感觉在世界上任何地方 (Feeling at Home Anywhere in the World)

The world is so huge — I want to see all of it! I am inspired by unique cultures and love to have insights into our varied ways of life. I believe one of the most valuable things we can do is learn about other cultures, celebrate each other’s differences, and find ways to come together.

这个世界是如此巨大-我想看到所有的一切！我受到独特文化和热爱的启发，对我们的多种生活方式有深刻见解。我相信，我们可以做的最有价值的事情之一就是了解其他文化，庆祝彼此的差异，并找到团结的方式。

One of the things I love about working at Salesforce is that there is space for everyone, whatever your background. Difference is celebrated because diversity lifts all of us up. Salesforce is truly a global community. Today I work in Tel Aviv but I know that in this organization I would be made welcome wherever I was.

我喜欢在Salesforce工作的一件事是，无论您的背景如何，每个人都有足够的空间。差异之所以盛行，是因为多样性使我们所有人都感到振奋。 Salesforce确实是一个全球社区。今天，我在特拉维夫工作，但我知道在这个组织中，无论身在何处，我都会受到欢迎。

I am an Arab living in Tel Aviv and working in tech, so I have some experience of what it’s like to be the “only one” in the room. Arabs make up about 20 percent of Israel’s population, but 12 years ago only about 350 worked in tech. Today that number is 6,600 — an amazing increase — but tech is still considered an unusual job choice in my culture. The expectation is that we will go into jobs seen as more traditionally stable, like the public sector or medicine.

我是一个住在特拉维夫的阿拉伯人，从事技术工作，所以我对成为房间中的“唯一一个人”有一些经验。阿拉伯人约占以色列人口的20％，但是12年前只有约350人从事过技术工作。今天，这个数字是6,600，这是一个惊人的增长，但是在我的文化中，技术仍然被认为是不寻常的工作选择。期望我们将从事传统上较为稳定的工作，例如公共部门或医学。

耐心和持久性建造桥梁 (Building Bridges with Patience and Persistence)

Even though I wanted to study computer science, I went to study medicine in Italy. I realized very quickly that medicine wasn’t for me and returned home after a few months. I love and respect my culture, but generally speaking it is not very accepting of “failures.” I’ve come to learn that failure can be an opportunity to know myself better and to make a positive change, but the decision I made to stop studying medicine and come home was not well received.

即使我想学习计算机科学，我还是去意大利学习医学。我很快意识到药不适合我，几个月后回到家。我喜欢并尊重我的文化，但总的来说，我不太接受“失败”。我开始了解到失败可能是一个更好地了解自己并做出积极改变的机会，但是我做出的停止学习医学并回家的决定并没有得到人们的认可。

It was tough, and it got tougher before it got easier. I studied computer science and started working in tech — I was doing well in my job and things were looking up. Then one day I was laid off with 500 other engineers. For some, this was seen as another failure.

这很艰难，在变得更容易之前变得越来越艰难。我学习了计算机科学，并开始从事技术工作-我的工作做得很好，而且情况还在不断改善。一天，我和500名其他工程师一起被解雇了。对于某些人来说，这被视为另一个失败。

“That world is not for you,” I was told. “Go and work in a bank.” But I persisted. For 10 months I contacted every company I knew in Israel, until I finally found a position with a global tech company. Today, those “failures” are stories I share with others who are looking for opportunities outside the ones traditionally seen as suitable for them. We have a tendency to want success straight away. So I suggest taking it easy and being patient — you don’t have to be CEO within a week! It’s okay to make some mistakes along the way and try different things. I blog regularly about my experiences and am also interviewed often for radio and television shows that have Arab audiences here in Israel. These are great platforms for sharing my messages and connecting with others who might be facing similar challenges. It’s important for underrepresented groups to see themselves in these jobs, and to know what opportunities are available to them. Salesforce empowers me to set that example by helping me share my story and bring it to other students and aspiring tech professionals.

有人告诉我：“那个世界不适合你。” “去银行工作。” 但是我坚持。我联系了我在以色列认识的每家公司10个月，直到我最终在一家全球科技公司找到了工作。今天，这些“失败”是我与其他人共享的故事，他们在传统上认为合适的机会之外寻找机会。我们倾向于立即获得成功。因此，我建议您放轻松并保持耐心-您不必在一周内成为CEO！可以在执行过程中犯一些错误并尝试不同的方法。我定期写博客介绍我的经历，还经常接受广播和电视节目的采访，这些广播节目吸引了以色列的阿拉伯观众。这些是共享我的消息并与可能面临类似挑战的其他人联系的绝佳平台。对于代表性不足的群体来说，重要的是要看到自己从事这些工作，并知道他们有什么机会。 Salesforce通过帮助我分享我的故事并将其带给其他学生和有抱负的技术专业人员，使我能够树立榜样。

And I’m always looking for ways to bring the communities in Israel together. There can be so much wariness between our cultures, but all cultures are so rich and have so much to give and share. I want to be a bridge-builder. I’m excited, for example, to volunteer for Tsofen, a non-profit organization in which Jewish and Arab professionals work together to develop the high-tech sector in the Arab community. Salesforce’s 56 hours of volunteer time off (VTO) each year encourage me to volunteer. I don’t feel that I need special approval to take time and give back. I visit universities to share my story, prepare students for their next steps, and host students on-site. I love being part of an organization that recognizes the importance of diversity and helps me not only succeed professionally, but gives me the time and the resources to contribute to programs and projects that can make a difference for the better.

而且我一直在寻找使以色列社区团结在一起的方法。我们的文化之间可能会有如此多的警惕，但所有文化都非常丰富，有很多东西可以分享。我想成为桥梁建设者。例如，我很高兴为Tsofen (一个非营利组织)提供志愿服务，该组织由犹太人和阿拉伯专业人员共同致力于发展阿拉伯社区的高科技部门。 Salesforce每年有56个小时的志愿者休假(VTO)鼓励我做志愿者。我认为我不需要特别批准就可以抽出时间回馈。我访问大学分享我的故事，为学生的下一步工作做准备，并在现场接待学生。我喜欢成为一个组织的一员，该组织认识到多样性的重要性，不仅可以帮助我在职业上取得成功，还可以为我提供时间和资源，为可以使情况变得更好的方案和项目做出贡献。

That, to me, is success.

对我而言，那就是成功。
