头士多出几张专辑,当然也不会有人说什么,我觉得对于鱼和熊掌兼得的话题特别好。
Quality and quantity. The quantity is gonna happen but there's a ton, a ton of quality being left every day
数量和质量,数量是一定会增加的,但我每天会损失许多质量,
because of unorganized people like myself that just let it go by. Don't write it down. Don't record it once you feel it
因为就比如说我,办事情没有条理,损失了许多质量,因为好的想法我不会写下来,或是记录下来,
and I have put in the infrastructure around those kind of organizations and people.
所以我就让别人或是一些组织来帮我做这些事情。
It's gonna be an interesting debate and I do think that's gonna happen,
这会是一次非常有意思的讨论,我认为一定是的,
so I'd love to see your thoughts on this I think it's a, I think it's a really interesting time for content
希望大家能够多多留言,这一定是一次关于内容的大讨论,
the, there definitely is way too much crap but I do think that a lot of people are leaving greatness on the table.
虽然我说了许多废话,但我觉得大家一定能够提出许多好的想法。
