my generation really, sadly, is not going to change the numbers at the top. they're just not moving. we are not going to get to where 50 percent of the population — in my generation, there will not be 50 percent of [women] at the top of any industry. but i'm hopeful that future generations can. i think a world where half of our countries and our companies were run by women, would be a better world. it's not just because people would know where the women's bathrooms are, even though that would be very helpful.i think it would be a better world. i have two children. i have a five-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. i want my son to have a choice to contribute fully in the workforce or at home, and i want my daughter to have the choice to not just succeed, but to be liked for her accomplishments.

life is a mirror. if we smile to her, she would also return the happinessto us. but if we cry, she would be disappointed. therefore, we should bepositive toward life, so as to get happiness.

actually, happiness is everywhere if we keep a good attitude. as we keep agood mood, our world will be a sunny land, which is resounded with soft music.however, if we are pessimists, we'll find our world is full of darkness.

while on the other side, happiness is not a destination but a journey.because there's no paradise at all, but we can make a paradise if we'rehard-working and intelligent. so we should work like we don't need money, smilelike we've never been hurt, and perform ourselves like no one can see us.

生活就是一面镜子。如果我们对她微笑，她也会回报我们幸福。但如果我们哭泣，她会很失望。因此，我们应该积极的态度对待生活，从而得到幸福。

其实，如果我们保持良好的心态幸福无处不在。如果我们保持一个好心情，我们的世界将是一个充满阳光的地方，充满了柔和的音乐。然而，如果我们是悲观主义者，我们会发现我们的世界充满了黑暗。

而另一方面，幸福不是目的地，而是一段旅程。因为根本就没有天堂，但如果我们勤劳有智慧，我们可以自己弄一个天堂。所以我们应该就像我们不需要钱一样工作，就像从未受伤过一样微笑，就像没有人能看到我们一样表演。

hi. im here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and having it be specific and genuine.

and the way i got interested in this was, i noticed in myself, when i was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that i would want to say thank you to someone, i would want to praise them, i would want to take in their praise of me and id just stop it. and i asked myself, why? i felt shy, i felt embarrassed. and then my question became, am i the only one who does this? so, i decided to investigate.

im fortunate enough to work in the rehab facility, so i get to see people who are facing life and death with addiction. and sometimes it comes down to something as simple as, their core wound is their father died without ever saying hes proud of them. but then, they hear from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of him, but he never told the son. its because he didnt know that his son needed to hear it.

so my question is, why dont we ask for the things that we need? i know a gentleman, married for 25 years, whos longing to hear his wife say, "thank you for being the breadwinner, so i can stay home with the kids," but wont ask. i know a woman whos good at this. she, once a week, meets with her husband and says, "id really like you to thank me for all these things i did in the house and with the kids." and he goes, "oh, this is great, this is great." and praise really does have to be genuine, but she takes responsibility for that. and a friend of mine, april, who ive had since kindergarten, she thanks her children for doing their chores. and she said, "

but before i show you what’s inside,

i will tell you that’s going to do incredible things for you .

it will bring all of your family together.

you will feel loved and appreciated like never before.

and reconnect to friends and acquaintances you haven’t heard from in years.

adoration and admiration will overwhelm you.

it will recalibrate what’s important in your life.

it will redefine your sense of spirituality and faith.

you’ll have a new understanding and trust in your body.

you’ll have unsurpassed vitality and energy.

you’ll expand your vocabulary, meet new people, and you’ll have a healthier lifestyle. and get this, you’ll have an eight-week vacation of doing absolutely nothing.

you’ll eat countless gourmet meals.

flowers will arrive by the truck load.

people will say to you: “you look great! have you had any work done?”

and you’ll have a life-time supply of good drugs.

you’ll be challenged, inspired, motivated and humbled.

your life will have new meaning: peace, health, serenity, happiness, nirvana.

the price?

fifty-five thousand dollars.

and that’s an incredible deal.

by now, i know you’re dying to know what it is and where you can get one.

