我想向你們解釋一些你們大多數人可能都沒有想過的事情。西方文明只代表了世界人口的 20% 左右。我希望你們能花一點時間來理解這一點。世界上只有大約 20% 的人被認為是西方文明，例如美國、英國、澳洲等等。我們經常為這 20% 的人設計內容、產品和體驗。這意味著世界上 80% 的人口經常被忽視，至少被我們忽視了。在這 80% 的人中，存在著尚未開發的潛力。有些才能和想法我們從未聽過、從未見過、從未體驗過、從未有機會體驗，這就是為什麼我們不去迎合他們。我們只迎合那微不足道的 20%。在這個 20% 的世界裡，我們忙著四處奔波試圖給彼此留下深刻印象，以至於我們忽略了世界上 80% 的潛力。我要向你們解釋一些事情，讓這一點更加深刻。

法蒂瑪先生：1:33

我將以我自己為例，來解釋我今天要討論的內容——我的網站。我剛剛徹底重建了自己的網站。它位於…你可以看看。網址是fatimabay.com。這只是我的名字，但我最近重建了整個網站，而且我的網站設定非常特別。如果你參觀它，你會發現它看起來不那麼典型，尤其是對我這個圈子裡的人來說。就像我圈子裡的其他教練和其他人一樣，我沒有大型的圖片檔案。我只有幾個視頻，非常簡單易用。事實上，我為這個播客的每一期都創建了一個部落格。那麼，身為國際思維轉變教練，我們為什麼要創建一個非常簡單的網站呢？它很漂亮，但功能很簡單。我為什麼要這樣做？我會向你們解釋我為什麼要這樣做。

So, within that 80% of the world, within those other cultures and other places in the world, connectivity to the internet is an issue. You see, here in the US, we take in the US and other places like here, we take internet connectivity for granted because it's just available to us and we complain if something isn't fast. We are just used to this level of connectivity. Many parts of the world don't have that. That is actually a privilege and quite often expensive, and even in some places in the world where they do have connectivity, the issue is they have limited data, just like we used to pay for minutes here in the US for our phones. Many people in the world still live on that sort of system where they have to pay for data. That's a big deal.

Fatima Bey: 3:09

So when I and also the hearing impaired, so the hearing impaired we often don't think about them when we create things. We kind of like do things on the side for them, but we don't actually always think about them enough, I would say, because some people do. But the hearing impaired, I want to make sure they have access to my podcast as well, which is why I created the blog. I want every teen in the world, literally who can, to have access to the impactful conversations that happen on this podcast. I don't just want to talk to the 20%. We have enough information already. We're going to use it or not. I really want to make sure that that other 80 percent of the world teens in the world can actually have access to the same things that you and I do, because they matter too.

法蒂瑪先生：3:54

The other thing I did when setting up my website is I made sure that my website is translatable in over 50 languages around the world, because not everybody speaks English. Why does that have to be a barrier? Since they matter too, why not find a way to give them access and my website automatically translate into the language that of your location, basically, but you can also choose languages. Why did I do that? For the same reason, I made the design simple Because they matter too, and I want them to know that. I want them to have just as much access to everything else that we in the 20% world have. Now, I just use that as an example to strike a point.

Fatima Bey: 4:36

Let me give you some other numbers. Do you know that only 66% of the world has strong internet? That means 30, 34% of the world does not have strong internet, so even if they could pay for data, they still might not be able to get it. Well, I think they matter too, so that's why I had a website set up easy enough, where someone with low data can still navigate everything on there. And if they can't listen to the audio because it uses up too much data, they can at least read about it. Many countries sell data the way, like I said, the way we used to do in the US, and this can be very costly for them.

Fatima Bey: 5:12

I don't think most of you really understand what a big deal it is to navigate some of these websites that we create here in the 20% world. We want to be big and flashy and sell ourselves, especially coaches. So look at me why you need my expertise. Blah, blah, blah. All of that stuff that we put, that we front load into our landing page on our websites. They take up a lot of data because we use a lot of big files animations, videos. All of those things matter. You don't optimize photos. All of those things matter, and you know what that means. You're only going to reach the 20% because a lot of the people around the world can't load that Correction. 34% because we're talking about internet connectivity and that piece. That means there's a considerable amount of people that you're not reaching because you're focused on just a few, and this means that many of these people without internet connectivity at you know strong internet connectivity they don't have access to something that could change their lives, because maybe you have the thing that they need to hear, but you haven't considered them, so they haven't mattered to.

