我如何将被拒绝的会议演讲变成在Medium和YouTube上的300K观看次数-CSDN博客

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill

“成功包括不断失败而不失热情。” - 温斯顿·丘吉尔

I’ve failed at so many things.

我在很多事情上都失败了。

I failed to become a firefighter. I gave the worst possible answer to the question: “If you noticed a co-worker was coming into work after drinking a few beers, what would you do?” That should have been an easy question, right?

我未能成为一名消防员。我对这个问题给出了最糟糕的答案：“如果您发现同事喝了几杯啤酒后开始工作，您会怎么做？” 那应该是一个简单的问题，对吗？

Later, I failed my student teaching — basically an internship for teachers — and had to redo it.

后来，我的学生教学失败了-基本上是为老师实习-并且不得不重做。

In 2016, I failed to get a job that I’d spent several months of my life preparing for.

2016年，我找不到一份为自己准备了几个月的工作。

And just a few months ago, I failed to get into a big tech conference I was excited about. I submitted multiple talk proposals, but they were all rejected.

就在几个月前，我未能参加一个令我兴奋的大型技术会议。我提交了多个谈话建议，但都被拒绝了。

After this rejection, I decided to turn one of the talks into an article and submitted it to freeCodeCamp’s Medium publication.

遭到拒绝之后，我决定将其中一个演讲变成一篇文章，并将其提交给freeCodeCamp的Medium出版物。

This was about the same time that Quincy Larson from freeCodeCamp emailed me to see if he could interview me about my JavaScript YouTube channel, JS Nuggets.

大约在同一时间，freeCodeCamp的Quincy Larson给我发送了电子邮件，以查看他是否可以就我JavaScript YouTube频道JS Nuggets采访我。

After the interview, we were just about to stop talking when I asked if he had a chance to look at my article submission. He hadn’t but he reviewed it quickly and said he thought he would be able to publish it. While discussing the article, he asked me if I wanted to start posting my videos to the freeCodeCamp YouTube channel.

采访后，当我问他是否有机会查看我提交的文章时，我们正要停止交谈。他没有，但是他Swift对其进行了审查，并说他认为自己将能够发布它。在讨论该文章时，他问我是否要开始将我的视频发布到freeCodeCamp YouTube频道。

My article went on to have over 100K views and I’m now posting regular software training videos to the freeCodeCamp YouTube channel. The channel recently reached 100K subscribers.

我的文章继续获得超过10万的观看次数，现在我向freeCodeCamp YouTube频道发布常规软件培训视频。该频道最近有10万订户。

And because of my videos on the freeCodeCamp YouTube channel, I’ve been approached by a software book publisher about creating a paid video course for them.

由于我的视频在freeCodeCamp YouTube频道上，因此，一家软件图书发行商曾与我联系，为他们创建付费视频课程。

None of these things would have happened if I had not been rejected to speak at that conference. Even though it would have been great to speak there, a lot of good has come out of my rejection.

如果我不被拒绝在那次会议上讲话，这些事情都不会发生。即使在那儿讲话会很棒，但我的拒绝还是带来了很多好处。

And when I think about it, failing my first round of student teaching led to me getting a great teaching job at the school where I redid my student teaching.

当我考虑到这一点时，由于第一轮学生教学失败，导致我在我重新安排学生教学的学校获得了出色的教学工作。

Sometimes rejection and failure open the door to future success.

有时候，拒绝和失败为将来的成功打开了大门。

“The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear” — Gandhi

“敌人就是恐惧。 我们认为这是仇恨； 但是，这是恐惧” –甘地

Focusing on the benefits of failure helped me not fear failure as much. And not fearing failure has lead me to greater success, because I try more things.

专注于失败的好处让我不必那么担心失败。不用担心失败会使我获得更大的成功，因为我尝试了更多的事情。

Looking back on my life, I can honestly say that everything has happened for a reason. And knowing that makes facing future failures easier. There’s a plan for my life, and failures are just part of the plan.

回顾我的生活，我可以诚实地说一切都是有原因的。知道这一点将使面对未来的失败变得更加容易。我有一个人生计划，失败只是计划的一部分。

“Every rejection is a gift. Bounce don’t break.” — Seth Godin

“每次拒绝都是一种礼物。弹跳不破。” 塞思·戈丁

Another benefit of rejection for me is that it has caused me to explore different paths.

拒绝的另一个好处是，它使我探索了不同的道路。

Sometimes the path you’re on is wrong for you, but you don’t yet realize it. Being rejected for that job I had spent months preparing for led me to start creating YouTube videos and submitting those conference talk ideas. The rejection also got me thinking about the idea of moving to a new city.

有时候，您走的路对您来说是错误的，但您尚未意识到。由于被这项工作拒绝，我花了几个月的时间准备工作，这使我开始创建YouTube视频并提交会议演讲想法。拒绝也让我想到了搬到新城市的想法。

I’m so much more excited about the path my life is on now compared to where I would have been if I had not been rejected for that job. It definitely opened up a lot of opportunities to change.

与如果没有被这份工作拒绝的情况相比，我对现在的生活更加兴奋。它无疑为变革带来了很多机会。

Rejection is a great motivator.

拒绝是一个很大的动机。

Sometimes I lose motivation after being rejected. But after a little time spent grieving, I usually come back stronger. I’m motivated to attempt different and greater things. I was rejected for the conference in January and the article did not came out until the end of March.

有时候，我被拒绝后会失去动力。但是经过一段时间的悲伤之后，我通常会变得更坚强。我有动力去尝试不同的更大的事情。我被拒绝参加一月份的会议，并且直到三月底才发表文章。

After a failure or a rejection, I’ve found that it’s good to ask three questions to help make the best of the experience:

在失败或被拒绝之后，我发现最好问三个问题以帮助充分利用体验：

What can I learn from this experience?
我可以从这次经验中学到什么？
How can I turn this into a success?
我怎样才能成功？
How should I change my future plans to include this experience?
我应该如何改变自己的未来计划以包括这种经历？

“Ever Tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.” — Samuel Beckett

“曾经尝试过。曾经失败过。不管。再试一次。再次失败。失败了。” 塞缪尔·贝克特

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying failure is some magical thing that makes everything better. Failure and rejection are always unpleasant. It’s hard when you get your hopes up for something, then it doesn’t work out.

不要误会我的意思。我并不是说失败是使一切变得更好的神奇事物。失败和拒绝总是令人不快的。当您对某事抱有希望时，这很难，但是却没有成功。

Not all of my failures have lead to better things. My most recent ones happened to lead to 300,000 Medium and YouTube views, but they don’t all turn out that way. (And being a firefighter would have been awesome! ?)

并非我所有的失败都能带来更好的结果。我最近的观看碰巧导致了300,000次“中型”和YouTube观看，但事实并非如此。 (而当一名消防员真是太棒了！？)

But every time I look back on failure and see the positive, it makes the next failure easier. And when I can learn something from a failure, it doesn’t seem as bad.

但是每次我回顾失败并看到积极的一面时，都会使下一次失败变得容易。当我可以从失败中学习到一些东西时，它似乎还不错。

So after you fail, focus on the positive!

因此，在失败之后，请专注于积极方面！
