【eqstaycan】除了IQ和EQ，还有CQ和PQ你知道吗？

Thomas L Friedman

《世界是平的－全球化的21世纪》，作者Thomas L Friedman，毕业于牛津大学，现为《纽约时报》专栏作家，唯一一个曾三次获得普利策奖的记者。该书详细阐述了作者是如何发现世界已经从“圆”的变成了“平的”。高科技的发展让国家与国家，公司与公司，个人与个人之间的竞争平台扁平化，地理位置已经无法阻挠公平竞争了。具体地说，作者从自己去印度，中国的游历中看到了一大批高新人才的涌现，看到了这些国家适应时代的改革带来的飞速发展。为了让下一代人更好地适应未来社会，作者给出了自己的教育理念：

－ The first and most important, ability you can develop in a flat world is the ability to "learn how to learn" — to constantly absorb, and teach yourself, new ways of doing old things or new ways of doing new things.

在扁平世界中首当其冲要培养的能力就是“学会如何学习”，－－不间断地吸取知识和自我学习，新的方式做旧的事情或新的方式做新的事情。

如何激发年轻人不断去学习呢？动力从哪里来呢？

For all these reasons, I have concluded that in a flat world, IQ — intelligence quotient — still matters, but CQ and PQ — curiosity and passion quotient — matter even more. I live by the EQuatiion CQ + PQ > IQ. Because curious, passionate kids are self-educators and self-motivators.

以上种种原因，我总结在扁平世界里，智商仍然重要，但是好奇心(CQ) 和热情商数 (PQ) 更加重要。我信奉 CQ + PQ > IQ的公式。因为有好奇心有热情的孩子是自我学习者和自我激励者。

You need to be good at managing or interacting with other people. If you want to be sure that what I call an untoutable, you need to focus on constantly developing your right-brain skills — "such as forging relationshios rather than executing transactions, tackling novel challenges instead of solving routine problems, and synthesizing the big picture rather than analyzing a single component."

你要善于管理或者与别人交流。如果你想在扁平世界不被淘汰，你就要集中培养自己的右脑技能 －－ “例如着重与人建立关系而不是执行交易，注重解决新的挑战而不是解决例行问题，还要有综合的大局观而不是分析单个问题。”

To flourish in this age, we'll need to supplement our well-developed high-tech abilities with aptitudes that are "high concept" and "high touch." High concept involves the ability to create artistic and emotional beauty, to detect patterrns and opportunities, to craft a satisfying narrative, and to come up with inventions the world didn't know it was missing. High touch involves the capacity to empathize, to understand the subtlties of human interaction, to find joy in one's self and to elicit in others, and to stretch beyond the quotidian in pursuit of purpose and meaning.

要在这个时代“盛开”，我们需要把“高度概念”和“高度动人”的才能与发展完善的高科技想结合。高度概念指的是创造艺术和情感美的能力，发现规律和机会来构造令人折服的故事情节，并构思出让世人相见恨晚的发明创造。高度动人是指有同理心，理解人类交流的微妙之处，在自身和引导他人中找到快乐，并超越日常去寻求目标和意义。

So far America has not succumbed either to economic protectionists, who want to put up walls to keep jobs in, or national security protectionists, who want to keep workers out. The one thing we can't do is try to "protect our way to prosperity." It is essential that we stay as open and flexible as possible.

目前为止美国还没有屈服于经济保护主义者去建造壁垒来保留国内的工作机会，或国家安全保护主义者去阻挡外来劳工的进入。（现在美国总统特朗普的很多行为就是经济保护主义和国家安全保护主义的，是不是有一点讽刺呢？）我们唯一无法做到的事情就是“保护主义致富。”维持我们的开放和灵活制度是至关重要的。

China and India and other Asian countries will not be successful at innovation until they have successful capital markets, and they will not have successful capital markets until they have rule of law which protects minority interests under conditions of risk.

中国，印度和其他亚洲国家只有建立健全的金融市场才能实现成功的创新，只有建立法律来保护风险情况下少数人的利益才能建立起健全的金融市场。（这是不是很值得我们国家思考呢？）

美国成功的秘密是什么呢？

"One is the sheer openness of American society." We Americans often forget what an incredibly open, say-anything-do-anything-start-anything-go-bankrupt-and-start-anything-again society the United States is. "Quality of American intellectual property protection", which further enhances and encourages people to come uo with new ideas. The United States also has among the most flexible labor laws in the world. No low-trust society will ever produce sustained innovation.

“美国社会的开放”。美国人常常忘了自己身处一个如此开放的社会，他们可以想说什么就说什么，想做什么就做什么，想创业就创业，破产以后又可以从头再来，这样美好的社会。“美国对知识产权的有效保护”，更进一步地加强和鼓励了人们创新的欲望。美国同时还有着世界上最灵活的劳工法。没有一个低诚信的社会可以持续产生创新。（提高社会诚信度对鼓励创新非常重要，中国社会正在逐渐走上正轨）

America's secret sauce — a mix of institutions, laws, and cultural norms that produce a level of trust, innovation, and collaboration that has enabled us to constantly renew our economy and raise our standard of living.

美国的秘密配方 －－ 大学机构，法律，文化习俗的结合建立了一定的诚信，激发了创新和合作，让美国社会在经济上不断进步，提高了生活水平。