Fatima Bey: 6:16

I want to give you this analogy Ignoring the 80% of the world, who is not Western civilization. Ignoring the 80% of the world is like picking up pebbles because they're close and not looking just a little bit further to see the precious gems that are worth even more. Are you ignoring gems out there while focusing on pebbles even more? Are you ignoring gems out there while focusing on pebbles?

Fatima Bey: 6:40

There's a man by the name of Miles Monroe. He died in 2014, but he was one of the greatest minds of the last century. He really was. Look him up. He really really was. Don't have time here to tell his whole life story, but I'm just going to point out a couple of things about him. He came from a third world country and used to sleep on a dirt floor with rats and roaches. He was told that people like him could never excel. He was literally told that Fast forward to the future. He became very wealthy, one of the most. I don't know how many books this man wrote. He was an author. He wrote maybe a hundred or so books. I really don't even know because I didn't look up the number, but he wrote many, many, many books. He was an author, he was a speaker and very, very wealthy. But the key thing I want to point out about him is he was an influencer to world leaders. I would say, out of everything we know about the man, that was his biggest asset. He had the ear of world leaders. Kings and queens and presidents and world leaders literally would listen to this man, and he was a Christian man and he preached and taught from the Bible, and many of these people in the world who listened to him were of other religions and faiths, yet they listened to him. He grew up in a third world country. He was a part of that 80%. He was part of the people that the people ignored. He was part of the ones who.

Fatima Bey: 7:57

You can't be anything. People like you don't go anywhere. Some of you are like yeah, do you? Some of the world's greatest inventions and cures are lying in places that we are brushing off or not considering, and I want you to take this, no matter what your age is. I want you to take this to home. What are you ignoring around you that might be a precious gem, while you're sitting around playing with stones, sitting around playing with pebbles, ignoring the gems that are down the street, in the city next to you, in the state next to you, because they don't look like you, because they're poor, because they're whatever detail, fill in the blanks. What gems are you missing out on?

Fatima Bey: 8:37

現在我想花點時間和青少年們談談，特別是那些正在聽或讀這篇文章的青少年們。我想讓你們知道，你們很重要，我希望你們知道，我不希望你們像你們的前幾代人一樣。我希望你們變得更好。比我們更好。比我們更好，我們只關注20%的人，而錯過了80%的財富。比我們更好。要發現生活中的珍寶，因為你們是讓這個世界變得更好的一代。我們已經把它搞砸了。你們是人民，你們是可以讓這個世界變得更美好的一代，你們可以透過改變它，透過做不同的事情，透過認識到你們身邊有珍寶，而你們只需要用心去發現。不要再被你們的文化束縛，我不在乎你們來自哪個國家。我們每個人都有文化，好的和壞的，我們每個人都應該學習。走出去，打破那個框框。探索外在，探索你的文化教給你的東西，探索那些珍貴的寶石。但我希望你發現的最大寶石，是你照鏡子時看到的那顆。是的，你，你是世界上最珍貴的寶石之一，我希望你知道這一點。我看到了你，我相信你就是世界上最珍貴的寶石。

Fatima Bey: 9:42

最大的潛力往往是尚未開發的。你，青春期的少男少女，內心深處有哪些尚未開發的潛能，因為不被接受而被你隱藏了起來？你內心深處有哪些潛能你沒有讓別人看到，沒有釋放出來？你那浩瀚的心靈深處，又有哪些你認為無人傾聽的秘密？你可能已經找到了解決某個世界難題的答案，只是你沒有將它釋放出來。

法蒂瑪先生：10:05

我想讓你知道，你也很重要，對於所有再次聆聽或閱讀這篇文章的人來說，當你坐著玩鵝卵石或專注於鵝卵石時，我想把這個想法植入你的腦海裡。

法蒂瑪先生：10:17

What gems are you missing out on? What great value are you ignoring playing with the 20% and missing out on the greatest potential of all time because you want to focus on the pebbles, because they're close to your feet. Look a little further, find those gems, and for any teenager out there listening, I really want to know that you're listening, that you're reading, whichever way. So if you go to fatimabaycom slash podcast, or you can go to mindshiftpowerpodcastcom and send me a message, let me know that you understand that you matter too, and I want to leave you guys with this thought here there are gems that look like stones until you get close enough to see their brilliance. They matter too. Thank you for listening.
