每年数亿小时浪费于商务演讲。为何会浪费?大多数演讲者都未问一下为什么。这真是十足的丑闻!问题是,演讲人和听演讲人没意识到错误。在全世界范围内,公司礼仪似乎都盲目地要求演讲人站在投影仪旁,忍受消极听众的叹气。很少人能明智地(或者有勇气)在开始演讲前坐下来做个计划并问“为什么”。结果呢、就是时间长达数亿小时毫无用处、单调沉闷、自我辩解式的演讲。聪明人在行动前会问七遍为什么:我为什么要做这次演讲?提供信息?娱乐别人?兜售我的观点?引起争论?执行我的职能?填补日程安排上的空缺?捍卫一个立场?不管答案是什么,不断地以别的方式问“为什么”:我希望达到的目的是什么?
Hundreds of millions of hours are wasted in business lectures each year. Why waste? Most speakers did not ask why. This is a really scandal! The problem is that the speaker and the speaker are not aware of the error. Worldwide, corporate etiquette seems to blindly ask the speaker to stand next to the projector and endure the negative sighs of the audience. Few people can be wisely (or courageously) to sit down and plan a course before starting a speech and ask “why.” As a result, it is a monotonous, self-justifying speech that is worthless for hundreds of millions of hours. Wise people ask seven times before acting Why: Why should I do this speech? Providing information? Entertaining others? Touting my point of view? Controversial? Performing my function? Filling schedule vacancies? Defending a position? What is the answer, constantly asking something else? “Why?”: What do I want to achieve?
