A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
思考
Thinking
If you want people to perform better, you reward them, right? Bonuses, commissions, their own reality show. Incentivize them.But that’s not happening here. You’ve got an incentive designed to sharpen thinking and accelerate creativity, and it does just the opposite. It dulls thinking and blocks creativity.
如果你想让人们表现得更好,你就奖励他们,对吧?奖金,佣金,他们自己的真人秀。激励他们。但这并没有发生在这里。你的动机是为了提高思维和加速创造力,而它的作用恰恰相反。它使思维迟钝,阻碍创造力。
He's a great pitcher. He's a Hall of Fame pitcher. But he's got to throw the ball over the plate and we have to try to hit it. If he makes a mistake, we have to hit it, not miss it. We have to find a way to get deep into the game and get deep into the pitch count and get him out. It's not going to be an easy task.
他是一个伟大的投手。他是名人堂的投手。但是他必须把球扔过本垒板,我们必须试着去击球。如果他犯了错误,我们必须抓住它,而不是错过它。我们必须想办法深入到比赛中,深入到球场上,把他救出来。这不是一件容易的事。
