I MUST CONFESS: if you'd told me three years ago, just before I was to embark on an adventure to business school in a faraway land,that I was going to come out the other side as the coauthor of a book ... well, I almost certainly would not have believed you.If you had told me that it was going to be a book based upon applying some of the most rigorous business theories in the world to finding happiness and fulfillment in life ... well, in that case, I might have even laughed.
It is funny how life works out sometimes.
The starting point for my acknowledgments most certainly has to be someone whom I feel incredibly lucky to be able to call a mentor and a friend: Clay Christensen.I can tell you that the path my life was on changed the very first day that I sat in class with Clay.After warning us that he learned the most from the classes at school he found the most difficult, he cold-called me (this is business school-speak for the unexpected and often difficult question at the start of a class). In a scene to be played out many times after,he patiently waited as I fumbled my way through,and then very gently made sure that we all truly understood the answer to the question he had asked. Repeat this for a semester—learning from a teacher who has a genuine interest and concern for everyone in the classroom,and who just happens to be one of the smartest people in the world- and by the end,I promise you,you will have learned a lot.Everything Clay does is driven by that genuine interest and concern for those around him.In the entire time I have known him,I have never seen it waver.It was there partway through the semester,when he was diagnosed with cancer— as soon as he could,he was straight back in class with us.It was overwhelmingly powerful on our last day of class,when he worked through with us the three questions that are contained within this book.His family was in the room at the time;none of us had any idea whether it was the last time he would be able to take that class.The only effect it seemed to have on him was to make him even more determined to help us.
我必须承认,在三年前我刚从遥远的地方来到哈佛商学院就读时,如果有人告诉我,我将在三年后与其他作者合作出版一本书,我一定不会相信。如果有人说,我们将把最严谨的商业理论应用在人生当中,并根据这些理论去找到人生的幸福与满足……我一定会哈哈大笑。
人生就是如此,有很多你意想不到的事情。
我之所以有这样的奇遇,实在要感谢我的良师、益友——克里斯坦森教授。从我坐在教室里听他上课的第一天开始,我的生命就有了变化。他在第一堂课就告诉我们,越困难的课学到的东西越多,然后“电”到我,(这是我们商学院的俚语,也就是老师在上课的时候突然提出一些很难的问题)。我边整理自己的思路边回答,结果说得支支吾吾,但克里斯坦森教授耐心地等我说完并仔细解释,确定我们都了解了答案,我们就这样上了一个学期。我何其有幸,跟这样一位老师学习,他不但是真正关心每一位学生的老师,也是全世界最有智慧的人,我可以保证,你一定能从他那里学到很多知识,他对周围的人总是抱着真诚的关心,在我认识他期间,他一贯如此,在学期中,他发现自己得了癌症,但还是尽可能回到课堂和我们在一起。他在最后一堂课跟我们分享他的感悟,并在课堂上与我们讨论本书提到的几个人生课题。他的家人也来到我们的课堂上,我们都不知道这是不是他在哈佛为学生上的最后一堂课。癌症对他的影响使他更加下定决心,要帮助我们。
