歡迎收聽《思維轉換力量》播客，這是一檔面向青少年及其相關成年人的節目，我們將在這裡進行坦誠而直接的對話。我是主持人，思維轉換者法蒂瑪貝。歡迎！我是思維轉換者法蒂瑪貝。在今天的節目中，我既是主持人，也是嘉賓。

Today is one of those rare solo episodes. Well, you saw the title of this episode, so let me start off with this question. Are you a stupid dummy? I promise you that by the end of this episode, you will hear this question very differently. Alright.

So in order for you to truly understand this question, I am going to define stupid, dumb, d u m b, and dummy. FYI, the definition of stupid in this episode is only within the context of this episode. It will not match what you see in the dictionary. I have redefined it for the the purpose of of explaining this. Now dumb, d u m b, means someone who lacks intelligence and does foolish things.

是啊。是啊。我知道。我們現在都在想著某個人。是啊。

我也在想它們。好吧，我們繼續。假的，假的。設計用來模仿和取代真實或常見事物的東西。

In other words, a counterfeit or sham. I want you to think about that. Stupid. Stupid, in the context of this episode, is someone who is intelligent but acting like a dummy. Alright.

I'm gonna start off I'm gonna break this down, and you're gonna understand why these words apply to most of you listening. So I'll start off with a story. So there was a girl named Veronica. She is only 13. Now, this girl is always collecting seeds from food that people are throwing away.

People look at her like she's an idiot. They call her a weirdo. They make fun of her. I mean, after all, she is collecting garbage. Right?

好吧，不管他們怎麼取笑她、嘲弄她，她還是會繼續收集種子。他們甚至會製作關於她的表情包，互相分享。有時他們甚至會發一些關於她收集種子的貼文。例如，她以撿垃圾和收集種子而聞名。那麼，為什麼維羅妮卡會變成這麼一個怪胎呢？

Why is she, like, taking people's garbage and taking seeds from them? Like, what a weirdo. Why is she doing that? Well, even though people are saying that about her and to her, and she keeps being a weirdo, and she keeps collecting seeds, even though everyone is everybody's clowning her. Well, Veronica thinks differently than her peers.

You see, where everyone else just sees garbage, she sees seeds. You're gonna throw that half eaten apple away. She sees that she eat the seeds out of it, so she does. You ate the orange, but there's some seeds left, so she takes those. You had a few pieces of cucumber in your salad that you wanted to leave.

There's seeds in that. She took it. Well, you all just see garbage, But Veronica saw seeds, and when she sees these seeds, she envisions gardens and orchards. You see, it's like this, the way Veronica thinks. An apple seed never produces just one apple.

An apple seed will produce an apple tree, which will give you an abundance of apples, lots of them. You see, the other thing is Veronica comes from an extremely poor family and cannot even ask for a dollar to buy seeds because they're not gonna give it to her because they're struggling to buy bread. They're definitely not gonna give her a dollar to buy seeds. So she can't even go to the Dollar Tree dollar store and buy seeds. So she's collecting seeds the only way she knows how, by getting them for free around her in an unusual way.

Well, while everyone else is making fun of her, she kept collecting seeds, and at the same time, she was learning about gardening online. She was learning how to take those seeds and do something with them. Follow me. One day, Veronica collects enough seeds to start a small garden, and she did it right in her backyard. It wasn't a very big, very small plot of land, but it was something to work with, and so she did.

Veronica started eventually, Veronica started selling fruits and vegetables from that backyard garden. Meanwhile, she was still collecting seeds and being made fun of. Well, fast forward, eventually Veronica used the the knowledge and skills she had developed to start her own market garden and orchard. So all whole time she was learning and developing her skills in her backyard, she took that knowledge and skill set and turned it into a market garden and orchard. Fast forward again.

維羅妮卡18歲時收入就達到六位數了。是的，你沒聽錯。這意味著她18歲時收入就已經超過十萬美元了。真希望我13歲時就能有她那樣的眼光。

你看，當人們嘲笑她，稱她為愚蠢的怪胎時，她無視這些，而是真正運用自己的智慧去取得成功。她沒有像別人那樣被迫變成傻瓜。她沒有屈服於壓力。她沒有停止自己正在做的事情，也沒有讓自己的視野或智慧沉默。她沒有變得像周圍的人一樣愚蠢。

這就是她成功的原因。你們當中有多少人到處裝傻，而不是充分發揮自己的智慧。我再問一遍，你們是不是個愚蠢的傻瓜？你們是為了和其他傻瓜混在一起，把自己真正的天賦、真正的智慧、真正的才能都藏在虛假的外表下？再說一遍，這集裡愚蠢的定義就是聰明卻像個傻瓜。

You see, most of you listening right now are in fact intelligent, but you're acting like a dummy so you can fit in. What made me think of this episode is I go to high schools, and I do workshops and and and speaking engagements. Something I see that bothers me to the core of my soul, I see teens who think they are dumb because they don't actually fit in, but they're actually intelligent. They think they're dumb because they don't fit into the box that society has put them in. And when I say society, let me be clear, I mean school systems, jobs, friends, family, etcetera.

在這樣的脈絡下，這些都是平等的社會。很多高中生覺得自己很笨，因為他們格格不入。他們和周圍的傻瓜不一樣。我能告訴你一個秘密嗎？大多數聰明人都不合群。

傻瓜總是能融入其中。聰明人往往不行。你知道為什麼嗎？因為普通的盒子只適合傻瓜。如果你現在正在聽，而且你是個青少年，其實我不在乎你的年齡，因為這與我們所有人都息息相關。

You are not dumb because you don't fit in. I'm gonna say that again. You are not dumb just because you don't fit in. Sometimes that thing that makes you different is exactly where your gift and intelligence is, just like Veronica. She saw what no one else could see.

Everybody else saw trash. She saw treasure, and she didn't care what anybody else had to say about it. She went for it. And you know what she got for that? Way ahead of everybody else at her age.

我的意思是，她比同齡人優秀得多。你們當中有多少人現在落後了，是因為你們努力融入那些傻瓜群體，而實際上你們很聰明，所以現在卻表現得很笨？再說一遍，你是個傻瓜嗎？如果不是，我的天哪，那真是太棒了。讓這訊息成為你們繼續前進的動力。

But for the majority of you who who've been listening and you know you've been living as a stupid dummy, it is not too late to change. You can start acting on those thoughts. You can start letting your true intelligence come out and develop so that you too can be ahead of your peers. 100% of the time when someone's ahead of their peers, they think differently. They think outside the box.

There's never ever on this green earth where anyone has ever gotten ahead of their peers thinking just like them. I'm just saying. So you can start letting out your true intelligence the way God created you and not be another dummy inside of a box. Your gifting may lie in the way you think. I really want you to ponder that.

Your gifting, your intelligence will lie in the way you think. And by the way, I feel the need to add in here, we do not all have the same kind of intelligence. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. You do not need I mind shift. You do not need to mind shift like I do.

You may be the world's greatest brain surgeon, which I am not. That's not my talent. It might be yours. The way you think is where your gifting lies, and I want you to, at the end of this episode, go and examine what that is, and find the powerful intelligence that you have not been using. The way you think may be the key to your acceleration, but you will never excel without being with yourself.

所以我想告訴你們：別當傻瓜，做個聰明的自己。感謝收聽“Mindshift Power”播客。請按讚並訂閱我的YouTube頻道「Mind shifter」。
