特朗普的成功学——从富翁到总统的跨越

2017-12-11  本文已影响0人  卓青歌

之前一直想着要看特朗普的畅销书,但是没来得及,最近总算抽空读完了。

最近的G20汉堡峰会,特朗普倒是没有什么大新闻。不过,众所周知,他在照相时被安排在了边上的位置。

对这一解读众说纷纭,当然大家也愿意理解为特朗普行事作风特立独行,在一众领导人中显得格格不入。毕竟,他骨子里还是一个商人。

插播特朗普今年春季和主席会面之后的几个有意思的事情。他先是表示不再将中国列入汇率操纵国

接着外媒表示两国之间关系友好

尤其是,特朗普盛赞和主席聊得非常愉快

great chemistry: 发生了化学反应,这里应该是指关系好带来的反应

We like each other. I like him a lot.

然后夸赞了主席和夫人

He’s so smart. It’s to his advantage. I like to call it flexible.

I think his wife is terrific.

下面,表示自己不认识普京

I don’t know Putin. I don’t know Putin.

这种行事和说话的风格,和他早年就倡导的理念一脉相承,也从他早年自传中可以窥见一斑。

值得一提的是,特朗普把书的扉页留给了自己的父母

to my parents: 致父母

特朗普整本书走的是“白居易”风格,语句简单易懂,很适合平日读。这可能也是这本书畅销的原因之一——大众化。

我挑出了特朗普认为在他成功之路上非常有助益的一些理念,供大家参考。

---------------

Don't do it for money

不为钱,只为做

I don't do it for the money.

I do it to do it.

十分霸气侧漏,我只为“做”而做,不为“钱”而做。当然也可能是他不缺钱……

Think Big

敢于想象

Most people think small,...

读这一段的时候,脑海中不自觉地浮现出了“一个亿”的小目标,看来think big(大胆想象)是中西商界通行的。

Protect the Downside and the Upside Will Take Care of Itself

扬长避短

People think I’m a gambler. I’ve never gambled in my life.

It’s been said that I believe in the power of positive thinking. In fact, I believe in the power of negative thinking. I happen to be very conservative in business. I always go into the deal anticipating the worst. If you plan for the worst—if you can live with the worst—the good will always take care of itself.

人们认为我是个赌徒,但我一生却从未打过赌。

人们都说我是主动进攻型,恰恰在决策时我小心谨慎,十分保守。

在做一项生意时,我永远先做最坏的打算。如果为承受最坏的结局做好了准备,那么好的消息便会接踵而来,理想的结局就会自然而然地出现。

Maximize your Option

留有余地

I also protect myself by being flexible. I never get too attached to one deal or one approach.

我始终给自己留有余地。我从不太执着于一项交易或者一种方法。

Know your Market

了解市场

I do my own surveys and draw my own conclusions

I’m a great believer in asking everyone for an opinion before I make a decision.

I ask and I ask and I ask, until I begin to get a gut feeling about something. And that’s when I make a decision.

我的办法是在做出一个决定前,先问问每个人的意见。

Use Your Leverage

巧使手段

The best thing you can do is deal from strength, and leverage is the biggest strength you can have. Leverage is having something the other guy wants. Or better yet, needs. Or best of all, simply can’t do without.

最有效的方式是用实力做生意,而手段则是最大的实力。手段就是需要,最好的解释是:你所具有的别人想要而没有的东西。

Get the Word Out

重视宣传

You need to generate interest, and you need to create excitement.

One thing I’ve learned about the press is that they’re always hungry for a good story, and the more sensational the better.

I’ve always done things a little differently, I don’t mind controversy…Also, I achieved a lot when I was very young, and I chose to live in a certain style. The result is that the press has always wanted to write about me.

The final key to the way I promote is bravado...I call it truthful hyperbole. It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.

你要做的,是引起大家的注意和兴趣,要展开激动人心的宣传。

记者们总是对好的新闻如饥似渴,而且越是耸人听闻,他们的兴趣就越大。

我做事总有点儿与众不同,我不在乎有争议……我在很年轻时就已取得了很大的成绩,我选择了一种有个性的生活方式。结果,新闻界总想写我的报道。

我做宣传的最后一把钥匙是虚张声势……我把它称为真实的夸张,这种无罪的夸大,恰恰正是一种极有效的宣传形式。

Deliver the Goods

货真价实

You can’t con people, at least not for long... But if you don’t deliver the goods, people will eventually catch on.

你不能欺骗人们,至少不能长时间欺骗。如果你的货不真价不实,人们最后总会明白过来。

Contain the Costs

控制开支

I believe in spending what you have to. But I also believe in not spending more than you should.

我认为该花的钱必须要花,但不该花的钱一分也不应该多花。

Have Fun

保持兴趣

I’ve had a very good time making them.

我在为我的事业奋斗的过程中,过得很愉快。

(身在其中,并且乐在其中)

--------------------

美国人民还将这本书制作了同名电影并搬上了荧幕,还是海盗船长Deep主演,做成了80年代的效果来讽刺特朗普,可以一看

另外,这本《交易的艺术》(The Art of the Deal)的中英文版本和同名讽刺电影都已放入网盘链接中(https://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrDSdrm),欢迎大家前往围观。

周末快乐!