does amazon carry it?

dose it have the apple logo on it?

is there a waiting list?

not likely.

this gift came to me about five months ago.

and looked more like this when it was all wrapped up.

not quite so pretty.

and this.

and then this.

it was a rare jam.

a brain tumor.

hemangioblastoma.

the gift that keeps on giving.

and while i’m ok now.

i wouldn’t wish this gift for you.

i’m not sure you’d want it.

but i would’t change my experience.

it profoundly altered my life in ways it didn’t expect.

in all the ways i just shared with you.

so the next time you are faced with something that’s unexpected, unwanted and uncertain. consider that it just may be a gift.

so for any of us in this room today, let's start out by admitting we're lucky. we don't live in the world our mothers lived in, our grandmothers lived in, where career choices for women were so limited. and if you're in this room today, most of us grew up in a world where we have basic civil rights, and amazingly, we still live in a world where some women don't have them.but all that aside, we still have a problem,and it's a real problem. and the problem is this: women are not making it to the top of any professionanywhere in the world. the numbers tell the story quite clearly. 190 heads of state — nine are women. of all the people in parliament in the world, 13 percent are women. in the corporate sector, women at the top, c-level jobs, board seats — tops out at 15, 16 percent. the numbers have not moved since and are going in the wrong direction. and even in the non-profit world, a world we sometimes think of as being led by more women, women at the top: 20 percent.

the problem is that — let's say she got pregnant that day, that day — nine months of pregnancy, three months of maternity leave, six months to catch your breath — fast-forward two years, more often — and as i've seen it — women start thinking about this way earlier — when they get engaged, or married, when they start thinking about having a child, which can take a long time. one woman came to see me about this. she looked a little young. and i said, "so are you and your husband thinking about having a baby?" and she said, "oh no, i'm not married." she didn't even have a boyfriend.

good morning everyone,today is my turn to the speech. can money buyhappiness?can money buy happiness? different people have different opinions.some think yes, while others hold the opposite.it is true that with enough moneyone can buy all the things one wants, and live a life of comfort and security.however, it is equally true that lack of money causes great distress. it is acommon view that "money is the root of all evil." the pursuit of money drivesmany people to cheat and steal. in some places there is nothing that cannot bebought with money, resulting in corrupt societies where everybody ismiserable.so, money does not necessarily mean happiness. it all depends on howit is used. if we make honest and sensible use of money, it can be astepping-stone to happiness l although money cannot buy happiness, it can makehappiness possible if it is employed sensibly.

in 20xx — not so long ago — a professor who was then at columbia university took that case and made it [howard] roizen. and he gave the case out, both of them, to two groups of students. he changed exactly one word: "heidi" to "howard." but that one word made a really big difference. he then surveyed the students, and the good news was the students, both men and women, thought heidi and howard were equally competent, and that's good.the bad news was that everyone liked howard. he's a great guy. you want to work for him. you want to spend the day fishing with him. but heidi? not so sure. she's a little out for herself. she's a little political.you're not sure you'd want to work for her. this is the complication. we have to tell our daughters and our colleagues, we have to tell ourselves to believe we got the a, to reach for the promotion, to sit at the table, and we have to do it in a world where, for them, there are sacrifices they will make for that, even though for their brothers, there are not. the saddest thing about all of this is that it's really hard to remember this. and i'm about to tell a story which is truly embarrassing for me, but i think important.

i think the cause is more complicated. i think, as a society, we put more pressure on our boys to succeedthan we do on our girls. i know men that stay home and work in the home to support wives with careers,and it's hard. when i go to the mommy-and-me stuff and i see the father there, i notice that the other mommies don't play with him. and that's a problem, because we have to make it as important a job,because it's the hardest job in the world to work inside the home, for people of both genders, if we're going to even things out and let women stay in the workforce. studies show that households with equal earning and equal responsibility also have half the divorce rate.and if that wasn't good enough motivation for everyone out there, they also have more — how shall i say this on this stage?
