四、Life Answering Machine
Why the secret to success is setting the right goals
成功的秘诀：设定正确的目标
We're at a critical moment. Our leaders, some of our great institutions are failing us. Why? In some cases, it's because they're bad or unethical, but often, they've taken us to the wrong objectives. And this is unacceptable. This has to stop. How are we going to correct these wrongs? How are we going to choose the right course? It's not going to be easy.
我们正处在一个关键时刻。我们的领导者，一些重要的机构正在辜负我们的期待。为什么？在某些案例中，因为他们心怀不轨或违背了职业道德，但通常是因为他们把我们带向了错误的目标。而这是让人无法接受的。这样的情况应当到此为止。我们该如何纠正这些错误？我们该如何选择正确的道路？这并非易事。
For years, I've worked with talented teams and they've chosen the right objectives and the wrong objectives. Many have succeeded, others of them have failed. And today I'm going to share with you what really makes a difference -- that's what's crucial, how and why they set meaningful and audacious goals, the right goals for the right reasons.
多年来我一直在与杰出的团队共事，他们或在正确的道路上前进，或选错了目标而事与愿违。许多目标成功达成了，有些则遭遇了失败。今天我要和你分享的是真正能够带来改变的事情——即问题的关键所在，他们为何以及如何制定出有意义的、大胆的目标，即有正当理由的，正确的目标。
Let's go back to 1975. Yep, this is me. I've got a lot to learn, I'm a computer engineer, I've got long hair, but I'm working under Andy Grove, who's been called the greatest manager of his or any other era. Andy was a superb leader and also a teacher, and he said to me,
让我们回到1975年。没错，这就是我。当时我是个计算机工程师，还有很多东西要学。我留着长发，在安迪·葛洛夫手下工作，在任何时代，他都称得上是最伟大的管理者。安迪不仅是一流的领导者，也是一名导师。他曾对我说：
John, it almost doesn't matter what you know. Execution is what matters the most. And so Andy invented a system called Objectives and Key Results. It kind of rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? And it's all about excellent execution. So here's a classic video from the 1970s of professor Andy Grove.
“约翰，你所知道的东西并不重要，执行才是最重要的。”安迪发明了一个系统，称为“目标和关键成果法”。听起来是不是有点绕口？其核心全在于出色的执行。以下是一段1970年代的经典录像，录像里出现的就是安迪·葛洛夫教授。
Andy Grove: The two key phrases of the management by objective systems are the objectives and the key results, and they match the two purposes. The objective is the direction. The key results have to be measured, but at the end you can look and without any argument say, Did I do that, or did I not do that? Yes. No. Simple.
安迪·葛洛夫：这种目标管理的两个关键词是“目标”和“关键成果”，它们分别对应着两个目的：目标是方向，关键成果需要得到评估，但是最终结果显而易见，根本不需要出现“我做了这个吗，或者根本没做？”那样的争论，是或否，就是这么简单。
John Doerr: That's Andy. Yes. No. Simple. Objectives and Key Results, or OKRs, are a simple goal-setting system and they work for organizations, they work for teams, they even work for individuals. The objectives are what you want to have accomplished. The key results are how I'm going to get that done. Objectives. Key results. What and how.
约翰·杜尔：这就是安迪。是或否，就是这么简单。目标和关键成果法也称为OKRs，是一个简单的目标制定方法。它适用于组织还有团队，甚至也适用于个人。目标就是你想实现的事情，关键成果是你要如何达成目标。目标，以及关键成果，就是要做什么和如何实现。
